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. The 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 c 0 St. Mary'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 Shrew sbury,
who has large possessions in the neighbourhood of Kidder-
minster. The new candidate arrived in Kidderminster
last evening, between 6 and 7 o'clock. He was met at the
station by a considerable crowd, and conducted into the
town, where he addressed the electors in a Liberal Con-
servative speech. In a second address issued by Mr. Hud-
dleston on retiring, he says :—" After careful considera.
tion I feel compelled to retire from the contest, which could
only be carried on by recourse to practices which I cannot
mention. The significant reticence of a large number of the
electors whom I have canvassed has mainly contributed to

MR. BRASSEY AND THE SEEREWSBI7RY ELECTION.
—We can state positively that it is not the intention of
Mr. Brassey, jun., to Contest Shrewsbury, although a roa

TROPHY OF THE ART-UNION OF LONDON IN THE
NAVE.—The misused terns "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
inodheerilst
history of art in England, it is a collection of the
hi
interest and importance, second to none there.
