Tue Duke of Edinburgh, who is not only a royal personage, but something of a vielinist recently appeared at a concert of the ‘* Royal Albert Hall Amateur So- ciety,” when, according to the London Figaro, the following musica] and dra- matic scene took place :—‘‘The Duke was asked to play, but he excused himself on the perfectly justifiable ground that the conductor, Mr. George Mount, had foolish- ly omitted to put the Duke’s fiddle preper- ly intune. The Duke was then called to the conductor’s desk, and the first violin, drawing a crumbled slip from his waist- coat pocket, read what purported to be an address of welcome of the Duke to Eng- land. The affair was, of course, purely an impremptu one, but the Duke, doubtless imagining in advance that which actually took place, had provided himself with a re- ply. He drew another crumpled slip from his pocket, and stammered a goed deal over the following eloyuent oration :—‘‘I am very much obliged to all my kind friends, and am very thankful for the magnificent reception you have given ie. I intend, that is to say, I hope I intend, which is to say I should like to say I hopel should like to say I should like to attend, or rather to show my gratitude by attending as punc- tually as my many engagements will permit the rehearsals so excellantly,admirably ana elegantly conducted by our good friend Georgie Mount.”

Tue Zulu king—Cetewayo-—has apeculiar way of responding to ultimstuns. One of the demands formulated in the ultimatum sent forward at the clese of last year to his Majesty by Sir Fartie Frere, Governor- General of British South Africa, was that henceforth he should not on any pretence, without previous and fair trial, put his sub- jects to death. This demand incensed his Majesty greatly. He arose in his wrath and instantly ordered that the men, women and children of three villages, accused or suspected of withcraft, should be massacred. The peor creatures thus doomed to death numbered sixty in all, and they were all

murdered, as ordered by the dusky tyrant.

| Marine’ and Fisheries Report. We have received the Eleventh Annual Report of the Department of Marine and Fisheries for the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1878. An examination of its pages show that the fisheries are improving, and that their produce compares favorably with the returns of the preceding year. In‘1877 it was valued at $12,029,957, and in 1878 at $13,373,486, being an increase of nearly half a million dollars. The value of fish exported was $6,929,. 366, against $5,874,368 in 1877, being an increase of $1,055,006. The value of fish imported into the Dominion and entered for domestic consumption was $1,300,468, against $1,360,350 in 1877, or a decrease of $66,882. The returns of the several Provinces are not given, so that we can offer no com- parsion of the returns of each. But we find that Ontario has absorbed no less than $12,723 in the protection of her compara- tively small fisheries, and Quebec no less than $13,662, while Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, which yield more than twe- thirds of the whole catch, has received but $15,292 for the former Province, and $10,- 926 for the latter. Possibly the reason the yield of each Province is not given, is to hide this great discrepancy in the apper- tionment of the sum voted by Parliament for the protection of the fisheries. ; Under the head of Fish Breeding, we find that Ontario has had $5,234, Quebec $7,059, Nova Scetia but $3,550, and New Brunswick only $1,468, while Prince Ed- ward Island has been entirely neglected in this respect. The whole amount she re- ceived for the protection of her fisheries, which far exceed those of Ontario, was $1,836.

An Unlucky English Regiment.

(From the Washington Capital.)

The recent fate of the 24th Regiment of the British line in Zululand is peculiarly melancholy. The regiment is nearly 200 years old, having been originally embodied by William of Orange in 1691, for service in the Flemish War and the Netherlands. Its record shows a tour of service unsur- passed by any other regiment of the British army for variety and hard knocks, and it has always been unlucky. Its first experi- ence was a disaster, being almost annihi- lated at the battle of Steenkirke, when it was hardly two years old. Subsequently it suffered out of all proportion to its comrades at Blenhein, Ramilies and Malplaquet, and was finally relieved and sent home, in the latter part of Queen Anne's War, in conse- quense of the impossibility of keeping its ranks recruited. Forty years afterward it had an almost similar experience on the same ground, in the war of the succession, and still later, in the 18th Century, it suf- fered immense losses, and was at last cap- tured bodily in the American Revolution. Returning to England, it enjoyed only a few years of rest when it was sent to Egypt, and participated in Sir Ralph Abererombie’s operations, where its bad luck did not de- sert it. Thence the regiment went to the Peninsula, where it campaigned five years, sutlering, as usual, beyond all proportion. It was foremost at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo and St. Sebastian; in the defiles of the Pyrenees; in the forcing of the passage of the Bidassoa and Nine, and in the battles of Nivelle, Orthes and Toulouse. It escaped Waterloo only by coming to

America, after the first abdication of Napoleon, and _ participating in the operations which terminated the war ef 1812 in humiliation to the

arms of England. Then it was sent to India where it had a hard round of service under Ceombermere, Hardinge, and Napier, suffer- ing, as usual, excessively in the first Sikh war. It was no novice at the Cape, either, for it had already borne the brunt of two Caffir wars, and had done as much to estab- lish British rule in that quarter as any other regiment that ever served there. In short England has had only one great war in nearly two hundred years, in which the old 124th has not bourne a hand. That one was the Crimean war, which it escaped chiefly on account of the sympathy at the Horse Guards for its unlucky tradition, and thongh it was on the roster for foreign ser- vice when the Crimean expedition was made up, another regiment was detailed to take its place, and it was sent to one of the colonies. Finally, after nearly two hun- dred years of slaughter in every clime, and in battle against every enemy of England, civilized or barbarous, the 24th has been annihilated by savages in South Africa. ee ern
