LORD RENFREW.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and
suite left New York city on Monday morning
Accompanied by few distinguished invited guests
they embarked on board the revenue cutter Harriet
Lane at ten O'Clock in the morning, and proceeded
to West Point, attended by grand lotilla On
his arrival there the Prince was received in mag
nihcsnt manner by the attaches of the Military
Academy. His Royal Highness made minute in
specuon OF all the academic buildings, and after
wards reviewed the corps of cadets. Six thousand
people were present at the reception.
The New York Euening POST of Monday
gives the following incident in connection with the
| affair:
| Mr.. Drew, in anticipation of the Princes excur-
| sion to West Point, had ordered splendid COLA
ton TO De prepared and ready for his boat, the
| Daniel Drew, this morning. The proprietor of the
Astor House had charge of the affair, and had for
| two or three days been engaged in the prepara-
tons. But last evening it was intimated that the
collation. would not be needed, and soon after the
orders were withdrawn; the whole thing, in fact
was suddenly killed. OF course there are many
copJectures to the of this sudden change of
| the programme. Some assert that there was a DIFF
| tculty between the Duke of Newcastle and Mayor
| Wood. Others suppose the Common Council in
sisted upon going along, and having a good time
generally; and that, thereupon, somebody intma ted
| 10 Newcastle that the Common Council had vulgar
| fellows in it, who would bring disgrace upon the
party, and that this hint Newcastle spake: 'The
| Harriet Lane was placed at our disposal by the
United States Government We have paid our own
expenses thus far and you will permit us not to de-
part from our rule. We, therefore, cannot accept
| the collation." So the royal party went alone, At
West Point they will take the Daniel Drew at their
own charge, and if they want collation. they will
| pay for it themselves.
THE PROGRAMME IN BOSTON,
| In Boston, though the visit of the Prince does
not apparently engage attention, more is really
| done than meets the eye. The landlord of the Re-
we're House is very busy with his preparations. The
| tail Ors and modistes are working like mad the de-
| coratons of the Academy of Music and the estab-
shment of a communication with the Melodeon
next door, which Meodeon is to constitute the sup
| per-room, employs scores of people from anxious
| upholsterers' establishments. The sale of tickets
at Sl5 apiece, admitting lady and gentleman,
proceeds very brisky 1t is computed that the bali
on Thursday will cost $4,000, which the sale of
three or four thousand tickets will cover. 81 900
is to be paid for the of the theatre, and $500
| for the Melodeon. The decorations will consume
$4,000. The supper $4,000. The printers will get
81 900. The music is to cost $500. The sundries
those charming unconsdered trihes which went
to swell the New York Japanese swindle bill-are
set down at 81, 700. The gas and alterations in the
two buildings will absorb the remaining 81 900. So
that, altogether, Boston is doing the thing credit
ably, yet frugally. There will be as much of a
military demonstration can be managed with the
small force available here but yet the day is not
named
| great effort will be made to impress the Prince
with the literary pretensions of the Bostoniaus and
the muse of Longtell0w has been invoked to give
him poetical welcome. At the Winthrop School,
where there are nearly thousand girls, the follow
