On the ether hand, there is a failing off in the customs of more than £1,400,000, and on miscellaneous £245000 The @eorease in customs and duties for the quarter and the year may be attributed principally to the remitted da- ties. The decrease on excise for the quarter is only ap- parent, and arises from the altered period of collecting the malt duties, consequent on the shortened term of oredit. The increase on excise for the year ‘# derived from the ebertening of the malt credit. which bas realized £7,000,000, and improved the receipts generally, The large increase on the year may be ex- lained by the additional duty for tho last dnancial year ‘Being collected in thie first half of the year pow ending.

The grand ball which formed the culminating point in the visit of the Prince of Wales to the me- tropolis of the New World is over, and it has proved a great success. Never before was seen within the limits of the Empire City such an assemblage of genius, talent, wealth and beauty. The scene was gorgeous and almost daz- zling in its obrilliancy, and our royal | guest and suite have now had a fair opportunity of realizing to the fullest extent the magnificent hospitality of our people. It was such a mark of respect and good feeling as even the subjects of his Queen mother might not surpass; and New York has in this instance every reason to be proud of the success which has attended her efforts to do honor to our illustrions and distinguished visiters. | But our readers shall judge for themselves from the following panoramic view of the whole affair. Every precaution was taken by the committee to prevent confusion or disorder, and especial care was devoted to the getting up and issn- ing of the ball tickets. The manner in which the Japanese bal! was carried out conveyed a salutary lesson, which was not neglected on this occasion. The card of invitation was just what it should have been—simple, unadorned and unaffected. It is of plain white Bristol board, about five inches wide by seven inches in length, and on it is en- graved, in beautiful chirography, with little or no flourish, the following, pec ey of course, the names:— OR PEPEOO PETE IOPOTOEOLEIEOPOEEL OL OL OE POLE EERE LE HEED TH GENKAAL COMMIITES OF ARRANGEMENTS IN 3 VITE MR.

ATTACK ON THE PKINCE OF WALES. AN ENGLISHMAN THE ASSATLANT—RIS ARREST AND DIRCHARGB, AND ALLEGRD INSANITY, BTO., RTO. An incident of a gery startling aod unpleasant vatare coourred yesterday morning a8 the Prince of Wales was taking b # departare from the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on his tour through the city. The crowd around the hote! waa ‘mmenre, and tho stirring neture of the occasion had probably the effect of over exciting the Lerves of the priv cipal actor in the dastardly act which we areabout to Barrete, The Prince and bis eulte bad already stepped = from) sos the «stately §=mansion into «the Carriages which wore i writing for them, id the cheers and tamultuoys noise of the great conce arse of people aesembied around the building. Pho carriages were jast starting, when a man steppod out from the rest of the crowd and near the carriage io whieh the Prince of Wales waa riding. He instantly pot iqeelf ina pugilistio attiteds, and, as the osrring? of hie Royal Highness was parsing, made a heavy blow of bie fiet at him, at the same time apply ing a most oppro- brious epithet to the youthful Prince, He then died — “You will never be King of Fogland if you were to live for ono hnadred years. The time for kings ts gone.” The Prince enmpod the blow directed against bim, how ever, and before bia adversary had daished hie ejarw Jations the cartivge bad driven him out of bewrlog distance. Of courte this ctroumetacde aroneed grovt te terest, curiosity and excitement, ant ow that the Prince was gone the offending sssailant of bie Roya) Bighnese was the centre of attention. The mob premed sround the man,and before be could do anything to wards effecting bis escape a policeman bad him in charge. His arrest was made by officer Rhedes, of the Highteenth precinct, who removed bias to the stasioa- bouse in Twenty second street, whithor he was escorted ‘by aboge mob yelling and shoutiog, hootig and bissing ip the most buisterous manner, Tuere were some ories of lynch bim,” aad others of “ let him go,” and thet be would shoot him; bat he was fualty-safely shut up tm the statioshouse, Here he etated that he is a sailor, belonging to tho river boat Senta Claus, now ly ing at Greenpoint, Willlamaburg; tha be came over to e¢e the fellow ail the sensible democrats "Ot New York were rushing ¢o eee, and that he was @e- termined to show him what he thought of aristoorate, He