PRINCE ALFRED.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.

Princo Alfred landed at Gibraltar from her
Majesty's ship Euryalus on the 29th ult., amid
great honours. His Royal Highness took up his
residence at the Convent, where he received the
principal persons in Gibraltar, who were intro-
duced to him by the Governor, Sir James Ferguson.
In the course of the day the Prince was present at
a review held in the Alameda.

On the Ist inst. the Prince visited the galleries,
signal-station, and St. Michael's Cave, and in the
evening honoured by his presence a ball given by
the Governor.

On the 2d the Prince took an excursion in her
Majesty's steamer Redpole round the back of the
rock, beyond Catalan Bay. The Redpole after-
wards crossed to Algesiras, and the Prince visited
the town privately.
On the 3d his Royal Highness hunted with the
Calpe hounds, and in the evening dined with Cap-
tain Warden.

On the 4th, the Prince, attended by Major
Cowell, and accompanied by a small party of
ladies and officers of both services paid a visit to
Ceuta in her Majesty's steamer Redpole. Don
Manuel Gosset, the Governor of the place, accom-
panied his Royal Highness round the fortifica-
tions. Horses were then provided, and an excursion
was made beyond the walls and the Moorish out-
posts. After returning to Gibraltar the Prince
dined with Lieut.. Colonel Hamilton and the officers
of the 25th, at that garrison.
The Euryalis left Gibraltar on the Gth. Crowds
of soldiers from the garrison cheered the Prince on
his departure. The Tangier correspondent of the
Gibraltar Chronicle supplies the following parti-
culars to that journal :

" TANGIER, DEC. 7.

" Her Majesty's-steam frigate, Euryalis, Captain
Tarleton, C. 8., with his Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, arrived in this bay yesterday at one p.m.
Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Drummond,
proceeded in a Moorish launch to the ship soon
after her arrival to wait upon his Royal Highness,
and was saluted by the Euryalus with 11 guns. The
Prince disembarked shortly afterwards under a
salute of 21 guns from the town batteries, a com-
pliment which was immediately returned by the
ship, and was received on landing by the Moorish
Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Governor of the
town, and a numerous guard of honour. Saddled
horses were also in attendance in case his Royal
Highness should wish to ride into the town.
Accompanied by the above escort the Prince walked
up to the British Mission, where he took up his
' quarters for the period of his stay at Tangier. His
Royal Highness, with Mr. D. Hay, Captain Tarle-
ton, and a large party of British officers (naval,
military, and civil), called in the afternoon upon
the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Governor
of the town, and made a tour through the place,
visiting some of the Jews' houses and bazaars. This
morning the Prince rode out into the country, nu-
merously attended, and witnessed the manoeuvring
of a large body of cavalry, under the command of
the Lieutenant-Governor of the town. His Royal
Highness was present a little later in the day at
the marriage of a beautiful young Jewess, the
daughter of one of the principal merchants in the
place, and re-embarked at two p.m. in the Eury-
alus. which took her departure immediately after-
wards."
