demonstrations of the Urangemen, and the
refusal of the Prince of Wales and his
suite to yield to their humor II has been un-
derstood for several d1ys that the Duke OF
New castle had expressly declared his determi-
nation to ter no city in which a par rtizan
display should be attempted. But, in spite of
this admonition, the Orangemen erected arches
bearing EN- blems aud inscriptions peculiar to
their order, and assembled this afternoon in
great numbers. clad in full robes and regalia,
with the intention of joining in the procession
of escort. A feeble endeavor of the municipal
authorities to ind uce their forbearsnce en- tirely
failed. A dispatch from Kingston, dated the
4th, says:
During the morning the Orangenen gathered
in the streets TO the mum Der of three thousand,
many coming from other places. They are
set Of fierce looking country fellows, some
dressed with regalia, and some in red, blue and
white gowns, while others wore drawn swords
and carry banners with notices of loyal
words, followed by the words mo Surrender
we support the Protest stant religion" The
arch which makes so much trouble is built of
eVergreens, with yellow and blue stripes, and
has upon it the motto, "Our God and the
q ueen of our country" with the names OF
inent Orangemen around. When the time
OF the Princes arrival passed, the excitement
greatly increased, and the people said if he
does not land here, every Protestant will be
an Orangeman and every Orangeman d rebel
The coming up of a rail- storm indicated the
approach of The Prince and at four O'Clock
the steamer Kingston, accompanied by fio-
tilla of steamers, rounded the fort and entered
the harbor. After a salute from the forts, the
Kingston cast anchor off the wharf, and
great crowd rushed to the dock and went Oft
in small boats to see the Prince, who appear ed
on deck looking at the city but he retired AS
soon he discovered he was thus surveyed
Steamers went round the royal boat, and the
crowd INDUCED in all sorts OF surmIses.
The Orangemen were drawn up ready for the
procession. There were no cheers from the
shore and but a few faint ones from the boat
Finally. the Councilmen went on board, and
returning, announced 10 the crowd that the
Prince would not land tonight. The Kings
ton moved farther from the shore, again an
chored, and the crowd slowly dispersed,
laughing at such g reception, saying that il
the Prince saw what they had nice for him, he
would rather come ashore than not.
They took the matter as good joke, saying
they could get along better without royalty
Imam royalty without them. The Orangemen
marched through the treets and under the
arch of the Catholics, laughing at them, and
iying, &" We knew he Wou ldn't land'-"kings
never tell lies" Those who seemed TO care at
all. blamed Governor General Head, whom all
seem to detest.
The City Council Immediately held meet
ing, a. which 4 resolution that the Mayor
should present an address on board the Kings
ston was voted down. II was then resolved
that be should present an address upon the
Princes landing at the Battery, and nowhere
else.
A debate then ensued on Il resolution to con-
fer with the Urangemen ard get them TO
abandon their parade, when Alderman Il Jbin-
son rose and said he was an OrangPman, and
that il no nse TO hold such conference,
as the OTangemen never would surrender, but
would meet the Prince everywhere he landed.
Alderman Cam mpbell said il the Prince did
not land here there We're only one or TWO
places where he could laud in Canada. Moth
ing would do them so much Injury. Emigra-
liCn would be stopped, and confidence in the
loyalty of Canadians would be shaken. AL
German Creighton declined TO serve on such u
comml lttee. He said he could not as a Pro-
teslant.
The real cause of the disturbance was a
Catholic resolution reqnestIng the Mayor to
stop the Orange parade. The copy which was
sent to the Duke OF Newcast tie induced his let
ter. Alderman Macrow denied that the Duke
had ever received the resolutions when he
wrote the letter. The Duke of Newcastle's
letter had reference to Toronto, aLd was writ
ten thirty-six hours before he received the
resolutions. Alderman Wilmot moved TO
change the Committee of Conference so as to
have on it all Catholic members of the Board
with Il Recorder. As the Catholics started the
disturbance, they should quiet it, He would
pledge himself If this was done, the Orange
men would withdraw. Alderman Highland
was opposed to the Orangemen, but was will
ling to make any sacrifice for the sake of hav-
ing a visit from the Prince. Several other
mem bers said the same thing. alderman Ma
crow refused TO do anything of the kind and
thought ne spoke for the majority of the Cath
olics Finally, Wilmots resolution passed.
aud the Council adjourned until O'Clock to-
morrow.
The Mayor refused to give to the press cor
rect copy of the Dukes letter, an abs of
which telegraphed yesterday. He has
bashful, hesitatIng disposition, aud to his vas
cillation much of the present difficulty is
owing. The Couucilmen are generally in teli.

largely in the majority. They know their
power and use il. 1t is not probable that the
Urangemeu will withdraw. The vote 20 turn
out Yesterday stands IL TO Il. There is great
excitement in the city and much drunkenness
There is some illumination, butit is not gene

On shore crowds of people are following a
troop of fautasticals. few houses are light
ei mp, a bonfire or two blaZes, and rockets are
fired.
The Conference Committee of the Common
Council have not had much success. The
members of the country lodges have gone home
to rest and The city lodges Will not promise
finally.
The Mayor thinks the Prince will land to-
morrow, the Orangemen joining III The pro-
cession afterwards. This is very doubtful,
and it is more probable parties will stand firm
and the Prince leave for Torento, TO meet the
same reception. Third Grand Master Game.

Rumors are current that the Prince will
stand firm in his opposition to this Orange
movement and turn his back on Toronto and
the rest Of Western Canada, and go direct to
Niagara Falls.
