LIVERPOOL. WEDNESDAY.
The steam ship Bohemian, from Quebec on the
22nd ultimo, which landed her advises at London-
deny yesterday, reached the Mersey at a late hour
last night.
The papers continue to give graphic details of
the progreea of the Prince of Wales.
His Royal Highness had commenced his tour in
the United States under the most favourable aus-
pices. A telegram, dated Detroit, Sept. 20, thus
records the proceedings in that city :—"The Prince
reached Windsor at 8 p.m. by special train from
Hamilton. The royal party were escorted on board
the Detroit and Milwankie ferry from Windsor,
which had been gorgeously decorated for the occa-
sion. When the steamer reached American waters
Mayor Bahl, on behalf of the city of Detroit, wet-
omned Baron Renfrew to the United States.
Arranged in the river and covering a space of
nearly a mile in length was a large fleet of river and
lake vessels, beautifully rigged with variegated
lamps, and decorated with banners and emblems in-
scribed with words of greeting. As the royal steamer
passed through the fleet each vessel sent forth a
perfect shower of rockets and fireworks, and the
warehouses fronting the river were splendidly
illuminated. Fireworks were also let off from the
docks, and the whole river was one complete flame
of light, making one of the grandest displays ever
witnessed. The royal party landed at the foot of
Woodward-avenue, wherein, and in the adjoining
streets, 30,000 people were assembled. An escort
for the royal party, composed of the firemen of the
city, bearing torches, and most of the city military,
was intended, but the crowd was so great it was
found impossible for the procession to form. After
some delay, and the greatest confusion, the Prince
was taken away in a close carriage, and driven to
the Russell House unrecognised. His suite foi-
-1 lowed, escorted by firemen. The royal party will
remain hero until 10 o'clock to-morrow, when they
will leave for Chicago by the Michigan Central
Railroad in a special train. A gorgeous car for
the Prince's use has been provided by the superin-
tendent."

A Detroit despatch of the 21st says :—" From au
early hour this morning the streets in the vicinity
of the Russell House have been densely packed with
people, all eager to get a peep at the Prince. Just
before 10 o'clock a.m. lie made his appearance,
with two of his suite, also Mayor Bahl, the whole
party intending to take a drive through the city
before proueeding to the cars. A magnificent open
barouche, drawn by four splendid white horses, had
been provided. The party seated themselves in the
barouche, when the immense crowd gathered around
and blocked up the avenues so thickly as to make
it next to impossible for his royal highness to pro-
ceed. Cheer after cheer was given for the Prince,
and the wildest enthusiasm prevailed. The carriage
was followed by immense crowds on foot, many
banging to the wheels, while streets and aide walks
on the route were literally blocked with people,
who intercepted the royal party at every turn.
After driving through a few of the principal streets
the royal party proceeded to the depot, and took
their departure for Chicago, amid the firing of a
royal salute and other hearty demonstrations.
It Wit. 4 understood that "Baron Renfrew" would
bo received at the University of Cambridge, Massa-
chusetts, with no ustentatious display. The stn•
dents will have an opportunity of
.p.aying their
respects personally to the royal visitor in one of the
halls belonging to the university. The other demon-
stration will be exclusively of a private character.
The Prince's squadron was to leave Quebec oh
the 24th Sept. for Portland.
Great preparations were being made in Boston to
welcome the Prinoe in that city. The programme
includes a grand ball at the Academy of Music and
a banquet at the Revere House.
