Ger Quebec Correspondence. Quenec, Auguet 16, 1860, The Beir Apparent and His Leyel Provincials—General Review of the Prince's Visitmis Effect—Threats of Puture Fudrogtios, dc. From the reports of your special correepondent it ap- pears that thus far the Prince of Wales has bad nothing . to complain of in his receptions by the cod fishers of New- foundiand, the blue noses of Nova Scotia, and those of the Gazadian “Kanucks”’ whom he has yet encountered during his progress through the barren provinces of North America. Thus far at every place he hes visited bea) differences and squabbles, and even the prejudices of nationality, seem to have been forgotten for the time, aad all have vied with each other in their endeavors to de honor to the royal boy whom Queen Victoria has sent te represent her among them. But although these dif- firences bare been concealed during the Prince’s visit, as tousekeepers hide their dirty linen and hush their family q@arrels during the stay of an honored guest, yet we may be very certain that the linen is not cleanly washed ger the family quarrels settled, simply because they are mt thrust upon the yisiter’s attention. THE VEXED QUESTION OF THI FISHERIES. Already, as was hinted by your correspendent, the pco- peof Newfoundland, recovering from the paroxyem of Myaity into which they were thrown by the affability of theyPrince, are proparing for a revolt, like that of 1857, in (@se the rumors that the treaty in regard to the New- Pondland fisheries, about to be ratified between England md France, makes the French right of fishery along $e wrthwestern coast exclusive, and not concurrent with the rights of the English and Americans—the points al- ways in dispute—and gives the French, also, the right to take bait along the coast, should be authenticated by des- patches from the Home government. These rumors are probably reliable, for they ar® based upon information Obtained directly from the Duke of Newcastle, during bis recent visit to the island in the suite of the” Prince; and if #0, we may expect, before long, to hear that the mass meetings of Newfoundlanders, for whioh preparations have been making, have been bel; that the British flag has again doen displayed union down, at half mast, and that again ‘the English government bas been compelled to accede to the most disloyal demand of this most loyal colony, and rejverate its promise that the colony shall be consulted tm regard to the administration of {ts own affairs. BOW THR CANADIANS WILL RECEIVE THE PRINCE. Neither must it be supposed that Canada affords any better illustration of the old adago—that in loyalty ex- tremes meet—those being most devoted to the sovereign who are the least and the furthest removed from the seat of government. Up to this time the visit of the Prince has been uninterrupted by any difficulty or disturb. ance, and jt #® more than probable that he will pass through the Canadas, and reach the country which hi great grandfather threw from him as @ ebildy igrorent of its value, mistakes and neglects to care for a precious diamond, as if it were oniy a common pebble, without perceiving auy tokens 0, those diseensions which, like hidden fires, only await hig departure to burst forth with destructive fury. Now the English hurrah and the French vira intermingle, andevery ‘rolce shouts “God save the Queen,’ but we mus} not over- jook she fact that with many Canadians this apparent de. votion is vow preterea nihil CANADIAN LOYALTY CONSIDERED. ‘Ap ancient German legend says that the godess Harmo nia, our echo, bestowed upon each of her progeny a part of herself, until nothing remained but ber voice, which Jup! ter mercifully allowed her to retain ; and so the loyalty of the Canadian Freochmen has for yeare been gradually dwindling away, until it now consists in little more thao empty sound. In Lower Canada we have two nationalities, ‘the English and the French—always diverse and antago- nistia—never cordially frateraized and rinered. In Capada, as in Burope, these nationalities have had their stracgies, conflicts and alternate victories and defeats in the past, and they ener Gores each ovuer in the pre- eent. Any difficulty or entanglement in Europe may be dou! |, though that the Eaglish dread and ex- + it is evident from their icy for three years past n hes of Lord Palmerston, the arming of t, opens of the volunteer movement, the declarstions of London Times, and many others of those straws by «hich we judge of the direction of the current of national feelings. Is it wonderful, then, that avtipaty and hostility—matural, edu- cated, and hear od every now and then by some tueb Figns as these—should extibit itself in Canada, whose possession has always been disputed, ever been decidedly and unequivocally settied ’ English govern Capada; but what do they govern?

