Count W. F. Von Otterloo, secretary to the Prince,
yesterday visited the Government establishments
at Woolwich. Official instructions had been re-
ceived on Thursday by the heads of all the civil,
military, and dockyard establishments there,
announcing the intended visit, and direct-
ing that the reception should be attended
with all the formalities and honours due to his
Royal Highness's rank. Major-Gen. Sir Richard
nacres, K.C. 8., commanding the garrison, Brigade-
Major Shaw, and Major Reilly, C. 11., Aide-de-

the Prince's attention was arrested by observing

Gently captured in China, which he minutely exa-
mined. They next entered the factory for the ma:-
nufacture o`' Sir Wm. Armstrong's girls. The st in
gency of the regulations formerly in force for tap
exclusion of 'isitors :from -the establishment has
been considerably relaxed. The whole of the at-
tendants and officials, together with a number of
vo'linteer officers who happened to be present, were
