Prince of Wales.

The "Norwich Gltes," which have been sub-
scribed for by the county for presentation to the
Prince of Wales, were presented to his royal high-
ness yesterday at Sandringham Hail by a deputa-
tion from the subscribers, consisting of the Earl of
Leicester, Lord Lieutenant of the county, Mr. J.
Scott Chad, High Sheriff, and the Mayors of Nor-
wh h, Lynn, Yarmouth, and Thetford, who arrived
at Sandringham Hill at a quarter past one, and
were introduced to their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales in the drawing-room.
There were present besides, General Knollys, Capt.
Grey, Mr. Fisher, the Hon. Mr. Bruce, and Dr.
Stanley. The High Sr;eriff read the county address
of congratulation, which the prince received, and
returned a suitable reply.
The High Sheriff then read the following ad-
dress :

" May it please your Royal Highness,—As s heriff
of the county of Norfolk, I have the distinguished
honour to offer for your royal highness's acceptance
the Norwich Gates' on behalf of the inhabitants
of the county, the city, and boroughs, in the hope
that this specimen of the manufaciurts of our city
may be deemed worthy of being placed at the en-
trance of Sandringham Perk. The names of all the
subscribers to the presentation fund will be printed,
and a copy of the list offered for the acceptance of
your royal highness, in order that your royal high-
ness may see that all classes of persons have been
anxious to join in this token of loyal feeling. I
gladly embrace this opportunity of assuring your
royal highness, in the name of my county, of the
joy with which we welcome your royal highness
and your illustrious consort as residents amongst
us, and beg to express the loyal and affectionate
senti nents which we one and all entertain towards
you."

His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied as follows :
" Gentlemen,—lt is with the greatest gratification
that I r€ceive your present. I need hardly say that
the circumstances under which it is offered are of a
nature to make a deep impression upon me. Con-
nected intimately as I am with Norfolk, I regard
with pride so beautiful aspeeimen of Norwich work-
manship and art, and this feeling adds to the plea-
sure I could not tail to experience in accepting any
offering made by a large body of persons belonging
to every class, but animated by a common feeling
of affectionate good-will towards myself and the
princess.'

After this brief ceremony (which was conducted
in a private manner), the gentlemen of the deputa-
tion lunched at the Hall.
