URAND REVIEW AT WOOLWICH
BY PRINCE ALBERT.

Yesterday the town of Woolwich was honoured by a
visit of his Ro‘al Highness Prince Albert, accompanied
11 the Prince Ernest of -Saxe Coburg and Gotha. His
Royal Highness arrived at ten o'clock in the morning at
the Royal Arsenal, and was attended by the Prince Ernest
and Sir Hu,sey Vivian, the Master-General of the Oe.i-
nance. A second carriage, containing some members of
his suite, followed, end the usual number of outriders
accompanied the Royal carriages. Upon the arrival
of the distinguished party at the gates of the Royal
Arsenal the Union lick was lowered, and the Royal
standard hoisted amidst a general salute. Lord Bloom
field, the commandant of the garrison, Brigade-Major
Cubbage, Assistant Adjutant-General Colonel Joees,
Colonel Harding, Colonel Cleveland, and the ether
staff officers of tho garrison, received the Royal party,
which proceeded to inspect the foundry and boring-house,
the laboratory, the machinerl of the carriage department,
the storehouses, and other parts of the building, which
his Royal Highness was pleased to speak in high terms of
approbation. His Royal Highness then passed out of the
e'stern gate of the arsenal on to the practice ground on
the marshes, where there were three field batteries, and
two troops of the Horse Artillery, with one rocket
troop, under the direction of Major Swecting. A range
party, consisting of eighteen gunners, with a captai❑ and
two non-commissioned officers, fired the batteries in the
usual excellent style for which this corps lass so distin-
guished itself.

His Royal Highness then proceeded to the barracks of
the Royal Artillery, where the battalions were already pa-
rading in front, and received the Royal party with a general
salute, and broke into open column, the magnificent band
playing the most popular and scientific airs.
It being now half-past one o'clock, his Royal High-
nest, with Prince Ernest, the Master-General of the
o:elnancea Lord Bloomfield, the .11sigade,41494 had.
Colonel Wylde, who, it should be stated, attended
as Equerry to Prince Albert throughout the day,
adjourned to the military mess-room and partook of
a d(jeune. During the iirne the band continued play-
ing on the rrade, and shortly before three o'clock,
his Royal Highntes, in the undress of a Field Mar-
shal, with Prince Ernest, attired as a cavalry officer, pro-
ceaded with the garrison staff to the park of Artillery,
where howitzer and mortar practice was performed, a flag-
stick being placed at a distance of 830 yards, and a re-
duced charge being used with admirable precision. This
was necessary. in order to avoid accidents in the Dover-
road. The howitzer batteries Were manned a: half-past
three o'clock under Lieut.-Colonel Darby, of the 6th
battalion. Prince Albert and the other distinguished
visitors afterwards inspected the repository, and reviewed
the Horse Artillery on Woolwich-common, under the
command of Colonel Cleveland. His Royal Highness
and Prince Ernest, at four o'clock, visited the Royal
Academy of Cadets, and about five o'clock departed in his
carriage for town under a general salute. •
'I he Artillery did not receive orders of, the intended
visit until a late hour on Sunday, and in consequence of
the review being but little known there was only a small,
although a very fashionhble, attendance to witness the im-
posing spectacle.
His Royal Highness and the Prince Ernest both looked
extremely well, and at intervals received the warm congra-
tulations of those assembled, which they acknowledged in
an amiable and flattering manner.
The practice in the marshes was carried on by the fie'd
batteries with round shot and shrapnel shells. There were
also small rockets at the usual range, and in addition some
121 b. rockets. The officers on duty in the Artillery park
were Captains Eyre, Anderson, and Rowland; Lieutenants
Bingham, M'Cuy, Caller, and Crawford. Lieutenant
Cheetham superintended the range, and at the Military
Repository Captains Schah, Burroughs, end Sbaw, with
Lieutenants Montresor, Broughton, and Bclfour, took an
active part. Lieutenant-Colonel King, Adjutant of the
Ist battalion, directed the exercise at the Repository;
Captain Sawyer kept the barrack-field, and Adjutants
Femor and Griffiths the common.

COLLEGE for CIVIL ENGINEERS,
GORDON-HOUSE, KENTISH TOWN.

