tempted Assassination Ex-
plOded-A Vile Canard.

Prince Arthur was busily occupied all yesterday
forenoon in making preparations for his departure,
but. Notwithstanding, received several calls. Among
the visitors were Mr.. A. T. Stewart and MIR. Henry
Clews. The latter gentleman extended HIM an in-
vitatiOn to visit the Stock Exchange which he &C.
cepted cOnditiOnally-that IS, II he could find time.
However, during the day he was SO busy that he
was unable TO peep in upon the resort OF the bulls
and bears, and the latter were very much cha.
grned in consequence.
About quarter past two O'Clock he and his suite
left the Brevoort House, and at three O'Clock took
their departure FROM the Twenty street depot
for Boston The railroad company placed their d.
rectors at their service, and as the car
riage with the Prince arrived ut the depot he was
imm ediately shown into It's "parlor' py OF the
officials. here Was small group OF persons
bed at the depot to catch last glimpse OF him. but
they made no demonstration whatever, other than
waving their handkerchiefs IN token OF goodby as
the train moved out or the depot. This the Prince
recognized by gracefully raising his hat and bowng
His Royal Highness VIII remain In Boston over
Sunday, and possibly Monday, arriving In Peabody
Tuesday in time 10 attend the funeral OF the great
philanthropist After this he viii 70 to Portland,
Me-. ana then return TO Montreal. He has expressed
himself as having greatly enjoyed his visit to New
York, and VIII return at some future time.
AS for the story made much Of In some OF the
evening papers yesterday that several men had been
arrested who were lurking about Judge Stoughton's
residence on the night OF the Princes reception
with view Of assasslnalng him, 1t may be said
that the ASSASSINATION part OF the yarn all bos
The same paper states that The Prince learned of the
designs OF the men and lett Mr. Stoughton's resi-
dence secretly This statement Is also fuse. re-
porter OF the HERALD was present at the recep-
ton was In the vicinity OF Seventeenth street and
Filth avenue Ior over hour ana hair before the
Prince lett Mr.. Stoughtons, ana during that time no
sucn desperate encounter as the Canard manulac-
1--we ruliansn y who stated that they intended TO
take the life OF his Royal Hlghness" Mr. Stoughton
had in&en the precaution during the day TO nave
several policemen on duty near the house the night
of tue reception not by any lpeans because he anti
clpated any attack upOn the Prince by assassns'
any o.her Ili-intentloned persons but simply to
regulate ne arrival and departure or the Carriages
OF guests, aud To Keep the throng OF the curious
from pressing TOO uncomiortaby upon the
ladies and gentlemen as they passed into and
out OF the house. Near Seventeenth street, but not
near where the reception TOOK place, police officer
arrested some drunken men, but not OF them
mentioned the fact that he had any intention to do
harm to Prince Arthur. Indeed, one OF them, whom
our reporters had a conversation with yesterday
afternoon In relation TO the rnm0r that he and ms
companions had designs on the Prince, treated the
thing as q good joke and declared tnat he they
were mol aware Wnen on their ''sprean that his
Royal Highness was In the neghborhood at all.
The Prince left Mr. Stoughton's at late hour by lne
same door lie had entered, aud was treated BY the
few persons congregaLed on the sidewalk at the
time as he passed TO his carriage with the same
marks OF respect as he had been duliug the eek
wherever and whenever he had made his ap-
pearance In puDllc. SO far from anticipating
any danger Dor II would have been folly TO
anticipate peril that did not exist the Prince
as he came out stood by his carriage Tor two
three minutes, shaking hands with several or the
guests. Had any person arrested by the police on
Friday night been accused or even suspected Of the
intention to murder the Prince, the tact would have
been inscribed IN very large characters on the
return OF the Twenty precinct TO Police Head
quarters SO nucu Tor the sens alton.
Last evening Captain Borden appeared at the Cen
