VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO


There is one class of British colonies which will
justly and keenly feel the slight should the Prince
IN ms visit to America not extend his footsteps into
their lands We allude to those colonies which
nave acquired a separate sef-government the
United States of America. For British colonies
they are, and Part and parcel of the great Anglo
Saxon family they will remain. They are, in
truth, the partners of England, and must continue
to be so as long common language enables
them to share with us a common history, a common
study IN science, common industry in the broad
fields of production and trade. If any rancours
remained after the grievous fault of George the
Third and his advisers their last traces have passed
away within the last few years. Very recently the
extension of steam navigation has promoted habits
OF crossing the Atlantic which have made English
men far better acquainted with the United States
Americans far more familiar with European ideas
and feelings In spite of some mistakes, personal
or official, these sentiments have assumed so great
an influence over the management of affairs on
both sides of the Atlantic that war is becoming as
d1hcult as peace once was. Little acts of courtesy
IN high quarters have materially helped this grand
| movement of reconciliation and reunion. Not a
| smile which the Queen bestows at drawing room
upon her American visitors Is wasted and there is
| no trace OF subservency in the genuine feeling
which such evidences Of benignity excite. Cor
diality is amongst the leading traits of our Queens
character, sagacity is another; she knows what to
appreciate, and can manifest her appreciation and
the respect which she entertans for our relatives
in blood and history is tribute from England
which enhances England in the giving of it.
llustrlnuS
young Euglshman should come next door, and not
do so much as make call =? What return would
this be for the opeL heartness with which Ameri-
cans, while in no degree compromising their indie
pendence, manifest their satisfaction at anv show
of royal attention? What sort of mistrust would
it imply in noble race like the Americans-our
own blood? As a practical question, what is there
to apprehend? Possibly some difficulty in hedging
round the royal Prince with the requisite amount
OF etiquette? 1t may be fancied that the CROUCH
republicans"-of course "rough," because repub-
licans-wll do something which would be deroga-
tory to the Prince in the ewes of his English SUBJ
jects. We do not believe that any such apprehen-
sion can be entertained, since nothing could 80
clearly display vulgar ignorance. 1t is notorious
that the narratives of American obtrusiveness put
forward in the books of travellers, fustered with
their own Importance, counting intrusion by the
OstentatiOn of their demeanor, false as they
are ridiculous. 1t is trait in the character of
the Western people, that the old chivalry which
distinguished the behavior to a woman is to be
found there amongst classes distinguished for their
fine cloth who have forgotten it this side of the
Atlantic. The story which is told in the verse of
Thomas Moore about the lady whose
maiden smile
In safety lighted her round the green isle"
would be literally true of the United States But
apart from all these distractions, we will venture
to undertake that if the Americans should receive
an official ntimation of gratifying an attention
as a visit from the Prince of Wales thev will make
such preparations will protect him from every
intrusion while they are maintaining their own
ty in the case. There would be plenty of volun-
teers amonst the most eminent men of the repub-
lie, commanding the confidence of every class in
every State, who would so surround him as to form
a corps more than sufficient to embody the "dlgnl
ty that doth hedge king an escort more tappy
in its conception, and in its service, than the
"Garde Noble'' of the fair Marie Antoinette.
ROYAL PROCLAMATION IN FURTHERANCE OF PIETY
AND VIRTUE-On the 9th inst, at Buckingham
Palace, Queen Victoria, by advice of the Privy
Council, issued proclamation, suggesting meas
ures for the encouragement and suppression of all
vice, profaneness, dabauchery, and immortality
so that religion, piety and good manners NAV
flourish and increase under her administration and
government. She, therefore, calls upon persons
in authority, ecclesiastical or civil and ali other
subjects, to be very vgilant and strict in the dis
covery and the efectua prosecution and punish
ment of all persons who shall be guilty of disso-
lutte, immoral, or disordery conduct The first
end aimed at is gaming on the Lords Day; second
selling liquors in public houses, during the hours
of divine worship, or permitting guests to remain
therein; third, not attending church on the Lords
Day. She expects that all persons of honor or in
place of authority, will give good example by
commanded to bring the laws for the punish
ment of vice before their courts and the justices of
the peace to make returns of cases of violation of
the law.
KIND ADvICE.-In view of the reduction of 40
per cent. upon the rates heretofore paid for the
public printing, it has been rumored that Messrs
Bowman and w endell intend to decline further
jobs. The New York Herald recommends that
Bowman and Wendell make it up, shake hands,
unite their savings, and retire to farm. The cul
tiyation of early vegetables for the city market
may be made to pay hereafter better than party
organ or lobby printing jobs at asnlng'on'
Mrs. Swisshem SAYS that she wore a 81 so bonnet
seven winters without altering. Ihe TACT is, these
plain old ladies' bonnets do wear long while, for
the gentlemen never want to rumple them.
