PRINCE OF WALES IN CINCINNATI.

A little after one o'clock this morning the
Prince of Wales arrived at the Burnet House,
where, notwithstanding the lateness of the
hour, quite crowd, some 300 or 400 persons,
including representatives OF the press sport
ing men, toad-eaters, "men-about-town,n
ward politicians, Bohemians, itterdteuTs,
hackmen and policemen, witha large sprinlS-
ling Of vagabonds and homeless wretcLes,
had assembled to catch view of the young
Lord Renfrew.
Great efforts were made by the tuft-hunt-
ing portion of the crowd to obtain a first
glance of his Royal Highness; and many
were running hither and thither for that
purpose, much after the manner of terrier
which has scented a rat. "Has he GOMEZ"
''When will he be here2" 81 wonder how he
looks2n were expressions that fell from many
lips. A..
One thing the number assembled seemed
unanimous upon = that Albert Edward
should not make his way into the hotel in
any Invisible Princes cap.
AT a few minutes after one, q rush was
made to the east end of the Burnet, and it
was generally stated that the Prince had ar
rived.
Queen Victoria's eldest son had arrived,
and as soon as he alighted from the carriage,
he was surrounded by his suite, conspicuous
among whom was the Duke of Newcastle
and half borne to the staircase opposite the
private entrance on Vine-street, when he
suddenly disappeared, to the great astonish-
ment and greater disappointment, of many
of the hunters present.
The Princes suite consists of Duke Of
Newcastle, Earl st. German, Lord Lyons,
Major Gen. Hon. R. Bruce, Major Teasdale
Capt. Gray, DR.. Acland, Mr.. Engleheart, Mr..
Ware and Mr.. Jenner.
The attendants are Messrs. Bachmayer,
Gillette, Grimm (no relative of the famous
Baron Of that name) Porter, Bailey, Gross,
Dowine, Beal, Green, Custalucci and Robert.
Immediately after their arrival tea was
served, and it is stated, as a profound mys-
terry, not to be told in Askalon or Gath, that
the Prince drank cup of tea at three
draughts, having previously placed therein
three pieces of crushed sugar.
Another matter of great interest is that he
asked the Duke of Newcastle for cigar, and
was anxious to imbibe glass of lager-beer,
which extraordinary desire DR.. Acland be-
sought him, by the love he bore his mother,
not to crafty.
AS Albert Edward is really a very good
little boy, and extremely fond Of his mother,
whom, unlike a famous candidate for the
Presidency, he is not Just now seeking, he
consented to forego the lager until this
morning.
The suite sat down to a chat while before
retiring, but the Prince, who was a good
deal fatigued, fell asleep-a fact made known
by most unpoetic snore.
The idea of a Prince snoringl but he did
though-whereupon the Duke and the Doc
tor aroused the British youth, and while six
of the attendants pulled off one of his boots
at a signal from the Duke, he kicked off the
other, and was heard to exclaim he was
id tired"
In two minutes, by stop-watch, the
| Prince stood on the floor with single gar
ment-we would beg to state it reaches to a
| point one inch above his knee-and in fouI
and three-quarters of second he was in
| bed.
We have been requested by the entire
| suite not to state that Albert. Edward swore;
but the duties of journalism are imperative,
and must be obeyed, though the Heavens
| fall and the British lion roar.
The good Queen Mother, who is the most
| orthodox and uninlellectual sovereign that
ever safe upon throne, always endeavored
| to rear him in ignorance even of the nature
| of mill-dam, for fear of alarming conse-
| quences to his morals. Therefore, be it un-
| derstood, she is not responsible for his
drowsy oath, which is perhaps aseribable to
| the Young America influence and the eX-
| tfeme length, at present, betweeI him and
his royal mammals garter.
The Prince is in bed. Let us leave him
there, and sketch his personal appearance,
with which all are, Of course, extremely
anxious to become acquainted.
Albert Edward is rather small in stature
and of slight mold, with moderate incli-
nation of the shoulders-the vulgar would
term it a stoop-supposed to have beer
caused by his prOclivity to the British throne
His costume was a suit of fancy cassimer(
-by-the-by the Prince must have q very
inartistic tailor-that did not seem to like
Albert Edward much from the indispositior
they manifested to touch his royal person.
The Prince of Wales is not handsome, a
ALL but he has an amiable expression ant
rather well-bred air, which would be ap
to prepossess students of physiognomy.
He is a blonde, with light hair and light
blue eyes-very little color in his cheeks
prominent nose and retreating forehead, anC
mouth quite RECONSTRUCTED suggestiv
neither of refinement nor spirituality-no
at all kissable, as sentimental schoolgirl
would say, if they could ever interpret an.
stranger idea they happened to entertain 70
brief moment
The latest heard from the Prince, inde-
pendent of the snore, was, that he haC
thrust one of his royal toes from underneath
the coverlet. The Duke and DR.. AclanC
succeeded in replacing the erriRg toe with
out awalzing his Royal Highness, for which
the Queen and all her subjects will b,
eternally grateful.
Here we leave Baron Renfrew; hoping tha
he may escape a portion of the bores tina
are prepared for him, and in spite of all pre-
meditated infections survive sufficient
long toreturn to his mamma, aud be assure
by her that he is 'good little boy"
MAY he find his mother much sooner tina
did Senator Douglas, and fortunate enoug
to die before he ascends the British throne
