THE PRINCN AND PRINCOI9 OF WALES. —The
Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Lordind Lady Wal-
elegiram, at Merton-hall, near Thetford, on Friday next
January 13. The visit will be of a private character, and
there will be no great entertainment like that at Holkham.
The Priem of Wales will, however, be doubtless greatly in-
terested in an inspection of the excellent dock of Sonthdown
sheep which has raised the reputation of Merton to a high
' point in the agricultural world. The Prince has recently
obtained 50 Southdown sheep from one of the Norfolk
Socks, and his energetic steward, Mr. Carmichael, will
doubtless achieve success in the development of some choice
specimens of the ovine race. The Prince and Princess will,
it is expected, travel by the Great Eastern Railway from
Wolf ertou to Thetford, from which Lord Walaiegbanes
carriage will convey the distinguished visitors to Merton.
The lament visit of the Prinee end Prince= to Sandringham
is drawing to a close, and they will leave Norfolk in a few
days. It is mid that the Prince of Wales is likely to become
the purchaser of the Rushton seat*, about three miles from
Kettering. The estate possums an excellent mansion. and
presents advantageous shooting and bunting facilities. The
visit of the Prince and Princes to Holkham terminated on
Friday evening.
