TO BELGIUM.

GLASGOW, Tarmanav NIGHT.
The Duke of Edinburgh arrived here yesterday for
the purpossof inaugurating the statue which has just been
erected in George's-square, in memory of his late father,
the Prince Consort. He was accompanied by Dr. Lyon
Playfair ; Lieutenant Vaig, Equerry-in-Waiting ; General
Hamilton ; the Hon. Colonel Francis Cockburn, and
Captain Graham.
He was received at the railway station by Lord Bel-
haven, Lord-Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, who introduced
the Lord-Provost of Glasgow, Sheriff Sir Archibald Ali-
son, and Mr. Peter Clonston. Outside the station • kris
crowd had assen4led to welcome the Prince, the Queen's
Own Yeomanry Cavalry keeping the ground. The party,
amid the loud plaudits of the assembly, at once drove off
to the residence of the Lord Provost, where the Duke had
luncheon.
After making • detour of the city, through which he
was loudly cheered, be was conducted to the City-hall to
receive the freedom of the city, arriving there • few mi-
nutes after two o'clock. The Prince was heartily wel-
comed by the chief citizens, their vrivea and daughters.
He wore the Highland costume, the tartan being that
known as Royal Stuart. The National Anthem having
been played by the city organist,
The Lean Paovosr proceeded to confer the citizenship
on the Prince, delivering some appropriate remarks.
HL BoTA fllonassa, in reply, said—My Lord Provost,
magistrates, and members of the town council of Glasgow.
—I aooept with feelings of pleasure and gratitude the
honour which you have conferred upon me by enrolling
me as a burgess of this ancient city. You have
done justice to my desire to cultivate friendly relations be-
tween the people of this country and myself, and in this
sense, I am glad to find that I have now aright to consider
myself a citizen of Glasgow—cheer)--and to share with
my fellow-citizens those feelings of pride which its achieve-
ments in the arts entitle us to entertain, It is no small
boast that this city was the birth-place of James Watt—
(cheers)—and that his access to one of the popular scien-
tific institutions of the town laid the foundation for his
marvellous improvements in the steam-engine ; neither
am I, • sailor, likely to forget that the practical applica-
tion of steam to navigation was first made on the Clyde,
which has since that time been deepened and improved by
science and loyal energy, so that Glasgow has become
one of the grand commercial emporiums of the world.
(Cheers.) The first steamer, the Comet, constructed by Bell.
with its forty-feet keel and ten-and-a-half-feet beam, was
truly a pigmy by the aide of the gigantic men of war and
ships of commerce now built by Napier and other
eminent shipbuilders on the banks of the Clyde, and
which, in the exercise of my profession I have often ad_
mired. (Loud cheers.) I thank you sincerely for the kind
and encouraging words which you have addressed to me as
an officer of the navy. This branch of the national service
keenly appreciates the support and commendation of •
great commercial city such as Glasgow. It will be a
source of pleasure to me to repeat to the Queen your ap-
preciation of the patriotic and noble qualities which en-
deared my lamented father to this country. (Applause.)
I desire earnestly to follow in his footsteps so far as my
abilities permit me, by giving constant attention, as be
did, tothopromotion of the sciences, arta, manufacturevand
commerce, and to those social improvements of the people
which tend to increase their knowledge and to promote
their well-being. The statue which is to be inaugurated
this day, while it furnishes your lasting record of the worth
of the Prince Consort, will also, I trust, be an encourage-
ment to each of our citizens to labour for the general good
of the country, by proving that the cultivation of the
peaceful arts is • claim to honour and fortitude which the
people at large are glad to recognise.
At the conclusion of his Royal Highness's reply the
audience rose ma'am and cheered heartily.
A procession was then formed, including all the corporate
bodies, city clergy, and the members of the learned pro-
fessions, escorted by the Queen's Own Yeomanry Cavalry

The Emperor left this morning for Brunn.

The grand levee took place yesterday. The
place of reception was the Muses, a very handsome and
commodious palace-like building, near the Place Royal,
and in the " place " or square in front of this the volun-
teer officers gathered soon after midday. The regiment of
grenadiers marched into the square with bands playing,
sad lined the ground to receive their Majesties on their
arrivaL The volunteer officers who were to be received
entered the ?inane, and, passing up a noble staircase, were
ushered into a splendid picture gallery, containing some of
the finest works of the Flemish school. This gallery was
the crush room, and in a very short time, by ad-
mirable arrangements, the large body of volunteer officers
were arranged in procession in the moat orderly manner,
and proceeded to the royal presence. In the ante-chamber
of the throne-room they were marshalled in single rank,
and so entered the throne-room itself, and after the formal
reception, made their emit by an opposite door. The King
and Queen stood in front of the throne, the King wearing
the uniform of a general, and the Queen a black satin
dress and an ermine cape, having also the order of Isabel
of Portugal, an .Austrian order, a sash of scarlet from the
right shoulder, said a anklet and a diadem of diamonds-
On the right of the throne were the military officers of the
royal household, sad roar ladies—Of honour. There were
also present the Minister of France, and the secretaries of
I the English, French, and Dutch legations, as well as all
the King's ministers, all of whom wore the most brilliant
I uniforms ; and amongst the visitors was the Lord Mayor
of London, who wore the uniform of a deputy-lieutenant
of the county of Middlesex. The first to be presented
were the French officers, and they were followed by
Colonel Lindsay and Lord Bury, and the other English
Madera. Colonel Lindsay did not pass out of the room,
for he was invited by the King to stand by his side, and
he did so while the long and continuous line passed be-
fore their Majesties. The King did not allow all
the volunteer officers to go by with merely the
formal bow, but stepped forward and, shaking one
or 'two by the hand whom he knew, chatted freely
witk them. After the English volunteer officers, the
Dutch came, and with several of them the King entered
into conversation, after which he talked with the
ministers. The ceremony ended, the King and court de-
parted, the royal couple being loudly cheered by the people.
Immediately after the conclusion of the levee a commu-
nication was made that their Majesties desired to have a
photograph of the various officers who had been presented,
and for this purpose they were requested, as the weather
was most delightful, to proceed to the gardens in the rear of
the palace to be taken in a group, M. Ghemsr, of Brussels,
being the photographer employed.
The long range shooting was still proceeding at the Eng-
lish " Wimbledon" targets, as also on the part of the Bel-
gians at the Tir National, but none of the many competi-
tions have as yet been decided in consequence of the largo
number of entries.
During yesterday afternoon, amongst the amusements
provided was that of a promenade concert given by the
band of the First Surrey Rifles (which is exceedingly
popular throughout the city) at the Zoological-gardens,
with the charitable object of aiding the fund for the
destitute families that have sustained losses of parents
