PRINCE ALBERT AT IPSWICH.
lesiveca, JULY 4.—The Prime dived at Shrublands,
Sir W. Mtddleton's noble seat, on Thursday evening,
and slept there. The band of the Queen's Bays were
sent out to perform in the house for the guests. and a
considerable number of persons were assembled in the
grounds to witness his Royal Highness's arrival.
Shrublends is about five miles from Ipswich, and the
road was well lined with people all the way. In some
places planks and waggons, formed into rude platforms,
covered with boughs of trees and laurel, evinced the zeal
and loyal curiosity of the people, and some very credi-
table triumphal arches were erected at intervals along the
route. The Prince was extremely well received, and
seemed gratified by the demonstrations of the people.
This morning his Royal Highness returned to Ipswich
about 11 o'clock, and proceeded to visit the sections,
proceeding about 1 o'clock to the reception rooms of the
association, where several of the most distinguished
members, foreign and native, were presented to him.
At half-past one o'clock the Prince proceeded to visit
the Ipswich Minnie]. His Royal Highness having
consented to become a patron, the President and the ma•
naging body seized upon the occasion as an opportunity
for presenting an address. The visit was made with the
Usual formalities, the streets were lined with dragoons,
police kept the passes, and all the people passed along
the route, which was very gaily decorated with flags,
banners, triumphal arches, civic emblems, and garlands
of flowers. Every balcony was filled with groups of
ladies, bright with all the vivid colours of summer, and
with dazzling parasols, bonnets, ribands, and dresses in
no disparaging contrast to their good looks. The in-
scriptions on the way hailed Prince Albert not only as
" The patron of science," but as " The elevator of the
human race," and amid such pleasing and flattering inci-
dents his Royal Highness moved onwards to the build-
ing, at which he arrived, with the punctuality that so
much distinguishes the movements of the Queen and
her Consort, just at the time fixed. Here be was re-
ceived by the Rev. Professor Henslow, the President,
and by the other members of the managing body of the
Museum, &c., and by a large assemblage of the savant
of the association, and the principal inhabitants and
vi-
sitors of Ipswich. The Prince having taken his place,
Professor Henslow delivered the following address :
To MS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT, &6.
" We, the members of the Ipswich Museum, deeply sensible
of our obligation to your Royal Highness for accepting the
office of patron to our society, are anxious to express our
gratitude for the high honour thus conferred upon us.
" All classes of the community fully appreciate the interest
taken by you in promoting every science and every art that
can minister to the progress of the nation. The true motive
which induced you to comply with our request is revealed to
us by the special interest you have ever manifested in the
support of establishments devoted to the social and intellec•
tual improvement of the working classes.
"Your Royal Highness had received assurances that our
museum was formed, and has always been condreted, on the
principle of allowing gratuitous admission to the public on
two days in every week. Parties, varying from 500 to 700
and upwards, meet here on these occasions, and the good
conduct and inquiring spirit shown by Mem are convincing
us, locally and partially, of what the happy realization of a
grand conception in the metropolis is explaining to the whole
world—that it needs only the most simple precautions to in-
sure the orderly conduct of large assemblages of people
whenever they congregate for the purpose of receiving
wholesome instruction and of partaking of rational en-
joyment.
" In the present infant state of our museum your Rued
Highness will find little of novelty likely to interest you per-,
sonally, and the arrangement of the materials that have ac-
cumulated in our hands is very incomplete; but the liberal
offers of assistance we have lately received from some of those
whose names stand foremost in the ranks of science encou-
rage us to believe that our museum will soon become as im-
portant a means of diffusing knowledge as any provincial
establishment in this class in the kingdom.
" That a merciful Providence will long continue to watch
over the happiness of the illustrious Sovereign of this fa-
voured nation and your Royal Highness is our heartfelt
prayer : and we assure you the memory of this visit will be
a constant stimulus to our exertions to render our museum
worthy of your continued patronage."
The PRINCE replied as follows: 'Professor Henslow
and gentlemen,—l thank you very sincerely for your
kind address. It was ivith much pleasure that I ac-
ceded to the request formally made to me to be-
come the patron of un institution celebrated, as I.
believe, not only from ita own measures of useful-
ness, but as an example to other towns to be of
such public advantage; and I rejoice in this oppor-
tunity of visiting it for the first time. I shall watch its
future progress with much interest, and in the principle
on which it has been founded, and in the manner in
which it has been hitherto conducted, I find the best as-
-surances that in its further development it will fulfil its
mission of aiding in the advancement of science and in
the diffusion of knowledge among the inhabitants of this
ancient town.—(Cheers.)
At the conclusion of the ceremony the Prince waked
round the museum, examining the contents of the
cases with interest, and referring occasionally to Pro-
fessor Henslow, Professor Owen, or Professor Airy for
information. After some time pent in this manner the
Prince went down stairs. where there was a dejei2ner
provided for his Royal Highness, and some of the mem-
bers and visitors, and at three o'clock proceeded in the
usual state to lay the foundation stone of one of the
towers of the nc.v grammar school of Ipswich. The
buildings, which are designed by Mr. Fleury, the ar-
chitect, are in the Tudor style of architecture, in com-
pliment to the memory of their townsman, Cardinal
Wolsey, and of his intention to endow the town with
such an institution as it is now proposed to carry out.
They embrace three sides of a quadrangle, the principal
front being 170 feet in length. There will be sleeping
rooms for 70 boys, and the school will have accommoda-
tion for the education of about 200.
The MAYOR (Mr. Loug) read the following address:—
" May it please your Royal Highness,—The time at tie
disposal of your Royal Highness being so limited, I will as
briefly as possible glance at the past history and present
position of the grammar school of this town.
"It existed in the time of King Edward VI. Our dis-
tinguished townsman, Cardinal Wolsey, took it under his
protection, and purposed extending it to a collegiate esta-
blishment, which his fall prevented. Queen Elizabeth en-
dowed and re-established it with a royal charter. It has
since continued—not, we trust, undeserving the r ame of a
roval foundation—under the charge of various head-masters,
and we have recently secured the services of a most dis-
ti• guished scholar in the person of the Rev. Stephen Rigaud,
the present head master.
"The coporation being alive to the great moral, educa.
tional, ana other advantages to be derived by this locality
under such circumstances, recently determined to erect a
more capacious and convenient establishment. In this they
have been assisted by some public-spirited individuals, and
the result has been the design for a building which has been
submitted to your Royal Highness, and of which you have
so graciously condescended to mark your approval by con-
senting to lay the first stone.
" I now, on the part of this large community, beg feebly to
express to you the deep sense we entertain of your Royal
Highness's great kindness, and our devotion to the persons
of our beloved Sovereign and yourself.
" Permit me now, through the hands of the architect, Mn.
Christopher Fleury, to present the plans and the necessary
implements for the performance of the ceremony you have
undertaken."
The PRINCE replied as follows4—Mr. Mayor a ges-
men—l thank you heartily for your address, and leg to
assure you of the pleasure with which I have availo,d
.
myself of the opportunity which your kindness has tile
forded me of assisting at the commencement of. w_cff.
having for their object to give to this ancient and tr
ble institution extended means of usefulness:
the superintendence of such a man as the distir_fvlrwlial
scholar who new presides over it I cannot °
dander, an.d

merit the continuance of that support from
which it has hitherto received.
