TIE Prince = rc.e.o:-TAe Trsssles
Our Toronto exchanges, received last
Tuesday,, present . glowing ~ count Of
the reception u thst place One would
suppose that "sll went merry as mar.
rage BELL" and that the Orange ex.
element, which has lately i, terfered
with the harmony which should mark
the intercourse of the people with their
future sovereign, Was entirely absent at
Toronto. Our New York dates, which
have special dispatches from Toronto,
dated Sunday, give q different face to
the affair. 1t appears that perhaps it
would have been better for the credit of
Toronto, had the Prince found it con-
venent not to land there at all, as be did
at Kingston. At al events be would
have escaped the actual infliction Of in
dipnities, which he had only reason to
lear would be offered him at Kingston,
and therefore wisely gave the latter
place the go-by. We make the fol-
lowing extract from the special dispatch
to the N. Y. Tines, dated Sunday, Sept.
9th:
1.-THE Duke Of Newcastle has added
fuel to the Orange fame by his course
to-day. The Orarge arch is on King
street, and thousands of people had
gathered near 1t to see the Prince pass
under it on his way to church. The
Duke ordered the coachman to 60 up
Queen street, SO that they need not see
the Objectionable picture OF King Will
liam, and the vast concourse of people.
disappointed and angry, showerod ours
es and maledictions on the sandy-cov
cred pate of his stubborn Grace.
While the Prince was in church,
where the audience jostIed and squeezed
in the most ill-manocred way, the crowd
outside and near the arch grew to the
proportions Of mob. They hooted and
yelled, calling out all manner Of insult
ing language. The principal men OF
the Orange Lodge brought down their
most emphatic insignia, and in short
time the arch displayed the banners and
flags which are generally carried in their
proc, ssions. One banner, on which was
a picture of King William, the names OF
the principal baltIe-felds and appropri-
ate notices, was hung so low that had
the Princes carriage passed under it, it
would have wiped his nose. Alderman
Carr, the President Of the Lodge, went
up on ladder to remove the banner,
but the crowd pulled the support from
under him, and he was kept from falling
heavily by policemen who caught him.
The mob, acting under the advice Of their
leaders, made rush to the Princes car
rage, intending to take the horses from
it, and compel the Prince to 60 under
the arch. When the Prince came out
some called to bring him up, and make
tim 90 under the arch.-force him un-
der; while others cheered, and some
hooted.
The Prince became pale, and turned
from the Governor to the Duke, as if
asking counsel. The Duke, stern and
strobe ahead. The police
cleared the way, and the royal party
we're again seated, when the mob gath
cred around the horses. by order of
the Duke, the coachman piled the whip;
the horses reared and plunged, and, to
the great danger of those in front, the
the cortege passed swiftly through, while
cheers, groans and Kisses fol-
lowed them.
What effect this will have cannot, of
be prophesied bat you need
not be surprised to hear of the imme-
date departure of the Royal party.
The fifteen hundred Rbbonmen of this
city have armed themselves, in read
mess for any trouble, though it is prob
ably an unnecessary proceeding. The
Romanists are behaving nobly. The
Orangemen have it all their own way.
The Catholics won't notice them, aud
the authorities are afraid to do it. The
political leaders have no control over
the Orangemeu, while the lower class
are allowing their passions fnIl swing.
The following statement was from
distinguished participant, whose name

1t in addition to the foregoing:
While the Prince was in the church
the coachman drove through the crowd
at full gallop, and halted at the east
door of the church. While the carriage
was in waiting the word passed from
one to another, "Take the horses out,
and let's drag the stnbborns under the
arch" down with the Duke,".
the coachman," "To h-ll with them
all - At this the coachman, fearing
some violence, started and drove up and
down the block three times, until the
me,tle Of his horses was fully aroused.
Presently the Prince appeared, and i'm
tut diateIy the mob, which extended
from one end of the block to the other,
surged towards the carriage, while the
horses plunged and kicked with such
violence that it was with difficulty that
the coachman could restrain them. I'm
the cheering predominated,
but the misses, groans and offensive cries
were sufficiently numerous to cause
great commotion in the minds of the
royal party. All took their seats, and
the coachman, no longer able OF desi-

gave them rein, aud at furious rate
they pushed through the shouting crowd
to The palace. Safely arrived, the
Prince and Duke thanked the coach.
