They must however, come well washed
and clean shaved; chewing tobacco IN the
presence is strictly prohibited, under pain 8
immediate expulsion it will be required, like
wise, that each Of the sfathers" will refrain
from ardent spirits during the week previous
to TIE afar, as at least that time vii, be reou;r-
ed before they can be thoroughly or ..cold"
sober; they will be careful to keep their noses
clean to have their boots polished and TO wear
gloves (there must be some Of the Japanese in
voice left; they will also be required to give
security that none Of their intimate personal
friends in.the ward" wll attempt to pick the
pockets Of the noblemen in the Princes suite;
upon no account must any Alderman or CoUn-
Gilman open his mouth. IS he would be sure to
put his foot Ia it. BY strict attention to the
line OF conduct marked out above, our elegant
and accomplished friends Of the Hall may
manage TO pass muster in the crowd


In tie matter of the ball the Aldermen are to
be in state of strict quarantine. No persons
wearing white hats, yellow gloves and blue
coats with brass buttons are to be permit
Ted within gunshot Of Irving place o.
the eventful night Of that affair. The List a
managers which we reprint elsewhere. does
not contain the name Of single member of
the Corporation. They had their ding at the
japanese ball, and nice mess they made Of it.
Now, the citizens, Disguised with the vulgarity
and shameful. extravaganza Of the Aldermen,
have taken matters into their own hands, and
will spend their own money in their own way.
And that is the only means by which the Alder-
men can be made to understand how contemp6-
BILE they have made themselves and the govern
ment they pretend to administer. Never was
cut peater or more decided Let US hope that
its effect will be salutary.


As to the ball itself, everybody is quite
agreed that it will be grand affair. II Is in
tended to make this ffte as splendid as the Eu-
ropesn court balls, without their stateliness
and tiresome formalities. In one, aud most
important respect, we can outshine any court.
We refer to the fair danes and demoi-
selles who will grace the Academy with
the lustre Of their presence. The most dis
tinguished foreigners-those who can find
nothing elfe good In America-are unanimous
in praise of the beauty Of our women. The
Prince, who seems to be a susceptible young
man, will be captivated beyond doubt. The
ladies of the McFlimsey family are already in
terrible state Of mind over the important ques-
tions of who will be there, what is to be worn,
and--the most important of all-with whom
will the Prince dances These matters, like the
Turkish and Italian questions will require Q
vast deal Of diplomacy before they can be
settled.


The true intent of the fste in honor Of tbs
Prince can scarcely be misunderstood. II b
by no means an expression of alteration for
royalty per Sc. Kings, as kings, we value OF
despise exactly according to their public
acts. Vide Victor Emanuel and Francis II.
of Naples. But our English guest represents
the sovereign of country with which
we have more trade than any other, Of
people with whom we are in the
most intimate connection. New York Il the
commercial metropolis Of the Union. London
and Liverpool have done much TO make II 20.
The English are good customers 10 ua; We arc
good customers TO them. We make good deal
Of money out Of each other one way and ah-
other, and If ever our old friend the Lion gets
into any very serious difficulty the Eagle viii
be glad to help him out So, TO express our
good feeling and our recognition Of the ties,
commercial and otherwise, that bind the old
Mr.. Bull and young Mr.. Jonathan together We
intend to do the handsome thing by the Prince
Of Wales. And very handsome thing I, viii
be, too, unless we are greatly mistaken.
