TIE Prince Of Wales and bis suite landed from th
revenue cuttn HSuiet Lane, which received them q
South AAboy lear O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and
were escorted from Casis Garden to their lodgings al
| the Fifth-Avsnue Hotel. The demonstrations Of the
people marked this an event Of supreme interest and
were general and earnest characteristic and sug
gestye than any other of the many occasions Of this
very eveDtful year. While the metropolis showed all
the symptoms Of that strange fever Of which
Americans are, of oil nations, the only true subjects
which ds6es every diagnosis burns without
consuming, shakes without unsettling the mind,
and leaves its victim after racking of the and
firing Of the blood cool steady and in full sight Of
that star of destiny which is the mysterious but faith
full guide Of Republican fortunes; while the
pension Of business in the city practically uniyer
SAL and one great impulse directed the thoughts and
the steps of all clssses and while al the conflicting
elements that enter into the homogeneous COM
posite Of the population were solicited in the
enormous street assemblage, it was plain how
| a kindly feeling controlled all the exciting
affairs Of the day. There could have been
filter tribute to the honor and the word the trad
ons and the present grandeurs that are grace
fully represented on the American soil by the fair
youth Albert Edward The Prince OF Wales than this
intense democratic presence. Those huge c'lec ions
Of men, women, and children which met the eye IN
receding ocean stretches, swayug together as if with
the irresistible tidal throb compressed within often
narrow limits, AMI compelled to chafe a good
deal, but never sweeping over their bounds
to do harm nor lost to the gentle but firm
control of sun of good humor those spontane-
Gus, unstudied, iuastic, and cbsngefuy picturesque
symboiugs Of the waysids-the flags and flowers the
informal mottoes-and the stirring acclama'ions aud
delights that each frat sight OF the bOyih form Of tue
Prince evoked these and with them the very confu
81 NJ that were the atura of such apreposterouy
tcul stock of enthusiasm fty yped the capacities
of the people for selfgoyernment founded on the i'm
mutable laws of human sympathy. And beneath
all this suggestion 10 the wise minds that hodge
shout the royal person, and perhaps beneath all
the happiness the strange pageantry OF the hour
brought 10 the fresh and susceptible heart Of the
favored youth there must have rested great senss OF
the hopefuness Of the picture, and needed 10 sran
Of the imagination to view him upon whom every eye
loved to dwell for whom the flags waved, the low ers
fell and the cheers went mp, as the pledge OF an aec
lion and an honest sympathy between the parent ma
tons in the civilized family Of the earth which stall
be broken never. Ii was not fiction OF the over
excitsd brain that he the gentle bearer OF tia
olive branch Of peace and real goodwill whose pleas
ant courtesies foretokened the closer blending OF
Tire interests of England and the States aud
fond union Of their noble energies in the cause OF truth
Justice and love for al people under heaven Net long
since the East threw its antique shadows over the ssn
streets The grave spirit of the Orient looked from ayah
Of soft traditions into the busy heart Of Yankee life, aud
immemorial pejudces laid down at the doors Of
the West opening ON the boundess horizon Of ntesc
tus and material progress. And yesterday the
drams-this wonderful and harmonious drama OF
humanity-reached another climax, and the de-
scendant of the Georges entered the center OF
American Independence and met no barriers bat
solid hosts of welcoming ctzens and the refrain OF
the chimes and of all the instruments, was God save
the Queen Not the most dreary philosopher over
the institutions" of his country could cone forth
from the scenes of this occasion without good hope
for the future of people which is still 30 loyal to the
domestic virtues that have made the name of Victoria
iustrious and this sentiment of respect and admira'
ton fer purity and charity was the key mote OF the
whole affair.