Yesterday this college was publicly opened, and was
honoured on the occasion by a numerous attendance of
Nobility and Gentry, amongst whom were the Dukes of
Buccleuch, Richmond, and St. Alban's ; the Earl of
Devon. Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., the Lord Mcyor and
Sheriffs, Colonel Landiman, Lieutenant Colonel Angelo,
Sir George Stephen, Sir Lucius Curtis, the Rev. Drs.
Hawtry, Driscoll, and Ifill, Dr. Andrews, end most of the
neighbouring clergy.
The company were received at the gate by Major Hut-
chinson, the Resident-Director, and Mr. J. E. B. Curtis,
the Secretary, and conducted over the dormitories and
other buildings of the college, accompanied by the several
Professors, and afterwards attended divine service at
Kentish-town chapel, where a sermon was preached by the
Rev. J. B. Page, the Chaplain, and Professor of History
to the college.
On their return from the chapel the company assembled
in the great lecture-room of the College, surrounded by the
theatres belonging to the schools for chemistry, drawing,
and mathematics, aed which were built under the superin-
tendence of Mr. Winsland, of Duke-street, in the short
space of fourteen days only. .
The Duke of Beeenneex, having taken the chair, said
that in this country it was wonderful, distinguished as it
was for science, that no college fur teaching the art of civil
engineering had been before established. Oiler countries
had their schools; and though in some of our public schools
there were to be found classes for tuition in this branch of
science, and a great deal of teaching was privately commu-
nicated, there was nothing on the enlarged scale which
the projectors of this college hoped they would be enabled
to carry out.—(Loud cheers.) To Mr. H-nry Bawtry the
thanks of the country were especially due, for his exertions
in establishing and bringing about this project.—( Hear,
hear.) The organization of the college had been a work
of long and anxious deliberation and care with the coun-
cil, and he bad the happiness to say that it was placed
under the immediate superintendence of a gentleman
not less qualified by his scientific abilities than for
those domestic virtues without which the greatest at-
tainments would be useless.—( Loud and continued cheer-
ing.) The professors bad been selected with the
greatest care, and in no public institution could
brighter names be found. It was grLtfying to see the
support conferred upon the college, and it was especially
pleasing that its opening should be honoured by the pre-
sence of the Chief Magistrate and Sheriffs of London.—
( Loud cheers.) There was no institution where any pub-
lic benefit could arise, or the interests of the metropolis
were to be advanced, where the heads of the Corporation
were not to be seen. The pupils would consist of gentle-
men's sons, and would always be treated with kindness and
respect, and he (the Noble Duke) indulged a hope that
no person connected with that college now or hereafter
would ever have reason to regret its institution. As the
President of the College he bad only to &clana that it
was now opened.

The Duke of RICHMOND said it became his duty as the
Chairman of the Council to call the attention of the meet-
ing, and more particularly of the protestors and students.
to the rules and regulations agreed upon by the Council
for the management of the college. They did not seek to
rival any other establishment; they only wished to be
permitted to share with others in doing good. In the
age they lived in they could not do better than improve
the education of all classes, and the education that would
be given in that institution would be based, and most
properly based, on religion, for without religion educe-
tion was of no use.—(Great cheering.) He (the
Noble Duke) would say a few words to the professors and
pupils. The professors were selected for their high cha-
racters. and it was only necessary for him to remind them
that kindness and decision wero the best means of manag-
ing mankind.—( Loud cheers.) To the students he would
say, exert yourselves—avail yourselves of the opportunity
of, learning, and of being enabled to enter into the noble
profession of civil engineering. If they felt grateful to
those who had enabled them to partake of these advan-
tages, the best way to show their gratitude would be to
remember the precepts and principles instilled into their
minds, and to exhibit their effects in their after conduct
through life.—(Loud cheers.) It was not enough f..r
them to be men of science—they must be men of science
and men of honour. They must learn to withstand the
temptations of this world, which they could only do by
looking up to their great Creator, who would make them
happy in this world and in the world to come.—( Re-
newed cheers.) They had his (the Noble Duke's) best
hopes for their success, and when he knew the high cha-
racter of the members of the Council, he had no doubt
that the rules and regulations they had framed would tend
much to promote their happiness, and he trusted that this
time next year they would not only be enabled to pass a
respectable examination, but that their conduct in the
meanwhile would exhibit no departure from moral recti-
tude.—( Loud cheers.)
The Earl of DEVON, as Deputy. Chairman of the Coun-
cil, would avail himself of the opportunity of expressing
his hopes for the welfare of an establishment calculated to
send forth into the world men who would receive the very
best education that could possibly be given. He hoped
that every place in the empire would avail itself of the
benefits of that institution.
BERKLEY WESTROPP, Esq , and the Right Honourable
the Loan MAYOR, then shortly moved and seconded a vote
of thanks to the Noble President and Vice-Presidents, and
to the council of administration.
Both the Noble Dukes, in returning thanks, expressed
their conviction that, placed in the distinguished situation
to which it had pleased God to call them, they best dis.

