PRINCE ALBERT AT IPSWICH.
IPSWICH, TIIICRADAT.

To-day, again blessed with unclouded sunshine,
has he en one long/de is Ipswich. The town and ei irritation
have had Prime Albert nearly altogether to themselves, to
the great detriment, in 'popular attention, of the British
Associateni, who niere'y got a " call" in the morning, and
wen• unthought of during the rc.t of the day. The general
Mdielay was, in a gnat warmer, gill insisted ou ; and
the• streets remained densely crowded, retaining all their
gala attire of digs, stommers, green arches, and other
excessive paraphernalia indispensable to the demonstration
of loyal feeling all over the world. The " fashion" of all
Itufilk was in attendance on the royal consort, the gentle-
men to take off their bats and the ladies to wave their hand-
kerchiefs all day long in those pleasant places when
they were elbowing the Prince, and a, to the clams who
filled the streeta, and only the ate, et', it may be stated with-
out exaggeration that, from II o'clock, a.m., to l o'clock,
p.m , they kept up one continuous so•tenuto cheer—cheer-
ing every one who hail a moustache, and who night be the
Prince, cheering every one who had been MN
with the Prince, and cheering the royal coachman,
whenever the eirlrittkp. wan 1.11101, la cause lie had driven
the l'rinn•. His ItoyAl High's..., it is understood, ex-
po seed himself peculiarly gratified with o welcome which
was MI. relently hearty ; and it is certain that one of his
fen. of impressions in refersoice to Ifewieb mud he highly
conpline•ntary to the lungs of the people of that ancient
DWI pretty town.

- - .
We stated yesterday, that after getting through the pro- i
presume of lilt saures in Ipewich, the l'rinee went to dine
and pass the night at Shrublunds, the seat of Sir
Middleton, a place celebrated in the county
for its gardens, which are of remarkable extent and
beauty, and, more recently, for the architecture of the hall,
whiels, lately renovates', ie the work of Mr. Barry, A
large party had been ar,in'iled to meet the distinguished
guest, and before dining the Prince gratified he. bond by su-
p rintunding the planting of a tree which is to commemo-
rate the honour conferred on Shrublands, and by conceding
permission to call Is pretty tower, picturesquely situated in
the grounds, the " Albert Tower." After breakfast this
m g the prince time.. into town, where there weSmuch
for him to do; and he el here shortly after 10.
Ilk was escorted by a party of the 2nd Dragoons ; and
detachments from the same regiment were dotted all
over the town, keeping their I,olce throughout the day,

doing very unnecessary duty, and attaching to the l'iince's
visit a character which was obviously uniltsirable. The
first business was to visit the sections of the 'knish A.m.
nation. Ile tint proceeded to section 0 (mechanical and
physical ), where he heard a lecture of practical inte-
rest by Mr. Nastnyth on an improved direct action steam-fan
for the more perfect veutilation of coal mines. Ile then went
to section I) (natural history) where Professor Forbes was
reading a paper of a detailed and intricate description, " On
the Mullu,ca of the 41141 St. Ilelena, considered with
reference to the distribution of life in the Atlantic Ocean."
Ilis third and last visit to the association was to the room
devoted to the section " Statistic," Here be listened to I
au able essay by Dr. Wheuell, defined in the programme
as " A Mathematic Exposition of some Doctrines of Politi.
eel Eisinumy." The routos were all crowded. Ladies
who did not make the slightest pretence of listen-
ing to the lecture., and could never be suspected ,
of being " blues," mu-tering quite as unmet...
ously as th.• unequivocal 111.11 e saran. of the Association. I
The Prince did nut pay a mere formal attention in these
visit+. lie was a careful listener and a pertinent questioner,
demonstrating a vast variety and accuracy of information.
Yesterday, iu Section ii, he incited particular surprise by
hs intimacy with controversies in relation to chemistry.
Nobody remarked that his Royal Highness "condescended to
be intelligent;' but there is no doubt that the gentlemen
of Section B. Dr. Faraday, Professor Dumas, Protean''
Graham, and Mr. A. W. Williamson, were delighted at his
Royal II 4th:woes participation in their special pursuits. Pro-
lessor Dumas, it may be mentioned, has greatly distinguished
himalf at this year's meeting of the association by a full
and informing paper "On Atomic Volume and Atomic
Weight, with considerations on the probability that certain
holies now Maiden," as elementary may be decomposed."
ARe r parting from the association the Prince proceeded
to the dischar,ie of thine duties which lie had undertaken
more immediately connected with the town of Ipswich.
and which his visit to the association this year have
appropriately suggested. Some time ago he gave I
his name ae patron of the museum which has lately i
lama formed in Ipswich, and the society to whom
the institutiuo own its origin very properly re- I
solved to wise this occasion to pay the Prince a grateful
compliment. The building, though small, is neat and com-
pact ; and, though the collection is limited, it presents many
point& of interest, and is, in all respects, most creditable to
the tows. The galleries, staircases, landing-places, and
the chief room were thronged with ladies long before the
Prime's snivel, and looked so modern sad agronablo that

mony being obtained around the Prince, Professor Hew-

read the following address, which is singularly correct and

uneweggerated :

