ett ee THE PRINCE OF WALES. His Royal Highness’ Money Income and Ex- penditures—The Queen Has Not Paid His Debts—A Saving Fund BRuaning to Exhaustion. Lonpon, Oct. 1, 1874. The Times of this morning in a leading article contradicts the statement recently current that the Queen has paid the debts of the Prince of Wales. “At the present time,” says the writer, “the debts of the Prince amount to a litte more ‘than one-third of his annual income, and inciude acarcely any bills due longer than a year. The Prince’s balances at his bankers’ to-day will more than suflice to meet every claim.” LIVING ABOVE HIS INCOME, It is true that the Prince is unable ‘o live within his income, but the excess is provided trom a fuod which is his private property. This fund, which accumulated during the Prince’s minority from the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, is still sufficient to meet the yearly deficit in his ex- penses, though the time may come when this re- Source Will be exhausted, OCEAN TELEGRAPHY. “Vossels of the Direct American Cable Expedi- tion in an Irish Port.

Bostom, Oct, 1, 1874 The great literary event of the season bi Dr. Heury W. Longieliow’s poem of “The Has rT of the Crane,” which was read here this evening by Mr. Sidney Woolet, of London. There was a large and intelligent audience assembled, a Previous to the reading of the poem Kev. Mr. Then Mr, Woolet was introduced and went on with Mr. Longiellow’s poem, as follows :— The Hanging of the C ([Pendre la cremaitiere, to hang the crane, is the French expression for a souse-warming, or the first party given in 4 new house.) L The lights are out, and gone are all the gnests That thronging came with merriment and jeste 10 celebrate the hanging o! the crane In the new house—into the nignt are gone; But still the fire upon the nearth urns on, And Lalone remain, O fortunate, O happy cork When a new household finds its place Among tie myriad homes o/ eartn, Like @ new star just sprung to birth And rolled Gn its harmonious way Into the boundiess reaims of spacet So said the guests in speecn and song, As ip the chimney, burning bright, We hung the iron crane to-night, And merry was the feast and long, 1 And now I sit and muse on what may be, And in my vision see, or seem to see, Through floating vapors interiused with lig! Shapes indeterminate, that gleam and tade, As shadows passing inio deeper shade Sink and elude the sight, For two alone, there tn the hall, Is spread the table round and small; Upon the polished silver shine The evening lamps, but more divine The light of love shines over all; Of love that says not mine and thine But ours, for ours is thine and mine. They want no guests to come between Their tender glances like a s nD, And tell them tales of tand and sea, And whatsoever may betide The great forgo'ten world outside; They want no guests; they needs must be Each other’s own best company, m, The picture fades; as at a village fair A showman’s Views dissolve into the afr, To reappear transfigured on tne screen, So in my fancy this; and now once more In part transfigured, through the open door Appears the seli-same scene. Seated I see the two again, But not alone; they entertain A little angel unaware, With tace as round as is the moon; A royal guest with faxen hair, Who, throned upon his lofty chair, Drums on the tabie with his spoon, Then drops it careless on the floor, To grasp at things unseen before, Are these celestial manners? These The ways that win, the arts that please? Ah, yes; consider weil the guest, And whatsoe’er he does seems best; He ruleth by the right divine Ot helplessness, #0 lately born In purple chambers of the morn, As sovereign over thee and thine, He speaketh not, and yet there lies A conversation in his eyes; The golden silence o/ the Greek, The gravest wisdom of the ae Not spoken in language, but in looks More legible than printea books, As ifhe could but would not speak. And now, O monarch absolute, ‘Thy power is put to proos; for lot Restiess, lathomless and slow, ‘The nurse comes rustling like the sea, And pushes back tly chair and thee, And so good night to King Uanute, Iv. As one who walking in the forest sees A lovely landscape through the parted trees, Then sees it not for boughs that intervene, Or a8 we see the moon sometimes revealed Through drifting clouds, and tuen again concealed, So I beheld the scene. There are two guests at table now; The king, deposed, and older grown, No longer occupies the throne,— The crown is on his sister’s brow; A princess from toe Fairy Tales, The very pattern girl of girls, All covered and embowered in curis, Rose tinted frem the Isie of Flowers, And sailing with so/t silken sails From jar oif Dreamland into ours, Above their bowls with rims of blue Four azure eyes of deeper "ue Are looking, dreamy with delight; Limpid as planets that emerge Above the ocean’s rounded verge, Soit shining through the summer night, Steadiast they gaze, yet nothing see Beyond the horizon of their bowis; Nor care they tor the world that rolls ‘Witu all its freight of troubled souls Into the days that are to be. v. Again the tossing boughs shut out the scene, Again the driting vapors intervene, And the moon’s pallid disk 18 hidden quite; And now I see the table wider grown, As round a pebble into water thrown Dilates a ring of lignt. Isee the table wider grown, I see it garlanded with guests, As U fair Ariadne’s crown Out of the sky had fallen down; Matdens within whose tender bréasts A thousand restless hopes and fears, Forth reaching to the coming years, Flutter awhile, then quiet lie, Like timid birds that lain would fly, But do not dare to leave their nests; And youths, who in their strength elate Challenge the van and front of fate, Eager as champions to be In the divine knight-errantry Of youth, that travels sea and land Seeking adventures, or pursues Through cities and through solitudes Frequen:ed by the gs Muse, The phantom with the beckoning hand, That still allures and still eludes, O sweet illusions o! the brain! O sudden thrills of fire and frost! The world is bright while ye remain, And dark and dead when Ye are lost! vi. The meadow brook, that seemeth to stand still, Quickens its current as it nears the mul; And so the stream o! Time, that lingereth In level places, and so dull appears, Runs with a switter current as it nears ‘The gloomy mills of Deatn, And now, like the magican’s scroll, That in the owner’s Keeping shrinks With every wish he speaks or thinks, ‘Till the last wish consumes the whole, The table dwindles, and again I see the two alone remain.

Y., Oct. 1, 1874, In the Phelps case to-day the session of the Court was occupied im hearing the argument on the law point raised as to whether the drait was an instrument of value, it not having been in- dorsed by the State Treasurer. Lyman Tremain, of counsel for the defence, addressed the Court at some length. He claimed that, inasmuch as the County Treasurer of Niagara county had not re- mitted for taxes in either of the modes preacribea by jaw, from the appropriation of the drait in question {t feli not on the State, but on the county of Niagara. Mr. Tremain then addressed bimself to the proposition that, under the inaict- ment, there was no sufficient allegation to con. vict the Sg of larceny.
