THE PRINCE OF IVALESS VISIT TO
AMERICA.
From The London Times.

wa Tho immobility of Royalty That the King should
remain bsbi,uay within certain radius OF his cap
al and never 20 beyond it, except for the purpose OF
making a solemn and formal visit to so ne loyal prov
nce Was with the laer S0vereigns OF the House OF
| Hanover almost article OF faith. The hrst TWO
Georges were, Of course, constantly running over 10
| Germany; but when the Prince who, born and edu
Gated in the country "gloTied in the name OF Brton
came TO the throne, the Tycoon OF Japan was almost
as immovabe. This may have been partly the result
of natural sluggisbness Of mind, but II was PERHAPS
more an imitation of French and Spanish Royalty,
which had then reached the extreme OF absurd pune
tiousness Whatever the cause, George I'LL was con-
tent 10 oscillae all his life between London aud Wind
| cor and an excursion 10 Weymouth was the most
fol IN Dab Journey which he had ever attempted His
cod and successor visited either Scotland or
Ireland until he had assembled the throne at tue age OF
| nearly 90 years. KING William, though he had seen
the world in his youth was almost as stationary after
| lie had ceased 10 be mdshipmsn. IL cannot be
doubted that much Of the Darrowness OF these oover
eiaps and the despotic tendencies OF the hrst two,
arose from their having seen 30 little OF the word, aud
even of the country they were to govern In the age
before RAILWAYS the greatest lords were content to
pass much of their time in residences almost suburban,
being deferred by the enormous expense from transfer
ring their households frequently to Northumberland or
Derby shire and back The Sovereign encouraged this
dislike Of locomoton by his example, and, In spite OF
grand tous In his youth the Enghsh Milford could not
be said 10 be q really Travelled man.
Now however Enehsbmen 90 everywhere, In
Euroue and in the East and Royalty is about TO lead
them 10 field which, not un'rodden is less known

The father of her present Majesty held high comman
there But the unity OF the Empire ana the st0tss Oh
BIitish North America as q great allied province,
ard not a mere dependent plantation, Will
for the first time be recognized when Albert Prince Of
Wales sets foot ON its shores The Governor-oenera,
in Opening the Canadian Parliament, announced the ap-
preaching visit, and the Satisfaction of all classes
has since been loudly expressed. The people Oh the
North American Colonies are prepared 70 receive the
Price Of Wales with every demonstration OF regard
Not only tribute to his salUn as the lu,uTe nead
of The greatest commonwealth In the world, but as tue
representative of rule which has conferred immense
| benefits on the provinces, the Canadian people WIN
give him welcome. For twenty years the progress oil

Her present Maiestys accession TO the throne found
the Canadians deeply discontinued, and, as Is nov
admitted not without oaute. ldsnrreclon lonoweu,

policy Of Cancellation produced not only quiet, but
LOYALTY Since those menacDg days the prosperity Oh
