The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-06-27

Our nelgnDOrs IN Canada are deIlghled with
the prospect of welcoming the Prince of Wales,
but are seriously troubled about the cost of enter
tanning him. They foraf-no men more 90
but they vince at putting their loyalty to
that practical test which abstracts money from
their purses. Scotch, for the larger part by
descent, they have all the thrifty habits of the
race from which they sprung. They would
rather, at any time, fight FOR the Crown, than
provide substitutes OF furnish the sinews of war.
They DESTROYS of receiving their Prince in a
manner BETTING his rank and their own respect
for their future King; but, with characteristic
prudence, they want to know to what extent they
to be called upon to foot the bills. If the
streets of Quebec, and Montreal, and Toronto,
and Hamilton, are TO be hung with decorations
in his honor, it is manifestly proper in their
opinion, that all this garniure shall be of kind
which may be subsequently applied to useful pur-
poses. If an illumination takes place, provision
must be made for saving the candIe-ends. eve
'rything," we are told, ''will be done in a
''liberal spirit, but also as inexpensively as

in measure, ''merely temporary''-by

is given that the surplusage of "choice wines
which, we suppose, are cassed with the perishable
commodities-wil ever find its way back to the
vendor; and as for ''the endless etcaeras, which,

There has, moreover, arisen another diff
Guilty. When they have gotten their Prince,
they are puzzled to know what to do with him.
There are but four objects of special interest to
stranger in all Canada. The first is the citadel of
Quebec. The second, the Victoria Bridge. The
third, the Crystal Palace, which is altogether d.
minutive affair, when compared with the CRYSTAL
Palace atSydenham, near London; and the fourth,
and grandest of all-Niagara. At Toronto, the
seat of Government for Upper Canada, where 10y
atty is at white heat and money hard to ex-
tract, the municipal authorities have been in
formed by the Secretary of the Governor General
that the Government intends to make suitable
preparations for the accommodation of his Royal
Highness and his suite; but docs not intend to
place "any sum of money at the disposal of
''any local authority for that purpose" In con-
eequancn of this announcement the citizens of
Toronto have consented to be taxed to the amount
of twelve thousand dollars, TO carry out their
part of the programme which calls for salute
of wecome-an address by the Mayor-a process
sion--a general illumnaton-an inauguration of
University Parks display of the ROYAL Yacht
Club, and floral tefe. Four triumphal arches
are to be erected on the line of route indicated
for the procession; and private houses and public
buildings are to be decorated with banners and
trophies-though what the ''trophies'' are to
consist of, unless it be the funnel-pipe and figure
head of the steamer Caroline, it is impossible for
us to imagine. Some nconsiderate but enthusi-
astic councilman of Toronto, recently carried that
respectable body by storm, and in doing so,
plunged it into dilemma He brought in
resolution to change the name of the 'Fair Green
into that of the ''Prince's Park" and it was not
until after the resolution had been adopted, that
sober second thought recalled the fact, that the
popular and ancient name of 'Fair Green was
''Galiows Green and to convert "Gallows
''Greeng INTO Princes Park was scarcely in
accordance with 1.-THE fitness of things" There
has been much trouble about this lapse ever since.
On the whole, however, we are inclined 10 be.
lieve that the reception of the Prince will be most
cordial, and that it will strengthen the Canadians
in their allegiance to the British Crown. That II
will partake less of the demonsrative character
than would be the case in the UNITED STArrs VOC
may reasonably enough infer from what we know
of the podding, prudent habits, and less impusive
temperament of our Northern neighbors. Their
greatest desire, evidently, is to make no display
that does not come fairly within their means; and
they are equally solicitous to do nothing-as one
