A.RiaVAL OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY.

Sir,—l have this morning received the accom-
panying interesting letter, informing me of the
recent eruption of the Orcefa and Skapta Raulls
in Iceland, which can hardly fail to interest your
readers, and especially those explorers who intend
going to Iceland by the Arcturus next month. The
letter is written by Mr. Hogarth, of Aberdeen, a
gentleman well acquainted with Iceland, who is
now building a house between Thingvalla and.
Eyrarbacki, where, he has informed me, he will be
happy to welcome any members of the Alpine Club
who may visit Iceland on an exploring expedition.
Recent advertisements relative to the sailing of
the Arcturus being calculated to mislead travellers
as to the time of her leaving Grangemouth, Sou
will perhaps allow me to state that I have just re-
ceived a letter from Messrs. Koch and Henderson,
of Copenhagen, informing me that the Arcturus
will leave Grangemouth between July 15 and 20,
and that she will return from Reykjavik on Aug.
14. This will allow of a journey in Iceland of 17
or 18 days, which although less than could be
wished, would be sufficient to see the Geysers and
visit the scene of the recent• eruption. The journey
would be one of great interest, and the information
thus collected would be of great value to those who
intend to take part in the more extensive exploring
iourney which I have good reason to believe will
take place next year.—l am, sir, yours,
WILLIAM LONGMAN, Vice-President
of the Alpine Club.

" Eyrebalgi (Eyrarbacki), June 13.

" Dear Sir,—l drop you a few lines to acquaint
you with an interesting circumstance which has
taken place here within a few days, but, unfortu-
nately, before our arrival, although we did fall in
with a part of it before reaching the coast, which
was meeting a large body of fresh very brown
water about 80 miles off Ingolfo Head, on the
morning of Monday last, the 10th inst., the tempera-
ture of which was 46 deg., two deg. lower than
the previous day. We continued to sail through
this stream of fresh water for about 30 miles, when
we sighted the high land of Oreefa JOkull, and
came into green water, which we carried with us
into the shore, a distance of 50 miles, when we met
the ordinary mild water of the snow streams of the
land.

ILIEDICAL CONSULTATIONS.
Dr. LA'MERT, Licentiate of the Royal College of
Physicians, Edinburgh ; Member of the Royal College of
surgeons, England, L.R.S.A., &c., may be Confidentially
CONSULTED on the Functional Derangements of the
Nervous and Reproductive System, daily at his residence,

"On mentioning this circumstance on our arrival I
here, we were informed that the Orcefa and Scapta
Jukulls had both been in a state of eruption a few
days back, the particulars of which we have been
made acquainted with by the minister of that neigh-
bourhood, who was present and witnessed it, and
the account which he gives is as follows :—On the
23d of May the first signs of the eruption were
observed by an unusual flow of water from the
Oreefa, and on the morning of the 24th they were
awakened by a strong smell of sulphur, which
became overpowering, and which was quite appa-
rent at Reykjavik, a distance of 200 miles; at
the same time all metals, except iron, had be-
come tarnished, although in many instances care-
fully wrapped up in cotton. It appears to have
affected these metals at a distance of 50 miles from
the mountain. The Rev. Mr. Pollson, our informant,
states that this is the first real volcanic eruption
which has occurred in the Orcefa Jokull, although
the rivers Skeidava and Neepo, flowing from the
Skapta, have been regularly flooded every sixth
year, the latter invariably following the former
-after the lapse of 24 hours, on all of which occasions
large masses of ice are brought down from the
mountain, and remain in the low country for years
before they disappear. On this occasion an interval
of ten years has elapsed since the last regular flood-
ing of these rivers took place, and the quantity of
water sent down by the present eruption completely
inundated the flat land between those two rivers, a
distance of 20 miles. Smoke in great quantities has
been ejected on this occasion from both these moun-
tains, a circumstance not before known. Mr. Poll-
son was called from home three days after the
eruption commenced, when it was as vigorous as
ever, but has heard since that it has subsided,
which we can corroborate, as we sailed close along
the land on Tuesday morning last and had a fine
view of the whole mountain range ; but the fact of
the absence of any unusual quantity of fresh water
on the ocean near the land, while it abounded at 80
miles off, proved the thing.
" The quantity of debris from the Oroefa appears
to have been very great, as the coast here, a dis-
tance of 150 miles from the mountain, is covered
with pumice stone and brush-wood. I have taken
the liberty of communicating these circumstances

to you, knowing the deep interest which you take
in these matters, and regret that as we (Major
Wyatt, C. 8., and self) are on the eve of starting for
our fishing lodge in Thingvalla valley we are unable
to collect any further particulars. I may mention
that we had a pleasant passage out from Aberdeen
by sailing vessel in eight days, and have only fur-
ther to say that I have seen a very beautiful speci-
men of Suturbrond upwards of a foot through. and
as hard and black as coal, and that you may make
any use of this letter you may think proper for the
benefit of those whom you think it might interest.
"I remain, dear sir, yours sincerely,
" WILLIAM HOGARTH.

