The Prince and Princess of Wales.

SANDRINGHAM, April 13.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales have been out hunting with the harriers
during the last few days.
On Friday last the " meet " for Mr. Birchard3
harriers was Flitcham Abbey, and the weather was
particularly fine.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, at•
tended by Captain Grey and Mr. Wood, arrived
from Sandringham a few minutes after 12, and
shortly after the Princess of Wales arrived eti
horseback, attended by Lieut.-Gen. Knollys. Toe
"field" invited to meet their royal highnesses 05
not large, but select, and their royal highnesses,
who appeared to be in good health, were received
with an unobtrusive but hearty welcome, which
they acknowledged most affably. The sport at once
commenced, and puss being soon found, a run was
obtained almost immediately. The royal party rode
well after the hounds. The Princess of Wales espy
cially excited the admiration of the field by she
manner in which she rode. In the course of the
day four or five good runs were obtained, three of
them terminating with a kill; and the prince, before
leaving for Sandringham, expressed to Mr. Birchso
the gratification which had been afforded their royal
highnesses by the pleasant day's sport.
Their royal highnesses walked in the grounds
and rode out on Saturday.

On Sunday the Prince and Princess of Wales,
with Lieut.-Gen. Kuollys, Capt. they, Mr. Wood,
Mr. Holzman, and the Hon. Mr. Bruce, attended
Divine service at Sandringham Church. The Belt'

preached. _ . _

Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, Capt. Grey, Mr. Wood, and
Mr. Holzman, again joined Mr. Bircham's harriers'
the meet bting at Ashwicken, about 12 miles from
Sandringham. The sport was fair, but not so gooa
as on Friday, and the day was very fine.

AND

COMMkIItOIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The inquiries for discount accommodation to-day
are on a larger scale, and full rates are enforced.
As no advantage can be obtained from the negotia-
tion of bills in the open market, the demand at the
Bank has increased.
The share list of the City of London Real Pro-
perty Company closes for London on Saturday, and
for the county on Monday.
The prospectus of the European Cattle Importing

a proposed capital of £JO,OOO, in 10,000 shares of
45 each, with power to increase, The company
propose to commence with a first issue of 5,000
shares-10s. per share to be paid on application,
and £1 on allotment, and all future calls not to ex-
ceed £l, at intervals of not less than two months,
The company has been started with a view to ina•
Port into the English markets a supply of healthy
cattle, chiefly from the southern parts of Europe, to
zr►eet the increasing demand for animal food; and
the directors are of opinion that a most pro-
fitable fiele is thus opened up for the safe
ninvestment of a large amount of capital.
'le directors advert to the late and existing
Mortality amongst cattle in this country, and are
Of opinion that the inefficient means of the
transport of cattle (which they propose to
remedy entirely) is one of the principal
causes. They propose to engage practical men to
select and purchase their cattle, and to provide car-
riages and trucks of an improved construction from
the various ports of debarkation, with suitable
.depota, pasturage, kc., for stock. The directors
ease their confidence in the success which they are
sanguine will follow the immediate operations of the
company upon the immense importation of foreign
cattle into London in the ordinary course of com-
merce, and the large fortunes which have been
realised by private enterprise. From close calcula-
tions which have been made, they are of opinion
that from 20 to 25 per cent. of profit will be de.
rived from their operations on all capital invested.
The practical knowledge possessed by the several
Well-known names which Rill be found on the

Will have all the aid which a practical experience
can give in the development of the object for which

in its financial management.
