ARRIVAL AT BIRMINGHAM.

BIRMINGHAM, SUNDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.—Last evening, at
eight o'clock, his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, accompanied by
Major Dickson, Colonel Bonfort, and M. Nubar, interpreter to
the Pacha, arrived here by the express train from London,
in one of the royal carriages generally used by the Queen
Dowager. It being intended, pursuant to previous arrange-
ment, that the visit of the Paths should be strictly private,
neither the mayor, high bailiff, nor any of the local authori-
ties, were in attendance to receive him. Owing, however, to
the announcements in the morning papers, it became known
that he would arrive in the course of the evening, and a con-
siderable number of respectable persons applied for and ob-
tained admission into the station-yard of the Grand
Junction Company, and waited his arrival. The carriage
in which his Highness and attendants were was attached
to the end of the train, and did not reach the ordinary
parapet, so that it was at first thought the Pacha had
not arrived. In a moment or two a rush to the
end of the station took place, and presently his High-
ness alighted from his carriage on the rails, and walked to
the landing, where he was met by Charles Laurence,
Esq., chairman of the Grand Junction Company, and L.
Mozeley, Esq., one of the directors of the same body, and
most cordially received by them. The Pacha shook hands
with these gentlemen, and seemed much pleased at their at-
tention. He then advanced to the parapet, stepped into a
carriage which was waiting his arrival, and drove off with
his attendants to Dee's Royal Hotel, where a splendid set of
apartments, heretofore used by members of the Royal Family,
and lately by the King of Saxony; were in readiness for him.
After partaking of some slight refreshments his Highness
appeared on the balcony of the Hotel, smoking his magnifi-
cently mounted long hooka, and seemingly much pleased
with his journey. He was soon after waited upon by Mr.
George Richmond Collis, Consul to the Pacha's father, and
who communicated the necessary local information to the
distinguished party. At hall-past nine o'clock his Highness
and attendants and Mr. Collis dined, and at an early hour
the Pacha retired to bed. This morning at eight o'clock he
breakfasted, and at twelve he and the whole of the above
party left the hotel for the London and Birmingham station,
where a special engine was in readiness to convey them to
Leamington and Warwick, his Highness having received an
invitation to inspect the magnificent castle in the latter town.
The Pacha and company will return this evening at seven
o'clock to dinner at Dee's, and spend the evening in private.
To-morrow we understand he will inspect some of the works
in the town, and then proceed to the ironworks in the district.
IBRAHIM PACHA AT WARWICK CASTLE.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
His Highness visited Warwick Castle on Sunday, attended
by Major Dickson, Mr. Collis, of Birmingham (Consul to the
Sublime Porte), and suite. He was shown over the castle by
Mr. Alder, and over the magnificent grounds by Mr. Spinks,
the head gardener, after which he partook of luncheon
spread beneath the umbrageous branches of the gigantic
forest trees on the lawn, which luncheon was provided by
Mr. Lake, of the Warwick Arms Hotel. His Highness pre-

an hour, when he left for the London and Birmingham Rail-
way. He arrived soon after one and left about five.

THE GRAND DUKE CONSTAN-

TINE AT PORTSMOUTH.

SUNDAY, Juwx 14.—The grand party at the Admiralty-
house, given by the Gallant Admiral in honour of his illus-
trious visitor, broke up at about half-past one o'clock. His
Royal Highness the Grand Duke danced the first quadrille
with the beautiful Miss Byng, daughter of the Hon. H. D.
Byng, R.N. ; he afterwards danced two other quadrilles, and
retired to his sleeping apartment at twelve o'clock.
His Highness the Grand Duke, Vice Admiral Lulka, Baron
Bender, and Captain Ajensenap, who have all since their
arrival been the guests of the gallant Sir Charles Ogle, .con-
eluded their visit on Saturday, their domestics, trunks, and
luggage being sent off to the Ingermanland. The Grand
Duke and the Vice-Admiral will, however, dine again at the
Admiralty-house on Monday.
On Saturday morning the Grand Duke, with Mr. de Berg
and several officers of the Russian squadron, went over, in
the Admiral's barge, to the Royal Clarence Yard, and pro-
ceeded by the half-past nine train to Southampton, for which
place, to meet the illustrious foreigners, the Lightning had
proceeded.
At eleven his Excellency the Baron de Brunnow, accom-
panied by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Captain Chads, and
Mr. George Morris, went out in the Comet steamer, and pro-
ceeded to Cowes, where the Grand Duke and party joined
in:the Lightning. At half-past five, the Lightning, with Sir
Charles Ogle and several Russian officers on board, returned
into Portsmouth, leaving his Royal Highness the Grand
Duke, Vice-Admiral Lulka, and several officers to make a
tour of the island, visiting Carisbrook, Appuldurcomb, and
Ventnor, sleeping at the latter place, and returning by Ryde
on Sunday (this morning) to the Ingermanland,
The Grand Duke has declined the invitation of the
" naval officers in commission" to dine on board the Victory
on Monday next. He and Admiral Lulka will honour S
Charles Ogle with their company on that day; but the cap-
tains of the ships forming the Russian squadron, and a
number of officers, will dine on board the Victory, where a
large party is expected, Captain Pasco and Captain Chads
presiding. _ _

