The Prince Of Wales and New York.
There is vast deal of hospitality now Of
fered in the city Of New York to the Prince
of Wales. All the old, patriotic families OF
that metropolis, people who date their anees-
try back to MKrausxLAH, and GOOD deal iar-
Their are on the ows Gle. to show the Prince
that we know how to appreciate blood in this

OF The traditional glories of New York hosri-
tality. They will not permit this inianuie
Prince TO be an exception. even II ne DC sPise
OF the royal tree which would not ex'e"" US
sbeitering branches over our own ha"o"'
fancy. With superhuman mashah''hiss "aa
angelic forgiveness, they pass oy All tne
wrongs rea, and imaginary, inflicted upon
The colony of New York by the Parliament of
Gra,, Rr,tain, and receive Prince of Wales
with hearts which do unto others as they
would be done by. 1t may be doubted whether
one of their own country men, however meri-
sor,ous. could command such an ovation as
they are eager y offer the representative of an
cid enemy, thereby showing an example of
generosity which the days of chivalry could
not equal, and of Christian forgiveness which
the early martyrs could not surpass.
We feel greatly ela;ed by this noble conduct
in an American city, and proud besides that
we have an arsioeracy capable of entertain
ing even Prince of Wales. We learn that
several ''palatial mansions" have already been
offered to His Paissant Highness, and that
royal breakfasts, dinners and suppers innu-
merable are awaiting the action of his majes-
tic moiars. The Fifth Avenue is said TO be in
state of unparalleled excitement, not TO say
frenzy. Nine-tenths of the Inhabitants are on
hospitable thoughts in tent and second only to
the desire OF every man to show kindness to a
poor young foreigner, is the fear that he may
ba anticipated in this humane charity by his
neighbors. Nothing is as animatiug in the
world as the social strife among the ancient
noblemen of the Empire City, for the purpose
OF carrying of the palm in hospitality and
beneyolence What a set OF arts tocratic an
gels and archaugels they are, TO be sure!-
Can any thing be nearer the charity and peace
OF heaven than the blissful rivalries OF the
Fifth Avenue for pre-eminence in yirtuous
deeds and elevated associations
We dare saw that when the Prince of
Wales becomes fairly installed in one OF their
unalatial mansions" he will have no diff
culty in imagining himself back again in one
of his hlassed mothers half a hundred town
orcountry houses and that he Will find it
hard 10 believe that the peripatetic and
,,la,horic money bags which will assemble to
do him honor have not each genealogy that
will date considerably back of the Norman
CONQUEST The social wine around hin VaH all

no possibility of his drawing it strong"
after he has once obtained taste of its
flavor. There will not be half dozen
democratic sovereigns about him who cannot
trace their heraldic honors to the darkest ages
and most opagu corners of American Chris
tendon. as he will soon discover when he be-
comes more familiar with their peculiar man =
lers and magnificent conversation. Already

Among the most remarkable demonstrations
OF lavish hospitality is that which has prompt
ed the principal of the Spingler Institute for
the education of young ladies' TO offer that
"paIatial mansion" for the residence of VIC
ToRIA's son. We have not seen his letter of
invitation, but We unders tand he shows conclu-
slyely that because the Prince has mother he
should be lodged under the same roof with the
future mothers of New York, and he solernnly
and lucidly suggests that the ''royal visit to
our shores may be made suggestive to q world
OF parents of the importance of giving to the
immortal mind of woman the privileges and
culture which her mission and influence on
earth ard her future destiny demand" This
magnificent dwelling, which Professor SPIN
GLER or SPANGLER generously offers, ain the
name and behalf OF the ladies of New York,
as their guest-chamber for VICToRIA's son.,
is said 10 have originally emanated from the
sale of BRANDRETH's Pills or SANDS Ssrsa-

chance for filtration or an elopement. How.

think that, in all probability, not one of
them will be permitted to appropriate the COW

Duke of Newcastle. from jealousy, no doubt,
of our old patrician families, Will 1 not permit
the Prince TO accept any of the "palatial man

prices royal if nothing else, and make him
pay his way like any ordinary human being.
