Expected Visit Of The Prince Of Wales To Glasgow.
EXPECTED VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO GLASGOW .
f he following correspondence between the Lord Provost d the Prince of Wales regarding the visit of His Royal Hichness to Glasgow was read by the Lord Provost at C . m _ . etinf ofthe Glasgow Police Board .
At the first meeting ol the magistrates after the Lord Provost ' s return from America it was arranged that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales should be asked to honour the city by laying the foundation-stone of the new o ost Office . The Lord Provost accordingly addressed to General Sir W . Knollys the following letter : — " City Chambers , " Glasgow , loth August , 1876 . ••Lieutenant-General Sir Wm . Knollys , K . C . B .,
Marl" borough House , London . « Sir , —The Government have finally approved of the plans of a new Post Office for Glasgow , and the requisite funds have been voted for its erection . The building , it is believed , will be one worthy of the city , and the arrangements are so far in progress that the foundationstone may be laid in a few weeks . It has occurred to my
colleagues in the magistracy and myself , that if His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is to be in Scotland during the autumn , and would be graciously pleased , cither in going to or returning from the Highlands , to lay the foundation-stone , he would put the community under great obligation , and , if possible , intensify the feeling of loyalty
towards her Majesty and to the Royal family . I may be permitted to say that I am emboldened to address you on this subject , and to beg the favour of your bringing the matter under the notice of His Royal Highness , by the consideration that one of the last , if not the latest official act of his illustrious father , the Prince Consort , was to lay the foundation stone of the Post Office in Edinburgh . That
city is no doubt the political capital of Scotland , but I venture to hope that the claims of Glasgow , in respect of population , enterprise , and commercial and manufacturing position , are sufficiently known to His Royal Highness to induce him to give to a request on behalf of its citizens the most favourable consideration that his other engagements will admit of . It will afford the entire community very [ high
gratification to see His Royal Highness after his return from his auspicious visit to India , and I need scarcely say that the gratification will be very greatly enhanced if Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales shall be graciously pleased to accompany the Prince on the occasion . May 1 beg that you will do my brother magistrates and myself the favour of taking advantage of an early oppertunity
of bringing the matter under the notice of His Royal Highness , and letting me know the result . —I have the honour to be , Sir , your most obedient servant . ( Signed ) "JAS . BAIN , Lord Provost . " To that communication the Lord Provost has received the following reply , which was submitted to the magistrates at their meeting : —
" Marlborough House , "Pall Mall , S . W ., August 16 , 1876 . " My Lord Provost , —I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10 th inst ., which I have submitted to the Prince of Wales , and received His Royal Highness ' s directions to inform you that it will afford His Royal Highness great satisfaction to be present at the
ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new proposed Post Office at Glasgow . The Prince ' s present engagements in the North render it impossible at present for His Royal Hig hness to say when he shall be able to attend to perform the prescribed duties on such an occasion , but it will probably be towards the end of the first fortnight in October . —I have the honour to remain , my Lord
Provost , very faithfully yours . ( Signed ) " . W . KNOLLYS . " The Lord Provost of Glasgow . " This announcement , we feel assured , will be received with the greatest possible gratification by our readers . It is to be hoped that the Princess of Wales may be able to accompany her husband on this occasion , and to receive with him a right Royal welcome .

Light.
LIGHT .
How necessary is light in our earthly architecture . How much effect and beauty depend on the modulations , as I may call them , of natural light , or the skilful arrangements of artificial light . But in that heavenly architecture there shall be perfect light , the lustrous yet undazzling —the continual , yet unwearying light of God ' s presence .
The effort of all good people on earth is to bring earth nearer to Heaven , and to reflect Heaven ' s light on earth . As God said , " Let there be light , and there was light , " so it is ours , my brethren , as good men and Masons , to say and to act , " Let there be light , " that God ' s light may shine forth upon earth , and be kindled here , to be intensified
and perfected there . To know God in His word and in His works , is to walk in the light ; to help others to do this is to be spreading the true light ; to educate the poor and ignorant , to relieve the distressed , and to have large and sympathetic thonghts towards all men , this is to lift the dark clouds of ignorance , prejudice , and meanness , and to be preparing the light of Heaven .
" There no clouds nor passing vapour , Dim the brightness of the air ; Endless noonday , glorious noonday , From the sun of suns is there . " REV . A . H . ETT \
THE MOSELLE . —Treves is , perhaps , the most interesting town in Germany . It has old he-uses enough , though not so many as Nuremberg , or Augsburg , or Hanover . You may live in that fine old inn , comfortable withal , the Rothe Haus , once the old town hall , and see opposite to you St Mary ' s Church , an exquisite bit of Gothic , somewhat- dwarfed bv the hu _ 7 e mass of the sternlv
Romanesque cathedral . But the chief glory of Treves is its Roman remains , more perfect and more numerous than those of any other Transalpine town , Orange only excepted . Then its library is full of rare editions , and has ( what is a wonder in Germany ) most courteous and patient gentlemen for librarian and sub-librarian . Moreover , its people have a genial cheeriness of face and
manner which may be due to the Gallic mixture ( for the Treviri were as much Gauls as the people of Rheims , with whom they are always classed by Latin writers ) , but which , at any rate , one usually looks for in vain in more Northern Germany . But Treves just now is hard to get out of . Yon can get into it easily enough , either by way nf Luxembourg or from Colocne directbv a line which
runs through the grandest part ofthe Upper Eifel . Once there , however , you will be told you must stay unless you retrace your steps , or put up with German post-wagons ( often starting at unearthly hours , and by day fearfully hot ) , or hire a carriage as far down the Moselle as Cochen , between which place and Coblentz the little local steamer still plies . Our advice is to do neither ; your drive down
as fai as Alf wonld be a hot and uninteresting one , and from Cochen downwards you will . have plenty of opportunity of judging whether the Moselle is realy finer than the Rhine or not . Better put up with the inevitable alteration in your plans ; or , rather ( after this warning ) , shape your plans on the supposition that the Moselle water , beinir now zeu klein . is likelv so to continue for the next
six weeks at least . Determine , therefore , to console yourselves by getting a good peep at the Upper Eifel . If you have already seen Gerolstein Castle ( no connexion with the Grand Duchess—she hails , we suppose , from the place of the same name in the Black Forest ) from the line from Cologne , take your ticket only from Tieves to Kyllburg . Thence make vour wav to Oherkail—a burvinir nla _ -i > ol
one or two grand old families ; thence to Manderscheid , where are two castles close together , with a legend , of course , about a quarrel between two brothers . On your way thither you will have climbed the Mosenburg , a liuge extinct volcano , with four craters—one still a maar or tarn . You will , moreover , be within easy reach of four or five more of the larr / est and best of the Eifel maars fextinrt
craters full of water ) , including the Pulvermaar , so beautifully embosomed in beech woods . Thence walk or drive down to lovely Bertrich—a real German bathing place , almost unvisited by the Britisher . Here trace , at the " Cheesecellar , " a curious sort of diminutive Fintral ' s
Cave , the end cf a lava current ; and then go on your way rejoicing to Alf . If the drive from thence to Cochen , through old villages and over glorious hills , does not please you , you must , indeed , be hard to satisfy . At Cochen ( as we said ) you will still find a Coblentz boat . — " Graphic . "
