THe Duke of Edinburgh has been gazetted a Rear Admiral, ana ere long his flag will be flying at the head of the largest ship in the British Navy. He has been a good deal afloat and has seen service in the Mediterranean, Australia and Canada. He is looked on as a

smart officer, though much of a martinet, like |

his grandfather, the Duke of Kent.

For several days the Rockhead prisoners |

have been empleyed levelling the snow on the streets of Halifax, but on Saturday they struck work, on the plea of being fed only on hard biseuit, frozen meat and cold water. Afier considerable persuasion they were induced to resume work, and the mat- ter will be investigated by the Commission.

A MAN named John Treanor, farmer, of De- Sable, was yesterday summoned before Theoph. DesBrisay, Esq., J. P., at the instance of Felix Rush, for fraud. ‘Treanor, it is alleged, fraudently received from Rush, last Novem- ber, three dollars and twenty-four cents in excess of the real price of a pig which Mr. Rush bought from him at the market. ‘The trial has been postponed til] Vriday.

Ir is said that steps will be taken to prevent the practice, now teo much in vogue, ot bring- ing extraneous influences, political or other- wise, to bear on the heads of departments of the Government for the purpose of interiering with the status or advancemeut of Govern- ment employees, with the object of making the position or promotion of such employees solely dependent upon merit and_ ability. This is a wise decision, and cannot fail to have a salutory influence on the standing of the service.

On the anniversary of Pope Pius IX’s death, February 7th, there was celebrated in St. Peter’s Church at Rome a solemn funeral, at which not only all the Cardinals and Prelates in the city were present, but also all the Bishops in the Kingdom. The funeral service took place with closed doors, and only those who had tickets signed by Cardinal Nina were allowed entrance, as Pope Leo XII. assisted personally at the Mass, and gave the customary absolution.

A PUN-sTRUCK correspondent writes: A gordon to present lea-nings, the yeo-manry of P. E. Island will soon beer-id of the Lo- cal Government. They gavin at the Tig- nish election perry-emptorily. One by one they waste away, though whimsi-kelly con- sidering themselves popular. They in a stew ar t-erribly mixed up, and ar so know-n through the country, ddvies-tation awaits them. It would, indeed be consider-d odd if it did not.

Passinc the Skating Rink to-day, our re- porter’s attention was attracted by a consider- able *‘ bustle” round the doors. Entering the Rink, to make enquiries, he was astonished to

find that the decorations for the Carnival, to

be held to-morrow (Thursday) night, were well nigh completed, and that never before has the Rink donned such a gala-day attire. Under the tasteful management of Mr. Sweeney (who is well known for decorative ability) the Rink has been made to assume the appearance of “Fairyland,” and now needs only the eloes (whom, we presume, will muster in force to- morrow night), to complete the enchantment, Further inquiries elicted the fact that the Di- rectors contidently anticipate that this Carnival will eclipse any of those previously held, as the entmes ‘‘in costume” are More numerous, striking and attractive.

The Princess of Tanjere, who has not only made her appearance in public, but

rmitted the Governor of Madras to invest

er with the insignia of the Star of India, is the most highly educated Princess in the Orient. She owes her intellectual culture to the aid of an accomplished young Ger- man lady, and has made considerable pro- gress in English. An eye witness of the ceremony says that her slight figure and charming face at once gained the sympathy of all. Over a plain and straight dress of cloth of gold, with a girdle of the same stuff, she wore an emerald green silk fichn, most beautifully ornamented with jewels and embroidery, and her head-dress seemed to be a sort of turban. A female attend-

ant carried a splendid sword.
