THE NEW YORK HERALD. NO. &810. WHOLE THE PRINCE ON THE OCE THE RUN FROM BOSTON TO PORTLAND. THE DEMONSTRATIONS ON THE ROUTE. THE PROCESSION THROUGH PORTLAND, Arrival at the Wharf and Departure ef the Royal Fleet for England. IMPOSING SCENES IN THE HARBOR, ae., &e., &o, Poarianp, Oct. 21, 1860. ‘The special train from Boston, which left at half-past ime this morning, crossed the city line with the Prince fend suite at forty minutes past one—the arrival being an- pounced by a national salute of thirty-one guns from Bramhall Hill. The train arrived at the depot a few mi_ Boutes after, the engines and car being gayly decorated ‘with the American and English flags, The royal car was elegantly furnished for the occasion with a bountifal and rich collation of meats, fruits, wines, &o. ‘The engine was ablaze with crimson and gold, and fairly @overed with flags. Having entered the car, he reappear- ed at the request of Mayor Lincoln, thanked the Lancers for their escort and complimented them upon their ap- pearance, and aid that his visit to Boston had been most eatisfactory. The Prince was escorted to the Eastern Railroad depot Dy a troop of Lancere, He appeared in excellent humor, bowing and smiling responses to the demonstrations of the populace. At the depot he took leave of Mr. Winthrop and other distinguished citizens. Mr. Everett being too ‘mwell to be present, Mayor Lincoln, Senator Sumner and Governor Banks accompanied the party to Portland, The train proceeded very rapidly, stopping only two minutes at each of the places named. At Lynn the school children were aseembled and the crowd was immense. At Newburyport the schoo! children and the Cushing @uard paraded. At Saiem there was a great crowd, and a national salute was fired. At each of the above places the Prince came out upon the piatform and bowed his responses to the salutations. The gatherings were very orderly and respectful. At Portemouth, New Hampshire, Governor Godwin was received om board the train and introduced to the Prince and to the crowd. The Prince said to the Governor that he was sorry that he could only make a flying visit to New Hampshire. He would be pleased to see more of it. Governor Morrill, of Maine, received the party at the depot. By noon a great crowd of people, together with a large Bumber of carriages, bad assembled in the streets around the depot of the Grand Trunk Railway to welcome the Prince to this city. The neighboring streets were fairly ammed with people, who cheered enthusiastically, waved Sages and handkerchiefs, and in every way sought to honor their departing guest. Many of the military companies present bad come from a distance of fifty miles to take part in the reception. The day has been an Indian summer day, with an east wind to give edge to the at- mosphere. The vessels in the harbor, the public bulld- ings, the observatory and the British fleet were all decor- ‘Sted with fage, and business, as a general thing, was sus- pended. Over the entrance to the Pastern depot was a magnif- cent arch, with the inscription, “Welcome, I'rince of Wales.” The depot was roofed in with the flags of al) na- tions, and carpeted with green and crimson cloth. On alighting from the car at the depot, the Prince was Greeted with repeated cheers from the people. A large pumber of Canadians and British officers were present. He was received by Mayor Howard of this city, British Admira! Milne, Commodore Seymour and other royal offl- cers. Mayor Howard greeted the Prince with a brief ‘welcome, presenting him to the members of the City Council, who saluted him, the Prince raising his hat in re turm. Be was then conducted to the Mayor's barouche, in which he rode with the Mayor, the suite following in Bive other carriages bebind. ‘Bey were cacorted by the First regiment, under com- mand of Colonel Smeat, consisting of the following com- panies —Portiand Mechanic Blues, Portland Light Infan- try, Portiand Light Guard, Portland Rifle Guard and the Portiand Kifle corps (which latter acted as body guard), and by the Norway Light Infantry, Leweston |ighi In- famtry and the Auburn artillery, with several bands of music. The procession passed through India, Middle, Tree, High, Danforth, State, Congress and Atlantic streets, to the Victoria Wharves, which were built for the Great Eastern, where the royal barge was awaiting bis Royal Highness. Passing under a large arch on the hill back of the har- bor, and walking down a long flight of steps to the point of embarkation, the Prince, after quickly reviewing the troops, which were drawn up along the wharf, said, “I’m very cold—burry,’’ and moved towards the Hero’s barge. The steps leading to the boat were covered