The New York papers, # Saturday, arc filed
with sensational reports Of the arrival OF
Prince Arthur. and devote many columns to
description of his every wink and nod. The
Sun. iconocastic rs usual, treats the Whole
affair as piece of toadyisln. We take some
paragraphs from 1.-THE SUM- report
THE ARRIVAL.
H:R.H. Arthur, W. P. A. Guelph, X. c., ar
rived in this city yesterday direct from Mon
treal. This fortunate young ,nan. whose VOLT
minous name is announced with tail at both
ends. is the third son and seventh child OF the
Oueen of Great Britain. and is therefore ac-
corded position of prominence IN the world.
He was born on the lst day OF May, 1851. He
is graduate of the military academy at Wool
wicl. and is lieutenant in the regiment oil
|. ord Alexander George Russell, stationed in
Canada. He came out last fall to join his rcgl-

wealthy woman, and is undoubtedly able to
pay the little travelling expenses other minor

Ills TRAVELS.
Through the courtesy of Commodore Van,
derblt this scion ofBritish royalty has travelled
thus far in the United States in regal splendor,
though merely at the cost OF lirst-class tlckets
his private car to Montreal expressly for the
use of the young man. In this prlncciy con-
yeyance H. r. H. found everything that even
ROYALTY could demand. as appears from the tact
that he rode the entire distance from Montreal to
this city, occupying twenty-five hours time,
without once leaving the car. At ST. Adams,
supper was served him i'll the car. and at Troy,
breakfast.
