The PRIMES or WALES AND THE PARsONs.-We
publish in another column a curious article
from the Ch,wchman, from which 1t appears
that the Prince of Wales, on his arrival in New
York, is to be seized upon bodily by the pioss
old fogies of Trinity church, and set up in that
ancient minister as a new idol, to be worshipped
conformity with the god mammon, who has
heretofore almost monopolized the devotions Of
that respectable, wealthy and very devout COM
munity.
The daughter church." as our pious cotem-
porary regards the denomination which Trinity
represents, is about to exhibit its iial affection
by boring the future head of the another
church" We are told that "the clergy and
vestry of Trinity church. in an especial manner,
will show attention and respect to the young
Prince" Perhaps it is intended to install him
as the head of the Episcopal church in America,
as his mother is the head Of that establishment
in Great Britain apd Ireland
We had hoped that the young Prince, travel
ling, as he intends to do in the United States,
simply as a private gentleman, and hav ing
thereby escaped the clutches Of our vulgar
Common Council, would be saved from bores
of every kind; but it seems that, while avoiding
the attentions Of our not over pious Corpora
ton, he is destined to fall into the embraces of
the very pious fogies of the Churcsman and old
Trinity. 1t is evident, from the spirit of the
article referred to, that the heir apparent to the
throne of England, and therefore the future
defender of the Faith" is to be made show
of upon strictly religious principles-that is,
provided that his own good sense for he is re-
presented to be very sensible youth) and the
judgment of Tho noblemen and gentlemen who
accompany him do not rebel against the full
some stuff of the Nurchman, and that the
Baron Renfrew, under which title only we shall
know him, does not refuse to carry out the pro-
gramme Of the clergy and vestry Of Trinity
church.
The Prince of Wales has been very well
received in her Majesty's colonies. Every
thing compatible with the most exuberant
loyalty, and the most enthusiastic ad-
miration of his brilliant hazel eyes,"
"well knit figure" his graceful condescension
and very delightful dancing, on the part of the
ladies especially, has been done in st. Johns
He has made himself exceedingly popular by
remaining at the ball until two O'Clock in tie
morning, dancing with half dozen different
young ladies in succession-not the best of dan
GERS, either, it would appear. He even took upon
himself the duty of calling out the figures occa-
sionally-"frst couple right and left'-"bal-
ance to the right'-"ladies to the CENTRE and
so forth-all very charming in Prince, and
very natural in young man of nineteen, in
tensely devoted to the Terpsichorean art-as
what young man of nineteen is not?
The Prince has evidently come to this CONT
nent to enjoy himself, as well as to study the
institutions, colonial ard republican; and we
opine that when he comes to the great metropo-
lis Of the United States he will hardly enjoy
being seized upon by the parsons, exhibited in
Trinity church, and saluted with the stupid
homage of set of old fogies who have more
piety than brains. Or the contrary, we think
that the grand nephew e "the first gentleman
in Europe" would be much better pleased in
tripping ii on the light fantastic toe with
some bright faced Yankee gr,; to the music of
Dodworth's band.
The Prince Of Wales remains on the frontier
Of the British possessions the Baron Renfrew,
young nobleman travelling privately for his
amusement and instruction, enters the domains
of the United States, and we trust that
he will be permitted to accomplish his purpose,
like any other private gentleman whose rank
be has decided to assume. He does not come
here as the future King Of Great Britain, or the
future head Of the Church of England, the mo-
Their Of the Episcopal church of America; and
while he fortunately escapes the ovation which
be would certainly receive in the former charac-
ter, II is to be hoped that nothing of the kind
will be forced upon him in the latter
Cannot the Trinity church people find enough
to do in enlightening the benighted heather in
foreign parts, and let the Prince Of Wales
alone!
