THE WHOLE NO. 8750. MORNING ED THE CANADIAN COMMOTION. SPLENDID SPLURGE OF THE QUEBECKERS, The Prince at the Grand Ball Given by the City. He Danced Twenty-two Times, Tripped and Fell, his Beautiful Partner Relling Over Him. HON! SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE. ‘The Prince Immediately Picked Himself and Partner Up and Continued the Dance. TERRIBLE FLUTTER OF CRINOLINE, Salutes, Wuminations, Levees, Fire- works and Dinners. Prince's Barber. of the SOUVENIRS OF ROYALTY, One of the Government Steamers Placed at the Disposal of the Reporters, Rory Bory mee Special Despatch to the New York Herald. Quitmec, August 22, 1860. In consequence of the telegraph line closing before twelve o’clock on Tuesday evening, I was unable to send you as full a report of the movements of his Royal High, ness as I had intended. ‘The Prince, on his return from the falls, hada estate dinner. During the afternoon of Tuesday many of the inhabi- ‘tants visited the fleet, the smaller vessels of which go up the St. Lawrence this (Wednesday) morning. The govern- ment steamer Advance has been placed at the disposal of ‘the reporters. ‘The streets of Quebec during the whole of the day have been thronged with tailors, hairdressers, milliners, &c., ‘who have been running about from customer to cus- ‘omer fixing them up for the grand balls of this evening. ‘The city is brilliantly illuminated; not only private @wellings and public buildings, but the trium- pbal arches are all aglow, while numerous rockets are bursting in the air; when looking towards ‘the south, Quebec appears to be in a blaze. Ateight o’clock six of the men-of-war were illuminated; the ships ‘were dressed with variegated lamps from stem to stern, while great quantities of fireworks were discharged, ‘Thousands of people assembled on Durham terrace to wit- mess the spectacle, which was, I dare say, the most bril- Mant display ever witnessed by them. Three balls were given this evening. That given by the Orange Association was favored with the presence of the bandsomest men, and it was there the best dancing was ‘witnessed. That of the citizens’ ball was favored with the Presence of the handsomest women, and what their dancing lacked tn quality was made up ip quantity— their list of dances being the longest. That of the city ‘was favored with the presence of his Roya! Highness the Prince, and a supper, which would have made Downing fake to his bed for s week, was served as badiy as that on board the Great Eastern. The Prince came at ten o'clock, escorted by the Cana- @ian riflemen. He was received by the Mayor and Coua- @il, and was conducted to the private dressing room provided for him. One had also been provided for the Duke of Newcastle. Both were handsomely fur- ished. The ballroom was beautifully decorated with ‘vases and wreaths of flowers. A curtaia at the end con- ‘cealed the supper tables, which were laid in two tents of red and white canvass. The effect was much marred, however, by the servants gaping through, which caused considerable laughter. ‘The Prince opened the bal! with Madame Langevin and Mrs. Justice Curran vis a vis. The Prince wore bis usual uniform. Miss Irvine, daughter of Colonel Irvine, was the Prince’s second part- mer for a polka, She was dressed in a magnificent white dress, with wreaths of flowers. The Prince was in great good humor, and talked with everybody ‘who wore a uniform, especially a little middy, who will be the Tommy of the saite when they reach New York. ‘The little middy generally chooses the largest women for partners, and the contrast seams to give peculiar delight wo the Prince. ‘The Prince danced twenty-two out of twenty four @ances. He missed one being at supper, and the ovber ‘Decause he had started for the supper room. He ame back hearing a sweet waltz tune playing, and while dancing a,waltz he slipped and fell heavily on the floor, dragging his partner, Madame Cartier, the wife of the Canadian Premier, over him. Neither of them were injured, and the Prince inatantiy Jumped up and raised the lady #0 quickly that but few in the room knew of the ocurrence. He apologized to Madame C., and continued ‘the dance. At the supper a table was spread for the Prince and his suite. At the other tables the company acted upon the principle you are so strenuous for in the management of ‘the telegraph lines, of ‘first come first serv. ed.” At the Prince's table the health of the Queen and Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales ‘and success to the city #f Quebec were all drunk, but no ‘esponses were made. ‘There was another incident: A large looking glass in fhe ball room fell and broke in pieces, creating much Commotion amongst the company. The Catholics, of ‘whom there were quite a oumber present, considered it B very bad omen, but on questioning them they cannot ‘tell precisely of what. ‘The Prince left the ball room at half-past four o'clock this (Wednesday) morning. The rest of