benefit of their apprentices, took place at Mr. Hinton's, the
Highbory Barn Tavern. The boys, 205 in number, sat down
to a dinner of good old English fare. After dinner they were

RIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAT.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
The contrast between the foreign policy of the Whigs
and their Tory predecessors is sufficiently galling to ac-
count for those ebullitions of vulgar and scurrilous abuse
which burst from the organs of the baffled faction, when-
ever intelligence is received of a fresh instance in which
the national honour has been promptly vindicated, and the
national interests firmly, temperately, and successfully up-
held. This alone cen account for such an incoherent
rhapsody of low invective, pointless abuse, ridiculous mis-
staments, and open, unabashed exultation at the pros-
pect of imaginary disasters, as appeared on Saturday in the
columns of the Times. Bra curious coincidence, at the very
time when the Tory journalist was exhausting his choicest vo-
cabulary of Billingsgate !thing against Lord po Ftqtqn, for
having taken prompt and efficacious steps to bring the 'ea:
pricious despot of Naples to his senses, the Tory leader in
the House of Peers was repeating his memorable declara-
tion of March last, " that the proper way of negotiating
was to send a squadron of men of war from Malta to
Sicily." As in the case of China, so long as there was a
possibility of making the nation believe that Ministers were
slumbering at their posts, the voice of the Tory organs was
all for war. Non, when it has become apparent that the
forbearance, which they imputed to pusillanimity, is more
satin to the honourable moderation which, conscious of the
possession both of might and right, shuns rather than seeks
a quarrel with an inferior power, the tone of the assailants
of Government is changed, and a long train of imaginary
disgraces and calamities is conjured up.
(From the Morning Herald.)
The Irish Municipal Corporation Bill was, last night,
read a second time in the House of Lords. Lord Mel-
bourne introduced it to their Lordships' notice in a feeble
speech—a speech in which his Lordship disowned, as far
as he safely might, all community of sentiment with Daniel
O'Connell. " I have never," observed the Premier, " held
the opinion that the evils of Ireland arise from her connec-
tion with England. I have never held the opinion that Ire.
land would gain anything by becoming an independent
country; and even if I had ever held such opinions,
I eheuld deem it exceedingly unwise to employ the lan-
guage which is so frequently held on those questions."
Yes : Lord Melbourne may not hold the opinions to which
he adverts ; and Lord Melbourne may not employ the lan-
guage of the Irish Repeal party 1 But Lord Melbourne is
content to reap all the advantage which may accrue, in a
party sense, from the most violent language—from The
wildest opinions—in regard to a repeal of the Union,
and to "Justice to Ireland." Lord Melbourne is not
himself a Repealer—but he is banded with Rcpealers.
(From the Morning Post.)
Although the Ministerialists are never weary of abusing
the Tories, yet we find them not only ready but most eager'
to vouch Tory counsel in defence of anything et hich they
suppose Tories to have at any time approved. If they
can but say that some leading Tory Lord or Commoner
advised or recommended a similar step to that which
Government has taken, they seem to hold that as an
all-sufficient defence. Nothing for them like Tory
help. The smallest contributions arc most thankfully re-
ceived. It happens that our Foreign Minister has con-
trived to get several national quarrels, or something
very like quarrels, upon his hands all at cnce. Ile
begins to make warlike demonstrations in sundry quartos,
and the moment a Tory doubt is started of the good sense,
or expediency, or good management in these things, up
jumps a Ministerialist to say that the Tories were always
advising demonstrations of national strength, and had been
in the habit of finding fault with the Whigs for holding
back too long. Now this is not untrue, although Minis-
terialists say it ; but this establishes no inconsistency
against the Tories. Our complaint is, that Ministers have
brought matters to a state which renders war almost in-
evitable, by holding back our strength.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

MONDAY EVENING.

