The Prince Of Wales's Advised Visit
to the United States. :

The London Times of the Goth uIt. after
discussing rnc contempt VISIT OF me Prince
of Wales to Canada, says:
It would be matter of regret if the Prince
of Wales, satisfied with the homage of the
Canadians, should neglect to visit the republic
which now plays so great part in the world.
We do not, of course, anticipate, in any case
that the Prince would return to England
without having set foot on the United States
territory; but there are different ways Of. visi-
ting a country, and, as none repays attentive
observation more than the Americanrepublic,
so none is likely to be so ill understood by a
mere flying tourist. America is not coun-
try Of museums and palaces, to be. done in
so many days with a Murray's Handbook. =
Its interests consists in its people, in the phas-
es of civilization through which they are
passing, in the political and commercial activi-
ty which they display in their energy and
restlessness, their greatness and their weak
ness.
Although we cannot expect that youth in
bis nineteenth gear should be able to appreci-
ate the American Commonwealth, yet we feel
sure that journey through the United States
and some association with the people would
not be lost labor. OF kind and courteous
reception the son Of Queen Victoria may be
very sure. The interest of Americans in the
descendants of the former ruler of their coun-
try is second only to that of Englishmen them
selves, and, Whatever may have been former
ly the case. the feeling is now one Of good will
and sympathy. The Prince of Wales might
find both instruction and recreation in a visit
to the Atlantic cities, whether it be New
York in all its ambitious and span new splen.
dor or its more quiet rivals. -. d.
There is much to be learnt from few
weeks Of such travel-mCre than a, royal per.
sonage may ever afterwards have an opportu.
nifty of learning. One who is called to such
high destinies, and who will have such oppor
tunities of directing the tastes OF his country,
men, may advantageously study the progress
in the arts of life by people, thrown as il
were but yesterday, on the shores of q new
continent, q progress not less wonderful thar
their commercial prosperity. If the Princ'
of Wales should further visit the President o
the United States at Washington, the courte
sy will, we feel sure, be appreciated, aud tene
| to draw closer the bonds which unite the tw'
countries. 49,, "a

CONCORD OUT OF THE USIoS.-Mr. Davis,
the Postmaster at Concord, Mass, has been
subjected to the loss of his barn, with hay ma
clnery, tools and wagons, by the act Of an
incendiary. The Concord fanatics esteem it
a sufficient justification for the act that Mr..
Davis was suspected of informing the U. s.
officers where Sanborn was to be found. So
that in Concord, to be suspected of disposi-
ton to obey the laws of the United States is
sufficient ground for burning up mans pro-
perty-why not for hanging him II
It is very evident that Concord, Mass, is
not in the United States, becsuse the wonder
full Sanborn lives there. Why not let Con.
cerd step out ofthe Unionif she wants TO- and
let her go without a post office and every
thing else she borrows from the United States

o. A copy of the bull of excommunica-
ton against Victor Emanuel has reached Paris
from Turin, and with it the information that
the publication of the document has been for
bieden at Turin, where it had been carried by
the archbishop's grand Wears, who had receiv-
ed it, to the Minister of Justice. The arch
bishop himself is still absent, voluntary ex-
lie at Lyons. The Council Of State, before
whom the bull was laid, has pronounced it
null and void, not having received the royal
exequator.
Dissension is already entering into the eccle-
siastical camp at Turin. One-half of the cler-
gy submitting to the Injunction against the
publication of the bull; the other declaring no
power SO great as the Pope, persisting in pro-
claiming it from the pulpit. They say that
Victor Emanuel does not exactly like the idea.
He was brought up by religious mother, and
has led loose and irreligious life between the
periods of fierce devotion which all Italian
Catholics experience and the threat uttered by
his mother during the delirium of her last
hours expressiyeof the secret terror which had
evidently governed her whole life: "He will

prayer for "Victor." The Italian mind can
not bear souvenirs like those at all times; and