Amid respectful silence the Pitt:lee replied—" I thank
you very sincerely for your kind address. It was with mush
pleasure that I acceded to the request formerly made to me
to become the patron to an institution celebrated, as I be-
lieve, not only fur its own means of usefulness, but as an
example to other towns in England of much public advan-
tage ; awl I rejoice in this opportunity of visiting it for the
first time. I shall watch its future progress with much
interest ; and in the principle in which it is founded, and the
manner in which it has hitherto been conducted, I find the best
assurance that in its future development it will fulfil its mis-
sion of aiding in the advancement of science and the diffusion
of knowledge amongst the inhabitants of Ipswich." This
closed the ceremony and ended the silence. The room was
in a moment in motion, the Prince being at once taken pos-
session of by the Museum committee, and moved among the
curiosities, which ho affably looked at and courteously won-
dered at. Alter a little time, be got into a more general
circle of acquaintance, and chatted with all the ladies and
gentlemen desiring and entitled to a limited conversation. I
Half an hour having got rid of the fossils and
the gossip, the Prince looked at his watch and
without waiting to be " conducted," made his way ameng
the eager starers, and got down stairs to the room in which
a luncheon had been prepared by the committee for him.
The Prince having disappeared, the public retired, too,
and need all despatch in reaching the ground, and getting
good places in it, marked out as the site for the grammar
school, the first stone of which Prince Albert was to lay at
3 o'clock. His Royal Highness was joined at luncheon
by Professors lienslow, Owen, Scdgwick, the Rev.',
E. Sidney, the Prince of Canino (Lucien Bona- I
parte), Sir W. Middleton and Lady Middleton, Mr,l
It. Gould (the ornithologist), Mr. 11. Adair and Mr. Oilb-
bold (the members for Ipswich), Lord A. Hervey, Mr.
Ram= (of the great Ipswich engineering firm, Ransom
and May), Mr. G. Blakely (High Sheriff of Norwich),
adds Brooke, and Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell.
• air account of the school, which has engaged Prince
Alibi's attention, will not be uninteresting. The Ipswich
Grammar School was first regularly founded by Wolsey, the
great hero of Ipswich ; and has educated successive gen&a.
lions up to tho present day. Within the last few years,
Mr. Rigaud, an eminent scholar, has been appointed
m master; and the result of his labours has been to increase
Immensely the popularity of the school in the county. The
gentlemen of Ipswich became proud of the school and
sezious that its reputation and the fame of Mr.l,
Biped should be extended. After the usual preliminaries
a resolution was come to; and it was determined to build a
new and a larger school and to put it on an altered and a
broader footing. 4,2.501. was the cost of the plan. The cos-
porution gave 3,000!. The public were asked for the balance.
, The public, however, were not trusted. Teo gentlemellis
'Messrs. Fraser and Hutchinson, put down 5001., and,
guaranteed the remaining 7501. The way was then cleat
'Mr. Fleury, architect, made his plans; Prince Albert
weed to lay the first stone; the land was leased ; and the
trowel prepared. The site is on the north-east part of the
town. The building will he in the Tudor style ; and it is
estimated that, in future, the school will furnish sleeping
esseesmodation for seventy, and altogether will be large
Illasegh for two hundred aed fifty boys. The free pre-
sentations are twenty-five. The ceremony of laying :the
foundation-stone was the most public the Prince had per-
furmtd in Ipswich ; and, of course, the crowd on the occa-
sion was the largest he had yet encountered here. The
arrangement for the eight-seeing was exceedingly good.
The l'rince had to enter on the ground from the road
through a tent, the passage being laid with red cloth. On
each side of the tent were erected wooden galleries for the
ladies and more gentle gentlemen, cacti gallery capa-
ble of holding two or three hundred persons. On
the ground below the galleries the well-dressed Off
the stronger sex took their places ; and in frost
of the tent, a circle of ample dimensions being BM
formed around the stone, which was the centre, were the
two or three thousand of the people of Ipswich, whale
simple function it was to cheer. The Prince was as punctual
to his appointment as a dilatory procession would allow!
him. Ile was enthusiastically received, and bowed thank,
to all around. The Mayor, Mr. Long, requested his royal
highness's attention, and read the following address :

His Royal Highness replied Mr. Mayor and gen.
tlemen, —I thank you heartily for your address, and beg
to assure you of the pleasure with which I have availed
myself of the opportunity your kindness has afforded me
of assisting at the commencement of works baying for their
object to give to this ancient and valuable institution ex-
tended means of u,efuluess. Under the superintendence of
such a man as the distinguished scholar who now presides
over it, I cannot doubt that it will amply carry out the
intention of its founder, and merit a continuance of that
support from the throne which it has hitherto received."
The architect then handed the prince the trowel, which
bare the proper inscription in Mr. RigauePs Latinity. The
rruice put the trowel into tnortae, and the mortar under
Om stone ; and the first stone of the new Grammar School ,
was then laid. Then the people, who had with evident dif- I
1 lenity restrained themselves during the ceremony, took for
granted that cheering was to re-commence. Bands began
to play, dragoons began to gallop, the royal coach to drive
to the tent, the ladies to wave their lace and I
cambric, the men to whirl round their hate and to
shout, the corporation and Mr. Rigand to bow, !
and the Prince to back, bowing, too, into the tent ; and at
a quarter past 3 the symmetrically distributed picture which
had existed a few moments before was entirely gone, the
Prince driving off, and every one else hurrying after him.
It had, however, been ordered that the royal train to
isavey the Prince to town was not to be ready until 4
Velock. The lionising of Prince Albert was therefore not
yet over. Tho time was pawed by a stroll in Christ.

' called in Ipswich the " Ancient House," a marvellously I
• antique place, now occupied by a bookseller—one mass of
' wood carving within and without, built no one knows how
many centuries ago, and, it is recorded, a hiding place, in
his day, for Charles the Second after Marston Moor. While
. his royal highness was thus engaged the people were col-
lecting in and around the streets leading to the rail-
way station. The prince was cheered into the royal car-
riage, which was lent on this occasion to the Eastern Counties
by the North Western Company, and louder than ever as the
train started. The t rain was accompanied to Colchester by the
Isslips Union Company's officials, Mr. Cohbold, choir-
