A letter from Toulon of the 22d says :—" The
Grand Duke Constantine to-day paid a second visit
to the arsenal, accompanied by his suite, all of
whom be'ong to, the navy; -and who are charged ti
tdle notes of what they see. On visi'ing the
armoury on the previous day, he did not at first
notice the guns brought from Sebastopol, as the
precaution had been taken of turning them some-
what out of sight, but on his examining them
more closely, he found that tt ey had belonged to
Russia. Those are trophies of vi,:tory?' he
asked one of the functionaries who accompa-
nied him. 'Yes, Prince,' replied the latter;
but I can show you something by wAy of a
set off,' pointing to a number of French guns,
which had been rendered unfit for further service
by the Russian shot. 'Ah !' said the Gte,nd Duke,
'that is what you call a set off, is it I Perhaps it
is sufficient for you by way of courtesy, but I —.
However, I accept it, such as it is,' edded he
smiling. During the same visit he. pointed out a
dozen firearms, which he expressed a wish to exa-
mine more cl, sely, and they were Fen t to the maritime
prefecture in the evening. The Prince has de
()lined having any attendance of troops or illu-
minations, or visits from the different bodies. '
have come,' he said, to perfe,t mys4f in naval
affairs ; I have much -to learn, and it is better for
me to occupy the short time which remains at my
disposal in a serious examination of what may be
useful than in vain ceremonies.' The Prince mak,s
all his excursions as a private individual, and
without disarranging any one. He passed nearly
the whole of to-day in visit'ng the Arsenal, the
extent of which is greater than the town of
T,.ulon, a'though the latter contains 75,000 in-
habitants. His Imperial Highness expressed his
admiration at the order and regularity which pre-
vailed in every part of the gigantic establishment.
The immense fountain, horn whence all the ship-
ping in the harbour supply themselves with water,
particularly struck' his attention. The Prince paid
a second visit to the armoury to-day ; but be-
fore his visit, orders had been given to hide from
view the great bell which had beer, brought from
Sebastopol. Seeing some large objee, . however,
covered over with a tarpaulin, the Prance asked what
it was, and on observing some little hesitation on
the part of the person to whom he addressed the
question, he himself raised the covering, and, see-
ing what it was, gave a melancholy smile, and said,
' I will not look at that at present, Lut will return
another day.' "

EARL FITIXARDINSE.—.We regret to state that Berl
Fitzhardinge, who we lately reported had met with an
accident while hunting in the Berkeley country, is still
labouring under severe illness. The nob'e earl is unable
to take nourishing food, and fears are entertained with
regard to his ultimate recovery.

mie, the sub-dean of Lincoln, has been elected proctor

THE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVEXPOOL, Saturday.—
The British and North American royal magi steamship
Europa, Captain Robert Leitch, sailed from the Mersey
at 11 o'clock this forenoon, for Halifax and Boston, with
the usual math for the United States and British North
American possessions, 140 passengers, and a full cargo
of m.rchandise on freight.
COLLIERS' STRIKE.—The works of the Cwmsyton
Coal Company, Monmouthshire, have been brought to a
stand still; in consequence of the hands there employed
having turned out on strike, and having either so far
enlisted the sympathies of, or intimi.iated, the workmen
employed by the company with a view to supplyiog
their places, as to prevent them from working.
THE EXHIBITION OF DESIGNS IN WESTMINSTER
HALL.--The plans for the new Government offices which
have been sent in by competitors from all nations, will
be thrown open for public inspection in Weettninster
Hall, on Monday, May 3. There will be a private view
for members of the Houses of Lords and Commons on
Monday next, May 1. Most of the designs provide for
the erection of Westminster-bridge considerably eastward
of its present site. The names of the judges with whom
the fetal selection will rest have nut 3et been announced.
The United Service Gagette announces that a very im-
portant step has been taken towards the promotion of
education in the army.. A "Board of RlE:cation" has
been formed, at the head of which is the Commander-in-
Chief (ex °Pio), with Major General Comer 42nd,
for vice-president, and Colonels Porth.ck, R.E., and Ad-
dison, Assistant Quartermaster General, for niembere,
Everything in relation to the suitable preparation of
officers for first commissions and later ad yaietement
be under the government of this board. The examina-
tions will no longer be conducted at Sandhurst, but by
competent professors, holding their appointments tem-
porarily, as recommended by the commissioners who
lately returned front the Continent.

DETERMINED SUICIDE IN TUB REGENT'S CANAL.—
Yesterday afternoon, aholt half-past 2 o'c,ock, an alarm
was raised that a min had mounted the parapet of the
bridge at Islington, a d plunged into the Regent', Car,al.
A number of persons hastened to rescue li:rn, but he had
sunk. The drags having been procured, the body was
(after some time had elapsed), recovered, when life was
found to be extinct. Some individuals r,cognised it as
that of a man named E {ward Jackson, living in the
Lower us& It appeared that a feina!e to whom he
had been paying his addrel,ses bad yesterday married
another, and it is supposed the mortielcation drove him
to the commission of the rash ant, as he appeared quite
in a frer.ay.
