THE PRooREss oY THE PRINCE or WALES
PREPARATIONS FoR THE BAfI---All's well that
ends well, and therefore everybody ought to
be delighted to know that the Orange colored

have done homage TO the true Prince.
As for the city Of New York, the great pro-
blem Of what shall be done with the Prince, or
rather the Baron Renfrew-s he drops all

duly solved. We are TO give him . ball, a milf

appears that the Canadian troubles Of the vice

HE FUGITIVE " SLAVES" CANADA 1@e Hh'tes Beginning to Protest-At the late term of the Assizes for Essex County, '. w., the Grand Jury made their usual presentment, in which occurs the following:
 We are sorry to state to your Lordship the great prevalence of the colored race among It's occupants. and beg leave, to call your attention to the accompanying docu- ments from the Municipal Council and in- haoitants of the township of Anderson, which we recommend to your Lordship,s serious consideration"
 Inc document alluded to is as follows: To he Gran'd Jury ofMe County of Essex, 'n inquest assembled:
 we, the undersigned inhabitants of the township of Anderson, respectfully wish to call the attention of the Grand Inouest of the county of Essex to the fearful state of crime in our township. That there exists organized bands of theives, too lazy to work, who nightly plunder our property.
 1hat nearly al of as, more or less. suffered losses; and that for the last two wears the stealing of sheep has been most alarming. one individual having had nine sheep stolen within that period We likewise beg to call your attention to the fact that seven colored persons are committed to stand their trial at the present assizes on the charge of sheep stealing, and that q war rant Is out against the eight, all from the township of Anderdon. We beg distinct " to be understood, that although we are aware that nine-tenths of Me crime committed ln Me county of Esser, according to the population, are 90 committed by the coiored people, that we willingly extended the hand of fellowship and kindness to the emancipated slave, whom Great Britain has granted an asylum to in Canada. We therefore hope the Grand Jury of the coun- ty ot Essex will lay the statement of our case before his Lordship, the Judge, at the present asslzes, that some measures may bs taken by the Government to protect us and our property, or persons of capital waH be dr7ven from Me country,"
 The document was signed by the Reeve and clerk of the township in their official capacity by order of the townihip council and by one hundred and fifty-one citizens.
 The court, in alluding to the present. ment, remarked that |" he was not surprised at finding a prejudice existing against them (the negroes) among the respectable portions of the people, for they were indo- lent, shiftless and dishonest, and unworthy of the sympathy that some mistaken parties extended to them; they would not work when opportunity was presented, but pre- fered subsisting by theiving from respect able farmers, and begging from those be- nevolently inclined"

EE There is a piece of gossip, says the London correspondent of the National In telllgencer, now very current, and it's being more closely connected with political ar engagements, should it be true, than with those of any other class, we will mention it here. The King of Portugal is a widow CT of some six months standing, and he is stated to be already looking out for second consort. He has, we are told, fixed upon the Princess Alice, of England, as the oc- cupier of that high position, and the young Princess Is said to be not insensible to the young monarch's claims to her hand, and, we trust, her heart We are further told that all parties necessary to be consulted are favorable to the union, and that no po- litical difficulties will intervene. But now comes the difficulty. The State religion of Portugal, and of course the creed of the King, are Roman Catholic The Princess Alice is Protestant, born of strictly Protestant parents, and educated in all con- formity to the Protestant faith. We are told, however, that the assertion of Virgil " Onnia cincit amor," has proved correct in this instance, and that the Princess fin ishes the quotation by adding, 'et nos ce- danaus cmore," and embraces the Roman Catholic faith.

NE POstma star Ganoral Holt La

N Postmaster General Holt has writ ten letter under the following circumstan- ces. A husband who had been separated from his wife, demanded that his village postmaster should delivery of the letters to him and threatened a suit at law if his de- mand was not complied with. The wife, on the other hand, forbade the delivery of the letters to the husband In these circum- stances, the postmaster appealed to Mir. Holt for instructions. That gentlman pronounces the claim too preposterous to be seriously refuted-indeed, he says, it is as abhorrent to law as 1t is to the Christian civilization of the age.

A GRIZZLY BEAR.-A grizzly bear, weighing about 500 pounds, says the Stock- ton, Col. Argus, was killed on Saturday near Turner's Ferry, and brought to this city yesterday. While undergoing the process of " shedding" his hide, crowd of spectators gathered around, and indulged in variety of speculations as to the mode of escape, if perchance, they should ever have occasion to meet, in some unguarded moment, a member of the grizzly family bearing such fearful proportions. We learn that grizzlies are frequently seen in the neighborhood of Turner's, and oc. casionally do much damage to the stock in that vicinity.
