FROGHORE-HOUSE.—This Royal seat, which it is
expected will be the future home of Prince Christian and
Princess Helena, has lately been much improved, and it is
reported that fresh improvements will be made at this re-
sidence.
SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday intel-
ligence was received at Liverpool of the total loss of the
barque Prudhoe, and it is feared, also, of every sou on
board. The Prudhoe left Liverpool on the Gth inst. for
Shanghae, with a crew of 14 men, and containing a very
valuable cargo. It is believed that the Prudhoe never
cleared the Channel, as large quantities of wreck and cargo
from her have been washed ashore near Fleetwood and
Glasson dock,