gave hie neme as Edward Morcan, and stated that he wate native of England. He isa man of about five foot seven inches in height, Wght complexioned, ant appearance of a plumber or tiosmith, or ms hinist; something in that line rather than that of « sailor. was next taken before Justice Comnoliy, who, after hear- jog the case, discharged the offender with a reprimand, In this the Justice acted very unadvisedly, as it waa by no means pradent to discharge s dangerous character, who is congidered maniacal, acd who had threatened to shoot the Prince of Wales. The police say that Mor- can Ghad a wild jook about him, and talked like @ mon> maniac. STATEMENT OF AN EYE WITNESS. Mr. E 7. Woodward, of No.5 Hoyt street, Breoklyn, es that he was present on the oocation of the alleged Attempt to assault the Prince in the vicinity of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and having read the accounts published fo the evening papers of Friday, he pronoanoes them wholly at variance with tho facts as they transpired. He ocoupied ® position on the corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty third street, near the carb; there was a large crowd ia his rear, but not uncomforta bly Bo, all awaiting the appearance of the Prince as be proceeded en route from his hotel to the Central Park. He bad waited there but afew minutes when the royal party, iu carriages, came out on Twenty-third street, ani when turning into Fifth avenue, and while the spectators were exchanging salutations with the Prince, an excited indi vidual, im the rear of Mr. Woodward, made a hostile demonstration with his fist, at tho same time ejaculating something which those standing near bim interpreted into threats of hostility to hia Roya! Higboers. Mr. Woodward immediately caused the arrest of the offender, who was taken to the Jefferson Market Police Court. Mr. Woodward states emphatically that the Prince did pot see the belligerent demonstrations referred to, nor did be hear any such Ispguage as has been impu- ed to the offender, as published in Jast evening’s papers. Afier the fellow was arrested there was no unusual ex- citement, nor were any threats made of lynching, bang- ing or shooting this impromptu offender, THE PRINCE'S VISIT TO THE UNIVERSITY. The honor of tho first visit of the round of such which the Prince may feel it his pleasure to make during his short aojourn in this city bas, perhaps, properly enough fallen to the University, or rather to the principals of that institution. In noticing the fact, it may be added that such a prefereace was due to the character of the insti tution as an educational establishment, from the young Prince, whose father, ever since he began to take a pub Vc imtereet in the affairs of Eogland, has shown himself the friend and patron of learning, as well as of the srts and sciences, and all kindred pureuithof like character, and who has been ever fore- most in promoting and sustaining every movement in- tended for the moral and intellectual advancement of the English people. In accepting the invitation of the Chan- cellor and principals of the University to visit their insti- tution, and to accept of an address to be presented by them, the young Prince was, no doubt, reminded of the occasion when, while yet s boy, he witnessed the impos- ing ceremony of the installation of his father as Chan- cellor of the ancient University of Oxford. If the face be a true index of the heart—as it always is while the heart is yet young and guileless—then, indeet, did the Prince perform his part in the Kittle act got up for the occasion yebterday. A large party of ladies were specially invited to meet the Prince, and all gentlemen applicants for admission not officers of the institation were strictly excluded, and long before the hour set forth on the notes of invitation— ten o’clock—the chapel of the institution was literally crammed, so far ag the word can be properly appliod where hoops and crizoline are in question, by an ex- pectant crowd of the fair wives, daughters and sistors of all and every—the superiors, officers, students, So, The chapel was entirely devoid of any exira erna- mentation or adornment. But, indeed, it nealed aone beyond what was afforded by the lovely occupants of pews and seats, and every inch of standing room within the walls. Sach a waving of feathers and fluttering o ribbons, and motion of Gowers and rustling of stikesad agitation of fans, was never before,witnessed within the sacred walls of the University chapel. To speak of the intense excitement which pervaded the fair breasts o' all would be s vain task indeed, and therefore we willleve them beating with what intensity