with crimson cloth. Shaking hands with Lord Lyons, the British Cen- ful, Governor Banks, Governor Goodwin, Mayor Lincoln and Mayor Howard, to whom he said, “I am sorry my visit bere has been #0 brief,” he jumped into the barge. ‘The remainder of the party stayed a few moments, shaking bands, eaying “goodby” to their Canadian friends, Go- vernor Banks, Senator Sumner, and many Americaas to whom they bac been previously iatroduce!. The Prince went on board at precisely Gfleen minutes past three o'clock, the military presenting arms. ‘The scene was most imposing. Many vessels were lying in the harbor, and these, with the wharves and ves. ‘eels lying at them, were biack with people, and the hills Debind were literally covered, the gay dresses of the Indies giving them the appearance of being covered with eutumnal woods. Still behind these, upon the summit of Moant Joy and the neighboring hills, were hundreds of carriages, filled and covered with curious observers. The harbor was full of steamers, sailboats, barges, &e., which acoompanied the royal barge from the wharf, the latter being wurrounded by boats from the royal squadron, filled with British officers. There was « fresh casterly wind blowing, and the water in the harbor was quite rough, so that the boats rowed quite slowly, As the Sotilla peared the royal squacron, the yards were manned and this, with the strings of bunting and flags fying from every point of the (leet, formed @ magnificent spec tacie. During the procession the Prince's carriage stopped a moment, and the whole party were photographed Monjoy bill, upon which Portland is built, rises two Dundred feet from the water, and was covered with gay!y dreamed iadiee. Letters and despatches were received by the pariy toon after reaching Portiand, and the Dake of Newcastie read his papers as be rode in the procession. The letters were <istributed at the wharf before the confusion wae over, and the baggage was on board whea the Princ» ar rived. While the cortege was progressing, sailors w pied, under the direction of Commodore Seymour, ting the royal party’s baggage on board the ships article of clothing seemed to be done up in a separate port mantean. Sumerous were the parcels, Dr. Ackiaod had many boxe of books ani mathematical instrument:, \v cloding tome presented by Senator Seward. Among >ther articles, the Prince had several tartles, which he had cap tored on the prairie, and an immense box containing large moose horn, from Casads. Lord Hinchenbrooke ba singing birde and courier squirrels At inet the Prince's barge, which bore his plames on the front, started for the Hero, and instantly the guas of Ail the ships thandered a ealute, This was repeated, the abips’ bands playing “God gave the Queen,” “ Bait Colum bia” and ‘Yankee Doodle,” as the Prince and bis suite sod, and the crews of the reamels in the squadron vo Each eroutly cheering a@ he went by each mm reaching the deck der royal standard was ran up to the main, ant 9 salate fired by the whole feet. The rigging ‘ ese] was (netantly mr pped of the b g, sod re ieappeared from asi | #04 bow as he entered the Dost, To several persons he Before embarking the Prince asked Governor Banks for copies of the New York papers; but,as usual, al) were wold. At balfpast four the squadron tailed, steering out of the harbor, the Hero leading, followed by the Nile, Ari- adne, Flying Fieh and the Styx, They were accompanied mehbort distance from the harbor by several sailing vee- sels and the steamer Wiston, loaded with spectators from Boston, and were saluted by Fort Preble as they passed. By six o’clock they were hull down upon the horizon, and ®t seven fishermen reported them out of sight. They ‘steered direct for England, making no stoppages. As they passed down the harbor the royal party waved their handkerchiefs to the excursion parties which escorted them. The royal equadron wil! steam only long enough to clear the land, and the remainder of the voyage will be made under sail, The Nile and Styx will leave the squadron off Halifax, The eepecial port which they will make hag not yet been decided upon, but the Admiral thought that they would land at Plymouth. The whole English Channel fleet is expected to meet them some distance outside tho barbor and receive them with royal honors. The Prince came very near meeting with an accident. The train was run so fast that the cars were sometimes lifted from the track, and the baggage car scraped against some obstacle, very nearly upsetting the entire train. The shock was distinctly felt in the Prince’scar. The Queen and party just escaped a collision in Germany a short time ago, and the Prince had almost as narrow an escape