The Prince of Wales goes on his way with ever
brigfitening prospects, though not without some mishaps. Wherever he ap- pears, crowds of course flock to see him, and wherever he is going, expectancy is on tiptoe. The Hero has been twice aground, but that has only afforded a little additional excite- ment. In England, Albert Prince of Wales has never been re- garded as a very active and lively young gentleman, but aboard ship and in the colonies he has, if we may trust the enraptured reporters, shown himself in a new character, and made himself as much admired for "dash and love of fun" as he is beloved for his courtesy and good humour. The unseemly row in the Town Council of Montreal, where some French Canadians showed bad feelings as well as bad taste, only throws into holder relief the genuine loyalty of the mass of the colonists.
