CRY CoUNcIL-PRoCEEDINGs LAST NIGHT.
The Council met at the usual hour last night,
President Terrence in the Chair. The min
utes of the previous meeting were read and
approved.
Mr.. Weasner presented resolution author
izing the Mayor to invite the Prince of Wales
to extend'his visit to this city, and to furnish
him necessary comforts and conveniences
while here. w '- .f
Messrs. Weasner and Eggleston advocated
the resolution, on the ground that it was
clearly to our interest: it might lead to i'm
portant commercial regulations, and give this
city an Importance in Europe.
Mr.. Toohy opposed the resolution. He did
not approve of toadyism. Let the Prince
pass through the country as any hertrayeler.
Let him be treated and protected as such. If
he wanted to see the workings of our Demo-
cratic institutions, he could do it better with
out being bored to death by American officials
We had toadied Mackay, Dickens and
others, and when they returned to Europe
they had ridiculed us. He wanted the Prince
to see us as he is. He wanted him to visit
our factories, where he could see true Ameri-
can life. -f'-- fndd4h ..fr
Mr.. Marsh offered q substitute, oouched in
somewhat different language, and stripped Of
all aristocratic phrases simply calling him
the representative of great commercial
country.
He was for paying him proper respect, not
because he was Prince of Wales, but because
he was the representative ofa great country,
with which we were on friendly terms. He
did not like the phrase, His Royal High
ness" let him come and be treated as any
other gentleman.
Mr.. Moore opposed both the resolution and
the substitute. If the Prince wanted to come
here, let him do it as any other man. and be
treated as such. The English would not be
influenced in commercial matters by any
thing else than the legitimate laws of trade.
Mr.. Noble was opposed to the resolution
and moved to lay the whole subject on the
table, which was lost.
Mr.. Egglesten said that the only way to
get him here was to invite him. If we want
him to visit our manufactures we must show
him round He was in favor of inviting
him simply as the representative of a COM
mercial country, and not as a Prince. ya
Mr.. Toohy protested that, though born in
Ireland, he was as good an American as the
gentleman from the Fifth Ward. He had
contributed money TO the assistance of the
Pope; but he had a right to subscribe to
whatever he pleased. Neither he nor his
party had ever given any thing to light up
| the fires of revolution at Harpers Ferry. He
| was opposed to the resolution on principle,
Mr. Weasner was sorry that he had offered
| the resolution, not that 1t ought not to pass,
but it had consumed time that ought to have
been better employed. He was as much op-
posed to toadyism as any man; It was a
matter of courtesy that ought to be extended
| to the representative of great nation. The
member fromthe Thirteenth Ward was toady-
ing politician only last night.
| Mr.. Whitcomb opposed the resolution, and
| ridiculed the idea of competing with New
| York for British trade The Prince had the
spondoolicks-iet him pay his way.
| Mr.. Davis offered the following resolution
Resolved, That the Mayor is hereby authorized tt
invite Lord Renfrew TO visit this city, aud partak'
| Of its hospitalities. llii

Mr.. Weasner accepted Mr.. Marsh's amend
| ment. .,..,..i.a
Mr.. Moore moved to lay the whole subject
on the table, Lost. iaf sae .ls
Mr.. Mack said be was born in a country
governed by Kings. He could not live undei
their rules, and he did not want them herr
in their official capacity. Let them pas
through as other travellers. We were opposed
to the rule of Princes and we would max
fools of ourselves to spend money for thei
reception, ..aa-i ~, y I-aa lr
The resolution, as amended, was theI