On Tuesday the squadron will, it is said, sail for Cron-
stadt, where the presence of the Grand Duke is required at
the marriage of his sister, the Grand Duchess Olga.
_ _

We understand that his Royal Highness the Z..irand Duke
has been highly delighted with his visit to the gallant admi-
ral, Sir Charles Ogle, and that he has expressed himself
much pleased with the attention and courtesy with which
he has been treated by the officials and every person with
whom he has come in contact. He has seen everything in
this superb arsenal, and has frequently taken excursions on
horse, visiting Nelson's monument, on Pertsdown Hill, and
other places.

During the time his Highness has been staying at Ports-
mouth it has been thought necessary to have two officers
and three men belonging to the London detective police
force down, who, dressed in plain clothes, have, have been
continually on duty when his Highness was moving about.
We conclude this precaution was taken in consequence of the
residence of some few Poles in this ioeslity. - We think this
precaution was totally unnecessary, more especially as the
Uraud Duke had a sort of body guard in his domestics, and
the Poles residing here are a quiet and most respectable set
of people.

ARRIVAL OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE

AT COWES.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
On Friday, at noon, the Duke and suite, :attended by Sir
Charles Ogle, disembarked from her Majesty's steam-yacht
Lightning at Mead Hole, and proceeded from thence to Os-
borne House, after inspecting which they, in the yacht,
steamed to the Needles, and returned to Portsmouth.
On Saturday the Duke proceeded by rail to Southampton,
and embarked from thence on board the Lightning, steamed
to Cowes, being joined by Sir Charles Ogle in H.M.S. Comet.
The party landed at the R.Y.S. House under a royal salute
from the battery. From thence they proceeded in the Ad-
miralty barge to East Cowes, and inspected the new yacht
built for the Emperer, returned to the Fountain Wharf,
where carriages were waiting to convey the Grand Duke,
Baron Brunnow, and suite to Appuldurcomb and Ventnor, J.
H. M. Struben, Esq., the Russian Consul at this port, making
one of the party.
To-day they proceed by Bonchurch and Shanklin to Ryde.

BRUSSELS AND FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 11.—The sitting of the Chamber of Re
presentatives to-day, which was fixed for twelve o'clock,
did not open till a quarter past one, and, contrary to the re-
gulation, it opened before the Chamber was complete, there
being only forty-seven Members present.
The general debate on the project of law relative to the
sugars was resumed. Several members spoke on the degree
of protection to be given to each branch of the manufac-
tures.

The Senate concluded the discussion of the articles of the
Budget of the department of the interior, which were una-
nimously agreed to. It then opened and closed the general
debate on the supplementary votes of credit for the depart-
ments of foreign affairs, finances, and war. The•
assembly then discussed the project of law, concerning the
canal of Deynze to Schipdonck, which was agreed to by a
majority of twenty to seven.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 12.—The Senate discussed the project of
law relative to the Luxembourg railways, which was agreed
to by twenty-five to two. The assembly then adopted the
supplementary vote of credit for the department of finance,
and that for the war department of 1846.
The Chamber of Representatives continued the debate on
the sugar question. The project of law was very severely
criticised by several Members.
Great preparations are making for the fetes on the 15th of
June, for the opening of the Belgian and French Railway.
Three hundred and fifty persons will be at the dinner, which
will be on the most splendid scale. Every measure of pre-
caution is taken to prevent accidents to the company that
attend the ball. Dubos, who undertakes to provide both the
dinner and the supper, not content with exhausting Brussels,
has dispatched an express to London to purchase 1,200
lobsters and the finest salmon that can be procured in the
British capital. Velloni provides 15,000 ice creams; and
Marshal Moreau Miden and Betsh furnish 10,000 patties.
The celebration of the sixth jubilee of the Fête Dieu (Cor-
pus Christi) commenced on the 10th of this month at Liege,
and the ceremonies will be very imposing. A great number
of bishops will be present.
In addition to these fetes, which make. Belgium all alive,
preparations are making at Bruges for the inauguration of
the statue of Simon Stevin. The King and Queen are ex-
pected at Brussels to-morrow evening between nine and ten
o'clock.