POST.—A very extensive business was done in Shbrzs
again to-day, to the _almost total neglect of the public
funds in both markets. Money continues exceedingly
abundant, however, and it is hardly possible, therefore,
but that the latter should hare vxperienced some improve-
ment in value.

London and Rrighton Railway Shares were last quoted
6 to 51 dis. ; London and Blackwall to 2 prem. ;
London and Southampton 133 to 14 prem. ; Great West-
ern 24 to 25 prem. ; London and Croydon 4 to 34- dis. ;
Manchester and Leeds 12 to 13 prem. ; North Midland 8
to 83- prem. ; Eastern counties, 9 to 83- dis. ; and South
Eastern and Dover 54 to 5i per share. United Mexican
Mine were done at 3to 3s per share. The speculators in
this market seem to have lost their reason. Tnay go into
purchases without the smallest regard to the probable con-
sequences, for if the results of similar movements on for-
mer occasions arc at all to be depended upon as an ex-
ample, there can be no doubt that many of them must
suffer severely for their folly. A few days ago nothing in
the shape of a railway shore was so much as looked at,
and now all at once there is a scramble to see who shall
get the most. A reaction, and that a very ruinous one, at
no distant period is inevitable.

The Corn trade was in the ascendant to-day. The
scarcity of grain in Franca has contributed to the greater
firmness of the market, and we regret it, as the exporta-
tier, of gold will, almost to a certainty, be carried on upon
an increased scale. In the Tea trade also there was more
animation, °wino° certain vague rumours which have
been in circulation respecting the English merchant ships,
Thomas Courts and Royal Saxon. The same reports
were afloat on Saturday, and if we gave little credence to
them then, we give still less now, as, if there had been any
truth in them, we should most likely have known
by this time by what conveyance the news was re-
ceived. The two vessels are said to have been
seized by the Chinese authorities and blown up. The
Commanders of the Thomas Coutts and the Royal
Saxon had fully complied with the conditions pub.
lished by Commissioner Lin for the regulation of
foreign shipping entering the port of Canton, and that the
Chinese should have been guilty of the act of treachery
imputed to them is quite incredible. The report gccs on
to say, that, having heard of the damage done to the fleet
of war junks by the Hyacinth and Volage, the Emperor
had given orders to take vengeance on the crews of the
two vessels above referred to. If the East India Company
had received any information from China on Saturday, as
has been affirmed, it is certain, we think, that the particu-
lars would have transpired before now.
The statement has, we suspect, been put forth for no
other purpose than that of producing an affect on the tea
market ; and, if so, the expedient seems to have succeeded
to a certain extent. The rise to-day was, we believe, iid.
per pound.

SUN.—Up to this hour not the slightest clue has been
discovered to the painful, and, if unfounded, disgraceful,
rumour in circulation early in the day respecting the
firing of the Thomas Coutts and Royal Saxon rear-
chant vessel, by the Chinese, and the murder of several
of the crew. What pleasure is to be derived by the
circulation of such statements as these we are at a loss
to discover, nor can we imagine who are the parties who
concoct them. Certain it is that, like a hall, when
once set in motion, they roll about the City in the most
respectable quarters.
The overland mail is expected with much anxiety,
and will most likely reach us this week. It will, how-
ever, be too early to ascertain what effect the declara-
tion of war may have bad on the Celestial authorities.
Tea was rather higher on 'Change this afternoon.

having risen to 91, and for the Account to 91h- 14,
Exchequer Bills were worth 255. to 275. premium, and
East India Bonds 4s. to 6s. premium ; Bank Stock was

The new; of the grand defeat of the Carlists had
no effect upon Spanish Stock, which was rather heavy

Dutch Two and Two-and-P.-Half per Cents, impoved

The Railiray Shares were all in great demand, and
at very high prices. We foretel an awful crash in these
investmenls before long, owing to tha headlong specu-
lation in 1)1 ogress.
