THE ROYAL PARTY AT WEST POINT, Weer Port, Oct. 16, 1860. ‘TMRe particolar account of the Prince’s reception and fay et Weet Point, published in to-day’s Hratp, extends wp to the hour of eight o'clock Iast evening, and leaves She royal party enjoying a splendid dinggr at Cozzen’s ‘Hotel, Some of the accounte, published in New York pa- pers, profess to describe events which oscurred later; | ut the mails and the telegraph are not to be trifled with, fed often revenge themeelyes most thoroughly upoo ‘hose who attempt to outstrip them by imagina- | Yon, Spite of the brilliant rhetoric with which these ambitious correspondents embellish the affair, the ‘aadete gave no ball,and the Prince did not cance with | any ‘“eloguntly drested lady.”” A ball the cadets were determined to bave, aud at drat everything went smoothly. Colonel Delafield gave bis ensent, the band was ready to play, all hande agreed to Siear out the mess room, and the ladics were as willing | as Barkis ever was, and a great dea! more anxious. Sa Smsfed with these facts, each poet-reporter mounted nis Pegaseus, soared into the clouds, became convinced that | ‘Ubero was a ball, described it, and was bappy, ‘ne | Bxnaip corps left Pogagsus alone, stuck close to | Cexvens’ omnibus and made further inquiries, | Meir patience was rewarded. The ball fell | Ubrough, though in a manner rather dijierent | from that at the Academy. The fault wag not with the | cadets, the ladies or the room, but—where it was least | expected—with the royal party. ‘The cadets invited the Prince to a bop, and be wouldn't some, The ladies said that it was the fault of the Dake | ef Newcastle, The officers’ wives eaid shat the Prince | “gbould come out like ® man. 1 was too bad to keep the cadets shivering—actually shivering—in the cold 0 Jong, and then refuse to give them a little innocent re- | creation.”” The men grumbled, and did something ‘worre. Water was universally voted to bave ‘‘a taste of | sinners,” and something stronger was in great fa- vor. The persons who invited the Prince were | ought after. “Why did be refuse’? asked | the ladies. “Because the luke said be was too fatigued Seewered the commitice. A dead silence followed, and a NEW YORK H report of ap excur lon to Albany upoa the steamer Daniel Mr, Drew arranged the excursion, provided a superb breakfast, invited » number of ladies and gentle- men, and tendered the boat to the royal party free of charge. The Duke of Newoastle replied that the party Could pot use (be boa! unless they could charter it exclu- tively for themselves, and so the invitations had to be withdrawn, much to the dissatisfaction of the invited. | The royal party rose late this morning, breakfasting at | nine o'clock, the Drew being ordered to be ready for de- parture at eleven, several hours later than was anticl- | pated. By the time she started West Point had almost recovered ite ‘‘ontof the season” appearance. Almost 4)| of the country people left the night before, and the city folks scattered, by boats and trains, north aod south, many of the New York party preceding the Prince to Albany to witness his reception there. RECEPTION OF THE PRINCE AT ALBANY. Atnayy, Oct, 16—11:60 P. M. The Prince passed the morning at West Point riding bout, looking at the various localities and visiting But- termilk Falls. Then the royal party rode to the old wharf, about @ quarter of a mile above the regular landing, where they emarked on board the Daniel Drew for Al- Dany. Considerable of a crowd was collected at the wharf. Flags were displayed, and the Cadota’ Band played ‘Home, Sweet Home.” All along the route up the river demonstrations wese made in honor of the Prince. At every wharf crowds collected and cheered, and flags and handkerchiefs wero | Waved and canpen fired as tho boat passed swiftly by, The Prince employed his time much as ususl—reading and smokipg—seeming but little interested in the scenery, except jnet about West Point, where the view is truly | magnificent. Genera! Brace and others of the party were more observant, and declared that K surpassed the Rhine | by far, and that they bad never seen such @ wonderful | display of nature’e riches. About twenty miles below Albany the Prince's boat met the Young America, with the Mayor and Counci!men of Albany on board, and the flotilla of Young Men’s Boat Club, tweive bouts, accompanied by excursion steamers. The scene was, therefore, most gay and animated, and the more 80 when the city, its veasels and stores decked wilh ‘lag, te docks and streets crowded with people, came into sight at batf-past four o’clock. The Prince comes to Albany by invitation of Governor Morgan, so there was no municipal reception at the dock. The party landed hastily, and climbed {nto carriages. The crowd rushed forward in a dense mass, some women leading, all anxious to see and touch the Prince. The carriages started for- ward, but the crowd stopped them, and thea the mUlitary, | Consisting of the Twenty fifth and Seventy sixth rogi- ments (regiments are about as large as companies bere), formed around snd the party once more started. The crowd were only kept back by bayonets. There