these mills will be in full operation, and, with the

PRICE,

plight. But let anyone go through the same amount
of exposure in England, and he will an certainly be
cut off by consumption as the bishop and Mr. Birrup
were by fever and dysentery. When I began to
travel I walked through streams, and braved rains
in the same way the bishop did; but I found that
I had fever continually, and gave up the habit,
though it was really pleasant to have the extremi-

ties cooled. You will perform a good service if you
warn all Europeans going to the tropics to take as
good care of their health there as they do at home.
In addition to the loss of invaluable services, these
untimely deaths are a great misfortune to the cause
of African civilisation, because people immediately
ascribe them to the inevitable effects of the climate,
and with you say " it is of no use to send mission-
arics where they cannot live." In our expedition,

though we have undergone exposure to which no
missionary need subject himself, we have had but
two deaths among a large number of Europeans in
four years, and these were caused by detention
sorely against our will in most unwholesome locali-
ties.

To-morrow his royal highness has, indeed, a
and fatiguing day. He leaves the Mayor's
long
residence in procession at 11, keeping along the
road on the edge of Shircoat-moor, where one
of the most extensive and magnificent views, in
England at least, is to be gained down Todmorden-
valley, in the most beautiful nook of which " Pye-
nest," the seat of Colonel Edwards, M.P., is
situated. The prospect from this part is almost un-
equalled; nor do the long stalks of chimneys which
occasionally appear from between the bases of the
lofty hills at all disturb its beauty ; the very smoke
they give is almost a picturesque adjunct that sets
off the foliage above them and the cool rounded
blue of the distant hills to an advantage which those
who only see smoke and stacks of chimneys, pure
and simple, would scarcely credit. On the right of
ed
of
the road, on the most elevated part of Shircoat-
moor, the Prince is to be shown the magnificent

the masters used to come on Monday and sell the
proceeds of their looms piece by piece. Round this
vast quadrangle, and enclosing it on all sides, are
two-storied buildings of some height looking on to
the square, and the windows and balconies of these
structures give to the enclosure (which is as large as
Trafalgar-square) the appearance of a square color •

that the Prince has not seen elsewhere before. From
the Piece-hall the procession afterwards passes by
North-bridge to All Souls Church, on Haley-hill,
where Mr. Gilbert Scott has erected a gem of Gothic
architecture, the church founded by Col. Ackroyd,
and said to be the most beautiful modern structure
of the kind in the kingdom. A short stay will be
made here to inspect the interior, and then the party
return to the Town-hall, which will be formally
opened by his Royal Highness, who, after a brief
.unch, will hurry off to the station to commence his
long journey back to Osborne.
The festivities at this town, however, by no means
terminate with the departure of the Prince, but, on
the contrary, will be prolonged in feasts, banquets,
fireworks, and illuminations till the end of the week
almost.

No great work can be accomplished without pain
and suffering, and even death. Those who, with
you, " would not say a word to damp the energies
of missionaries and of those that send them," must
expect to hear cases like that of the noble-minded
Indian officer who lately fell a victim to gigantic
labours during the Indian famine, or that of Lord
Canning, and try to place a slight drag on the ima-
gination. Horror seems to lay hold on you at the
bare mention of " Elephant Swamp." I am actually
to pass through it to-morrow, and am only sorry
that the enormous herds of elephants—we have seen
800 in at once—have become so knowing that we
have no chance of getting a steak or a foot. But

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

MONDAY NIGHT.

At five minutes past three the Royal train ar-
rived at the station, the platform being occupied by
the Mayor, Mr, John Crossley, the corporation, and
a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. A bat-
tery of guns, mounted on the Beacon-hill, and
manned by the Heckmondwike Artillery Volunteers
fired the Royal salute. The Prince, who was ac-
companied by Sir C. Wood, General Knollys, and
Major Teesdale, was received with the ordinary
presentation of arms by the 4th West York Rifles,
under the command of Colonel Akroyd, and he at
once proceeded, acoompanied by his suite, to the
carriages provided by the Mayor and Sir Francis
M.P., in which they were rapidly
Crossley,
driven to Manor-house, the residence of the Mayor.
The railway station-yard was densely crowded,
but, owing to the rapid manner in which the Prince
was conducted to his carriage, popular enthusi-
asm was only partially evoked—in fact, it was
not known by the uninitiated that the young man
plainly dressed in mourning costume was the future
King of England until
a t he
then la
little disappoint-
ment was expressed that he had not been identified
earlier. A little before 5 o'clock his Royal High-
ness, accompanied by his own suite, Sir C. Wood,
and the Mayor, paid a visit to Dean Clough Mills,
where the firm of John Crossley and Son carry on
the manufacture of carpets and rugs on a very ex-
tensive scale. Afterwards his Royal Highness was
entertained at dinner at Manor-heath. A very
select circle were invited to meet him. In the
evening a serenade, deprived of half its charm
owing to the absence of the Princess of Wales,
was
given in the grounds of the Manor-heath by a picked
s
choral body of 100 voices selected from the Halifax
and Huddersfield sections of
d the
the Yorkshire Choral
Union, which has already h

Mr.of
Burton, organist of the Leeds parish church,
was the director on the occasion. During the ban.
quet at the mayor's house several favourite glees
and madrigals were performed in one of the corri-
dors by Mrs. Sunderland, Miss Freeman, Mr. In-
kersall, and Mr. Hinchliffe. The streets were
crowded until a late hour in the evening, spectators
being interested in witnessing
