The Prince Of Wales.—Information Has Bee...
The Prince of Wales . —Information has been received by her Majesty of the departure of his Royal Highness from Rome for Civita Vecchia , where he embarked on board her Majesty ' s ship Scourge to proceed to Gibraltar . Prince Alfred . —A letter from Bey rout informs us that a more sensible course has been taken lately by those who have the care of the royal midshipman . When the Euryalus anchored in the Beyrout Roads , the . Pacha , attended by all the civil and military functionaries of the province , went on board to pay their respects to the prince . They could not understand ho \ v it was that the son of a reigning sovereign could possibly waive his rank whilst
The CorRT . —Her Majesty and the royal family returned to Buckingham Palace from Windsor on Wednesday . On Tuesday the Duke of Saxe-Coburg took his leave and returned to the continent . The Queen ' s dinner party on Thursday included the Princess Alice , the Baron de Beust , the Marquis of Exeter , Earl de la Warr , Earl of Malmesbury , Major General the Right Hon .

learning his profession . They were , however , received on board by the captain , and although introduced to the prince , were told that he was to be considered as a simple midshipman of the frigate . They were much surprised , and still more disappointed , when told that the prince was only a young man learning his"duty as a naval officer . They can hardly understand this , but yet they admire the stern discipline which makes no distinction between the son of the sovereign and the son of a subject . They have magnified Major Cowell ' s rank into that of a general officer , and believe that the prince is attended by a general wherever he goes . Many of the more wealthy chiefs brought down with them
Court of Aldermen . —A court was iu » i , i Tuesday , the Lord Mayor presiding " Mr < L ? £ Conder , alderman elect for the ward of Bassi-lT was introduced , and took the usual oaths Xnr ' tion was presented from Samuel Oldfieid and rof Hull , complaining of the conduct of EdwnSi Sampson Hogg , a Russia broker , from which thl * had sustained loss , and praying that his suretio = might be ordered to make good that loss . The Ctil Solicitor was directed to sue the parties unless th « money was paid forthwith . A petition vas ur 7 sented from the inhabitants of Cornhill , in relation to obstruction in the traffic from persons with barrows and others selling fruit in the streets Th petition was referred to the general purpose com inittee , after some discussion , and the court ad * journed . . This Duke of Leeds . —We have to record the death of the Duke of Leeds , who expired at half-past four o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon , after a short but severe illness . In default of issue , the dukedo m and other dignities devolve upon his cousin , Lord Godolphin , eldest son of the first peer of that title who was elder brother of the late duke ' s fatlier . ' Common Council . —The Court on Thursday voted the sum of one hundered guineas to the Neapolitan exiles , not , as the speakers were careful to say , from a charitable motive alone , but in vindication of the great principle of freedom . The election of judge of the ; Sheriffs' Court then took place . There were a great , many candidates , hut n , o $ fc of them received very little support . Mr . Ken was ultimately elected by a majority of two over ilr . Corrie . . ¦ .
Sunday Law in Chichester . —Edward Blyde , who is a vendor of sweetmeats consumed . by children ' , has been twice before the bench charged with trading on a Sunday . His shop is visited on a Sunday afternoon principally by children who have a halfpenny to spend . He was last week convicted of the serious offenee of selling an orange and a pennyworth of pear-drops on a Sunday . Monstrous fruiterer ! For this diabolical offence the culprit > vas fined " 5 s ., and 9 s . costs ; " in default , a distress warrant to issue , " and if this should nofr . prod . uee the amount , defendant to be exposed for six hours in the stocks ! " Thus 6 aid the Agnewiie magistrates , of the city . — -West Sussex Gazette . The Paris correspondent of the Brussels Ijidepcivdanc . p . says that the Emperor has given a private audience to a cardinal sent on a mission to the
French Government ,, and that his holiness persists in retaining the power of leaving Home iu certain eventualities . ~ The Nord states the daughter of Baron Ilubner , the late Austrian Minister at Paris , remains in that city , and will shortly be married to M . de Banneville , the late representative of France at Vienna . The French Navy .- —The Ocean dc Brest states that the marines on temporary leave have been recalled , and those who have completed their time of service arc not to be discharged . The recall uf the officers extends to those who have the rank of captain of frigate . The permanent levy will be extended to all quartermasters and seamen from twenty to torty years of age , having had loss . than four yeiu's' service in the State , and who have been discharged upwards of a year . The marines called out will sml on urgent serviceand will receive double pay . *
, Italy and the French . —It is announced that a public meeting . will be held in Ilydc-pavk , tomorrow , May 8 , at three o ' clock , tu express tho thanks of the people to the Emperor . Napoleon and tho French nation , " for . their support of HW )> justice , and independanco in Italy , against tlio political tyranny and papistical and Intolerruit Persecutions of Austria , " the old radical Dr . U ebb ,, of Marylobono , will take the chair , on the review uifc , ground , near the Marble Arch .
horses , arms , and other . valuables , which they intended to beg his Royal Highness to accept of , and cannot comprehend how it is that he would not be allowed to receive them . In short , there has been no more fuss made about the Euryalus and Prince Alfred than there would have been about any other large frigate , one of whose midshipmen was furnished with good letters of introduction . The Euryalus leaves to-morrow either for Malta or Constantinople . The Liberator !—War is declared , and France is in , its element . Louis Napoleon has appointed himself the liberator of Italy , and the French people , grateful for the freedom which he has secured to them , are enchanted with his magnanimity , rejoice already in his expected triumphs , and place the
crown of the viotor upon the Imperial brow . When Italy is free , they may begin , to think about themselves again ; at present enthusiasm takes the place of self-interest ; and self-esteem , and the sacrifice would be complete were it not for the glory in prospect which enters into the popular bargain , Tho cards have been well arranged , the game is well set out , the tricks are all counted before they are taken , and the chances of loss are set aside as unworthy of consideration by a generous and noble nation . All political , commercial , and grovelling calculations are put out of the question , and Franco enters upon the now crusade with the energy of youth , and the . trusting confidence of a grateful slave . May the result be as satisfactory as the prontfse is dazzling , and may independent Italy be the forerunner of tree and enlightened Franco !—*
