AN AMERICAN OPINION OF TIDE DUKE
OF NEWCASTLE.

Since the arrival of the Prince of Wales in
the British provinces his manner of conduct-
ing himself, under circumstances arid among
a population so different from thosr., to which
he has been accustomed, has been. curiously and
attentively scrutinised. It was expected that the
loyalty of the colonial subjects of his illustrious
mother would undergo some severe checks from the
chillins, restrictions and formalities by which the
young Prince would be surrounded. With their
democratic and half Republican tendencies, such
dampers on their hospitable inclinations would
soon have extinguished the cordial feelings by
which they were animated. Fortunately the young
Prince, himself too young to discriminate as to the
course of conduct that best befitted him on this
unexplored ground, had been intrusted to discreet
and experienced guardianship. Although the
natural and easy manner in which he has accom-
modated himself to the circumstances in which he
has been placed has been set down to the genial
and amiable impulses of his own nature, it must
not be forgotten that he has been all the time under
strict tutelage, and that it is more to the judg-
ment and tact of his advisers than to his own
unfettered discretion that are due the admirable
propriety and freedom from all that was likely
to shock democratic prejudices that have marked
his progress since be set foot on the American.
shores. It is but right that the Mentor to whom
the popularity of the British Telemachus is in a great
measure owing should have his fair share of the
credit attaching to the conduct of his Royal charge.
It is not generally known, and it is time that the
fact should be stated, that on his Grace the Duke
of Newcastle has been devolved by Queen Victoria
the entire responsibility of her son's actions during
his visit to our continent. Among the whole British
aristocracy a wiser or more judicious selection could
not have been made. The career of this nobleman,
from his first entrance on public life, has been.
marked by an uprightness, a soundness of judgment,
and a comprehensiveness of views which have
singled him out as one of the most patriotic and
estimable of living British statesmen. When Lord
Lincoln—and under the control of a bigoted father,
his grace was one of the first to give his adhesion to
the free-trade theories of Sir Robert Peel, convinced
that in their adoption lay the only permanent foun-
dations of the prosperity of his country. When.
that great man was made the incessant object of
bitter persecutions by the party whom he had con-
scientiously deserted, Lord Lincoln was one of the
small but gallant band of statesmen who adhered to
his fortunes, and who, after his death, esteemed it
their greatest pride to have been numbered among
his followers. But it is not in public life only
that the duke has displayed those rave qualities
which has pointed him out to his Sovereign for his
present delicate and responsible position. The
course which he pursued on coming into possession
of his father's titles and estates offered an equally
striking example of the justness of views and lofty
disinterestedness which seems to be the leading
qualities of his character. In his address to the
tenantry of the Clumber estates, Notts, delivered
in December, 1851, he gave expression to senti-
ments and intentions which did equal credit to his
head and heart. In the first place, he informed
them that the custom that had prevailed of de:

a conscientious regard
for his obligations and duties towards his tenantry
which is but rarely to be met with among the class
to which he belongs. Fears have been expressed
that when the Prince of Wales comes among us he
may be betrayed into accepting some of the ful-
some obligations which individuals, for their own
glorification, seem intent upon forcing on. him. We
have no apprehensions of this kind. The Duke of
Newcastle is too discreet and safe a guide for him
to permit his Royal charge to be the instrument of
ministering to this foolish vanity. The Prince
visits us a private individual, and with the exception
of the invitations from the President and the Mayor,
we think it highly improbable, considering the
hands he is in, that he will accept any other compli-
ments of this nature. The tuft-hunters and Jenkinsea
that are lying in wait for him may therefore spare
themselves all the trouble to which they are putting
themselves. The Duke, his Mentor, knows
. the
ropes, and will not give him a chance of falling into
their clutches.—New York Ilsrald.
