• Toronto, Sept, 9th, 1870.
The preparationefor the first public re-
ception of the Marquis Ot 'Lorne and the
Ptiticese Louise, in Ontario, was . begun
some weeks ago in this piece, and was
made on an extetaiee and magnificent
soIe Friday, the day•on•whieh they et --
rived, was fine and an immeinie crowd
gathered to witneee the reception, but

were taken advantage of foe,that
EeEPTIOIT )3Y THE SOH001, CHILOIY,
The most prominent feature in the pro-
gramme was the gathering of all the -school
children on .platforms breded for the -occa-
sion On Lorne Street, close to the railroad.
So aiion as the couple dieembarked the
childeen broke out in a song of welconie
that had been composed for the occasion.
The voices of 6,000 children in concert was
trfily greed and pleasing, bla unfortuna-
tely the affair was somewhat marred by the
occasional firing of cannon Immediately
followed the presentation of bouquets and
the time of welcome to the Princess by
four youug girls, and then the party took
their seats in the carriage. Diving all this
time the police and a large body of soldiers
had been etigaged in keeping open a pas-
sage with mat difficulty, aa the orowd was
immense. The procession was then start-
ed, and as it moved through the throng all
eyes wereAtretchedepeneto_eatch it view

The' Marquis and Piineess appeared to
take things in e very easy and natural
manner; the formeislowlyand continuous-
ly raising.his hat, and the, lattee nodding
to. the right and left very gracefully as
they proceedecleilopg, in response to the
cheerihg of the crowd on either hand. '
• • • A GRAND PROCESSION: :,
The procession was beautiful, especially
the' fire engines, hose reels; hook and Waste
waggons, &c., ell adorned with wreaths of
flowers aud flags. , The fiternen, also were
very Attractive. 'The HorticulturalGar.
den was the objective point of the procession,
where the addresses were to be presented;
and tb e•Princess was to plant a .tree ;cam-.
memorative of the occasion. • As soon as
these ceremonies, wet* over the procession
returned, and wended its way to the Lieut.
Governor's residencet where the. Marquts

THE ILDUMINA

In the eveeing, tho'crowds began wend-
ing their way..lowa. it Yong° • and King
streets, where the principal illumination
displays were made. They. consisted of
the word " Welcome,i' " and ,L." Stare
And other cleviees pi jets and an nn
.manse number of colored gla'sit globes and
Chinese lanterns: Throughout the city,
the best of the resideriees bad theie.gasaliere
and jets burning,and their blinds draten,en-
abling outeiderato Vie* the interior. The
remark was repeatedly made that the
owners of the eorgeoesly furnished estalf-
lishinents must be very wealthy.
.' The crowds on the principal street's were
vety dense and it ie a great 'wonder that

Although the exhibition is -only just
open, and there are yet teary thiugs to be
broug,ht on the ground, it is it great mid,

dia, and in a few years, after the trees and
plantesgrow, and all the improvements are
finished, it will be the most magnifieent
ancl,perfeet exhibition grounds in the Do-
minion, and the locetion crtnnot be sur-
passed. The absence, yet, of nearly all the
egricultural and animal display is fully
reelieed ; bet the indoor show of goecle,
machinery, 8se,,,is good. Tho. Glass lien

ARONTO AS A CITY
Toronto ia rapidly becoming espial in
architectural beauty, mercantile business,
the ntimbet and splendor of its churches
and other public buildings, tts gerdens,
lawns and parks, to any city on the con-
tinent, and there are not wanting evidences
toeprove that it will soon surpass Montreal
in population, wealth and business. This
year all kinds of produce itt remarkably
cheap, and many who brought fruit and
othetegarden productions to its market
will return with a loss on the transaction.
This is, no doubt, owing to the economy
that is being practiced by a great many of
its population, who are clegying, themsel-
ves of everything but.'essential requisites.
Wages are low, ranging from seventy-tive
:cents to a dollite a day for 'laboring men,,
and from $1.25 to $1.50 for mechanics.
Many are leaving for.the west, and empty
houses can be seen in every street; but
this we do not think will continuo very
long, as the businees 1EUtit be done for the
country, and here is tho place td do it.
