THE PRINCE OF TVALES AT COS-

STANTINOPLE.

The Levant Herald of the 21st instant gives the
following account of the arrival of his Royal High-
ness in Constantinople, and of Ilia rcctiption by the
Sultan :

subject of Polish affairs. When a former Grand
Duke Constantine was in Poland, in command of
the Polish army, the Poles possessed great political
advantages over the Russians, by which no small
amount of jealousy is said to have been occasioned.
No difficulty will be caused by the existence of any
such jealousy now, for, in the present day, even
Russia possesses an amount of liberty which the
Poles have learnt to envy.—Times.

The Osborne, with his Royal IlighttetA the Prince
of Wales on board, reached the Bosphorus yester-
day afternoon, escorted from the Dardanelles by the
imperial frigate Taif and her Majesty's steamers

Monday night from the Dardanelles reported the
passage of the royal yacht through the strait at 7,30

incognito by dressing ship, manning yards, and
thundering out a salute with
the royal standard at
her main. The Corvette behind repeated the boom-
ing compliment, which was re-.echoed d
oe in rapid turn
by the shore batteries at Tophane and Seraglio
Point. Almost before the last reverberation had died
away up the Horn 'and, across over the Asian hills,
their Highnesses the Grand Vizier, A'dli Pacha and
Capitan Pacha—the foriter dignitaries, in a palace
caique, and the latter in his state barge—boarded
the Osborne to tender his Majesty the Sultan's wel-
come to the royal tourist. Mushaver Pacha (Sir A .
Slade), the admiral of the port, followed a few
minutes later in his 10-oared gig. The visit of the
Grand Viiter..who was itrfull uniform, and wore
the Osmanie in brilliants—lasted about half au
hour, after which his highness and A'ali Pacha
rowed back to the palace. About a quarter of an
hour later the Prince, accompanied by Sir Henry
Bulwer, and Mr. Pisani, the first dragoman to H.M.
Embassy, followed in the Capitan Pacha's barge,
and in company with his highness. And here oc.
curred perhaps the only slip in the etiquette of the
day's ceremonial. The Capitan Pacha—women.
tarily put out perhaps by the novelty of doing the
honours to a Prince of Wales--entered his barge
first, instead of awaiting the Prince at the foot of
the steamer's ladder. His Royal Highness, how-
ever, adroitly failed to notice the blunder, and
quietly took his place in the centre of the stern-
sheets. The ambassadors folio wed, and a few sweeps
of the powerfully-manned oars shot the elegant craft
alongside the palace stairs. There his Royal High.
ness was received by the Grand Vizier and the first
chamberlain, and a few steps behind by the Sultan
himself, who conducted his royal visitor inside the
palace, whilst his Majesty's private band, drawn up
close by, tendered the musical salute of " God save
the Queen."

At the interview which followed the only per-
sonages present were their Highnesses the Grand
Vizier and A'ali Pacha, and his Excellency Sir H.
Bnlwer. At its close his Majesty accompanied the
Prince to the door of the palace, in front of which
the court carriages which were to convey his Royal
Highness and suite to the British Embassy were
waiting. There also—though hardly distinguish-
able from the dense crowd of natives and other
foreigners—were waiting nearly the whole of the
male members of our own community, who, as did
many others of the attendant crowd, uncovered as
the carriage containing the Prince, the ambassador,
and General Bruce drove out of the palace gates.
Hia Royal Highness appeared to recognise
the national salute, and bowed freely to

his greeting fellow-countrymen on either side of
the living double-wall though which the carriage

aogseeley followed otthwr troop
the embassyofftcials, the cortege proceeded at a brisk
trot up the hill, past the Bellevue Cafe, into the
Grand Champs—where the Artillery guard was
turned out in readiness to salute—and so down into
the main street past Galata Serai—where again the
main guard was under arms—up to the palace of
the embassy. Dense crowds of curious spectators
thronged both sides of this 1014 route, fully a half
of the windows on either side of which were also
packed with curious "natives," keenly anxious to
catch a glimpse of the future sovereign of Great
Britain.
An hour later bis Majesty the Sultan returned
his Royal Highness's visit at the embassy, and, with
this compliment of the round of the imperial and
royal courtesies, ended the ceremonial observances
of this first day of the first visit ever made by a
Prince of Wales to Constantinople.

THE JAPANESE EMBASSY.

BIRMINGHAM, MAY 29.

The Japanese Ambassadors arrived here a little
before one o'clock to-day, from Liverpool, by the
London and North-Western Railway, the Mayor
having received a telegram notifying their intended
visit at 11 last night.
A great crowd at the station awaited the arrival
of these distinguished visitors, and a troop of the
Ist Royals were drawn up on the platform. The
Mayor (Mr. Manton), attended by the Town Clerk,
r from

into
awaited the train, and accompanying his worship
were several gentlemen who have " passed the
chair," including Sir John Eatcliff, Mr. Alderman
also a considerable attendance of the other members
of the corporate body.

gentlemen.

The first place visited was that of Messrs. Eking-
ton and Mason. The Ambassadors were conducted
over the various workshops of the establishment,
with which they seemed much pleased, and
many questions were asked by the principal mem-
ber of the Embassy. The next visit was the world-
famous glass works of Messrs. Chance, of Spon-lane,
where " the reception" was by Mr. R. L. Chance,
the senior partner, by whom they were conducted
over the enormous establishment, which spreads on
both sides of the railway and canal, and covers
many acres. Here the various processes in connec-
tion with the manufacture of crown glass were ex-
hibited. The whole party appeared greatly inte-
rested in this manufacture, but especially when the
process of producing sheet glass was shown.
' The Bromford-lane Ironworks (Mr.W. H. Paw")
were next visited. Here they saw the various
paddling
and cesses in the manufacture of iron, from
and rolling (a preliminary stage) into bar
erc mi.
The various descriptions of raaeli;jaineanYy
questions
mined with great minuteness, a
were asked. The visit to these works occupied a
'
long time (until nearly 6 in
the evening). The con-