they may as tey await the comipg of the Prince, while wo conclude our notice of the interior of the chapel. Sunny and bright as the morning was the gas was Durnirg in the lamps, needlessly indeed, and ser- tainly detracting from the religious associations of the place. No dim religious light waa there, bat through ihe high and parrow windows the sun poured aabrosen streams of light, which, striking on the large stalsed window at the back of the dais, reflected in varied hywe, which rested here and there through the bullding,the borrowed light, while the ladies, with what patience Wey could muster, awaited the eventful moment which wai to usher to their presence the young heir of Eogland’s brad realm, Dodworth’s band discouraed most lugabrbus music. Whethor is was the unaccustoned alr of the place which affected the instruments or whether the same affected the musicians, certain it is tnat Dodworth’s music wan operaing ano damper upon all, wnen suddenly a student rushec in, and, waving « ebort baton adorned with blue ribbons, in- timated to ail THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE. Tt wae a quarter to eleven when the Prince aud siite alighted from their carriages and entered the butldng. At this time an immense crowd had gathered, filling op the breadth of the street for a considerable distance on either side of the building. A clear way was reallly made for the carriages to pass through, md, though the crowd pressed forward immediaely afer to get @ close view of the Prinoe, yet their bebarior was marked with the utmost respect and deference for their city’s young and royal grest Within the main door the students, in academic costeme were lined in double files stretching across the narrow ba | along the ballustrades, and on through the corr! tor to the chapel door, As the Prince advanced the stacents respectfully saluted him by uncovering their beads, but no other demonstration whatever was mate. The arrangements deing under the superintendence of Pro fessor Wedgewood, this gentioman insisted upon this or- der belng observed, in order to guard against a wo noisy man!fertation from the more mercariai of the papils At the head of the marbie staircase the Prince was re colved by Chancellor Forria ia bis robes, who wel- comed bim in a few words. Followed by bis suite—the Duke of Newcastle, Karl St. Germans, General Broce, Lord Lyons, Major General Sandford, anda train of the offcors and pripstpals of the institutiop—the young Prince and his venerable companion entered the chapel, the band playing the Eugli#h national anthem. There was @ general buzz and stir and flatter among the fair audi ence, whore #y mpathies and natural predilections for the royal vieiter must have been at the moment enhancei— behelding bim for the Grst time—bie slender, youthful figure, and fair, bright, genial face, ta contrast with the tall sod aged man beside him, The Prince was dressed in plain elother—binck frock, light vent, and light ovlored penta The sulte were dremsed somewhst simiarly. Two and two, the Prisco and Chancellor leading, they at cended to the platform, on the right of which, tidewaye to the tele, was placed the carved oakeo bigh back Chancellor's chair, to which the Prince was led And invited by a bow to be seated. The suite, in the wrval order of et quette, ranged themselves on either sido of the Prince, while the professors and others oocapied the oppusite side of the platform. Tho Prinoe, by a peca- Har sotion of the head rign ited that he preferred to stand, which be did, during the short time ovoupied by the pro- Cred jt gm. ADDRESS OF THR COUNCIL OF THE UNTVRREITY.

RISOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL. ‘The Chancellor, then addressing the Prince, begged his attention to the following resolutions, adopted ata meet- tog of the council.

The members of tbe suite aino expressed themselves gratified and even rurpriged with the magnificence of the Astor Library aud its arrange ments, and the general appointments and appearance of | the stately building's interior. The entire vigit did Lot oscupy above ten minutes alto gether, from the time the Prince and his attendants ar- | rived at the building until they left.

Besides pedes:rians, quite a number of carriages, light wagons and fashionable vebicies of ali kinds had collected.

How could the Prince help feeling pride and hap- Piness on such sn occasion? The time the Prince arrived at the Library was seven minutes past eleven A.

He said be considered the institutions of New York, so far as be had seen them, very grand. Mr. Couper toformed his Royal Highness that s fine view was commanded It welcome to our halls thie day.

