THE PRINCE'S VISIT TO UPPER

CANADA.

(From tho Special Correspondent of the Tines.)
KINGSTON, SEPT. 6,

The Royal tour through Upper Canada has
reached as far as this dirty, stagnant little town,
on the shores of Lake Ontario. The Royal visit
here, though very brief, has been more than suffi-
ciently long to afford a most unfavourable impres-
sion of both place and people, and to give in its
. straggling streets—irregular without picturesque-
ness, and dilapidated without antiquity—another
instance, if one were wanted, of how difficult it is to
force any town into the dignity of a capital. To
such a position with regard to Canada it was at ono
time thought probable that Kingston might be ele-
vated; and, in spite of the opposition of the people,
every influence of the then Governor-General was
devoted to the attainment of that end. The result
is much the same here as it will be with Ottawa
some five years hence. The fact of the Parliament
buildings having been solemnly commenced at the
latter place is not of much account. Houses of Par-
liament have been scattered almost broadcast over
Canada, without effecting a new capital anywhere,
or at all shaking the consideration of the people for
their only real centre and metropolis at Montreal.
The buildings at Ottawa, if ever finished, will make
an admirable lunatic asylum whenever the town is
sufficiently prosperous to require them for that pur-
pose; and until then, and as some £400,000 will be
necessary for their completion, the works may only
be continued with the slow dignity which pertains
exclusively to Parliament buildings both here and
at home. The course taken by his Royal Highness
to reach this disloyal little township of Kingston
was about as circuitous as could well be managed,
and at the same time one of the very best for show-
ing him the magnificent scenery of the Upper
Ottawa, and, though in a mild and agreeable form,
the difficulties incident to Canadian travel in the
wilder parts of the country. This day's tour had
been rather locked forward to by the Prince and
all the Royal party, and, excepting the unavoid-
able inconveniences of heat and dust (component
and essential parts of a rough day's travel any-
where), the whole journey from first to last was
one of the most agreeable and diversified that the
Prince has had in Canada. He left Ottawa a little
before eight o'clock in the morning of the 3d, and
some two hours after a loyal, patient, and much-
enduring crowd had been standing in the mud
round his hotel to give him one farewell cheer.
The first stage was by carriage to Aylmer, a little
village on th edge of the Upper Ottawa, and about
10 miles from that town. There was no peculiarity
about this drive, save that it was very rapid and
very dusty—for the day for once was fine, and the
fierce rays of the sun even at that early hour gave
promise of one of those scorching days which at
this time of the year occasionally glare down on
Canada with all the heat of a West Indian summer.
If there had been no arches over the road, which
wound along the shores of the Ottawa, the fact
would have been worthy of special mention; but
as it was I have only to report, what has been so
often told before, that arches seemed to spring up
everywhere the Prince would, could, or might pass.
At little hamlets where only three or four log
cabins were in view, and where the whole popula-
tion—to the number of some 35 or 36—turned out
en nzasse in a group might be covered with a table-
cloth, there was sure to be an arch of some shape
or other. It might only be, as it very often was,
a mere bent screen of spruce firs, decked here and
there with huge bouquets of wild flowers, or twisted
round with garlands of water lilies and wild ge-
raniums. But, whatever the effect, it was always
a kind, spontaneous effort to do honour to the
Prince; and the little knot of settlers who reared
it were always close beneath, bareheaded and
dressed in their best, and each with something like
a flag in his hands, content and happy if his Royal
Highness only for one brief second drove under an
arch which it had taxed their slender means and
taken them hours of labour to erect. On lakes and
rivers, in wild and unknown spots, the evidences
of strong and almost devotional loyalty with which
the Prince has been welcomed have been really
something touching. Even in byway clearings in
the forest, when the Royal train has shot past at full
speed, glimpses may be caught amid the trees of
rough log shanties all covered over with fir branches
and flowers, and with a family of settlers gathered
round the charred stumps in front, waiting perhaps
all day merely to shout and cheer as it flew on.
The journey from Ottawa to Brookville was one
long-continued repetition of such incidents, except
when at Brookville itself, where the people gave his
Royal Highness a reception which he may, perhaps,
