THE BVACUATION OF HERAT.

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

" Citadel of Herat, Oct. 11, 185

" Here we are at last, after all the prognostications
of the wise ones, and such a reception as I have never
seen anywhere. Murray's affairs at Teheran have never
been anything like this, nor 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 the propriety—in-
dosed, the absolute necessity—of doing something for
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 jolly
march, without once encountering the much dreaded
Toorkomans. 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 hers for photographic or other scientific purposes.
The place is quite clear of Persian troops, but they have
not 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
nob long, unlace Government intend doing the needful
regarding defences. We arrived only to-day."

THE PRINCE OF WALES AND HIS ANTI-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 .yish strength of his national prejudices. Soon after
the conclusion of the late war, the Russian ambassador
was to pay a visit to his little princeship. H.R.H. was
very angry, and intirrai:ed a strong objection to waiting
in doors to receive his excellency, of whose rage anc
country he took the occasion of Expres,ing his senti-
ments with some strength. However, as his tutor
lat rmed him that it was the express order of the Queen
that he should remain indoors until one o'clock in order
the movereentsand
to receive the ambassador if he came, the Prince sat 1
down, cap in h
