THE EVACUATION OF ITERAT.

The following is, we believe, the only letter which
has yet reached England direct from Herat :

" C►tadel of Ilerat, Oct. 11, 185

. _
" Here we are at last, alter all the prognostications
of the wise ones, and such a reception as I have never
seen anywhere. Murray's affairs af, Teheran have never
been anything like this, uor have I witnessed such a dis-
play at any native Court in India. No one could have
done more for us than have these poor people, and I

_ . .
hope earnestly Government will see tho propriety—in-
deed, the absolute necessity—of doing something r
them. All their guns and ammunition have been taken
away, their defences destroyed, and half of their popu-
lation carried away captives ; they are in the most
wretched state of misery that you can possibly imagine,
and yet here they are, receiving us with open arms, while
we make neither promises nor give money, the Persians
indulging largely in both. If Government will only pay
a reasonable sum, I mean enough to repair the breaches,
supply guns, and lay in a store of ammunition, these people
will be entirely with us. We have had a very HI
march, without once encountering the much dreaded
Tooricomans. From Meshed to this, we travelled always
by day, and very plea.ant it was, for the cold weather
had set in, and we had ice in our basins almost every
morning. There were many most picturesque buildings
on this route, and the citadel here is splendid. I regret
your absence more and more every day. We have no
one here for photographic: or other scientific purposes.
The place is quite clear of Persian troops, but they have
at restored all the prisoners - they are trying to make
a distinction between those taken actually in the -act of
fighting and those whom they took when the town sur-
rendered. I can't say how long we remain, but I trust
not long, unless Government intend doing the needful
regarding defences. We arrived only to-day."

THE PRINOK OF WALES AND HIS ANTL.RUSSIANISII.
—I heard (from good authority) an anecdote the other
day about the Prince of Wales, which, though, only
trivial in itself, is rather amusing, and illustrates the
b lish strength of his national prejudices. Soon after
the conclusion of the late war, this Russian ambassador
was to pay a visit to his little princeabip. 11.R.H. w4ts
very angry, and intern Med a strong objection to waiting
in doors to receive his excellency, of whose race rine
country he took the oceasion of expressing his senti-
ments with some strength. However, as his tutor
informed him that it vas the express order of the Queen
that he should remain indoors until one o'clock in order
to receive the ambassador if he came, the Priuct3 sat
down, cap in band, before the clock, eagerly watching
the movements of the hands. The moment they pointed
to one, on wont the cap, and the youngster dashed out
of the room, with an exclamation of dellght. The next
minute the Muscovite envoy arrived ! I have nothing
to say for the good manners of the affair ; but the sea-
timent that dictated his behaviour is at any rate not