find surpassed in extent at other places, but which
for general beauty of effect was better than any he
has yet had in all Canada, Lower or Upper.
At Aylmer, a pretty little village above Ottawa,
the whole place was checkered with arches of every
sort. What they wanted in high art effect was
more than compensated by their number, and,
speaking at random, I should say there must have
been an arch erected or garland hung across the
road for every ten people in the place. At Aylmer
the party embarked on board a steamer which was
to convey them higher up the Ottawa to Les Chats
Portage, where the canoes were waiting. The
scenery during the journey up was of exquisite
beauty. The weather was that hot, dead, sultry calm
when lake scenery, as this part of the river may be
called, is always seen to the best advantage—when
the water seems to languish under the sun in a lazy
calm, as if oppressed by heat, and the mountains
have a dim cool blue about them, with all the rich,
soft, glowing indistinctness of one of Turner's land-
scapes. It was such a lake as this the Prince went
up, with a great, fertile, but utterly wild country
stretching round—a hugh extent of rich uncultivated
land, supporting a wolf or a bear to such a number
of square miles as, under happier auspices, would
give food and labour for all the population of Lan-
cashire. It is a painful, even a shameful, truth—but
I am sure that it is a truth—that more is known in
England of the Terai, or the mouth of the Peiho,
than of the whole of Canada or the Provinces put
together—aye, and even among public men and
great colonial oracles. Twenty years ago Macau-
lay told how even well-educated Englishmen were
not ashamed to confess their utter ignorance of
the history of Hindostan—how they could not
even tell the difference between a Hindoo and a
Mussulman, nor name the country over which
Holkar once ruled. How many well-educated
Englishmen are there now who, if told that Nova
Scotia was an island, and, like Labrador, half rock,
half glacier, would disbelieve it P What are the po-
pular: notions of New Brunswick—the Liverpool
of our North American Provinces—the finest and
most flourishing of all our colonies out here?
What is generally thought of Prince Edward
Island ? I am sorry to think that the ignorance
on all connected with these colonies can arise only
from the most utter indifference either to where
they are or what they are. But, to return to the
Prince on the Upper Ottawa (less known by far
than Lake Ngami), the boat continued steaming
quickly on its way for some miles. The captain of
the vessel and one or two others connected with
the canoe expedition could tell the best deer runs
of the shores around, and how from 10 to 12 might
easily be killed in a day ; but beyond this they
knew nothing, for nothing whatever is known.
Once a lumber-boat came out to salute with mus-
kets, and once or twice a shrill halloa of welcome
came from those on the cliffs who had been looking
for the Prince's boat since daybreak, but beyond
these two incidents there was nothing to tell of
human beings, or that these great wilds had ever
been trodden by the foot of man. When will the
Government send out some Livingstone to explore
and explain the resources of Upper Canada ? There
are maps of it, as there are maps of Japan, but of
both countries any single State in the Union knows
more than all England put together. A sudden
bend in the wide-lake river brought the Royal
steamer in front of the Chats portage, one of the
finest pieces of rock and river scenery on the Ot-
tawa, if not on any river in North America. It is
a huge semicircle of rocks, nearly three miles wide,
and over which the river pours in no less than 24
distinct huge waterfalls, some of them above 50 or
60 feet high, but all with a broad impetuous rush
of water which gives to the portage a wild, rough,
animated grandeur, the effect of which from the
river below is striking beyond all description.
Seen, as the Prince saw it, with the hot sun
lighting up each cataract with rainbows, the gay
little canoes dancing about among the Rapids
below them ; the intense, deep stillness of the pine
forests sleeping in the sun ; the air of still, solemn,
wild repose which reigned over everything, moun-
tain and rock, lake and wood, with only the great
drowsy roar of the cataracts to fill the ear with a
dim, sleepy hum, these made altogether one of those
scenes of soft, impressive grandeur which can always
be remembered. The fussy little steamer which
bore the P-inee seemed an intrusion on this great
scene of nature's repose, and when the pace was
slowed as the cataracts were neared it seemed as if
the very boat felt the influence of the scene, and
was moving quietly lest it should break the still-
ness. Slowly as the boat approached the portage
the coves, manned by lumbermen, Wipe, ad

