DEPARTURE FROM QUEBEC.
From Our Own Reporter.

QUEBEC, Thursday, Aug. % 1860.
The ceremoDials the last day of the Princes Que
bee visit not public numerous as had been
expected. 1t is possible t5at his Highness may have
been overgued by the exertions of the previous day
and evening" but l am not upon the same terms of
intimacy with him as that enjoyed by the gentlemen
who chronicle so cleverly his daily thoughts emotions
and condition of mind it is not easy for me TO speak
with decision this point. Undoubtedly his labors
were sufis GENTLY long and probably tedious
levee, q distant drive, and a ball prolonged until
dawn, might naturally have intsrfe-ed with the
proposed movements Of succeeding day. And
then there was that terrific and wonderful fall during
tie dances, so effectively made use of by the band
Of sOcial botters who soak up with thirsty avidty
every inadyertent drop Of royalty that happens
to be spiled Perhaps the fall had something
to do with the Princes partial seclusiOn on
Wednesday. AS an actual occurrence, it was, to
be cure, most Insignificant and commonplace
fall but DIS subsequently, recorded, it was one Of
the most prodigious events that ever claimed the
attention of an eager public. A strange and
complicated fall for according to testimony which no.
body ever cared dispute happened in at least three
totally different ways each equally startling and with
10 less than three different persons 1t does not
natural that Prince, auy more than the next mortal,
should possess the faculty Of falling upon his back aud
upon bis face at the time that he could pick
up his partner and be picked up by her at the same in
slant but the evidence points strongly TO just this state
of things. At all events, there was fall; that is
agreed upon; and any person who chooses to follow
the imaginative lead Of those who erect such stately
fabrics Of fiction on fmsiest foundations as have
been reared about the pathway of the royal visitor
NAV easily believe that either yeical injury moral
Ia.1,f of
induced the Princes omission to participate in some OF
the more popular festivities Of the closing day.
He did not visit Lorette where dozen ortwo ofhaf
breed Indians who cal ed themselves tribe appeared
dressed In style of the most remorseless caricature
and went through such national and illustrative diver
tisements as dancing "The Lancers" and drinking
deeply Of beer; and where imperfect set OF horse
races was made up; and where one Of the most beau
tful little cascades in the world murmurngly rebuked
the silly shams that surrounded it. But he went in the
morning TO the Laval University, a Roman Catholic
institution, where addresses were exchanged and in
the afternoon TO the Ursuline Convent where he
welcomed by some fifty of the inmates with songs as
well as words Of greeting. He subsequently visited
the citadel and rode for the last time through the lines
of eyergr ems and beneath the arches which adorned
tie streets In the evening fair display of fireworks
was offered The only serious sccden. Of the visit
here occurred. fra platform, crowded with specta
tors broke in pieces and precipated some hundreds
of persons 10 the ground. A few were severely in
iured but none believe fatally. This morning, at
10 o'clock The royal party took leave Of Quebec and
started il the steamboat Kingston for Montreal where
the most important ceremonies and the most extensive
celebrations Of the tour await them.
MONTREAL, Friday, Aug a. 1860
The weather true to its usual course to-day in
tolsrabe. The Princes approach is always proclaimed
BY storms A violent rain in the morning caused the
postponement Of the landing and public procession ar
ranged Tor tbis afternoon, until tomorrow. But as
the appointed hour drew ar, the heavy clouds 70 led
away, and all was clear for while. So it would
have been better TO have allowed no interruption.