were no cheers, but plenty of shouts. The cortege proceeded up Broadway to State etrost, and #0 to the Capitol. The streets were fairly jammed with people, the ladiee Jargely in the majority. Only one decoration was noticed along the route. That was, “Wel- come, Lord Renfrew,” painted in black letters on white, and surrounded with little flags, bung out upon Geological Hall. The crowd behaved pretty well till the cortege neared the Capitol gates. Then there was a great rush to the centre of the street, and for a few moments the Prince’s | carriage was surrounded by a dense mass of persons and could not proceed, Several took the opportunity to touch and ehake hands with bis Highness. The ladics appeared the most numerous and the most forward in this rush, Arrived at the Capitol the Prince was conducted to the Governor’s room, where he was ‘nformaily received by Governor Morgan. Lord Lyons briefly replied. Senator Seward and teveral distinguished Albanians were pre- sent. Arm in arm with the Governor the Prince was then es- corted to the Assembly and Senate chambers. He stood in the Clerk's lesk and surveyed the rooms, which were | not nearly filled, for no one expected him there, the pro- gramme being left entirely to chance. As the crowd came general giving up of the affair, with deep sighing by the | rushing into the chamber an energetic policeman caught mar | Lord Lyons by the collar and nearly strangled him, much 14 must be noticed that some of * the best society” | to the amusement of the party.

They then proceeded to the State Hall, where he looked through the banking and other departments, and then to the Secretary's room and library, where be examined feveral busts, General Worth’s sword, Andre's papers and other curiosities. ‘The party then reached Congress Hall Hotel, and pro- ceeded immediately to the rooms engaged for them, | which are very handsomely furnished. After remaining about an hour and a half, they pro- ceeded to Governor Morgan's residence to dine. A emall crowd followed them, and remained standing before the house entrance, which was guarded by policemen. ‘The heads of the State departments, Governor Morgan’s city staf, the Mayor of the city, with their ladies, were invited to this dinner, which broke up at a quarter after ten. Governor Seward was the principal dis- tinguished guest. The Prince leaves Albany at a quarter to nine o'clock A.

Such a crowd of people was never seen in tie quict and Pictureeque precincts of West Point before, ner dida brighter day ever lend lustre to old October snd make the forest gorgeous with the rainbow glories of decay. lt was cold but invigorating, and there was an elasticity !n the atmosphere highly conducive to enjoyment, #0 the Spirits of the twenty thousand ran high end ail went merry. ‘There was an eccort of dragoons in honer of his Royal Highness, which, when he bad entered the house of the Commandant of the post, to which they rode direct, drew up in single line, facing the gateway. Here a presentation of the officers of the staff and others took place by the Major, the Princo shaking hands after the American fashion with each. The twenty thousand meanwhile loitered about in front, where the review ground afforded them plenty of room for moving about, if their curiosity did not impel them to struggle for a front place among the multitude. After this, which lasted nearly an hour, came the re- view, the cadets, nearly three hundred in number, hav- ‘ing taken up position in a double line in the centre of the plateau, with the engineere and pieces of artillery a hundred yards in the background, and the dragoons, an insignificant furce, attending to police duties about the field. Some of these later were mounted, and others afoot, but they were for ‘the moet part equally impudent in enforcing order. They laughed and jested with the crowd, and curvetted their horses about in the immediate vicinity of the spectators’ toes, for the pleasure of seeing the multitude sway back- ward, ‘The plateau, surrounded by a cordon of swelling bills, with here and there a tower, a spire and a dome, looked splendid in the sunlight, although @ bleak wind swept acroes the expanse, and made every one long for an ovor- coat ifthey hadn’t one, and button up closely if they bad. The number of troope on the ground was little more than three hundred and fifty ,and the review of these commenced by the Prince walking side by side witb Major Delafeld down the front line and up the second. The suite and staff officers followed. This over, the royal party re- ‘turned to the front rank of the fleld, and took op a stand- ing position, The word of command was then given, and the band of cadets struck up glow time, when the march, in which the sappers, with their artillery, took part, was taken up once round. The next round was to quick time, and the third round to double quick time. This was tedious, bot well executed in a military point of view. The party then re-entered the house and partook of luncheon, Some disappointment was expressed that his Royal Highness did not appear in uniform on the occasion. THE PRINCE OF WALES IN BOSTON.