squaws, tossed their paddles into the air and gave
one long cheering whoop, which went echoing
away among the hills with a soft gentle noise as
the sound died out. In another minute the canoes
were alongside the steamer. The Royal party had
been reduced to its smallest limits ; only the Duke
of Newcastle, the two Equerries, Commodore Sey-
mour, Mr. Engleheart, Mr. Rose, Dr. Acland, M.
Cartier, the Canadian Prime Minister, Mr. Elliott,
and the Marquis of Chandos, who is out here tra-
velling for amusement, with the Governor-General
and his Aide-de•Carnp, Captain Retallach, were pre-
sent. The Prince, with the Duke and the Gover-
nor-General, went in ono very large canoe; for the
rest one canoe was placed at the disposal of every
two members of the party. Before definitively
arranging themselves, however, the canoes were
carried over the portage, and launched at the other
side in the comparatively smooth water above the
Falls, and here the whole party embarked and
started away over the water to the half•mile por-
tage, another rocky Rapid some three miles up the
river, where the canoes were again to be landed
and carried through the woods to the smooth water
beyond them. The Prince's canoe was manned by
12 strapping Scotch lumberers, who sent it along
like an arrow, so that it soon became a race, all
paddling and splashing through the water as if row-
ing for their lives, and all the crews occasionally re-
freshing themselves with a long shrill whoop that
was deafening to hear. M. Cartier gave out the old
Canadian song, " Ii y'a longtemps que je t'aime,
jamais je ne t'oublierai," which was caught up in
an instant by the boatmen, and its sweet quick
melody rather agreeably replaced the discordant
whoops and yells with which the crews had excited
and goaded each other into exerting their utmost
speed. Faster and faster they went on fouling each
other as they passed, splashing everybody, 'laugh-
ing, cheering, and singing, the crews labouring at
their paddles as if they would break them, and
straining every nerve under a sun which on the still
water was almost tropical in its heat. But fast as
the canoes paddled there was one which kept its
place with ease, and this was an Indian canoe, of
which half the crew were Squaws, clad after the
festive and highly decorated custom of their nation,
but mounting English hats and feathers as a deli-
cate compliment, doubtless, to their Royal visitor.
In the centre of this canoe was a young Squaw,
with her little papoose swaddled down upon a flat
strip of board, which she held aloft something after
the fashion of a sail, and seemed so desirous to at-
tract the Prince's attention with it that I began to
think she would end by offering it to him as a pre-
sent at the next landing. There were some quick
Rapids at the foot of the poi tage which it required
no ordinary exertions on the part of the lumberers
to overcome, but at last they passed them, and ran
the canoes under shelter of the land into a pictur-
esque little nook among the rocks and trees, where
everybody scrambled out as they best could. In
another minute the lumberers had dragged their
light bark skiffs from the water, had them up on
their shoulders, and were trudging away through
the woods to the next point of embarcation. This
was said to be half a mile distant, but I must own it
seemed to me the longst half mile I ever walked in
all my life—not that it was an uninteresting one,
far from it. It was impossible not to be amused
at the helter-skelter ramble of the whole party 11
through the thick forest, with the rude procession
of canoes and flags intermixed among them. After
this quick, hot scramble of some 20 minutes the
path through the forest emerged at last upon an
immense sheet of water, like a large inland lake,
though only the uppermost continuation of the
Ottawa, and on this the party again embarked in
the canoes and stood across the water some six
miles to Arapsin. At this beautiful little village
there had been some handsome arches erected, and
here of course in the middle of a great crowd an
address of welcome was read. This ceremony over
his Royal Highness proceeded to the picturesque

