DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE OF
PRUSSIA FOR THE CONTINENT.
On Saturday morning his Royal Highness the Prince
of Prussia, attended by Chevalier Bunsen, end the mem-
bers of his suite, left the residence of the Legation
shortly after twelve o'cleck, and proceeded to the Na-
tional Gallery, for the purpose of viewing the collection
of pictures contained therein. After walking through
the apartments, critically examining the various works
of art, the royal party left for Argyll House, the resi-
dence of the Earl of Aberdeen. The Noble Earl, not
having returned from. Windsor, his Royal Highness did
not alight, but proceeded at once to Apsley House, to
take leave of the Duke of Wellington. His .grace re-
ceived the Prince in the vestibule, and, conducted him
up the grand staircase, they entered the principal saloon,
where they spent some time' in earnest conversation,
after which the Prince took leave of the gallant duke
in the most affectionate` manner. From Apsley House
his Royal Highness prOceeded to the house of Sir
Benjamin Hall, in Portman-square, to take leave of
Lady and Miss Hall,- after which the illustrious
party returned to the Legation to lunch. At
three o'clock the royal carriages were again in at-
tendance to convey the Prince to Messrs. Barclay and
Perlcins's Brewery, in Southwark. Hera the Royal
party were received by Mr. Bevan, one of the members
of the firm, who conducted his Royal Highness through
the various departments, visiting in succession the
" stage," where a complete view of the splendid ma-
chinery is obtained, the tun-room, the stores, and the
stabling. The Prince appeared greatly pleased with all
that he. saw, and upon taking. leave expressed his thanks
to Mr. Bevan for the polite attention shown to him.
Thence his Royal Highness proceeded to the terminus
of the London and Greenwich Railway, and having, with
his suite, entered a . first-class carriage, he reached
Greenwich at a quarter-past four o'clock. One of the
Queen's carriages was in attendance at the terminus, and
his Royal Highness having entered it, drove direct to
the residence of Admiral Stopford, governor of the
hospital, who received his Royal Highness upon alight-
ing. The illustrious party were then conducted by Sir
Robert Stopford through the noble institution over
which the gallant admiral presides, with all the arrange-
ments of which the Prince expressed himself highly
gratified.
On leaving the Painted Hall the royal party proceeded
to the Naval School, where the Prince was received by
Lieutenant Rouse, a gallant veteran, who, having lost a
limb in the service, now fills the responsible office of the
superintendent of the schools. The pupils, to the :num-
ber of 800, were ranged round the quadrangle in which
the model ship is erected, and as the Prince entered the
band of juvenile performers commenced playing " God
save the Queen," and the national anthem of Prtissia,
the yards of the model ship being manned at the
same moment by some of the pupils. His Royal High-
ness subsequently witnessed the pupils exercise in the
gymnasium, and then proceeded to the Crown and
Sceptre Tavern, where his Royal Highness and a distin-
guished party sat doWn to dinner at six o'clock. His
Excel!ency the Russian Ambassador, Baron Brunnow,
the Austrian Minister, Baron Nieumann, and Captain
Smith, R.N., were among the company present.
At a quarter to eight o'clock his Royal Highness re-
turned, and in company with his suite entered the barge
of the William and Mary yacht, which was in attend-
ance, under the command of Captain Smith, to convey
the royal party on board the. Lightning steam-tender,
Master Commander W. Roberts, which had previously
arrived from Woolwich, having taken on board the lug-
gage of his Royal Highness at that port. At eight
o'clock, his Royal Highness haring taken leave of Che-
valier Bunsen, who accompanied the Prince on board,
the moorings were let go, and the steamer proceeded
' down the river to Ostend, at which port his Royal
Highness is expected to land en route for Berlin. ..

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
pleated by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALB ATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican,And 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation-of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver In appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned' as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard :

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more diffefent from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

GRAND WHITEBAIT EN TERTAIN-
MENT' TO HIS ROYAL. HIGHNESS THE

PRINCE. OF PRUSSIA.

On Saturday last Chevalier Hebeler, the Prussian
Consul-General, had the honour conferred on him of
entertaining his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia
at the crown and Sceptre Tavern, Greenwich, previous
to the embarkation of the Royal visitor on board the
Lightning, Government steamer, for Ostend.
The. following distinguished personages were invited
to meet his Royal Highnesa Serene Highness
Prince Edward of Saxe Wei Mar (who, however, left for
the Continent early in the cw,), Count Puckler, Count
Konigsmark, Baron Schleinitz, Baron Berg, his Excel-
lency Chevalier Bunsen, Mr. Ernest Bunsen, Baron
Thile, Lieut. Baron de Thile,. Captain Meynell, R.N.,
Equerry to the Prince, the Earl of Westmoreland, his
Excellency Baron Brunnow, his Excellency Baron Nieu-
mann, his Excellency Count Nesselrode, Earl Howe, B.
B. Cabell, Esq., J.-Ratrisbottom, Esq., M.P., Rev. J. Fah
lowfield (representing the G rand Lodge of Freemasons of
England) ; the Earl of Dalhousie, Admiral Sir R. Stop-
ford (Governor of Greenwich Hospital), 11. Lefevre, Esq.,