I stepped into the Boston theatre this morn. ing apd found the workmen busily engaged with the decorations, Everything is in confusion as yet, but from the chaos something of the order of what is to be is al- ready discernible. The theatre will be richly and artisti- cally dressed, but nothing strikingly novel or original pertains to the plan of the decorators. The upper tier is hung with scarlet cloth, relieved with pointed blue ban- ners, froma which depend large golden balls. The second tier is draped with orange colored cloth, bordered with blue and ornamented with silver etars. In the festoons on this tier are the British and American fiags tastefully disposed. The lower balcony is to be covered with crimeon velvet and cold. In the centre of the balcony ter, directly im front of the stage, is a box for the royal visiter, The canopy is of biue velvet, ornamented with silver and surmounted by an American eagle. The walls of the theatre are receiving a lighter ‘and more cheerful color than the origimal sombre red. ‘The parquet is floored over level with the stage, in the ‘most substantial manner. The floor is constructed in equares, each of which is capable of sustaining ninety tons; therefore ‘‘on with the dance-—let joy be uncon. fined;’’ the flooring will sustain itself under all the heavy, fantastic toes of the weighticet dowagers in Boston. The stage is being fitted up as a royal marquee, or Pavilion. The side walls are to resemble those of an ele- gant parlor, with mirrors in the panels and vases of flowers on pedestals between them. Over the centre isa square frescoed ceiling, twenty eight feet high, from which curtains will fall with a graceful sweep and join the side walle of the pavilion. At the rear will be seen garden terrace and « fountain throwing up a jet of “real water,” nearly concealed by rare and bea@siful Sowers and shrobs. The back ground will be a splendid view of Windsor Castic and park, now under the hands of the artist. The stage, thus arranged, can hardly fail to presents fine coup d’v-il wo ‘the dancers in front. A wide entrance from the lobby to the parquet hes been cut—an improvement much needed in the theatre.

The misrepresentations by republican scribbiers of the reception given to the I’rince at Richmond are treated by the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Lyons as the mere slough of polluted partisanship. The Prince aod his suite regretted timt they could not go farther South. Lord Napier visited, during his mission, some of the no- bie plantations on James river, where there is a strong resemblance to,the best style of the baronial life of Old England, and specially recommended to the royal party ‘Rot to pass them over. If her Majesty could have anti- cipated that the Prince would have met with a tithe of the honors and friendliness that have attended bis tour im the United States, a much longer time would have been prescribed, and a visit to New Or. Jeans and other principal cities of the South, as well as to the plantations of the great landholders, would have been included in the programme. Some persons, unaccustomed to the etiquette of courts, do not understand why the diplomatic corps near this go- vernment were not more demonstrative towards the Prince of Wales. They would gladly have entertained bim and his suite, but, besides the fact that the Prince was travelling as private gentleman, they did not ththik it good taste to interfere with the ovation of the Ameri- can people. Notwithstanding this reticence, the Prince was by no means igaored by the young ladies of the fo reign legations, to one of the loveliest of whom he re marked alily, “They made me dance with the old chaps in Capeda.” THE BALL AT THE ACADEMY. Among the officers of the United States navy present ‘at the grand ball on Friday evening were Commodore Breese, Capt. Ward, Capt. Pennock, Bleecker, Lieut. Aling, Lieut, Bankhead and Lieut. Perry.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCE'S TOUR. ‘The progrees of the Prince of Wales throughout the British Provinces and the United States is one of those great historical events which will be handed down to pos- terity for all time, and be treasured up by the peoples of | the United States and of Great Britain ag long as the governments of both nations shal! endure, In view of the importance of this great event, it may not be amiss to recapitulate the facta in the royal progress, which stand out in bold relief from the smaller facts connected therewith, The firet inception of the Prince’s vielt, it may be re- membered, wae from the Canadians themselves, who pe- litioned the Queen to gend ove of the royal family, as she herself would not be able to attend, to inangurate the opening of the Victoria Bridge at Montreal, It certainly ‘was never contemplated that the heir spparent would be selected for that purpore—popular expectation being satisfied with gome smaller personage—the Duke of Cam- bridge or Prince Alfred, for instance, It pleased the Queen, however, to send the young Prince of Wales himself to visit the Weetern pos- teszions of bie imperial mother, and at the fame time to instruct him to pay a visit to the United States, Never bas monarch arrived at so wise # deter- mioation; for the lessons to be derived from the visit of the young Albert Edward in this country of democracy can hardly feil to impress the future King Edward the Seventh in sucha mapner as to lead to the full |recogni- tion of the rights of the people, throughout his illimitable dominion, where, according to popular tradition, the san Beverjsets. =. It will be remembered that, in accordance with this arrangement, President Buchanan wrote an autograph letter to the Queen, inviting