ARRIVAL OF PRINCE AND PRINCESS CHRISTIAN
AT WlNDSOR.—Yesterday Prince and Princess Christian
of Schleswig-Holstein, attended by their suite, arrived at
Dover from Waltersdorff, and left for London by the 3.45
p.m. mail train on the South-Eastern Railway. Their
Royal Highnesses proceeded by way of Tunbridge and
Redhill to the Charing-cross Junction with the South-
Western line at Waterloo. Under the superintendence of
Mr. G. Hill the saloon, with the Prince and Princess, was
attached to tho 6.35 p.m. down train, and arrived at Wind-
sor at about a quarter to 8 o'clock.

Loss OF A STEAMER ON THE YORKSHIRE COAST.—
A steamer was seen to be on fire off Plamborough Head
on the morning of the 9th inst. She was drift'ng to the
southward at the time. The Hornsea and Withernsea.
lifeboats, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution,
wore speedily launched, and were taken iu the direction
of the vessel, and after a long pull had nearly reached her
when she was seen to founder. The boats passed amongst
portions of the burnt wreck and trusses of hay, but nothing
was seen of the crew, who were believed to have been
picked up by two vessels which wore in the vicinity, and
which afterwards proceeded northwards.

A SINGULAR MEETING.—A rather extraordinary
meeting took place at the Crown Inn, Chartoris, lately. A.
few old men dropped in to have a "quiet half pint" on the
occasion of one of their birthdays. They numbered six
and their united ages reached the high figure of 141 years
