THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1 69.

noYALTY ABROAD.

The members of the present Royal Family seem to no
determined to see the world. The Prince of Wales
is in Turkey, Prince Alfred is in Australia, and
Prince Arthur is in Ireland. To begin with the
eldest, the reception of the Prince of Wales and
his wife by the Sultan seems to have rather startled some
of our contemporaries. Only in the " Arabian Nights"
(says the Times) could a parallel be found for the descrip-
tion of the reception. All the scenes of Asiatic imagery
are here reproduced. Splendid palaces, glittering retinues,
brilliant jewels, ravishing music, exquisite repasts, and
obsequious slaves—all placed with Oriental hospitality at
the command of the visitor—form the familiar figures of
the narrative. The strangers clap their hands, and swarthy
attendants appear with trays of gold and silver plate, rich
fruits, dazzling gyms, and dainty sweetmeats. Abroad an
ever-ready cavalcade of plaids, carriages for the streets,
and caiquee for the stream bespeak the solicitude of the
Imperial host. But all these magnificent attentions sink
into nothing compared with the compliments offered by
the Sultan hin,self. Ln honour of his royal visitors, the
Commam7er of the Faithful gave a dinner and went to a
ball. If that seeing Lut a small matter, let the reader
understand that no dinner was ever given at the Turkish
Court before. The Emperor of the Ottomans broke
through the traditional etiquette of the Sublime
Porte for the sake of his illustrious guests, and
stepped boldly out of the circle to which the ceremonial
of his rank had confined him. But though these incidents
may be the most interesting, they are not the most
instructive parts of the story. A change has come over
the Turks and their capital. With just enough of the old
Asiatic fashions to give picturesqueness to the scene, there
were mingled very evident signs of innovation and
progress. The Turkish infantry carry breech-loading
rifles ; the artillery have Armstrong guns ; heavy iron-
clads are afloat in the Bosphorus; and it is said that the
Sultan could put 800,000 men in the field. Constanti-
nople has become a well-managed city. The gas service
is good, the water supply abundant, the police force
well organised. The relics of the Byzantine Empire have
well-nigh disappeared, the ancient walls of the city are
marked for destruction, and it is only within the precincts
of the old Imperial Palace that monuments of the past
are still standing.
The Duke of Edinburgh seemed as popular in his second
as in his first visit to Australia. The South Australian
Advertiser thus describes the visit to the colony :—" On
Monday, February 15, Adelaide was subjected to a double
excitement through the arrival of the Galatea with his
Royal highness the Duke of Edinburgh, and the mail
steamer with Sir James Fergusson, the new
Governor. Sir James and Lady Edith Fergusson
had taken their passages for Melbourne, but came

direct to Adelaide on hearing that the Duke was
on his way from Perth. The Galatea anchored off
the Semaphore, and his Royal Highness, in excellent
health and spirits, was brought to Adelaide in Colonel
Hamley's, the then acting governor's, carriage. On his
arrival he was received with hearty cheers from the crowds
that bad assembled at Government House gate. On the
same evening the Duke attended at the Theatre Royal to
witness the performance of "Caste," Sir James Fergus-
son and Lady Edith, Colonel and Mrs. Hamley were present.
It was the opening night of the season, and the reception
given to his Royal Highness and the new governor was
most enthusiastic. On Tuesday morning the Prince was
present at the Town Hall to witness the swearing in of
Sir James Fergusson. On Wednesday evening the Duke
honoured with his presence the colonist's ball. There
were from 500 to 600 present, and the ball was a very success-
ful one. On Thursdaymorning his Royal Highness laid the
first stone of the Sailors' Home. In the evening he dined
at the Adelaide Club, and subsequently met several hun-
dred guests at a party given at Government House.
On Friday the Duke drove to the Old Adelaide Race-
course, on the East-park Lands, where special races
had been got up in honour of his_ visit. The day
had been proclaimed a public holiday, and there were
not less than 8,000 or 9,000 people present. Shortly after
5 o'clock the Prime° left the ground admidst a perfect
hurricane of cheering, as a farewell. Without delay he
proceeded by special train to the port, and boarded the
Galatea. Early on Saturday morn'ng the vessel steamed
away. During the whole of the Duke's stay the injunc-
tions of the Colonial Secretary, that there should be no
public demonstrations, were scrupulously adhered to.
It must have been with no little misgiving that Prince
Arthur was sent to the south of Ireland. The enthusiastic
reception given to the Prince in the south has proved a
most agreeable surprise. his Royal Highness has been
amply rewarded for the confidence which he reposed in
the generous feeling of the people. They have welcomed
him with heartiness as the first pledge of their sovereign's
personal interest in this country, and with the hope that
his visit will be followed at no distant day by one from
the Queen herself. The name of the Patron
Saint has exercised an irresistible charm. The
people of Tipperary at once boldly detached it
from the others, acknowledging his Royal Highness only
as Prince Patrick. The only demonstrations of disloyalty
which have at all marred the enjo3 went of the Prirce
have proceeded from the weather, which did its utmost
On Thursday to play into the Lauds of the Fenians. It
had been arranged that deputations should proceed to
Thomastown Castle to present addresses of welcome to
his Royal II ighne:s from the local bodies. 'the elements
poured a destructive torrent upon the pr.( parations. But
rain is not an unusual visitor in these pars, and however
fierce an aspect the climate may assume, it does not easily
frighten the " boys," who know its ways and how to manage

