| Sebve Them Right.—The Adelaide .correspondent of the Hamilton Spectator [writes as follows respecting the departure jof the Trincc from South Australia:— Telegrams from Melbourne bring to our [ears accounts of princely glories in that city | which are now to us thing's of the past. But [the prince did not get away from us without some disagreeables, and occasioning jsome heartburnings to the mannerless mobs w-ho would be for ever pressing their medjiesomo and unwelcome tongues in every | matter. The Prince invited a party on jboard the Galatea on the day of his emjbarkatiou, to drink a social farewell glass ,jwith him. Surely, after throwing open his t°“ 5 P during the most of his stay here, and igiving members of Parliament an exclusive day to themselves, the Duke might have with whom he pleased. But not so. The bad taste of some of our colonial aristocratic dunkeys pestered him to the last. The • uFSt uGat, containing tbc inTitsd contained also many uninvited, who, once getting on board could not from delicacy be ordered off. But when the second boat came off, bis Royal Highness was their match. A lot o! names were called and those who could answer ascended the vessel's side. But when the words ‘That’s all —shove off,’ came, three M P.’s were still in tne boat, and were conducted back to ; the port rn humility and dishonor, to meet there with such a hooting reception from ■ the assembled crowd as might have made the Sends pity them.’’
