sence.

Visit of Prince Alfred to Dalkeith Palace,

On Saturday morning his Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, his Grand Ducal Highness Prince William
of Hesse and suite, and his Serene Highness Prince
Frederick of Holstein and his son Prince William,
left Holyrood Palace for Dalkeith Palace, on a visit
to the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. The royal
party arrived at Dalkeith Palace shortly before 11
o'clock, and were received by the Duke and Duchess
of Buccleuch, the Ladies Victoria, Margaret, and
Mary Scott, the Countess Dowager of Morton, Lady
Alice Douglas, Lieut.-Colonel and Lady Harriet
Fletcher, Lady Archibald Hope, Lady Georgina
Balfour of Balbirnie, Lord John Scott, Lord Henry
Scott, Lord Charles Scott, Sir Archibald Hope, and
Mr. Balfour of Balbirnie. The royal party were
then conducted through the entrance-hall, where
stands a colossal marble statue of the late Duke of
Wellington, executed by Campbell, to the break-
fast room, where they took breakfast.
After breakfast the royal party were conducted
to the drawing-room and gallery, in which apart-
ment, in 1842, her Majesty held her first
Drawing-room. The dining room was next
visited, where were shown a magnificent silver
centre-piece, weighing 3,000 ounces, designed
by Cotterell in 1829, round the base of which are
several beautiful figures in relief, representing the
origin of the Buccleuch family, so graphically de-
scribed by Sir Walter Scott; an immense silver
punchbowl, which was in the possession of Queen
Anne ; a gilt urn and ewer, presented by William
IV. as sponsor for Lord Dalkeith, M.P. ; a hand-
some gold and silver filigree cup, presented by her
Majesty in 1845, as godmother to Lady Victoria
Scott, the eldest daughterof his grace; and a variety
of other antique plate arranged on buffets. The
illustrious party next paid a visit to the stables,
while the ladies drove out. The carriage and har-
ness departments were next visited, after which the
royal party went out in the grounds on a shooting
excursion.

The weather proving mild and genial, luncheon
was served in the park, when the sport was again
resumed with much spirit, the party at the close of
the day having succeeded in bagging 75 head.
Shortly after five o'clock the distinguished party
returned to the Palace. Dinner was served at half-
past seven o'clock, after which his Serene Highness
Prince Frederick of Holstein and his son left for
Edinburgh, accompanied by Mr. Robert Scott, of
Fossaway.

His Royal Highness Prince Alfred and Prince
William of Hesse and suite attended Divine service
on Sunday in the West Parish Church, where the
Rev. James Lamont preached. The church was
well filled. In the afternoon the royal party
attended Divine service in the Duke of Buccieuch's
private chapel, accompanied by his grace and family.
The Rev. W. B. Bushby, 8.A., officiated. Their
royal highnesses are to return to Holyrood Palace
on Monday morning.—Scotsman.

THE FRENCH EMBASSY,--.}tie Ete3llency Barou

Another royal " counterblast" has been directed
against the use of tobacco. The late rrinee Con-
sort was 41 smoker, and the Prince of Wales has on more
than one occasion been seen with a cigar in his mouth;
but it appears that her Majesty has prohibited the use of
tobacco within the precincts of Windsor Castle. Notices
to this effect have been posted not only in rooms of the
lords-in•waiting and equerries, but even in the York
Tower, which is being fitted up for the Prince of Wales.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 186.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell,
Channell, and Pigott.)

TAE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. SILLIAN AND OTIIERS.---THE

SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA.

It will be remembered that this was an information filed
by the Attorney-General with a view of obtaining, on the
part of the Crown, a condemnation of the ship Alexandra,
as well as imposing penalties upon certain persons con-
cerned in the equipping, fitting out, and furnishing of the
ship contrary to the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment
Act. After a very protracted trial the jury found a verdict
for the defendants, the Attorney General tendering a bill of
exceptions to the Lord Chief Baron, before whom the case
was tried. Some further steps were then taken with re-
spect to the bill of exceptions in the court, when it was
agreed that the better way of reopening the whole ques•
tion was to abandon the bill of exceptions and move in the
court for a new trial, The Attorney-General, on this
arrangement, accordingly moved the court for a rule
to show why a new trial should not be granted
on the ground of misdirection by the Lord Chief Baron,
and also that the verdict was against the evidence. Alter
hearing the learned gentleman at considerable length, the
Court, on the sth instant, granted the Attorney-General a
rule calling upon the defendants to show cause, and this
morning Sir a Cairns, on the part of defendants, attended
to support the finding of the jury, and also to state his
reasons why the rule granted to the Attorney-General
should be discharged. The learned gentleman, at some
length, proceeded to state the exact position of the case,
and then quoted a number of cases in which Lord Stowell
and other distinguished authorities had laid down the
law with respect to neutral States, and according
to whose judgment there was clearly no case to which the
plaintiffs could point to support their view of the case. In
the sth volume of Canning's speeches, page 50, several
observations would be found to support his argument; and
again in 1793 nothing could be more clear than the law
laid down with respect to neutral powers by the United
States, when application was made by England to them to
prevent the building and fitting out of privateers in Ame-
rican ports by the representatives of the French Republic.
The learned gentleman was proceeding when we went to
press.

The arguments in this case, it is expected, will occupy
four days at least.

SURREY TMATRE,

On Saturday a new drama entitled " The Game of Life;
or, the Swallows of Paris," was produced here with im-
mense success. On Miss Pauncefort, Mr. Shepherd, and
Mr. Fernandez the chief weight of the piece rested, and they
carried it through with great vigour and talent. Mr. Shep-
herd deserves much credit for his picturesque make-up as
the miser, and also for a characteristic representation of a
Frenchman in the prologue. Miss Pauncefort and Miss
Gordon were effective in their respective parts, and played
with much energy. The audience paid great attention to
the progress of the play, which, although very complicated,
is nevertheless very interesting and amusing. There was
exceedingly effective scenery, the conflagration that ensues
at the end of the second act receiving well-merited applause
—and altogether " The Game of. Life; or, The Swallows of
Paris," may be recorded as a genuine success.
A broad burlesque, entitled " Mad Fred," which is a
rough burlesque of the Drury-lane play, was also produced
for the first time. Mad Fred is played by the chief low
comedian, Mr. T. Thorne, who seems to have obtained the
thorough goodwill of his audience. Of course the Pepper
mode of raising ghosts or spirits is brought into operation,
which, with the very clever scenery by Mr. Johnson, and
the singing of Miss Jacobs, carried the extravaganza to a
successful conclusion.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

ROBBERY BY A FOREIGNER.—EmiI Lebred, will de-
scribed himself as a chemist, of Vire, Normandy, was
charged with stealing a work-box containing money, a
deposit book, and other articles of the value of £4, the pro-
perty of Mr. Ole Tofte, 47, Wardour-street, Soho.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner lodged
in the prosecutor's house, and took advantage of the absence
of .;he prosecutor to enter one of his rooms and take away
the workbox. When searched by Michael Reardon, 72 E,
a shilling which had been taken from the workbox (posi-
tively sworn to, it having been given to the prosecutor's
little boy, and the prosecutor having marked it with the
initials of his son and those of the friend who had given it
to him) was found in the prisoner's possession.
The evidence having been read over to the prisoner by
Mr. Albert, the interpt eter, the prisoner was remanded.
