 MR. EDITOR Your correspondent altnoas" not resident of Philadelphia was compei'eU
 be there bv his business on Tuesday iast' a.N witnessed the reception of Lord Renfrew 'J ,"n s" city of fraternal love, and thinking " '" stetob m;pbt not be uninteresting to the fe'u- CTS of the ENQUIRER, has taken 'ne n0e''' "
 w;. Royal Highness spent "Wednesday, Thurs dov and Friday oflast week at the White House, ths cuest of the nation, during which time he v;s;ted that spot "which the nation delights to honorn the tomb of Washington. And after a basty trip to the capital of the Old Dominion and stop over night at Baltimore left the last mentioned place at one o'clock F. A., on Tues day, October 9th, for Philadelphia Having mn ished our business by the middle of the afternoon we wended our way to the Philadelphia, "llmln- ton & Baltimore Railroad depot. The Pnnce was expected in special train, which as the N' Y. Herald has already informed the reading pup lie was drawn by the locomotive George Wash ington" with an engineer for whose name we re- fer your readers to the above named journal. It was prompt on time and exactly at 4:2O came steamng into the depot, which had previously been cleared of all outsiders. The carriages for the Prince and suite were within the enclosure on the side of the depot, and the crowd which numbered perhaps four or five hundred, were kept without the gate He was met on the platform of the cars by Mayor Henry and some other city officials. The ceremony of an introduc- ton having been finished, he was conducted to his carriage, and was driven through the opening made in the crowd, which lined the track of the carriages for quite little distance, all eager to get sight of the royal prolific. He was enthu- siasticalIy cheered by the crowd to which he res bonded by modestly lifting his hat. By his side was seated His Grace the Duke of Newcastle and on the opposite seat, Earl St. Gemains and Lord Lyons. He drove at a rapid trot up Broadway to Chestnut street, and down Chest nut to the "Continental." His progress down Chestnut street was of necessity slow owing to its narrowness and the ladies peering with eager faces from almost every window bestowed on him their most lavishing smiles and waved the dain- tiest of cambrics to all of which very expressive demonstrations by the fair ones, he responded by slightly elevating his sunexceptionable beaver and lowing in his seat. On his arrival at the hotel he immediately retired to his apartments. pre- viously engaged by the royal couriers. For two hours after his arrival Chestnut street in front Of the Continental was one sea of upturned faces and an army of little ragmu[ins kept up contin- ual shouting "There he is, " see him. "'Ihere he comes" ""Look at him." But his Highness however did not make his appearance, and judg- ing from his looks, he was very much fatigued. He took dinner at six clock and having digest ed it with prime Havana, early in the evening he settled his royal limbs for prolonged siesta How he slept cannot tel but it must have been sounJly to avoid being disturbed by the contn- ual hurraing, which the enthusiastic republicans could not restrain in honor of their glorious vic tory of the previous day. Perhaps in another letter may give you an account of the grand gala Opera which he will attend on Wednesday night at the American Academy of Music.
