.PLY„MOUTH, TROISAM
Thfil duty of wa&is in the abow-yard yesterday
for the Prance of Wales, and afterwards that of
rune mg after his royal highness—no light one—
whe n he had arrived, obliged me to leave several of
the day's collateral events in arrear ; and I must
therefore commence this day's letter by supplying
the deficiency. His royal highneen messed over
from Mount Edgct i unbe n Lord Mount-Edg-
mamba's barge to the Victualling-yard, where the
usual preparatieas for a royal leading had been
made. The pathway was oovered with
scarlet cloth. The guard of honour was
furnished by the 28th Royal Devon Re-
giment in the district, under the command
of Captain Williams, and the band of the regiment
played the loyal music suitable to the occasion. A
troop of the Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by
Captain Mutable= waited to act as escort, and
carriages were in atiendance ta take the royal peaty
to the show-yard. Previous to his royal lughnesa's
arrival, the Viettudling-yard had gradually filled
with national and local notabilities. There were
the Lords of the Admiralty, headed Sy hia Grace
the Duke of Somerset, then there were the dock
authorities, the Port Admiral, the general coin-
mandingthe district, Lord Templetown, and several
others, the record of whose names could not
be expected to make much sensation in a
plitoe so far off as London. At tea
minutes to one the ships of war and the
shore battery simultaneously opened fire in
the shape of royal salutes. The royal barge then
drew up to the landing-plaoi, and the party, con-
sisting of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Pnnoess at Wales, Lady de Grey (in attendance on
her royal highness), Lord Mount Rdgcumbe, kc.,
landed, The mayor and town council of Plymouth
were waiting to pay their respects, and after the
usual municipal. homage, the carriages were entered,
and the procession moved off to the cattle show.
The streets were densely crowded by the working
population, whose loyalty was unbounded, but
whose physical condition might be con-
siderably improved, and the houses were hung
with every national flag in the world except the
French irtoolour—an omission which, although of
course entirely accidental, gave, I understand, con-
siderable umbrage to the French officers. In my
last letter I mentioned how the visitors in the
show-yard were thrown off the scent, and now
when you learn that they numbered nearly 16,000
people, and had paid somewhereabout2,oool. fords
privilege of seeing the Prince and Princess of Wales,
you can account for the succession of frantic
stampedes across the show ground, to which I
alluded in my last letter. The royal party were
kept as free from v the pressure of the
crowd as possible, but the anxiety of the people to
see the young and graceful aa well as illustrious
couple who had condescended to come by sea all
the way down channel in half a gale of wind to
visit their cattle show defied all restraint.
PLYMOUTH, JOLT 20, EVINING4

A 4)4m . was given to-day at Mount Edg-
combs to about 100 of the Ate of the neighbour-
hood, invited to meet the Prince and Princess of

Edgcumbe's yacht, and in the evening the Prince
dined with Viscount Templetown, Commander-in-
Chief of the Western District, at the Government-
house, Mount Wise. The party consisted princi-
pally of the army and navy officers in commission
at the port, and the officers of the French squadron

very complimentary terms by the chairman. In ackeow-
lodging the toast, Mr. Torreon (*.Neely expressed his thank"
to the electors of Finsbury for the high and hoeourable
position in which they had placed him. He should go to
she Howe of Commove repreeseting, through their kW-
nom, a larger number of polled voters than any other mem-
ber of that assembly. But he felt that in proportion to
the obligation laid upon him should be his endeavour to
redeem it. (Hear, hear.) He could only ray that all his
faculties should be at their diepose. He should do his
best to redeem every pledge he bad made. And if

that both sides appeared to be satisfied with the result.
For handl, he would Indy sly that he was glad there was

minister or • ministry to action. (Hear, bear.) Mahar.