point carriages were provided for a long drive
through the forest road to a place called Almonte,
a distance of 20 miles. The trackwas partly through
the forest, over what is called a corduroy road, a
colonial synonym for no road at all—a kind of
track where the natural inequalities of the ground
are developed to their utmost by a profuse inter-
mixture of pine logs. The route at this part lay
through a perfectly wild country. Only a log
cabin broke the monotony of the forest here and
there, with a group of ragged brown girls and boys
clustered on pine logs to cheer the Prince. The
despotism of fashion, however, has penetrated into
the remotest recesses of these back woods, for,
however ragged may be the female members of a
settler's family, I never saw any who did not wear
the most monstrous wooden hoops under their pet-
ticoats. After a few miles of such a track the road
turned on a better country, where the travelling
was good, but so dirty that nearly all the suite
were suffocated, and their dress and features be-
came alike of one dim tawny hue.
At the village of Pakenham a great many arches
had been built up ; but no pause was made here, as
there were still some 70 miles to go by road and
rail, and the day was waning fast. The pretty little
village of Almonte (of course for the moment con-
cealed under the usual amount of evergreen) was
reached a little before 6 o'clock, and by that time, with
the exception of the Prince, not one single member of
the party was distinguishable under their hideous
masks of dust. In all my travels I have never seen
any small party of gentlemen so utterly begrimed
and filthy. Fortunately there was plenty of sherry
and Seltzer water in the Royal car, and I have not
the least doubt but that many members of the suite
were driven to ablutions in the latter beverage. All
haste was then made on for Brockville. Half way,
however, the Prince had to alight and show him-
self to the people at Smith's Falls. They had been
waiting in thousands outside the station all day,
where a platform had been erected covered with
scarlet cloth. On this the Prince came out, ex-

dark when Brockville was reached,
and some 25,000
people had been waiting there also
since 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Prince alighted
under a rich pavilion, amid the tremendous cheers of
those loyal settlers who had come in from all parts
of the country. Some said an address was read, and
some one else inforlaed me that the Prince replied to
it, but all I know of ray
own knowledge is that there
was an immense crowd, and rather a severe crush ;
that carriages were provided for all the suite, into
which they scrambled somehow, and the procession
through Brockville to the steamer Kingston com-
menced. The Firemen, to the number of some
1,200, formed a double line on each side of the car-
riages, each having a Roman candle in his hand, and
these shot out their brilliant sparks of light from
both sides of the street, meeting in the centre above
the carriages in a perfect arcade of coloured fire
nearly a quarter of a mile long. The little town was
in a blaze of light. Every house from the roof, to
the basement was illuminated inside and out, and
all the long groves of trees along the roads were
covered with variegated lamps on every branch..
From the windows of the houses the people held
Roman candles ; from the roofs they were letting
off flights of rockets and bomb-shells and coloured
fire; every bell in the place was ringing madly,
and the whole was such a confused brilliant whirl
of lamps, fireworks, and illumination, of people
shouting, their caps into the air, and almost
embracing the very horses of the Royal carriage,
that the scene is describable in no way save by say-
ing that the united effect of all the receptions the
Prince has had did not equal the wonderful wel-
come he received at the little town of Brockville.
I am certain that the rest of the tour can only
afford something better by its being on a larger
scale, but while it lasted through the town New
York itself could do nothing, except in extent, to
surpass the extraordinary beauty of the scene at
Brockville. Even when his Royal Highness was
on board the steamer Kingston it did not end.
There were fireworks on the water, bonfires on the
Thousand Islands, flights of rockets from all parts of
the town, serenades from all sorts of bands, every-
thing, in fact, which the most intense enthusiasm and
loyalty could devise was done, and done admirably
well.

