THE SALUTE—CANNONS AND BELLS.

On landing of the Vice-Regal party to- morrow morning, at eleven o'clock, a Royal salute of twenty-one guns will be fired from Fort Edward, and the church and fire bells of the city will ring out a merry chime.

HE TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION.

The torchlight procession will march be- tween ten and eleven o'clock on Friday night, and the fireworks will be set off from the firemen’s arch immediately after.

HEARTY PREPARATIONS.

To-day the whole City is full of excite- ment. Everywhere the sound of the ham- mer is heard, and busy men and women,

com the highest in the land to the hum- blest, are all fired with the enthusiasm of the day. The visit of our Governor Gen- eral at any time would call forth the loyal congratulations of our people, expressive of their attachment to eur beloved Queen, her Throne, and the free institutions under which it is our happiness to live.

But on this occasion the Governor-Gen-

eral not only represents the Crown and

Constitution, but is also a member of Her}

Majesty's illustrious family. While all nationalities will welcome the Marquis of Lorne as Governor General, it may be ex- ected that more than ordinary enthusiasm will fill the breasts of those of our fellow countrymen to whem the name of the Duke of Argyle is associated with so many in- teresting reminiscences of Scottish national- ity.

Above all it is the presence of the Queen’s daughter, H. R. H. the Princess Louise, which gives the Vice-Regal visit such im- portance,

' FIREMEN 8S ARCH,

The firemen have erected an immense triple arch on Queen Street —at its junction with Grafton street—which is a credit to the loyalty and enterprise of the Fire Com- panies of this city. It is thirty-eight feet ‘high, sixty-four feet wide, and nine feet broad. ‘This arch is built in the most sub- stantial manner, and will, on the appear- ‘ance of the Royal visitors, be manned by one hundred and fifty firemen. The roof is |formed by five stair-like elevations, which ‘are ornamented by large white scrolls, run- ‘ning the length of each elevation, and bordering on the eaves. On the apex stands a real steam fire engine, which the firemen intend to run at full blast on the approach of the Vice-Regal procession ; and from the other elevations float national colors on lofty poles. On the front of the main arch

of the buttresses are large stars beautifully executed in colors, and under these are neat blue _ shields in which may be seen emblems of various (kinds. On the side arches are the names, ‘* Lorne,” ** Louise,” while on the broad side facing east are the initials ‘* L. L.,” and on the west side, ‘‘V. R.” ‘The arch is covered with evergreens, decorated with ‘flowers and largely decked with bunting. The eaves are finished with a deep mould- ling, painted red and white, and around the four buttresses are belt cornices of beautiful design, nicely painted. The arch was de- signed by and constructed under the super- intendence of Capt. James Butcher, of the ‘Sir John A. Hook & Ladder Co.” It is pronounced by competent judges to be the best arch yet erected in the Maritime Provinces. Whether this be the case or not, itis an excellent piece of workman- ship, and no one can pass Queen street to- day without admiring its collosal and grand appearance. On _ Friday night it will be illuminated by a choice variety of col- ored lights, and a grand display of tireworks will take place from the roof. THE CITY ARCH.

This is the neatest and least expensive triple arch of the lot. It is Gothic in style, and very plain in finish, and presents a com pact and stylish appearance. The main arch is supported by two pinnacled columns, and the side arches are joined to the main arch columns and supported at the outer sides by smaller ones, The columns of the main arch are thirty-two feet high, and the rovf rises to a sharp

(THE PASSION OF THE HOUR.

The arches, the flags,—that are already being thrown out to the breeze,—the cheers that will greet the Royal party, the illumi- nations, the firemen’s torchlight procession, the voice of music and of song from the children’s stand in front of the Province Building, the demonstrations of every kind that the occasion is calling into existence, are all indicative of the feelings, the enthu- siasm, the passion of the hour, which is to make the Marquis of Lorne and the Prin- cess Louise fully cognizant of the fact that our peeple, one and all, are most hearty and loyal in their attachment to the glori- ous Constitution under which it is our hap- piness to enjoy free institutions.

