THE VICH-REGAL VISIT. The Progress Through New Bruns- wick.

New Brunswick papers are full of reports of the splendid progress of the Vice Regal party through that Province. In addition to the telegraphic despatches published in THE Examiner yesterday, we note : THE REPLY OF HIS EXCELLENCY

FRENCH ACADIAN PEOPLE.

Messieurs :—I need not tell you how delight- ed we are to meet the descendants of those good and brave men who gave its first name to the fair land we are now visiting. It is pleasant to see how in all matters the Glalic and English blood meet in this country, con tent and happy to aid each other in realizing the desires and hopes of the discoverers‘of this coatinent. It is seldom indeed that men’s desires and ambition find so perfeet a realiza- tion as is to be seen in this present aspect of the populations of the Dominion, and we can- not be wrong in ascribing this to the perfect freedom given to each part of the people. The rights and privileges which were so well sus- tained by arms on the part of the Canadian French are preserved to them intact and in- violate not only by the letter of treaties but also by the spirit of British liberty, and the consequent respect and sympathy shown to loyal fellow citizens, the sons of ancient rivals.

it is pleasant to remark that the memory of the gallantry of the French Acadians has been most perfectly preserved by a poem in the English tongue, We shail hope at some future day to extend our travels so as to sce your homes,and in the meantime we once more e<cpress our thanks to you for your considera- tion, courtesy, and loyalty, in coming to meet us,

TO THE

LoRNE.

At Sussex and at Hampton, on the way to St. John, there were fine demonstrations and the customary Addresses and Replies.

The arrival at St. John has already been described in these columns. The following is the

ST. JOHN CITY ADDRESS.

To His Excellency the Right Honorable Sir Joun DoveLas SUTHERLAND CAMPBELL, Marquis of Lorne, One of Her Majesty’s Most Honorable Privy Council, Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of tae Thistle, and Knight of the Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, etc., etc., etc., Governor General of Canada.

May it please Your Excellency:—We, the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonaity of the City of St. John, approach Your Excellency and your illustrious Consort, Her Royal High- ness the Princess Louise, with the loyal and enthusiastic welcome of the citizens of St. John, upon your arrival in the commercial metropolis of New Brunswick.

In this city, founded by Loyalists, who, nearly a century ago, abandoned all material possessions to preserve sacred and inviolate the obligations of allegiance, and conscien- tiously to discharge the duty of patriotism, now peopled by many descendants of those

‘Loyalists, and by fellow-citizens alike warmly

attached to British Institutions, we, repre- senting the inhabitants, and on their behalf desire, through Your Excellency, to renew to our beloved Queen the dutiful assurance of the unswerving and devoted fealty of this Municipality to her person, Crown and dig- nity.

We heartily join in the general satisfaction expressed in all parts of Canada that Her Most Gracious Majesty has been pleased to appoint asthe Viceroy in this Dominion a British statesman allied withthe Royal Family, and the descendant of an encbled and renowned line, confident that under your constitutional rule the public rights and interests will be fostere| and preserved.

We beg that Your Ex@ellency will be pleased to convey to Her Royal Highness the heartfelt expression of our loyalty and devotion, and the sincere pleasure with which we welcome a Princess of the Royal House of Britain to a home in Canada. We believe that the resi- dence of Her Royal Highness among us adds another to the strong ties of attachment that bind our people to the Mother Country.

In proffering our cordial and _ respectful homage we unite with all classes of this Do- minion in the hope that the Almighty Disposer of human events will abundantly bless Your Excellency and Her Royal High- ness in your exalted station, and preserve you in the mutual enjoyment of long continued happiness.

(signed) CuARLes R. Ray, Mayor. B. Lester Perers, Common Clerk. City of Saint John, Province of New Brunswick, the sixth day of August, A. D., 1879.

HIS EXCELLENCY’S REPLY,

To the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonality, Saint John, New Brunswick: :

Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,—The dignified and truthtul words in which you recall the trials through which many of your ancestors passed in this country, now the happy home of their descendants, remind me how strong to-day among you is the feeling of the duty of patriotism—a duty, the fulfilment of which I rejoice to think is accompanied by no burden, but brings with it the enjoyment of much political advantage. We have found with

leasure that sufficient time has been at our disposa! during this, the first year of our ar- rival in the Dominion, when there have been necessarily duties which have demanded at- tention at the capital and journeys to be undertaken to other parts—to allow us to re turn to those Maritime Provinces where we were first welcomed by a loyal people and to visit St. John, which must be regarded as the commercial capital of even a wider district than is contained in New Brunswick itself. ~

Acceyt our thanks for meetingus here,on be- half of our city, and for the general reception tenderel to us. [should, indeed, have consid- ered our first survey of our Dominion most in- complete had we been unable to stay a while among jou.

