The PRINCE or WALES AND THE PRyss.-We
see that some of the provincial newspapers are
making great fuss about the exertions of a
few of the London and New York journals in
chronicling the movements Of the Prince Of
Waes. There are, it appears, Oh the Princes
track. we might almost say in his suite, the re-
representatives. Of some half dozen newspapers
from both cities, including two of the leading
illustrated journals. Whatever credit is to be
claimed for enterprise in the matter is, how.
ever, due to the NEW YORK HERALD, which was
the first to despatch corps of special CORES
pondents to the places indicated in the pro.
gramme Of the Princes route, and which has
since continued to distance all its contempora-
ries in the fitness and accuracy of its tele-
graphic and other reports ofhis progress.
In this connection we cannot pass over Pc
culiarly gratifying feature of the arrange
ments which have been everywhere made to do
honor to the British heir apparent The claims
of the press to prominent place in them have
been duly recognized. and not only have the
proper facilities been afforded its representa-
tives for fulSlling their arduous duties, but
they have been made the objects of special
civilities and attentions at all the places
they have visited. To this correct appreciation
of the important share which the press contri-
butes to the eclat of the Princes visit, we are
indebted for individual courtesies intended to
mark the estimation in which the enterprise
and influence of this journal are held. In the
acquisition Of a couple of the same splendid
race Of dogs ohe Sullivan breed) az that to
which the animal presented to the Prince by
the colony Of newfoundland belongs, we hold
ourselves amply repaid for whatever trouble
and expense We have incurred in connection
with this visit. They are noble creatures, and
will form, through themselves and their progeny,
appropriate memorials Of an event which we
trust is destined to exercise a permanently
beneficial influence on the relations of the two
countries.
We note especially the manner ia which the
press has been provided for by the authorities
Of the British Provinces because it forms
marked contrast TO the neglect and even con-
tempt, with which its representatives have hith-
erto been treated in England. We trust that
the respect paid to them In connection with this
visit is destined to marguerite an improved
state Of things in the Old Country, and that the
social status Of the members of highly honor
able and laborious profession will no longer
depend on the chance appreciation of Cabi,
f:..,.x -
at his board.
As the manner Of the Princes reception in
the United States Is exciting good deal Of dis
cussion, It may be as we'll to notice here sug-
gesiion thrown out by Boston contemporary.
Ii is recommended that be be treated precisely
as an ex-President Of the United States would
be treated in England. This suggestion may
be construed in two ways, for while Mr.. Van
Buren, received very great marks of atteuti.n
and respect from the English court and ars-
tocracy, Mr.. Fillmore and General Pierce mt
with but comparatively few courtesies at thir.
hands. AS general thing, our ex-Presides
are looked upon abroad pretty much in Ne
light Of exiled princes. Their glory has e.
parted, and there Is neither honor nor prolific
be gained by lavishing civilities upon them. It
is different with the distinguished yong
stranger who Is about to visit u.s. He Il Dir
apparent to one OF the greatest monarchie in
the world. and his friendship and good option
in the future may be Of some value tous.
Making dne allowance for our republican re-
JUDGES In regard to royalty, such a wiser
is not TO be treated with the same indiferece
with which the English regard an ex-incm-
bent Of. the White House-the more especially

best rule in all such cases Is to consider tie
circumstances under which they present them.
selves, without reference to precedents In the
present instance we have no considerations o
be guided by save those suggested by the ele.
waited rank and political importance OF our
visitor, and his own expressed wishes as to the
manner Of his reception.
