DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES

The Prince of Wales embarked on Saturday at
Woolwich, on board the royal yacht Osborne, for Antwerp.
Instructions had been issued that the strictest primly
should be observed, and that none of the usual demonstra.
tions should take place on the arrival or departure of
his Royal Highness. It was at first stated that the Prince
would embark at ten o'clock in the morning, subsequently
the hour of mix in the evening was named, but notwith.
standing these statements, • large number of
prisons assembled in Woolwich, near the entrances
to the Arsenal, many of whom waited there
for several hours, expecting the arrival of his Royal
Highness. Early in the day a telegram was received by
the authorities stating that the Prince would arrive about
two o'clock. A small body of the police, under Inspector
Birne, were stationed outside the gates and along the arsenal
yard. The Prince and suite arrived in a carriage, drawn by
four horses, and preceded by • single outrider, at ten
minutes peat two o'clock, and were received by Sir
Frederick Nicholson, the commodore of the dockyard, the
only officer in attendance. The royal carriage wee driven
to the head of the T pier, and his Royal Highness stepped
on board, and immediately the moorings were let go, and
the Osborne (Captain Bower) steamed away from the pier
at 20 minutes past two.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
arrived in Edinburgh on Friday from Stirling. His royal
highness has been on a visit to Drummond Castle, and be-
fore leaving Stirling visited his Excellency the Ambassador
of France and the Countess de Flabault at Tulliallan °Ardis.
His royal highness left Edinburgh on Saturday on his return
to London.

His Highness the Prince lts.dziwill, Marquis de
Beaufotte, and the Baron and Baroness Rottermand hare
left the Brunswick Hotel, Jernlynetreet, for Paris.

Prince Adalbert arrived iu London ou Saturday
front Prussia.

The Marquis of Breadalbano, who has been suffer-
ing from indisposition for some days past, is, we hear, much
batter.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury have
returned to Hatfield from Bournemouth.

We (Pori) believe that, although nothing is as
yet officially settled with respect to the vacant see of Can-
terbury, there is no doubt that the Bishop of London, Dr.
Tait, will be translated to the primacy.

The Preston Guild Festival was brought to a
close on Saturday evening by a juvenile ball in the Corn
Exchange. There was a very large attendance, and the
little folks enjoyed themselves amazingly. Nearly all the
visitors have returned to their Lome., and the streets have
assumed something like their ordinary aspect. Many of the'
decorations were removed on Saturday, and probably not a
vestage of them will be visible today. It has not yet been I
ascertained what surplus, if any, will remain to be handed
over to the Relief Committee. The festival has brought a
good deal of money into the town, but the shopkeepers
complain that their extra receipts will barely enable them
to pay for the painting and upholster/ work with which
they endeavoured to do honour to the Guild. It is calcu-
lated that if the operatives had been in full employment,
some 16,0001. to 20,0004 more would have been spent dur.
ing the week..
The New York papers state that a cargo of 400
slaves were landed last month within twent3 -five miles of
Havanna.
