Last Uour. oT Prince AIbor,


The London Tines of Monday, the 10th
ult, in its obituary notice of Prince Albert,
says:
The Prince himself had for some days a
melancholy conviction that his end was At
hand. The recent death of his relative, the
King OF Portugal, from similar disorder is
understood TO have bad an unfortunate Ia.
tluence upon him, and possibly assisted the
progress OF the malady. 1t is said that as
early as Wednesday morning the Prince ex
pressed his belief that he should not recover.
Thursday no material change took place in his
condition, and on Friday morning the Queen
took a drive, having at that time no suspi-
cion of immediate danger. When, however,
her Majesty returned to the Castle the ex.
t1emities Of the patient were already cold,
80 sudden had been the fresh access of the
disorder. The alarming bulletin of Friday
was then published. From that time the
state of the Prince was one of the greatest
danger. On Friday evening it was thought
probable that he would not survive the
night and the Prince of Wales, who had
been telegrapbed for to Cambridge, arrived
at the Castle by special train about o'clock
on Saturday morning. All night the Prince
continued very i'll, but in the forenoon of
Saturday change for the better took place.
Unhappily, it was only the rally which 80
Ol'eu pIOCtutS ulsSOluIlODj DuL IL gave great
hopes to the eminent physicians in attend
ance, and was communicated to the public
as soon as possible. The ray of hope was
fated soon to be quenched. About four
O'Clock in the afternoon q relapse took place,
and the Prince, who, from the time of his
severe seizure on Friday, had been sustained
by stimusnts, began gradually to sink. 1t
was half past four when the last bulletin was
issued, announcing that the patient was 10 a
critical state. From that time there was no
hope. When the improvement took place on
Saturday, it was agreed by the medical men
that, If the patient could be carried over one
more night, his life would in all probability
be saved. But the sudden failure of vital
power, which occurred in the afternoon,
frustrated these hopes. Congestion of the
lungs, the result Of complete exhaustion, set
in, the Princes breathing became continually
shorter and feebler, and he expired without
pain at few minutes before eleven o'clock.
He was sensible, and knew the Queen to the
last. The Duke of Cambridge and the fol-
lowing gentlemen connected with the Court
were present: General Bruce, Sir Charles
Phipps, General Grey, General Bentinck,
Lord Alfred Paget, Major Du Plat, General
Seymour, Colonel Elphinstone, aud the Dean
of windsor. 1t must have cheered the last
moments of the illustrious patient to see his
wife and nearly all his children round his
he'd

EDITOR PREss-Sir: We beg leave, through
the medium of your excellent journal, to
make known to your Newport readers and
our friends there few facts regarding our
regiment, the Twenty-third Kentucky, here
tofore called the Tenth We wish to state
for the information of the public, that we
have, over and over, called the attention Of
our chief commanders to the Wretched food
we are supplied with, in the shape of bread
made of the most inferior flour, and baked
wretchedly; the meat also being very often
the refuse of the market, or, to speak more
proper, what the butcher has left after his
days sale. Another grievance which we
complain of and which we condemn in the
most uhequiYocal terms, is the exclusiveuess
and partiality of some of our officers. Their
conduct in this form is as mean as 1t is
wretched, as miserable as il is impolitic; for,
if persisted in, it will become fruitful
source of Generalization of the men. It is a
notorious fact that there are instances of
premiums being bestowed upon roWdyism.
And let an ordinarily quiet man commit a
like offense, and he is punished instanter.
Such is the rule In our too truly character.

