GREATEST Ymauguration of Crystal Palace and Completion of Victoria Bridge. DAY YET. 4 GENERAL GOOD TIME. Grand Descent by Crineline Upon the Decorations, A FEMALE FORAGING PARTY. The Roman Catholic Clergy Demand an Apology from the Prince, &., &e, Mosrrmat, August 25, 1860. ‘Thie bas been the great day of the Prince’s visit to Ca- mada, for to-day he has inaugurated that immense bridge which has linked England with her provinces and brought royalty to loyalty, Had the bridge never been completed At;je not likely that any of the royal family would ever ave come to Canada. ‘The moring was sunshiny, and as like that of a summer day in America as Canada can afford. THE DISEMBARKATION OF THE PRINCE AT MONTREAL. ‘The Prince is losing bis reputation for punctuality, bow- ever, for he disembarked at ten instead of nine o'clock, Janded at the wharf described yesterday, and was received by the Mayor and city officials. The steamers near the @ock and in all the surrounding neighborhood were gay with flags and crowded witn humanity. ‘thousand people were present. The Prince took his place ‘upon a dais, with bis suite in a semicircle around, and Mayor Rodier advanced inarobe of scartet, trimmed with otter, and a long sword which tripped him as he walked. He expects to be knighted, and every moment ., of the royal sword. Finding no chance of this, he unfurled ‘@ parchment and read, in English and French, the follow- ‘May rr Puxase Your Royar Hicuyrss— We, the jor, Aldermen and citizens of the city of mentieal’ weet respectfully beg leave to approach your of the Se et eee bm a peter yt ney Do - ‘ment to the person and government of our most ious , ee and eur love aud veneration of and graces which adorn her private |:fe.

