THE PUScruALrrY OF RoYALrY.-A remarka-
BILE peculiarly in the tour Of the Prince OF
Wales through the British Provinces Is the
punctuality with which all his movements are
made. Before he LEFT England the programme
Of his journey was laid down, and the time
fixed for his arrivals and departures at the DIFF
ferent points, and In no instance has there been
the slightest deviation from that time table. If
we make one exception, and that was that he
was announced to arrive at ST. Johns, N. f.. on
the 25th of June, and the feet arrived there on
the Gath, having crossed the Atlantic in four
teen days In every other instance he has been
exactly up to time, neither too soon nor too
late. On the programme we find his arrival at
Gsspe set down for the 18th August and our
Geographic despatch proclaimed his arrival at
that place on Sunday last, the l2.h inst
Some Of the punc'usli,y observed by royal

FUSION AND CoNFusIoN.-In Georgia TIE Dou-
glas and Bell men have put up fusion ticket
In Kentucky, Douglas men, Bell men and black
republicans co-operated in the late State cleo.
ton in Maryland the republicans have put up
an electoral ticket of their own, in order to a.
sist in breaking down the Bell party. In the
late Missouri election Breckenridge men and
Douglas men co-operated against Bell men and
black republicans. In New Jersey the Brock
inridge men and Bell men have fused upon
common electoral ticket, while the Douglas fac
tion have set up ticket of their own Couldn't
fuse with the Breckinridge disuDionists" O
any terms. In Pennsylvania nominal fusion has
beer agreed upon between the Breckenridge and
Douglas democracy, but some of the Douglas
men have kicked out of the traces. In New
York fusion and confusion are nearly equally
mixed, but confusion will probably carry the
day. Gen. Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs, the
right hand man of Willard Fillmore, has lately
made flaming speech for Lincoln and victo-
ry," and yet he still exercises the authority Of
calling State Convention of the subordinate
councils Of the late great American party
1t Will thus be seen that our political parties,
here, there and everywhere, are inexplicably
mixed up, and that the various elements oppos-
ed to Lincoln are Sighting more violently
against each other than against the commoa
enemy. Who could have supposed that one
little experiment in Congress for the sweet voice
of the South could have done all this mischief.
And yet the whole of it may be traced to that
little Presidential experiment of the Kansss-Ns-
braska BILL With that act began the dissolu-
ton of the democratic party and the American
party, and the uprising of this present oversha-
dowing anti slavery republican party. But the
end is not yet We are only approaching the
beginning of the end for the indications of the
day are that this revolutionary condition of par
ties is but the prelude to the most tremendous
revolutionary events.

An INTERESTING QUESTION FOR SH1powNfRs.-
A very curious case, which cannot be devoid ef
interest to the owners and masters of ships, &C
Cured recently in the port of Bremerhaven to
the American bark Sarah Park. According to
law o seaman voluntarily discharged by ship
master in foreign port is entitled to three
months wages, and the United States Consul is
required to demand the same from the captain
before furnishing his clearance papers. In this
prisoned by the municipal authorities of Bre-
merbaven for wouDding citizen Of that place
while drunk, by pushing him of the plank, and
the captain Of the bark after fruitless appli-
cation for his release, was compelled to 90 to
eea without him. The United States Consular
perior, the United States Consul at Bremen, de.
manded and obtained from Captain Pendletoa
the master of the bark, three months wages for
the imprisoned seaman, and twelve dollars due
to him at the time of bis arrest which sum the
shipmaster paid under protest, because unless
he complied with the demand he could not OBJ
tain his papers from the Consulate.
On arriving In England, 1t appears that the
captain laid the case before Mr.. Campbell, the
United States Consul at London, and Mr. Davy,
the Consul at Newcastle-on-Ty both of WHOM
gave as their opinion that the demand for extra
wages in behalf of an imprisoned seaman would
affect ship unjustly, and should not have been
made. The case is peculiar one, and we think
should be laid before the Secretary of State,
and the opinion of the Attorney General as 70
the Interpretation Of the law be obtained upon
it. 1t is at best question Of doubtful justice;
and it appears to us that if seaman can obtain
three months wages, and procure q release from
bis obligations, upon deserving his ship in
foreign port, by committing some slight breach
Of "a municipal law, involving perhaps merely
nominal penalty, 1t may be very hard upon
ship captains and owners.

