MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE ROYAL

OF NAPLES.

A letter from Munich, of Saturday, states :—" This even-
ing at nine o'clock the marriage by procuration of the Duke
of Calabria, the hereditary prince of Naples, with the Prin-
cess Maria-Sophia-Amelia of Bavaria, was solemnly per-
formed with great pomp."
The King of the Two Sicilies has provisionally settled an
income of 160,000 ducats upon the Prince, expressing his
intention to augment it whenever the necessity of an aug-
mentation may be shown by experience, and more particu-
larly in the case of his having issue (nella sopravvenienza
di prole). When the present King was Duke of Calabria,
his dotation was 600,000 ducats, but his Majesty Las de-
clared that he means to regulate the income of his son by
the state of the treasury.

THE LATE ACCIDENT TO THE FRENCH SOLDIER
AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—JuIian Autran, the French soldier
who was sent to this country by the Emperor of the
French in charge of a piece of ordnance as a present to her
Majesty, and who, it will be remembered, had his leg
broken by the box f the limber waggon falling upon it, on
the 15th Nov. last, is now perfectly recovered from the acci-
dent, and on Saturday he had the honour of being pre-
sented to her Majesty and the Prince Consort by Col.
Howard Vyse, who conveyed him to the Castle in his own
carriage. The presentation took place in one of the private
rooms of the Castle, there being present only her
Majesty, the Prince Consort, Colonel Howard Vyse, 2d
Life Guards, and the French soldier. Her Majesty and the
Prince Consort conversed with Autran for some time in his
own language. The former inquired into every particular
relative to the accident, and asked the soldier if he had suf-
fered much, and upon his replying that he had scarcely
suffered anything, her Majesty observed that she was pleased
to find that the reports in answer to the inquiries which she
had made since the accident had proved to be correct. In-
quiry was then made if he was satisfied with the treatment he
had experienced while at the White Hart Hotel, to •Ohich ho
replied in the affirmative. The Prince Consort also con

versed familiarl3 with the soldier, and as 1;;;;as71.17out-io
take leave the Prince observed that he was sorry he would
bear with him to France a painful reminiscence of his visit
to England, when the soldier replied that, on the contrary,
he felt more than compensated for his accident by the kind
treatment he had received from the English people during
his stay in this country, and more particularly by the
honour he had now received of being presented to her Ma-
jesty and her Royal Consort. Previous to Autran's presen-
tation her Majesty had kindly sent to him a splendid gold
watch and gold chain. During the stay of Autran at the
White Hart Hotel, he has occupied some of the best apart-
ments, and every attention has been paid to him by Mr.
Johnson, the proprietor. He has been daily visited, at the
request of her Majesty, by the principal gentlemen of the
Court, by the Duke of Malakhotf, and by the officers of the
Life and Foot Guards in garrison at Wmdsor, and he has
been attended by the surgeon of the Life Guards, Dr.
Buckland.

STEAMER ASHORE. The Earl of Caithness
steamer, Murray, commander, trading between Edinburgh
and Wick, left Granton yesterday morning, and reached
Aberdeen bay last evening about seven o'clock. At this
hour it was not far from low water at our harbour, and, of
course, though the steamer's call was as usual expected, it
could not be anticipated she would venture into port, no
signal being up that she should do so. For the port, how-
ever, she steamed shortly after seven, and the consequence
was, that just when crossing the bar, she went aground
a little within the flagstaff and opposite the south break-
water. The accident becoming speedily known, and a pretty
heavy sea being on, Mr. Gauld, the captain pilot, got the
lifeboat manned and launched, and in three or four trips the
whole of the passengers (about 30, we understand) were
safely brought ashore. One person, however, refused to quit
the vessel—viz., the chief owner, Mr. J. Bremner (son of
the well-known engineer). Again and again the lifeboat re-
turned with the sole view of getting this gentleman to leave,
and when it is considered how much he had at stake his re-

luctance to quit the ship till the Fast is not to be wondered
at. Indeed, we believe we are not wrong in saying that on
the final visit of the boat Mr. Bremner was found gallantly
endeavouring, single-handed, to work the engines and back
his vessel. Seeing this was hopeless he consented to come
off, and so, happily, by 12 o'clock every one had been landed
in safety. Not a single passenger, however, had been able
to save any luggage, and it may be easily conceived they
were in no very cheerful mood, but Mr. Shoremaster Wil-
liams and Mr. Reid, harbour treasurer, who were early on
the scene, followed soon after by Mr. Muir, the local agent,
saw to the comfort of one and all, the women being taken
to the Steam Yacht Tavern, and there cared for during the
night. At 2 o'cloca this morning (Saturday) the waves
were breaking over the vessel, but the light affixed to the
foremast was still burning. Watchmen were placed at the
Torry side to take care of any goods that might be washed
ashore there. It is hoped that, should the sea become
calmer, the steamer may be got off. Tugs were tried to
move her soon after the accident, but their power was inef-
tual. The Earl of Caithness is said to be worth between
£3,000 and £4,000, but, unfortunately, the insurance does
