His ‘Royal Highness entered by the private dor on Fourteenth Street, and the people who to have heard that Ihe was coming that way gave him some very hearty and q@ptbusiastic cheers. He arrived at about a quarter past tem o’clock , and was acoompanied by several distinguished gontlemén of bis own suite, and of the city of New York. | ‘The arrival was attended with no display whatever, and | M8 oould scarcely be said whether the royal guest or apy | @tber bad come up. THE ENTHUSIASM OF THE PEOPLE ™ the vicinity of the Academy of Music was intense At no public ball in this city was there ever congregated 0 immense a crowd. From the well known site of Wash- Mogton’s statue, near Union square, to the doors of the Academy there was an entbusiastic crowd assembled from @even o'clock until the Prince and his suite arrived. Such ‘8 concourse of carriages has never on any occasion been geen im New Yi It must gratify the noble Queen of England’ know that this was a! G@irect tribute of love and respect for herself, and of honor and afiection for her first born son. The pas. gage of the carriages from the square tothe main doors of the Academy occupied more than three hours, the drivers @eabing on as furiously as circumstances would permit. | ‘oe arrangements most excellent. Carriages ar- | riving from rand Union square were driven up Fourteenth street, into Irving place, depositing their Beautiful contents at the front door of the Academy, and ten passing rapidly on along Irving place. The vosh of these vehicles exceeded anything of the | Bind everseen. They came in constant and: regular suo ecasion, like the waves of the sea. Curricles, carriages, ebaises, one horse pony conveyances, omnibuses and every conceivable sort of machinery were brought into requisition. The scene outside of the Academy, ani for a long way up Irving place, Third avenue, Broadway and Fourteenth strect, was remarkably brilliant. The ladies were dressed in hues as varied as the rainbow, and the beauty that they presented as they hopped into the bellroom was a sight that would have gratified the génses of tho dullest philosopher in the world. For more than three hours the carriages came rolling up, whilst * fhe gaily dressed fairics tripped pleasantly up to the principal door. Such a rush as there was for priority of entrance bas never been seen since the Academy of Music beg been erected. The crowd collected about the place ‘was very quiet. Not the slightest disturbance occurred to mar the effect of the proceedings, and it must be stated that the police force, under the direction of Superinten- dent Kennedy himself, did their duty as ably end as faithfully as they could be discharged. The men en duty last night around the Academy were an honor ‘and a credit to themselves, as weil as an ornament to their highly respectable and responsible body. There ‘were no stupid fellows rushing about without knowing ‘their duty, and every man, from Captain Cameron to the officer of the lowest rank, comported himself like a well bred man—a characteristic which shoald belong to every police officer of this city. The duty of the police, we know, ‘a bard, onerous and frequently thankless, but when Intelligent and educated men are employed to discharge | them, the people need not fear but that they will be pro- | perly treated. ‘Order jg heaven’s first law,” and it must be obeyed under every circumstance; but it is to be boped that in enforcing the rules of the department, the poljge. will bear in micd that there arc members of the press, commonly called Reporters, who haye aduty to per- | form es important as their own, the results of which, to the | people of the farthest limits of the republic whom they rep- resent, as necessary ag the daily bread which they eoneume. ‘The cars of the Third and Fourth avenues, as well as | Promenade and the musio diverted the attention of the ‘the numerous stag: s which run from the ferries up Broad- way, reaped a golden harvest last night. As for a private carriage, it was pext to tm porsible to find such # curiosity im the vicinity of the Academy. It seemed as if overy carriage in the city of Now York was pre ecnt at the exhibition last might. More than & thousand passed through Fourteenth street and Irving place in ess than three hours. Bat the police arrangements wore perfect in this respect, as they were in every other, The only contre temps that eccurred to our knowledge, was the forcible ejection from & quiet place, of the reporter of a Spanish journal, of this elty. An officer took bold of bim by the collar and dashed him into the middle of the street, like @ pleco of old Dread, for the reagon that the gentleman, not understiinding Engtieh, could not make any explanation. | It most, however, be said, in justice, that the | officer knew rothing of the representative character of the gentleman, and when informed of it he behaved like Qfally instructed man who knew how to perform his @uty. He certainly was nothing like the wild fellow who ‘went dashing about through the Fifth avenue on Thurs Gay bast ENTRANCE OF THE PRINCE. | A shout outside, followed by repeated cheers, an- | mounced the arrival of the Prince, and almost instantly | theroyal party, dressed in fuil evening costume, entered w@he room by a side door. There was no cheering, buts Simnitancous motion of the crowd evinced the anxiety | of the company to see their distinguished guesta, There | ‘was no rush forward. A fow ladies stopped gracefully ‘epon the chairs near them to overlook the throng, but | the rest of the company, retained their positions with ‘well bred comporure, the spectators in the upper tiers | Pising, not from curiosity, but im honor of the Prince. The royal party remainet landing be- fore the sofas at the extremity of the stags, be- Beath the pavilion, and as soon as they had taken their positione, the bands, led by No'l and Grafulia, truck up the stately anthem, “ God Bave the Queen,” following it by the moretriomphant strains of “ Hail Colambia.”” There was no formal reveption of the Prince, the committee, to Whom the matter was referred, deeming that this would be out of place and constrained. Tho fol- | lowing are the names of the gentiemen ofthe Comiuitive en Receptions, to whom not only the royal party, but all the guests are creatly indebted — Hamilton Fish. Chas.

