C. V. CREAGH, (Extra A.D.C.), and Lieutenant
R. C. C. Cox, 27th Regiment, A.D.C.
The guests being assembled in the drawing-
room, His Royal Highness entered at 1.15 P.M., wearing the Grand Cross, Ribbon, and Star of
the Black Eagle of Prussia. He was accompanied
by Baron von SECKENDORFF and Captain MCLEAN,
At the same moment the Royal Standard of Prussia was hoisted over Government House,
and a Royal Salute was fired from the shore
battery by the Royal Artillery and from the ships
in harbour, the German men-of-war Prinz Adal-
bert and Luise, and Her Majesty's ships Victor Emanuel, Comus, and Encounter.
The guests
having been presented to the Prince, His Royal
Highness gave his arm to Lady HENNESSY, the
Governor following with Lady SMALE and the
whole of the guests filed into the dining-room.
During the banquet the Band of the 27th Innis-
killings played a selection of music; first German,
with an intermixture of the popular Suabian
melodies of the ancestral home of the Hohen- zollerns, followed by some Scotch and Irish National airs. At the close of the entertainment,
His Royal Highness rose and proposed in a clear
and ringing voice, "Her Majesty the Queen of
Great Britain and Ireland," the Band playing
"God save the Queen." Immediately after the Governor proposed "His Majesty the Emperor
of Germany," whereupon the Band played the
national anthem of Germany. The Prince then rose, and all present proceeded to the drawing-
room,
where those assembled for the “At Home "
were presented to His Royal Highness. The
presentation lasted till nearly three P.M., when
the Governor conducted the Prince to that part of the room where the picture of the Prince Consort was to be unveiled.
His EXCELLENCY then, addressing the Prince, spoke as follows:-May it please Your Royal Highness: Ladies, and Gentlemen,-In this eastern limit of Queen VICTORIA's dominions, I am about to unveil the portrait of the greatest. Statesman-Prince of our age.
There is some-
thing not inappropriate in doing so in the pre- sence of his grandson and within sight of the shores of China. The laws and literature of the venerable Empire, whose mountains we be- hold from this house, inculcate filial reverence
and domestic affection. I well remember that in the House of Commons Mr. DISRAELI, in sup- porting a vote of condolence on the death of the

孫經要肩臣
Prince Consort, said that the Prince had dis-
孫衆日善
charged the highest public duties under the most
difficult circumstances, and that he had elevated
even the Throne of England by his domestic life. Next to THE QUEEN herself, who was it that shared most in the happiness and in the cares of that domestic life? THE PRINCESS ROYAL OF GREAT
BRITAIN AND IRELAND AND CROWN PRINCESS OF
PRUSSIA. (Applause.) And hence it is, Sir, illustrious Mother is enshrined in the your hearts of the people of England.-(Renewed applause.) Another British statesman of great
experience, Lord GRANVILLE, has recorded the fact, that, in all his life, whether official or pri- vate, he never met with any person, in any
class of society, who possessed a clearer understanding and whose intellectual faculties had been more highly cultivated, than the Prince Consort, no one from whom personally he had derived so much instruction in the most useful branches of statesmanship. Remembering what Lord GRANVILLE said, and reading now the last vo- lume of the Prince Consort's life, we feel that, when Mr. DISRAELI spoke of the Prince dis- charging the highest duties under the most difficult circumstances, we may add with truth that he did so with complete success.--(Applause.) We now know that in the long roll of English Sovereigns we never had a King who could rival Prince ALBERT in all that is truly Royal in cha-
racter and conduct.--(Applause.) Some of those
who are present will no doubt remember that the Chinese Classics know no higher social duty
than that of reverence for ancestors, and that the descendant, no matter how remote, who takes a leading part in the solemn hornage at the ances- tral shrine is named in that famous Book of
Odes, composed three thousand years ago, filial grandson." Here, in this youthful Prince,
in whose presence I now unveil this portrait, we have a living illustration of what those ancient
pages teach. You, Sir, Prince HEINRICH, are "the filial grandson."-(Applause.)
His Excellency then unveiled the picture.
Amid the applause of the assembly, THE PRINCE stepped forward, and, grasping the Governor's hand, said:---I thank you, Sir, most warmly, for the way in which you have spoken of my beloved grandfather. Your words have touched me deeply. I shall never forget having assisted at
this ceremony.
His Royal Highness then bowed to the assem- bled guests, and, accompanied by the Governor,
Baron von SECKENDORFF and Captain MCLEAN,
left the room, and shortly afterwards started for
Canton.