The visit of the Prince of Wales may delay the cutbreak, and prodent counsels may possibly avert it, out from prevent indications there can be but little doubt that, sooner or later, a confitct will certainly ensue. The ancient feuds between the and the Ribbon- mep, more bitter in Canada in Ireland, will not be enligted in this quarrel, but will be tten in the general resentment, and so the French will have to con- tend with the combined Britieh residents. TEREATENED INSULT 10 THE PRINCB 1N MONTREAL. ‘There are threats that the Prince will be iueuited by ‘the French during bis visit to Montrea!; but this is ecarce- ly probabie. Foglish residents of that city, of whose standing and responsibility there can be no question, as- sert, however, that before the Prince leaves ica the quarrel will be eettled, and uot peaceably. ‘Suppose, then, that the revolt thus imminent shall be- come general, will the fracas regult like that of 1837? And wii! the United States take part in tho affray or re- gard it ag dispassionately as, in 1837, the people of Ogdensburg viewed, across the St. Lawrence, the battle between the French and English Canadians at Prescott? Resseri’s Horer, Quenpe, August 17, 1860. EXCURSION 70 MEET THE PRINCE, The Lady Head steamer, by which 1 travelled from Gaspe, came to a full stop opposite Riviere du Loup on Tuenday night at nine o'clock, for the purpose of enabling several of the Canadian ministry, who had joined us from the Queen Victoria, to go ashore and take their Places in a special train for Quebec. They went, and I with them, acrogs the dark water in @ four oared boat to the landing slip, where lay the Magnet, bound for an ex- cursion up the Saguenay. My object was to take passage in her; 80, parting from my friends, who had a dreary, jolting three mile ride before them, we reached the rail road station—a lot by no means envied. I secured a stateroom in her and retired. This is the end of Act 1. Soon after three the paddle wheels of the steamer began creating a sensation in the waters of the quiet inlet where she lay, and awaking I became conscious that she had started on ber trip, which the advertisements declared to be the only opportunity for meeting the Prince in the Saguenay. ‘The Riviere du Loup flows into the St. Lawrence from iis Rostboes side, sud Seay, on the other side of the inlet hundred and thirty miles below Quebec, pA ps gap was filled with mist as we entered. On its lower side is a barren and point known as L’fslet; and this divides the Saguenay Tadougsac bay, to the eastward of which two terraces of alluvial land deck out the distance. while in their rear and almost enframing them are quartz-like elevations which might almost be led, mountains, the fissures of which are filled with a growth of stunted spruce trees. We passed the cove and lumber village of L’Ance A 1/Fav on the a ee ghimpee of the spire in Todoussac as we ascended ‘bigher. es EXCITEMENT ABOUT THR PRINCE. People were up early on the lookout for the Prince, asking all sorte of questions about him, and appearing quite disappointed when they were told be had not ar- rived. Whoever admitted to have seen him became at once an object of curiosity, and found himeelf watched and pur- sued at every corner by People Sie to learn more, till at length the man who bad Prince was only second in interest to the Prince himself Away we sped through the cold and gorge of prosiphous, naked rock, and over the inky the waters of the river are str black, and ite walls look aa if they had been long ago asunder by some wild convulsion of nature. Heroand there occurs a parrow ravine which a slender but foaming torrent hurries to ite bed, and yonder is a sprinkling of strangely dwarfed shrubs, quite in character with the strange, around. A thunder storm in the by night would be a glorious scene for the lover of gloomy grandeur, and if I were certain of the event,1 would at any time under- take the journey for the mere pleasure of listening to the ringing echoes of the thuuder, and seeing those barren cliffe lighted up with supernatural radiance. The Saguenay is unique, but save at the ed = of Capes Trinity aod Eternity, it can nay called mag nificent. Like all such places ol resort, its beauties, its wildness, its grandeur, have been ex- aggerated, partly by parties interested’ in the steam- ‘boat traffic, and still more by those who, im recounting their travels, are never satisfied to tell a plain unvar- visbed tale, but must ever gild the picture. SCENERY OF THE SAGUENAY. Those who are foad of exploring caves and coai mines, the Thames Tunne!, the tubular bridge, and such other regions