Visit of Prince Alfred.— ln accordance with Admiralty orders, which have been received at Chatham, the whole of the sea stores of the Racoon, 22, screw corvette, are being taken out of the storerooms in the dockyard, and .placed on board that vessel. The Racoon has recently undergone extensive repairs at Chatham, and has been fitted up in a style of much elegance, it being intended that she shall hoist the pendant of Captain His Serene Highness Count Victor of Hohenlohe, to convey His Royal Highness Prince Alfred on a visit to Australia ; but His Royal Highness being at the present time absent from the country, it has been decided to place her in the first class steam reserve until his return, which it is anticipated will take place in about two months. — MtchelVs Register, August 9.
