THE EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA.

Her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Austria
left Plymouth on Saturday morning In the Victoria
and Albert royal yacht for Madeira, attended by
the steam yacht Osborne. These vessels steamed
out of Devonport Harbour shortly att?r eight
o'clock, the Victoria and Albert havtng,i- the
Austrian standard flying at the main, aul thfT
were saluted on their passage out by her Majesty's
ships Impregnable, Cambridge, &c. It is thought
that the Victoria and Albert will accomplish
run to Madeira in four days.
It has been represented that her Imperial Ma-,
jesty did not rand whilst at Devonport, but this is
a mistake. The Empress and her suite landed on
Friday afternoon at Crenall, and drove round the
beautiful grounds of Yount Edgcumbe-park, at-
tended by Lord Valletort on horseback, after which
her Majesty visited Mount Edgcumbe-house, where
she was received by Lady Mount Edgcumbe and
Lady Katherine Valletort. The Hon. George Edg-
cumbe,---Mrs. George Edgcumbe, and the Misses
Edgcumbe were also in the house during her Im-
perial Majesty's visit. The Empress, although
evidently in ill-health, is not so ill as to be itrier-
dieted from conversation and exercise, as has hoc.n
represented. She appeared very animated, ai.‘4.
evidently enjoyed her visit to Mount Edgcumbe.
While the Empress was in Devonport harbour
she was waited on by Count Apponyi, the Austrian
Ambassador ; Admiral Sir H. Stewart, the Com-
mander-in-Chief at Devonport ; and Major-General
Hutchinson, the Commander-in-Chief of the western
district.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY.
" OUR .WOUNDED COUNTRYMEN." •
Yesterday morning 27 members of the quondam,
Pro-Papal Irish Brigade, said to have been
wounded somewhere or another during the recent
brief and inglorious campaign under General La-
mOriciere, arrived in Dublin by the Holyhead
steamer, and, of course, met with a warm and
cheering reception from the sympathisers with the
" holy cause" in which they had embarked. A
Paris correspondent of the News narrates the fol-
lowing touching incidents in connexion with the
arrival and sojourn of these heroes in the French
capital :
" On Saturday morning they were visited by a
noble specimen of our Gaelic brothers of the Ca-
ledonian Highlands,—a Scottish gentleman, whose
kind, affectionate, and fraternal attentions to our
countrymen will long be gratefully remembered.
Mr. Alexander Grey, the gentleman in question,
received and treated our men as brothers ; and at-
tired in Highland costume, escorted them at his
expense in cabriolets to the various public institu-
tions, buildings, places of interest, ;Sze., in Paris.
Literally, 31. r. Grey never parted from them till
they left the forrninus en route for Havre. We
give the name of tNs large hearted Highland gen-
tleman to the gratefu! regards of the Irish nation,
confident that his conduct will serve to link
still more closely the kindred peoples of
Scotia and Hibernia. On Sunday the Most
Rev, 1)r. Gillooly, Bishop of Vullin ; the Most
Rev. 1)r. O'Connor, Bishop of Pittsburg,
United States ; the Very Rev. Dr. Lynelty
and the good Fathers of the Irish Colleggr Vicomte
de Richmont, Viscount Stockpoole, Rev. p•rofe_ssors

Blake, M.P., and a large number of gentlemen of
the highest rank visited the men. In the forenoon:.
the poor fellows were conveyed to the new and
beautiful church of the Society of Jesus, where
lary and coifying
conduct was so strikingly oxen*
they attended mass. During the Divine office their
as to attract the attention of the vast congregation
resents, consisting of wine
present. Every day ,
scarfs, clothing, and other articles, were received
from various noblemen and gentlemen. The good.
sisters of a convent opposite the hotel paid several
visits, distributing,along with more substantial gifts,
chaplets, pictures, &C. In fact, every visitor brought
some present for the men. The Viscount, stack-

ADMTRUTY. —lt is understood that the
.
Lords of the Treasury have at last yielded to the necessity
of bringing together the two departments of the Admiralty
at Whitehall and Somerset-house in one building, which
measure the Duke of Somerset, it is believed, has been most
anxious to have effected.—Army and Navy Gazette.