of shade, will like the Saguenay, for it is the most sombre river in the world. It is the best place for evjoyirg a St of the blues, or melancholy, that I know of. It is an,emblem of Lethe, and would pass for a chan- ne! of the Dead Sea. Tt looks lifeless, but it is not so; fish abound in its watere, and its villoges are the resort of anglers. There are only about three of these, asd miserably small and destitute they are, between the mouth and Ha Ha Ray—a distance of sixty miles. The average width of the Saguenay is about taree quarters of a mile. In some places it narrows to a width of less than haifa mile, and in others expands two miles or more. The rocks, in which ¢ a mirror, varv ia height from three hundred ani to seventeen hundred feet, chiefly of eienitic granite base is, near the river's er than the St. Lawrence, in depth im the main chan as that of Ha-Ha is sometimes called. ‘One peculiar feature of the acencry is, that wherever there is a projection on one side of the river, there is a corresponding indentation on the other, which favors the before mentioned supposition of its havieg been rent by Ube clements. Fighteen miles above Tadoussac I had a gi of the island of St. Louis, a rocky mass, covered with stunted trees, and rising to the height of three bundred feet at ite extreme point. ‘The St. Marguerite river, a tributary of the Saguenay, rolled into it from the sorth, and yy eet ap if Little Saguenay, joined the larger oue, and soon after passing tial we cane to St. Johu’s bay, situated on the southern 6 and twenty-seven miles from the Sague- pay’ mouth.

The centre of attraction was the English Catho dral, whore the Prince attended morning service. The church was crammed with people, who were admitted only by ticket. The adjacent streets were crowded. The Prince drove to church with the Governor General, and was dressed in a suitof black, with a white vest. He also wore a biack bat, which «iid not become him. Fle occupied a seat in the gallery, and was so much the ob- Ject of attraction that the sermon of the Rev. Mr. Hous. man was scarcely listened to. At the conclusion of the service he jumped into the carriage and drove rapidly off. Some sailors belonging te the Hero brought the Prince's dog Cabot, which was preseaced to him at Newfoundland, vo Durham terrace, where crowds of people were ga- thered, who petted the animal, some ladies even kias- ing it, During the afternoon the Prince visited the Platns of Abraham, Wolfe's Monument and vicinity, the Governor General's residence at Cataraqui. On Sunday night « dinner was given to the press by Mr. Puseel. * An American fisg wae displayed from the ferry boat @uring the celebration to-day, which is dismal and rainy. Mr. Bartlett, Secretary of State, and Mr. Sprague, both of Rhode Island, presented an invitation to Governor ‘Williams for the Prince to visit Providence. The Duke replied that the programme of the Prince’s visit to the United States was not yet decided on, but that he would consult Lord Lyons, in whose charge everything was left, today or to-morrow, and arrange the pro- gramme. Both he and the Prince wanted to see as much an possible of the United States and ite various cities; would algo like to go West and see tho prairies, It was probable they might go to Chicago, The Prince, who is much interested in mechanics, wants to see the manulac- taring towns. The Duke asked Messrs. Bartlett and Sprague if they came all the way from Rhode Isiand on that special business, and was so much pleased at this at- tention to the Prince that he offered them a residence at the Governor’s house, The Rhode Island delegation re- turned home this afternoon, and will receive the Prince's answer by letter. Two American gentlemen, connected with the New York press, were introduced to the Prince on Sunday, which was the firet anofficial reception. Mr. Thompson, Mayor Wood's secretary, says he intends waiting a few days before presenting his letters, the contents of which were given in another despatch. In spite of the rain the Prince and suite of four persons paid a visit to the Chaudiére Falls, on the opposite ride of the river. He drove to the landing, croesed in a special ferry boat, and rode on horseback three miles to the falls, where a fine collation had been provided. The rain had swelled the falls, which made a beautiful appear- ance. He returned late in the evening. The Prince takes up bis official residence at Parliament House to-morrow morning. The Seventeenth regiment act as a guard of honor, A salute will be fired from the levee. In the evening three baile will be given, one of them by the city.