Much we have been unable to see; many places in which we should spend some days, and where we might observe mining and other industries successfully followed, we must hope to visit «nother year. In St. John we arrive at once «t one of the centres of life and activity on these eastern coasts. We observe with

(L. 8.) (Signed)

so

energy you bring to the aid of our common country, and the important place you fill in promoting the welfare of our Federation. The British people and foreign countries alike

_look upon the Dominion as our Empire's eldest

son, in whose life and character the nature which has made the mother country stronger the older it has grown is seen and recognized by all. You are entering on a glorious man- hood, which will, in future ages, stand forth in the beauty of strength and pride of freedom, to be known in history as asserting a place among the mighty of the earth.

This district is the widely different actors have played their parts, and interesting, indeed, is the development of the story of which your harbor and town have been the theatre. Two centuries ago the ad- venturer only knew this place—his company stealing along the coast in small and battered craft ; seeking a settlement, obliged to guard against the savages of the forest, yet full of visions of a great future for his new home, and endeavoring, almost in vain, to interest Europe in* bis schemes. But the years peo- pled the shores with the sturdy colonists, who pushed their way, although held down by difficulties of transport, by distance from other settlements, by wars of race and by mutual jealousies. Now we see a land whose natural loveliness and fertility is turned to the best account, connected with all the life of Europe and America by countless channels of commu- nication, and using the arts of modern civiliza- tion to make the utmost of its political and geographical position.

In expressing to you our gratitude for the welcome you have given to us, accept our best wishes for your welfare, and let us uttera present hope that the energy here exhibited, which no depression in trade can master, and which even the ruin of fire has only been able, temporarily, to affect, may receive full reward in the future prosperity of your loyal and flour- ishing city.

scene of events wherein

The Municipality of St. John also pre- sented an address. ‘The reply of His Ex- cellency challenges attention for its prac- tical common sense and its fitness to the times, as well as for the elegance of its dic- tion. His Excellency said :—

Although there may be temporary pressure, and partial failure in trade, not a year elapses that does not indicate progress made in the material welfare of the country as a whole. The Dominion is steadily and surely rising in wealth, in unity of feeling, in all that makes a nation. Our territories are enormous, and no one need travel far in any province, but he will find new clearings and fresh settlements ; while land in abundance and ot great excel- lence, as compared with much in the old country, can be had almost for the asking.

Throughout our Greater Britain, and stead- ily and surely upon these our eastern coasts, the people increase from decade to decade, notwithstanding the great attractions offered by the prairie lands of the interior. No one can look at the district you inhabit without feeling certain that this increase will continue. Impatient, restless and ignorant of his true in- terests would that man be, indeed, who, under such circumstances, would not desire to tread in the steps of his fathers, to face with British pluck and spirit, any difficulty that may arise and to rejoice that his lot has been cast in that empire which has withstood every danger, whose might has been moulded by centuries, and whose flag has never waved over any people whose character has not been enobled by the free institutions it represents.

LORNE.

THE PROCESSION THROUGH THE CITY.

The Sun, in describing the Vice-Regal progress through St. John, says :-— When the addresses had been presented and replied to by His Excellency, the party went ont through the beautiful pertico, decorated with spruce and bunting and carpeted with scarlet cloth, and offered several hundreds of ladies and young folks on the stands on each side, an excellent opportuntty of seeing the Governor-General and H. R. H. the Princess Louise. Atthe entrance they took the bar- ouches and coaches provided for them, and the procession formed and moved off in the follow- ing order .— Detachment of 8th Cavalry, preceded bya mounted ofiicer for Q. M. G.

The procession moved out of the Railway grounds, amid the salutes of the military and the cheers of

THE DENSE AND EXCITED CROWD

who*pressed to get a glimpse of the Vice- Regal party. Passing over the line of rail- way, the procession passed under the arch at this point, being again greeted by cheers from the crowd lining the street, while the people on the house-tops added to the greeting by raising their voices and waving handkerchifs and flags.

