WE have seen very interesting account Of
the proceedings of the King and suite to
July l7th
The news of the death of the late Chief
Justice was received by telegram in London,
and will tend to hasten His Maiesty's return.
long conversation on the snbject of i'm
migration from British India was held with
the Under Secretary for India Sir Louis NAL
let, who talked the matter over freely and ex-
pressed an opinion that the English Govern
ment would be willing to enter into a conven-
tion with the Hawaiian, whenever the latter
may pass laws for the protection of such i'm
migrants as may satisfy the former, but the
laws must provide for an English Protector"
as is the case in other countries.
His Majesty intended to leave England on
the LIST of September, but there was no suit
able accommodation available till the 18th.
Mr.. Armstrong sails on the LIST, and will visit
Washington, etc. His Majesty proposes to
visit Paris, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Hol-
land, France and Portugal, returning to Paris,
and thence if possible, to England for few
days; he hopes to visit Scotland and Ireland,
embarking at Queenstown on the l4th of Sep
tember for New York, after day or two
there, will visit Hampton and some other
points of interest on his way to San Francisco.
Major Macfarane will accompany the King
on his continental and homeward journey.
The King was constantly and cordially re-
ceived by Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales,
tho nobility, and all were impressed with his
admirable sdroir fare and general manner and
conversation. At the Mansion House dinner
His Majesty was seated on the left of the Lord
Mayor and the Prince OF Wales on the right.
Etiquette on these occasions is usually strictly
adhered to, and it was decreed that the Prince
was to leave tue banquet hall first and the King
ten minutes later; but the Prince with that ex-
quiste tact to which he owes 80 much of his
popularity offered the spas" to His Majesty,
and then to settle the question took the Kings
arm, accompanied him down the stairway, saw
him into the royal carriage placed at his dis
posal, and saw it move off before entering his
own. On the 18th the King visited Sir Thos.
Brassey at his mansion near Hastings, and
on the next day the municipal authorities of
that town entertained His Majesty at lunch
and presented an address of welcome. Tho
King proposed to cross the channel at once,
but postponed his departure at the express de-
sire Of the Prince of Wales. During the stay
Of the Royal party in London they were over
whelmed with invitations, the majority of
which, were of necessity, declined. However,
tho King saw more in the time than perhaps
any other traveller, Royal or other, before him.

900 volunteers collected from the farthest
corners OF the Kingdom at Incredibly short
notice, marched past. was sight never before
witnessed in England; not regular, or even

During this whole time His Majesty gained the
warmest regard from every ono with whom he
came in contact

his way home from the Colonies a short time
ago.