In view of the daily increasing interest in the expected ‘advent of the Baron Renfrew, or Prince of Wales, and of the numerous offers which our “merchant princes’ and others have made to accommodate the royal visiter in their city palaces, we subjoin a brief description of some of the most prominent, beginning with THE SUBURBAN RESIDENCE OF MAYOR woop. ‘The fullest conceptions of a genuine rus in urbe are to de realized on approaching the sem! rural residence of the Hon, Fernando Wood. Situated about fifteen minutes ride from Madison square, it ts just far enough from the noise and hudbub of the metropolis to be claened among subtrban residences, and yet it is near enough to be within reach of all the varied enjoyments of city life, The house iteclf stands upon an undulating knoll commanding ‘an exquisite view of the surrounding scenery and is within a fow rods of the farhionable thoronghfare known as the Bloomingdale road, The building is Approacked through massive (ron gates, artistically elaborated, opening into beautifully gravelled paths, and leading to fragrant walks ‘of summer rosea which creep lovingly along the ehrz>- bery and on towards the house. ‘The longth cf the build ing is about eeventy-five fect, fronting on Broadway, and {ts mean depth about seventy feet.

Tne rear 0) the building ¢ommands a broad view of the majestic Hudson, whose silver waters are to be seen eddy ing calm'y in the digtance and sparkting in the gleaming sunshine, Tho garden is graceful and well dressed. It can boast of native and exotic plants of every variety, and of almost every clime and perfizme. ‘The roses seem to love the latticework of the house, and the tendrils of the delicate vines creep modestly up to the windows, as if they feared to be chided for their bold. ness by the litte nymph of the household who presides over their short lived destinies. ‘The premises altogether ovcupy about one hundred lote of ground, and though there are a number of improvements yet to be made, and which the owner contemplates mak- ing, the residence is at this moment amply fit for the o2cu pation of the best prince in the world; and we know of none who is better than our young kinsman, the Prince of Wales. The lawn is, in fact, one of the chief beautics of Mayor Wood's residence. Stretching away over nearly three acres of land, and studded with fruit trees and flowers, each bearing and blooming according to its kind, no one can pass by without pausing to gaze on the tout ensemble of gorgeous scenery. It is a0 especial credit to Mr. Wood that this beautiful country scat has been the result of his own patient effort and perseverance. Twelve years ago the site of his present resi dence was thick with the foliage of primeval forest trees, The sloping Iawn, running gently down to the banks of the river, never yielded a tlower that could be boasted of. Now everything is changed ; and if the Prince of Wales should ever take up bis abode in this quict retreat, he will have the advautage of a healtby aud salubrious residence, with a view of some of the most beautiful ecenes around the suburbs of our groat city, not forgetting the tranquil and beautiful Hudson. Mayor Wood, we are informed, was offered $250,000 for his residence in 1848, which he declined, and this spring he refused $200,600. Be regards the homestead aa a man does his child, with love and attachment; but, though be will not part with it for money, be is willing to surrender every inch of it to-morrow for the temporary use of the young Britieh Prince and his suite—an intention which will, uo doubt, secure the lasting gratitude of 20 sasceptible and worthy a youth, even though the offer may not be ac- cepted, the patie e rich etures fur this may Vire— au impre ti ndeed be wy aad bouse are vate libra € and \alua SPINGLER INSTITUTE. ‘The building now otcupied by this well known inatitn- tion for the education of young ladies is, without doubt, the finest of ite kind in the city; it is situated on the cor- ner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street—a situation remarkable for its beaaty and healthfulness, being in the most attractive part of Fifth avenue, and on the corner of a wide street. It was commenced In 1853 and jeted in 1856, for Dr. Townsend, at a cost of two bund and Ofty thousand dollars—no time or expense having been spared to make it the Gnest and most costly decorated dwelling in the city. The edifice is entirely of brown stone, and four stories in height, and is seventy-five feet by eighty, including the conservatories attached. It is surrounded by open and handsomely laid out gardens, thus securing the ad- vantages of all necessary