who have been admitted to the section of the

By decrees in the Moniteur the number of Coun-
cillors of State on ordinary service hors section* is

for the judicial year 1858-59 ; and the same num-
ber for the Chambre de Jugement of the same

makes sundry promotions and nominations in the
magistracy in different parts of France.
A military friend writes from Corunna, under
date the 2d of November :

" We have just been favoured with a visit from

the midshipman son of the Queen of England,
Prince Alfred, accompanied by an English military
officer and the Rev. Mr. Luke Onelow. The
Euryalus, Captain Tarleton, in which the Prince
is, as I understand, proceeding for a cruise in
the Mediterranean, put into Ferrol last night,
and remained there while his Royal Highness
came over here in the Spanish war steamer Santa
Teresa. As his arrival at Ferrol and his inten-
tion
to come here had been telegraphed, the
garrison was put under arms, and he was received
at landing with all the honours due to his rank.
The Captain-General of the province conducted
him in his carriage to the Palace, escorted by a
squadron of Dragoons, and preceded by a detach-
ment of the same.
"The Prince and his companions expressed a
great desire to see the ground on which the ever-
memorable battle of
,Corunna was fought, and
which cost the life of England's most distinguished
General. The Captain-General accompanied his
Royal Highness and suite in open carriages to the
scene of that bloody fray, escorted as before, and
attended by all the Staff on horseback.
" The village of Elvina was the key of the posi-
tion which General Moore had taken up to protect

the embarkation of his army, and here it was he
lost his-life as he was repulsing the desperate at-
tempts of the Fernch to get possession of it. Here
Marshal Soult had his name engraved on a rock

in testimony of his appreciation of the military

talents• and courage of his antagonist in that
fierce fight. This village was of course a prin-
cipal object of attention, the more so as from
it may be seen what was on that day of
renown for the British army the entire field of
battle. The scene was rather imposing. A scion
of the Royal House of England come to visit the
spot where the bones of many a British solder are
mouldering, and to pay the tribute of his homage
to the great general who fell there gloriously. The
day was lovely, and the ground towards the city,
which is about three miles from Elvina, presented
a beautiful panorama. The bay, which is
in the form of a horseshoe, has the pretty
little city of Corunna, with its quaint old-fashioned
buildings and tall church spires, on one shore,
while the other is dotted with country houses
half hid amid orange groves and vineyards, now
glowing beneath the bright beam of an autumn
sun. The Prince and his companions seemed
charmed with the whole scene, though, perhaps,
the memory of the past might have thrown some
shade over it.
" They afterwards visited the mausoleum erected
to the memory of General Moore, in the gardens of
San Carlos, and lingered for some time on the spot,
and then, to use the words of our countryman on
the same hero,

" They left him alone with his glory!"

" The Prince and party returned to the Captain-
General's residence, and, after partaking of luncheon
left for Ferrol, and, still accompanied by his excel-
lency, returned on board of the. Santa Teresa under
a Royal salute. So ended this interesting visit of
the English Prince to the resting place of him who
fought and fell in defence of the Crown so nobly
worn by his Royal mother."
Snow fell the whole of Saturday last, and during
a part of the night, at Strasburg. Winter ap-
peared to have set in with great severity on Sunday,
but towards evening a south wind sprung up, and
the mass of snow in the streets was changed into

a mass of mud.
Snow fell at Lyons likewise on Sunday, and con-
tinued on Monday, and during the night a smart
frost set in. A violent north wind, with intense
cold weather, was experienced at Marseilles on
Saturday. A great number of ships which wero ap-
proaching the harbour were caught in the gale and
forced to take refuge in the ports of Cassis and La
Ciotat. A large lugger which sailed from Marseilles
in the morning was cast on the rocks near the Ca-
talans, where it was dashed to pieces. The crew
saved themselves in a small boat attached to the
lugger.
