tle, the princely residence of the Earl of Dartiaras.. His
Royal Highness was met on his entrance into Stainilrop, by
a vast concourse of people, who welcomed him with re-
peated cheers, and immediately proceeded to take the
horses from his carriage. This being effected, they drew
the Priuce through the town, the road, said park, or
quitted the illustrious stranger, till they bad placed his
carriage within the castle walls, having drawn him a
distance of two miles. On alighting, his Royal High-
ness, attended by Baron Hardetibrock, Sir Robert Gardiner,
and Dr. Stuckmar, was received by the Earl and Countess of
Darlington, and ushered into the grand saloon under a Palate
of 21 guns placed in front of the castle. His Lordship's bawd,
in their splendid nnifu,me,evere placed in the grand entrance,
and played several pieces of martial and other music before
anal after dinner. A select party of eighteen, consisting of the
Earl of Strathmore, ate. &c. were invited to meet the Prince,
and soon after his arrival the whole sat down to a sump-
Notts banquet, consisting of every delicacy in treason, and
the most costly and delicious wines. On the following
numbing, his Royal Highness wax conducted through the
grouuds and gardens by his noble host and hostess. He

sportsman, was not only pleased, but superlatively delighted
with the view of these celebrated fox humid,. On his return
to the castle, the Prince partook of a cold collation, and
about two o'clock took leave of the Earl and Countess, and