Professor Morse, witha few words of introduction to the Prince, begged leave toaddrees tohin a few words.

THE WOMEN'S LISRARY. Here he was met on the threshhold by & few of the pa- trope of this young but very popular institution, and also by the ladyhke and diligent mansgeress, Mies Powell, The Prince, after introduction, and haying very cordially ebaken bands with the young lady, wat adiremed by her — in a few neatly turned sentences nearly a8 follows: ‘Baron, ‘we are bappy to welcome to & woman's library the noble fon of a royal lady whom the women of America rogard agan bonor and « friend to all womanhood. The Prince smilingly bowed his acknowledgments. He then bowed to the engraving upon the wall, no doubt attracted by » very fine engraving of his royal mother, which Miss Powell, with much taste and good feeling, had surroun!. ed with a beautiful wreath of dowers. From the woman's library the Prince passed into the law library, and without delay thence through the corri- dors towards the siaircase. At the same spot where he was received be bede the Chancellor farewell, and pasa ng through the line of students, and attended by his euite, he once more regained his carriage, and was driven off, amid the lusty and hearty cheers of the peopiec. VISIT TO THE ASTOR LIBRARY. The Mtor Library was honored by « visit from his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and his euite you terday forenoon, Like the rest of the visi ich the distinguished party paid to othor tnatitations throughout the day, It was comparatively private, and to bave itas private as poestble was the desire of the royal visiter and bis advirers. No notices were made of the intentions of the Prines throughout the morning, or of the pregramme by which be was to be guided daring the day. In conse- quence of this very few persons were aware of the pro- gramme, and therefore the number of thowe assembled at the cutrance of tho noble building by which the Prince and his eulte were to cnter did cot exceed one hundred when the carrisges containing the royal party drove up to the door. The movements of the Prince were very quick a’ter the carriagee stopped. He Immediately alighted from bis carriege, aod arm in arm with the Duke of New- conte, aed followed by tho rest of his suite, entered the To mean tine cheers were given by the crowd h was rapidiy inereetiog every ta- bers. Hate end handkerchiefs wore nu wave ed themselves, and sitogether Mr. Cooper is favorably impressed with the entire party. A large crowd hed reached the Cooper Institute before the Prince, 80 rapidly did the news of his movements spread over the lovality. ‘This crowd bad considerably increased when the Prioce’s ‘visit to the buliding was terminated, and, as at the Astor Library, « large namber of carriages also awaited bis ro appearance in the street. Altogether there were possibly one thousand persoma preseot when the carriage was re-occupied by his Royal Highness and the Duke of Neweastio, and « loud cheer aod clapping of bands not cnly followed them into the edifice, bat rang in thetr ears at their departure. The Prince gracefully iwelined his Pgure repeatedly in acknowiledgm: pt of these genuine compliments from the American movarchs, and at length drove off, eacorted as before. The windows ia the vielpity Were once more an Interesting scene of waving bapdkerchicfs and small white hands, and fair, blooming, smiling, lovely faces. The whole time occupied by this ‘visit did not exceed seven or eight minutes. VISIT TO THE FREE ACADEMY. ‘The next halting place of the Prince aud his suite was the corner of Twenty third street aod Lexingwn avenue. Here, as most readers kvow, sands the baad some edifice and institution of the New York Free academy. This the Prince of Wales was now about to honor with his presence and attention. Gen. Sandford was now with the royal party. Andrew IH. Groen, the former President of the Board, and one of the most pro- mipent Commissioners for many years, was introduced bere to the Princo of Wales and his suite by Gen. Sandford. Mr. Green scon after left the party, for the purpose of meeting them again at the Central Park, whither they intended to proceed after their visit to the Free Academy. At the eptrance to the buildiog the par ty were received by Dr. R H. Webster, the President of the college, and introduced to him by Gen. Sand ford. The President raised bis het when intro. duced to the Prisco of Wales, and bowed