Highness Prince Leopold, and the whole of his esta-
blishment, observed the solemnities of the Sabbath in a
private manner at Came-house : the Rev. Dr. England,
Archdeacon of the Diocese, officiated.
The next day he and his attendants took a ride on
horseback over Bincombe-down, through the village of
Preston, and from thence by the turnpike-gate leading
to this town: here he stopped for a considerable time,
surveying the distant bays, esplanade, and different
buildings. His Highness appeared in deep thought;
and it was cbserved that he did not communicate his
ideas on the different prospects, either to Sir Robert
Gardiner or Baron Hurdenbroke; but quitted the scene
in a state of mind absorbed in the deepest melancholy.
On Thursday, Prince Voroniesky and General Count
D'Ojaruwsky, two Ressitut noblemen, arrived at CAITIth.

THe STRATHFIELDSAY ESTATE.—The arrange.
meats for the purchase of this estate are going on ha
the most amicable way, contrary to what was last
week reported. The Earl of Rivers is on a visit at the

Hampshire, wherin his Lordship lately met the Inert of
business, to whom all arbitration is referred. roc
Duke of Wellington abides by his first deteretioatioa,
not to interfere in the settlement. The only opposing
obstacle is the want of ground ;. but this evil will he
remove,l, by Government taking in t eektield-heath.
There is not the slightest truth in the report that
200,0001. have been offered to Lord R. by a cert.ln
banker. The drawings for the house, or rustle, are
ready ; and preparations are making for a new
feature to the woods and other plantations.
