Princes, William and Alexander, arrived at Mivart's Hotel,
Lower Brook-street, yesto day, at two P. at., from Rotterdam.
The Prince, on landing at the Tower-stairs, from the Batavier
steamer, was received with military honours ; a battalion of
Grenadier Guards was drawn out to receive him, and he was
conveyed from the steam-vessel in the Government State
barge. The Hon. Counts Limburg and Stirum, General
Backler, and two or three other Officers of rank, acting as
Aides-dc-Camp, form bit Royal Hizhness's suite. The Duke
of Wellington, under whom the Prince served at Waterloo,
had an interview with the Prince shortly after his arrival ; and
the Duke of Beaufort and Earl Howe also called to pay their
respects to the Royal visitor. One of the King's carriages,
with attendants, teas in waiting during the morning to convey
their Royal Highnesses to the Drawing Room, where they
proceeded, attended by his Excellency the Chevalier Dedcl.

GAVELKTND.—A public meeting on this subject
will be held in Canterbury to day. .
At the end of an abridged edition of. La Roneicre's
trial, published at Brussels, is a short laudatory notice of Ge-
neral La Ronciere, the father of the prisoner, apparently copied
from some Mena newspaper. Among other praiseworthy
action;, the following is recorded :—General 14,1 Itoociiire had
been for a short time Commander of the Cavalry Model iSchuoi
at St. Germain, when he bearil that two tcholars, fifteen years
of age, had just had a dispute, and that one of them had re-
ceived a box on the ear. Ile scat for them, and said, " Gentle-
men, you have had an angry quarrel ; one of y-u has .even re-
ceived a blow. You will be one day olii,!ers ; but you would
be unworthy to bar an epaulette if you did not settle this af-
btloicarPtailave "Y
fair wi h arms. You will each take a pistol, place yourselves
at fifteen paces, and et each miss you will advance a step."
At the eighth fire the two youths had each a ball in the belly !

An unfortunate accident happened on Saturday night
last, at the Brunswick Steam Wharf, at Blackwall, to two
serraati belonging to the establishment- of the Duke and
Duchess of Buceleuch. They were about to embark on
bound to Leith, and were crossing
:,,IBJ(l):lctli'clBttew"artsl-vsehric:insecurely fastened, when it slipped
with them. Both were instantly precipitated
‘rnitclo l"the river, between the v'harf and the vessel, and although
imme,liata assktance was rendered, one of theta met with a
watery grave. Tire other young woman, who, we understand,
filled ihe situation of nursery maid, and was cousin to the de-
cease.% was taken out of the water . alive, but in a very ex-
hausted state. She was removed to a neighbouring tavern,
and r•: cry attention paid her. She has been ever since con-
fined t -:, her bed, and wan distracted on hearing that her cousin
and fe:low-servant. was lost. The body of the deceased has
notyerbeen found.

TILEGIITI\GALE.—ithappens .but rarely that
;ve (thus far North) are favoured with the melody of this en-
chipliing sylvan minstrel even in our most genial summer
mouths, and we were in consequence both astonished and
deligl-.ted at hearing one in full song at midnight, near the
High Tur at Matlock on Thursday last. The bird was dis-
tine v heard by ten or a dozen persons, and it is a singular
fact that a smartish shower of snow was falling at the time.—
