THE DAILY BRITISH KINGSTON EPISOD refuse landing alter his request was treated in such, a manner and the hingston priceeded on lier way at 3 p.m., Sepl. Sts, not, however, before addresses were presented on board from the magistrates of the united counties of Frontenac, Lennox and 'Ad- dington and the moderator of the Church of Scotland. To the former and to the sherifi of the united coun tiz¢ his royal highness expressed his extremq regret at the cifcumstances which had transpired to debar his landing, but doubted not the loyal | of the parties. . With the greatest vegret the loyal inhabitants of Kingston viewed the steamer's departure and the city that should have beer all gaiety was turn-! ud, in a few minutes, into woe and discontent. 'his unfortunate event drew forth the following correspondence. The first letter is from the Puke of Newcastle, written on boatd the Kingston prior to her departure for Belleville : "Off Kingston, Sept. 5th, 1860--Sir, It ie with tue utmost regret! that 1 'pow find mygelf compelled to take the extreme vagrse contemplated as pos- sible in my letter to dir E.

This is a conclusive answer, if 1 ask-| n went It is the fact that both its soa and germicidal properties wor toward the same identical end that makes it so effective.

His royal highness will continue on the route which has been prepared for him; but in any places where similar {demonstrations are adhered to a sim- lilar course to that persued at Kings- {ton will be taken. 1 cannot conclude {this letter without an expression of t and Newest regret that corporation did not ac + WONG Handsom of ! ------ 1 made them, | through you, present their ad- | dress on board the steamer. an offer | readily accepted by the moderator and | synod of the corporation were influ-{ enced by sympathy with the conduct | of the Urangemen; but | iar such a | construction is too likely tw be put | upon their decisiog. i "1 am, sir, : "Your very obedient servant, | "NEWCASTLE?" | "To the worshipful mayor of hings i ton." : ¢ The mayor made the following ply: *The City 11th, 1860 : .

"There appears, however, to be a great similarity between the cotrse adopted by the council of the count ies! of Frontenac, Lennox and Adding to, and that of the city council, and this' 1s natural, as in both cases the addresses welcoming his roval high- ness to Kingston would have been inuppropriate and might as well have beer presented at St. James' as th: hosom of Lake Ontario. "The-eouncil, without justifving the cf courtesy exhibited: hy tne believe that thes were actuated by an earnest desire to on {do the prince honor; and that the dis appointment is all the keener to them because their efforts have been misun derstood, and the display of the emb- lems, which they conceive to be typic- al of their loyalty to the throne and their attachment to the Protestant faith, made a reproach to them.
