Journey of the Prince and Princess of Wales•

EDINBURGH, Saturday.
Yesterday forenoon the Price and Princess spent
two hours and a half in driving through the town
• and visiting Holyrood Palace and the (Lstle. Their
royal highnesses and suit© left the Douglas Hotel
in two open carriages and pair. All the morning a
large number of people hung about in front of the
hotel in the hope of seeing the royal pair, and after
the carriages came to the door the multitude rapidly
increased. On coming out their Royal Highnesses
were loudly cheered by the crowd as their carriage
moved slowly through. On reaching Princes-street
the royal party drove east by Waterloo-place, Re-
gent-road, and Abbey-hill to Holyrood. Here the
Prince had the opportunity of showing the Princess
the palace of his ancestors on the Scottish throne.
With the apartments of Queen Nlary the Princess
appeared deeply interested, and examined with
much attention the relics and memorials of the
Stuarts that are preserved there. The royal party
also visited the picture gallery, with its long line
of kings painted to order, and with its more recent
accession of some genuine royal portraits of the
15th century. They were next shown the apart-
ments of her Majesty Queen Victoria, and lastly the
beautiful but ruined chapel. Their Royal High-
nesses were conducted through the building by Sir
William Gibson Craig, Lord Clerk Register, Mr.
Matheson of the Board of Works, Mr. Gough,
Keeper of her Majesty's rooms, and others. Their
visit occupied about three-quarters of an hour,
and as they came oat they found a large con-
course awaiting them, attracted by the tidings
that they had gone to visit the Palace. There
was no force to keep order, except the ordinaryguard
at the Palace and a few police ; for an escort of the
3d Hussars which had come up from Peirshill was
turned into the new stable-yard, the Prince having
signified his wish not to be so accompanied. But
there was no need of military to control the people,
whose only fault was their too loyal eagerness
to get near the carriage. Without any difficulty
the crowd were got to open out and let the carriage
pass towards the Queen's drive, and many enjoyed
a view of the Royal pair to their hearts' content,
and raised a hearty cheer to signify their pleasure
and welcome. On entering the drive the carriage
took to the right towards St. Leonard's, and many
of the people immediately ran the opposite way, ex-
pecting that the circuit would be made; but after
having gone up that part of the drive which skirts
Salisbury Crags the carriage turned, repassed the
Palace, drove up the Canongate, High-street, Lawn-
market, and Castle-hill to the Castle, followed in
these populous thoroughfares by great and applaud-
ing crowds.
Their Royal Highnesses reached the Castle about
20 minutes before one, and alighted in front of the
officers' barracks. They were received here by
Major-General Walker, C. 8., commanding the dis-
trict, and Major Hyde Page, aide-de-camp, also by
Lieutenant-Colonel Lockhart, 92d Highlanders, and
Fort Major Macdonald. They were first taken to
Mons Meg Battery, and shown the splendid view
of the New Town and shores of the Firth of Forth
—a scene which, in favourable circumstances, is
equalled by few in point of variety, richness, and
beauty. The day was, however, very dull, the sky
being heavily clouded, and the distant view ob-
scured. It was the only day for many weeks that
the fine prospect was not seen to advantage. The
attention of their Royal Highnesses was drawn to
the curious old gun, Mons Meg, so long regarded
as a giant among pieces of ordnance. The contrast
the lumbering and broken-winded monster
shows with the Armstrongs of modern date
seemed much to amuse the visitors. The
Prince and Princess were then shown the
regalia of Scotland, and the various other ancient
jewels belonging to the Scottish Crown exhibited
in the dark apartment in the tower, end were next
conducted to the apartments in which Queen Mary
resided when a prisoner in the Castle, and where
she gave birth to James VI. of Scotland. Finally,
they were shown through the armoury, and left the
Castle about 20 minutes past one. At the gate they
were again hailed by a large assemblage, and as
the carriage drove slowly down the esplanade their
Royal Highnesses received a perfect ovation, crowds
pressing round the carriage and cheering and
waving hats and handkerchiefs with great hearti-
ness and delight. In the narrow thoroughfare of
Castle-hill there was a perfect blockade, and the
Royal carriage did not escape from the crowd till
on reaching the Assembly-hall a deour was made .
by Castle-terrace, and the Royal party now drove'
rapidly round the Castle, returning by Princes-
street. In East Princes-street a crowd bad
gathered, and the windows were thronged with
ladies and gentlemen, in the hope that a visit would
be paid to the National Gallery, but, although the
Royal party passed on, the spectators were fully
gratified by the view afforded them. The Royal
party returned to the hotel about half-past 1, ap-
parently much pleased with their visit, and having
gratified many thousands of the inhabitants by
appearing among them and so graciously responding
to their acclamations. Shortly after their Royal
Highnesses had returned to the hotel rain began to
fall, and by two o'clock it poured down in perfect
torrents. Up to the hour of their departure—half-

past three o'clock—the rain was incessant, and fell
in such density that all who were exposed to it were
in a few minutes wet to the skin. The tonsequence
was that the streets were almost cleared of spec-
tators, although many took available points of shel-
ter, in the hope of getting a glimpse of the Prince
and Princess as they passed. A great crowd bad
been expected, and preparation was made for it
by the presence of a strong military force.
Their services, however, were completely un-
necessary, and they had to sustain one of
the most thorough drenchings that it may ever
fall to their lot to experience. The Hussars
had their overcoats attached to their saddles, and
gladly received the order to put them on, but the
Highlanders had come upon the ground quite un-
protected, and appeared in rather a woeful plight.
On the platform at the station the band and a
guard of honour of the 92d Regiment were drawn
up. The Lord Provost, the Sheriff, the Major-
General and Staff, the commanding officers in
garrison, and several railway directors were also on
the platform. The Prince, on leaving, cordially
shook hands with the Lord Provost, the Sheriff,
and Colonel Lockhart, and a beautiful bouquet was
presented to the Princess' by a young lady, the
daughter of one of the directors. The Royal train
left Edinburgh precisely at half-past 3, and ar-
rived at Larbert at 4.16, where the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway engine was replaced by one
belonging to the -Scottish Central, and the train
transferred from the charga of the directors of the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Company to those of the
Scottish Central. Their Royal Highnesses arrived
at Perth at 26 minutes before 6, and were received
on the platform by the Ent of Dunmore, with
whom their Royal Highnesses cordially shook
hands and entered into conversation, and also by a
guard of the 74th Highlanders and 3d Hussars,
the Lord Provost and magistrates of Perth, the
Sheriff, and several of the railway directors. The
Prince and Princess then entered the carriage which
was in waiting to convey them to the British Hotel,
which had been selected on account of its proximity
to the railway station, and as they drove along they'
were received by the crowd with loud cheering-
The afternoon was showery, and this made the
assemblage of spectators much smaller than it
would have been had the weather been fine. About
half past 6 o'clock the Prince left tho hotel and
paid a visit to Lord Stormont at Scone Palace.

To-day, at 20 minutes before one o'clock, their
Royal Highnesses left Perth en route for Balmoral-
An immense crowd accompanied them from the
hotel to the station, where a guard of honour of the
3d Hussars and the 74th Highlanders were drawn
up. On the platform, where a largo number of
ladies and gentlemen had assembled, the Prince and
Princess were received by the Provost and Magi-
strates of Perth, the Earl of Dunmore, the Sheriff,
and others. As the train left the station, their
Royal Highnesses were loudly cheered. The ReYal
party left Perth exactly at 12.40,
and would iirrivt'
at Balmoral shortly before 8 o'clock.
