ANTICIPATED ROYAL VISIT.
Great enthusiasm is manifested i'll Dublin
over the expected visit of the prince of Wales
to Ireland. The prince is already en- route, &C.
companed by Prince Arthur, the duke of Cam
bridge, the marquis of Lorne, and number of
other members of the nobility and officers Of the
army. The royal party will arrive in Dublin to-
night. The prince will review the troops in

the lord mayor is expected TO surpass in bril-
liancy anything of the kind yet given in Ire
land.
Ldter.-The prince of Wales and party arrived
tonight, and had a popular reception. The
weather was unusually cold for the season, and,
although the streets were crowded, the demon
strations were not so enthusiastic as might have
been under more favorable circumstances. The
Fenian element was not absent, and, as the roy
al visitors passed, some Kisses were heard from
the sidewalks. The city is gaily decorated with
flags, but the illumination tonight is not as
general as was expected.
