• The most enthusiastic reports of the progress of the
Prince of Wales reach us from British North America. Everywhere he is met and welcomed with a spit of manly loyalty, which shows how strong is the bond of faction between England and her self-governed Colonies. The fervour of loyalty is stimulated by the courteous and hearty manners of the Prince, and admiration hardly keeps within the bounds of common sense. The Colonies will long cherish the memory of the visit of Albert Prince of Wales. Already, too, in the United States, a fever of excited anticipation is rising, and no end of preparations are in progress • in New York to entertain and lionize the descendant of George
the Third. No doubt much of this feeling is due to the estima- tion in which the Americans hold CM gUnen ; but something is due to sympathy with the young Prince, and sornething also to respect and affection fOr old England, the mother of the giant empire of the West.
