HON. A. S. CLsGAoRN.

bnrain, has received letters fiom
Hon. A. 5. Cleghorn, giving inter
esting particulars of his. visit to
England. His daughter, Princess
KaiuIani, accompanied him TO Lon
don, where, as elsewhere IN their
iauuts, she preserved strict incog-
nita, Mr. Cleghorn deeming it in
judleious to subject her to festive
hospitalities in her school days. His
conduct in this regard has been
highly commended by prominent
people in England. Mr.. Cleghorn
and the Princess were offered tickets
for very exclusive bail at Ports
mouth, which some influential Off
Gals failed to get for their friends;
but the kind invitation was declined
for the reason already noted The
Pail Mail Gazette of Aug. II con-
tains the following reference to the
visit of the Princess, making a mis-
take as to the mother of the Prin-
cess which is curious for so proml.
nent journal:
"rhe daughter of Queen Kapio-
lani-stlll remembered in London as
familiar figure in the jubilee cele-
brations-and heiress to the throne
of Hawaii, is in London preserving
the strictest incognita. She is stay
ing at one OF the big hotels as plain
Miss -, and is attended by
suite of three persons only, a gentle
man and two ladies, who have adopt
ed English names for the time being.
This Princess came to Europe some
time back to complete her education,
but will now shortly return to Homo
lulu She has acquired fair know
ledge of the English language, speak
ing clearly and dramatically, but
with distinct American accent,
which can only be accounted for by
the presumption that her tutor hail
ed from across the Atlantic. ;"
Mr.. Cleghorn and Princess Kaiulani
went to Portsmouth on August 10th,
returning to London on the 22nd.
They visited the Portsmouth dock
yard and the famous flagship of Mel
son, the Victory. The Admiralty
had given Mr.. Clcghorn letter or
dering that he be shown everything
he wished at Portsmouth. They met
Sir William Wiseman, who was here
IN IL. B. M 5. Caroline, and Lady
Wiseman, dining with them on board
the Imm0rtalite, of which Sir Will
liam is now the commander. During
the great review of the French and
English squadrons they were of
party of nine guests on board Of a
5OO-ton yacht belonging to the Rt.
Hon. W. H. Smith, leader of the
House of Commons. The yacht
sailed all round the two squadrons.
They were on board the Imuortalite
when Queen Victoria in her yacht
passed between the lines Of warships,
and the royal yacht anchored close
to the lmmortalite. They saw re-
view of 5000 troops at Portsmouth,
under the Duke of Connaught.
On the 25th of August the party
were to go on visit to Lord and
Lady Brassey. They had met Count
Szechenyi, who spent some time in
these islands two years ago, and Mr..
Cleghorn dined and went to the the
atre with him. They were going to
Scotland early in September, as they
had to be at Southport on the 18th,
and attend a garden party to be CIV
en- by Lady Wiseman for the Princess
ona the 10Th. They were to stop at
that place till the 18th or 10Th. The
Government people were very kind
to them, so that they could go any
where they wished by only mention
ing it. They had been shown all
over Windsor Castle. Mr.. Cleghorn
says he has not time to see half what
he wants to in London. The London
air does not agree with him, however,
and he describes the weather as
miserable. He was just recover
ing from severe cold that had con-
fined him to his room for some DAYS.
The London Graphic CT August
22nd repeats the mistakes of the
Pail Mall Gazette as follows. The
gentleman md two ladies', who have
adopted English names for the time
being" is good:
1.-The daughter of Queen Kapio-
lani, and heiress to the throne of
Hawaii, is in London preserving the
slrictest incognita. She is staying
at one of the big hotels, and is at
Tended by suite of three persons
only, gentleman and two ladies,
who have adopted English names for
the time being. This Princess came
to Europe some time back to com
plete her education, but will shortly
return to Honolulu.
