TER PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales, accompanied by their infant son Prince Albert
Victor, arrived at Marlborough House yesterday evening
from Osborne Cottage, Isle of Wight.
The appearance of the royal canines at the arrival plat-
form, Waterloo Station, which was reselsd a few minutes
after 6, csneed mazy persons to assemble, but through the
admirable arrangements mode by the company's 1101 rents, i
assisted by Inspector Walker, of the royal household police,
and Inspector Young, of the L division, that portion of the
platform opposite to which the saloon au.iage stopped was
kept quite clear,and the prim:sand princess pissed to their car-
riage without the leestinconvenience. Although much anxiety
was evinced to see the Prince and nooses of Wales, when
the young Prince Albert Victor was seen to be conveyed
across the platform in his none's arms, the excitement
greatly increased, particularly amongst the female portion
of the spectators. They could be soareelv restrained from
breaking the bounds assigned them. It was noticed with
pleasure that the young prince looked exceedingly well,
and seemed to be particularly lively and animated. It
was evident, also, by the hue of the complexion, th►t fresh
air and sunshine were no atrangers to him. In a few
missiles the royal carriages were set in motioo, and Marl-
borough House was reached sit Westminater•bridgs shortly
before half-past 6.
The Hos. Mrs. Stoner and Major Teesdale were is wait-
ing oa their royal highnesses.

The Prince and Primulas of Wales will not leave town for
Scotland until to-morrow.

The arrival of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and
the 'Priam of Hesse at Torquay re Friday evening
created, as may be supposed, so little excitement in
that beautiful watering place. Their royal highnesses,
after visiting her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess
Mule of Ramis., drove through the toga. By six o'clock
the news had spread very widely, and some tbousaads of
persons came down to the quays to see their highnesses em-
bark in the tarp for the royal steam yacht Victoria. The
Princes, it would appear, were averse to rannieg the gauntlet
of so many loyal and enthusiastic Englishmen, and accord-
(ugly made a detour by driving on to kleadfoot-beaeb, from
whence a boat took them to the yacht. On Saturday morn.
jag the Victoria weighed anchor, and steamed on towards
Dartmouth. The yacht returned to Torbay at eleven
I o'clock in the foregoes, and anchored sear the Great
Hoek, off Meadfoot, where some lines had been laid down
the night before, at hi Royal Highness's request, in order
that be might witness a little of the deep-sea fishing of
Torbay, of which occupation Lord Willoughby D'Ereeby
is passionately fond. The boats ware hoisted out, and the
I'rince of Wales in his barge watched the operation of
hauling in the tab. Several cougar were taken, amongst
them a monster, and his Royal Highness was evidently much
amused. The fib were then taken on board, and the Prince
having returned to the yacht the anchor was weighed, and
the Victoria 'teamed away rapidly to the eastward.

The Queen has, in the most gracious manner,
forwarded to Captain Cowper P. Colas, R.N., through Cap-
tain his Serene Highness the Prince leanings's, R.N., a
beautifully executed statuette is breeze of his late Royal
Highness the Prima Consort. In the letter accomp►nying
the statuette Prince Leiniogen sap the Queen desires him
to express to Captain Coles the great pleasure she expo•
rieoced on her visit to the Royal Sovereign, fitted on Cap•
taro Coles's principle, in which his late Royal Highness the
lamented Prince Coined felt a deep intere3t. The statuette
I of the prioce her Majesty wished Captain Coles to accept as
• souvenir of her riot to the Royal Sovereign.

Pantos ALFBILD.—The Kelm Mail says :—" The
intention of Prince Alfred's visit to Norway was to join his
Grace the Duke of Rozburgbe, and enjoy a few days' sport in
salmon-fishiag upon the water. leased by his grace, which
attend to about three miles. The Prime is a keen angler,
end his taste for this kind of sport received a very great
impetus by his two visits to the Tweed. Those visits, we
have no doubt, led to the present engagement to meet the
Duke at Norway ; and our only hope is that the Prince bas
been as successful in hie attack upon the Norway streams
as he was upon the Tweed. The Racoon is ordered to visit
Iceland ere returning home ; and we believe there is a
probability of the Duke accompanying his royal highness
there, and then returning to this country in the Racoon
about the beginning of September."
