INTENDED REVIEW AT WINDSOR ON THE
ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
The three troops of the Royal Horse Artillery utder
the command of Colonel Dyneley, -C.8., will march from
Woolwich to-morrow for Windsor. On the first night
they will be billetted at Kingston, and on the second at
Staines or its neighbourhood, to be in readiness on the
day of the christening, when their services will be re-
quired. One of the troops is a rocket troop, and the men
have been actively employedin Making preparations for
a grand display during their stay at Windsor.
The orders issued for the Life Guards to hold them-
selves in readiness' to attend- the King of Prussia from
Greenwich to Wandsworth; where they will be relieved
by the 11th Light Dragoons (Prince Albert's own Hus
stirs), and be by them escorted to Windsor, still remain
uncountermanded ; and that is the present fixed route by
which his Majesty the King of Pri,ssia will proceed im-
mediately after landing at Greenwich.
During the dense fog which prevailed on Wednesday
morning, the Firebrand. steam-vessel, in going down
the river, came in contact with 'another large steam.
vessel, and by the collision the Firebrand lost part of
her figure-head:, The .Shearwater steam-vessel, one of
the vessels composing the squadron, ran aground during
the fog in Northfleethope, and the Firebrand and
Lightning steam-vessels had to remain there until the
Monkey arrived from Woolwich to assist in towing the
Shearwater off. The Monkey._ returned to Woolwich to-
day, and the others proceeded: to Ostend. It is now
scarcely possible the, king' of Prussia can arrive in this
country before Saturday. It is expected the Royal party
will at once embark in the steam-vessels, and that they
will return without waiting for the company of the sail-
ing vessels, and that the latter, after firing a Royal sa-
-I,ite in the British Channel, will return to their respee-
tive' posts, owing to the unfavourable season of the year.
ROYAL MARINES.
The whole of the Royal Marines in the garrison at
Woolwich fit for duty assembled this forenoon with
their Officers and with the. detachment from Chatham,
all under the command of Colonel Conolly, their Com-
mandant, and went throbgh all the exercises in a
highly creditable manner which they will have to per-
form on the landing of the King of Prussia at Green-
wich. The officers carrying -the colours of the corps
were also present, and the spectacle was very animated,
as the number of the men is larger than has been the
ease for some time, owing to the recent addition of the
detachment which had served in the Powerful and a
considerable acquisition of recruits.
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Rhadamanthus steam frigate and troop-ship,
Master Commander Thomirtien, left Woolwich on
Monday afternoon for the Mediterranean. Captain Dun-
lop and 11 gunners and drivers, to complete the company
of the Royal Artillery at Corfu, embarked at the dock-
yard here for a passage to their destination. Fifteen
women and about as many children, the wives and fami-
lies of the men of the Royal Artillery stationed at Corfu,
obtained a passage in the Rhadamanthus. Maor
Vicars's company of the Royal Sappers and MinerS, under
the charge of Lieutenant Ford of the Royal Engineers,
embarked at the same time ; and it is a circumstance
worthy of record to show the steadiness of the corps,
that not one single man of the company was absent from
the barracks on the previous evening after the usual
hour. Sixteen women and about thirty children, the
wives and families of the Nen of, the company, accom-
panied them on board for a passage to Corfu, where they
arc to be stationed. Three very respectable-looking
females cried bitterly on being refused a pasiage with
their husbands, on its being ascertained; that although
they might have been legally married, their husbands
had not asked the consent of their commanding officer—
an excellent regulation in the army to prevent the pos-
sibility of any soldier marrying twice or oftener, which
might be the case if there were not a check of this de-
icription.
The Prince Regent, transport-ship, has been at Dept-
ford for some time receiving stores on board, and is
ordered to drop down to moorings opposite the. Royal
Arsenal, where the following troops will embark 'in the
early part of next week for Berfnuda :—Major Moles-
worth's company, 6th battalktn_of the Royal Artillery,
to relieve Major Wood's Company, Bth battalion ; the
latter hiving gone abroad on the 9th of November, 1835,
have consequently been upwards of six years on the
i3ermuda station. Captain 13eresford will take the com-
mand of the company, as Major Molesworth will not
proceed abroad at present. A company of the Royal
Sappers and Miners embark at the same time in the
Prince Regent transport, consisting of. 90 effective men,
under the command of Captain Fenwick, Royal Engi-
neers ; Lieutenant Jenkin and second Lieutenant Gray,
of the Royal Engineers, have also been ordered to pro-
ceed with the company. This company is not to relieve
any other, being the first time a full company has been
ordered to Bermuda.

We mentioned some time ago that .a challenge
to fight a duel had been given to General Levasseur
by M. Arrighi, a chef de bataillon on the retired
list, in consequence of some offence from the former
to the latter. The principals had arrived at Mar-
seilles for the purpose of fighting the duel, but it ap-
pears from a letter in the Seinali4ore, signed by Messrs.
de Lescazes, Falcon, and Bernard, who were to act as
the seconds of General. Levasseur, that the conditions
of the duel have been refused -by that gentleman and his
second, M. Casabiaaca. The seconds of General Levas-
seur state that, when they proposed to those gentlemen a
.duel with pistols, at a distatice of thirty paces, they re-
plied that they would not consent to a greater distance
than from six to ten paces. In consequence of this con-
duct, the seconds of General Levasseur have desired that
he should renounce the idea: of a duel, and throw himself
upon public opinion.
On Friday last we were shown a note for 5/.,
of the bank of Messrs. Clarke, Mitchell, Phillips, and
Smith, with an endorsement . somewhat unusual in bills
of that kind. It was to this effect
Farewell my note—and vvhereSoe'er you wend
Leave gaudy scenes, and lie the poor man's friend
You've left a poor one—go-to one as poor,
And drive despair and hunger from his dcor.

The Diario di Roma gives an account of the
progress of the evening schools for the instruction of
men in the -pontifiCal capital, the rules for
,
laid
down by the vicar-general, Cardinal

iingwere
Della Porta, last June. These schools have greatly
multiplied in Rome, and the Government is urging
fathers of families and masters to send to them their chil-
dren and apprentices. The clergy also lend their exer-
tions to the promotion of this branch of education.

Henry Flint. Deceased was bailiff in the service of Mr.
Bisshopp, and went with two other men into Houghton
forest to collect leaves for their master's pine pits; and
seeing a dead beech tree standing, the men began to cut
it down for their own use, and fixed a rope round the
top of the tree and all three pulled, when tho tree sud-
denly snapped and fell upon deceased, who died from the
injury he received in about a quarter, of an hour. Ver-
dict—" Accidentally killed.'!
