The Prince Of Wales.

The tour of the Prince of Wales through
Her Majesty's North American Provinces
has fairly closed, His Royal Highness, as
has been announced by telegraph, having
reached Niagara Falls Friday evening.
The correspondent of the New York
Tines gives the following incidents OF the
ball in honor of the Prince at London,
Canada West, Wednesday night:
Last evening at the ball two of the most
respectable young men of Buffalo, who were
with ladies, were arrested by the detectives,
who imagined them to be pickpockets.
They were handcuffed and locked up in the
cell all night, with two prostitutes and q
squaw. In the morning over a hundred
Americans attended the Court, and there
were strong symptoms of row. Profuse
apologies were rendered, but they could in
no way remedy the misery of the matter.
Two horses which were special favorites
of the Prince have been purchased by some
Canadian gentlemen for $4,000, and will be
sent to England as present for the Prince.
The Princes suite are about used up, and
heartily wish themselves and their charge
safely home.
A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing to that paper from London, G. w.,
under date of September IA, furnishes the
following incidents and facts connected with
the Princes tour:
This morning it was officially announced
that the Prince had appointed the regiment
OF volunteers, commanded by Col. Wiley,
which has acted as his guard of honor since
he LETT for Montreal, to be called the
Princes Own, and receive stand of colors
from his hand.
The firemen gave ball last evening,
which exceeded in jollity the grand ball at
which the Prince was present. English
and American flags were about equally dis
played, the fremen saying that they were
organized on the American plan and felt
about half Americanized.
Mr.. Brockmire, the Queens own courier,
precedes the Prince in the United States
and examines and inspects the hotels, decid-
ing at which the Prince is to stay. 1t is
announced, unoficially, but with some Ger
tainty, that the Prince stays at the thinner.
man Mansion, at Niagara at Detroit, Rus
ellis Hotel; at Chicago the Richmond
House; at St. Louis, Barnum's, and at Gin
cinnati, the Burnet. e..
The Prince returns by way of Indiauap-
oils, and stays there one day. At Pitts
burgh be stops at the Monongahela House.
He has been advised to visit the Nam.
moth Cave, but the Governor enral thinks
it is not worth while ); and proceeding to
Washington, be stays with the President, and
takes his advice as to bis future movements
altogether.
The American flag is now, placed upon
the Princes table at dejeuners, suppers and
balls equally with the English, and at the
ball last. night the first tune played was

teers and members of the Canadian Parlia.
ment have been asked to accompany the
Prince in the United States. No one knows
how many persons will form the royal party;
but when announced it will be safe to make
allowance for ten or twelve more, for at any
place here, many more are on hand than
apartments are provided for.
Since the notice taken of the usual court
etiquette which the Prince has maintained,
he has become more Democrtic, and now
gives bis arm TO his partner at balls, and
escorts her around the room. The Prince
left London at ten o'clock this morning for
Niagara.
The same correspondent telegraphs from
Niagara Falls as follows:
The Prince started in special train on
the Great Western Railway from London
at ten o'clock this morning, and soon arrived
at Woodstock, little place situated, like
most Canadian towns, a couple of miles from
the Railroad.
The Prince disembarded in the midst of
the hooting and jostling of the crowd, the
band playing away on an elevated platform,
and was hurried into carriage and driven,
amid thick clouds of dust, through the
streets, the only noticeable feature of which
was live bear and raccoon- mathematical
of the inhabitants chainedu upon platform,
together with band which made noise
scarcely less hideous than the animals con-
fusion was worse COMPOUNDED. Six or seven
OF the suite were crowded into carriages,
and no one could tell which. Twas the Prince.
The train stopped at several small places.
At Dunville there was great crowd, and
the Prince came out on the platform Of the
cars, and bowed. One committeeman said
the people were so enthusiastic that they
must see the Prince The Governor Gen.
eral said there was more liquor than enthu-
siasm, and the Prince refused to stop.
At Fort Erie the Prince drove to the
Fort and received an address. The Cana.
dams had no cavalry, and an American
company volunteered to escort the Prince.
Their Captain was presented at the Fort.
The Prince travels in special Car, which
is the last on the train, and which is luxu-
riously fitted up with ottomans, lounges,
&c. Another Car was provided for the nil
nor members of the suite and members of
parliament, while another car was provided
for guests, among whom we're members of
the press and government. The police, un-
der efficient Chief Mclaughlin, keep guard.
This is the way the Prince travels in
Canada, but he designs riding in the same
car with ordinary people in the States.
