W., Sept. 14, 1880. ‘This morning | was officially announced that the Prince had appoined the regiment of volunteers, com- manded by Col. Wiley, which bas acted as his guard of honor since be left Montreal, to be called the Prince’s Own, and receive a stand of colors from his hand. The Gremen gave a bal) last evening, which exceeded ‘wm jollity the grand ball at which the Princo was present. Fpgiish and American flags were about equally displayed, the fremen saying that they were organized on the American plan and felt about half Americanized. Mr. Brock mire, the Queen’s own courier, precedes the Prince im the United States and examines and inspects the Botels, deciding at which the Princo is to stay. It is an- | over the Falla to-morrow, and talked much about this mounced, unofficially, but with some certainty, that the Prince stays at the Zimmerman Mansion, at Niagara; at Detroit, Russell's Hotel; at Chicago, the Richmond fiouse; 4 St. Louis, Barnum’s, and at Cincinnati, the Barnet. The Prince returns by way of Indianapolis, and stays | there one day. At Pittsburg he stops at the Monongahela | ‘Bouse. . He has been advised to vie\t the Mammoth Cave, but be Governor-General thinks it is not worth while; and ‘Procseding to Washington, he stays with the President ‘end takes his advice as to his fature movements al- At New York he will, as far as arrangements now g¢, stay at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mrs. Partsh’s, Mrs. Baight’s, and Spingler Institute, have been spoken of. Mayor Wood's residence is regarded as being too far up town. ‘A levee may be held in New York, but the Prince will propably hold a sort of levee at the grand ball. ‘The Canadian Ministry wish to be, and should be, invited to the ball in New York. The Prinee fell asleep in the cars yesterday, and rubbed bis eyes wearily at the State dinner, which was a most Ptately concern. At dunner the Prince seems neither affable vor talkative. Be took snuff freely during dinner, sendiog his servant around the long table to a gentleman who sat directly Opporite him, for the enufl. The gentleman, with demo- €ralio directness, pushed bis box acroes the table instead ‘f giving it to the servant, and was the observed of all ebecrvers during the rest of the dinner The American flag ts now placed upon the Prince's Aable at déjewners, suppers and balls equally with the Rnglich, and at the ball last night the first tne played wan!

A pretty pavilion was ereeted back of the Mayor's ree! dence, and several addresses were read. The !'rince did vot reply. Several gentlemen were then presented, and for the iret time, ladies were jookers oa at this umpromp- ta levee. The ride back to the train was the same dusty helter skelter race, and all wore clad to get back to the train which immediately slarte, the Prince and suite langhing at this novel ovation. ‘The Duke of Newcastle did not attend w ith the l'rinee, but Kept bis car and couch al! day, quite unwell.
