A 92-3 til»: i that filtralh, RICIleNbiHILL. SEPT. 14.][860 ....__... Mr. Perry at Victoria Square. In the Economist of the 6th inst. Mr. Reesor states that there were 100 persons. present at Mr. Perry’s meeting at the above place. We will simply deny it, as you cannot possibly cram 50 people in the room, as it is so small. We doubt not there would have been 200 pre- sent, only every one knew that they could not be accomodated ; indeed as it was, more than half who were at the hotel could not~getin, and consequently left. There was only one question asked Mr. Perry, and that was by Mr. Summerfeldt, and he expressed himself, bothyo Mr. Perry and us, as, {ici‘fect‘ly satisfied? with the answer.“"' ‘As to the number who held up their hands. for Mr. Perry, one thing we do know, and that is, that" there-wereonly nine hands held up for Mr. Reesor, ra~ ther of a small forest of hands that, we imagine ;' the remainder were either neutral or in favor of Mr. Perry, as see. currespo‘ndent. - So much for Mr. Reesor’s endeavors to make out that Mr. Perry’s meeting at the Square was a failure. *â€" THERE are some men such noto- rious humbugs that to be called ill- names by them is a sure proof that the person so abused is worthy of esteem. Of this class is Sethâ€"to be villified by him is a disgrace to nobody; therefore we Vvill leave this part of his letter untouched, and come at once to the conversa- tion at Dr. Lloyd’s. We need not here state that Seth’s version of'it is untrue in every particular, for all who know him are aware, that to speak truth is foreign to. his nature- We will only add i on itliis*,.head,- that his version; of the conversation- lis as unblushingly false as are the I‘ tr. r-g r put ‘5' new 1 .v‘ l' .,,..« v-a, ... not. charges he brought against us, as any one. in Aurora can ascertain by applying to Dr; Lloyd and» Mr. Kennedy, who were present at the time. We again denounce Seth as a mean conteinptible slanderenâ€" But further, Seth states “ that some time since we came to Aurora and advised the. J.P.'s. to let Seth alone, astliey were “evidently getting the worst of it.” This, again, is un~ mitigated lying. .We did no such thing, although we think it beneath ’ any respectabie man to touch such an unscrupulous villifier with a pair of tongs. Were it not a public duty to expose snob an unmitigated slauderer, 'we confess we would never have put pen to paper against him, for we have. given him every fair chance of proving his charges against us, but he has invariably refused to Offer evidence ; therefore we feel justified in leaving him for the present to enjoy the reputation of being the most. notorious slan- derer that we have yet seen or hope ever to behold. ' ON \ The Prince’s Visit to Toronto. SINCE our last issue this long ex- pected event has taken place.» We have, in very truth, been visited by the son of our beloved Sovereign, and We can justly boast that we have given him a reception never surpassed even in England itself. We have pmVed ourselves in every way worthy of being counted the brightest gem in Britain’s crown. 50,000 persons greeted his arrival; 4000 children, with as it were one voice, sang at his landing " God Savelthc Queen.” The Prince ar- rived about halfâ€"past 6 o’clock, and landed in an Amphiteatre 850 feet in diameter, inside of which were seats for nearly 8000 adults and 4000 children. The place was beautifully ornamented to make the landing as pleasant as possible; a new wharf 70 by 60 feet was con- structed; a wooden screen was erected, and a beauiiiul chair placed for the Prince to sit'in.â€"â€" The members of the Executive Council, and the Mayor of the city- and others, went down to meet the Prince and suite, and the officers present formed themselves into line to allow His Royal Highness to pass through. First His Excellency the Governor General stepped ashore, and then the Prince, fol- lowed by the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Lyons, Earl St. Gcrmains, Sir Fenwick Williams, Sir Allan Macnab, and Sir Etienne P. Taclie, Aidejdefcarnps to the Queen. Sa- lutations over, they all proceeded to the dias‘ in fran of the screen; the company cheering most enthusias- tically. The bands also played up. They were Poppingers, of the Clif- ton House, Niagara Falls; and the Volunteer Rifle Band of Toronto. Having arrived on the dais the Mayor presented an address on be- half of the Corporation of Toronto, expressive of the honor and joy that was universally felt at the honor done us by the visit, and a suitable reply being givenâ€"the 