Il
Democrat, and Other Incidents.
Yesterday, no doubt, would have been
considered charming in England; but here il
was regarded rs extremely suici lal and
,uperlatively miserable. IL was cloudy
chilly, muddy, murky, raw, rainy; and fit
did not rain cats and dogs, the sole reason
was, because cats and dogs would not come
down in such detestabe weather. Yesterday.
indeed, was a complete London day, "gottcn
up" regardless of expense, by Nature, in
honor of A. E. Guelph etas 18. The pc
culiar-proboscised boy must have been de-
lighted with the last day of September, and
we learn that he arose fully four and half
minutes earlier than usual, and was SO in
spired by the occasion, that he drew on his
boots without the aid of any thing but stiff
cocktail. How like Hingland" said Albert
Edward "How like Providence to do the
handsome to the heir-apparent to the En-
glish throne. l respect Him-He is the King
of Kings"
BREAKFAST AND DEPARTURE FOR CHURCH.
Baron Renfrew partook of his breakfast
future historians must remember this in
teresting fact; for no event of his life will be
more Notwithstanding his egg before he
ate it, and transferring its contents to his
mouth with a spoon-let it be borne in
mind, with a spoon.
After his matutinM repast, he attired him
himself for church, not forgetting that hor
rible nOndescript bead-covering, supposed
to have been worn ty Adam on his first
spree, and to have been battered by Mrs
Adam-usually called EVEN the vain eE-
fort to reduce it to the form, popularity styled
cocked-hat.
A crowd of four or five hundred persons,
Notwithstanding the rain, had assembled
about the private entrance of the Burnet to
see the Prince come out, and it was with
difficulty he was induced to attempt to force
his way through the enthusiastic toad-eaters.
He summoned his resolution, however, and
started.
UNIQUE INTERVIEW.
On reaching the lower corridor, some half
tipsy fellow went up to the Baron, and clap
ping him on the shoulder, said: "Hallo AL.
how are you, old boy-won't you take glass
of lager2 Don't say word; but let us 90
down stairs and take nice quiet little horn
TO the memory of Washington, and the
health of the Star-Spangled Banner. Never
mind that old fogy, Cooking at the Duke of
Newcastle, who was gazing in wonderment
at at this strange prroceedingG we'n give him
the go-by. NUNS the word"
The Baron, who could not help smiling
very good-naturedly at this extraordinary de.
monstration, acted, under the circumstances
very seusibly. He thanked the irrpressible
Democrat for his invitation, and saying he
had not time to drink just then, passed on,
and taking the arm of the Duke, was in a
minute more in the carriage, all but the hat
that could not be gotten into the door-it
was removed and placed in two vehicles to
follow the wearer.
THE PRINCES CHURCH EXPERIENCE.
No less than five or six hundred people
were gathered about st. Johns Church, cor
ner of Seventh and Plum-streets-they had
been keeping watch there fer several hours
in the rain-and when the Prince and his
suite were driven up, a rush was made to-
ward his Royal Highness. He either thought
they intended to pick his. pockets or mob
him, and called for his hat; knowing if he
put that on his head, he was safe. No one
would dare attack him when surmounted by
that capital paragon of horror.
There's such divinity doth hedge
ashocking bad hat no one but would tremble
before its amorphous presence.
The police went to the rescue, and the
Prince was put in pew without peculation
or bloodshed. All eyes were on him as he
entered, and he was evidently annoyed. He
should have tied sheet around his nose
No one would have recognized him then
without bis hat.
THE EFFECT OF THE sERMoN.
Bishop McIlvaine delivered an impressive
and able discourse on -, taking his text
from large work entitled s'The Bible" The
text was-we forget; but as we know the
Prince don't recollect it, we do not Consider
it our duty to remember.
Albert Edward bowed his head, as the
sermon proceeded, in token of submission to
the Divine will and human drowsiness. He
may not make much of king, but he's
capital sleeper. He is endeavoring, we are
informed, from his admiration of Dickens,
to prove that "Joe," in PicklOick, was no
mere creation Of the authors brain.
The choir sang most appropriately:
''wake, sinner, from thy sleepl'
Albert Edward did not awake, however,
but the Duke elbowed him sharply, and the
Prince answered, "Where's my hat" and
water" He was aroused ,fnally, and, serv-
ice over, departed, brewster, if not a
better boy.
no MORE CHURCH FOR THE PRINCE.
The Prince was to attend Church in the
evening; but he had had enough. No argu-
ment nor entreaty could induce him to 20
again. He remained at the hotel, smoking
and sleeping, and declaring, like "Jerry
Blossom" in the play, he wanted to go home.
No wonder, poor wretch he has been much
afflicted.
FEW WORDS MORE OF THE PRINCES PERSONAL
APPEARANCE. o. ~
AlDert EDWARD is, we are Dound TO say,
after repeated observations, very homely-
he resembles an Aztec on large scale. As
the Indian said of his mother, after presenta-
ton to her-he "don't handsome much"
He no more resembles the pictures taken for
him, than he does the Egyptian Sphynx.
There is not a young man of his years in the
city of refined parentage, that is not three
times less Unlocking than he. He can't
help being homely; and it is fortunate ugli-
ness is no crime; else he would be hanged
without jury.
.. THE R. Il. COSTUME.
The Prince does not know how to dress.
Beau Brummel would doubt his descent from
George w. His clothes are vile. A num-
Der of our young men of fashion wish to
know who is his tailor. They desire, when
they next go to London, whom to avoid.
THE PRINCES DEPARTURE.
The Prince will leave the city this morn
ing for Pittsburg at nine o'clock. We pity
him for tht bores to which he has been sub
ject in our city, all the more because the end
is not yet. New York will finish him, we
fear. Peace go with him-and his hat re-
main behind