As the crowd retired, fright- ened, to various parts of the floor, it gave way beneath them, This was three times 10 persons being Precipitated to the stage beneath, but not being injured. The floor rather rank than fell, the props beneath it being insufficient to surtain the weight of the throag. The gon- ‘emen of the committee generally, of the sub committee Of the house and decorations particularily, must divide the Diame of this contretemps with tho carpenters, who sbould bave understood and completed their work much better. e For some moments the greatest confusion ensued; many determined to Jeave, and a rush was made for the door, but the real nature of the accident being discover. ed, the company resumed its composure. The Prince was immediately conducted into the supper room, whither s great number of the ladies and gentlemen followed him. ‘The remainder either promenaded, took seats tn the par- quette, or gatbered around the pit, about twenty feet square, which showed the extent of the damage, The company, who wore kept off the dancing floor ag much as possible; the police instantly surrounded the opening with arope, which they guarded £0 that no one should pars; Ullmann and Palmer observed and directed; as many carpenters as could be crowded into the hole im mediately eet to work to put ap new supports, and the celebrated Brown, of Grace church, took off his coat, and with a disregard of appearances unusual, but highly honorable, mace himself generally useful. As far as wo could ascertain, those who left in the first fright and con- fusion, elther returned or stopped at the door, and gra- dually recovering their good humor, the company seemed to remember the proverb, wittily quoted by one of the falrcet ladies present, “t& bad beginning has a good ending,” and that Shakspercan adage retorted by a rival wit and beauty, “Alls well that ends well,” And #0 parsed the time during which the repairs were pro- grersing, in conversation, promenading and fiirtations, and patiently awaited the time when dancing should be- gin. Only the patience and good humor of the company Prevented this accident causing thie grand bail, so anx- Sously expected, and 20 splendidly prepared, from beirg a complete fiarco. THE FLORAL DISPLAY. AN AVALANCHE OF FLOWERS—BOUQUETS FOR THE PRINCE—TBEIR LANGUAGE, FRAGRANCE AND BEAUTY—NEW YORK GIVES A POBT’S WELCOME, ‘The unprecedented floral display which Now York has ‘Witnessed for the last two or three days, in connection with the visit of bie Royal Highness, has beeu such as to warrant a particular and spectal chronicle. The pathway of the Prince, since his arrival in New York, bas been literally strewn with flowers, and those of the most beautiful and costly which could be procured at this season. The private apartments at the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel occupied by his Royal Highness and suite, in addition to the elegant manner in which they are fur- niahed, are redolent of fresh flowers and radiant with their beauty, On the centre table in the private parlor stands @ very handsome pyramidal bouquet, composed of Roses of various shades of color, Tuberoses, Helio- tropes, Jasmins and some few other kinds. Opposite the door of the parior is a large stand covering the regieter, completely covered with rare and costly plants. We noticed Marantes, Caladiums, Carnations, Crotons, and the large leafed and variegated Begonias, of which thero were at leas’ six varieties. In gonersl, each flower had several family relations; thus, for lastance, there were at least three varietios of Caladiums, and two or three of Crotons. Intertpersed among them were some fine spsal- mens of the Justicia Caracasana Major, in bloom; the Dieffenbachia Picta, the Cyrthanthera Magnifica and others, The stand upon which the fowers are placed is handsomely bordered with deep fringe, over which trails the Dioscorea Dis- color. The ensemble of this little floral display is very hand- cme. The corridors are orpamented at regular intervals with Camelias and Orange trees, bearing fruit; and the admirable manner in which everything is arranged is very creditabio to Mr. Bridgman, whose duty It is to sup ply flowers to the royal apartments. The floral display at the Academy was truly magnid- cent, Countless lower pots with their odorous freighg, in endless variety, filled up a great part of the space known as the dress circle. We cannot possibly enumerate all the plants and flowers we saw. There was a cosmopol!