ROYALTY ABROAD.

The members of the present Royal Family seem to ne
determined to see the world. The Prince of Wales
is in Turkey, Prince Alfred is in Australia, and
Prince Arthur is in Ireland. To begin with the
eldest, the reception of the Prince of Wales and
his wife by the Sultan seems to have rather startled some
of our contemporaries. Only in the " Arabian Nights"
(says the Times) could a parallel be found for the descrip-
tion of the reception. All the scenes of Asiatic imagery
are here reproduced. Splendid palaces, glittering retinues,
brilliant jewels, ravishing music, exquisite repasts, and
obsequious slaves—all placed with Oriental hospitality at
the command of the visitor—form the familiar figures of
the narrative. The strangers clap their bands, and swarthy
attendants appear with trays of gold and silver plate, rich
fruits, dazzling gems, and dainty sweetmeats. Al.road an
ever-ready cavalcade of guard?, carriages for the streets,
and calques for the stream bespeak the solicitude of the
Imperial host. But all these inagniEcent attentions sink
into nothing compared with the eempliments (flexed by
the Sultan himself. In honour of his royal visitors, the
Commander of the Faith:ul gave a dinner and wait to a
ball. If that seems hut a small matter, Kt the reader
understand that no dinner was ever given at the Turkish
Court before. The Emperor of the Ottomans broke
through the traditional etiquette of the Sublime
Porte for the sake of his illustrious guests, and
stepped boldly cut of the circle to which the ceremonial
of his rank had confined him. But though do se incidents
may be the most interesting, they are not the most
instructive parts of the story. A change has come over
the Turks and their capital. 'With just enough of the old
Asiatic fashions to give picturesqueness to the scene, there
were mingled very evident signs of innovation and
progress. The Turkish infantry carry breech-loading
rifles ; the artillery have Armstrong guns ; heavy iron-
clads are afloat in the Bosphorus; and it is said that the
Sultan could put 800,000 men in the field. Constanti-
nople has become a well-managed city. The gas service
is good, the water supply abundant, the police force
well organised. The relics of the Byzantine Empire have
well-nigh disappeared, the ancient walls of the city are
marked for destruction, and it is only within the precincts
of the old Imperial Palace that monuments of the past
are still standing.
' The Duke of Edinburgh seemed as popular in his second
as in his first visit to Australia. The South Australian
Advertiser thus describes the visit to the colony :—" On
Monday, February 15, Adelaide was subjected to a double
excitement through the arrival of the Galatea with his
Royal Highness, Ole Duke of Edinburgh. and the mail
steamer with Sir James Fergusson, the new
Governor. Sir James and Lady Edith Fergusson
had taken their passages for Melbourne, but came
direct to Adelaide on hearing that the Duke was
on his way from Perth. The Galatea anchored off
the Semaphore, and his Royal Highness, in excellent
health and spirits, was brought to Adelaide in Colonel
Hamley's, the then acting governor's, carriage. On his
arrival he was received with hearty cheers from the crowds
that had assembled at Government House gate. On the
same evening the Duke attended at the Theatre Royal to
witness the performance of "Caste," Sir James Fergus-
son and Lady Edith, Colonel and Mrs. Hamley were present.
It was the opening night of the season, and the reception
given to his Royal Highness and the new governor was
most enthusiastic. On Tuesday morning the Prince was
present at the Town Hall to witness the swearing in of
Sir James Fergusson. On Wednesday evening the Duke
honoured with his presence .the colonist's ball. There
were from 500 to 600 present, and the ball was a very success.
ful one. On Thursdaymorning his Royal Highness laid the
first stone of the Sailors' Home. In the evening he dined
at the Adelaide Club, and subsequently met several hun-
dred guests at a party given at Government House.
On Friday the Duke drove to the Old Adelaide Race-
course, on the East-park Lands, where special races
had been got up in honour of his visit. The day
had been proclaimed a public holiday, and there were
not less than 8,000 or 9,000 people present. Shortly after
5 o'clock the Prince left the ground admidst a perfect
hurricane of cheering, as a farewell. Without delay he
proceeded by special train to the port, and boarded. the
Galatea. Early on Satui day morning the vessel steamed
away. During the whole of the Duke's stay the injunc-
tions of the Colonial Secretary, that there should be no
public demonstrations, were scrupulously adhered to.
It must have been with no little misgiving that Prince

