Tile Denis OF The Prince Of Wales.

just now social and political circles
in London are excited by rumors of a
controversy between the Queen and the
Prince of Wales in regard to the pay
mcnt of debts to the amount OF some
s., 09Q, eco, which the latter has injured
aad refuses to pay. \ portion OF these
obligations are OF long standing, and
the creditors have become ciamorous for
liquidation, but his Royal Ill ghness re-
pudiatcs them on the ground that they
were incurred in the performance OF
State duties, shouldered off on HIM by
her Majesty, who, rs Is well known,
shirlls as much as she possibly can the
fatigucs and annoyance Of ievccs and
courtly ceremonials generally. In short,
the Queen has made the Prince do her
work, and has failed to meet the expen-
ses incurred; and the heir apparent, in
his turn, has neglected to pay those eN-
penses so that, as we have said, bills TO
a large amount have accumulated, and
the august mother and son arc quarrel
ing with each other rs to the response
bility therefor. Both of them have i'm
meme private fortunes, and receive
very large allowances from tho public
revenues, especially in order that they
may be enabled TO de!ray the cost OF
maintaining their rega. state. The an
nual income of the Prince of Wales is no;
less than $3.50, 900, and his mother has
two or three times rs much; but Meth
or oil them Is willing to disbursc u pen
ny by way of keeping mp tie royal show.
And the consequence is that Pariiamcn;
will he asked TO make an extra appro-
priation. The dread ofscandal is very
potent among conservative EnglIshmen,
and that 100000 will be ordered paid,
almost without debate.

liked and respected in Southsidc Virgil

Marvellous, IT True.

II is q curious fact, 1t steamboatmen
be not mis!cd, that the Mississippi rs
constantly moving its channel further
east. The world, revolving from west
to east, may force the great volume OF
water TO implngo more violently against
thc..east than reactionary motion against
the western shore. Earthworas erected
in the extreme northern portion of the
nights on which Columbus, Kentucky,
stands, on which Bankhead's battery
was long encamped, have long since
been swept into the Gulf of Mexico. So
with those at Fort Pillow and at Ran
delphi, of which not a vestige remains
The pretty plateau of 1851 at the waters
edge in front Of the navy-yard, on which
there were ten or twenty old tiirty-two-
Founders and barbarous field-pieces OF
the oldcn time, now pave the ocean s
bottom, anG nearly sixty acres in front
of Memphis have dritted out to sea.
The same state of facts obtains ut Vicks-
burg and Natchez, and it is only at
Helena, and for very short distance,
that the uplands on the western shore
Of the Mississippi are at all or anywhere
visible. From Cairo to Baltze the riv-
err is apparently moving toward the
east. Tie same facts ard the same
influences, civil engineers have often
asserted, affect railways that extend
from north to south. The eastern rails
are worn away more rapidly than those
on the west side of the trackway. There
must be some unseen force fitting each
locomotive toward the rising sun, and
We would be pleased to learn whether
these Ironically speaking) :'creatures,"
arc addicted to the ugly habit of tumb
ling over and smashing things toward
the east. DO majority of htt'e acct
dents occur on tho eastern side OF the
great highways connecting Chicago and
Mobile and New Orleans? and do river
pilots find it difficult 10 proven; steamers
striking their noses into the eastern
bank of the river? The facts as TO the
conduct of the river are as stated, aad
with singular Impotence we await a
solution OF the mystery at the hands OF