it. Deputations from the Tipperary Poor-law Union
and Town Commissioners had resolved to pay their res-
pects to the Prince, and they set about fulfilling their
purpose without being very much concerned, by the state
of the atmosphere. At 12 o'clock a train of vehicles more
remarkable for their utility than their elegance arrived in
front of the Castle. The Count de Jarnac gave their
occupants a most courteous and hearty reception when
the first deputation alighted, and conducted them to the
drawing-room, where the Prince, the Countess de Jarnac
and her daughter, together with Colonel Elphinstone and
Mr. Pickard, were in waiting to receive them. His Royal
Highness had displayed on his breast the badge of the
Order of St. Patrick. Then came the presentation of ad-
dresses couched in the usual style, and receiving verymuch
like the usual reply. During the presentation the weather
moderated a little, and the Prince, having encased him-
self in a grey overcoat of Waterford frieze, expressed his
willingness to brave any possible return of its inclemency,
and keep an appointment which had been made for a visit
to Cashel. H s pn of the native costume en-
deared him still more to t' e lcd representatives of
Tipp _Tary. They hailed tLe Prince in his gray frieze coat
as indeed a coma' ynrsn. Here was a visible embodiment
of national sympathy more expressive than a dozen
speeches. Their loyal patriotism received a fresh impulse,
and they determined to give utterance to their feelings.
The first idea was to draw up in line in the hall and give
it to him as he passed out. Fortunately for the nerves
of the inmates of the Castle, they thought it better to
await the Prince outside and give it in the open air.
The Prince, who was unconscious of the great honour
reserved for him, soon appeared in front, and was greeted
with a variety of startling ejaculations. A chariot was in
waiting to convey his Royal Highness to Cashel, and as
he started off the baud of the Tipperary Militia played
the National Anthem.
There was then another address from the Cashel municipal
authorities. "The inhabitants," said the document,
"respectfully accord you a hearty welcome to our city
and to St. Patrick's Rock, delighted to see Prince Patrick
tread the hallowed soil on which the patient Unghus
bled, and joyful to recognise the interest in our country
which induced you to visit the venerable monuments of
our ancient grandeur, to view the royal residence of the
Kings of Munster in the olden time, to admire the body
of Comae's stone-roofed shrine, and to scan the form
and proportions of the tower reared by our ancestors in
past ages." After replying, of course, in suitable terms,
the Prince went to do what he had been invited to do.
The Rock of Cashel was examined, the cathedral visited,
and the shrine of Cormac admired. Then came some
races, to which a stop was put, however, by the rain. At
night a grand ball was given at Thomastown Castle in
honour of the Prince's visit. It was attended by a select
assemblage of the gentry. His Royal Highness left the
Castle the next day for Cahir, en route for Lismore.

