Yesterday his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales continued his shooting on the Medford estate, with
that devotion to field sports which so etrocgly clisraeterises
him. The Prince was accompanied by his host, Lard A.
Paget, Lotd Proby, sad the other noblemen sad gentlemen
who have been staying at the hall. The Spe!thorns and
Linage woods have bees found to contain sa shandy's* of
game, and some good bags have bees made up. On Wed-
wedgy the weather was not very favourable, but an im-
provement took place yesterday. The 'rotted has bean
very wet sad heavy, and between Melford sad Sudbury a
good deal of water has accumulated on the low lands. It
was extremely fortunate, then, that a change took place for
the better on Wednesday night and yesterday morning. The
visit of their royal higbeesses to Melford being of a private
character, the Primer of Wales has not appeared much in
public, but has doubtless enjoyed the beautiful scenery
about the estate. The dinner party on Wednesday and
last evening comprised about sixteen guests, whose names
have already appeared in the reports of Wednesday and
yesterday. The visit of the Moos and Priories, which
will long linger in the memories of the Melfordians, will
terminate to-day. Their royal highannss will travel by
Great Eastern Railway from Me/ford to Wolverton, the
Dearest station to Sandringham, taking the Cambridge
route. The distance from Melford to Cambridge is about
32 mils., and from thence to Wolferkei about 47 miles
more, so that the railway joursey will comprise altogether
nearly 80 miles.

ought to implicate the society he serves in social operations
of this kind without letting his brethren know the danger to
which they mast be exposed."

as his trustee, end that, according to the terms of
the trek the family palace was to be the property
of the two surviving brothers, the Princes Lucien and
Napoleon, and the jewels and other valuables to be