llighness and suite, after Visiting the hospital and
asylum, paid a farewell visit to her Royal llighness the
Princess Sophia, at Blackheath, and arrived in the royal
carriages at the Crown and Sceptre at half-past five.
Her Majesty's steamer Lightning was moored opposite
the house, and his Royal Highness embarked in the
William and Mary barge. at the Tavern Stairs, at half-
past eight. His Royal llighness condescendingly con-
veyed, through one of his suite, his approbation of the
entertainment. his Royal Highness looked extremely
well, and seemed much pleased, with his reception.
The juvenile band from Greenwich Hospital, by direc-
tion of Sir R. Stopford, were stationed in a vessel on the
water, and performed various national airs during dinner.
The embarkation, witnessed by an immense concourse
of spectators, was accomplished most satisfactorily, and.
the effect upon the water particularly interesting, every
object being clearly seen by the aid of blue lights from
the tavern. Immediately upon his Royal llighness
stepping on board, the Lightning got under way, amidst
the cheers of the multitude, and was expected to reach
Ostend by nine the following morning.

FOREBODINGS OF WINTER.—On Sunday evening,
a large Hoek of wild geese passed over Chesterfield, on
their way, it is supposed, to the fens of Lincolnshire.
Such a circumstance, at this early period of the season,
%%Ai hardly ever known, and it is considered to forebode
early and severe winter.--.NOttingham Review.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE

ficed, and the limbs of many more were lacerate
by the swords of the soldiery. Had the military
lined the streets of Dublin on Saturday, according to
the good old Tory custom, under the pretext of pre-
serving the public peace, it :is more than probable
that violence and bloodshed would have resulted from
their presence. This might hare happened ' about
any premeditation on the part of either the military
or the mob ; and solely from the propensity which
seems to impel a mob to prpv-oke asperity in the sol-
diery by refusing to conform to the regulations they
arc compelled to enforce ;. and often by resisting
their efforts to compel obedience to arbitrary regula-
tions.