" William Longman, Esq.,
36, Hyde-park-square, London."

cellency's staff, awaited on the Carlisle Pier the ar-
rival of his Royal Highness. Although it was un-
derstood that the Prince's visit was to be as private
as possible every available space whence a view
could be had was crowded for hours before the time.
Carriages were up along the road fronting the har-
bour, crowds covered the eminences in the neigh-
bourhood ; the East Pier, stretching out half a mile
into the bay, was covered with spectators. The ad-
mission to the Carlisle Pier was only gainer by
tickets from the harbour commissioners, yet the
pressure there was very great. H.M.S. Ajax, the
Rainbow tender, the revenue cruisers, and a num-
ber of yachts in the harbour were dressed with
flags. The scene viewed from Carrsle‘Pier was very
striking. The whole line around the harbour as far
as the eye could reach presented one mass of people,
waiting with eager interest, despite the cold north
wind that blew stifly at the time.
The Lord Lieutenant was accompanied by Sir
George Brown, Mr. Hatchell, private secretary ;
Lord St. Lawrence, State Steward ; Mr. Marshall
Marshall, Master of the Horse ; Mr. Cockerill,
Aide-de-Camp ; Mr. Creyke, Assistant Private Se-
cretary ; Dr. Hughes, Surgeon to the Household,
&c. Among the other gentlemen who proceeded
by the special train to receive his Royal Highness
were—Lord Viscount Gough, Right Hon. Chief
Justice Monahan, Major-General Hastings, Colonel
Brownrigg, Judge O'Brien, Captain Donaldson,
Admiral Evans, Hon. Mr. Hutchinson, Captain
M'Clean, Mr. George Roe, Colonel Lake, Sir Ber-
nard Burke, Ulster King-at-Arms ; Hon. G. Han-
cock, chairman of the Kingston Railway Company;
William Dugan, vice-chairman ; Mr. Moore, Secre-
tary; Mr. Mortimer Harris, traffic manager, &c.
At half-past 5 o'clock, Irish time, the Connaught
appeared rounding the pierhead. A Royal salute
was fired by the Ajax. A guard of honour, con-
sisting of 150 men of the 19th Regiment, with the
band, presented arms,while loud and repeated cheers
from the crowds along the pier hailed the appear-
ance of the Prince, who stood on the bridge waiv-
ing his hat repeatedly and bowing. The steamer
was brought quickly alongside, when the Lord-
Lieutenant and his Staff went on board and re-
ceived his Royal Highness. After a few moments'
delay the Kingstown Commissioners and the rail-
way directors were introduced to the Prince in the
saloon, where Mr. Chambers, justice of the peace
and Chairman of the Commissioners, read the fol-
lowing address :
" May it please your Royal Highness,—
" We, the Town Commissioners and other inha-
bitants of Kingstown, beg, on our own part, and on
the part of every inhabitant of the town, to express
our pleasure at having the opportunity, by your
presence within the precincts of our township, to
tender to your Royal Highness our heartfelt wel-
come to this island, and to express our hopes that
your visit to us may impress your mind with a fa-
vourable opinion of our country. Its natural beau-
ties we believe are high, while its warm-hearted
attachment to your person and your Royal House
render it zealous of ranking as high in your regard
as any portion of her Majesty's wide dominions.
We cannot refrain from adding our sincere assur-
ances to your Royal Highness that her Majesty's
Irish subjects are sincerely attached to a Throne
which challenges their love and admiration by the
high example of virtue and goodness it sheds around
us, while it claims fresh loyalty and gratitude for
the blessings of peace and increasing prosperity
which flow from its just and liberal rule."
His Royal Highness read the following reply :
" Gentlemen,—l most heartily thank you for the
gratifying terms in which on your own behalf, and
that of the inhabitants of Kingstown, you greet me 1
on my arrival at your port, after a voyage performed
with such ease and expedition in the admirable
vessel considerately placed at my disposal by
its enterprising proprietors; nor shall I fail to
convey to the Queen your assurances of loyal
attachment to her person and Government, and your
emphatic acknowledgment of the blessings en-
oyed under her rule. During former visits to
Ireland, and particularly in the course of a tour
made some years since through the country, I had
considerable opportunities of witnessing the beauty
of her scenery and of experiencing the warm-hearted
kindness of her people, and these agreeable recol-
lections tend greatly to enhance the pleasure with
which I look forward to a more prolonged sojourn
among you on the present occasion."
His Royal Highness did not seem at all the worse
for the voyage, though the wind was contrary an,l
the sea rough. He remained on deck nearly the
whole time, partook of a hearty lunch in the ladies'
cabin in company with Major-General Bruce and
Colonel Keppel, and enjoyed himself very much ms
the passage, expressing to Captain Williams his
satisfaction with all the arrangements on board.
Shortly after the presentation of the address his
Royal Highness and the Lord-Lieutenant entered
the Royal carriage, accompanied by their respective
suites, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd,
whicch were continued as long as the train remained
in sight. A guard of honour was posted at Westland-
row, where the Lord-Lieutenant's carriages were
waiting to convey the Royal party to the Viceregal
Lodge, where the Prince is to stay as the guest of
his Excellency while he remains in Dublin. On
