THE Court is still detained at Balmoral by reason of tho continued indisposition of Prince Leopold , but there is reason to believe that it will return southward at an early date . The Princess of Wales and her daughters nccomplished the return to London safely , and Miss Knollys appears not to have suffered in any way by the
journey . On Monday , the Prince and Princess left Clarence House , which during the absence of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh they have occupied , pending the repairs and alterations which are being carried out at their own residence , on Monday for Sandringham . Here tho Prince ,
with Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar and the other guests , have been enjoying some excellent sport in the Royal preserves . It is anticipated that at no great distance of time a ball will be given by their Royal Highnesses , and
this is the more likely , owing to the absence of the customary festivities on the anniversary of the Prince of Wales ' s birthday . To-day is the Princess of Wales ' s birthday .
Though the Mansion House Indian Famine Relief Fund has been closed for some time , considerable sums are still being received daily . The fund has already reached , by reason of these further remittances , the handsome total of £ 482 , 400 , and there is every probability that it will amount to a round half million before the flow of contributions
ceases entirely . On Wednesday the Lord Mayor received a telegram from the Mayor of Sydney , N . S . Wales , to the effect that he had remitted £ 6 , 000 by the mail the same day , and that more would follow . The Privy Council have issued instructions with reference
to tho Srnithfield Club Cattle Show , which will be held the week after next at the usual quarters , the Agricultural Hall , Islington ; and the Council of the Club have given notice to exhibitors of the special arrangements to which
they will have to conform . The entries are said to be equal to those of any previous year , and among the exhibitors will be , as for some years past , both Her Majesty and the Prince of Wales .
The meeting of the Society of Arts on Wednesday morning was of an unusually interesting character , and the hall and all the approaches were thronged with people all
anxious to hear Professor Bell ' s lecture on the Telephone . Indeed , large numbers of people were unable to be present . The lecturer was listened to throughout with the most rapt attention . At the conclusion of the lecture some con «
versations were carried on , one with a correspondent in the hotel close by , at a distance of some hundred yards , and another with a person in Gough-square , Fleet-street , distant about a mile . The longest distance through which a conversation has been conducted is said to be 258 miles ,
namely , between Boston and New York , but experiments in the laboratory have shown that communication is possible at a distance of 60 , 000 miles ; that is , conversations have been perfectly clear through resistances such as would be experienced in traversing such a distance .
A deputation from three different societies waited on the Earl of Derby at the Foreign Office on Wednesday , for the purpose of presenting to his Lordship a memorial uro-inrr on the Government to depart from their present policy of inaction . Lord Stratheden and Campbell introduced the
deputation , and when he had read the memorial , several among those present addressed his lordship . In reply , the Earl of Derby promised to lay the statement that had been read out to him before his colleagues , and to rood it carefully himself , but he pointed out that the depn hi tiou must not
expect him to express any opinion on current events iu the East . At the same time he declared emphatically that the Government would strictly adhere to tl . o policy they had
laid clown , and that they would continue to observe , as lonoas possible , consistently with the interests of the British Empire , the conditional neutrality they proclaimed at the outset of the war .
