PRINCE ARTHUR IN THE FAR WEST.—We learn
that his Royal Highness, whilst on shore at Tresco, on
Sunday afternoon, amongst other objects of interest, visited
the Piper's Hole, a capacious tavern, situated on the north
side of the island. Into this cavern the Prince and his
party passed to a considerable distance, a boat having been
provided to cross the pool in the centre. Tho cavern was
lighted up on the occasion by a number of candles. After
leaving the cave his Royal Highness went to the residence
of Augustus Smith, Esq., M.P., and walked for some time
on the beautiful grounds. After the party left the grounds
and gardens, Mr. Allen, the steward, had some choice
flowers and vegetables sent on board the Vivid, with which
his Royal Highness expresssed himself to be highly pleased
and gratified. It was expected that the Prince, on Monday
morning, would have landed at St. Metry's, but he did not;
and the vessel having replenished her stock of coals and

provisions, weighed anchor and left the harbour about noon
on Monday. She arrived at Padstow on Monday night,
and left the next morning for Lundy Island, or Bideford.—

KIDDERMINSTER ELECTION .—The retirement of
Mr. Huddleston frcm the contest has brought into the field
another candidate, who last evening appeared in the per-
son of Mr. Talbot, nephew of the Earl of Shres abury,
who has large possessions in the neighbourhood of Kidder-
minster. The now candidate arrived in Kidderminster

LONGEVITY.—The returns which have 'oeen
issued for 1860 show that in that year 22 men died in Eng-
land and Wales who had reached or passed the age of 100,
and 47 women. The oldest woman, 111 years, died in
Glamorg,anshire. With the men there was a tie; a man
aged 107 died in Hampshire, and another of the same ago in
Pembrokeshire, Four of the centenarians died in London,
two others at Camberwell, one also at Greenwich, and one
at Lewisham. More men died in the year than women,
but of the 595 persons who had reached the age of 95 or
upwards before they died, nearly two-thirds were women,
TROPHY OF THE ART-UNION OF LONDON IN THE
NAVE.—The misused terra " trophy" may be safely applied
to the beautiful collection of works of art set up on the
north side of the nave by the Art-Union of London, for it
is in truth a token of victories achieved. So far as we have
seen, it has received no notice whatever as yet from those
who, either officially or otherwise, are setting forth to the
public the glorious contents of the Palace of Art ; probably
because mention of it is altogether omitted in the catalogue
and " plan of the main trophies ;" and yet we do not hesi-
tate to assert that, viewed with reference to the modern
history of art in England, it is a collection of the
interest and importance, second to none there.