the young Prince to visit Washington and the United States in general, in his pas- sage through the most interesting portions of this conti- nent. The letter of the President and the reply of the Queen to ber “good friend” were published simaltane- ously in the Hrrar of the 12th of July. In this affairgithe Queen did herself honor tn honoring the United States, by announcing that in passing the frontiers which divide the British Provinces from,§ tbe States, his Royal Highness would drop all royal state, and assume the lowest title to which he could lay claim—the rather uncouth one of Baron Renfrew, derived from a small Scottish town, situated in Acounty of the'same name, with the addition of “ shiro’’ Qt the end, making up the rather uneuphonious name of “Renfrewshire.” Many and rich were the jokes of the London papers on the assumption by the Prince of this rather out-of-the-way title, and Mr. Punch] distinguished himself by suggesting Sir Edward Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Mr. Guelph (pronounced Welf)and a whole lot of other nomenclature. But the Queen and the Prince and all their advisers were deaf to all these suggestions, and as Baron Renfrew it was ar- ranged that the Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, and & whole boet of et ceteras too numerous to mention, was to{be distinguished in the United States as simply Baron Renfrew. It seems, however, that the Americdh people would not receive him im this charac- ter; for what would he be more than simply Mr. Guelph—a thing ‘tolerable and not to be endured.” And Mr. Guelph was not a bit better than Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones, or the other reapectable gentlemen whose names occur in the same category. ‘Well, all these arrangements were made, and in pursu- ance ef them the Prince arrived at St Johns, Newfound- land, on the 24th, where, it will be remembered, the colo- nists in that “new found land’’—the ultimathule of the universe—were mightily indigpant at the shortness of the tay of the royal guest. They wanted him to remain fora ‘week or two, and they would not receive him for twenty- four bours—that they wouldn’t. But they did receive him; and what is more, they did him all the honor that could be done to a prince, and he a Prince of Wales and of England. On the 30th of July the Prince arrived m Halifax, and, Houses of Ottawa, the little city fixed upon by the Queen herself (in council of course) as the future capital of the Canadas, though the Canadians themselves, who chose the Queen as the umpire in the matter, seem disposed to repudiate the arrangement. ‘The series of practical insuite between Kingston and Toronto, which the Prince experienced some time between the 4th of August and the 12th of the same month, at the bande of the (range faction, are too well known to States. On the 17th be had his grand view of Niagara Falls. On the 2ist we find bim at Detroit, Michigan, and on the 224 at'Chicago, where Long John Wentworth, the Mayor of the Prairie City, received the Prince.

MR. LINCOLN’S FORTHCOMING PROCLAMATION. (From the Charleston Mercury, Oct, 13 | Our phic deepateh from Washington, in terday’s paper, stated that Governor Seward ‘had the important fact our yee- tet out el . Lincoln be by ‘alternate beat- Y subdue his spirit, and be ‘ol- jows his master. So these tee tection cnaria- tans #u) Wat, after years of rectional ization i the North, on the ground of hostility to African slavery hifol and necessary overthrow v} the general goveroment, and they succced in guiuiny, 100 mastery of the goveroment to carry out their policy, they have only to put forth » few iby pooritical oot tying phrases, and South will sabmit—a little green grat to the elephant in the pit. Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Se sard is nobody in this great contest, They are only the froth on. | the top of the wave; the wave itself begins its heave from. | the depths of the ocean. They have, by their aema- | goguical and fanatical to the people ef ino North, divided the Union into two great antagonistic sections. They bave taught the people of the North that it ie their duty and their bigh and holy mis. sion, to extinguish African slavery in theSouth. That they ebould endeavor, when reaching the powers of the general overpment, to keep the people of the South parsive un- ir rule, i8 perfectly natural, That they may even to get their cohorts to pause, in view of tie se- parat of the indignant South from the North, is also very natural. They know that the day the Union is dis- solved, is the day of their doom. But, if the South euo- mite to their rule, they cacnot arrest the onward courea ofevents. {f they pause, they will be trampled down, re the ipatorsof this anti-slavery ion in the North have been. Where, now, are the da, the Hunts, the Cushines, the Winthrops, the Van Burecs, tha Everetts of the North? And go} it will be with Messrs. Lincoln and Seward, if they attempt to arrest the tive of sectional favaticism and ambition, short of tts great consummation—the abolition of African slavery in tho South. If Mr. Lincoln was to come ont and decisre that he held sacred every right of the South, with respect to African slavery, no one should believe him, and, if bo was believed, his professions should have aot the least in- fluence on the course of the South. The Northern people, by electing him, bave manifested their determination to set up a sectional and fanatical dominion over the Soutn,. totally inconsistent with the whole scope of the couati- tution, and the eafety and self government of the South. They have estabiisned a despotism ; and it mateerp not who wields it, mildly or stersly—it wuld be thrown off.