the company dispersed about five o'clock, when the lights bad bagun to pale and grow dim in the light of the early morning. To-day the Prince bas his bair eat, and the barber, quite an enterprising man, with an eye to the main @hance, proposes to sell the locks shorn from the head of ‘this scion of royalty, as souvenirs. He has already re- ovived s large number of orders, and will doubtless be Able to dispose of the whole quantity. ‘The Prince visite fhe convent and citadel; he will also Probably visit the Lorette, and attend the races. ‘There is a rumor afioat that the Ear! of Mulgrave is to be appointed Governer General of Canada, vice Sir Rd- ward Head. The Earl of Mulgrave is said to have admit- ted that quch a thing was probable. ‘The Prince deviated altogether from the published pro gramme to-day. He was to goto the Lorette races, but ‘went to the Laval Roman Catholic University inatead. ‘The provinolals are greatly excited about the question ‘An adress expressing loyal welcome to the Princ, and ambiguously worded, with the hope that British rale might remain and exteud, was presented by Bishop Fioa, To these the Prince read the following reply, in English only — 1 ith the (GexT mes —| war a my course may be such as will promote the welfare of this great ‘ince, and of its inhabitants. To you, gentlemen, who are engaged within the walls of this building, in the education of the | ‘outh of the country, {also tender my thauks. | trust you universally may continue to prosper, and that jo future years its son’ may look back upon the days they hare spent under your institutions with the same | gratitude sense of benefit they have enjoyed, as I aud others feel towers the more ancient institutions of my | own land, } From the University, the Prince drove to the Ursuline | convent, which bas never been opened to male visiters | since the Prince’s grand father, the Duke of Kent, was admitted. By a rule of the convent, all males but those of royal birth are excluded. In the large room a throne was erected, and the Prince | ‘was received by sixty young ladies of the first families of (Canada, who sang a song of welcome, and at each men- | tion of the Prinee’s or the Queen’s name made low cour. | tesies. The eflect was most beautiful and novel. | ‘The ladies presented the addrees to the Prince, who | read a brief reply, thanking them for their kindness, and | concluding “‘ yours exertions in the course of education | are well known, and I trust may Jong continue to exert | ‘a beneficial influence upon the population of this interest: | ing country.”” The Prince was then shown through the | convent, and a skull said to be that of Montcalm, was ex- hibited to him. . On hie return the Prince dined in State at Parliament Bouse. Sanderson, formerly of the New York Hotel, the Prince’s chief steward, was very successful in wining golden opinions. There were many difficulties thrown in his way by provingials at first, and be was compelled to purchase bis game direct from the United States. ‘The Prince visited and inspected the Citadei this after. | noon, but did not attend the races, which, with only , about one bunured people there, were perfect failnres. | To-night the town is illuminated, and a grand display of Boston fireworks in the Esplanade, which the Prince viewed from his carriage. We were wrong in regard to the Prince’s fall jast even. tng. It was the lady who assisted him to rise, and soon ‘as the dance was concluded the Prince informed one of | the navy officers that he had had a spill on ship board. — He said that as he had never knighted any one, he did | not know but that he might cut the Quebec speakers’ heads off. This remark was recalled by the conduct of Sir Henry Smith, knighted yesterday, who goes about giving his name grandly as Sir Henry. The roads about Quebec are all arrayed with flags to- day, and the Lorette Indians are drawn up in front of | their village, with all sorts of dressee—women in beaver | hate and men in bonnets; but the Prince did not drive out. The Fiying Fish left for Montreal this morning, an | the Prince follows in the Kingston to-morrow. ‘Thompson. Wood's secretary, bas been unofficially in- formed that the Prince will accept the invitation of the Mayor of New York, and accept as many demonstrations as people like to make. Twenty thousand people were assembled to witness the display of fireworks. Few and faint cheers were heard when the Queen or Prince’s name occurred, and the French asked—‘‘What is all this noise about?” ‘There are many romors among the English in regard to the designs of the Frenchmen, As a sample of these we give the current report, that two Frenchmen have taken | oaths to assassinate the Prince at Montreal. The French | treat this report with levity, and say that the Queen of | England bas plenty more sons to supply the Prince's | Place. A eeat broke down on the esplanade during the exbibi- tion, and many persons were injured, two severely. At the bail last evening a young midshipman bad are gular quiezing match with the Prince, which created moch merriment, The Prince joked him about dancing with six footers of women; and the middy replied by asking ‘Why can’t you introduce a fellow to one of your handsome partners?’ The Prince laughed, and good na- turedly introduced middy to a lady with whom he was dancing. The Duke of Newcastle remarked, our little man is baving a fine time. The ladies took paper and sealing wax from the Prince’s state room in the Hero, and pens from his dreesing room atthe ball, but the Prince never entered the dressing room. ‘The French take matters quite coolly, and display no extra enthusiasm, The Dake of Newcastle is much an- noyed that there should be so much French in the cele. bration. They could not raise a hearty English choer last night at the ball,or when the Queen’s name was mentioned, or the national anthem played. There ig much excitement abowt town, and barroom fights at the hotels last and this evening. The rush of loyalty is here very thin. Annexed is a list of persons injured by the fall of seats at the reworks —Councillor Shaw and two daughters, badly hurt: Counciller Muna, leg broken; Rey.

Owing to the wet and misty weather, rough clothes, in. cluding waterproofs, were im general use on board. When the steamer was near Cape Eternity som@of ber guns were fired, in order that the party might be amused by hearing the cohoor that rang back from the rocks around, and the effect was as fine as anticipated. The next morning dawned more favorably than its pre- decessor, and the Prince re-embarked in the little steam- er, and sailed again up the Saguenay as far as the village of St. Marguerite, at the mouth of the river of that name, where he spent the greater portion of the morning in fish ing, alike With those who accompanied him. But unfor- tunately he bad no luck, and only a few trout were caught by the united rods. ‘After luncheon the entire party, taking advantage of the tide, ascended the St. Marguerite in birch canoes, paddied by French Canadians, the Prince being, as ever, foremost in this aquatic procession. ‘The Flying Fish, having om board many of the officers of the squadron jaiso steamed up the Saguenay on the same day, and aa she passed the tente where the Prince’s, standard bung from ita staff, a salute of twenty-one guns was fired by her, the echoes of which muttered in sub- lime aocenta from the neighboring cliffs and more distant bills, In the course of the day, a gentleman, who had come ¢fom London, Canada Wert, to urge bis Royal Highness’ Acceptance of an invitation to a ball there, was introduced by the Goyernor General, through the Duke of Newcastle | fame, very, who brushed against them recetved a little of it. This g i i t on Bar Reef, at the mouth of Saguenay, the Priace would bave gailed up in ber: a} but on the occurrence of this kind within t#o days—be the Goveruor General’s steamer that was to have followed. ‘The boat in which I made the excursion up the Saguenay took ip at Murray Ba, pout between the Riviere du Loup and Quedec, ndred additional passengers, which resulted in @ tremendous rush for the dinner tables when the doors of the dining saloon were thrown openg for “first come, firss served,” was the guiding rale on the occasion. 1 need not describe the bright and beautiful scenery of the st. Lawrence, for the theme has been long and oft dilated upon, and as time presses I must hurry on, The Isle cf Orleans, within five mies of Quebec, divides the river joto the north and south channels, and has a very pietureraue effect. It was called by Jacques Ca-tier the sie of Bacchus, owing to the number of wilt vines that in his day—some time darivg 1535—fourished over ite extent. It is twenty one miles jong and Gwe broad, Its upper extremity is bear the mouth of the Montmorency river, and within full view of the falls of that name, @ pleasing glimpee of which U obtained from the steamer’s deck, a8 they are situated only a few hundred yards from the main channel of the Bt. Lawreace, and conspicuously vieibie to all passing. On the north side of the highest point of land on the itland may be seen the second of a chain of flag and ball telegraphs erected by the British during the last, Ameri- can war, and extending from Quebec to Green Isiand, op- posive the mouth of the Saguenay, Vi and churches | May now be seen «n either side of the river; and loom! abead, at the curve of the river, near its junction wit ‘the St. Charles, stands the imposing city of Quebec, sita- ated, for the most part, on a cliff three hundred and ff feet bigh, and defended on the St. Lawrence side by a ci- tadel, and elsewhere bj ramparts. Nun vessels withia ‘view, while jumerous were sailing higher up than the city lay a fleet of merchant craft, with the frigate Nile and the Valoroug, both of which had ar- rived at ten that morning from Prince Edward Island, lying in the foreground.

