THE DAILY SPY.



No sooner does the Prince OF Wales enter
public life which is supposed to date from the
time of his marriage, than he sets about APP
pointing a numerous corps of men from all
trades and professions, who shall administer
to his personal wants and attend to the neces-
stiles of his household, thereby assisting him,
as far as possible, in squandering the very lib
eral income which he receives from his vari-
GUS estates and from the national exchequer.
We have, in consequence of such appoint
ments, and in most cases even in the absence
of these appointments, ".Snaith, BootD,ake, TO
HIS Royal HighneSs," Brown, Wine Mer-
chant to His Royal Highness," Jones, Ho.
sier to His Royal Highness, ""Robinson. Pur-
veyer of Tooth Powder to His Royal High
ness" &c. While passing along the street,
the other day, saw what was to me conf
cal sign, which induced me to call for a card.
This will describe and give you the super
scription. 1t is surmounted by a crown,
thanked on either side by lion and unicorn,
and inscribed with the notices "Dieu ct mon
droit" and "Honi soft qui NAL y pense." The
superscripton is ''G Dawkins, Purveyor of
Asses Milk to the Royal Family Mr.. Daw-
klns should find some customers among the
members OF parliament, and he might profta-
bly, circulate his card among the members of
the cabinet at Washington and the national
Legislature. The Prince of Wales receives
from his various estates the sum of S40O, 900
per annum. This sum was not considered
sufficient to support his family, (himself and
wife, so parliament by grant made it $780,
600 per annum, besides voting $4,000 per
annum to his wife for pin money. This should
be considered a respectable sum for young
man to commence with.
Royalty is an expensive luxury, and roval
wedding calls for a large amount of tin. The
expenses Of the wedding per Sc were $lI7,275.
The extra expenses, which presume means
the expense of entertaining friends, &C., were
SOL 800. Then there was $4,000 for works
at Windsor; 1000 for illuminating public
buildings; Sl4,77 for opening the theaters
free to the public; and numerous other ex-
penses, both public and private, so enormous
that it almost makes one grieve that they
could not have been devoted to the starving
people of LancashIre.-The rioting which has
of late occurred among the operatives in
portion OF Lancashire, who have subsisted
upon means provided by the relief commit
tees, Is at an end, many of the rioters having |
been arrested and thrown into prison to await |
their trial The cause of the rioting was the |
very prudent action of the committee in issu-
ing ord, RS on the groceTs and tradespespe, |
instead OF giving money, which many spent in
liquor, instead of the necessaries of life.-The |
English government has displayed more ac-
tivity in the case of the 'War Jackson"
steamer in the interest of the Polish insurrec-
ton, than in the case of the "Alabama" She
was ready to sail on the 2Ist ult., when Une
governor of the custom house, having inform
alton of her character, ordered his officers to
board her, and prevent her from proceeding
to sea, until further inquiries could be made
But the gallant Pole set sail, in spite Of the
officers, carrying them with him, and only
landing them as he passed the last point Of
English soil. In the case of the Alabama,
perhaps no such activity was displayed.
Enthusiastic meetings in favor of the north
continue to be held daily roughout the
kingdom, and in the metropolis about once a
week The last was meeting of the Trades
Unions, an immense body of artisans, of all
descriptions, who have hitherto abstained
from politics entirely, and who now are join
ing all other classes Of the people, in order to
assist in bringing such q pressure to bear upon
the government that they will not dare to re-
cognize the south. Mr.. Bright was the prin-
cpal speaker. Resolutions in favor of eman-
cipation, and an address to Mr.. Lincoln, were
unanimously and enthusiastically voted
These you will see in print, on your side.

these meetings, that he is not witnessing
some grand political demonstration in 4Amsri
ca. The enthusiasm and excitement is equal
to the greatest have ever seen in the United
States. At the first mere mention of Nh. Lin
coins name the whole audience invariably
rises, and gives nine hearty cheers with
tossing of hats and waving of handkerchiefs
that cannot be surpassed even in g Yankee
DOM" The next meeting in the metropolis
will be held next Wednesday evening, April s.
The ''London American" the only loyal
American organ in England, discontinued its
existence about two weeks since. 1t has been
long ill; though its early decease, which has
been long expected, was finally accelerated by
qcnut of SustenGnCe. The London American
was established in May, 1860, by George Has
eltine, NJ. A., formerly of Bradford, Mass.
He graduated at Dartmouth college, studied
law at the Albany law school and was admit
ted to the bar of New York. Soon afterwards
he came to this country for the purpose of
carrying on the business of patent solicitor,
which business he continued until he con-
ceived the idea of starting an American organ
In Europe, Of which he became the chief edi-
tor, and Mr.. John Adams Knight, formerly of
Auburn, Maine the publisher. During the
absence of the chief editor in America in
1862, the paper so pandered to the personal
Interests and antics of certain parties con-
nected with tramways, that its character as an
impartial reporter was called in question.
From this and other causes the publisher
failed, during recent visit to America, both
to obtain subsidy from the government,
which he sought and to secure that encour-
agement from individual subscribers necessa-
ry for the continuance of the journal. Mr..
Haseltine retired FROM the editorship in the
beginning of 1862, and became manager of
the International patent office, which was es-
tablished here in 1850, and has done since
that time the greater portion of the American
business l should add that the ''Index," the
southern organ established here about two
years since, is in fourishing condition; re-
ceiving subsidy from the confederate gov
eminent, and $500 subscribers: whereas the
London American had no subsidy and only
1000 subscribers We had another hole-day
yesterday, "Good Friday. ut is utterly impos-
sible to do any business here on holiday.
Good Friday is most strictly observed.