As a matter of course, there was very little sleep to
be got in Brockville that night, and the rumours
which I had heard of what was going on at this
place made me anxious to reach it at once. So I
left Brockville still in a blaze of light and festivity,
and came on by train here. As the road is only 50
miles, and as the train was a special express, it only
took three hours to traverse the distance, and I found

say that my narrative of enthusiastic receptions
and grand displays, as far as this city is concerned,
hi received A Very pudden check, And that Kin's-

ton, which, with a few other towns in Upper Cana-
, da, boasts of having exclusive possession of the
feeling of loyal devotion to the Throne, has set an
example of such insolent disregard of their Royal
guest's wishes as has prevented the Prince from
landing here at all.
In cases like these, when 4to much angry feeling
is abroad, it is very difficult to collect impartial or
reliable information, but the general facts of the
case are much as follows. The new towns of Upper
Canada have, within the last few years, become un-
pleasantly conspicuous for Orange organisations of
the most bitter and intemperate kind, even for these
societies. In Lower Canada, the country round
Montreal, and from Montreal down to Quebec, more
than nine-tenths of the entire population are Roman
Catholics. In a few towns of Upper Canada the
protestants and Roman Catholics are pretty equal
in numbers ; while in many, such as Kingston,
Toronto, Coburg, Port Hope, and Belleville, the
Romanists are only as 1 to 10 or 12, or even less.
As a rule, however, a large majority of the popula-
tion of all Canada are Roman Catholics. What first
led to the introduction of Orange societies in Upper
Canada none, of course, can tell, though all are
painfully aware of the fact, that since their organi-
sation, quiet and goodwill have almost entirely fled
the towns in which they are established, owing to
the incessant war of petty bickerings going on be-
tween the two parties. Some of the most danger-
ous fights and disturbances which have taken place
in these towns have been owing to the Orange
processions and celebrations of the 12th of July ;
when the Romanists, too, have suddenly preached
tolerance for all creeds, and generally Lenforced
their arguments by a free fight with the Orange-
men. There had been a comparative lull in thse
wretched quarrels for the last few weeks, when,
most unfortunately, it occurred to the people of
Toronto that the occasion of the Prince's landing
at that city would afford a signal and favourable
opportunity for a grand Orange procession and de-
monstration. Such an idea once started, of course,
spread far and wide among the town, most notori-
ous for dissensions between the Orangemen and
Roman Catholics. The Toronto people decided on
having Orange arches, and receiving his Royal
Highness with a great Orange procession. The
Roman Catholics, of course, held meetings to pro-
test against this. Both parties wrote bitter letters
to the daily papers ; third parties interfered in
other journals ; and fourth parties put forth opin-
ions in peculiar organs to compromise matters, and
of course made them worse than ever. A dispute
of such a nature, of course, soon reached the ears
of the Duke of Newcastle and the Governor-Gene-
ral, and the former, as might be expected, at once
wrote the following letter to Sir Edmund Head,
which the Governor enclosed to the Mayor of To-
ronto,let e withoneequally strong of his own. The two
t are as follow :

My dear Sir Edmund, I am informed that it is the
intention of the Orangemen of Toronto to erect an arch on
the line of route which it is desired by the citizens that the
Prince of Wales shall take on Friday next, and to decorate
it with the insignia of their association. I am also told
that they mean to appear in the procession similarly deco-
rated with party badges.
It is obvious that a display of this nature on such an
occasion is likely to lead to religious feud and breach of the
peace, and it is my duty to prevent, as far as I am able, the
exposure of the Prince to supposed participation in a scene
so much to be deprecated and so alien to the spirit in which
he visits Canada.

I trust you may be able to persuade those who are con-
cerned in these preparations to abandon their intentions ;
but that there may be no mistake, I hope you will inform
them that in the event of any such arch being erected I shall
advise the Prince to refuse to pass under it, and enter the
town by another street; and further, if any Orange demun-
stration, or any other demonstation of a party character is
persisted in, I shall advise the Prince to abandon his visit
to the town altogether.
I have heard, but with less certainty, that a similar de-
monstration is contemplated at Kingston. I need net say
that my remarks equally apply to that or any other town.
—I am, &c., NEWCASTLE.
To the Right Hon. Sir E. Head.

Ottawa, Aug. 31.
Sir,—l have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter ad-
dressed to me by the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
now in attendance on his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales.

