The Prince and Princess of Wales.
SANDRINGHAM, Jan. 7.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales, attended by the Marchioness of Car-
marthen and Captain Grey, returned last evening
to Sandringham, from their visit to the Earl and
Countess of Leicester at Holkham.

Yesterday morning the Prince joined his noble
host for a few hours' duck shooting on the lake—a
beautiful piece of water 1,056 yards in length, co-
vering 20 acres, having in it three small islands—
and met with a capital day's sport. In the after-
noon,7at 3 o'clock, their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Wales took leave of the earl and
countess and the members of the family, as well as
the noble visitors staying at Holkham, expressing
to their noble host and hostess their unalloyed satis-
faction with their visit. They then left, his Royal
Highness driving a phaeton and pair containing
hlmself and the Princess : the Marchioness of Car-
marthen, Captain Grey, and Viscount Hamilton
following in the second carriage and pair.
The carriages proceeded by the north front, and
passed along the fine avenue, a mile and a half long,
from the obelisk to the triumphal arch, a spacious
portal of the Doric order. Near the south lodges
and the triumphal arch were gathered a great num-
ber of persons, actuated by the desire to see the
heir apparent to the throne and the princess. The
remainder of the journey, about 25 miles, was with-
out interest, beyond the desire of visitors to catch a.
glimpse of the royal travellers. The weather was
very cold, a strong nor'-easter blowing, which later
in the night freshened into a gale.
Their Royal Highnesses arrived at Sandringham
about 6 o'clock. During the visit which has just
terminated the Prince of Wales has experienced
great gratification, not only from the sport, which
has been of the highest order, upwards of 4,000
head having been bagged in a couple of days'
shooting in the woods which skirt the north and
south sides of the park, to say nothing of the wild
fowl shooting, but also with the truly princely re-
ception and entertainment. Their Royal High-
nesses have viewed with immense pleasure the
peerless works of art contained in the rooms at
Holkham. The present visit, with the exception of
the ball, has been quite private, but it is the gene-
ral and earnest wish of the tenantry and the whole
neighbourhood that on the next occasion of their
being the guests of the Earl of Leicester, this rule
may be somewhat relaxed, and that they may con-
sent to a public reception, similar to that given in
1835 to the Duchess of Kent and her Majesty, then
the Princess Victoria.

Rear-Admiral Sir Henry Keppel arrived at Sand-
ringham to-day on a visit to the Prince and Princess
of Wales.

THE SAFFRON-HILL MURDER.—The funeral of
Michael Harrington, who died from the effects of it
wound inflicted by an Italian in the Golden Anchor public--
house, Saffron-hill, took place yesterday. The murdered
man being a costermonger, there was an unusual turn-out
of that useful class of street-tradesmen on the occasion'
First came the hearse, a double-bodied one, containing the
coffin in the front compartment and the chief mourners in
the second ; two mourning coaches followed ; and Rita
them a long line of cabs, gigs, donkey-carts, pony-barroWo,
and a large goods-van, all crammed with male and fenuo
occupants, the great majority of the men smoking shol4
pipes. This extraordinary funeral procession, which tool‘
from ten minutes to a quarter of an hour to pass any
,giVell
point, came slowly down Saffron-hill about three o'clocici:
in the afternoon. The windows in that locality were filled
with spectators, and a large crowd of persons in the hula'
blest ranks of life followed the remains to the cemetery'
Although there was no display of feeling, still the Nvll9le
affair partook more of a demonstration in the Italian quarl°l3l.
of London expressive of disgust at the foul manner in whit
Harrington had met his death at the hands of a foreigner
than a desire on the part of those who followed to be l're-
sent at colemn ceremony.
