and the special train proceeded vrithent further interrup-
tion to the Garnish, arriving at the aiding at a quarter part
five o'clock. The Prince was met as the stood-house by
General Sir George Brown, who had arrived at the
enmesh from Dublin shortly after two o'clock, by Major-
General Ridley, commanding the division, other general
officers, the colonels commanding the different regiments
in the encampment, Major Muons, the efficient barrack-
master, and a great number of officers and gentlemen on
horseback. Here, as elsewhere, the crowd was large end
enthusiastic in its plaudit". The Prince, who wore the
umlauts uniform of a colonel of the Guards, mounted
his horse and took his place between General Sir
George Brown and Major-General Ridley. The cortfge
then proceeded towards the encampment, a guard of
honour of the let Royal Dragoons leading the way, and •
great crowd of horsemen, hackney cars, and active pedes-
trians bringing up the rear in rather a pattered manner.
The procession passed at a slow trot across the plain for s
mile or more in the direction of the quarters prepared for
his royal highness On the brow of the hill overlooking
the head-quarters the G Battery of the Royal Horse Artil-
lery bad been stationed since four o'clock. The guns were
ready loaded, and the gunners stood with matches in hand,
watching the signal appointed for firing, which was the
hoisting of the royal flag upon the staff before the bead-
quarters block. As the Prince of Wales approached the
royal standard ran up quickly, and fluttered before a fresh
breams, the twenty-one reports were heard in quick succor
skin, and a regimental band stationed in the open space struck
up the National Anthem. When the cortege arrived within a
diatom of a hundred yards from the camp the Prince node a
few steps in advance of the commander of the forces, and
bowed gracefully to the people, in acknowledgment ef the
loyal acclamations of the hundreds who lined the road,
clinging to the railings and exerting their arms in waving
of bate and handkerchiefs, and their voices in cheering the
heir to the British throne. Within the railings upwards of •
hundred men of the Grenadier Guards, under command of
Lieut.-Colima Higginson, were stationed, and presented
arms as his royal highness, followed by • brilliant staff,
rode up to the doors of the budding set apart for his
reception. The Prince dismounted, and the people cheered
again. He entered the house, but after a few moments came
out again, and stood at the vestibule while the general officers
in attendance were formally presented by Sir George Brown.
His royal highness theo reontered his apartmeota, and
did not afterwards make his appearance, though the crowd
lingered about the entrance in hopes of catching another
glimpse of the Prince of Wales. By half-peat 6 o'clock
the people dispersed, with the exception of a few loitering
privates and curious women from the camp. Subsequently
the Prince dined with the officers of the lit Battalion at
the Orernadier Guards, of which regiment he is colonel.

Liseaderes Nero :—" Nothing could be more judi-
cious and becoming than the provision which has been
made for the accommodation of his royal highness. The
osteissible ehjeet of his visit has never been lost sight of
for a moonset, end while the furniture is neat and the de-
ooratioos elegant, there has been no attempt at finery or
display, and the heir apparent to the crown. while
surged for a while in the study of his military
profession, is lodged and attended to with a quiet simplicity
which would please in the case of a nobleman of rank and
lea uence, but which is truly gratifying when the personage
for whose comfort all the arrangements are made is the
future monarch of this empire. The visit of his royal high-
ness will effect two important objects—it will gratify the
loyalty of the Irish people, and it will give the Prime him-
self a knowledge of the active duties of life in the camp.
So plain and unostentatious is the group of huts known
as the Head-quarters Block that the strangers would

-quarters lie at the distance of some hundred yards
from the main body of the camp, and in the centre of the
block he will notice a small hut with white canvas roof,
fronted by a small but neat garden. This unpretending
structure is the residence of the Prince. Its interior has
been fitted up anew, with due regard to elegance and com-
fort. The walls of the apartments are oovered with white
paper, the room, are fitted with the necessary camp furoi-
tore, but while every preparation is in the hest tote, there
is nothing unusual or showy. There is nothing, in fact, to
distinguish the exterior of the building from the exterior of
any ordinary hut, except the white roof and the brief die.

It is understood that the duration of the Prince's stay at