4000 chil- dren sang the National Anthem in a touching manner; after which a procession was formed in the order, as given in our last issue. Slowly advancing up the inclined plane which led to Front Street, the first thing to meet the attention of "all was the manificent Triumphal Arch, which is 65 feet high and 27 in dia- meter, and is the best arch ever erected in Canada,'and when illu- minated looked, beyond conception, grand-‘ The procession next went under the Fireman's Arch,which is 62 feet high and gorgeously illu- minated ; passing from which they came to the Orange Arch! which has been so much talked of that we are tempted to give a somewhat detailed description ’of it. It was erected on the'c‘orner ofCliurch and King Street. It is supported by eight massive columns, painted in imitation of stone. On the top is a sort of a tower or “ keep,” surmounting which is a campinole, out of which pprings a lofty fiag-staflifrom which ’the royal standard was displayed. With regard to transparencies and decorations, both sides of the arch are alike." In niches in the columns were full-length representations of, the Queen and Prince Consort. On the face of the arch is the motto "Our Glorious Constitution l”â€" Under the cornice are the. words; “ Welcome, Albert Edward, Prince. of Wales.” In the Campinole the Bible is represented, supporting a crown, underneath which is the an- nouncement, “ These we main- tain.” The likeness of King Wil- liam III., as he is supposed to have appeared‘when crossing the Boyne water, occupies a place in the pedi- ment, and is a spirited well execut- ed sketch. Under it is the motto " Freedom l” The side arches are ornamented in a very tasteful man- ner with flags and streamers. The Outer line of the main arch isliberâ€"‘ ally decked w1th British ensigns. The next was the Masonic Arch. This arch was noted for itsgraceful symmetry, and was decorated with the usual-Masonic emblems. The procession- also passedunder an arch, corner of Yongc and King St, 'fo'rtable, still‘tlr’er‘e were no dithumtion of ' and one on the corner of York and “,King Street. The arch at York Street was an Agricultural Arch. Standing on the corner oftwo streetsâ€" King and Yorkâ€"the arch extends diagon- ally across both of them git. is supported at each corner by lour heavy cedar posts, the bark being left on the wood, but neatly trimmed. The supports thus form a sort of square tower at each corner, the outer sides of which are ornamented with her- aldric emblems, surrounded by wreaths of evergreens. Pendant from the angles of the cornices are graceful streamers bearing maple leaves and tastefully draped. From the centre of the arch bangs a huge bou- quet, arranged in a highly artistic style- The tOps of the main arches are covered with sheaves of ripened‘ wheat, the rich color of which gives the arch a 'unique and fine effect. In -the.centre the arch is cap. ped by an immense gilt crown, resting on a heavy velvet cushion-and supported by an elaborate pedestal. Cedar bark has been employed with'(Excellenteffect~ on the arch, a large quantity being cut in various forms and advantageously used. On the east face of the arch is the motto in large lred lettersâ€"v We welcome our Royal Prince. ;” on the “’ / est “ God Save the Queen-Won .tli-e Nortli_-“'Long live the Priiice'gwand on the South,“-Albert Ed- ward.” " 'I‘h‘es'o are surrounded by wreaths of evergreens arid flowers, arranged to correspond with the general design of the arch. Mr. Sanford Fleming is the archi- ‘ test, and Messrs. Carroll Bros., builders of the arch. There were also other atelles Which the procession did not pass,\‘ Aome 9f ‘Vthh were of very haunsome design. On Yonge Street there Were the arches 0f the St. George‘s and Temperance Societies, both elegant StFUCIUFe. At the corner of Church and Queen streets a'very pretty arch was erected by Angus .. Morrison, Esq. A floral arch was erected at the corner of Berkeley and King Streets, by Messrs-- Small, Copeland, Lee and other old resl' dents of that portion of" the city. On Palace street, at the corner of Berker street, a neat little arch was put up by G. L. Allen, Esq., Governor of the Jail. In the owning there was such an illu- mination as was never before witnessed in Canada; the entire city was a blaze 0t variegated lights of every huge, neverwas such a sight probably ever beheld before on the American continent, flt literally beggar description. The Romain build- ings; Triumphal arch in the Amphithe- atre; and above all, the Osgood Hall was illuminated in