THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Too little (says * * Westminster ” in the Western Mail'”) has been said or writ feu of the Prince’s work across the water.

To the consternation of the General Staff, he was found missing one afternoon, and their consternation was the greater when they learned that he had joined he Grenadiers in one of their periodical attacks and gone over the t-op. Similarly on the Italian* front* the Prince was over and over again in the thick of the lighting, and it is to bo regretted that for many reasons publicity has not been given to these exploits. s
