PRINCE ALFRED IN EDINBURGH.

On Tuesday morning his Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, accompanied by Major Co well, left Holy-
rood Palace on foot, and proceeded to the Free
Church Assembly Hall to listen to the opening
address of Lord Curriehill, President of the Juri-
sprudence Department of the Social Science Asso•
ciation. After the conclusion of his lordship's
address, Prince Alfred and Major Cowell paid a visit
to the Parliament House, where they were met by
Professor Lyon Playfair, CM., who had the honour
of conducting his Royal Highness through the
Great Hall, where the learned professor pointed out
the principal paintings, statues, and marble busts
which adorn that magnificent hall. The recently
executed portrait of Lord Brougham was examined
and much admired by his Royal Highness. The
Rev. Dr. Lee had the honour of being presented to
Prince Alfred in the Great Hall. The Prince was
then conducted by Professor Playfair to the room
in which the Social Economy Department was
sitting, ar,d where Colonel Torrens was reading a
paper on " The Relation between Great Britain and
her Colonies." After remaining some time in this
department, his Royal Highness was next con-
ducted to the department of public health, in which
was being read a paper by Miss Florence Night-
ingale en "How People may Live and not Die in
India." Here, as in the other departments which
the Prince honoured by his presence, his Royal
Highness was greeted with hearty and spontaneous
bursts of cheering, the audience in each department
invariably rising to their feet, and remaining in
that position till the Prince was seated. In the
evening the Prince went to the University to attend
the grand conversazione given there by the Profes-
sors. The Prince was attired in the Highland
costume, in which he appeared to very great ad-
vantage.
