ARRIVAL of the DUCHESS of KENT and
the PRINCESS VICTORIA at CANTERBURY.

On Monday evening her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent, accompanied by the Princess Victoria and their suite,
arrived at the Fountain Hotel in the above city, where a large
concourse of persons had assembled to welcome the royal
party to this loyal and ancient city. Soon after their arrival
the Mayor summoned the Aldermen and Common Councilmen
of the city, in order to adopt such steps as were necessary on
the occasion of the Royal visit. The result was, that an address
was agreed upon, and a deputation, consisting of Talbutt
Pope, gent., the Sheriff, Alderman Moulton, and Mr. Nutt,
the town-clerk, was appointed to wait upon their Royal High-
nesses, and ascertain what time they would be pleased to re-
ceive a loyal address from the corporation.
The deputation had an interview at the Fountain Hotel
with Sir John Conroy, and expressed the desire of the corpo-
ration; upon which Sir John conferred with their Royal
Highnesses, and on his return to the deputation stated that
the Royal party were graciously pleased to name yesterday
morning at half-past nine o'clock for the audience. In the
course of the same evening, Sir Brook Bridges, Bart., Cap-
tain of the Yeomanry Cavalry, offered an escort to atted their
Royal Highnesses from Canterbury to Ramsgate, to which
place they intended to proceed, to meet his Majesty the King
of the Belgians. Sir B. Bridges's offer was accepted by her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent for a distance of two
miles out of town. At eight o'clock yesterday morning, John
Partridge, Esq., the Mayor, and Aldermen Brown, Cooper,
Friend, De Lasaux, Moulton, Pont, and Homersham, with
about twenty Common Councilmen, assembled at the Guild-
hall, and proceeded from thence in their robes of office, shortly
after nine o'clock, to the Fountain Hotel. The procession
consisted of the mayor and chaplain, preceded by the sword
and mace-bearers, and other civic officers, after whom followed
the aldermen and common councilmen, the bells of the nume-
rous churches ringing sweet and merry peals. At the Foun-
tain Hotel the members of the corporation were ushered into
a spacious apartment, and soon after her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, attended by Sir
John Conroy, entered the room. J. Partridge, Esq., the
Mayor, then read the following address, which was engrossed
on a sheet of fine vellum :

" May it please your Royal Highness,
We, the mayor, recorder, aldermen, sheriff, and common
council of the city of Canterbury,
" Respectfully approach your Royal Highness and your
Illustrious daughter with the offering of our most humble but
heartfelt welcome to our ancient and loyal city of Canterbury.
" We avail ourselves of this gratifying opportunity to ex-
press the dutiful attachment, not only inspired by your Royal
Highness's character and the rising virtues of the Princess
Victoria, but also due to individuals so closely connected with
our gracious and beloved Sovereign, and with that family of
which the name is associated with the noblest and dearest
privileges of our constitution in Church and State.
" We fervently pray that health and all blessings may at-
tend your Royal Highness and your Illustrious charge in your
visit to our Kentish shores, and in every step of your progress
through life."
At the conclusion of the address, the Mayor handed it to
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, when she was
graciously pleased to return the following answer :
" Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
" It is very gratifying to me to receive the assurances of
good feeling you convey to the Princess and myself from the
corporation of the ancient city of Canterbury. We are deeply
sensible of your attention, and receive it as a mark of your
loyal attachment to the King."
Their Royal Highnesses then curtsied to the members of
the corporation, and retired to an adjoining room, where ano-
ther deputation, consisting of the Vice-Deacon and three of
the Prebendaries of Canterbury, was waiting to request the
Royal party to inspect the Cathedral, and hear divine service
performed. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent de-
clined the invitation, and graciously replied that the Royal
party would take an early opportunity of visiting the Cathedral.
The band of the 48th Regiment, stationed at Canterbury,
continued to play the most popular national airs before the
Fountain Hotel during the morning until the departure of the
Royal party. On quitting Canterbury, between ten and
eleven o'clock, their Royal Highnesses were loudly cheered as
they passed down the various streets on their way to Rams-
gate. It is said that triumphal arches, and preparations on
the most extensive scale, were being made at Ramsgate during
Monday, for the reception of the Royal party. It is expected
that their Royal Highnesses will stay two or three weeks at
Ramsgate.

