THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Thero is much speculation as to the cause of the extraordinary precautions which were adopted so suddenly at Chester and Eatonhall during the visit of the Prince of Wales to the Duke of Westminster. Early on Friday morning a discovery, the exact nature of which has not yet been made known, was undoubtedly made by one of the railway servants at Chester General Station, and reported by him to his chief. The litter, after Borne investigation, thought tho matter of sufficient importance to requiro tho attention of the police, and consequently the Chief Constable of tho County, Colonel Hnmeraley, and tho Chief Constable of the city, Mr G. L. Fenwick, were communicated with. It is further stated, and not denied, that a telegram was received at Chester on Friday from Ireland giving a description of a suspicious character who had left Dublin fur Holyhead m the mail boat. Two detectives were told off to Chester Station, and some time before the hour announced for the arrival of tho Royal train a man was recognized who answered to the description sent from Ireland. He disappeared, however, m the crowd and has since been lost sight of. It is further stated that several men of an American-Irish type arrived m Chester on Friday from Groenore. All thrsi circumstances led the Duke of Westminster and the police and railway authorities to tho conclusion that it was desirable to 3top the Royal train at Waverton, four miles on the Crewe side of Chester. — Times, Jan. 29.
