THE CONDE DE MONTEMOLIN AT PORTSMOUTH.
—On Wednesday the Conde de Montemolin, accom-
panied by Colonel Campbell and his personal suite, came
into Portsmouth from Northend, soon after breakfast,
and were joined by the Lieutenant Governor Lord
Frederick Fitzclarence and staff, at Colwest Barracks,
and were received by the 42d Highlanders, drawn, out
in the barrack-square, in their national costume. His
Royal Highness expressed himself highly delighted with
their appearance, and minutely inspected them drawn
up in line. The Commander in-Chief having again
placed the barge of the Victory at the disposition of the
Conde, he and his suite and Colonel Campbell, accom-
panied as they were yesterday, by Captain Pasco, of
that ship, embarked at the Victoria Pier, and proceeded
to the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment. On
landing at the steps the Conde was received by the
Captain Superintendent, Sir Ed ward Parry, and the
principal officers, and the party were conducted over the
mill and baker), and minutely inspected the process of
grinding wheat, dressing the flour, and baking the bis-
cuit. At one P.M. the party returned to the George
Hotel, and at three o'clock the 43d Light Infantry, under
Colonel Furlong, were marched out on Soutbsea Com-
mon, and the Conde de Niontemulin and Lord Fitz •
clarence and staff, on horn back, and the suite on foot,
proceeded to inspect this fine corps, who received the
Conde and General on the ground with a general salute.
The regiment afterwards marched past in slow, quick,
and double quick time, and then went through a variety
of light infantry manoeuvres, with which the Prince ap-
peared highly delighted, and expressed himself asto-
nished at the apparent discipline and organisation of the
regiment. The Commander-in-Chief gave the Prince
and suite an invitation to his grand dinner and ball. for

DEATH Or
JouN BLANE.—Died at Kilmarneck,
on the 13th instant, Mr. John Blanc, formerly coach-
driver, in the 85th year of his ego. By the demise of
Mr. Blane another of those links which connect the poet
Burns with the present generation is removed. During
the period Burns held the farm of Moesgiel deceased was
in his service, and, we believe, firAt acted his gadsman,
and afterwards " essayed the handing of the plough" on
the ground made memorable by the turning up, by the
ruthless ploughshare, of the mouse's nest, and of the
" wee modest crimson-tipped flower." Deceased
frequently accompanied Burns in his visits to the
" Mauchline Belles;" and several anecdotes regarding the
great bard have, it is feared, been lost for want of a
chronicler. With one exception, there is now none in
Kilmarnock who were personally acquainted with Burns.

FOREIGN SUPPLIES.—The arrivals of grain, cattle,
and provisions, at the cammencement of the week,
from, the continent, were consgesable. Every privilege
that it is possible to concede, in order to land their pro-
vision from the importing vessels, and bring them into
consumption without the least delay, is granted by the
revenue authorities. As yesterday was a general holi-
day, and business was suspended, especial permission.
was, at the request of the parties interested and con-
cerned, granted for the requisite attendance of a portion
of the officers of the revenue, in order to prevent incon-
venience and facilitate the admission of these articles of
food.