THE ALL-ABSORBING DESIRE.

The all-absorbing desire of the whole people---gentle and simple—is to see the Princess, our beloved Queen’s daughter. ‘¢ The divinity which doth hedge a King,” and conventional usages, to some extent, interpose. Yet, we feel sure, in those days of liberal thought, when the ‘‘ Reign of the common people” is the all-absorbing topic, that every facility will be given to all, high and low, to see the Queen’s daugh- ter.

THE SCOTTISH GATHERING.

The grand Scottish Gathering under the auspices of the Caledonian Club of P. E. Island, promises to be a!great success on Friday. The Vice-Regal party will visit the grounds, the hour of their visit we hope to be able to announce in our columns to- morrow. Their welcome by the Highland clansmen of our Province will be right hearty «nd enthusiastic.

It is not unlikely, if consistent with the order of things, that the Club will seek to interpret their feelings by the presentation of an acdress in the Gzelic language.

point between them to a distance of thirty feet, and the roofs of the small or side arches rise in the same fashion in propor- tion. From the top of the roofs and pin- nacles are floating national flags. On the front of the main arch are the names **Lorne and Louise,” and on the rear ‘‘Mar- quis and Princess.”” While on the front and rear of the side arches is the word ‘‘Welcome.” The arch is evenly covered with evergreens, and is decorated with roses. It was built by Messrs. H. & [S. Lowe, of this city. ODDFELLOWs’ ARCH.

This arch is situated on Kent street, at its junction with Pownal street. The centre or main arch is_ thirty-six feet high by nineteen feet wide; and the

feet wide. The arches are covered with evergreens, decked with flags and decorated with roses, etc. On the east side of the roof—which is high and tapering—-is the following original couplet :—

** Oddfellowship spreads on the breadth of the breeze A welcome to Lorne and Royal Louise.” And on the west side is— **Send word, Royal Lady,

That just such another

Fond welcome awaits here—

God bless her —thy mother.” In the centre of the main arch are wreaths

transparency of the three links, in which are seen the initials ‘‘F. L. T.” On the columns which support the main arch are pinnacles from which float national flags. The side or small arches are surmounted by tents—representing the encampment branch of the order—and on each side, be- low these tents, are hung flags with the names of the different lodges inscribed on them. Altogether, the arches are emblematical and very pretty. This arch was built at the expense of the Oddfellows of this city, by Mr. Edward Stair.

THE GOVERNMENT ARCH.

The arch in frént of the Colonial Build- ing is a very neat one. It is of the Roman type—one centre and two side arches. The central one is eighteen feet wide by twenty- seven feet high, and the side arches are seven feet wide by thirteen and a half feet high. It is covered with evergreens and trimmed with roses and thistles. On the front over the main arch—on a_ white ground, for illuminating purposes—is ‘* Vic- toria Regina;’ and on therearis ‘‘Wel- come, Welcome.” On the side arches are ‘*Lorne,” “Louise.” This arch was erected by Mr. James Brown, Civil Engineer, at the expense of the Government. It reflects much credit on Mr. B’s taste and skill.

The reception tent has been erected close to the head of Pownal Wharf,—at the cost of the city,—under the supervision of Mr. Henderson, who has also to construct a suitable landing for the Vice-Regal party. The tent is built in the shape of a neat triple arch. On the front--facing the river—is ‘* Welcome to our Shores,” and on the rear is ‘‘ God Save our Noble Queen.” In the small side openings are large slabs for the use of Press reporters. A stairway leads from the centre of the tent to the landing—which breasts closely and safely against the head of the wharf. The ‘place of landing has been well selected, well ar- ranged, and is most convenient. Pownal Wharf has been put in good order, and its present appearance is creditable to the city.
