MORNINGLEADER.


OF al the royal children Of whom Eng
land has such good reason TO be proud,
not one is q greater favorite with the Eng
Esh public than Prince Alfred, who is said
BY every one about the court, to be re-
markably clever spirited lad, strong in
person, lively, with very firm will, and
quick at repartee:
H His elder brother is extremely amiable,
Of charming address, and in manner most
thoroughly gentlemanly; but ne doe 8 not
possess the strength either Of muscle or Of
mind that distinguished the young royal
mildly In their boyish quarrels, the
younger brother invariably had the upper
hand, being a greater proficient both in
Bcolding and at fsticufs, than the heir TO
the British crown, being moreover, desLin-
ed TO wear q little crown Of his own, and
therefore not restrained in his bellicose
tendencies by an idea of Difference towards
his brothor as his future sovereign.
"One day Prince Alfred was told that
one Of his young companions had great
desire to be introduced to the prince of
Wales. You want to know Wales, do you2
said Prince Alfred, when he nextsaw the
boy in question.

"0n one occasion, when the amiable
Dean of-was dining at Windsor, he hap
pened to sit next to Prince Alfred, who
was having the last holiday that fell to his
lot before the lsmented decease Ofthe Prince
Consort. The young MILDLY kept up an
animated talk with his reverend friend,
telling him, though in the low tone which
etiquette preseribes at the royal tablo un-
less in answer 10 some observation address,
ed to a guest by her Majesty, of his life on
shipbOard, and his adventures in the va

The marriage of the Prince Of Wales
and tho Princess of Denmark, has already
been formally arranged, 80 prompt have
been the movement of all parties interest
ed The young lovers (ss they are said
and believed to be, with the father of the
Princess, have just travelled together to pay
their respects to Queen Victoria at her Ger
man retreat. 1t is understood that nuptials
will take place very soon after the expira-
tion Of the years royal mOurning-prob-
ably in January next. Il is now alleged
that the late Prince Albert had his eye on
this match, and would himself have pro-
posed il, had he lived, at the proper time.
The Russian Court has been absent from
st. Petersburg the greater part of the sum
mer. The Emperor has just returned ftom
q weeks visit to Moscow, which is still
more truly the Russian capital than that
city. Gen. Cameron left and returned on
the same day as his Majesty, profting by
the occasion 10 make acquaintance with
the most interesting portion Of the empire.
Winans, Harrison, & Co, who built and have
for twelve years successfully conducted the
railroad between the two cities, placed a
special car on the train for the accommod-
alton Of our Minister and his family. They
also made arrangements for his entertain
ment at the stations on the road, and treat
ed him with splendid hospitality during
his stay in Moscow. In addition to his
family, Mr.. Bayard Taylor, Secretary of
Legation, and Mr.. Josiah Pierce, Jr., for
meTly secretary, accompanied him.
This railroad, the result Of American en-
terprise and Russian power, is unquestion-
ably the finest in the world. Il is a single
machine, perfect in all its parts, and un-
der the management Of Winans & Co., has
been running like a Waltham watch. Dur
ing the twelve years of its operation not
single person has been injured. The 10
eomotives are made exactly alike, so that
any part Of one fits all the others; the
stations are established regular distenoesf
every verst Of the track Is guarded night
and day, and the precautions are so COM
plete that il seems impossible for human
3uEouu1gy 10 u5vtHU an fm Improvement.
Prince Alfred, who was there recently,
declared this railroad was the greatest
thing he had seen in Russia.