yesterday. Yesterday, before the Prince left the hotel in Boston for the care, he bad several other photographs taken. A pen and ink portrait of himself, in uniform as a Bri- tish colonel, was presented to him by David Davidson, the artist. The peculiarity of the picture is that the Prince’s figure is composed of Washington’s farewell address, dis- tinctly readable with @ microscope, and that the frame of the picture i# formed by the Prince's genesolgy fully written out. The whole afiair is im the Lord’s Prayer, written in the circumference of a eixpence, and is very ingenious. The Prince was delighted with it, and sent for the Dake of Newcastle and General Bruce, and all three examined it with the greatest interest and attention. It is to be sent on to London by the Prince's request. The Duke of Newcastle and other members of the suite expressed to Governor Banks and others the entire satis. faction of the party with their treatment in this country, and said that if the arrangements for their reception and entertainment had been entrusted entirely to them, they could not have been so admirably arranged. He also ‘said that, in spite of representations to the contrary, they | were much pleased with the manner in which their pro- gress bad been reported by the American press. The general accuracy of the reports was wonderful, con- | sidering the facilities afforded the papers, and the senti- ments expressed could not but be pleasant to the Prince and English people. The Duke of Newcastie and the whole party pronounced reporta of insulte to them in Richmond base fabrica- — tione—no such thing occurred. It was @ matter of general remark, as showing how much the Prince conformed to our habits, that at the wharf he shook bands with Mayors, Governors, and even many private citizens, while the distinguished British naval officers present were passed by with a cold, formal salute. The Prince honored the reporters who had accont- panied him throughout the tour with an especial smile | renewed hie promise to revisit this country and pass through the Southern States. Lord Lyons and the invited guests retarned by special train to Boston, and Lord Lyons immediately resumed | the republican style of life, dining at ‘able d’hole in- stead of at a private table, as during the Prince’s stay. The London Times correspondent has returned home on the Ariadne, Mr. Andrews, of the London /!lustrated News, goes on to Dwight to take sketches of the scenery, and especially for the Queen. ‘The English valets said they Were glad to go, THE CONTEST IN NEW YORK. Prospect of the Congressional Districts— Daniel 8. Dickinson on the Fusion Elec- toral Ticket—He Declares for Union, dice OUR ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE. Apany, Oct. 17, 1860. Confidence of the RepublicantThe Contest between Corning and Ulcot—The Congressional Districts Considered Doutt- ful by the Republicans—The Democratic Congressional Figures, dc. , dc. ‘The anti-republicans have not yet recovered from the eflecta of the disastrous defeat of their party in Pennsyl- vania, Their countenances are dejected and their appear- ance truly forlorn, while the republicans are full of life, fire and confidence. They consider the election of Lincoln a8 au fait accompli, and are casting about for suitable men to ill the various offices under the federal government, ‘and they do not appear to be obliged to cast very far or very often. In this Congressional! district the contest will be close between Mr. Corning, the democratic candidate, and Mr. Olcott, republican. Albany county gave something like 6,000 majority for Buchanan in 1866, and asthe democrats or anti republicans acknowledge that the result of the present contest is doubtful, there is some reagon to believe thatjthe democratic strength in the district has fallea off within the past four years, and that the tide of republican- ism, at high flood as it ig, will sweep away all opposition when the final day arrives. The republicans confidently rely upon cutting down the 5,000 democratic majority in 1856 to the little amount of five hundred, and hence do they indulge the hope that they may ultimately succeed im supplanting the veteran democrat Corning, by the youthfal republican, although an ancient democrat, Olcott. Both candidates are rich men, and neither would begrudge the trifle of $6,000 or $10,000 to be assured of success. ‘The Olcott men are putting a large amount of cash into the canvass, andas Mr. Corning is obliged to leave immedi. ately for Chicago to attend the Burch trial, which in- volves wey matters of a painful demestic nature, the de- mocrats will be lef without a leader in their grand fleld movements.
