The Prince and Princess of Wales,

SANDRINGUAM, Oct. 10.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales will arrive at Sandringham in the course
of a few days; part of their Royal Highnesses'
suite having already arrived. This visit, which it is
understood will extend to about six weeks, is prin-
cipally that the Prince may have the shooting, and
from the abundant manner in which the preserves
are stocked it is presumed that the sport will be
good. The season has been very fortunate for the
preservation cf game, and in this part of the county
of Norfolk poaching is happily almost unknown,
and hence the abundance of game. Though
the inhabitants of the district have not yet
got accustomed to the visits of Royalty, it
is believed that their good sense will prevent
any obtrusive marks of loyalty, which are, to a
great extent, irksome to the members of the Royal
family when in search of retirement from the
gaieties of the Court life. Two or three " meets" of
the West Norfolk hounds will be fixed by the
worthy master, H. Villebois, Esq., so as to enable
the Prince to hunt the county, and we
are glad to be able to state that several
foxes have been preserved on the estate by the
Prince's direction, so as to prevent the annoy-
ance of a " blank day" when the " draw" is at
Sandringham. The hall farm it now in the hands
of the Prince (it having been farmed for several
years past by Mr. Joshua Freeman), and the agri-
culturists of the county augur from this step that
the Prince intends to follow in the steps of the late
Prince Consort, and take the position in the country
of the leading agriculturist. The farm is rather ex-
tensive, and having been well farmed is in good condi-
tion. It is rumoured that the Prince has announced
hia intention of honouring the Earl of Leicester
with a visit early is November, and the tenantry
are desirous of being permitted to evince their
loyalty and gratification at this visit of Royalty to
the finest mansion in Norfolk, the seat of the
Cokes. It is understood that the magnificent bound
book containing a description of the Norwich
gates, which were presented to the Prince
to be placed at the principal entrance to the
estate, and a list of the subscribers, will b© formally
presented to the Prince soon after his arrival at
Sandringham. His Royal Highness has won golden
opinions in the neighbourhood by the liberal
patronage accorded to the several sporting institu-
tions of the district.

The visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Prussia will extend to three monthe.--
