Garrard, we Crown Jewellers, has been eagerly sought by fashionable visitors anxious to see the costly presents manufactured for the Prince of Wales, as gifts to bis briac. Conspicuous ainong the beautiful objects 1s a complete f aebet of diamonds and pearls, comprising a necklace, a reoch and earrings. The neoklace is composed of eight elusters, with large pendants, the centre cluster consisting of three fiue pear. shaped pearl drops, and the whole being connected with festoons ‘tlamonda’ The brooch is com- posed of spiendid pearls, surrounded by diamonds, with other pearls aa drops. These jewels are all of the first quality, and were manufactured after the design and under the suporintendenod of the Prinos. Glittering on each side of the parure are two brooches, entirely of diamonds, formed so ag to reprerent by ergy of Wales’ fenthers, These are of differout sizes, but both very large. ‘The wedding ring, which, of course, is of pes gold, is remarkably massive, and its accompanying keeper is set ‘with six jous stones, selected and arranged so that the initial letters of their names shall forin the word Bertie,” an affectionate variation of ‘‘Alvert.” The stones of which this happy combination i effected are a bery!, an omeraid, a ruby, a turquoise, a jacyuth and an- other emerald.

The Reported Destruction of the Rebel Rebel despatches from Charleston, 8. C., of the 22d inst. , state that ‘The onemy have been sholling the wreck of the Georgians, off Long Island beach. Otherwise all is quiet.” This brie telegram is one which probably gives ua the first information respecting the destruction of a rebel pirate ship which was to have been dreaded more than even the far-famed Alabama, as she was fully as fast and far heavier armed. We hope we are correct in our impression. The Georgiana was built by Messrs. Laird, at Birken. head, for the “Emperor of China.”’ She is an iron vessel, brig rigged, and left Engtand with an assorted cargo. She arrived at Naseau on the evening of the 27th of February, and, at our latest advices, the 16th inst., she stili was lying there awaiting an opportunity to cross over and run into Charleston. Our latest dates from Port Royal are to the 19th; and, as no mention is made of her capture, it is fair to presume that she attempted to run the blockade about the 20th, and was chased ashore by our blockaders. ‘The Georgians no doubt desired to land her cargo at Charleston, probably having on board articles of“great importanes to the rebels; aud, baving completed that part of ber mission, she would put ber heavy battery in order ‘and run out, or, € prevented, then she could be of good service in repelling any attack made upon that city. By the attention and vigilance of the biockaders off Charleston this formidable piratical cruiser has, we hope, been entirely destroy ea. To the rebels her destruction is of course a great lose, while to us, under any circumstances, it is « great gain. They have aiready too many cruisers afloat, and our mor. chants naturally foel timid about risking their property on the seas while such merciless pirates are prowling about, with but slight chances of being captured, It does ndt soem posaiblo that the Englishmen who build these vessels will much longer submit themselves to the inconvenience of baying their ships thus captured and destroyed; for it is fair to preeume that the value of the Georgiana and ber cargo will not fall short of nearly ‘@ intlijon dollars As & steamer is now due from Port Royal, it will not be jong beforo we shall hear the particalars of this affair Arehbi.
