PRUSSIA.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, brother
of the King, and heir apparent to the Crown, arrived
in London this morning, via Hamburgh, and alighted
at the hotel of the Prussian Legation at Carlton-
terrace.

His Royal Highness arrived here with a confi-
dential mission from his Royal brother to her
Majesty the Queen.
We are happy to be authorised to state that his
Royal Highness was not (as some accounts had
intimated) in any way connected with the fatal
misunderstanding which caused the conflict be-
tween the Guards and the people of Berlin
on the afternoon of Saturday, the 18th. In
consequence of the regulations made by the late
King, in 1838, providing against occurrences of
such nature, his Royal Highness had on that occa-
sion no commands to give to the troops, and gave

none.

All accounts of any official or personal interference
or collision of the Prince with the people in that
deplorable struggle, or in the popular excitement
which followed it, are devoid of the slightest founda-
tion.—Times.

THE PRINCIPAL CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF
LORDS.—Sir David Dundas, we understand, has re-
ceived his appointment as Principal Clerk of the
House of Lords, and it is probable that the Lord
Chancellor will announce that fact either this or to-
morrow evening from the woolsack. The Learned
Gentleman has resigned the Solicitor-Generalship
and also, we understand, his seat for Sutherlandshire.
The former is to be filled by Mr. John Romilly, and
rumours are afloat that either Sir John Hobhouse or
Mr. Macaulay will be returned for the latter.
THE NEW SOLICITOR. GENERAL. Mr. John
Romilly, the eminent Chancery barrister, and the son of
the late lamented Sir Samuel Romilly, is, as we pre-
dicted in the early part of last week, appointed her
Majesty's Solicitor-General. The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman received his appointment on Saturday even-
ing. A new writ will be moved for this evening in the
House of Commons for Devonport, which place the
Learned Gentleman represents, and no doubt exists that
he will be again returned for that place without the least
opposition. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, we
understand, leaves town to night to pay his respects to
the electors of Devonport.

seilles and Trieste routes home, having learnt in Egypt
the state of political affairs on the continent, abandoned
that intention, and embarked in the Ripon at Alexan-
