A PRINCE IN AUSTRALIA.-Prince Alfred, Victoria's second son, is at present making a grand tour around the world, and, appearing recently in Australia, was overwhelmed with de? monstrations of colonial loyalty. The people, it is said, were almost frantic. After remaining in Mel? bourne a short time, the Prince went "up the country," whereupon, ac? cording to report, the whole country "got drunk," and kept it up until long after tho Prince left. At Mel bourne the Prince was measured for a pair of boots. Tho entire adult male population then tried to play tho part of Cinderella's sisters, and to squeeze their feet into boots mado after the same measure. Tho Mayor of Ballarat, it is recorded, succeeded in effecting a fit, and has since reaped in corns what ho sowed in suffering. REMOVAL OF THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
