thousands who had assembled 10 satisfy their
curiosity. In the evening he attended the
opera at the Academy of Music, which was
splendidly decorated for the occasion, and filled
with all the beauty and fashion of Philadel-
phia that could possibly find space within its
walls: Wednesday he left Philadelphia for
New York. AT South Amboy the government
steamer Harriet Lane, with Lieutenant Cen
eral Scott and a Committee of Reception, was
in waiting for him, and on his arrival at New

A dispatch from New York gives descrip-
ton Of the reception. II says:
The city is all excitement. Broadway was
thronged by noon with crowds anxious to see
the distinguished guest. The military are
turning out with full ranks, and the process.
sion and ceremonies promise to be very i'm
posing. The steamer Harriet Lane arrived al
Castle Garden at 2:30 p. M, the Prince enjoy
ing the trip over the Bay very much. One OF
the amusing incidents of the trip was a race
with the yacht Maria, which completely out
stripped the steam cutter. The Prince during
good part OF the way was on the deck Of the
Gu tier, and had good view of the harbor.-
He landed at Castle Garden and was formally
received by the Mayer and City Council HIS
horses were in readiness here, and at about 3
O'Clock he came out and reviewed the troops
on the Battery after which the procession was
formed and marched up Broadway, through
crowds OF enthusiastic spectators to the City
Hall and subsequently to the Fifth Ayen ue
Hotel. The turnout of the people was the
greatest ever witnessed in New York.
THB MARsHALsKA.-Dickens story Of Mr.
Dorrit living so long in debtors prison thar
he was at home nowhere else, has been parai-
ieled by reality, as indeed ali the most impro-
bable fictions of the most improbable noveiists
often are Sir Francis Desanges, Knight who
had been Sheriff of London aud Middiesex, and
also OF Oxfordshire, recently expired in the
q ueen's Prison. He had been an inmate Of this
gloomy abode for over four years. "Mrs. Chf-
ford the daugh ter Of the deceased, stated tha,
her father was rs years OF age, and had bitterly
complained of mis- imprisonment" In these
few words lies the gist of story probably
q ute as sad as that conjured up by the prolific
Imagination Of the great British romancer.-
Indeed the true tale is more pathetic still than
the fictitious The real Dorrit died in his pri-
son, the imaginary character had respite
from his trials.