The MODERN GREEKS IN THE YANKEE
AruESs.-we hear that the Puritan city IL on
the tiptoe Of expectation with reference to the
advent In Boston of the Benicia Boy and his at
tendant apostles of muscular Christianity.
This suspicious event Is to take place on Friday
next, and it is evidently regarded as most i'm
portant. The distinguished modern Greek will
hold bis levees in q temple of art, the Boston
Music Hall; his gladiatorial arena will be pitch
ed over against the statue of Beethoven, and
the Isthmian games will take place directly I'M
der the august nose of the great composer,
whose works cannot be properly illustrated
outside Of the Trimountain City. We presume
that q select company of musicians will per-
form the Ninth Symphony between rounds, and
the Handel and Haydn Society might
give the "Hallelujah" chorus as q finale
to the show. President FELTON, should
be on hand with a salutatory in Greek, and, as
all the Bostonians understand Latin, there will
be no difficulty in obtaining Ciceronian vale
dictory. There are poets, too, on every cor
ner, 90 that peans are as plenty as pork and
beans. Thus the affair may be made truly
classical and Bostonian-the terms are synony-
nous.
In order still further to maintain the antique
forms, we perceive that the boy" is to hold q
levee especially for ladies and children. There
is to be o strictly crinoline Muscular Matt
memo men are to be admitted on any ac-
count to this delightful affair for the fair. 1t Is
related in ancient history that pstrician ladies
were among the most constant attendants at
the Olympic games, and in Rome they watched
the death throes of the gladiators with eager
eyes and parted lips, when strong men sbud-
dered and turned away. Juvenal satirizes a
noble Roman lady for throwing herself at the
head of fighter who was old, ugly and bat
tered almost into small bits. The women of
modern times have degenerated from the an.
tique muscular standard and faint at the
sight of a little blood. But now that
the new era of muscular civilization has CON-

The CHEvALIER WLBB REGULATES THE CUR
The 7yibame doctrine of free love- as well as
free soil and free negroes, as set forth in the
famous Quincy letter, has created no little seu-
sation among the republicans The journals
comment upon it very freely, and, IA general
thing seem to think that Hon. Massa Greeley
has come out rather too strongly IN favor Of the
Fourrierite and free love section of the party
The Chevaler Webb Is in an awful state of
mind about it. Our military and diplomatic
contemporary takes upon himself the task of
keeping the morals Of his political associates
in good order. Although he is eminently fitted
by age, experience and associations for the
Office of Mentor, yet such is the depravity of
the young scamps, like Greeley Co., that
they only laugh at the old chap, and go
on in the paths of wickedness just the
same as ever. The Chevalier is so
terribly cut up by this Quincy letter, and
80 annoyed by the damaging effect which ii will
have upon the party prospects, that he loses his
temper and scolds away like an enraged fish
wife, calling the Tribune philosophers filthy and
licentous fellows, and declaring that nice, clean
republicans of the Courier school will have
nothing to do with such naughty people, who
prostitute the press, and cause the upright
Webb to come to grief. We can see why the
Chevalier sets up this terrific howl. He hopes
by abusing his confreres of the Tribune to re-
lieve the party from the stigma of its pestife
rous social doctrines. But this sort of thing
will not work. Such affairs as that of the Cur
ney people come as the logical results of the
doctrines accepted by very large proportion
of the republican party. They also accept Lin
coin as the representative of the new social
movement by which the overthrow of all laws
which interfere with entire freedom of action
for men and women-white and blacks to
be practically initiated. The fact stands boldly
forth in the writings and speeches of the radi-
cal aboliionists, in which category Lincoln
must be reckoned, and the TIib,me's publica-
ton of the Quincy letter is only piece of cor
roborative testimony. The Tribune has been
true to the tenets of its party, while the Cheva-
lier Webb endeavors to cloak them under veil
of morality altogether too fimsy to deceive
any body for a single moment