a manner to excite the ad- miration of every gazer. There was no rain of any consequence. SATURDAY. In consequence of the wet, the most impOrtant part of what should have been done that day was deferred until Tuesday. The principal event was the Levee, which commenced at 11 am. and lasted three hours. Most of the Magistrates and many of the Clergy, and private gentle- men of Toronto and surrounding Counties, were presented. Thereiwas a general il- lumination again III the“ evening: and a brilliant reception was given by the Law Society, at Osgood Hall. i It was a Law. yer’s Ball, and according to accounts, was the most magnificient alfair ever witnessed in Toronto. ' ' The mode of illuminating the interior of the building had been altered,.tlie cen- tre hall being lighted by gas jets, the rays of which pourrp down in mellow tints through the beautiful stained glass of the. roof. The effect thus produced was splen- didâ€"the elaboretly carved stone pillars supporting the galleries and roof presenting a beautiful soft, though massine and stately appearance. The light, gorgeous bites the presented contrasted agreeably with the darker shades of the tessnllated pave- ment. The open doorways on all sides affording glimses of richly furnished and elegant apartments beyond, partially real- ized visions that sometimes present them- selves to the mind after reading some wonderful tale of Eastern romance; and when the spacious passages were filled, as on Saturday evening, with groups of gain attired ladies, beautifully-uniformed oflicers and robed dignitaries, the scene became still more deepiy tinged with that air of Eastern magiiil‘icence,descriptions of which poets delight to indulge in. SUNDAY. On Sabbath His Royal iligbness at- tended divine worship at St. James’ Caâ€" thedral, when a sermon was preached by the Bishop, from'tliese Words “Give the King thy judgments O God, and thy Righteousness unto thetKing’s son.” MONDAY. On Monday morningth Prince started forfCollingWoo‘d, and returned at 6 pm. In the interval there was a grand Scottish Gathering in Toronto, at which several old country games were played. In the evening there ‘\was anothergeneral Illumi‘ nation and a display of Fireworks; the starry scene was magnificent. The tall pillars of light lit up the..,spacious amphi- theatre from one end to the other; while the myriads of Roman (Candles of every color bursting aloud in all directions, pre- sented a scene of extraordinary beauty and richness. The amphitheatre was crowded. Not less then 10,000 persons were seated in it, while a few thousand more displayed theirlproportions in the ground. The torchliglit procession at the conclusion of the fireWor-ks was the most grand and striking in its preparations and characler which Toronto has ever seen.â€"â€" Led by the Toronto City Union Band. the procession marched from the foot of John Street up to King, and from thence eastward to the ,market. Coming down] this street, the appearancevwas most mag- nificent. The line of torches stretching more than halfa mile in length, intersper- sed with great numbers of Roman Can- dles, dispersed the shades which had fallen darkly upon the evening. Occasionally a more than usual glaring burst of ligth came. from these illuminations. multitude who were in the neighborhood of John Street and other favored points had a fine view ofof this procession. The vast . Tumour. , Part oftliis day was wet and uncom- ratlier blue about it. visitors. In spite of hovering clouds and , nelting rain-201,000 people assembled at amphitheatre. Previous to the regatta. the members of Royal Canadian Yacht Club presented an address which Was suit- ably replied to’. The Prince then started the race, which was won by the Rescue. After which the Prince, at. noon and in spite of the rain, proceeded to the Park, which is now called “ the Queen’s Park,” and laid the foundation stone of a statue to the Queen, which was done with great ccrdinony. After which there was a Re- view of the Militia Force. At one p.tn., the visited the University and Grounds and was admitted a member. At2 p.m., he opened the Botanical Gardens and planted a tree; there was also a. show of flowers, fruits, vegetables, &c., at the con- clusion there was a :lunch at which the Prince and about fifty guests sat down.»