Az viii be seen bys very interesting tele

Prince Of Wales has concluded his tour in The
loyal Canadas and landed at Detroit, the mos

The fact that the Prince travels IS Baron Ren

from giving him right roya. welcome; and we
have no doubt that the same cordial greeting
awaits him in every city which he may visit
during his American tour. 1t Is true that we

The Princes Canadian career has made him
already very popular In the United States AT
the latest ball at Hamilton, G. W., he waa the
ge7est of the gay, dancing continually, acting
as floor manager, correcting the tlunders of the
awkward dancers, and Strengthening cut the
enarled sets His fow Of animal spirits seems
ireyhaustihle, and be enters into every eport
that IL proposed with undininished ardor
His Canadian experience reminds us forci-
bly, Of the stories told Of the IN sdcap Hal,
Prince Of Wales whom Shakspere made the
boon companion Of fat Jack Falstaf The pre-.
sent Prince seems to resemble the hero Of
Shrewsbury II his gocd points only-his gal
liant bearing, chivalrovs admiration for ladies
fair, and universal kindness TO all about him
Happily, the times have changed since the I fifth
Harry's time. and men have changed with them
Princes have become more democratic. and
are no longer registering blades, but pleasant
dashing young fellows, who court the breeze
Of popular favor and are careful to dc every
thing to conciliste it. Then, the Prince has
been in the best hands TIE Duke of New
castle, and the other noblemen and gentlemen
Of the suite, have performed their delicate du-
ties in the best possible manner. Nothing could
have been more admirable than the Dukes
course in the matter Of the Orargenen. He
was courteous but firm, and kept bis temper
under the most trying circumstances. He has
been especially attentive to citizens Of the
United States who have approached the Prince,
and we hear from the most reliable ieources,
public and private, that the manner Of the
whole party, especially at Niagara, ives eminent
ly agreeable to al. Of cur people with whom
the Prince came in contact. We have heard
many pleasant anecdotes Illustrative Of this
fact.
We have TO doubt that the tour OF the Prince
in this county will be equally gratifying to all
parties concerned. It IL only little more
than six weeks since the vice.regal party landed
upon American coil, and in that time the Prirce
has had better inside view Of human nature
IL ak its various aspects, thar he could have
obtained in Europe in six years, and be will
pick up o vast amount Of information about
men and things which lie could net get IL any
other way.
In the United States the Princes visit il the
grand topic Of discussion. The ladies are espe-
riaiiy Interested L. the matter FsoU Detroit
and Chicago and st. Louis all the way round
10 New York, Boston and Portland there IL an
extended circle Of crinoline divinities, all Of
whom are waiting with the liveliest emotions
the arrival Of the Prince, who seems to be quite
as fond CT tie pretty girls IS they are Of him
In the metropolis the grad ball lie, Of course,
the coming sensation. The members Of the
committee cent &c Washington to invite the
President have returned, and, as we under
stand, II IN doubtful whether Mr.. Buchanan Can
como 10 the ball, but 1t Ia unidentified that cine
Of the ladies of his family will be present The
question as &c vic should open the ball with
the Prince gives the committee gced deal Of
unnecessary trouble. The discussion Is alto
gether absurd and useless. At every place Il
Canada where ball has taken place the Prince
has danced frst with the wife or daughter Of 0
local Official. That is the proper rule &c TO
adopted here, and therefore there VIII be nc
occasion TO send 10 Washington for partner
for the Prince. He should dance Grst with the
daughter of the Mayor or the wife or daughter
o. the Governor or the State. 1t would be sin
g1lar, indeed, II the sovereign State Of New
York, with its immense population, could not
find partner for any quantity Of Princes. In
that case we had better suspend the perform
ance Of the ar, Terpsichorean altogether. After
the frat quadril.e the Prince viii undoubtedly
be able to select his own partners without the
assistance Of the Eenb ere CT tie Chamber Of
Commerce.
The Prince has heretofore selected the pref
tie. girls he could find; so ell the young and
handsome ladies will get as near to him as pos
sihle, in order that they may not be over
looked. while the antique dowagers will
tand back ands give the girls chance.
The matter Of the Princes first partner il net
the only one In which some Of the committee
have blundered; and unless these gouctfriss
are corrected we shall feel compelled to allude
TO them more particularly In day or two.
