Lieut. Cbudon, Aides-se-Camp, and Capt. Jach-
mann, Director in the Prussian Admiralty, being
at Portsmouth, at an early Lour yesterday Imo: sl-
ing, the Chevalier Vandenberg, his Prussian Ma-
jesty's Vice-Consul there, waited upon the Prince,
and was graciously greeted, the Chevalier having
been the first to notify to the King of Prussia the
Prince's gallant attack on the .Riff pirates a few
years since, when his royal highness was wounded.

inventor of the effective concussion shell which
bears his name. The visitors were received with

the Diadem, which is the largest frigate of her class
in the navy, they returned to the Sprightly, which'

the Admiral's barge. They remained witnessing
shot and shell firing from the Excellent for upwards

three-decker Victoria, 121, of 1,000 horse-power,
building, the Marlborough screw, 131, in dock, and
the Melpomene screw, 51, fitting for commission.

barked in Sir G. Seymour's barge, and visited the
Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar, under the super-
intendence of Capt. Dacres, C. B, In the evening
