A GLIMPSE BEHIND THE TIMES. THE
London Times is rather pettish with Mr.
Bright for inuendos of the latter pom It's mo-
ttves In opposing Mr.. Gladstones paper mea-
sure The times intimates that if any body
suppoSes that ii is unwilling To buy paper
cheaper, anybody is much mistaken; but
claims sufficient disinterestedness to advocate
the paper makers in nterest even against its
own. This is ell tirely credible. The Times ex-
pressly refuses 10 tell its secrets, even on the
provoca ton OF Mr.. Brights assumptions but
gives us one interesting fact "A reduction OF
only five per cent. in the price OF print
ing paper" IL states, would be $1,000 per an
mum IN the pockets Of our proprletors." The
rrin ting paper used in the Times oftice than,
reaches the enormous sum of nearly fl5p, 900,

The PRINCE OF WALES AND HIS SUB-
JsCTs-1he Prince Drirsn OF.-The Prince of
Wales was forced to leave Kingston, Canada,
without landing. He sailed for Be!leyiIle
where the Orangemen again turned out to re-
ceIye him with banners and arches and he
again refused TO land and directly after sailed
| for Colmey. AT Toronto the Orangemen have
determined not to interfere with the process
| sion, and it is likely H. r. II. will be able 10
go ashore there. A dispatch from Kings ton
says:
Many comments were made during the -ere
made last night of not particularly com mpli-
mentary character. On the playing Of Yam
kee Doodle" and cheers for the President of
the United States, some one called out THE
| Orangemen can walk in the States any how
| in spite Of all the Princes in the world" Just
| in the grey of the morning large party went
down 10 the Princes boat, and as significant
| OF their feelings, had the band play the MAR
seIlles Hymn after which they dispersed
with three cheers for the Orangemen.
The Prince has taken every opportunity to
bow to his future subjects who went out in
excursion boats, and afforded them every on
portunity to see him by sitting on deck all
day, resting his head wearly upon his hand
occasionally rubbing his eyes with his hand
karchief, and appearing greatly discomposed
When the school children, in Il large boa.
| Gang for him astevening, he repea tedly waved
his handkerchief, and at last burst iito tears
| These evidences OF the Princes feelings are
not lost on the people. who believe him 10 be
constrained by the Duke and Governor Gen
| eral in his refusal to land.
The Kingston flnally started off at three
O'Clock, aud was saluted by the forts as she
steamed up The bay. To be sure that the
Prince did not land above the city, the
Orangemen accompanied the steamer some
distance, walking along the shore and holding
up banners until the vessel was out of sight
Then they held mass meeting in the public
parade ground, about three thousand being
present. At least ten thousand wore the re-
gala yesterday, but fatigue aud other causes
had thinned the ranks to-day.

FROM THE SANDWICH IsLANDs.-On the 14th
of July Captain Hunt and the officers Of the
United States ship Levant, accompanied by
the United States Commissioner, were pre-
scented to his Majesty the King, In the au-
dience chamber al the palace. The next day
the King, accompanied by his ministers, yisited d
The Levant, and was received with the GUS
tomary honors. In the biennial report of the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs TO he Legislature,
we find The following touching the affairs
with this country:
Nothing has occurred for many years to dis
turh the Kings emipentiy friendly relations
with the United States. From the table which
l append, you will see that The shipping and
commercial interests in this kingdom of their
citizens preponderate over those of all iher
nations. 1t is therefore essential to our pros
perity that we should continue forever to be
in the most friendly relations with the United
States, and that our mutual commercial in ter
course should be placed on the most liberal
footing compatible with the fiscal wants OF
both nations.

THE FLOYD GUN.-A CORES pondent of the
New York Times writes from Old Point Com
fort tVa.) that on Tuesday last the great
"Floyd Gun" was fired for the first time.
The first shell, weighing 800 pounds, was
thrown fifteen hundred and forty yards a. an
angle Of five degrees-and striking the sand
bounced seven hundred and fifty yards fur
ther The charge of powder was twenty
pounds. The second shell. weighing 32s pounds,
was thrown something upwards OF four mi les
on the wafer. at a angle of forty degrees, and
with a charle of twenty five pounds of pow
der. The powder with which this gun is fired
is IN grains of about one inch cube. The re-
port is not SO loud that made by the ten i
inch guns on the ramparts, but the whistling
of the SHELL through the air is terrific. The
shell thrown npon the water was forty-two
seconds in the air before striking. The
Floyd Gum is pronounced success, aud
there seems to be no doubt it will reach a
lange of six or eight miles. 1t weighs 49,099
pounds, and cost in its casting $4,000.