In explanation of this letter, I desire to call your atten-
tion to the fact that, according to an advertisement which
has appeared in a Toronto paper, it is the intention of the
Orange body in that city to display in the procession which
is to take place on the reception of his Royal Highness, and
in the streets through which he is to pass certain emblems
and decorations belonging especially to their own society.
I may state in the most explicit terms that any
such display, or any attempt to connect with his Royal
Highness' reception, the public and open reception of the
Orangemen or any party association, would be viewed with
extreme dissatisfaction.

You will bear in mind, Sir, that his Royal Highness visits
this colony on the special invitation of the whole people, as
conveyed by both branches of the Legislature, without dis-
tinction of creed or party ; and it would be inconsistent with
the spirit and object of such an invitation, and such a visit,
to thrust on him the exhibition of banners or ether badges
of distinction which are known to be offensive to any por-
tion of her Majesty's subjects.
J feel satisfied that his Grace's reasons for expressing
these views will, on consideration, be deemed satisfactory ;
and I have to request you, as chief magistrate of the city of
Toronto, will take care that no such cause of complaint may
exist, either in the procession itself or in the decoration of
the streets through which his Royal Highness will pass.
I have further to request that you will, by letter, ad-
dressed to me at Kingston, inform me explicitly as to whether
any doubt exists as to a compliance with the wishes expressed
by the Duke of Newoastle in this matter, as the course likely
to be pursued at Toronto may materially affect the route to
be taken by his Royal Highness in his future progress
through the province.—l have the honour to be, &c.,
His Worship the Mayor, Toronto.

EDMUND HEAD.

Kingston, though merely alluded to en passant,
was the first place at which his Royal Highness was
to land, and here it was tacitly understood that the
question of whether the Prince or the Orangemen
were to give way was to be tried, so Toronto for a
moment fell into the background, and both parties
concentrated their attention on this dirty little town.
The resolution of the Orangemen here was soon
come to. They determined that Orange arches
should be erected, and the Prince should be received
with an Orange procession in attendance on the
Corporation, and with none other. lam assured that
this resolution was encouraged to the utmost
privately by the Orange leaders at Toronto, who
sent constant telegrams to Kingston exhorting
them to stand firm, and insist on an Orange demon-
stration, and that 15,000 Orangemen would be in
Toronto to do the same. Thus stimulated and fur-
ther urged for ward by a Mr. Flannigan, Grand
Master, a chief butcher of Kingston, and a captain
of a troop of Volunteer and very Orange Cavalry,
the thing of course went forward duly accompanied,
as is usual in such cases, by the strongest protesta-
tions of loyalty and the constant assertion that
what was being done was entirely for the Prince's
own good. Two Orange arches were accordingly
erected in the chief thoroughfares through which
the Prince must pass. Except as sources of keen
ill-feeling, these would have been totally unworthy
of note, so poor and paltry were they both in design
and execution. The one I saw, and, as lam told,
the best, was merely papered with orange paper,
and with rather a handsome model of the Ark of
the Covenant at the top. The sides were filled in
with the Orange societies' insignia, with portraits
of Garibaldi and the Prince, the latter with the
motto of " The faith of my forefathers and mine,"
with portraits of " William 111., of glorious, pious,
and immortal memory ;" little banners contained
the names of Baker, Walker, and Murray, of Lon-
donderry fame, with scrolls of "No Surrender,"
and other mottoes equally inappropriate to the
occasion. Whether public attention was so much
engrossed in the erection of this trophy, which after
the Prince's wishes on the subject could only bo
regarded as insulting, or whether they wished to
render it more conspicuous by not erecting others
I cannot say, but it is certain that scarcely any
other attempts were made at decorating the town,
and that the few other arches that were 'put up
were worse than any he had seen on his way through
the woods from Aruprivi to Almonte. Of course
the Royal suite soon heard of this wanton dis-
courtesy, and a private intimation, I believe, was
conveyed to Kingston that the Orange procession
must be given up, or the Prince would not land.
The Mayor accordingly issued an order that theren
would be no municipal procession whatever,

the Orangemen would have better taste and more
