1t IL understood that during the coming sum-
mer the United States will have the inexpressI-
Die honor Of entertaining several very dis
nDguished visiters from abroad. We have had
counts and barons and dukes and lords with
out number, fair allowance Of literary lions,
q rev princes out Of favor, and king or two
without kingdom, and have been duly de-
lighted, OF course. All these guests Of Coium-
bia fade however, into insignifcance before
the prospect that now dawns upon our aston
ished vision, or that will dawn in the leafy
month Of June. Then, 1t appears that the
loyal Canadian subjects of her Gracious Ma
jesty the Queen Of Great Britain, Defender, &C.,
are to have the honor Of visit from the heir
apparent to the throne It is not probable
that the Prince Of Wales, who will make an
Official visit with a suitable retinue of mobiles
and gentlemen, will confne his explorations to
the provinces over which he will one day rule.

shoot from the Queens domlnions, and 1t is the
old monarcbical doctrine that allegiance can
not be alienated; 80 that his Royal Highness
may account the two and thirty millions of
American sovereigns among his subjects. At
any rate he will feel anxious to see how
great country can get on without king, unless
we make account of King Caucus and King
Convention. His Royal Highness is Colonel of
the Oxford Rife Corps, too, and may like to
have look at some of our crack militia corps,
like the Seventh or Seventy first regiments.
So that his visit may be accounted as a reasona-
BILE certainty.
The other distinguished guests of the repub-
lie are the members of the Japanese mission,
who are numerous enough to occupy all the
spare room on board Of first class steam fri
gate, and who will bear the personal greetings of
their Emperor to the President of the United
States. This unique diplomatic body will make q
tour of the country, and will attract even more
attention than the Prince of Wales and his aris-
tocratic suite. Even st. James Palace must
pale before Jeddo, and duke with sixteen
quarteriDgs would have no show with real
Japan noble having the genuine polish.
Both missions will be welcome, however, as
is apparent by the tone Of the press, which re-
fleets the tone of the public mind in advance.
The only question is, what shall we do with
them, 80 that they may be properly received,
and we not be made ridiculous in the eyes of
Christendomf Jonathan is plain, honest chap,
who has been too hard at work all his lifetime
TO have become informed as to court et-
quette, and he often makes blunders from over
anxiety to do the genteel thing to his guests.
A while ago he was honored by . call from a
real Turk, representing the Commander of the
Faithful. Jonathan was dreadfully puzzled;
he gave to the Efendi the flesh Of the pig, in
the form Of the festive sandwich, and preferred
the juice of the grape, both of which are for
hidden to the true believer. Divers other
contree,nps have occurred with our fine COM
psny, and many sensible people think that It
would be - we'll to protect them by law
| against Aldermen and other officials, az we
| profess to shield the emigrant from ticket
| swindlers. However, that is question to be
settled hereafter. As we are to have the great
| company, and as our house ID not over and
above clean, 1t will be as well to set it in Or
der, to pack away all the national dirty linen,
! and to wash, dress and shave our servants, Civ
ing Congress, the State Legislatures and NUM-.
cipAl bodies fair exterior, ct sny rate. It IL
not probable that the Japanese will understand
much Of what is going on around them here;
| but II the rowdy members of the House from
Virginia and elsewhere could get up fight or
two while the English are in Washing
ton, it would afford fine theme
for some sharp articles in the London Times,
and telling speeches in the Imperial Parlia-
ment Perhaps it would be better, however,
for Jonathan to put on his best behavior, and
entertain his distinguished visiters in modest
quiet and gentlemanly way, 30 that both mis-
sions from the two great nations of the East
and West may 60 home and make q favorable
report of the condition of affairs in the great
republic, which has some of the follies and &C.
centricities, as well as the vigor, and strength,
and glory Of the first morning of manly youth
Even Achilles had one vulnerable spot.
The PRINTING CORRUPTION FuxDIN CONGRESS-
TERRIBLE ExPosURE.-We publish to-day the
report Of the House Committee on Public Ex-
penditures, together with the most important
portions Of the testimony touching the printing
of Congress, presented yesterday to the House
Of Representatives from which the reader will
see that all we have hitherto said about this
Congressional printing being source of cor
ruption, employed by both parties alternately,