â€" At half-past 3 pm, the Prince visited the Normal School, and in the evening at. tended a Grand Ball at the Crystal Palace. Owing to the high wind there was no illumination in the evenintr. WEDNESDAY- was the last of the Prince’s stay in Toronto. He left at eleven am, for London. The amphitheatre was crowded by.anxious multitudes who were This day determined to have a “ long last look ” at' His Royal Highness. .r-Crinolinedom was I there in all its beauty, but alas it was aw- fully smashed in the crowd. The Prince, on arriving at the platform, was loudly cheered. The Bishop ofToronto seemed much affected at bidding the Prince fare well. _The Prince stepped on the cars and away sped the train,â€"‘-â€"thusy ended the visit of the most illustrious visitor that Toronto has ever entertained. On the way to London a series of grand recepo [ions was given to the Prince ; at George- town, Guelph. Berlin,Stratf0rd, and St. Mary’s. We also observe. with pleasure, that at. Hamilton there will be no conflict or Eunpleasantness, as no party procession will be formed. '- __.__‘ THE PRINCE’S EXCURSION' T0 CGLLINGWMD, DEMONSTRATIONS AT RICHMOND HILL AND AURORA. _ ON Monday, the 10th inst., his Royal Highness took a trip to C01- lingwood, and sailed on the Geor- gian Bay. He started from Toronto at half-past 8 A.M.; the morning was fine during the greater part of the journey north. He remained outside on an open car, built ex- pressly for the trip. The Prince was accompanied by the Duke of Newcastle, the Governor General, ‘ General VVrlliams, General Bruce, Major Tisdale, Hon. J. C. 'Morri- son, James Beatty, Esq., (SLO. The first place stopped at was Richmond Hill Station, where a large number of people were assembled. The Station Master, Mr. Ingram,erected 3. Floral Arch, the dressing of which was second to none on the line. On the point of the arch was the Prince’s Crest, encircled in, a wreath of evergreens and flowers; beneath this was a large star wrought with flowers, and under» neath the words "Hail! Star of Brunswick,” in large characters. 011 the reverse side were the words ‘° Welcome ” in orange, blue and green letters. The whole Was well dressed with flags and ban- ners, and prescnteda very gay ap- pearance. It is needless to saythat the people assembled, loudly cheer- ed their future King. Trudgcon‘s Masonic Band also discoursed SWeet music. The Prince bowed several times very graciously to the admiring crOwd. Every facility was given at the station for all to get a good sight of'their future King. We think we can safely say that a better view of our Prince was got'from this station than at T0- ronto, for there not one of the en- thusiastic crowd was disappointed, whilst in Toronto great was the rush that but comparative few obtained a glimpse of him whom they had come to honor. AURORA. The next stopping place was Aurora; at which place very extensive preparations were made, both to honor the Prince and to give every one an opportunity of see- ing him. All the stores were closed, and a general holiday observed ;â€"-all the sur- rounding country had been in motion from peep 0’ day ;â€"â€"and every imaginable Vehi- cle was put in requisition by our sturdy yeomen, so that kith and kin might all See the Prince. There were probablynot less than three thousand persons present, cov- ering every spot of ground where the grand sight of a live Prince was to be seen. The station was handsomely span- ned by three beautiful arches. The first arch South; was erected under the ana- pices of the Mechanics Institute, on which was inscribed the word “ Welcome l” The next was a Masonic Arch; which was large and handsome, on this Arch were stationed the band at one end,and at the other the ines and sweethearts of the Masonic’s, it bore the inscription “ Wel- come ! Grandson of a Grand Master,” the Arch was beautifully decorated with flags; and reflects the greatest credit on the Architects. Then came the Orange Arch, which also spanned the track, and to which all eyes were directed, as it was wondered what the Duke of Newcastle would doâ€"would he suffer the Prince to pass under it or not 'lâ€"was a question of some moment. The Prince, we believed, was the first to perceive this Arch ; and directed the Duke’s attention to it, but as there was no back street, or any way of proceeding on the journey without going under it, the Duke had to put the best face on the matter, and under it he went: though some people say that be locked Over tbe‘Ora‘nge Arch was a portrait of the Queen, on the 5.South side; and a portrait of Idling Wil- liam», on the North Side. The inscriptions on it were :â€"“ Our God ! Our Country ! and Our Queen!" Hail! Star of Bruns- wick.” “ Welcome our Prince! and the Number of the Lodge, 693.” The Aurora Band volunteered their services, and play- ed the National Anthem and other music; in a very efficient manner. The assem- bly expressed their devotion to the Royal family by three cheers for “the Queen,” three for “ the Prince," and three for “ Sir Colin Campbell, on the heights of Inker- man” Ste. The train moved off with cheers, “ three times tliree,”.