The Boil 7Iekeh-The committee directing the great
ball of Friday has commenced distribute cards Of ad
mission They are very simple and distinguished only
BY the elegance of the engraving They read as follows
"Admit to the ball in honor OF the Prince of Wacs at
tho Academy of Music, Friday, October H." 1t is SIN
gular that the gentlemen who superintendent the printing
Of the cards should commit the blunder OF thus formally
recognizing the prncey title of their guest when it has
been openly stated that he comes to America Lord
Renfrew, not rs Prince of Wales.
THE RESCUE OF THE CoSNAUGHr's PASsESGERs-A

in his social relations no less than among his seafarng
acquaintance he is distinguished for his urbany and
great Kindness Of character All the rescued passengers
including Mr. Newman the American consul at St. Johns
speak in of great admiration Of the heroic conduct
of Capt Wilson IN remaining by the burning wreck
When the different boats had become exhausted
by their atgung labors in rescuing the passengers,
were paralyZed with dread OF the burning ship, and
the danger OF approaching her, he encouraged
the depending seamen and urged them to continue their
humane efforts. The Minnie Schiller is named after n

That FIVE hundred and ninety-one human beings were