When the procession passed the corner of Union and Charlotte streets, a dense throng had assembled, many having run up from Mill street, along Union, to catch another glimpse of the Princess and Marquis, as | they passed up along Coburg street amid hearty cheers. At the corner of Coburg and Carleton streets there was a flag-staff. with flags flying, in front of Rey. Mr. De- Veber’s, with a cross-piece bearing hearty and appropriate mottoes. Then around and down Garden street, or Jetfrey’s Hill, amid continued and unabated cheering and patriotic enthusiasm; and down to the Railway Station, where the crowd was almost as large asat the arrival of the

party. Over the new iron bridge, by the}

thronged with

EXPECTANT AND CHEERING numbers of whom climbed on the large circular girders and obtained a good view from a somewhat elevated perch. Around the entrances of the bridge the crowd thickened, sung, yelled and cheered for a moment, and then passed on in a closely- packed mass, each striving to be foremost and none succeeding. In front of Messrs. Wm. Parks & Sons’ cotton factory on Wall street, a most interesting and pleasing cer- emony took place. Here the Messrs. Parks had erected a large and handsomely- trimmed and decorated stand. The front is in the form of a light triple

sh, supported by poles; at the centre this is the Provincial Coat _ of Arms, and running along the words ‘“‘New Brunswick Cétten Mills.” Under it is sus- pended the motto, ‘‘We are glad to see you,” and on the corners are the monograms “T,. L.” and “V. R.” The end facing the railway track has the Canadian arms, and ‘‘Welcome,” im white letters on red ground. The stand was filled with eperatives of the Cotton Mill and invited guests, and as the ‘barouche containing the Princess and His {Excellency came opposite, itstopped, The operatives then joined in singing the National Anthem, which was rendered in a ‘grand ringing unison of veices and with the grandest and most touching effect, and the. Princess was visiby affected. When the singing was ended, the procession moved amid three rousing British cheers. The procession then wound up past St. Paul’s (Valley) Church and up through the arch in front of Hon. Mr. Burpee’s. This, the Mount PleAsant arch, represented the partially ruined entrance to an ancient feudal castle, the top of one of the towers being demolished and covered with moss. It was designed by I. Allen Jack, Esq., and presents a pleasing appearance. It isa triple arch, nicely trimmed with spruce on the side next to Reed’s castle. On the main arch is Salxe Nido Covorum, or ‘‘Wel- come to the Nest of the Crows,” and on the other side are two shields with the initials “T,, L.” On the partially ruined tower is a circle enclosed ‘‘V. R..” and on the other tower is a white banner with a St. George’s cross, and from tower to tower stretches a string of flays.

The procession moved on and turned into Mount Pleasant avenue, and went along to- ward the Castle. From the westerley end of the avenue, a long distance up, the sides were lined by the volunteer corps, which as the procession moved on, marched up and lined the road from the gate to the Castle grounds. The Band of the 62nd Battalion struck up as the procession enter- ed, and the crowd which had pressed up as closely as the military would allow, cheer- ed loudly and furiously, as if working off their surplus enthusiasm. On reaching the door of the Castle the Princess alighted and entered the building. The Marquis remained outside for awhile and engaged in conversation with members of the Goyern- ment and others. After dressing, the vol- unteer corps fermed and marched away for the Barrack Square, headed by the mounted band of the 8th Cavalry, and accompanied

THE ILLUMINATION. The Telegraph of yesterday says: The spectacle presented by the streets last even- ing was one of the finest ever seen in St. John. As a pageant, the demonstration | was a great success ; as an outburst of loyal;

have satisfied the most exacting. The uni- versality with which the people joined in decorating and illuminating, the cheerful ness with which the firemen and militia re- sponded to the call for their services, and the manner in which the people turned out en masse to see the sights and share in the holiday, showed that it was really the welcome of the people to the representative of the Sovereign and the daughter of the Queen. Windows gorgeous with transparencies, flags and streamers floating in the breeze from every window, Chinese lanterns swinging and dancing,

the rocket’s red glare” and Indian crackers bursting in the air, and Roman candles making fiery arches across the streets, were among the striking features of the display. The fog that infested the day had folded its tent like the Arabs .and as silently stolen away, and the evening was clear and cool. At 9.30 the moon rese over the scene, and the earth and sky were filled with beauty. The procession was a grand parade of torch-bearers. The engines, in their garments of flowers and evergreens, were things of beauty. The music mingled with the hum of voices from the moving masses of humanity, and the flickering flame ef the torches had a glow-worm soft- ness under the glare of the general illum- ination.

PREPARATIONS IN CHARLOTTETOWN.

Mr. Brown, the contractor, has com- menced work on the arch and grand stand for children, opposite the Province Build- ing. Judging by the vigor with which the work is being prosecuted, we think that it is in excellent hands. Carrary James M. Burcuer is superin- tending the erection of the Firemen’s arch at Dr. Dodd’s corner ; and it will, we have no doubt, be the handsomest one in the city, when the Governor General and the Princess arrive. Mr. Newson is erecting a pavilion on the grounds at the Sea-Side for the recep- tion of the Vice-Regal Party.
