The Prince Is The grand topic of conversation.
The Prince permeates all sections OF New York
/ society. Miss F. McFlimsey is In state OF mind
imnossbe 10 describe about her g things" for the
hall. Colonel Ppeelay, Of the nth regiment, has
been oloseted with his Adjntant ever since General
/ Sanford issued orders for the division parade.
i Mr. William Keyser, who runs with ninetynine
1 hose, is of the opinion that that ustrous corps
/ will not come of second best in the torchlight
| procession. Old Mr.. Coupon of Exchange Place,
has been SO bothered with applications for tickets
to the ball, that he has snubbed all the young men
in the Office more severely than ever before, and
has likewise been heard to express his wish that
| the Prince was in a place where some Of his an
cestors are undoubtedly warm and comfortable.
/ Colonel Cacoethes soribendi, who has killed .
great many newspapers in his time, and now lives
exclusively on the dead-head principle, is in .
4 high state of indignation because the committee
1 have not asked him to the ball. 1t is the deliber-
ste opinion of the Colonel that the affair will be
wretched failure, and from his intimate acquaint
ance with the British aristocracy, he is quite sat
Il
the whole thing slow because he will not be there
/ to give IL a proper tone. Madame Jupe-Char-
mantle, just from Paris is in beatifc condition Of
mind. She has more orders than she can fill, and
she drives the young ladies in her establishment
great deal harder than You work your chattels
4 down in New Orleans.n The women's things E
are to be perfectly lovely, that's settled matter
Mr.. Bob. Patent-Leather, who leads the German
occasion, and is an important parsonage.
The celebrated Beau Hickman has come even

/ is properly cared for. Beau puts up in front of
! the Metropolitan, and is doing fair business.
Then we have the bowling and wailing and terri
| bly, disappointed outsiders, who have not managed
| to get tickets for the ball. Good gracious! how
| they do cuss,r Romeo, when he was sent away
\ from his Juliet wasn't q circumstance. But there
are tickets enough to be had if people see fit to
pay the price. In spite of oil the regulations and
restrictions and other stuff and nonsense of the
| immense committee, invitations are freely
offered for sale. Very rich people, people in the
first circles--do not hesitate to speculate in this
way. saw, last evening; letter from lady who
is high up in Japoncadom offering to sell her
ticket for sI00. That is about the market rate for

ciusiveness of the affair is all bosh and like every
thing else here, it comes down to matter Of
| money after ALL 1t is going to cost something,
too. The committee can't get off with less than
600.
Tomorrow is the eyentful day when the Prince
win beam on this delighted community. He will
embark at Amboy on the cutter Harriet Lane,
Quilt for the purpose of relieving vessels in dis
tress, but used as sort Of royal yacht for j. B.
and his friends,) and SO be conveyed to the Bat
terry The cutter will go outside SO that the Prince
may have some fortiter IN re before he gets the
Mayors suauiter in mode. (Oh shame ETC., where,
etc., Then the mlingtary," in large numbers,
will parade him to the City Hall, where F. Wood
will do the honors. +. w. sent to the Aldermen
an invitation to join him in receiving the young
man, but they have been SO desperately snubbed
about the whole affair, that they concluded to
stand on their dignity, mighty slim footing that)
and SO they treated the matter very coldly. They
say they will not vote the money for the expenses
and so +. w. will have to pay the bills ont of his
own pocket. Not he The Court knows herself
too well for that II the Aldermen refuse to pay
the bills for the Prince, then the Mayor will see
them blessed before he signs their little Japanese

The Aldermen are not the only Disguised parties
apropos to the Prince. The FISHERY, as Macaulay
terms the sons Of the Emerald Isle, have got their
backs up and there has been an Indignation meet.
ing of the Hibernian members of the militia. They
protest, in terms moro forcible than grammatical
against the reception Of the Prince say that it is
countenancing monarchy and all that sort of thing
and declare that they will not shoulder musket
on that day. But ! apprehend the rebels are few
and far between. Pat is too fond Of show to lose
such fine chance as this, and would be willing
to bet that the Prince will be eheered Justify
by Irish than by Yankee throats; however, we
shall see.
There has been the devils own row over at
Philadelphia about the operate performance which
is TO be given tonight in honor of the Prince,
The whole thing was shrewd dodge of stra-
koseh,s, aided by that dear, simple, innocent,
Gran, whom you may have met.
They induced large number of the leading citi-
zens' Of Philadelphia to append their names to
a letter to Lord Lyons, said letter inviting the
Prince to attend the opera in Philadelphia. The
paipable absurdity of hundred gentlemen inviting
another gentleman to 60 to a theater over which
the committee had no sort of CONTROL does not
seem to have struck anybody. The Prince, through
Lord Lyons, accepted the invitation, and then
Grau commenced to work the thing up. The
g committee y held private meetings and excluded
the local reporters That was for the mystery Of
the thing; an immense attraction in place like
Philadelphia, where sensations are rare In order,
however, to keep the thing before the public, full
details of all the arrangements were transmitted
to the New York Herald, and thence copied
into the Philadelphia papers, the editors of which
were naturally indignant at being forestalled abeut
their own affairs by an outside journal. They
began to let out on the committee, who imme-
diately placed the blame on the management the
real committeeman then the batteries were
opened upon Ullman and Bennett, who had, hor
rible to tell, obtained o private box. It was,
however a teapot tempest after all The man
