JOURNEY OF THE PRINCE AND
PRINCESS OF WALES.
ITALY.

BOLOGNA, May 3.

The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived at the
terminus of the Southern Italian Railway at seven
o'clock this morning. The train which conveyed
their Royal Highnesses was composed of 10 saloon
carriages, and could not run at full speed, never-
theless the journey was peformed at an average of
50 kilometres per hour including stoppages.' At
Camccmaritio Oar Rlyal Highnesses alighted for
dinner.

INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.
GIBRALTAR, May 2.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Nyanza arzived at Eve and left for Southampton at
nine this morning. All well. She may be ex-
pceted on Thursday evening.

THE JVILLOUGHBY-D'ALTLYRAC
SCANDAL.

Did i of everyone, asks the Pall Mall Gazette, suppoEc 11.a'
we bad heard the last of that gikat scaneal which wa,
associated with the name of Lord Willoughby d'En-sby
some little time ago? The details of the cas., were very
painful, and the noble defendant did- not escape from thy•
public gaze 'before he hail received a sharp castigntioi
from all the orgacs of pabiic opinion. Mr. Verne:
Harcourt was•called in to make an award, and 114:allotted to
the injured lady £5,000 down and £l,OOO a year for rent,
and £lOO a mouth. Yut this lady is tow dragged into the
Bankruptcy Court through a tot:3 failure of her income.
" She hadonly received £5OO under the award." "Eho had
a house in London, and it is now occupied by Lord 'Nil,.
louhby." Is this new disclosure calculated to improve
Lord• Willoughby's position in the eyes of the world ? He
may eat° very little about his own reputation, but it is gene-
rally 'supposed that a man is bound to act with common
humanity towards a woman whom he has acknowledged as
Lis wife.

EXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY,
BURLINGTON HOUSE.

The interest always felt in the first glimpse of the
annual exhibition of the Royal Academy has this year
been heightened by its transfer from Trafalgar-square to
Piccadilly. 'the Academy and its visitors have alike gained
by the removal. The new building is worthy of its
object, and the exchange from the overcrowded and
insufficient department of the old National Gallery to the
spacious and commodious suite of rooms at Burlington
Home is a very welcome one. As yet the artists have not
prefited so much as they ought to have done by the
removal, since the additional space Las not been turned
to full account by the council, and the number of
of rejections has been large. It is hoped that another
year the difficulties incidental to a change of quarters
will be lessened, and the baste and confusion which have
recc.ssarily somewhat interfered with the deliberations of
the council will be avoided. The rooms are num-
bered 1 to 10, and the visitor can make the
circuit uninterruptedly—a manifest advantage. Enter-
ing Room 1, the " Studies of Lions " (30-32), are
readily recognised as from the pencil of our great animal
painter. Sir Edwin's " Swannery Invaded by Sea
Eagles" (120), is, however, his chef d'oeuvre. The contrast
between the snowy plumage of the swans, fighting
vainly in defence of their cygnets, and the russet
brown of the invading eagles, heightens the effect. The
quiet loneliness of the swannery, with its bulrushes and
water-lilies; -forms a strange background for the furious
struggle. " The Return of the Dove " (45), by G. F.
Watts, is another picture which can scarcely be over-
looked. As its title implies, it represents the Deluge, not
in the aspect usually chosen by the painter, but during the
last days of the dread visitation. Nothing is to be seen but
the waste of swelling waters, over which the solitary dove
is winging her way with the olive branch. Mr. Watts,
who has hitherto been known as a figure-painter, in this
picture shews his proficiency in another branch of
his art. Marcus Stone has chosen his chief
subject from the rich fields of English history,
and it is one which gives full scope for his powers. The
scene is the Chapel Royal at Whitehall, in 1553, when the
Princess Elizabeth was obliged to attend mass by the
wish of Queen Mary. The young Princess is shoving her
ebaractel istic prudence and force of character by Ler reserved
and impassive demcanour,but the foreign ambassadors watch
her narrowly, in the hope that she will commit herself by
some act of indiscretion. Mr. and Mrs. Ward also belong
to the historical sclmol. Mr. Ward has four pictures,
the largest, if not the most effective, being a figure
of Luther studying the Bible in his monastic
days. The introduction of Grinling Gibb, ns, the
great English wood carver, to Catherine of Braganza, at the
Court of Charles 11., is, however, Mr. Ward's chief success.
The Queen, who is at first struck with the beauty of the
artist's work, is disenchanted by the foolish gossip of her
attendants, while Evelyn looks on in disgust. Mr. Ward
has also a water-colour drawing from his fresco in the
House of Lords—" Monk Declaring for a Free Par-
liament" Mrs. Ward has a " Scene from the Child-
hood of the Old Pretender," which will fully maintain
the lady's reputation. Mr. C. W. Cope has a large
painting, "The Price of Victory," exhibiting the grief of
the Iron Duke on hearing the list of casualties at Water-
loo ; but the picture, though carefully painted, fails to
impress the spectator. Mr. Millais's "Nina" shews a
young girl dresssd in white, apparently seated for her
portrait. Mr. Prinsep's " Hetty " will be readily recognised
by all readers of "Adam Bede" as the charming dairy.
maid of the novel. More powerful is Mr. T. nod's'
" Homeless," a lonely figure, whose prototype may only
too readily be recognised in any of our great towns,
"Only Herself," by the sarne painter, is a fine
study. Arab life supplies two subjects. "The
Arab Story-Teller," by Mr. Hodgson, gives an
incident of desert life ; and " Parce alteri," an Arab
ploughing, is a careful study. Mr. Storey's " Old
Soldier" is a pleasant picture, founded on a passage of
Sterne, and the contrast between the importunate beggar
and the smiling maiden is vividly drawn. Mr. Calderon
has given us two pictures in very different styles.
The subject of the one, " Sighing his soul into his lady's face,"
may be gathered from its title. The other is drawn from
the stormiest days of French history, and shews Cathe-
rine of Lorraine inciting Jacques Clement to the murder
of Henry 111. The sombre face of the monk and the
impassioned hatred of the duchess are depicted with a
vigorous hand. Some of the landscapes are very beautiful.
Mr. M`Whirter, an Edinburgh painter, has achieved a com-
plete success in hisacene from the Isle of Skye, the locality
from which Mr. A. Hunt chose his subject for the Old
Water Colour Exhibition. Another Highland landscape,
" Autumnal Showers," by Mr. Peter Graham, deserves
notice; while Mr. Poole inh is "Lorenzo and Jessica" gives
us one of those moonlight scenes in which ho is so
singularly successful. Mr. Frith, in his "Hope and
Fear " (82), exhibits his characteristic care and patience ;
and Mr. Armitage's "Hero Lighting the Beacon" 'thews
some striking torohlight effects. Miss Escombe's
"Drapery" appears to have given more satisfaction to
herself than to the spectator ; for, by an ingenious arrange.
raent, the ungraceful figure is twice repeated by the mirror
.and the portrait.

It is reported (says the Globe) that Lord Eliot,
ton of the Earl of St. German's, and who represented
Devonport in the Liberal interest from 1866 to 1868, will
come forward as a candidate to represent LiEkeard, in the
roam of Sir A. W. Buller, deceased.

The Bombay Gazette says that the Spiteful left
Ceylon on the 18th of March with orders to take possession
of the Nicobar Islands in the name of the Queen. The
islands aro situated between the Andamans and Sumatra,
and are the abode of a half savage people. The reasons fox
this annexation are not given.
