AMERICAN INsrITUroHs.-Th London Times is i'm
pressed with the lesson taught by reception of
the Prince of Wales. 1t says:
''The fatigues and duties Of his journey cannot
have left the youthful Prince much time for retlec
ton, but he must have compared the scene before
him with those with which be is familiar on the
continent Of Europe--in Italy, for instance, in
Germany-and must have felt the main cause of all
this happiness and all this progress is that liberty
and self-government the dearly priced inheritance
of the nation which he is to be called to rule,
which they have carried with them to these vast
countries. The institutions of America differ from
ours, and We have never hesitated to express
preference for the constitution under which
live; but that must not prevent our doing full jus
tice to the merits of a nation in whose fame we
claim common interest, or admitting that their
institutions, though not to be coveted by men who
have the happiness to live in England in the reign
of Queen Victoria are far superior to any that are
to be found in any other country except that from
which they sprang. The reception of the Prince of
Wales at New York, where hundreds of thousands
of c0mbined-without soldiers to preserve
order, on the Continent, without police to pre-
serve order, among us-to offer to the heir of
our Crown reception the most fattering to him
and the most honorable to themselves that can be
imagined is in itself lesson to every one to whose
hands power is or may be committed of the wisdom
of obtaining the cooperation of the people to
complish the ends of government. Happy is the
Prince who governs nation which has learned in
the ordinary affairs of life to govern ITSELF that
be its own police its own army, that can frame its
own laws, and recognizes the duty of obeying them
without fear and without compulsion. OF the ma
chinery Of Government the Prince could of course
see little or nothing; but of the external manifesta
tons of the two forms of popular sovereignty which
exist side by side in Canada and the United States,
he has seen more than any one person ever saw be-
fore. We hope and believe that the lesson will not
be lost, and that the future King of England will
bring to the throne of his ancestors, whenever
Providence may call him to it, a wide and generous
sympathy with his felow-creatures, and noble
confidence in the destinies of race which EFFORTS,
in the East and in the West the wonder of man
kind at institutions which they cannot initiate, and
at progress and prosperity which they find it i'm
possible to attain"
School TEACHER RETURNED TO THE NORTH
The Boston Transcript has full particulars of the
return of Mr.. W. c. Wood, the "Yankee" school
teacher, whose arrival at Boston, from South
Carolina, was noticed yesterday. The facts are as
follows
There came passengers on the South Carolina
Mr. VIM. C. Wood and Mr.. Blodgett, produce
dealer. Mr.. Wood, it appears, went South for the
purpose of teaching. He was graduate at Har
ward College. He was destined for Four Mile
Branch, Barnweli District, South Carolina. He
took passage in the cars from Charleston for his
destination, in company with Mr.. Blodgett. On
the way, Inadvertently he expressed his preference
for Lincoln as President. An individual was no.
ticed nteaty listening to his conversations and at
the next stopping place. where the cars tarried for
three-quarters of an hour, he was waited upon by
committee, who questioned him as to his politics,
but he declined to give them any satisfaction:
Mr.. W God thought no more of the questioning to
which he had been subjected, and continued on his
journey. On arriving at -Four Mile Branch the
place found to be terribly excited, telegraph
c despatch having probably informed the citizens
of the opinions OF the new conner among them
He was Immediately waited upon by committee,
who told him that it would be impossible to permit
his stay in the place, and advising him to leave as
his best course. They, however, did not insist
his immediate departure and offered to defrav the
entire expense of his return to the city.
Mr.. Wood concluded that he would retrace his
steps without delay. He experienced no insults in
the cars on the way to Charleston, except from a
few rough customers, as an officer had been provi-
ded to protect him. On reaching that city, at the
suggestion of friends, he occupied apartments in
the Guard house. the night previous to the sailing
the steamer, that being the safest retreat during
the existing excitement. The next morning an
officer of the city came down with MIR. Wood to
the steamer, and put him safely on board. The
produce dealer, far could learn, effected
the object of his Southern visit.

The Princes VIslT TO BALTlMoRE.-With these
few remarks to serve the text of my narrative,
must turn aside for instant to notice the pro-
gress through Baltimore and Philadelphia. At the
former city only halt Of one night was made, but
it was sufficiently long to give fresh proofs-if
proofs were needed-of the extraordinary warmth
and cordality with which the Prince has been well
coined all through the United States With the
exception of the rudeness at the visit to the capitol
at Richmond, there has been no place at which his
reception has not been enthusiastic. At Detroit
and St. Louis it was rather cnarseiy demonstrated
by the crowd, it is true. Bat, even when most In
trusiye it was after ALL kindly meant, aud intend
ed in its rough way to do honor to the occasion.
At BaItimore " hieh not year ago was the most
riotous and disorderly city in the Unon) the quiet
good order of the crowd and their cheering tokens
of respect and welcome were beyond all expecta'
ton, and certainly must have given the Prince
most favorable impression of the people of that fine
city. "
