,
which was to provide for the children ofille!.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert displayeS
yesterday a fine manly feeling at the review at Woolwich,
caused him to be loudly and enthusiastically cheered. Duriot
the evolution of dismounting previous to firing the pas in itha
tery, a gunner jumped off the limber before the instant of ,
word " halt," and was precipitated to the ground with ,
tiolence, and the wheel passed obliquely across the, arm, lag;
was generally believed to have been torn from the 'body ;
happily it proved only a slight graze, and the poor fellow instant',
in'
ly resumed his duty. The Prince observed the accident, a •
immediately galloped towards the spot, and most anxiously .
quired of the man if he had sustained any serieus injury. Yn
his Royal Highness being informed to thecontrary, he expressed
great satisfaction, and complimented the man on his zeal and his:
fortunate escape, at the same time giving some orders to one :11
his staff, which, no doubt, pertained to the affair. His 11°Y
Highness and his brother viewed with amazement the astonislte:'
ing rapidity with which the guns *ere unlimbered, the mega it
rest, relimbered, loaded, and brought into action, being all done
in the almost incredible time of one minute. The illu itrious•
Prince remarked to his brother, the Hereditary Prince of GrAba'
" An Englishman can be taught anything, and he is the
ration of the world." A very general feeling of disay.tpoio;. '
ment has been expressed by Woolwich and its vicinity, as we,
as the proprietors of the steam-boat companies, at time secrecy
of the Prince's visit, it not having been known even to the gar"
rison, until late the preceding evening. • •
