The Duke at Sydnky. — The curious circumstances that "H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, when he loft Sydney was not accompanied by the Earl of Belmoi'e, is thus explained by the " Lauuceston Examiner,'" which mentions that though the journals have been suspiciously silent, private advices have not been so reticent : — " It is said the Earl absented himself, or rather did not attend to bid the Prince a public farewell, because of a quarrel between himself and the Duke. It seema that a few days previously, Earl Belmore announced his intention of. giving a dinner-party at the Government House, and the Prince wanted him to invite the Caraudinis. This the Earl positively refused to do, and the Prince in a huff, threatened he would not honour the party with his presence. Earl Belmore was firm, and the Prince was equally obstinate. He absented himself, an-1 did .not again* trouble the Governor with, his. presence. It is possible' explanations may be offered, hut the ' split ' was not to be -soldered,"