A story is told of a man who inEured in London
one thousand cigars, valued at £4), againa fire and water.
After the lapse of six months he made his appearance at
the insurance office and demanded his money, as the cigars
had been burned. " But not on board the vessel, sir ?"
said the secretary, " for she is in the dock now." " Yes,
on board the vessel. I smoked them, and therefore
burned them all myself, and the insurance says ' against
fire.' " The secretary was taken aback, but told the
smoker to call again next day. He called at the appointed
time, but was met by the solicitor of the company, who
told him that if he did not relinquish his claim he
would be prosecuted as one who had knowingly and wil-
fully set fire to goods insured by the company.—Baltt»zore

LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION AT CAMBRIDGE.—
Arrangements have been coin pleted for a Liberal demonstra•
tion, on a large scale, at Cambridge, to celebrate the triumph
of the Liberal party of the late election for the borough. A
grand banquet will be held at the Guildhall, on Wednes-
day, May 5, at which the borough members, Messrs.
Torrens and Fowler, and a number of celebrities will be
present. It is thought that this will be a larger gathering
than on the occasion of any political demonstration within
the borough since the Reform Bill. Advantage will be
taken of the proceedings to present a testimonial to Mr.
Patrick Beales, on his retirement, after a long period of
zealous and active service, from the leaggship of the
Harty.

THE CASE OF " BEIVJAIIIIII7 BIGGS."

At judges' chambers, this morning, before Mr.
Justice Brett, the case of Kirhl v. Higgs
was beard. This was an interpleader sum-
mons by the Sheriff of Middlesex, levied
at Tide End House, Teddington, where
the notorious delinquent Benjamin Higgs
kept a fine establishment. The plaintiff had ob-
tained judgment and levied au execution, but just
before the levy the Guarantee Society entered and
sold a portion of the property, which s.►le was
stopped by the execution creditor, and several
claimants then appeared, and Mr. Hall (Burchell
and Hall) the under-sheriff, then took out :at inter-
pleader summons to know what was to be done with
the property.

Mr. Justice Brett said the Guarantee Society had
no claims. They had sol 1, they s id, to Mr.
Parks, and he now said he was no purchaser.
(Laughter.)
hlis Lordship barred the claims. The Sherif:
will resume the sale for the execution creditor, and
litigation is likely to spring up in this notorious
case.

ARREST OF A BASK M.L.V.I GER.

Mr Samuel Greenaway Finney, of (lice s)ury
Lodge, Elstree, Herts, agel 55, was brought up at
the Mansion House this morning, before the Lord
Mayor, upon a warrant, by S.:rgeant Spittle of
the City Detective Police, charged for thAt he
during the month of December, 1865, iu the
City of London, then being manager of a certain
public company, called the English Joint-Stock
Bank (Limited), unlawfully, and with intent to de-
fraud did make, and conceal in making, divers false
entries, and did insert certain particulars in certain
books of account belonging to the company, with
intent to defraud.

Mr. G. Lewis conducted the prosecution ; Mr.
Straight, the barrister, appeared for the defendant.
Mr. G. Lewis was opening the case when we
went to press.

POLICE IN TELLIG EN CE.-7 his Day.

BRUTAL OUTRAGE r PON A WOMAN.—Daniel Goller, a
young man, was charged with the following brutal assault
upon a woman.

Catherine Reeve, a young woman, ono of whose eps was
closed, Ana who had other contusions, said--Last night, at
twenty minutes to eleven, I was standing outside a public-
house in the King's-road, Chelsea, when the defendant
came up and save me a back-handed slap across the face.
He struck me on the back and took away my breath, and
while I was in that state he knocked two of my teeth out.
He then struck me a,;ain twice in the jaw, and also gave
me other blows. A policeman came, and I then gave him
in charge.
Mr. Selfe Did you give him any provocation ?

Frosecutrix—Not the least of any description.

The young woman then explained that an intimacy had
previously existed between them which had been broken
off shortly before Christmas. She had not seen him before
for three months.

Defendant said she had done him a great injury, which
he resented in the manner described.
Mr. Selfe committed him for two months to hard labour.