- Van gathering of the brightest and most beautiful from all quarters of the globe. There was no corner of the earth—unlers tt be the frozen regions of the north —that bad not ite representative in the closters that shone from the eighty or one hundred large, handsome vases which ornamented the proscenium, independently of tho myriad of fower pots of a more homely kind. Our own rontinent had its representatives in the floral conclave; but the far greater number were tho rich exotics of « more southern clime, There were the beautiful Delphi- num Formosum, the Gladiolus and the Salvia Splendens, side by side with the Bignopia from the antipodes and the Astra Fortun! from the Himalayas; while, overtop- ping all, with ite odd looking red and yellow ower, nod- ded the sugar loaf head of the fritoma Wvaria from the far and duwky regione of Southern Africa. Every step, eve- ry glance, brought some new and strange variety to the eye. Bignonias were \n great and pleasing variety, min- ged with epecimens of the Antirrhincm Majas, or Spapdragon, with its sucutlike, fragrant bios som; the Grapadilla or Passion Flower of the West In. dice, starry and violet rayed, and the sweet Alyssum Maritimum of Old Eogland. The number and variety of Dablias were positively ‘immense. Their native soil of Mexico never grew such Dahlias as those which lent their magnificent size and every charm of rich and gaudy color to the scene, from the deep crimeon, beside which the beautiful Er !tnrina, or Coral Tres, was pale, to the faintest neat could ever possibly mauage to get up, Tuboroecs were also in great abundance—all alike in their exquisite fragrance and spotiess white, The vast building was dilod } with the odor of this moticy multitude of flowers, which a quantity, beauty acd variety has nover becn equalled in this city. The costof such a display canunot be leas than three thousand dollars. © Another feature to be noticed is what we might botan!- cally term Claes Bouquet, and beginning at the proper | place, we noticed three splendid bouquets on the centre table of the Prince's dressing room at the Academy, each ope of which bad a large Camelia in the centre, surrouad- ed by rows of Violets, Tuberosas, White Rosebuds, and a | number of other flowers, arranged with great taste, and | fied with @ broad eatin ribbon, having the Prince of | Wales’ crest embroidered in Theeo were made ap at the cetablisbment of Mr, Fitzpatrick, who also fur- | nished a oumber of elegantly filled vases, \ The rest of the floral farniture of the Prince's apart- mente at the Academy was supplied by Mr. Andrew Reid. Everything that could bo ornamented had its ap- pendage of brilliant Sowers, from the floral structure in the parlor, on which stood a magnificent centre piece, com- | #*tion. posed of the choloest exotics, to the very washstands in — the dreesing rooms, which were festooned la the most — elegant manner with flowers of every bue. | But nothing could surpass the bouquets which our New York florista got up for the ladies who were to attend the bail, Nearly all we aw wore pro- pared by Mr. Buchanan, of Eleventh street, and were the most exqumite we have ever seen, The majority were butof fow colors; all, or nearly all, with a large Camelia in the centre, which is a rare fower at thie feasen; then a few Tuberoses, fringed by some tcariet flower, or the feathery, violet Popatoriam, then, | porbaye, & circle of white Rose Buds, and the whol» bound | in a frame of evergreens, Gnishing with a deep fringe of white slik, Some had the Prince's crest and others the | letters A. E worked in flowers. There wae nothing gaady | or showy about them, all were etminple, though, of course, Giffering in design one trom the other; and it was thie simplicity of arrangtment that mado the exquisite clegance of there bouquet so apparent, Iwas next to tmposatie | tw arrive at an accurate cetimate of the number furnished | to private pertoor, to busy were the foriste with thelr | orders all aay yesterday; but we may safely may that it was vory large. ceived could pot be filled, and many were the disappoint- ed. Mr. Bochenan, beeldes supply ing an enormous quan- tity of Sowers for the greater part of the Acatomy, sup- plied about a hundred bouqeets, and Mr. Reid one bua- dred and fifty, The rest of our Sorists may be fairly sup- ported to bave dope a good buriness and furnished their quota, The bouquets cost from five dollars up to ten— none Jere than five, and none more than ten, not even thore for the Prince's tabie, We state this for the expo cial benefit of such at are never satisGed with anything ‘entil they know exactly what it conte. But we are not yet done with flowers, Wherever we follow bis Royal Highnces we must expect to be tripped up by a garland or stumble against a monstrous vase.