ARRIVAL of the DUCHESS of KENT and
PRINCESS VICTORIA,
AND THEIR MAJESTIES THE KING AND QUEEN
OF THE BELGIANS, AT RAMSGATE.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess
Victoria, accompanied by Sir John and Lady Conroy, and a
numerous suite, arrived at Ramsgate at twelve o'clock yester-
day (Tuesday). Their Royal Highnesses took their departure
from Kensington Palace on Monday, and slept at Wright's
Fountain Hotel, Canterbury, on Monday night, and entered
Ramsgate yesterday morning, at twelve o'clock, in four car-
riages. A numerous procession, consisting of horse and foot,
received their Royal Highnesses at the entrance of the town,
and escorted the Royal Visitors to Albion-house, which is
taken for their Royal Highnesses for two months. The re-
ception of their Royal Highnesses was most enthusiastic. The
Princess and the Duchess of Kent, immediately on their alight-
ing at Albion-house, proceeded to the balcony, making their
obeisance to the assembled thousands amidst the most deafen-
ing cheers.
The address of congratulation will be presented this day,
by a deputation of the inhabitants. At an interview of the
latter with Sir John Conroy, at Canterbury, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent declined every kind of military
escort into the town of Ramsgate. trusting herself and her
illustrious daughter to the known loyalty and attachment of the
inhabitants, to receiye them in such a manner as might be most
agreeable to their feelings.
Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians ar-
rived in the Royal Harbour at five o'clock yesterday after-
noon, in the Ferret steam-packet, Captain Hamilton. Their
Majesties, notwithstanding they encountered a boisterous pas-
sage, were looking well, and in high spirits, and appeared
highly gratified with the hearty reception they met with from
the assembled thousands of delighted spectators who crowded
the magnificent pier. Their Majesties landed under a Royal
salute from the pier guns at the East Pier, and walked amidst
the welcome huzzas of the immense multitude of well-dressed
spectators to the Albion Hotel, where two suites of apart-
ments had been prepared for the Royal Visitors.
The town is splendidly illuminated—triumphal arches are
erected in various parts of the town, and lighted up with
crowns, stars, anchors, and the initials of " D. K.," " P. V.,"
and " L. R."

—The numerous vessels in the harbour displayed, through-
out the day, innumerable flags of all nations, which had
an animated effect, and the tout ensemble will long be remem-
bered by the favoured inhabitants of the town of Ramsgate.
The following is a copy of the Address intended to be pre-
sented by the deputation this day :
" May it please your Royal Highness,
" We, the inhabitants of Ramsgato and its vicinity, beg
leave most respectfully to approach your Royal Highness with
sentiments expressive of gratitude for the honour conferred on
this town by your Royal Highness's renewed visit.
" We beg also most respectfully to assure your Royal High-
nesses, that no exertions shall be wanting on our part to merit
this flattering mark of distinction.
1 "In thus approaching your Royal Highnesses, whilst we
earnestly hope that, through Divine Providence, you will long
enjoy prosperity, health, and happiness, we cannot refrain from
expressing, with gratitude undissembled, our full assurance that
the maternal care which has so anxiously watched over the
earlier years of the 'Heiress-Presumptive to the Throne of
these Realms will be repaid by the formation of such a cha-
racter as will adorn a British Crown, and entwine itself around
the hearts of a British people.
" We further most respectfully request that your Royal
Ili •shnesses will deign to accept this expression of devOted and
sin:ere attachment from us, the dutiful and loyal subjects of our
au;ust and beloved Sovereign."
