Proposed Canadian Visit of the Prince of Wales.

That the Prince of Wales will pay the Canadians a visit, this year or next, appears to be no longer a matter of doubt, as the fullest assurance has been given by the Duke of Newcastle. A Liverpool journal, of a recent date, says: “If the Canadians cannot secure the presence of the Queen at the opening of the great Victoria Bridge, they are likely, it appears, to be honored with the Prince of Wales, accompanied, in all likelihood, by the Colonial Secretary, in the course of the ensuing year. This will be something, and the young Prince and the Minister may rely upon a warm and generous reception. We wish, for the sake of the Canadians, that her Majesty would undertake the journey. She seems to be a good sailor, from the frequency ol her journeys in the royal yacht, and a voyage across the Atlantic would be nothing to one accustomed to the cross-cur-rents of the Channel. Being on the American Continent, she should hardly escape a visit to New York—perhaps to Washington —and the result, would be in everyway gratifying to all concerned,” American Bank Note Company has completed a contract for tho National Bank of Greece, providing that institution with notes of various denominations, engraved in the highest style which the art has yet attained in any country.