STAN DA RD.—The abandonment by the lay Mem-
bers of the House of Lords of. their indisputable right
to assist in the decision:of the appeal a Mr. O'Con-
nel and his fellow-conspirators to that tribunal, has
been received in Dublin in precisely the spirit
which might have been anticipated for so
uncalled-for and undeserved a concession. The
reversal of the judgment by the three 'Whig
law Lords, albeit opposed-by two members of their
own rank, and eleven judges of the inferior
Courts, is treated by Mr. O'Connell and
his friends as a triumph (to employ the
agitator's own language)," Over an attempt to convict
eight honest men " of conditat of which they were
wholly guiltlesss ; and he proposes as the Clontarf
meeting was not held in consequence -of the inter-;
ference of the Government, that it shall be a matter
for the future consideration of the Repeal Association
whether it shall not still be:held; " in order to carry
out a principle, and shoW -that he and his fellow-
martyrs were right." Ile quotes the dictiun of-
Lord Denman in opposition to the opinion -
'of all hiS brother judges in and out of the
[Louse of Lords, in support of his audacious
charge of corruption against the jury and all the
judges, save the Spartan three by whom he has been
released. His approbation of the conduct of Lords
Cottenham and Campbell, however, is measured,
whilst his gratitude to Lord Denman is unbounded.
The two former joined in decreeing a reversal of
the judgment pronounced upon him; but the Lord
Chief Justice went a step further. in his behalf,
professing to found his decision on a plea which all
his brother judges were_ agreed in rejecting. Lord
Denman is, therefore, the one great authority to
which he refers for proof of his innocence. Lords
Cottenham and Campbell ' are very worthy and
conscientious people; they Opposed a very large
majority of judges to the full as honest and well-
informed with themselves, but it was reserved for
Lord Denman to differ from them all, and thus per-
fect Mr. O'Connell's title to the martyrdom for which
.he now claims credit. He only is altogether right,
because his judgment in their: favour is encumbered
with no awkward qualification. His solitary dictum,
therefore, is made the excuse for charging the
large majority of English and Irish judges,
.who
were unfortunate enough to differ from him, with
" foul and corrupt " administration of the
-law. Such is his gratitude to his Lordship
for turning the odds, which were, he admits, " a
million to one against him," in his favour. Nor is
the demonstration, it is said, to be limited to mere
.denunciations of those judges who were of opinion
that the judgment ought to be affirmed. Subscriptions
are to be raised, and possibly statues erected, to com-
memorate a triumph which Mr. O'Connell's newspaper
supporters do not scruple to designate as " accidental."
We cannot wonder at the dismay with which
this decision has been 'received in Ireland by all
who are not identified with the repeal conspiracy ;
calculated as it is to revive in its worst form the agi-
tation which has produced such baneful effects. We
have already referred to Mr. O'Connell's wary hint of
his intention, should the -Repeal Association deem it
desirable, to persist in holding a monster meet-
ins at Clontarf, and a Dublin paper re-
ceived this morning announces that the sug-
gestion has not only been adopted, but that a
day has been fixed for the meeting, and that it
is to be followed by others larger than those of last
year. Meanwhile the repeal journals are, if possible,
more violent than ever. The Nation, for example,
publishes suggestions of the most treasonable charac-
ter, both in prose and verse, as to the course to be
adopted by Mr. O'Connell's followers in the event
of any attempt at the invasion of our shores by a
foreign enemy. As a foretaste of the honours
which are destined by the repeal press for Lord Den-
man, the editor of the Freemans Journal has selected as
, the motto for his newspaper a passage from his
Lordship's judgment, which is paraded in large
type, and has reference to the omission of certain
-names from the jury, panel, which has formed
the stalking horse of . 'the traversers through-
out the proceedings ; and, which if other
than accidental, must have been the deliberate act of
parties connected with the traversers or their law ad-
visers ; committed for the express purpose of affording
the loop-hole for escape. of, which they have now
availed themselves. IVe.have repeatedly reminded our
readers that the only parties': who have not purged
themselves by affidavit from the imputation of
having wilfully suppressed the missing fragment are
those employes of the traversers who alone had
access to them. The "practices," therefore, re-
ferred to by Lord Denman,. are their own, and after
his decision, they will not fail to be repeated when-
ever any opportunity a thus invalidating a verdict
On a charge of conspiracy -:or sedition may pre-
sent itself. We have copied elsewhere the de-
tails of Mr. O'Connell's reception in Dublin.
The first step in his: new career of agitation
was a triumphal procession of 200,000 persons,
fo be succeeded a fewAays hence by a monster
banquet, and, as we have said, monster meetings at
Clontarf and elsewhere ; which, according to Mr.
O'Connell's interpretation of the law of Lords
Denman, Cottenham, and. Campbell, will be perfectly
legal and unexceptionable. Can we wonder that the
abrogation by the House of Lords of its just and law-
ful prerogative which has afforded the pretext for this
triumph over law and justice, should have excited the
deepest dismay among her Majesty's loyal sub.:ects
in Ireland ? The O'Connell organs speak of it "as
an overthrow, not Merely : of a Minister, but of
the English rule in Ireland;" and, although they
may be egregiously disappointed in their anticipation
of impunity for their further outrages, there can be
no doubt that it will prove a source of much trouble
and perplexity, unless vigorous measures be adopted
for the vindication of so much of the law as the
noble triumvirate of the House of Lords have been
pleased to recognise.

_MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
TIMES.—The delay in the arrival of the Indian mail is
Much aggravated by the consideration that through the
'want of a steam-boat at Alexandria, when the letters of
the 19th of July.by the intermediate mail from Calcutta
arrived, the merchants are deprived of advices from that
part of India as late as they could have had by the Bom-
bay mail now hourly looked for. Of the cause and
remedy of this the annexed letter treats very fully :
" September 7.
"It was generally known on Monday last that the
-Bentinck, bringing dates from Calcutta to the 19th of
July, arrived at Sucz on the 17th of August, and that
the letters by her were hourly expected at Alexandria,
when the French steamer le Caire left that port on the
20th ult. .

" If either of her Majesty's steamers had been waiting
at Alexandria, these letters from Calcutta, Madras,
Ceylon, and very likely some important news from
China, might have been:in London last Tuesday, and
answered this day' and thus'a month would have been
gained on them all.
" Perhaps your readers do not generally know that all
her Majesty's steamers which carry letters are under the
sole direction of the Admiralty, and therefore the evil
complained of in this .instance
.does not rest with the
Post-office department, Which is merely the executive,
but with the Admiralty, whose duty it is to have three
or four steamers always lying at Alexandria, to bring
on, as it ,may casually arrive, any eastern intelligence
to Malta, whence it should be forthwith sent by another
steamer to Marseilles, Where an Engli,li messenger
should be in charge of it to. the Post-otfice in London.
Therefore it lies with the Admiralty only to remedy the
present defective arrangementat Alexandria.
"When Mr. Waghorn, WhO projected the overland
route, was in Egypt, he attended to these matters ; and
samethree or four years age, when- there was no Eng-
lish steamer at Alexandria, heinduced the Pscha to lend
him one of his own, and brought on the letters that had
arrived there to Malts, whence- they were dispatches rut
Marseilles to London. Why does not our numerous