The Prince was received with Sir.Edmund Head made aa address to his Royal High- ness, asking him to inaugurate the exhibition, to which the Prince read the following reply, in a more animated manner than usual:— ‘Most readily I consent to the request you have made, & youast tho tore sareqaing versete is con’ to me be eS oer digee Boge it ‘am not ignorant of the high position obtained by Canada im the great Exhibition of 1851, was opened under the happy auspices of the Queen and the Prince . and as carrying out the of tbat memorable under- taking, ‘emailer, but to moet interesting collec- The Prince then declared the exhibition open, and walked round inspecting the articles. The exhibition has been very much burried, and was not at all complete, especially in the mecbanical department. The articles were those usually found at country fairs. None of the aristocracy were present in the audience except Lady Franklin and a few attendants, LAYING THE CORNER STONE OF THE VICTORIA BRIDGE. ‘The Prince then rode over the worst road in the world to the depot of the Grand Trunk Railroad, where a great crowd had assembled to witnees the laying of the corner stone. The approach to the bridge was lined with seats, to | hich persons were admitted only by ticket. Inside the abutment were seats for the higher classes, covered with red cloth, while the gallery above was reserved for the families of the legislators. A scaffold was erected for the Prince near the corner stone, which was slightly raised, together with an appa- ratus for lowering the stone. Trains with invited gussts came iret. ca The Prince and suite having ascended the platform, the builder of the bridge handed bim a silver trowel, the han- dle of which was made of Camadian beaver and connected with the blade by the Prince’s feather. On the blade was ‘an inscription commemorative of the completion of the bridge by the Prince. On the reverse was a representa- tion of Victoria Bridge. ‘The mortar having been placed under the stone by the mason, and the Prince baving received directions from the Duke of Newcastle, took a little mortar on the trowel and spread it under the stove in fine style. The stone was then slowly lowered, and the Prince tapped it three times with a wooden maliet, ‘The ceremony being completed, cheers and salutes thun- dered out upon the air, The Prince then entered the car, proceeded to the centre arch of the bridge, fastened two rivets, and then proceeded across to St. Lamberts, retura- ing im time for the déjeuner. THE VICTORIA BRIDGE. The Victoria Bridge is # part of the Grand Trunk Railway, and spans the River &. Lawrence a short distance from Montreal. It was commenced im 1864 and finished in 1859; but undoubtedly its pro- gress was impeded by the monetary crisis of 1857, which affected the affairs of the company, or it might have been fully two years earlier completed. Thus the amount of work performed in 1856 was equal to that effected in 1854 and 1865. In 1967 buts very trifling addition was made to the amount of the previous year, whereas, in 1868 as much work was done as in the two preceding years. THR BRIDGE—DESCRIPTION. The bridge Contains twenty-live openings of 242 feet, with the exception of the centre span, which is 330 feet, hence the length of tube js 6,600 feét, approached by em- bankments, the Montreal end being 1,200 feet, the south- ern shore of 800 feet, which, including the abutments, makes a total of 9,034 feet, or one and three quarter miles nearly. The abutments are, at the base, each 278 feet long, divided into cells of twenty-four feet, with inter. vening tie walls of ve feet, but at the top they corres- pond exactly with the length of » tube 242 feet in length, and indeed are carried up to the same height, the colle being filled with gravel. To resist the thrust of the ice, both the abutments and piers are furnished with @ cut- water, which meets the pier proper thirty feet above summer water, the whole height of the abutment being thirty eix feet above summer water, the centre pier being sixty feet; hence the bridge rises tn a grade of one inch in 182, or forty feet to the mile, the centre again being a pure level. The centre pier is twenty-four feet in width, the remaining piers are but sixteen feet, These dimen- sions are directly under the girder, for at the foundation the piers are twenty two feet in width and at summor wator sixteen feet. Transversely the piers are thirty Ubree feet under the girder. Thus the dimensions at the jeaction with cutwater, sixteen by thirty-three fect, ex- tending outwards to the foundation up stream, make the area of the course whence the cutwater is commenced sixteen by ninety feet, MASONRY. Three millions of cubic feet of masonry in the Victoria bridge! That is to say, if turned into lineal measure it would reach 510 miles, or, a# a solid, would form a pyra- mid 216 feet high having a base of 216 feet equare. These figures will give some idea of the solidity of the stracture, and the warrant that exists for ite endurance for all time. ‘The stone itself was mostly quarried from Pointe Claire, ‘and forme the Grst in the series of the Lower Silurian, and is known by the geological term of Chazy, resting im- mediately on the calciferous sand rock and the Potadam sandstone. At the quarry the stones were taken out in as Jarge masses as in any quarry in the world. We shall be borne out Im this statement of this fact in the dimensions of the piers. The courses being 3 feet 10 inches and 3 feet to 2 feet 6 inches to above water level, and thence verging into a course 18 inches under the plates, being in length from 7 feet to 12 feet. One course of ashuiar of 2 feet 10 inches was examined by the engincer during the progress of the work. The perimeter of tne pier at this point measured 200 feet. it consieta of 92 stones, the lightest of these weighet 7 tons, the heaviest 17, thoaverage weight of the whole was 104 tons. Fach course, to the top of the cutwater is fastened by a dogwedged bolt of 134 inch iron—that is to say a bolt with the base silt to receive a wedge into which an irom prism i# inserted. Thus prepared, thoy were passed down until ft reached the bottom of the hole drilled to receive it, When tie bolt itself was driven upon the wedgo—thus widening out the end of the bolt, so that it never can be again drawn out, passing throogh the whole courses into the third below it, Thus every three courses ‘fare distinctly dowelled together, and the whole mass of work being fikewige laid in the best water lime, aud care- fully grouted, is formed into one solid mass, for horizon- tally the joiuta aro likewise kept cramped together by plates 12 inches by 4 inches of }¢ inch iron. TURES. Each tube covers (wo openings, that is to say, it is fixed tm position in the centre, and ls free to expand or oatract on the adjoining two piers. They are eixieon inches by nineteen inches at the onda, but they gradually increave’ | $0 the contre, at which potot they are aixteen foet by | twenty-one feet eight inches. ‘The length will according- E Feet. ‘The expansion rollers are seven in number, in each set of tix inches diameter, in @ cast iron frame rolling om planed bed plates, the rollers themselves being turned and the beds piated, they rum ag smoothly ag on glass. The weight of each tube, with all its appurtenances of 516 feet, i» abont 644 tons, that is to say for cach opening 322 tons. The construction cf this character of work is now £0 well known that much allusion is not necessary. Moreo- yer it ig simple in the extreme, being formed of boiler plate riveted together with angle irons and lateral aud transverse braces, The skill laid in reducing this boiler iron to such dimensions that there was no unneccasary material, to add to the weight and to the expense, and yet obtaining a sufficiency of strength. The immediate part of the tube resting on the pier is 8 trengthened by increased lateral bracing. ‘The tubes themselves were constructed in position, and the difficult and expensive process of floating them from the shore and lifting them by hydraulic pressure was thus dispensed with. ‘THE COST OF THE HRIDGE, ‘When we say that the cost of the bridge ls $7,000,000, we give ontfa'faint idea of the responsibility in directing fo great awork, The force on tho river during the last ‘season of its construction was a small army. It consisted of six steamboats, seventy-two barges, besides seversl small craft. These measured about 12,000 tons. The were manned On toe various Works oabagee ‘Various wor! laborers, Total laborers and artizans.. To this strength must be employed, and four locomotives—the amount of wages being daily $5,000. In round figures there are 3,000,600 cubic feet of ma- sopry, 10,000 tons of iron in the tubes; 2,000,000 rivess, each one fastened by s peculiar process, and 168 acres of painting. The tubes are painted four times, in oil and color, and each coat covers an area of thirty two acres. THE VICTORIA BRIDGE MEDAL. Tn commemoration of the inauguration of the bridge by the Prince, a gold medal has been struck, which is a beau- tiful specimen of ari. It bears on its face a represezta- tion of a train of cars just emerging from the bridge, while in the foreground are visible a steamer ascending anda raft coming down the river. Above the bridge are the armorial bearings of the Canadian provinces, the figures of which are in bold relief. ‘The inscription is as follows:— THE Wtronia BRIDGE MEDAL.

