VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO
AMERICA.

The following correspondence between Mr. President
BUCII•11111 and Queen ictoria, in reference to the visit
of the Prince of Wales, has been published in the New
York papers :
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT TO THE QUEEN.
"To tier Majesty Queen Victoria,—

_
" I have learnt from the public journals that the
Prince of Wales is about to visit Her Majesty's North
American dominions. Should it be the intention of
lib Royal Highness to extend his visit to the United
States, I need nut say liosr happy I should be to give
him a cordial welcome to Wadiington.
" You may be well assured that everywhere
in this country he will be greeted by the
American people in such • manner ascannot fail to prove
gratifying to your Majesty. In this they will manifest
their deep sense of your domestic virtues, as well
as their conviction of your merits as a wise, patriotic,
and constitutional sovereign.

" Your Majesty's most obedient servant.
"JAMES BUCHANAN.
" Washington, June 4, 1860."
Tug QUZIKN'eII &OLT.
" Buckingham Palate, June 22.
"My good Friend,—l have been much gratified with
the feelings which prompted you to write to Inc. invi-
Cali the Prince of Wales to come to Washing-
ton. Ile inteuds to return from Canada through the
United States, and it will give him great pleasure to
have on opportunity of testifying to you in person that
these feelings are fully reciprucatesl by him. Ile will
thus be able at the same time to mark the respect which
lie entertains for the Chief Magistrate of • great and
friendly I,tate and kindred nation.
"The Prince of Wales will drop all Royal State on
leaving my doumii,im,mom. and travel under the name of
Lord Renfrew, as he has dune wilco travelling on the
Continent of Europe.
" The Prince Consort wishes to be kindly remembered
to you.
"I remain ever, your good friend,
" VICTORIA R."

The MoWren, oa:rite reporta that the preparations
for the royal banquet were proceeding with a great iltsd
of energy ; and the Ottawa Citizen states that the luur
borers propose to tuna 10U canoes, each crew in tunform,
and banners dying at the sterns. The largest canoe
will be for the Prince, and thus escorted they will convey
him the whole length of Lake Duchenne and back again.

"Lure well alone.""Wø don't get tea co good u
this in England," said a British resident in China, whilst
minitiing the pure infusion in a Mandarin's verandah.
" No," replied the Grandee, " eilillsllloll send sorts
mule kilts to look, than Brush Merchant much
pleased." Now this, though a fact, is not all ; the
practice of colouring the surface of tea for English sup-
pie is resorted to, mainly to enable the Chinese tea-men
arid others to increase their profits, for the colouring
miwders occasion the brown flavourless leaves to look
him the good, and mix off at a full price without detec-
tion. Iforniman and Co., London, knowing that the
British consumers would prefer tea perfectly pure, have
lung imported it without pOlCtiered colour Oil the teal,
and continue, enoouraged by the large demand, to sup-
ply it secured in packets. For list of Horn inu's agents
who sell their pure its in this locality, see adrert.imduent
in this day's paper.
