Summary

The Orange demonstration so unwisely persisted in, which prevented the landing of the Prince at Kingston, operated with an equally unfortunate result at his next place of call, Belleville, for the Orangemen, who had paraded themselves in that town while the royal steamer remained in harbor, left by railway, to the number of about two hundred, at four o'clock on the morning following her departure, for the same destination. No sooner did they arrive at Belleville, at six, than they formed in procession, arrayed in scarf and badge, and marshaled by a man in harlequin costume, with their band playing party tunes as the vanguard.

By the cheers that met them here and there, as they passed along, it was evident that popular feeling was not opposed to them, although popular ignorance may have had a good deal to do with that. They took up their quarters at a hotel in the town, out of one of the windows of which they hung their flag. Their presence, of course, created much excitement among the populace, half of whom appeared to be in favor of the Orangemen holding out, and the other half of them giving in; but the wearers of the red and yellow were iirin to their motto of “No surrender.”

Soon after nine o'clock the Mayor went on board the Kingston, to acquaint the Duke of Newcastle with the resolution of the Orangemen to join in the procession if the Prince landed, as also to allow their party-colored arch, erected in one of the streets, to remain standing.