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA. steer wevau nti henseweramaten 8 Jarererncne: Attached to the arms are the names of Ross and Ste- venson, the engineers. ‘1hree circular medallions on the reverse of the medal contain the busts of the Queen, Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, all well delineated. ‘The medallion of the Queen is supported by an oak wovoraeds rene re. j branch, with a branch of roses overhead; Prince Al- bert is supported by an oak branch with a thistle over- head, while the Prince of Wales’ medallion has his crest and motto, “Ich Dien,” with « branch of shamrock on one side and @ beaver on the other. The royal arms and legend of England in high relief surmount the whole. In the centre is the following inscription:— Quvegsoveseoveseees sesree.se sesesvovccsosesese sete ee) The Victoria Bridge copsists of 23 spans, 242 feet | saa one in centre 336 feet, with « long the Prince did not knight Mr. Hodges, as was expected; but the honor is either deferred or reserved for some other person. ‘The dijeuner was in one of the buildings of the com- pany, and proved a grand affair. One thousand people were feasted. The Prince occupied a seat at a raised table, with his euite, The Governor General proposed three regular toaste— “The Queen,’’ ‘The Prince Congort’’ and “The Prince of Wales,’’ all of which were received with immense cheer- ing. | The Prince bowed in response, and then ina clear and | Audible voice proposed “The Governor General of Canada, and the Prosperity of the Grand Trunk Railway.”’ | These were received with tremendous cheering, during which the Prince bowed and retired. He then walked about inspecting the works, guarded by his suite, but followed by a rabble like that which used to gather around the Japanese in the streets of New York. He seemed very much annoyed, as this is the dret time such a thing has occurred. Soon after be entered a carriage and drove to bis quarters, the house of Hon. Joba Rose, which is now occupied by Sir Fenwick Williams, The gentlemen of the New York committee were intro- deed to the Prince by Lord Lyons, and they were well | received and treated with every possible attention. Toey rode in the royal car, and are to have an interview with the Duke of Newcastle on Monday, when the subject of their mission will be considered. To-morrow the Prince will attend the cathedral, to which admission can be obtained only by ticket. During the Prince's absence a great ecrambie, in which the ladies joined, occurred at the bridge, over the flowers, evergreens, gold fringe and other decorations, as memo- rinis of the occasion. Al! the curtains and flowers were thus torn down. ‘The Boston Fusileers took a prominent part in the re- ception, and were heartily cheered. Last night they ser: enaded Lady Franklin and were introduced to her. ‘The Grand Trunk Railroad Company ga" ipper to its employés and many invited gueste at six tbis afternoon. At night the city and shipping in the barbor were splen- idly illuminated. The display was as brilliant, but not as unanimous, artistic and effective as that at Quobeo. { ‘The same description will apply to both. The effect waa spoiled by rain. The perple blockaded the streets so — that carriages could not pass. The splendid display at Victoria Bridge did not take place unt) after eleven o'clock. ‘One or two persons have been run over in the streets.

