 | PRINCE OF WALEs.-At 10 o'clock, on Friday rlast, the Prince and suit, the President, members oI cabinet, and several ladies' embarked on the Harriet Lane for Mt. Vernon. The Prince and party were very obseryant on the way, and after thelr arrival the Prince stood reverently un- covered in the room in which Washington died l house, the party proceeded to the tomb | The Marine Band had arrived before them and concealed by neighborng thicket, begun playing dirge composed by the leader. The scene was most impressive. The party with un- covered heads. ranged themselves in front of the tomb so simple yet 50 grand in its associations and looked ill through the iron grated door at the sarcophagus which contains the remains of the Father of his Country. Then retiring few paces. the Prince, the President and the royal party grouped in front, silently contemplated the Tomb of Washington.
 ! The Prince planted horse chestnut tree on a neighborng mound, in conlmemoration of his 1 visit.
 Preparations for the New York reception are actively progressing. It has been decided that the Mayor and Common Council, in connection with the military, will receive him at Castle Gar den upon his arrival Thursday, the llth. The military, 1t Is expected will number between six and seven thousand. The Prince is to receive a marching salute near the Park and to be escor- ted to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where he will review the division. On Friday evening the grand ball is to be given in the Academy of Mu- sic. It will undoubtedly be tho most gorgeous affair ot the kind ever given in this country- After careful measurement of the building, and the comparison of this with the expanse which would be covered by seventeen hundred and fif- teen ladies in full dress, it has been decided to reduce the number about onefourth from tho number of ladies first intended.
 The Cincinnati C0mme1riM thus describes the appearance of the Prince at the bali in that city:
 The Prince did not of course select his part ncrs. as such proceeding would have been at l tended witk,iiliicultios but they were selected for him by the maIinrAi,S The lalipS who danrofI with him displayed much seIfpossesson and grace. Only one of them succeeded in having lively chat with Fl. R Ill., whose meek dignity was not at all calculated to promote vivacity. though his eye had a faint glimmer of mischief Ills smile IS very engaSing, and he looked a few times as though he felt the reverse of uncomfort- able. He was little rerplexed however about what to do with the ladies after he had danced with them. The Prince of Wales leaves lady wi'h.waom he dances, at once to the care of her irIeftfs. but Baron Renfrnw could not do that lie had to restore his partners to their parents or other escorts, and it must be admitted he was a little awkward about it. This was the first ball he had attended in the United States, and the sensation of lady 5 hand resting OH his arm was novel. The young gentleman was dressed richly but simply. He wore an exGli:;itely fitting black dress coat, narrow white crayat, with a small tight knot and short bows and dainty standing collar with slightly rounded corners, a light mot white) vest with small round gold but tons. black pants, cut easy and flowing below the knees. and white kid gloves, (No. s, at least )-- single strand of fine gold chain crossed his breast in front of his vest. and the bosom of his shirt worked in narrow plaits, was fastened with small plain pearl studs. His light hair slightly inclined to curl, is cut to show the lobes of his ears, and neatly parted before and behind.