There is not a house to be seen without its fing or its evergreen or illumination device, and every word the people utter, whether in French or English, ex- presses genuine loyal pleasure at the visit of the Prince of Wales. It is now balf past three, and the Hero drops anchor. Under a circular wooden canopy, fronting the landing stepa, are gathered the Governor General and the Ministry, in their civic uniforms of blue and gold; the British Minis ter at Washington, Lord Lyons, and his two attachés: the commander of the forces, Sir Fenwick Williams, of Kars; the Protestant and Roman Catholic bishops, and several of the Catholic clergy, all in their robes; tho layor of the city and several of the Municipal Council, together with otper officers civil and military, and many | members of the Legislature.

The decorations over the whole line of route were very abundant and the cheering vociferous. Crowds lined the whole way, and every window had its occupants. Arch succeeded arch at short intervals from the wharf to the Government House, a distance of more than five miles, and nearly every arch had its motto and device. The procession, on arriving at St. Johns toll gate, opened fives, facing inward, and lined the road for the pas- fage of the Prin: od other carriages. the evening the ilvminations presented from the river a lovg apd glittering line, which was the finest sight of the kind Dever saw. In detail, however, they were Jess imposing, although, for Quebec, they were quite equal to what I had anticipated, and did much credit to the city. As at Halifax, on the might appointed for the gene ral iNumipation, the weather was dark and wet, and the showers which bad fallen at intervals throughout the day made the streets exceedingly muddy. Yet, notwith- eadog, the streets were thronged with perambulating crows I bave reen much finer illuminations than those of to- pight, but they were produced by gas jets, whereas those of Quebec were chiefly tran cies lighted with oil lamps and candles. The illumination was universal, and, as & whole, far surpassed the display of the kind made at Halifax. Yet the reception here will doubtless be far eclipsed by Montreal, where the loyal hand of preparation has been long busy. and the resources, in many respects, ‘ater, Dut in others less, for it lacks the massive fortifications of this fine old city, and its port will be graced by no ships of war. These give an eclat to auch ‘an ovation as the present which cannot be otherwise at. tained, although as regards a genuine outburet of feeling im the cause of welcome to their royal visiter, Montreal will not, I think, be behind Quebec. Qurnec, August 20, 1860. Proposed Federation of the Province, with the Prince of Wales as Viceroy—The Prince at Church—His Visit to Iwill commence my present letter by making allueion to what I bave hitherto remained sileat,upon, namely, & federation of the British North American provinces, with, very likely, Albert Edward, Prinee of Wales, as Viceroy. ‘This, | baye every reason to believe, is not only possible, Dut bighly probable. The Duke of Newcastle, who has long been the chief supporter of moderate liberalism in England, is not here merely as an attendant upon royalty, but to ascertain the state of feeling throughout these colonies, with a view to the consolidation referred to in the event of such being at any time deemed desirable by the mother coun try; for circumstances may arise in which such a uojon would not only give her strength, but insure safety to ‘these possessions. The feeling throughout the provinces is universally in favor of such a consolidation of England's colonial em pire in North America. The inhabitants are averse to the distinctions of Newfoundlanders, Nova Scotians, New Bruntwickers, Prince Edward Ielanders, Canadians and British Columbians. They wish to be all included under the one general head, and have cne government in com- mon, which, from ite superior extent, would inure greater rewards and more bonors than now exist among them. ‘There is so much petty party bickering now in exist ence in the North American colonies, that the system must be enlarged to avert the distaste of its breaking in pieces. It is, 1am certain, the political future of the whole of British America to become one, to be ruled by a