of the affair disoerdsd the eneuphoeions name of Harm

Long busts the Prices', departure for the ball, his betel

aosemblere of citizens. Now and then they were "sold "
false reporta of the departure of the Prince, but the
chagrin aid disappointment were transformed into good
' humour. Talking about "crowds of . people" briop the
application el the term to the Cincinnati Opera-house.
Long before the Prince made his appearance every avenue
leading to it was filled with humanity. After many cheers
zed mistakes on the part of the crowd, the Prince at lan
arrived, precisely at 10 o'clock. The ball committee held a
brief conference with him in regard to partners, and the
whole y were then takes into a private box. He wee
in eveasing drew, with white neckcloth, as were all
flier site. In the ilsat dames Lord Hinehintethe danced the
arse. About one thousand richly dressed persons were pee-
ned. The ballroom was drildagly beautiful ; the exten-
sion stage was arranged with colonade scenery in the hack-
ground, and the frost of the Ipsequette was richly ores- •
method with evergreens end natural towers. The seats in
the parquette were thenpied by the crew de Is crhee
ofancianati society. After a few momenta delay the
bell was commenced with the old fashioned promenade.
The Prince then opened the ball, the royal party sail ethers
dancing upon the stage, • few others cm the thequette. The
lint dance was the Jubilee quadrille, the Prince having for
his partner Mrs. Colonel Pike, wife of one of the committee,

sot, be distinctly heard, the Prince was very much bewil-
dered and somewhat amused by the deficiency to whisk we'
have alluded. At first his Rend Highness entered into the
=N of the affair rather slowly and formally, bet by
beanie quite animated. The Prince took • partner
for a waltz, but discovering that the lady could not width be
rsfuaed to take smother portlier, and waited for the next quad-
rille. The programme was given to the Prince for a selection
of dances, and be adhered strictly to quadrilles, with the ex-
ception of the last. The Prince, though apparently very much
einbarraned at times, chatted with his partners, led them to
their guardians, and promenaded around the room, to the
intense satisfaction of all. The Prince also made several
mistakes, not being au fad in American style ; but he soon
recovered himself, and enioyed himself in his usual style.
There w-ia no supper provided, and the Royal party left at
half-past 12 o'clock.
This morning the Prince and suite visited St. John's
church. There was a large crowd of spectators at the hotel
and in the vicinity of the church. The Prince entered the
side door to avoid any demonstration on his account.
He was dressed as usual, and occupied an eligible
front nth. Some people my he is looking seedy ; but be is
probably saving his " bed clothes " for his New York visit.

to Christ Church, but, the weather being stormy, be had
not decided whether to go or mot.
An old English soldier visited the Prince ca Saturday
last, and • long and pleasant interview ensued. The
veteran gave the Prince three cheers on his departure, the
crowd outaide the hotel assisting. A boy, 12 years of age,
also called us the Prince, and represented himself as a de-
sosodant of the Duke of York. The buy presented dem-
metits establishing his claim. The Prince and General Reece
listened to the little fellow's story, and it is believed they
regarded the whole thing as a first-clam hoax. Mr. Poore,
of Poetised, Maine, had an interview to-day with the Duke
of Newcastle in reference to the future movements of the
Prince, and more ei peciallv as regards his visit to that city.
Mr. ?bore was informed that the Prince would remain but
one day in Portland.
The theqsaii of Chandos arrived from ledissepolis yester-
day. Then was a peat turnout to receive him, the

ithroke, and Hon. Mr. Elliot will travel with the Prince,
bet not in the official suite.

The royal party will leave for Yitteburg at 7 o'clock on
Monday morning. The royal visitors expressed themselves
well pleased with their quarters at the Buruett House.
