Journey of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

EDINBURGH, Saturday.
Yesterday forenoon the Prince and Princess spent
two hours and a half in driving through the town
and visiting Holy rood Palace and the Castle. 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 doorthe multitude rapidly
increased. On coming out their Itoyal 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. '!heir
visit occupied about three-quarters of an hour,
and as they came out they found a large con-
course awaiting them, attracted by the tidings
that they had goblet to visit the Palace. There
was no force to keep order, e.rcept 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•
triet, and Major Hyde Page, aide-de-camp, also by
d
Lieutenant-Colonel Lockhart, 92d Highlanders, and
Fort Major Modonald. 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, 1:
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 Royat 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 tue
regalia of Scotland, and the various other ancient
.
jewels belonging to the Scottish Crown exhibited
in the dark apartment in the tower, hnd 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 cacriage 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
on
yoycaal carriage did not escape from the crowd till

a crowd had

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, UP;
parently much pleased with their visit, and having
gratified many thousands of the inhabitants by
appearing among them and so graciously responding
