Ile New York journals give graphic details of
the progress of the Prince of Wales in Canada.
The Prince landed at Montreal on Sritur-
,l.,e morning, the 25th ult., and was re-
„lce.l with the most enthusiastic demon-
.tratin. of welcome by about 80,000 'people.
The occasion was probably the most striking ever
sitne...ed in Canada. The streets were beautifully
deeorated, and the procession which accompanied
Royal Highness from the wharf after the. pre-
-ctitation of all address from the Mayor, embodied
all the civic societies, the clergy, the tire
brigade, the regular military, and the volunteers,
te.t only of the city, but of distant places. One
military company from Boston took part in the
ceremonies. The pr cession proceeded immediately
to the Crystal Palace, which was formally opened
by the Prince ; after which he rode in an open car
to the Victoria-bridge, which he completed by
loving the corner stone with appropriate ceremonies.
During the day he received the ixamuittee of New
York citizens.

I hi Sunday, the 26th, the Prince attended divine
*.rvice at the Englith cathedral, admittance to
which could only be had by ticket, au that an tin-
wrinly crowd was avoided.

On Monday', the 27th, the Prince witnesaed a
variety of Indian games on the cricket ground, and
ea. much &mural. There were several thoussods
~f pectators, including the Boston Fusiliem, whose
band played "God save the Queen," the men un-
covering, and then " Yankee Doodle," the Prince
uncovering. Later in the day the Prince held
a levte, which was numerously attended, and at
which several suldrisets were presented. Included
in the presentations were 139 Americans. During
the day, arrangements wore concluded with the
New York committee, who presented the following
Adman :