single Legislature, and % bave laws in common. But how soon ‘this result will be arrived at 1 cawnot say, Meanwhile England is well aware of her necessity for maintaining the prestige which the possession of these colonies secures ber, and the immensity of the disaster which their loss would inflict upon her political standing. A war between By \d and France would, under the present Emperor, probably lead to the capture of one or more of the British colonies referred to, but it is probable that were a politi cal union of the provinces to exist, such would never occur. They would in themselves be too strong for any Buch attempt to meet with success, Y morning the Prince drove ia an open car- riage from the residence of the Governor General to the English cathedral, where be attended Divine service. as at cton, members of the congregation only were admitted previous wo his arrival, in company with the Go- vernor, his own suite, and the other distinguished per- souages now officially in Quebec. When, at half-past ten, the party arrived, were received at the side door by the bishop and clergy of the cathedral, who bowed most graciously. The Priuce then led to the Governor General's pew, which had been fitted up with crimson velvet, throne and sofas for the occasion. His Royal Highness sat in the centre, having on his right the Duke of Neweastic, Kari St. Germains and General Williams, the latter, strange to say, in uniform; and on bis left the Governor General, Lord Lyons, General Bruce, and one of hin equerries, ‘Tho others oocupied adjoining pews. ‘The bishop preached an excellent sermon, at te end of which, and then only, he made brief but’ gractal allu sion to the presence of the Prince. No demonstration was mage by the people in the streets as the royal party drove past, and pedestriane were nearly as few and the general quiet as complete as op an ordinary Sunday. 1 am sorry to say that all who attended the cathedral service were not careful observers of the Eighth com- mandment, for | heard of several cases in which the light-fingered gentry bad abstracted iccre from the pockets of others by surreptitious agency; and, from Other instances of the kind which bave occarred, fan disposed to think the printed caution to “Beware of pick- pockets,” exhibited in the hotels here, it not unnecessary, ‘The Prince remained at home during the rest of the day.

NEW JERSEY POLITICS.

Among the arrivals in our city yosterday was recorded that of the Hon. Stephen A, Douglas at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. After « pleasure and business tour through a con. siderable portion of the Eastern apd Northwestern States, be now turns bis steps southwards. It was his intention to bave continued his course and to have made no halt here, but through some misunderstanding as to travelling arrangements be war detained « night, of whieh advan. tage Was taken by bis friends in Newark who bad a mass weetivg convened for inst night, and who, on notification of his arrival in New York, sent on a deputation to invite him to visit them, and to address bis supporters in that city on the great issues of the day. Mr. Douglas bas shown himeeif nothing loth to bold forth upon every occasion of late, and be at once acoept- ed the invitation of the deputation from Newark to give the people of that city a short dissertation on his fa- vorite doctrine. Consequently, as might have been ex pected, when the fact was known that among the esser lights who were to have illuminated the meeting with their presence, the Little Giant himeelf— the bead and front of their offending—was to appear, an immense concourse of Dougias democrats gathered to- gether; and long before the hour appointed the streets of the city resounded t the monic of several bands and the tramp of a jong array of excited procemijoniste with torebes. The meeting was held in the Library Hall, but it waa found entirely ineufficlent to accommodate the crowds who thropged in from the first opening of the doors, Every seat was occupied, and the prest of people who fought even standing room, combined with ‘the jammed occupants of the forms, was such as to ren. der the place intolerably uneomfortab!e ‘The only decoration in the hal! was a pioce of canvas stretehing across the of the stage, with the worde—"S.