re. spectfully to bim. The Prince, who, Dr Webster says, ‘ja"very polite in his msoners, considering bie youta,”’ returned the salute in true princely fashion, and then extended his royal hand to the Preridont fur a shake hands, which be readily received. “Will you watk up stairs, sir?’ anid the President “With much pleasure, sir, I aenure you,’ the Prince replied with more than ordinary quickeom Here the Prince and hie suite were shown the library and Introduced to the faculty, who received tho party with adogree of politeness bighly beooming gon. temen of education and reduement. Dr. Webster next conducted the Prince to the lecture room, whore the stu dents, to the number of 700, were sasembled. On entering the room the President announced “Baron Renfrew, who had honored their institotion with a vitit.”’ The ttadenta, who were preriwusly seated, simultaneously arore and waved @ onanimous malnte with their bands, which the Prince returned with a bow and another wave of the royal hand. This was the extent of this ceremony —if it may justly be termed ceremniour— and the Prince and his suite then bowed their adieu, which was courteously acknowlelge’ by the students, and Dr, Webster conducted the party to the apartment io which the register is kept. Tore he asked the Prince if he would desire to sign bis pame aa & visiter to the insti. tution, to which he sail he would #ign it with pleasure, Somehow it opcurred that a pon did pot bappen to be oF band, upon observing whieh the doctor asked the Princ if be would have apy objection t euter bir | name with @ peneil. “1 wonld prefer to write with | & pen, fir,” said the Princes, ard the Pres! | dent thereupon begged him to walt one moment until be went to an aojoining room to procure one The | Prineqeignitied that be would, ond when Mr Welveter re turned and presented bin Rey al Highners with the form! dadle instrament he remarked, ‘1 thank Troe the Prince of Wales wrote “ainert De, a, wir.” (here waa a very general clapping of hands, ‘coly by the ero ed, but alo by partion ip all the neigh. boring Windows Some sitemped to rush into the Li. fine, legible hand vpon ihe college register, The oth members of the euite followed the example of their royal 3 Master, and from this cay forward the register of tha Freo academy bears the riguaturs of ube Prince of Wales # ave of the college the Prince aghiv thook bavde with Dr. Wenster, and bowed hie fare well to the ipetiiunes The Duke of Newcastle and the Fiat of the Prince's suite followed tbe exumgle, and the whole party ogsin took —poreension of their carriages, amid the ex Whosisstec cheers of the large Cove UrHe Of *pectators *bo bad gathored at the outside Of the eaitice. The Prince aod bie mvite again resumed their remblivgs at a quick psce, after baving honored the Free academy with Britiso al presence for about twelve miputes. They were ried by the ordinary bomber of outside carriages, Goe ladies, charming emilee and brightest sursbine. VifIT TO THE CENTRAL PARK, THE PRINCR PLANTS AN Oak AND AN ELM TREE, The Prince and suite, in carrimges, arrived at tbe Parle afew minutes past twelve ociock They were received at the eutrance by and introduced to the Cepiral Park Commissioners, frat to President Blatchford, thea to An- drew H Greev, Exq , the Comptrolier of the Park, and euberquentiy to Commirsioners Hutchings, Field asd Rus sell. The Comm reionere then get into their carriages aud prec ded the cortege throngh the Park The route wus pursued around the carriage road from the Fifty- bith strect eutrance towarde the promesate on the weet gice«f the Pak W & spot west of the Mall, a litte soutbweet of the piace where the Saturday converte ere held, at which piace av interestiog ceremony tools place A¥ 1bis \a the season of the year when the gar- deers plant trees ib the Park, Mr Green, the Comptrol- Jer, beppily suggested tne propriety of inviting the Prince of Wales to plact an oak and ap elm tree, which are cmblematical of the two nations, All the necessary arrangements were made and perfected for the perform- ceremony, such as the preparation of the erooud apd the furujshing of the young sees, ao that when the royal party arrived atethe #ut already inti mated there waa no delay. Over two burdred of the Park laborers were drawn up in asemboircto around the place where the trees were to be planted, « bile a strong force of the keepers, in uoifura prevevted the populare from approaching too near the Priuce and