wIa' they may do 1t is enough to know

The Prince OF Waller American Rscsp-
| tion-I.s Effect In England.
| The English press If, we are glad 10
perceive altering it's tone in reference to
the rece pso, given to the Prince OF Wales
in this cornhy. The sneering, disrespec.-
ful manner IN which it WAS disposed to
treat our efs>YW to do honor to our
young visiter has given place to more serious
| ard becoming consideration OF them. 1t was,
to ssy The least Of H. in The worst possible taste
for the entertained ts disp arage the frank, cor
dia! hospitality of TIE ep. -rtainers. But let
that Passi we are rot dispsa d to bear malice
when the o7aeade honorable fsA 1ade.
The best proof of the benef. ial effect which
the Princes warm reception h.A has produced
in England is, that it is now in ss temptation to
serd him TO Inca. 1t is jss.iy sh yaed that If
the results Of these roya! joul-ps siugs have
proved SO satisfactory in the ou- case they
must prove doEb)y SO In the Other. II. in
ounsry whe7e arissocraic installations find no
place, and where all men stand sc an equality,
the effect Of this act of courtesy has been to-
draw closer the ties Of consacgui nit Y and
friendship which bind it to England. y~ha may
not be hoped from ii, effect in IaEia, " here
the prestige of royalty is 80 great? We
believe that next to the reforms which the no
msous condition Of that vast empire aerlaua,s,
the visit of its future sovereign would prove
the most effecsual check upon dissfec.on as'd
rebellion that could be devised. What ar,u;-
nifeent spectacle would he the progress Of thu
young Prince through the Indian domiu,cns OF
his mother, receiving the homage of the petty
sovere;gns and princes who have been subj :cteH
to her sway, and examining into the condition,
of the populations released from their oprrcs-
siens but still ground down by the exactionoUf
British agents A finer school for the ed1ca-.'
ton OF a ruler on whose empire the sun never
seta, and whose responsibilities will be gresto-'
than those Of any other sovereign on earth. can
not well be imagined. 1t is to be doubled, how
ever, whether such visit undertaken at the pre-
sent time, would be productive Of all the benefit
with which It would be attended two or three
years later. To improve the condition of the peo-
pie Of India tie Prince must be released from the
tutelage of those by whom he Is surrounded
He must go there under circumstances Of
greater independence and armed with as much
authority as tie jealousy Of English Institutions
will accord him. All this is of course denied
to him until ke comes of age. Until then he
will employ his time probably IA visiting
other countries, in studying their various
forms Of government, and in comparing their
influence on the welfare and happiness of the
masses with what he has witnessed in the
United States.
But of all that he may see and investigate in
the course of his travels, nothing else will leave
on his mind so deep and profitable an impression
as bis experiences on this continent. He has
had an opportunity Of contrasting TIE opera
ton of monarchieal In close juxteposition with
republican institutions. The diSerence in the
condition Of the people of the British provinces
and Of the United States must have struck him
unpleasanty, as II does every Epglishman who
crosses the line which divides Canada from
this country. In the one he found stagna-
ton, poverty and want Of energy; in the
other activity, enterprise and comfort. Aud
this difference was as strongly marked in
the character Of bis reception "a in
the disparity o. condition that attracted
his notice In Canada there was al ways some
drawback on the warmth with which. be should
have been greeted-at one time csising from tho
unpopularity Of he Governor General in GER
tain localities; at another from the encient feuds
OF the Catholics and Orangemen. The feelings
OF loyalty and Hospitality which should have
overborne all these influences were wholly
forgotten In the vanity Of individuals CT IN the
jeaousies Of pcr,es.
Whc4 a contrast did he 6nd sere. No sooner
had Ia set foo-upon our soil than ne entered
on ar entirely new world wtsse, IL everything
was strange to aim, II was a, least dashed by
no unpleasant associations. II he met with
no esrvility, he was greeted wsah q warmth and