Arthur was sent to the south of Ireland. The enthusiastic
reception given to the Prince in the south has proved a
most agreeable surprise. His Royal Highness has been
amply rewarded for the confidence which he reposed in
the generous feeling of the people. They have welcomed
him with heartiness as the first pledge of their sovereign's
personal interest in this country, and with the hope that
his visit will be followed at no distant day by one from
the Queen herself. The name of the Patron
Saint has exercised an irresistible charm. The
people of Tipperary at once boldly detached it
from the others, acknowledging his Royal Highness only
as Prince Patrick. The only demonstrations of dis!oyalty
which have at all marred the enjoyment of the Prirce
have proceeded from the wcatlar, which did its utmost
on Thursday to plsy into the Lands of the Fenians. It
had been arranged that deputaticns should proceed to
Thomastown Castle to present addresses of welcome to
his Royal Highnet s from the local bodies. '1 he elements
poured a destructive torrent rat on the pre paraticits. But
rain is not an unusual visitor in these parts, and however
fierce an aspect the climate may assume, it does not easily
frighten the " boys," who know its ways and how to manage
it. Deputations from the Tipperary Poor-law Union
and Town Commissioners bad resolved to pay their res.
nects to thA P.;.,„., ..4 fulfilling their
purpose without being very much concerned, by the state
of the atmosphere. At 12 o'clock a train of vehicles more
remarkable for their utility than their elegance arrived in
front of the Castle. The Count de Jarnac gave their
occupants a most courteous and hearty reception when
the first deputation alighted, and conducted them to the
drawing-room, where the Prince, the Countess de Jarnac
and her daughter, together with Colonel Elphinstone and
Mr. Pickard, were in waiting to receive them. His Royal
Highness had displayed on his breast the badge of the
Order of St. Patrick. Then came the presentation of ad-
dresses couched in the usual style, and receiving verymuch
like the usual reply. During the presentation the weather
moderated a little, and the Prince, having encased him-
self in a grey overcoat of Waterford frieze, expressed his
willingness to brave any possible return of its inclemency,
and keep an appointment which bad been made for a visit '
to Cashel. H.s aduiticn of the native costume en-
deared him still more to V. e 1 ccl reprdentatives of
Tipperary. They hailed tL e Prince in his gray frieze coat
as indeed a coantiymm. Here was a visible embodiment
of national sympathy more expressive than a dozen
speeches. Their loyal patriotism received a fresh impulse,
and they determined to give utterance to their feelings.
The first idea was to draw up in line in the hall and give
it to him as he passed out. Fortunately for the nerves
of the inmates of the Castle, they thought it better to
await the Prince outside and give it in the open air.
The Prince, who was unconscious of the great honour
reserved for him, soon appeared in front, and was greeted
with a variety of startling ejaculations. A chariot was in
waiting to convey his Royal Highness to Cashel, and as
he started off the band of the Tipperary Militia played
the National Anthem.
There was then another ad dress from the Cashel municipal
authorities. " The inhabitants," said the document,
"respectfully accord you a hearty welcome to our city
and to St. Patrick's Rock, delighted to see Prince Patrick
tread the hallowed soil on which the patient Unghus
bled, and joyful to recognise the interest in our country
which induced you to visit the venerable monuments of
our ancient grandeur, to view the royal residence of the
Kings of Munster in the olden time, to admire the body
of Cormac's stone-roofed shrine, and to scan the form
and proportions of the tower reared by our ancestors in
past ages." After replying, of course, in suitable terms,
the Prince went to do what he had been invited to do.
The Rock of Cashel was examined, the cathedral visited,
and the shrine of Cormac admired. Then came some
races, to whicJi a stop was put, however, by the rain. At
night a grand ball was given at Thomastown Castle in
honour of the Prince's visit. It was attended by a select
assemblage of the gentry. His Royal Highness left the
Castle the next clay for Cahir, en route for Lismore.

A story is told of a man who hnuced in LondOn
one thousand cigars, valued at IA), againA fire and water.
After the lapse of six months he made his appearance at
the insurance office and demanded his money, as the cigars
had been burned. " But not on board the vessel, sir ?"
said the secretary, " for she is in the dock now." " yes,
on board the vessel. I smoked them, and therefore
burned them all myself, and the insurance says against
" The secretary was taken aback, but told the
smoker to call again next day. He called at the appointed
time, but was met by the solicitor of the company, who
told him that if he did not relinquish his claim he
would be prosecuted as one who had knowingly and
fully set fire to goods insured by the company.—Baltonore

LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION AT CAMBRIDGE.—
Arrangements have been corn pleted for a Liberal demonstra-
tion, on alarge scale, at Cambridge, to celebrate the triumph
of the Liberal party of the late election for the borough. A
grand banquet will be helti at the Guildhall, on Wednes-
day, May 5, at which the borough members, Messrs.
Torrens and Fowler, and a number of celebrities will be
present. It is thought that this will be a larger gathering
than on the occasion of any political demonstration within
the borough since the Reform Bill. Advantage will be
taken of the proceedings to present a testimonial to Mr.
Patrick Beales, on his retirement, after a long period of
zealous and active service, from} the leade9bip of the
Liberal party.