THR FIELD DAY. ‘To-day has been the grand fleld day of the Quebec cele- bration, though Iam sorry to say that the audience had greatly thinned out, and comparatively few persons re- ‘mained to witness the displays. As I wrote yesterday, Montreal now attracts the crowds, and besides this the wet weather of the last few days has thrown a dampener upon the ardor of the loyal pro vincials, who have returned to their business ‘fod their wives, and take but little interest generally in the passage of the Prince through the streets, or in any- ‘thing but the more important features of the day. This morning was as rainy and as disagreeabic as its predeces- sor, and it appeared as if the weather had taken a spite ‘against bis Royal Highnees, and meant to keep usall ia ‘that peculiarly dissatistied and discontented state of miad which accompanies wet clothing, and renders us unable to be pleased even by a Prince. In spite of the rain and the muddy streets, however, the soldiers of the garrison marched into town and formed lines along the stree's ‘through which the Prince was to pass, in order to keep back the crowds which did not make their appearance, and the Seventeenth regiment, which is detailed as a guard of honor, marched out to the Governor's residence to escort the Prince to the Parliament House. Meanwhile every gentleman who could raise a black suit, white kids ‘and a white neckcloth—and I assure you that it was very difficult to obtain them at any of the stores in this city— passed the time in arraying themselves and cursing the tailors, while hacks, carriages and caleches toiled through the mud and deposited their cargoes, in full dress, with ornamental mud relieving the waste of black Clothe at the door of the Paria Hoar, 0 mard the Prinee by bis guard the Prince and bis suite through the jong Hles of soldiery, and as he neared Parliament House a royal ealute thundered from Parham Terrace, pear at band, and the people in front of tbe building wel- comed him with a faint cheer. There were plenty of car- riages in the vicinity of the levee, but very ew ocutsiders—a couple of hundred or lees—for 1) who could, had stiffened themselves in court suits and eptered their nemes for presentation. The entrance end the lobbies of the house were crowded with these gevtry, anxiously awaiting the moment for which they had prepared so largely. ‘Tum Lever. The couteil chamber haa been already described In your columns, and !t is gufficient to say that it is alarge, square room, gaudy with ecarict carpets, crimton seats aud a gilt chancelier. At one extremity of this room isa dais, carpeted with crimson, upon which the Prince took his seat upon a large throne chair, bis suite ranging them- fel res apon either side. After afew minutes’ conversation, curing which the Priace laughed and joked famiharly with those about bim, laughing and eliciting much laughter by ‘*# remarke, he signified his intention of opening the ee, and after this order had been ted about a doors were opened abd the reception and presentation began. A‘ter the Roman Catholic bishops, in their porpliah silk gowns, and the judges, in their lorg robes and white bands, came the members of the two houses of Parliament, the ad- dreeees of which were read by the Speakers in'both the French and Begleh languages, Then the parchment roll upon which the addrese was written having been banded to the Prince, by bim carefully Pp iu the bands of the Far!

His Hi read his reply in both English and Freeh, and the French men in the audieoce were delighted with the fueney and perfection with which the Prince pronounced their language. The Prince read in a low voice, with Poy hm poy made still more em- phatic by his nodding and the nervous twitching of his eye, which one remarks at first sight of his fea- tures, At the conclusion of the reply the Speakers of beth houses knolt before the Prince, who touched them yhthord: "Rise, Sir Marci Bellan;” ith,’ apd the favored ones bowed ‘Vhetr trains All of the members of both houses were then presented, and this ceremovy, which was the ame in all cases, Cid not eeem to me worth the trouble and anxiety of the preparation for it.