‘for all. During the day the Cricket Club played at Cricket, the band marched through the town. and finally the spirited villagers concluded the days delights with a sumptuous supper, got up in the best of style. We forgot to add that at noon the Mason’s provided lunch, at which several of the clue of the village were invited. The day was one of the pleasantest ever spentin Aurora. , At Newmaiket, Holland Landing, Brad- ford, Leflroy, Barrie, and indeed all» the stations on tbeqline, demonstrations were given in honor of “_|_Ou‘i“wGue’st.” The reception at Barrie and Collingwood, was particularly grand. The Prince took a sail on the GeOrgiani Bay, and then returned to Toronto “ ‘ O . Cris:va ROBBERY.-.~Even thieves are expert, for occasionally we read of wondrous deeds done by these gentry; but seldom have we heard of any job more neatly done than the following. Orr-Saturday last, at about dusk, whilst the fol- lowing gentlemen w'ei-e engaged in friendly converse,rithey Were all robbed of the following sums :â€" Col. Bi‘idgford, $5 25 ; M. Osborne, 8°20; Geo. McDonald, $52 ;. Alfred Jeffrey, $50; W. Duncan, 820; Mr. McMan, $54. .Of course it is not known whether one man or several robbed them.

EDITon,â€"»Over the enitial Z.-â€"in your last issueâ€"is a communication done up in the worst possible taste; throwing the charge of uncharitableness on respect- able individuals, who think different from Z, and dare to express their opinions. The assertion of destitution cannot be sustained, as the father is nowin constant work, and has: been a] all summer, atgood wages, living rent free ; besides the charity of a few kind neighbors. Experience I does sometimes teach bitter lessons. but reprover and reproved, are alike operrto its teachings. Comparing it with the case of Moore, his pardon was never petitioned for ; the conflicting nature oflthe evidence was all that saved him, not the morbid sympathy. so often displayed in similar cases, and which every {sound thinking man must see with regret, and alarm, is every day extending its mawkish influence ; whil- tlie victim or‘ victimised, are forgotten or laughed at in a few daysâ€"the culprit claims mouths of sympathy, and the pray- ers of the multitude for his pardon. How- ever, I think the persons most interested, ought to have been consulted as to their wishes. Yours truly, A Ram“. Richmond Hill, Sept. 10.

This is very flattering testimony of the great and successful efforts made by our. citizens to receive ‘the Prince in a- tacky British fashion. » We understand also that the Duke off Newoastle has written a letter to the Mayor expressing the pleasure of the» Prince of Wales for the very warm maua. her in Which he was received on landing.. The letter, we believe. is of a highly com- plimentary natureâ€"Leader. ROBBERY or A VVATCH.â€"â€"On Tues-- day evening as the Rev. Mr. Dewar, of Thornhill, was awaiting a train at the Union Station to proceed to the grand ball in the Crystal Palnce he was robbed of a valuable silver watch. It was jerked out of his pocket, and the guard cut and the robbers off before Mr. Dewar, could realize his loss and the sublime impudence of the theft. Information of the robbery was given to the police, but no tidings have been ascertained of the missingproâ€" perty .--L¢ader. ANOTHER SHIPWRECK. - DETROIT, Sept. 10.â€"-â€"The Canadian schooner W.

DROMEDARY BlDING.-â€"Th0 rider sits on his dromedary somewhat as a woman does on horseback. A simple halter iii generally sufficient for the‘guidence of the animal, unless he happens to be of an. inn . tractable disposition, in 'which case a .metal ring inserted in the nostrils is used. For urging on the animal they use a cane- with a spike at the end'of it, with which. they prick him behind the ears. Some- times a courbask, ‘or whip ofbippopotatnus hide, is used for this purpose, but it should be applied sparingly. Generally speaking the droniedary accommodates his pace to suit the will of his rider, putting greater energy intophis actiongwhen hard pressed. If over-driven, be either drops, exhuasted, :or lies sulkily down, and tries to ,bite his tormentors. LOSS OF The Steamer “Lady Elgln." NEARLY THREE HUNDRED LIVES LOST. From the Chicago Press.
