Two days before an invitation had be n extended by the ‘Prince of Soowmen”’ to tne Prince of Wales and bis illustrious companions to witness the curiosities in the Museum. It was not tii] within an hour of the time chosen for the visit that intelligence wa conveyed to the manager that the invitation had been accepted. A large number of spectators were present in the Museum, although it was noteven suspected by the people that the Prince would be there. Mr. Barnum himself had left the city in the morning on business. Mr. Green wood, when he heard that the Princo was coming, caused the performance in the lecture room to be commenced balf am hour before the usual time, so as to clear the tloors of a portion of he crowd, in order that the Prince might bave s better opportupity to walk round and ex: amine the curiosities, When the Prince arrived there was @great crowd outside the Museum, and hundreds more were soon added to the mumber assembied within the building. The Prince was received by Mr. Green- wood and immediately conducted to the econd story. The first object of interest pointed out was the “What Is It?” im which his Royal Highness manifested a good deal of curiosity. In compli- ance with his wisb, the keeper weat through the regular account of the animal. In the same section of the build- {ng the party were shown the Albino family, concerning whom they made several inquiries. The Siamese twins, the sea lion and the seal were also pointed out; and some of the animals were fed in the presence of the Prince at his own request. He was conducted through the building and had bis attention called to the objects of special inter- est. When he bad gone all over the Maseum, he remarked that be supposed be had seen all the principal curiosities, and then almost in the same breath he seked, where was Mr. Barnom? The reader must decide for bimeelf whether the Prince intended to class Barnum among the ‘‘curtosities,’’ and whether he considered him the greatest he expected to find inthe Museum. Mr. Greenwood, however, explained that the illustrious show- man bad gove to Bridgeport on business. The visit to (be Museum was brief but interesting, and when leaving, the royal party indicated that they had been highly pleased with thetr visit. they proceeded to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where they partook of some refreshments, After lunch the royal party again left the hotel. VISIT TO GENERAL SCOTT'S RESIDENCE IN TWELFTH STREET, NEAR FIFTH AVENUE. The veteran warrior received the Prince and suite in a most cordial manner. His Royal Highness was glad to meet gain the accomplisbed commander, in whom he bas taken the deepest in eres’. The visit was not pro- tracted. 1: wasa pleasant social call, o” « strictly pri- vatecharacter. The members of the household were in- troduced to the Prince and the nobles, and a short time was devoted to social chit-chat and the interchanging of civilities. The veteran bero was exceedingly kind and attentive to the hopeful royal heir o° England, and the young Princo appeared as highly pleased at receiving thete civilites as the illustrious General was aprestraiped in bestowing them. His Hoyal Highness felt very much at ease, and freely joined in pleasing con- vereation Feelings of frievdahip and good will were cx- pressed, manifestations of mutual pleasure at the visit were repeated, and then the distinguished guests took leave of the American commander. VISIT TO BALL, BLACK AND COMPANY'S JEWELRY STORE. The royal party next proceeded to the establishmen| of Ball, Bick & Oo, im Broadway. It bad been wmtimated that the party would spend sn hour, some time during the day, in this magnificent establishment. For @ couple of hours before the royal tourists reached there, a crowd began to collect aroun! the store. The numbers continued to tncrease until nally the street in front of the building was completely packed with people, and vehicles were compelled to tarn off into the wide streets. Soon after five o'clock the Prince arrived, and when be came be was greeted with eathusi- astic cheering. A sufficient police force was in attendance to keep the crowd from pressing in through the doors. When the royal party entere:!!, they were receive! by Mr- Bail, who conducted them through the entire establiah- went. The Prince was first escorted to the second floor, in inger longer, so aa to wistt many otber places of intorest yp the metropolis, bot the. previously porte tet arrange ments for the revarn of the royal party to England have © rendered ‘t \mporsible.

Finally the Prinee returned to the hotel, from the baloony of which ho wit Rented the magnificent torehlight procession of tne fi-r men, @ graphic derorip ion of which we give below Entoring their carriages again, | THE FIREMEN’S PARADE. According to the programme laid out by the Reception Committee for the entertainment of the Prince of Wales, the grand torchiight procession of the dremen took place last evening in bonor of his Royal Ilighuess, and in every particular proved a splendid success, treating oar citizens ‘to one of the finest spectacics ever witnessed in New York, while at the same time affording the distinguished gacst of the nation an opportunity of inspecting, under the most favorable circumstances, one of our peculiar Ameri- can |patitations, as useful and conservative as its repata- tion is universal. We mean, of course, the volunteer, uppaid, and heroic defenders of our lives aad property— the New York Fire Department. The display of last eve- Bing, perfect asi: was in every particular, must have impressed the Prince and his noble suite with a pro- found conviction of the greatness of a nation which can produce so splendid a force of stout, athletic and well behaved men, self devoted to the interests of the pablic, without receiving any remuneration save that which phat hss are the performance of good as- tions All day long preparations on the part of the firemen were observable throughout the cty, and night brought with ita soene of excitement and wliendor which has seldom been seen cven in this progres#ve and restless Portion of the globe. The weather, provitantially, was not Prince of Walesish, that is—it did not pow down in torrents of rain just at the time when « clear my and dry streets were most devoutly to be prayed for.. The day was bright and bracing, and the evening was wil) better, the etars shining out brilliantly, and the sky being as cloudiess as the clearest day of midsummer. The people were naturally, under such favorable circumstances, out in thousands, and the scenes presented in the streets were altogether of a most animated character. 4 full description of the decorations and incidents noticeable along the route of the procession will befound below. Of the procession itself it 1s impossible to give any- thing like an idea of the reality. From the standpoint occupied by our reporter, the spectacle formed by the miles of torches, engines and firemen, passing rapidly in review; the briilian: calcium lights fishing in every direction, and the magnificent display of rockets, Roman candies and biue lights, Uluminating the heavens with all the colors of the rainbow, was in the highest degree grand and imposing. } A feature of last evening's exhibition worthy of remark | was the non-occurreace of any serious accidents or inc!- dents which might have a tendency to spoilj the pleasura- Die effects intended by the Committee of Reception. For ‘@ wonder nobody was hurt, and no fights are to be re- corded. The affair was well managed in every respect, | and reflects the greatest credit on Chief Bogineer Decker | and the firemen. True to Mr. Decker’s promise, the pro- | cession was over and all the engines safely housed before | midnight—a fact which our military friends would do | well to imitate in future, as the patience of New Yorkers ‘would not be equal to such apothor trial as was suffered last Thursday, on the occasion of the Prince’s arrival. The police arrangements were likewise admirable, being under the contro! of Captain Cameron, who performed his | duty faithfully and weil. The steamboat squad, composed of fifty-dve men, were detailed to march {a front of the procession, under the command of Sergeant Gerst, in order | to keep the route clear of obstructions. ‘Tt was announced that the line would form at balf-past six precisely, but it was fally an hour apd a balf later be- fore all the companier were at their posts and the proces- ‘sion commenced to move through ‘he strects set down in the programme. The route, as stated in yesterday's | Huma, was through Fourteenth street to Fourth avenue, | Up Fourth avenue to Twenty third street, through Twen- | ty third atreet to Madison avenue, up Madison avenue to Twenty sixth street, through Twenty sixth street to Fifth avenue, down Fifth avenue (paesing in review before the Prince at the Fifth Avenue Hotel) to Fourteenth street, trough Fourteenth strect to Fourth avenue, down Foarth ‘avenue to the Bowery, through the Bowery to Chatham street, through Chatham street, around the lower end of the Park, and up Broadway to Union square, where the several companies were dismissed.
