The Prince still suffers from the injury to the muscles of the back, but the wound is quite healed. The date of his departure is not positively fixed. The Sydney Mail thinks the Prince will come to New Zealand, and from thence proceed direct to England. The folio wing items have been tele graphed to the Lyttelton Times :—Prince Alfred replied, on March 19, to addressess trom all parts of the Colony. The following is part of his reply :—“ The cowardly act of one individual has not in anr decree sha ken my confidence in the loyalty of the people of this colony towards the throne and person of her Majesty, or in their affection for myself; and I shall gladly convey to the Queen the universal expression of horror and indignation which the attempt to assassinate me has culled forth from her Majesty’s faithful subjects in Australia.” On March 24 the Prince was sufficiently recovered to visit the Galatea. Ills appearance in harbor was unexpected, but caused a great naval demonstration. His Royal Highness was greatly affected. On reaching the deck of his ship, he was overpowered by the welcome from his men, and obliged to retire to his cabin to compose himself. Afterwards, he proceeded to inspect the refitting of the Galatea, and then returned to shore.
