VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO

BUNKER HILL.

On Friday afternoon last, his Royal Highness and his
suite, after making their visit to Harvard College, &c.,
left Auburn and drove directly to Charlestown, at the
rate of fourteen miles an hour, through Somerville and
over old Bunker-hill, from the summit of which they
enjoyed a fine view of Boston and its neighbourhood, to
Monument-square. They were accompanied by his
Honour Mayor Lincoln and the Committee of the
' city of Boston—the Hon. Edward Everett, Hon. R.
C. Winthrop, and George Ticknor, Esq. At the front
entrance his Royal Highness was received by the
Hon. G. Washington Warren, President of the Bunker-
hill Monument Association, who conducted his High-
ness and suite to the Statue-room. Hon. Richard
Frothingham, junr., and others of the directors of
the association, were present, and were respectively
presented to the Prince, to Lord Lyons, to the Duke
of Newcastle and others, by President Warren.
The Prince registered his name in the book for visitors,
as did also the other members of his party. The
party then walked to the entrance of the monument,
and examined the interior, looking up the cone to the
top, and then the President explained to the Prince the
history of the original Masonic Monument, a copy of
which in marble stands in the centre of the obelisk, and
turning to the Duke of Newcastle, who is Provincial
Grand Master of Freemasons, Mr. Warren observed,
" This may perhaps be specially interesting tb your Grace,
as it relates to Masonry." The Prince, not understanding
what was said, desired the remark to be repeated, which
being done, the Prince said with a sihile, " Oh, yes, the
Duke is a Freemason." He then passed round the Monu-
ment within the enclosure, observed the English and
American flags at the top, and inquired the height of the
structure. He then made a pleasant remark to President
Warren as to the object of erecting the monument, to
which the President made an appropriate reply. The
Prince very cordially observed, "It is time these old
matters were forgotten." Before the party left the
grounds President Warren stated to the Duke of New-
castle that he had caused three copies of the " Inaugu-
ration of the Statute of Warren" to be suitably bound,
one copy'of which was intended for the Prince, one for
Lord Lyons, and one for his Grace, as mementoes of the
visit to Bunker Hill, and the Duke replied that he
would be happy to receive and dispose of them as
desired.
The visit to Bunker Hill, like the visit to the tomb
of Washington, will exemplify to the country the cor-
dial feeling of amity which happily exists between the
governments and people of. our mother country and our
own. Esto perpetua.—New York. Herald.

MR. PATRICK O'DOWD'S ODE TO •
THE PRINCE.
O mighty Prince ! it's no oflince,
Your worship, that I mane ye,
While I confiss 'twas as ra-al bliss
A moment to have sane ye !
That you should see the likes o' me
The while I stud adjacent,
I don't suppose, although me clothes
Was mighty clane and dacent.
But my troth, and Bible-oath !
Wid all my Irish shyness,
I've passed the word wid many a lord
Much taller than your Highness !
Ah! well—bedad, no doubt ye had,
In token of allagiance,
As good a cup as ye could sup
Among them black Canajans
But wha' d'ye think of Christian dhrink,
Now tell me that, me tulip !
When through a straw your Highness saw
The flavor of a julep?
And what is more, we've got galore,
Such oysters--none can bate 'em;
Ye'll bliss the day ye crossed the say,
Wben ye sit down to ate 'em.
There's craythers rare and mighty quare
In Barnum's great Muzaum,
By land and wather, and for a qua'ther
Your Highness may survey 'em.
Thim haythen chaps, the nayger Japs,
Wid all their curst expinses,
Just tuk their fill, and left a bill
At which the paple winces.
But thin, no doubt, ye'll ride about
Wid Boole and all the Aldermen ;
They've little sinse, but for expinse
There's not a set of boulder men.
•Fernandy Wud has decent blood,
And illigant morality ;
And ye may mitre our mighty Mayor
Will show his horse pitality.
The soldiers all are at his call,
Wid captains to parade 'ern;
And at the laste, ye'll get a taste
Of dimmocratic fraydan !
But plase to note, ye'er not to vote---
A privilege, by jabers,
Ye could'nt hope, were ye the Pope.
Until ye've got the papers!!
Well, mighty Prince, accept these hints ;
Most frayly I indite 'em ;
'Tis luck indeed, if ye can racl,!,
As aisy as I can write 'em!
And when the throne is all ye'r own,
At which ye're daily steerm',
With all the care that ye can spare,
Rernemls3r poor ould Erin!

MR. LINDSAY, M.P., AT THE WEST.
We had a call at our editorial rooms yesterday from
Hon. Wm. S. Lindsay. He has already visited Boston,
New York, the lake cities, &c., and been most favour-
ably received. He visited our Merchants' Exchange
rooms yesterday, and was introduced by its officers to
the leading gentlemen of the trade ; and during their
conversations laid before them the objects of his visit,
viz :—The liability of shipowners—the rule of the road
at sea—collisions—signal lights—the application of the
British Foreign Deserters' act to American vessels—
offences committed on the high seas—the settlement of
disputes relative to wages—the establishment of ship-
Ding offices—the rights of belligerents—the restriction
Or
...British built vessels—the coasting trade, &c. Mr.
Lindsay's object is to throw down all unnecessary bar-
riers (he does not include revenue duties in his pro-
gramme) bei;veen the commerce of Great Britain and
that of the ITnitOd. States, and secure the adoption by
both countries of a wstem of international marine law
which shall be simPic,-, adapted to the necessities of
trade, and just and fair :0 his countrymen and ours.
He desires to bring the lavv`.s of the two countries in
such harmony that there would be no cause nor fear of
war, or even rumours of war, w::%ich latter, he said,
worked in many instances almost as disastrous as war
itself. He is particularly pleased with and astonished
at the greatness of the cities of the West, the magnitude
of their commerce, and the handsome, large, ord sub-
stantial character of their buildings. He leaves' this
morning for the, East. The honourable gentlemen to
whom he was introduced here received him favourably,
and by his conversation with those business men he
may help to lay the groundwork for legislation hereafter
that is much wanted between these great commercial
Countries.—St. Louis _Democrat, Oct. 22.

SHIPWRECK AND THREE LIVES LOST.
BOSTON, Oct. 26, 1860.—The British schooner Hum-
ming Bird, Capt. Callahan, from Labrador for Halifax,
was wrecked on the 7th inst. off Anticosta. The cap-
tain, steward, and one seaman were drowned ; the
others, four in number, were saved—two on a raft, and
two were picked from the wreck, having been six days
without food or drink.

COTTON.
(Prom TV. P. Wright's Circular.)
NEW YORK, Tuesday, Oct. 30, 1860.
The excitement mentioned in our last circular as pre-
vailing in all the cotton markets in this country, has in
some measure subsided, but prices are fully maintained.
In this market there has been a fair demand for cot-
ton on the spot, and as our stock is considerably reduced,
holders have been enabled to obtain full prices, particu-
larly on the qualities below Middling. The sales for
the week have amounted to 12,000 bales. The clearances
for same time have been as follows : for Liverpool, 2,821
bales ; Antwerp, 321 ; Bremen, 236. Total, 3,378.
The inquiry for transit cotton has been more limited,
without change in price. The sales do not exceed 4,000
bales for the week, at the following quotations. New
Orleans, with freight at ad. ; Low Middling lle. ;
dling, 111 to 113 c.; Strict Middling 12c. Mobile, le. to
Ic. below these figures. There is yet but little Atlantic,
cotton on sale in transit.
By telegraph the following has been received :