THR LAST DAY IN QUEDEC. The movements of the Prince to-day have been tele- graphed to you at such length and ip euch detail that very ttle remains for me to do except to fill out the rough outlines of the despatches. And, first of all, I must tel! you one or two little incidents in regard to the Prince, which go further to give you an idea of his character than the most elaborate descriptions. Henry Smith, the Speaker of the lower house of Parliament, who was kn’ghted by the Prince yesterday, has been going about all day intruding himself in various places—the Ursuline Convent, for instance—as if on purpose to be questioned, and when asked his name, replied pompously, “Sir Henry Smith,” indulging to the full his new blown and not very high dignity. This recalls to mind an incident which oc- curred during the Prince’s voyage from England:—I am to knight four or five persons in Canada,” he said to ove of the nayal officers, “and as I never knighted anybody ‘defore, I am yot eure that I will not cut off their heads.” THR PALL OF THE PRINCR. 1 gent you m full report of the ball by mail and telegraph this morning, but was slightly in error in regard to the Prince's fall. It was the lady—who ie va riously named Mre. Cartier, Miss Sewall and Mise Ander fon—who assiated the Prince to rise, instead of bie rais ing her. At the conclusion of the dance, which he con- tinued as if nothing had happened, he remarked to his fa- vorite little middy that he bad had a “great epiil.” It was pique at this accident as much as anything else, pro bably, which kept the Prince at the bal! so late and made him dance #0 often, as if to show his subjects that it war not often such mishaps occurred. The accident was caused, more than anything else, by the Prince's habit of flinging his limbs sround as he waltzes, in the Jotest Lon don style, which, like the latest style of London gene. rally, is anything but pleasant to behold THR BRITISH HIDDY. ‘This young middy is very familiar with the Prince, and the pair afforded much amusement last evening by quiz zing each other at every opportunity. “0, you hare been dancing with another six-footer,”’ remarked the Prince to his little attendant. “What if I haver"’ wae the ly, unprefixed by any title of addresr; why can’t you introduce a fellow (0 some of Your partners, then’"’ “Al ughter at this impudence, the Prince the saucy mid. to the lady with whom he was dancing.

Writing of New York reminds me that Mr. Thotapeon, the private secretary of Mayor Wood, reports that Lord Lyons has granted him an interview to morrow, and that he has been unofficially informed that the Prince will accept the Mayor's invitation, and frit permit any suck demonstration* as the people ree fit to A TAS LE OPERMIDE ALMON ‘The French citizens, who compoee about half the pops.

A decent cheer could wg be raised either at the ball last eveniag, or at the fireWerts to night, for either the Prince or the Queen, ord when the P'ricoe is cheered during his passage the street, the Frenchmen ask, as if innocently, “ What ie all this poite about?’ This feeling bas displayed iteel? ail through the reception ; and ibe Prince is quite annoyed that so Many aidresees have been nted to bim in Frenoh, and that the addremes eren of officials should be read to him firet in French and then io Foglish. This fecting i shared by all the English residents, and vente it- felt in varjons rumors, as a eammple of which, we give the current report that the Prince will be assassinated at Montreal, if jee by two Frenchmen, who have taken an otth to eccomplich the deed. The French residents simply shrug if shoulders ai this canard, and say that even if the Prince is kilied the Queen hag plenty of sooe to supply hie piace. There indications of iil feeling are too important to be disregarded. Tuey were shown atoll more plainly at 7M LA VAL UNIVERSITY, 4 a Romer Catholic semingry for pricete, this morning.

The rulee of the convent exclud male visiters, except those connected wth royalty, and it isa Nar coincidence that no person cf the gen- der of your correspondent bas visited the convent, until this morning, since the Duke of Kent, the Prince’s grandfather, was admitted, ago. ‘The Prince was received in a large room, with a dais and throne at its extremity, by some sixty’ young ladies of the best families of Canada, who sang in aolo and cboros the following original SONG OF WELCOME. cuoRus.

One of the ladies then read, in French, the addrese to the Prince, “omnes, bim to their convent and wishing bim Jong Ife and piness. The Prince, who seemed much and repeatedly blushed, then read the follow: ief reply, addressing the Lady Superior of the Convert: — JapaMe—] thank you for these expreseione of kindly interest in my visit to the city of Quebec, and the per- sopal good wishes which thie address manifests.
