The last day of the Prince In this country
appears 10 have been among the mos pleasan n t.
Boston distinguished herself by the genuine
nos p,tality ana unosteniatious respect with
which all the Incidents OF the reception were
managed. The ball was neither so grand nor
| SO select as the New York affair. but was re-
ally much more enjoyable. On Friday. the
prlhce, a. ms own request, was taken TO
Bunker Hill. The whole suite went in to the
Monument and recorded their names in the
book kept for visitors. The spot where War
rem FELL and the remaining portion of the
American fortihca,ioDs, received the marked
attention of the Duke Of Newcastle and Gen

by the place and the memories connec ted with
IL Cambridge, Mount Auburn Cemetery and

college he was welcomed at Doane Hall by
President FELTON, and the faculty. and with
hearty cheers by the students. After visiting

A dispatch from Portland, Saturday, gives
an account of the last day of Baron Renfrew
In the United States:
at noon great crowd of people, together
with large num Der of carriages, assem- bied in
the streets around the Grand Trunk Railway
Depot, to welcome the Prince TO this city
The special train from Boston, with the Prince
and suite on board, crossed The city line at
forty minutes past one, which was announced
by u national salute of thirty three guns from
BramhalI Hill. The train arrived AT the depot
few minutes after, the engine and cars being
finely decorated with the American and Eng
llsh flags, &c. The royal car was elegantly
furnished for the occasion with a bountiful
md lRh Hot tim ~ e.
On alighting from the car the Prince was
greeted with repeated cheers from our citizens
and numbers OF Canadian subjects and British
officers present. He was received by Mayor
Howard, of this city, British Admiral Milne,
Commodore Seymour and other royal officers.
Mayor Howard greeted the Prince with Il
brIef welcome, leading him Immediately to his
carriage, presenting him, en- paSSdnt, to the
mem bers OF the City Council, who sal u ted him,
the Prince raising his hat in return.
The Prince rode in the Mayors barouche.
with the Mayor, the Duke of Newcastle and
Lord Lyons, the royal suite following in five
other carriages. They were escorted by the
First Regiment, under command OF Colonel
Sneat The procession proceeded 10 the VIC
toria Wbaryes, which were built Tor The u rea t
Eas tern, where the royal barge was awaiting
his Royal Highness, and whence he embarked
at fifteen minutes past three O'Clock, the mill
tary presenting arms. Before lhs Prince en-
barked he shook hands cordially with
Lord Lyons, the Mayor, the British Consul
the British squadron ali fired royal salute of
twenty-one guns, and similar salntes were
fired from The city and from ort Preble
The harbOr was full of steamers, sailboats,
barges, &c, which accompanied the royal
barge from the wharf, the latter being sur
rounded by boats from the royal squadron
filled with British officers. There was fresh
easterly breeze blowing and the water in the
harbor was quite rough, SO that the boats
rowed quite slowly. AS the flotilla neared
the royal squadron the yards were manned,
and this, with the strings of bunting and flags
flying from every point of the fleet, formed a
magnificent spectacle, which was witnessed
by an immense concourse OF people, assembled
on Mount Joy, the varisus piers, and every ac-
ce ssibie place of observation.
As the royal party passed the various ves-
sells of the squadron the Prince was received
with repeated cheers, and when he reached the
Hero, at ten minutes before four, the royal
standard was run up TO the "main," and
aAother salute fired by all the fleet. The rig
ging of each vessel was instantly stripped of
the bunting, and the sailors disappeared from
aloft.
AT half past four the squadron sailed, steer
Ing out OF The harbor, the Hero leading, fol-
lowed by the Nile, Arladne, Flying Fish and
the Styx, salutng and being saluted by the
Fort they passed. The Governor of this
State visited the Hero yesterday, and was re-
ceiyed with sditable honors. The city is
thronged with Canadian visitors. The officers
OF the royal squadron have made many ac-
quain tances here, and evidently enjoyed them
selves finely, being rendered every possible at
ten tion by our citizens.
The royal squadron will steam only long
enough to clear the land, and the remainder
of the voyage will be made under sail. The
Nile and Styx will leave the squadron off
Halifax.
