4th November.
Prixce Cuvy, the younger brother of the Emperor of China, has returned. The men-of-war in port and the China Merchants' steamers were dressed with flags of many colours; itis true that the men-of-war were dressed in honour of the birthday of the Emperor of Japan, but that isa detail, It was known early in the moroing that the Bayern, in which the Prince travelled from Genoa, was at Woosung, and it was known that. the returning envoy would land at about eleven. The weather was delightful, fine and mild, and a number of people on their way to Church stayed on the Bund lawns to. see His Imperial Highness land, and upshot of him, if possible, Tt was hoped that he would fand on Jonr Bund, bat the Chinese onthe vies had arranged what he sheld come ashore at Kinleeyuen. her were large crowds of expectant foreigners and Chinese on the Band. asa China Merchants' steamer, gay with flags and with the dragon banner at the fore, passed slowly up the river, but it was a disappointment, for the Prince was not there. Then two tenders came up, the Victoria and the Bremen, crowded with passengers, but the Prince was not among them, and the crowds dispersed, their hopes unfulfilled. At last came the revenue cruiser Kaipan, white herself, and gaily bedecked with bunting, with a large dragon flag ay the fore, and passed up to the farthest eud of the Kinleeyuen wharves.

Prince Chun, very simply attired, his yellow jacket alone marking his high rank, looking very when he passed through Shangh the summer, his intelligent young face breaking out into pleasant smiles as he bowed to right and left, returning the greetings of the bystanders, got into his carriage, with the two horses in yellow harness, and proceeded slowly down the Bunds, followed by ELE. Chang Yen-mao, HE. Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, K.c.Mc., and a few other members of his suite, Owing ty the uncertainty about his arrival, there was some little confusion on the French Bund where the crowd got out of hand and closed somewhat rodely round his carriage; but-order was restored as soon as he reached the English Bund, where he was preceded by a number of Chinese troops and escorted by six mounted Sikhs with their lances; and so he passed to his temporary quarters at the Taotai's Bureau' on the Bubbling Well Road.
