, The New York Herald of the 14th devotes a leader on
' the subject of the Prinee's visit, and says: "The approaching
visit of the Prince of Wales to our city is occupying more of
the serious attention of the public than any similar event
within our recollection. The strongest anxiety is =un-
tested lest by any unhappy accident he should fall into the
hands of the Cogs and Magose who did the honoum of the
metropolis to the Japanese. The matter, however, should
be eutrusted to the management of a committee of gentle-
men in whom the public have confidence. otherwise it mss t
degenerate into another such scene of rowdyism and -
rity as the Japanese ball presented. If the suggestion
taken up in time, and acted upon, we believe that an enter-
tainment can be got up which will rival in n;aguificeece and
effect any of the costly banquets which the imperial cities
of Europeareinthe habit of offering to their royal visitors.'
