departure

PORTLLND, Ocr. 20.
The Prince of Walee left Boston in • 'pedal
train at half-past 9 o'clock this morning. He was
escorted to the Eastern Railroad by a troop of
Lancers. The streets were fairly jammed with
people, who cheered enthusiastically, waved flags
and handkerchiefs and iu every way sought to
honour their departing guest. The Prince bowed,
and smiled responses to their salutations.
At the depot he took leave of Mr. Winthrop and
other distinguished citizens, Mr. Everett bang
too unwell to be present. Major Lincoln, Senator
Sumner, and Governor Banks, accompanied
the party to Portland. Every village along the
route was crowded, more so than on any previous
journey of the Prince, and the cheers were most
enthusiastic. The special train arrived at Port-
Into! at 2 o'clock A great crowd of people,
together with • large number of curriages,* 111.111111 bled
in the streets around the Grand Trunk Railway
depot to welcome the Prince.
The Prince was received by Mayor Howard., of
this city, the British Admiral Mime, Com-
modore Seymour, and other royal oakum
Mayor Howard greeted the Prince with a brief
welcome, leading hint immediately to his carriage,
presenting him eh pcusast to the members of the
city council, who saluted him, the Prince raising
his hat in return. The Prince rode in the mayor's
barouche with the mayor, the Duke of Newcastle,
and Lord Lyons, the royal suite following in five
other carriages. They were escorted by the Ist
Regiment, under command of Colonel Smeat, con-
sisting of the following companies :—Portland
Mechanic Blum, Portland Light Infantry, Portland
Light Guard, Portland Rain Guard, anti Portland
Ride Corps, which latter acted as body guard,
and by the Norway Light Infantry, Leweaton
Light Infantry, and the Auburn Artillery, with
several bands of mimic.

The promotion proceeded through India, Middle
Tree, High, Danforth, State, Congress, and
Atlantic streets, to the Victoria which
wore built for the (heat Eastern, when royal
barge was awaiting his Royal Highness, and whence
he embarked at 15 minutes past S o'clock, the
military presenting arms. Before the Prince sin-
twirled he ,book hands medially with Lord Lyons,
the Mayor, the British Consul, and others.
As the royal barge left the wharf the British
squadron all tired a royal salute of twenty-one
guns, and similar salutes were fired from the city
and from Fort Preble. The harbour was full of
steamers, nail-busts, barges, kc., which accom-
panied the royal barge from the wharf, the latter
being surrounded by boats from the royal squadron
filled with British officers. There was a fresh
tenderly breeze blowing, and the water in the
harbour was quite rough, so that the boats
rowed quite slowly. As the flotilla neared the
royal squadron the yards were manned, and this,
with the strings of bunting and flags flying from
every point of the fleet, formed a magnificent spec-
tacle, which was witnessed by an immense coa-
l:A/till%) of people a.-Aembled uu Mount Joy, the
various piers, and every accessible place of
observation.

Ai the royal party passed the various vessela of
the squadron the Prince was received with repeated
cheers, and when he reached the Hero, at ten
minutes before 4, the royal standard was run up to
the maiu, and smother salute fired by all the fleet.
The rito,i:-4 of each vessel was instantly strimed
of the heeling, and the sailors disappeared from
aloft

At half-past four the squadron veiled, steering
out of the harbour, the Hero leading, followed by
the Nile, Ariallnv, Flying Fish, and the Styx,
saluting and being salute! by the fort as they
passed. By six o'clock they were hull down upon
the horizon, and at seven they were reported out of
sight. The Nile and Styx will leave the squadron
off Halifax.
