'The event of Inst' week was the visit this port of Prince Heinrich of Pru HLRAH, arrived from Matsu on the 29th of April at 3 p.m. accompanied by his nide-de-camp and several German officers. After a short visit at the Club, he was entertained at the German Consulate by Mr. G. Siemssen. At the dinner the Prince, who presided, had Mrs. Siemssen on his right and the Commissioner of Customs on his left; Mr. Siemssen, as vis-clevis, had the nide-de-camp of the Prince on his right and the British Consul ow his left.
During the course of the dinner, a toast tothe ""Kmperor of Germany," and another to Queen Victoria," were disposed of writh enthusiasm by all present. After a game of pool the Prince retired.
"The next morning H.R.H. took an early swallo in the settlement, through the suburbs of the Chinese city, and left Foochow at about noon for Sharp Peak, accompanied by the German Consul to whom he announerd his intention to visit the port again after the summer and to make several of those beautiful excursions for which Foochow is famous.
"All those who had the honour to approach the Prince are unanimous, in praising his Pee our la issue FLT.G.BE erfect cordiality.
Gofion, Deutschland, and Kaiserin Aw have left Matsu, H.M.S. Daphne remains at Pagoda. The Descartes and Jean Bart are also there. A good deal of uneasy feeling is rife among the natives in the city and here about the prolonged stay of the French ships. It has again been rumoured during the week that an attempt vould be made by the French to land men at the Arsenal, and this doubtless is the cause for the anxiety.
