On Tuesday morning at ten o'clock the Prince and party left Niagara Falls, under a salute from the Volunteer Artillery, and traveled by special train to Queenston Heights, distant seven miles. There they scaled the “ Mountain,” an elevation three hundred and forty-six feet above the level of the river, and approached the lofty monument under which lie the ashes of the brave General Sir Isaac Brock and his aid-decamp.

The arrival was signaled by the firing of a royal salute and hoisting the Prince of Wales standard on the flag-staff at the foot of the monument. A company of the Canadian Rifles acted as a guard of honor, and nearly a thousand people were assembled in the vicinity of the platform, built at one side of the column.

This monument has only been erected three years, and then by subscription, the original one having been blown up with gunpowder, placed there by some malicious hand.

The object of this visit was to inaugurate the monument and receive an address from the Veterans of 1812, one hundred and fifty of whom were now present, including Sir Allen McNab and Sir John Robinson, the oldest of the survivors. The address was read by the latter gentleman, to which the Prince returned a very feeling reply.

From this lofty point a magnificent view was afforded of the gorge of the Niagara, and beyond of forest and field, mountains and hills, backed, far as the eye could carry, by a wide sweep of the blue Ontario, while beneath and at the back of the village of Queenston, which has a population of five hundred, stood under the solemn cliffs a solitary tree.
