London Road Station long before 10
o'clock in the morning, the hour at
which it had been announced he
would arrive. The guest reached the
station at 1925 o'clock, and was receiv-
ed by the Mayor ard other members of
the corporation, after which the party
proceeded in carriages to the larger
factories, which the General inspected
with evident interest, and was then
driven first to the Assize Court, then
to the Royal Exchange, and finally to
the Town Hall, where an address of
welcome from the City Council was
delivered. In the evening General
and Mrs. Grant remained the guests of
the Mayor, al the Mayoral apartments
in the Town Hall, proceeding to Lon
don in the eTening by special train.
The Genenl's first visit of impor-
lance in London was on June 1st, in
acceptance Of an invitation from the
Prince Of Wales, to whom he was
formally introduced. The heir-appear-
ent Immediately requested the pleasure
of his guests company at EPSON, to
witness the races, and at few mo-
ments after one o'clock the royal
equipage, containing the Prince of
Wales, droyetp to the Victoria sta
ton at Pinlico, followed by the:
carriages of the American Minister
and others, Containing General Grant,
Lord Dudley Lord Echo, the Duke of
Hamilton, the German Ambassador
Count Munter, the Duke of Cam
bridge and a number of Peers-We
have no 'yassals" here, though I
understand iome Of your countrymen
are not SO sire. Of themselves. The
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cam
bridge, and the great American left
the station il the same compar tnent.
Last evening General Grant was en-
tertained by 4 grand banquet given in
his honor at Apsley House by the
Duke Of Wellington. It was a mag
nificent reception, and its regal splendor
was only equalled by it's heartiness.
The guests included counts and
countesses, lords and ladies', marqueses,
earls, vismuhts, &C., &C., all well
known in tho London world of high
social life,
4'3ao banquet was served in the
faknous Waterloo Chamber, where the
Iron Duke once delighted in the
companionhip of his generals to re-
call the exciting memories Of 1850.
The present Duke very happily re-
marked Thu it seemed to him the
most fitting thing that Americas
greatest Generals first public dinner
in London should be with the Duke Of
Wellington This might possibly look
egotistical, but it was not. General
Grant dinei with a great name, and in
this kingdom the question, "What's in
a name?" can have but one answer.
We thought it dramatic incident
that the descendant of the hero of
Waterloo should grasp hands with the
hero of thewar for the Union. Of
course the eminent guest was given
precedence IN the hOnors Of the even
ing, escorti1g the Duches Of Yelling
ton to the supper, and afterwards
escorting her to the reception. The
elegant hall was flooded with light,
which sufflBed the rich Ornamentation
of the apartment with a glow Of
Oriental richness. while the exquisite
costumes fitting among the wealth of
flowers and wreaths made the scene
indescribably fascinating. There were
no speaches worthy of note at the
supper, which though brilliant affair,
was quiet, and in a measure informal.
This morning the Prince Of Wales
gave private audience to the Ex-
President at the Marlborough House,
treating him in the most cordial man
ner, and presenting to him the MEM
bers of his household. The General
and Mrs. Grant have been extended in
Vitations to all the court entertain
ments, Her Majesty having given
special orders to the Lord Chamberlain
to waive the usual preventative
ceremonies.
