THE PRINCE OF WALES AT
CL UMBER.

On Thursday morning the Prince of Wales, ac-
companied by the Duke of Newcastle and a number
of his guests, embarked in the Lady of Lincoln
and sailed down to Hardwick, where the Prince
inspected the farm premises of his noble host, and
also the model village in course of erection there.
At Hardwick the duke's labourers and their
families, as also a number of his tenantry, were
congregated, and very enthusiastically cheered the
youthful Prince, who gracefully acknowledged
their manifestations of loyalty. The Prince, ac-
companied by the duke and other noblemen,
then went for a day's shooting in the neigh-
bouring preserves. Friday morning the Prince,
accompanied by the duke and other noblemen,
drove to Birklands, which is a part of the old
Sherwood Forest. Thence they were driven to
Worksop Maner, the residence of Lord Foley,
where they partook of luncheon. The party
afterwards proceeded to the collieries at
Shircoaks, belonging to the Duke of New-
castle. The Prince there inspected the
engine-house, the machinery for lifting the coals
&c. After a brief stay at the colliery, his Royal
Highness, the duke, and party, including Lady
Sefton, Lady Belper, and Lady Denison, proceeded
on foot to the village of Shireoaks, to lay the founda-
tion stone of a new church the Duke of Newcastle
has determined to raise for his work-people. A large
crowd assembled to witness the ceremony, includ-
ing members of nearly all the principal families in.
the neighbourhood ; and the Prince was received with
loud cheers and waving of hats. The Prince ap-
pended his signature to a record, of which the follow-
ing isa copy:—" The foundation stone of this church,
dedicated to Almighty God in honour of St. Luke,
and founded by Henry Pelham, Duke of Newcastle,
K.G.. &c., was laid by his Royal Highness Albert
Edward, Prince of Wales, October 18, 1861." The
document having been also signed by the duke, was
folded and put into a glass jar, which the Prince
deposited in a cavity under the foundation stolle.
Prayers were then read by the Rev. H. F. Clinton,
chaplain to his grace. His Royal Highness having
been presented by the architect with a beautiful
silver trowel, proceeded to perform the ceremony of
laying the stone. The Rev. Mr. Clinton then be-
sought a blessing on the good work, and the cere-
mony terminated. The Prince and party left the
ground amidst repeated cheers, and returned on foot
surrounded and followed by a loyal crowd to the
collieries, where carriages awaited them. The party
returned at once to Clumber.

His Royal Highness the Prince of 'Wales took
leave of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle on Satur-
day, and, attended by the Hon. General Bruce and
Capt. Grey, took his departure from Clumber Park,
Notts, for Cambridge.

His Royal Highness arrived in Cambridge at
half-past five on Saturday from Huntingdon. His
Highness reached Huntingdon by the Great

the Royal carriages was in attendance to convey the
Prince from the Great Northern to the Eastern.