suite It wag severally supposed that the Prince would not vieit the. people's pleasure grounds tii! the afternonn ; consequently hundreds who jntended te avail themselves of that op- portunity torce him were sadly dieapsolnted This ia Dot to be regretted, so far as the comfort of the Prince ig concerned, for had thourands followed bim hous the day he would have neen subjected to great sumoyance, tbe carriages would have beep impeded, and much of the Pleasure he would derive frum « cvmparatively private vie't to the various objects of interest in and around the city would be racrificed. We would say im passing that wo much praise cannot be awarded t the gentlemen hav- ing the carrying out of the programme of yesterday in cbarge for the acmirable manner in which their delicate duties were discharged. There was no offictoussess or bdivater, but, op the contrary, an exhibition of efficiency, good sense and strict propriety im all thetr movements, Although the attendance at the Park was by n0 meang large sbeo the Prirce errived, still the morning was sa plearant that @ large Dumber of private carriages contain- ing she famtites of some of our most distinguiehed citizens wore within the en:losure, aod am soon as it was learned tbat the distinguished viniter was in the Park the carri- were immedistely conducted to the Mall, where the Prince was about to plant the trees. Major General Sandford introduced the Prince to the President of the Cuntral Park Commissiovers, whereupon Mr. Batchford adoressed the young Prince as follows:— Lot Resrrew—Tho Commissioners of the Central Park, to whom the State of New York have eatrusted Ibe coustruction of thie great pleasure ground for the people, bave requested me to ask you to do them the favor to plant bere two treer—one an Euglish oak, tho ovher an American elm = They trugt these trees will flovrish aud remain a lastiog memorial of your visit tq Ania city ant toie Park. Mr Greep then assisted the Prince in placing the tree@ ip position, the boies havig been previously dug for theis reception. The Prince wse furvisbed with shovel which he ured to throw olay around their roots, He per- formes the ceremony gracefully, frst pleating the elm, and then the osk. As soon as the ceremony ‘wes completed the workmen cheered the Primos vociferouely, who then, in company with the Comm ssioner®, proceeded to inspect the Park. They ‘went roand the circle, across the terrme bridge, up the road to the carriage way on the east side of the Ramble, Here the party alighted, the Prince leaning opon the arm of Mr Green, preceded by two of the beepers, while the suite were in charge of the Commissioners. After walk- ing through this favorite resort—which hereafter will be looked upon with still greater favor by the visiters to this heslth producing and truly beautiful pleasure ground—the company passed along the shore of tho lake by the irom bridge, scross the rustic arch to the ovk bridge jast completed. Crossing this beau tiful bridge, the party re-entered (be carriages and left the Park throvgh the Seventy. fret sireet gate, proces iing without delay to the residence of Mayor Wood, on tho Bloumingdale read. As our reporter was leaving the Centra! Park two bean- tifus young ladies inquired of the keeper if the ‘‘terrible little Prince was expected,” and when informed that be bad gone, they appeared to be very much disappointed. GRAND DEJEUNE AT THE RESIDENCE OF THE MAYOR. A BRILLIANT AND FXCITING SPECTACLE ON THE BLOOM- INGDALE ROAD, ETO. ‘The Prince apd suite arrived at the rural cottege of the Hon. Fernando Wood about « quarter to one, and were received by bis Honor the Mayor, who tendered the Prince ap \nvivation to partake of bis howpitalities, It ts Deediess to state that exteurive arrangements were made to receive the royal guest in a manner beiiting the chief magistrate of the commercial metropolis of the New World.

Buch a brilliant assemblage of leading citizens of New ‘York has rarely, \f ever, before convened at a private resi. dence as that which met the Priace yesterday at the cot- tage of the Mayor. As soon as the Prince vacated hia carriage be was ushered {nto the drawing room, whera be was cordially received by the Mayor, who introdaced him to bis daughter, and subsequently to the invited guests, all of whom had arrived before the Prince. The eifavility and agreeable demeanor of the youthfal proe- pective sovereign were such that the ladica were capt.- vated with him.
