Palace for a short time proceeded in a carriage to
the beautiful pass of Gorunne, which is distant
some eight miles from the town of Corfu, near the
Santa Decca mountain, and commands an extensive
panoramic view of the whole island. His Royal
Highness, as well as all his suite, was in plain
clothes, and all public displays of loyally, such as
salutes and guards of honour, wore dispensed with,
and the assembled crowd of Corfiote Sunday loun-
gers who had collected on the esplanade were con-
sequently disappointed in their expectations of a
Royal pageant. On his return the Prince attended
Divine service at the garrison chapel in the citadel,
after which he took a walk, as almost every inhabi-
tant of Corfu, whether British or lonian, does on
Sunday, to the one-gun battery, and in the even-
ing he honoured the Lord High Commissioner with
his company at dinner. Call);

men at headquarters, numbering 1,300 of all ranks,
were assembled in front of their respective quar-
ters shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon in
heavy marching order. Each man was provided
with 10 rounds of blank cartridge, and the flank
companies 15 rounds each man, for skirmishing.
The battalion, which was under the command of
Col. T. • C. C. Moore, Acting-Commandant, then,
marched to the Great Lines, and was drawn up in
review order. Four hundred of the recruits and
undisciplined men were detached to keep the
ground, After inspecting the line Major-General
Stransham took up his position at the saluting-flag,
when the division broke into companies and
marched past in slow and quick time with the
greatest steadiness and regularity. The battalion
was subsequently put through an extended course
of light infantiy and other movements incidental
to a field-day, all of which were accomplished in
the most admirable manner, notwithstanding that
the high wind which swept over the Lines occa-
sionally prevented anything like the orders of the
officers being heard by the men. The battalion re-
turned•to quarters at five o'clock, after the men had
been under arms four hours.
A general order which announces the rules and
regulations for the distribution of the prizes for
best shooting, to be yearly contended for by the
non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal
Engineers, has been received at headquarters,
Chatham, from the office of the Deputy Adjutant-
General.
In consideration of the proficiency attained by
the Volunteer Artillery corps generally in the prac-
tice of gunnery, the Secretary of State for War has
decided that from the Ist of April next the pre-
sent allowance of blank ammunition issued to Artil-
lery volunteer corps shall be reduced, and an in-
crease made in the annual allowance of practice
ammunition, according to the following scale :—Per
battery, 100 shot, 25 shell, and 30 blank; per sub-
division, 60 shot, 15 shell, and 20 blank ; per sec-
tion, 40 shot, 10 shell, and 10 blank.
"The Secretary of State for War has decided that
Staff officers having the actual rank of Brigadier-
General may be permitted, from and after the Ist
of April next, to receive the money allowance, in
lieu of two servants, provided such officers are not
attached to the headquarter Staff. This indulgence
is only to extend to Brigadier-Generals in command
of brigades, and not to officers holding Staff appoint-
ments who may have the relative rank of Brigadier-

ies, as without the assistance of a
southern glow the delicate tints which are the pe-
culiar characteristics of scenery here, and render
the close of day so beautiful, do not come out. At
sunset, and for half an hour afterwards (for twi-
light is but short in these latitudes), the heights
are coloured with purple and violet hues ; and the
mountains of snowy Albania, which stretch in a
bold line along the blue channel which separates
them from the island of Corfu, stand out in clear
relief, their snow-capped points tinged first with
brilliant pink, and then gradually, as the shades of
evening descend, with purple and violet tints. It
is to be regretted that his Royal Highness has not
had the opportunity of seeing this beautiful island
in fine weather. The Corfu of cloudy weather is
not the Corfu of sunshine.

On Monday the Prince, accompanied by Sir John
Inglis, the newly-arrived General, visited the forti-
fications in the citapel, the hospital, and afterwards,
to the great delight of the inhabitants, he paid
visit to the church of St. Spiridion, where the
body of St. Spiro, the patron saint and miracu-
lous guardian of the island, is preserved. After-
wards his Royal Highness, accompanied by some of
his suite and the aides-de-camp of the Lord High
Commissioner, took a long ride in the country, re-
turning, however, in time to be present at the
drawing of the tombola, which took place that
afternoon on the esplanade, in the presence 'of
very nearly the whole population. To the
uninitiated it may be well here to observe
that this is the game of lotto played in public,
and that it creates as much excitement both here
and in Italy as a Spanish bullfight may in Spain.
It is to be regretted that thempt of the Prince to
Corfu has taken place somewhat later than it was

Yesterday morning the Victor Emmanuel, Captain
Clifford, was honoured by a visit from his Royal
Highness. The weather, however, was sounfavour-
able in the afternoon that excursions into the coun-
try were quite out of the question, and the day
ended by a dinner at the Palace, which included
some of the principal persons in the island.
His Royal Highness is not the only Prince who
has honoured Corfu with a visit within the last
week. Two young Bavarian Princes, the sons of
Prince Luitpold, and nephews of King Otho of
Greece, arrived here the other day, en route for
Athens, but were met by a Greek gunboat with a
letter from his Majesty, their uncle, recommending
them to retrace their steps, in consequence of the
military revolt which has broken out at Nauplia.
The eldest of these Princes is being educated in,
expectation of succeeding to the throne of Greece,
there being no direct heir.

Greece have also, I am informed, for the present
altered the route of the Prince of Wales, who pur-
posed visiting that classic land before proceeding
further east ; and he started at 12 o'clock last night
direct for Syria, accompanied by her Majesty's
frigate Doris, Captain Sir Leopold M'Clintock, pre-.
ceded by the Firebrand.

tThis is the expiration of the quinquennium, and.
thenw Assembly
of March. The course of strict non-intervention
pursued by the Lord High Commissioner, by in-
structing the Residents in the different islands to
abstain from influencing the votes in the slightest
manner, and by totally abstaining from doing so in
the island of Corfu, has borne its fruit, and the
elections have passed off with unprecedented trap,.
quillity.
The elections are now over. Strange to 50:37, at
Corfu, out of 21 candidates for ten vacant places,
Dandolo—the great and European Dandolo—has
not been returned. The peculiarity of elections
here is the preponderance of men over measures.
Ask any lonian why so and so was elected, what
are his claims to public confidence, and the
answer
is not an exposition of principles, but an explana-
tion of personal qualifications and f • amily connec-
tions. Thus you find that, in
turning conjointly ten members, the section of
successful candidates equally with the section of
unsuccessful candidates embodies representatives
of every shade of lonian political opinion.
The great demagogue-agitator Dandolo finds no
place in the race, while a member of the Govern.
ment, whose five years have been passed in acts
universally denounced by his popular rival, is
almost the first in the return. Moreover, treating
and bribery have found a resting-place side by side
with the ballot, and there are few among the re-
turned who would not fall victims in England to
the merest shade of a petition. As to the constitu-
ency,more than one-half is
unqualified, and the
electoral lists would shrink %Toruny before a de-
cently strict system of revision. The new Assembly