light andair. A large double stoop and portico, supported by fluted Corinthian columns, form the entrance. On passing inwards we are at once struck by the great benuty and size of the entrance hall. This hall, which is considered one of the most maguificent in the country, extends from the first floor to the roof, and has an archea ceiling, beautifully ornamented in blue and gold. ¢The hall is surroynded on each story with corridors on every side, supported by fluted Corinthian columns, all handsomely gilded. On the left of the entrance is the main drawing room, about twenty-three feet by eighty, one of the most spacious and richly ornamented rooms of the city. Ite style of ornamentation is European, as, indeed, the whole idea of the mansion is said to be an enlargement and im provement apon the plan of an Italian palace, The fres- coes and decorative work present a rare combination of harmonious and blended coloring. In the rear of the drawing rcom is the dining room, which leads to the conservatory, a beautitul room, orma mented with richly stained gins To the right of the entrance is the library, and adjoining {ta small room leading to @ unique apartment called the “Pompeii Room,’’ being, as is supposed, a fac simile in ize and freeones of a room in the exhumed city. Beyond this is the painting gallery, which is filled with eome of the ohoiceat works of art, among which are the original of Cole's Voyage of Life and copies of some of the most cele brated European paintings made expressly fur this iastt- tution. ‘The other floors are reached by a winding staircase of remarkably beautiful nad gracefal design. The second is occupied with suits of rooms opening upon the corridors, ‘and well adapted as apartments for receptions and occu- pancy. The third and fourth stories are assigned to the ordinary purposes of domestic apartments. All the furniture, specially made for and adapted to the eneemble of the building, still remains to add to the com- fort of the present occupants, ‘The following letter from Mr. Abbott, of this Institute, proffering ite use to bis Royal Highness the Prince of ‘Wales, will be read with interest — Axsort’s ConnagiaTe Lenore yor Youne Lapres, Srixorer Ieerrtere, Fiery Av. axp Usiow Sq. df Naw Yor, August 18, 1860.

ABBOTT. THE EVERETT HOUSE, Some of the most sumptuous apartments in this lovely, regal hotel can be made ready within twenty-four hours notice for the uge of the Baron Renfew and hia illustrious attendants. Mr. 1. L. Britton, the chief proprietor of this establishment—with the artistic and carefal aid of his amiable lady—bas converted his always beautiful and maguificent hotel into a regular Eastern palace. He bas taken the moet encrgetic measures to refurnish, recarpet, and review the whole of the spacious house—or, at least, the large portion which !t is expected will be pet aside for the use of hie Royal Highnees of the United Kingdom. ‘The rooms thus designated are the very best in the house. There are two complete suite, containing vo lees than nineteen rooms, the apartments of the Prince being en- tirely distinct from those of bis suite, but all command- ing full and splendid views of Union Park and the other fine views of the surrounding locality. To those who Know the Everett House it will be unnecessary to speak of the extent of its capabilities or of the magnificent view which it commands from its loity and numerous windows. It bas the advantage of private entrances for the Prince and for bis suite, and none of the conveniences of a private houso are wanting here. Besides all this, the hotel is known to be one of the most fashionable, if not aristocratic, in tha city—that is to gay, none but the wealthiest and most prominent of our citizens are accustomed to reside there. Under the careful direation of the present management— if it be decided that the Prince of Wales shall stop there— we have no doubt but he will find himself as bappy and as comfortable as in the most lordly of hisown im- perial palaces. THE RESIDENCE OF MR. R. K. HAIGHT hag been named among those which have been put at the dispoeal of the proper authorities for the use of the young Prince. Whether this offer has been formally made or not docs not matter here; but if the magnificent dwelling of this gentleman be required for the use of Baron Renfrew, it will be put at bis service within feur days’ notice, ina condition not to be supassed by any private residence in this or any other city. "Mr. Haight’s house is one of the very flvest in our greatest of great avenues. It occupies a commanding position, as the very firet house at the corner of Fifth avenue acd Fif- teenth