ARRIVAL OF THE PALMYRA.

CROORHANEN, May 28.

The Cunard extra steamer Palmyra, from New
York on the 9th inst., passed the Fastnet at
noon to-day. All well.

CANADA.
TORONTO, C.W., May 14.

The volunteers on active duty in the Province
consist of three military divisions, altogether num-
bering nearly 3,000 men. These are poited in
companies of from one to eight at the following
points on the frontier, viz. :—Windsor, Sandwich,
Turma, St. Mary's, Goderich, Point Edward, Dun-
neville, Chatham, Magara, Prescot, Cornwall, and
Ottawa.

Mr. C. J. Brydges, the well-known President of
the Grand Trunk Railway, is gazetted as Lieut.-
Colonel Commandant of the newly-organised
Grand Trunk Railway Regiment.

As there is a prospect of a large immigration to
Canada this year, the Grand Trunk Railway is
making preparations accordingly. Immigrants will
be carried only in second-class cars, while pro-
prietors of refreshment places on the line will have
to sell good wholesome food at a moderate cost.

Quarantine regulations, adopted by the Governor
in Council, have been issued for the medical inspec-
tion of mail steam-ships and other vessels entering
the port of Quebec. When free from cases of sick-
ness of an infectious nature ocean steamers will
suffer no detention.

While giving all credit to the Government of the
United States for the steps they have lately taken to
thwart Fenian intentions, the Toronto Leader
thinks that they have not done enough. Tit recom-
mends that President Johnson should issue a pro-
clamation warning the Fenians of the risk they run
in violating the comity of nations. In advocacy of
this suggestion it points to the precedent of President
Tyler, who in 1818, when the so-called Patriots
had nefarious designs upon Canada, issued a pro-
clamation denouncing the conspirators, and threat-
ening condign punishment if the laws of the United
Statee were violated.

The Dukedom of Edinburgh.
As the public seems to be in some little doubt as
to the history of this title, bestowed on the 24th
inst. by her Majesty on her second son, Prince
Alfred, it may not be out of place to mention the
connection of the royal family with the peerage in
question.
His Royal Highness Prince William Henry, s°ll
of Frederick Prince of Wales, and brother of Ding
George 111, was created, on the 10th November/
1764, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh. 111 e
latter title was not used though both were British
peerages—the Crown having had no power t°
create a Scottish peerage since the passing of the
Act of Union on the Ist May, 1707. The elder
Duke of. Gloucester and Edinburgh died in 1805'
and was succeeded by his son, Prince
Frederick, at whose death, without issue, en the
30th November, 1834, the two peerages beeanle
extinct.
The title of Duke of Edinburgh is therefore a De:
creation in favour of his Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, and will be borne as his first title.
