THE PRINCE OF WALEs-His Departure from. the
City.-The Prince has come and gone, and the
curiosity which his visit excited has been gratiied.
AT early hour yesterday morning the people
began to throDg the pavements of the Gmor House
and those adjacent: waiting anxiously for op-
portunity to get sight of the Royal visitor. Any
number ofrumors were afloat to the programme
Tor the day. Some said that the Prince would pre-
sent himself the balcony of the hotel at precisely
ten o'clock, and thus afford the anxious a chance
to get fulength sight of him. Others who had the
appearance ofbeing politicians to seed, said that
the first act in the programme would be the sound
ing of fire alarm, the Prince had expresstd d an
importunate wish to see the steam engines at work,
for the purpose of recommending the adoption of
similar system in London. This rather plau-
Sible and would, no doubt, have gained credence,
but that one of the crowd, who wore his hat slight


" to the side, and, withal, had rather knowing
look, said that the programme had been changed
and that it the intention of the Prince to pay
lying visit to Druid Hill Park, as he had great de-
sire to get lump of sugar from Sugar loaf Hill This
wel-infOrmed party settled the question, and the
crowd contented themselves by waiting for its full
hlment. The mass OF people continued to increase
rapidly, and before ten O'Clock the Monument was
surrounded and almost covered by them. Not a
few of the crowd were women-some OF them with
babies in their arms-and the Hibernian element
was particularly well represented. 1t had been
ranged the night previous that the Prince would
take ride, in an open carriage, at ii o'clock and
visit different parts of the city. few minutes
before that hour Mayor Swami entered the hotel,
and at IL O'Clock precisely the Prince the Duke of
Newcastle, Lord Lyons and Mayor Swami, de-
scended from the steps and took seats in the open
carriage in waiting. The moment the Prince made
his appearance the multitude, which numbered
several thousands, commenced to cheer, which was
gracefully acknowledged. The Mayor gave drec-
tiOns to the driver, and pointed to the eastern
tion of the city. The driver ill-mannered
fellow, and in place of driving towards Lexington
street, and turning to the east side of the
square to gain Baltimore street, he very de.
liberately wheeled his horses into the dense
ly packed crowd. Those people nearest the
carriage endeavered to press the crowd back, but
those in the did not appear to appreciate the
danger in which the front was placed, and obsti
nately pressed forward. The wheels actually
scraped against the people, and the Prince leaned
from the carriage to see if any harm occurred and
threw up his left hand, mOtoning the driver to de-
siSt from driving through the crowd. That indi-
vidual, however, appeared to more than appreciate
his position. He knew he had live Prince in the
'cehice and doubt thought that any of the s0ve-
reigns of this land would feel hOnored by having
limb broken by the gracious wheels of his ROYAL
Highness carriage. 1t was very evident however,
that the Prince did not share in such feelings as he
manifested much sociude until he was clear of the
crowd.


The party were driven through the eastern sec
ton of the city, and thence around Washington
Monument, and thence through the western and
northwestern sections. The Prince did not return
again to the hotel, but passed directly to the depot
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad, where he entered the special car which
waiting for him.


number of the members of the suite visited diff
ferent parts of the city, and the Marquis of Chandos
in company with William Prescott Smith, Esq,
visited the ship-yard of the Messrs. Winans, see
the queer iron steamer. They were received by
Messrs. Winans in most courteous manner, and
the steamer visited and duly examined The
Marquis expressed himself highly pleased with the
visit, but did not venture expression of opinion
as to the successful issue of the enterprise.


Soon after the arrival Of the Prince at the cars.
the members OF his suite also reached the depot and
after taking very kind farewell of Mayor Swami,
and expressing their appreciation of the kindness
with which they had been greeted in the city, the
whistle sounded, and the Royal party was on
its way to Philadelphia.


The interest in the Princes visit, and the anxiety
to get sight of him, so great, that not less
than two thousand people had gathered at the depot
to see bim depart. The same respect shown
him there on his arrival in the city, and in ac-
acknowledgement of the cheers, he bowed and raised
his hat. His quarters at the Gilmor House were
very fine, and he and the Duke of Newcastle ex-
pressed their approval Of their accommodations.
And just previous to their departure, the Earl of
St. Germans and Gen. Bruce extended their thanks
IN Mr. nFf fhn
mented him on the manner in which the party had
been entertained.


MARYLAND INSTITUTE FA1R.-Last evening the
Maryland Institute Fair was thrown open for Wis
itors, and from an early hour to the close was
densely thronged. The Blues Band was in attend
ance and performed some admirable pieces Among
the visitors were the Marquis of Chandos and lady,
accompanied by several friends. Soon after they
entered the band played Good save the Queen"
which was followed bvthe "Star Spangled Banner"
The distinguished visitors appeared much interested
in viewing the articles exhibition, particularly
those of the machinery department.


The Fair is of the best which has ever been
held. The articles exhibited are of a better class.
and more valuable than those of any of the Fairs of
late years. The machinery department exces
more than any other and yet is not as complete as
it will be. large quantity of most useful and
novel machinery arrived from Boston on Yesterday
and will be placed in the Fair during this week.
The lateness of this arrival has been occasioned by
the fact that the articles exhibition in the
Mechanics FAR, IN Boston. 1t was expected that
that Fair would have closed at earlier day than
it did, but failing to do so, it found impossible
to get the articles board the Boston steamer of
last week. as to arrive here in time to be placed
in the Institute previous to opening it. Besides the
machinery there has also arrived large number
of cases of other classes of articles. These goods
will be placed in the northern end of the hall where
space has been reserved for them.