Other speakers followed, and it was pretty late in the pight when the Cha'rman announced that they would al! go in procession and serenade Mr. Douglas at bie hotel from the balcony of which, he had sent word, be would address them. ‘THE SERENADE AND SPEECH. Very soon after this announcement the assembiage began to manifest impatience, and it was deemed advisa- ble to dissolve the meeting aud repair at once to the hotel. There was an immediate rush to the doors, and the hall was very quickly deserted. Around the hote) there were gathered some three or four thousand peopie, and without much delay intervening from the arrival of the Chairman and his friende, Mr. Douglas, the lion of the night, appeared on the piazza cf the hotel, and was re- ceived with loud cheers. THE SPERCH. Mr. Douglas, having ascended a table, spoke as fol- lows:—Feliow citizens and democrats of Newark, I did not come here tonight for the purpose of making @ public speech. For the last few days | have travelied hh large portion cf New England, and I have addressed =my fellow citizens on the political which now absorb eo creat @ propertion ot the public attention. 1 gladly avail myself of this spontaneous meeting for the purpose of <Gieere notes with you on theee political questions. (Cheers Ibave no poiitical opinions which may not be ay in New Jersey in the same manner a8 I would avow thera in illinois and in Virginia, in the same asl would avow them in New England, to long as we live undera constitution which is common to all the Staves of the Union alike. (Cheers.) Every politica: creed rust be wrong which cannot be avowed io the States in preeisely the same terms. Remembering that the Father of his Country, in his farewell ad dress, cautioned his countrymen ageinst the for- mation of sectional parties as the greatest evil that could befall the country. I appeal now, therefore, to you, ‘and ask you whether or not we are now threatened with that very danger againet which the immortal Washingion cautioned his countrymen / (Cheere, and criee of That's £0.) We find two great parties agitating the country from one end of it t the other—one a Northern party and the other a Southern party—the one appealing to tbe passions and prejudices of the North ag againet the Soutn, and the other appealing to the passioas and prejudices ci Uke South agains: their brethern in the North. The re- publican party demand that the federal government shal) prohibit siavery wherever the people desire actually to have it, the Sovthern secessionists, on their part, demand Ubat Congress shal] maintain and protect slavery wher- ever the people are actually opposed to it and do not want it. (Choers and cries of “That's so.'') So that you seo neither of these parties desire to have Congress intervene in behalf of the popular wiil, but against the ewe popular will. The democratic principie i, that w! ver the people want to bave slavery there they will have it, and there they will maintain and protect it by law, through their own local Legisiatcres; and wherever the people of & State or Territory do not wast slavery, there they will probibit and exclude it in the same manner. (Cheers) Thie is demo- ) cratic doctrine, my friends, Bat the republican party tell you that they are not in favor of non-intervention, except on the very place where the people want slavery. But where the peopie do not want it they will not bave is protected there, and that the republicans will 90t inter- fere, but strange inconsistency wherever the people do want it, wherever the climate renderg | neceveary, and the people pase laws to pretect jt, there the republicane alld interpose and prohibit glavery by acts ot Congress. (Cries, “That's right,” and laughter.) On tho other band, the Southern secessionists, ing that Congress shonld only intervene for the protection of slavery wherever — slavery really necessary, cemand that we shall pass for the recognition and protection of slavery in every place, whether ne- ceseary for the people or An evil to them, tous we fod the Northern republican party and the Southern seces- sionist party agreeing in principle. They both agree that: Copgress can and ougbt reguiaie every question im the Territories, They agree that Congress has the power, as itis her duty, to control the question of slavery as 're- the Territories, and they agree also on thie, that Congress should control and settie that question in favor of their own section as against the opposing one. (Cheers. > But the democraiic party stands upon its own un- shaken platform—the platiorm upon which it stood for ro many yearr—on the principle that Congress should pot and most not interfere with the question of slavery at all, | question, either in the States or the Territories ted States. (‘Good boy,’ cheers and laughter.) trolling princ!ple of the Gemoeratic doctrme ie— “No interfetence by Congress with tbe domestic affairs or institutions of the peor iu f New Mexico desire a slave code they Two years ago they paseed Abrovgh their Territorial Le a people adopted it by an npauimous republicans desire that Congress # But I say to them that Congress shail never repeal that law #0 long as [can prevent them, (Loud ebeers.)

But if n be a jaw let those whomado it and aecepted {t suffer under it Ull they get sense enough to repeal it. (Cheers and aries of “Good.”) As it was with the people of Kansas. They tried slavery for two years afver the organization of the Terri- tory, but they focnd it did not answer, and they then probibited slavery in the Territory. Bet now we are told by the Southern ‘secersionets that it is the doty of Congress to force slavery into ® Territory agacet the wishes of the people. (A voice—“That’s a damned bad law.” Laughter and cheers) But I may to them—the 8 uthern secessioniete— that flavery never shall be forced rpow any people of Ubere States or Territeries, against the will of Ube people, if Loan prevent it. (Loud and continued cheer ing.) if the le of Kaneas want alavery, they ere welcome to it, and let them adopt it, but if they do not want it, it shall not be forced upon them. 1h i® po argument to say that slavery is ® good thing, or that {t @ bad thiog.