astrect. It is built entirely of stone, is lofty, spacious, and truly magnificent. At this season of the year, when most of our city houses are de- serted, there is little of its internal beauty to be seen. The splendid conservatory is there, with ite numerous and elegant collection of statues, uras of flowers, fountains of water and other adornments, The courtyard is green with every variety of shrubs and flower trees, crowded together without distinct arrangement. Inside of the bouse, the carpets have been removed, and an of par- tinl inactivity pervades everything, while the beame of the evening gun shine through the richly stains ed glass with something of mournfuluees. But if the house were wanted to-morrow, there would be an immediate resurrection of all its beauty and embellishments. The structure iteclf can bear fayorabla comparison with any other house on the continent. Wealth, taste, art, science and all the other powerful levers of the day haye been brought to bear on it, and it stands now a splendid monument of refinement and elegance. Under the hands of the decorative artist, a few days would serve to bring order out of the chaow now existing, and this residence would stand among the frst in the land. The interior arrangements are folly im keeping with all the others. There isa splendid library» picture galleries, garden, bathe, &c. When placed im thorough order, the house will outrival the palace of Aladdin. MRS. PARRISH’S RESIDENCE, On Broadway and Union square, is a large and commo- djous building. It bas a fine yellow brick front, and splendid evergreens decorate the walls, The house is very favorably situated, although not 80 much so as the Everett Howe, it commands a yery fine view of the Park, but the coup d’eul \# not £0 grand bor extensive as ‘that afforded from the heighbte of the Everett. Mrs. Par- rish’s residence ig, however, an elegant and splendidly finished mansion, and \te wealthy proprietor bas farnish- ed it ina style that is beyond improvement. At present Mrs. Parrish is at Newport, but « genuine sense of intel- Iigence and hospitality bas induced her to tender her eu - pesb residence for the use of the Baron Renfrew, and should the generous offer be accepted, we dare aay that Mrs. Parrish will pot be beaten in the style and elegance with which she will be ready to sarround and ornament her splendid palace. THE RESIDENCE OF MR. MOSES H. GRIN- NELL. If the elegant mansion of this distinguished merchant be as well known to the people of New York se is his name in popular and commercial circles, it will require but little description at our bands. It stands at the corner of Fifth avenue and Hast Fourteenth street, and is one of the most majestic piles in that distingué neighborhood. Like mort of the houres of our wealthy citizens, this splendid residence is now deserted, and serving men and maileos hold high revel in the gloomy basement baile. To my that Mr. Grionell’s house it a palace is merely to sum up a very few of ite beasties in a very small word. [t raeke like the best of our big ships, Al at Lloyd's. it # one of the most eolid and compect buildings im that quarter of ‘the city, and is furnished in the utmost magnificence, without regard to expense, ‘We shall close this necessarily brief description by & passing reference to one other super’ ballding. THE NEW FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, Although not yet quite complete, has been spirit- edly offered by the proprictor, Mr. Franklin &. Kianey, for the use and secommodation of bie Royal Highnem. It ea fine marble front building, and stands at the cor- ner of Twenty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, Tho rooms, saloone, grand hall, steeping apartments and every division of the @uilding have been laid out and are being rapidly completed in the most satiefactory manner. Anew kind of Pooring, tation of the the teecliated marble pavement, bas been successfully introduced, and the hotel promises to rank among the first im the city. As our roporter yesterday could not find the proprietor or architect, be has been compelled to give but a very brief description of the building. It will be seen that the Prince of Wales ie being honored on all sides, and our worthy citizens, reprerenting tbe vital Intereste of the country, are jostling each other to hurriedly in the geme of hompitality that the only am. culty, it ie to be foared, will be found in the necessity of declining some of the offers so generously made. ————— Wast Trem Wacrs Rasen A wee oe ng employed in the different manufctorics in Boshwiek, have struck for an insrease of pay, They have ‘been in of $125 per day.