"Why is it' inquired Christian brother
the other day, "that the Fulton-street
Prayer-Meetings are so we'll attended, and
80 eminently spiritual and interesting, while
most of the other meetings are cold and al
most deserted"

the admirable fve-minute arrangement for
prayer and exhortation, under God, has ac-
complished il" -
In this brief dialogue there is much for
serious reflection. 1t is fact not to be de-
MED, that most of the weekly prayer.meet-
ings connected with the churches in this
city, are in q deplorable state of desertion
and stupidity. They are cold, and conse
euently heartless. They are dull, and, of
tractive, and, of necessity they repel
rather than invite worshipers. No FIVE.
minute rule exists even by respectable
| usage, but some of the brethren travel the
| t'round world over in pursuit of topics on
which to elaborate and expound, when they
rise to lead in the devotions. They exhaust
themselves and their hearers, and aid in
killing the spirituality of the meeting, if
any exists at the time they stake the floor"
1t was only the other evening, in the

Long wandering prayers are the bane of
devotional meetings, and should be discOun-
tenanced and abandoned. .p
The rigidity and formal manner in which
many prayer meetings are conducted, crush
out heart freedom, and prevent the rise and
glow of spirituality. There is nothing o.
the kind in Fulton street. No long prayers
no extended, weary exhortations, no singing
of hymns of six and eight verses, each one
to be read through entire by the presiding
officer. No calling habituelly upon certain
brethren to pray, and no weary waiting fol
somebody to rise, when the "meeting is Oper

songs of praise, the fresh religious expe

Benham,s Gaze Only Postponed.

WAsHINeToE, January 3-The reporter for
the Associated Press did not, as is alleged
report or circulate the report that General
Mcclellan had dismissed the charges brought
by igadier-General Rosecrans against
General Benham, nor has he until now said
a single word upon the subject. The facts are
briefly these:
The charges involve the conduct of Gen.
eral Benbam as to the pursuit of General
Floyd, and the cause Of the escape of the lat
ter with his army. General Benham has
denied the truth Of the charges, and asked
for court martial, but this was refused at
the present time, from the fact that the chief
witnesses are attached 10 the army of West
ern Virginia, and are now serving in Ken
lucky, and can not be even temporarily
withdrawn. In other words, the trial ia

AN UNFoRTUNATE FACT.-A gentleman in
this city, who was present at New Madrid
last August, tells the following: 1t will be
RENE mbered that one of the Confederate
gunboats came up to Columbus and captured
the little steamer Equality. At that time
General Pillow was in command at New
Madrid, under General Polk. The latter
had just paid visit to New Madrid when
the capture of the Equahtg occurred. As
the Confederate gunboat retreated down the
Mississippi with her prize, she was followed
by the United States gunboats Lexington aud
A. o. 1ylor. A sharp cannonading took
place to within few miles of New Madrid.
General Polk, hearing the cannonading, in
his fear, imagined that the United States
forces were coming after him, and hastily
back upon Randolph, himself retreated on
board the steamer Wm. n. Morrison and left
for Memphis At that time the MorrisoH and
Ohio Belle were all the steamers at New Ma
drid, and the cowsrdice Of the act was in
taking the largest and swiftest boat for him

the Michigan Legislature convened at Lam

from reimbursing the State, on account of
war expenses, to an equal amount.
Twenty-four thousand men have been fur

artillery, and one regiment of three-montbs
volunteers, have been raised at the expense
of the State, costing $539,OOO, of which
$4,000 have been refunded by the United
States Government.
In view of the manifest disposition of
foreign powers to intermeddle in our domes-

Decision of an Important Land Case
Mileage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3,-The long contested
land claim between James H. Lane and
Gsius jenkins, involving the title to a val
liable quarter section of land adjoining
Lawrence, Kansas, has been finally decided
by the Commissioner of the Land Office, the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the Sec
retsry of the Interior, unequivocally In favor
of General Lane.
The merits of the case have been exhausti-
bly, presented on both sides by eminent lie
gal advisers and involved the original par
ties in all personal conflict on the claim, re
sulting in the wounding of General Lane
and the death OF Gaius Jenkins. The case
has excited great interest throughout legal
circles, the various departments and the
country at large. The decision vindicsting
General Lane in his right to the property
was rendered on the last day of December.
At the commencement of this year Gen.
eral Lane presented to the attorney of Mrs.
Jackson the sum of $1,000, as q free will
