Reminiscences and Realities of the Royal Visit to America. YANKEE INDEPENDENCE, Rary Rey Ber Cxrcrrnans, Sept. 50, 1860, ‘The ba!) iv honor of the Prince at the Opera House, got- ten up under the superintendence of Mr. Pike, bas been a Driliiant feature of the royal visit. Cards of invitation flew the occasion, gotten up in the highest order of Ame- vieam typography and ornamentation, were issued and sent to the prominent citizens. ‘The managers of the aifair, by the phraseology of the “+ cards,” seemed to adopt the Hrray’s plan of disoard- ‘mg the unevphouious name applied to the royal guest, @f Lord or Baron Renfrew, as their tickets expressly tated that the ball was for the “ Reception of His Royal ‘Highness the Prince of Wales.” The Opera House, where the bal) was held, was most brilliantly illuminated, and the parquette was tloored over to the stage, open to the wall and decorated with natural flowers. In size the building is almost as large as the Academy of Music io New York. The Prince’s headquarters at ibe Burnett House wero besieged from the time of his arrival by a large but or- Geriy agsembiage of citizens, all muxious to get a peep at ne Royal Highness, Long before the Prince’s departure for the ball, his botel—the Burnett House—was literally surrounded by a Jarge, patient and anxious arsemblage of citizens. Now and then they were ‘‘sold” by false reports of the de. parture of the Prince; but the chagrin and disappoint- ment were trausformed into good humor, Talking about “erowds of people” brings the application of the term to the Cincinnati Opera House, Long before the Prince made his appearance every avenue leading to it was filled witD humanity. After many cheers and mistakes on the part of the crowd, the Prince at last arrived, precisely at tea o'clock. Tho Ball Committee held a brief conference with him in regard to partners, and the whole party were then taken into « private box. Be waa dressed in evening dress, with white neckcloth, ae were all the suite. In the frst dance Lord Hinchen- Drook danced vis a vis. About one thousand richly dressed persons were pre went, The ball room was strikingly beautifal ; the exten- sion stage was arranged with colonade scenery io the eskgrovund, and the fropt of the parquette was richly ermamented with evergreens and ostural flowers. The eeate im the parquette were occupied by the creme de la sreme of Cincinnat! tociety. After afew momenta delay the ball was commenced With the old fashioved promenade. The Prince then opened ibe bal), the royal party and others dancing upon the stage, « fow others on the parquette, The first dance was the “Jubilee” quadrilie, the Prince baving for bie partner Mrs. Col. Pike, wife of one of the committee, the proprietor of the Opera Houee, and the originator of ube bal). Be danced the tecond quadriile with Miss Groesbeck, nughter of the Hon. John Groesbeck, ex-M.C., and one ef the committee; the third quadrille with Miss Taylor, of Newport, Kentucky, that State being Jargoly represented; and the fourth dance, the Lancers,” with Miss H. Me- Gregor, of Mount Auburn; also with Mise Hilton, the daughter of one of the State Judges. ‘The company was very much confused in the dances, by not baying the Sgures distinctly announced. Tuis @uty devolved on the leader of the orchestra; but as hia ‘volce was either weak, or could not be distinctly heard, ‘the Prince was very much bewildered and somewhat tapused by the deficiency to which we have alluded. At Crest bis Royal Highness ontered into tho spirit of the Qfair rather slowly and formally, but by degrees became quite animated. The Prince took a partner for a walt; ‘Dut discovering that the lady could not waltz, be refused bo take another partcer, amd waited for the next quad rile. ‘The programme was given to the Prince for a selection - Of dances, and be adhered strictly to quadrilies, with ine exception of the last. ‘The Prince, though apparently yery much em- berrested at times, chatted with his partners, led thom ‘to their guardians, and promenaded around the room, to ‘the intense eatisfaction of all. ‘The Prince aleo made several mistakes, aot being aw felt in American style; but he oon recovered himself, fend enjoyed himself in Lie agaal style, ‘There was 0 supper provided, and the royal party len at half-past twelve o'clock. Altogether the affair could either be called s great failure nor a great success. It may bo ranked between these two extremes. No doubt the Prince valued it as a rehearsal for the great bail as the New York Academy of Masic. ‘This morning the Prince and suite visited St. Jobn's ebercb. There wase large crowd of spectators at the hotel and in the vicinity of the church, The Prince en- tered the side door to ayold any demonstration on bis Rocount. Be was dreseed as usual, and cocupled an eligi Die front reat. Some people tay be ts looking seedy; but he is proba- Diy saving hie ‘best clothes” for hie New York visit. Few perrovs were admitted to the chureb; nobody except ‘the pewhoiders and their (riends. Bishop Molivaine preached the termon, from the Seventh chapter of the Book of Revelations, ninth sed tenth verses, No allusion was made im the course of the service to the I'rince’s pre tenor, The Queen, bis mother, was incidentally men toed, ao well as the Lille of the Chief Magistrate of the Union, in the prayer in bebalf of national ralers, General Broce was the only pergon ia the royal suite that kneeled during prayer. ‘The congregation wat very attentive aod decorow, and afforded & pleasant contrast to the inordinate disp/ay and bluster exhibited on the Prince's tour through Canada. At the close of the services the Prince shook hands with the venerable biebop, and subsequently retired to his botel, peesirg throug te door.

The exhibi- tion was of a private character, those present numbering some sixty or seventy, being there by private invi ‘ation, and may of them distinguished amateurs in the elegant and delightful game.

St. George’s church, Stuyvesant square, was crowded yesterday morning by a highly respectable and faehion- able congregation, most of whom, apart from the regular worshippers at thischurch, were drawn together to hear 8 digcouree from the Right Rev, Geo. Smith, Lord Bishop of the See of Victoria, in the British settlement of Houg Kong, China. Among the audience we noticed the Rev. Edward Lechmero Ellis, of the Protes ant Epiecopa Church im the Island of Jamaica, The services bezan at balf-past ten o'clock, and were condacted with all the folemn sinplicity peculiar to the Aoglicam Church. The Rev. Dr, Tyng, assisted by « young clergyman, conducted the communion and morn'ng services, and the choir was particularly effective, The Right Reverend Bishop Sarr ascended the pulpit, and selected bis text from the thirteenth chapter of the Epistle ef Paul the Apostic to the Hebrews, the tenth verse ‘We have an altar whereo! they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle.’ The first part of the dis- Course was to show the connection existing between the Bock of Leviticus aud the Fpistle to the Hebrews~ the material and ceremonial ordinauces of the frst receiving their fuldiment apd accomplien ment in the other, The Epistle to the He brews was addressed to those Jews who had be- come Christian converts, without altogether losing their old attachment for their anctent ceremonial faith, aca the ordinances of the Levitical law frequently became great obstacles to their proper understanding of the plain, simple and merciful provisions of the Christian law. The words of the text were directed to theee wavering people, who were thus instructed that thoee who rerved on the tabernacle had no right to partuke of the aliar of the Chritt;1n—the Christian privileges being above all oluers. From this the Bishop proceeded to examine, firet, into the coptrad) tinction and comtrast between the Jewish tabervacle and the Christian altar; and, :condly. to de- yelope and explain the great truth which @ contained in the text. Thie the right reverend geutlemen accompliehed ia a troly powerful manuer. His words were traly elo- Guent, aud hit clear and silvery voice pealed like belle throvgh every part of tbe church. after a severly theological exporition of the precise meaning of the words ““allar” and “tabernacle,” and the Application of the words of the text toa! profesting Christiane, tna 8 incidentally adverted to the condition of Eagiiah merican Protestant missions in China and Japan.
