By the bark Day Da,cn, at San Francisco FROM
Sydney, we have dates from australia, to April
18th:
DEPARTURE or PRINcE ALFREp-Prince Alfred
sailed from sydney on Monday, April Sth. On the
day that his ship, the Galdfed. sailed. the Prince
was honored with a farewell luncheon, 81 the Gov
eminent House, where the Gov. Lord B.In,ore, had
invited IS of the leading coloDsts to bid Hs Royal
Highness alden. In response To a toast offered by
Lord Belmore, the Prince said
Gentlemen In returning you my best thanks
for drinking my health. l must express my regret
at having to bid you farewell, and L take this OPP
portunity of thanking you for the enthusiastic and
hospitable manner In which l have been received
and entertained in this. as well as in all the Aus
tralian Colonies. The universal manifestations OF
loyalty to the Queen, and attachment 10 her person
and throne. have ere this been made known TO Her
Majesty. and cannot fail TO have given her the
liveliest pleasure 1 must here. however. allude to
the unfortunate occurrence connected with myself.
which married your festivities and cast a temporary
gloom over the community. sincerely regret. on
your part, that there should have been any oEe iuci-
dent during my sojourn amongst yon which shosA
have detracted from the general satisfaction. which,
believe, my visit to Australia has giveu. The event,
however, cannot in any degree shake my conviction
of the loyalty of the Colonists at large, nor Her
Majesty's confidence In her Australian subjects. In-
deed. the meetings, and expressions of sentiments,
which have been called forth by the recent atsempt
on my life. will show their fellow-subjects at hcne,
and the world at large. they not on.- have loyalty,
but affection for their Queen and her family. II there
is any disafection, tending to disloyalty, amongst
any section of the community. in any portion of
Her Majesty's dominions. it will be the duty of the
Government TO putt down ; and 1 am certain that
here 1T will receive every support from all classes.
Through the merciful inierposition of Providence,
the injury l received was but slight. and / believe
no further evil consequences are to be anticipated
from the wound : il has. however. been considered
that L shall be unequal to any great exertion for
some time, and therefore decided that il would be
most advisable for me to return home direct. Ii is
a great disappointment for me not TO be able to visit
New Zealand. and l am afraid it will also very
much disappoint the people there. In thanking
YOU once more for your kindness TO me during my
visit, j must tell you how much l have enjoyed it,
and regret that it comes to an end to-day. Before
I conclude, I will ask you 10 join me in a toast. /
propose Prosperity to theColony of New South
Wales y and as this is the last opportunity l shall
have of addressing an assembly of Australians, /
beg to couple with the toast, Prosperity to all the
Australian Colonies"
