(By cable TO the Dispatch.l
DUBLIN, April s.--The Prince and
Princess Of Wales and their eldest son,
Prince Albert Victor, slept on board
the royal yacht Osborne. at Holyhead,
last night. They left Holyhcad at
quarter past 6 this morning, and Ar
rived at Kingston at hslf-past III. The
Osborne was escorted across the Chan
mel BY the EnchantreSs, paddle-wheel
Yacht belonging TO the navy.
Large numbers Of people had assem-
bled upon the docks to greet the royal
visitors. Kingstown was crowded with
people. and the town is profusely deco
rated with flags and bunting. A num-
Der Of excursion steamers thronged the
bay decked out with gay-colored bunt
ing. and six vessels ofthe channel squad
ron were in waiting arrayed with flags
of all nations and brilliant with varied
oolored streamers.
The Osborne was sighted when still
ten miles out, and as she drew nearer
was greeted with salvos Of artillery
from the men-ofwsr. When the Os-
bsrne touched the pier and the royal
party disembsrked the throsg raised
loud and enthusiastic cheer. Dublin
presents lively appearance, but there
are many indications that there is ne
great popular enthusiasm. Outside The
route Of the procession the decoration
Of the city is far from being general.
Another flag has been substituted Tor
the enc missing, and this is now float
ing ever the Mansion House.
In spite Of the fears Of stormy day
the weather smiled propitiously upon
the arrival of the royal party, and the
sun was shining brilliantly when they
placed foot upon Irish soil. Earl
Spencer, Lord-Lieutenant Of Ireland,
received the Prince and his party,
and the Tswn Commission pre-
scented an address Of welcome. The
Princess at the same time was made the
recipient Of numerous bouquets. The
crowd, which numbered thousands, kept
up continuous cheering during the re-
ception. and chcered lsud and long as
the royal guests proceeded to Dublin.
When the royal party arrived at the
railway station from Kingstown, at 2
o'clock, they were met by members of
the Dublin Chamber of Commerce,
whose president read that body's
address Of welcome to the Prince and
Princess. The entire route along which
the visitors were taken from the station
to Dublin Castle was crowded with peo-
pie. The vast crowd was composed OF
all classes. Not a sign Of any feeling
of hostility was displayed, but, on the
contrary, the reception appeared to be
cordial and unanimous. Along the
route of procession many persons
were crowded in past the escort
of lanccrs. The Prince Of Wales
took all these irregularities good
naturally and shook hands cordially
with all within sreach. Earl Spencer,
the Irish Viceroy, was loudly cheered
SIS he drove through the streets of Dub
lin in the procession. Lord-Mayor
John O'Conncr, who is strong Ma
tionalist, but who drove in official state
with the royal escort, was loudly Kissed
by the NatiOnalistS. Not sign of
welcome is visible on the City Hall of
Dublin, and this fact stands out so con-
spicuously as to force comments.
