closed arena on the wharf, by the side Of the
Mayor. can't say that / was at all disap-
pointed in bis personal appearance, apart
from bis uniform. As q young ensign just
assigned to a regiment, he might have passed
muster, but in the uniform Of Colonel Of
the Royal Life Guards, the disparity in ap-
pearance and position was little too trying
Tor American eyes. Il was in violation Oi
the ''eternal fitness Of things, as old Square
toes was in the habit OF saying, under less
provocation Il looked very oddly TO see by
his side Msj. Gen. Trollope, young man for
his rank, who was promoted for bis skill and
gallantry during the war in Crimea. An
other false feature in the reception was, as
in others which had previously taken place,
in bis making replies written for him by the
Duke Of Newcastle, or some other member OF
his "traveling cabinet His carriage and
movements were graceful, but notin that re-
spect beyond what may be found in very
many Of the lads who attend the Boston
public schools. BE has evidently studied de-
pertinent in public well, and thus taken his

looked as if he wanted to get at the young

he is then presented with an address from
the city, and replies TO it in calm, deliber-
ate manner and clear voice. His counte-
nance isvery mild and agreeable; features
regular and pleasing, witha youthful express
sion; and although inclined to a retiring
manner, yet is firm and digni6ed in his bear
ing for youth. Gracefully touching his
hat and lifting it when the heads of depart
ments were presented by his Excellency the
Lieutenant Governor, he shakes their hands
with his left hand-the right only being ex-
tended to those Of equal rank.
The people seem universally pleased with
the personal of the Prince. He resembles
slightly the Queen about the forehead and
eyes and leOks like an intelligent well-bred
English youth.
The ball began about nine, and the Prince
arrived near ten. He seemed to enjoy him
setf very much, scarcely missiRga dance, till
supper was announced at one O'Clock, when
the anthem was played and all followed the
Prince, with Countess Mulgrave on his arm,
to the supper-room. The heir apparent took
/ bis place in the centre. Lieutenant Govern
or Mulgraye, Earl of st. Germans, Duke Of
| Newcastle, General Bruce and Admiral Milne
were, with their wives, on each side Of him,
and other dignitaries and invited guests fol-
/ lowed in regular succession. About one
thousand or eleven hundred persons were
present Among the distinguished persons
were Major Tusdale, the famous defender Of
Kars, General Trollope, and Mr.. Pillsbury,

ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE PRINCE.
Even at this first and hasty view, the
4 Prince was singularly proposing. Of all
| who now saw him for the first time, not one
but was agreeably impressed. With thextreme
delicaey and regularity Of feature, thorough
refinement in expression, and countenance
the natural animation Of which was prob
| ably heightened by the excitement of the mo-
ment; with unaffected dignity Of manner,
and a gracefulness of bearing, that showed
itself even in the brief passage to the spot
assigned for his reception, he needed few
other claims to win the most cordial accla-
nations Of his welcomers. He wss dressed
in the uniform of Colonel Of the Guards
a scarlet coat, black trowsers, and hat with
plume. He wore also the broad ribbon Of
the Garter. Erect and Well-formed, this cos
tune was greatly in his favor. All persons
were struck by the youthfulneSs Of his ap-
pearance, for which the knowledge Of his
precise age seemed not TO have prepared them.
As be stood listening to the reading Of the
address, with undisturbed composure, and in
easy attitude, be looked as handsome young
English gentleman as the most jealous pro
vincial well-wishers could have desired to
find him.
His face is not unlike the Queens, as we
have it represented IN portraits, and the fore
head and chin are still less prominent. Hi:
hair is light and his complexion very fair
His eve is bright and keen. The other tea
lures are large, but not ill-formed, and thl
mouth is peculiarly expressive Of qnicknes
to u1irth. The best likeness 1 have seen o
him is a steel engraving which accompanied
a recent number of q London illustrated
paper, The News Of the World, which i
admirably perfect. A large wood-cut il
Frank Leslies Newspaper, which has jus
) reached this place, is also. excellent in ever,
detail, excepting that the mouth is too bar
and compressed. In general effect, the like
I ness is very accurate.
