Throughout tlie city yesterday and the day before, speculation was rife as to tbe condition of tlie different fortifications in tbe barbor. Much anxiety was manifested ou tlie part of tbe friends of our citizens in possession of Kort Muullrio and Castle l'inckney, while no lililo curiosity exhibited ilself to learn what was the condition of the occupants of Fort Sumter. On this latter point there were a variety of rumors afloat. Some went so far as to say that the United States troops would be unable to bold out two weeks; that their pro vis ions wcro ot the piost seai,ly character ; and that water was very scarce. If tliis be so, and if it be Hue, as reported, that the larger ono of the cisterns is rendered useless because of I lie salt water that makes way into it, tlio soldiers cannot, by any possibility, hold out longer than ten or fourteen days. All the points from which supplies can be obtained are rendered inaccessible. There is a strong guard of tlio Charleston Riflemen stationed at the Light House on Morris' Island, even if a battery has not been erected there by this time, as was contemplated. Detachments of South Carolina troops are in possession of the post at Fort Johnson, while Sullivan's Island and Mount Pleasant, as well as this city, are rendered inaccessible to them for supplies. The remaining cistern of the fort it is said Kof.....:?i. ao uviuuiiiu n uu aiil|JII(Ulb UitlLT WUIL IU drink of it would be to partake of death and disease. Tlic only remaining way for tbem to procure water or provisions will bo by I oats or vessels, ar.d even ibis modo will bo cut off by the small crafts and and steam boats that are constantly cruising around ou the watch. From tbo workmen, however, who have been employed at the fort, we learn lha there are altogether in Fort ^u inter about forty or fifty mechanics and laborers, together with some seventy soldiers. About twelve casmHite guns are mounted, mostly looking fowards Sullivan's Island, and four or five barbette guns which work on pivots and can bo worked ficing in any direction. Witn their prisent force they can place several guns in position each day, and they have at* abundant supply of sbot and fchell, and provisions and water, to last them for mo|ii||s, the cisterns boing: larjjc and amply supplied with good rain water. The guns of the largest calibre are not yet in posiliotij and the mimber of cannon in illp fort atuoufiU to half its armament. tiik uasIaok at tout Sjoui.tmi:, U'Ql'Cl' !>3 y?t uprepajred, is neither so extensive nor so irremediable as was at first thought. Under command of Major Anderson. tlift work wns in a lrn|y wonderful ipqpncf, though many of it were* unfinished at the time of Pe evacuation, liowever, this is all bo much labor saved the South Carolina trdfcps, and under the energetic superintendence of Col. Quiun, Eiutir.epr-iu-Chief and his efficient corps jp' Aids, chosen principally from the (Washington ^.rtillery, the work commenced is being busily pushed forward to completion. A large force of laborers have beon put to work, and in a very short time everything will bo se^ in order. Contrary to expectation, none of the guns of the foft are uiaterinlly injured. Those that were spiked were rendered useless for the time being only. The insruments used to stop up llie touch holes were Mfpply wrought nails, most of wbjch Lave already beeji taken out.

KOUT. A number of the laborers employed by i the United States Government upon the j j fortifications of our harbor, and principally ! j upon Fori Moultrie, came up to the city on 1 1 Saturday last, after having been discharged ! ! and set adrift, to find t^eir \yay back to ; ! their homes in Baltimore as best they could 1 j Many of them took passage on board the Keystone Stale. A large proportion of them were engaged in August last by Captain Foster, U. S.-A., and one of them an intelligent foreman, j called on us on Saturday and stated that 1 | by contract made with Captain Foster they ! were to remain in the employ of tlio Gen- 1 j eral Government until their woik was nil | ' V'd. This would bring theui up to ; i the iniu-..o of May, when they were to be ! j discharged, and their passage paid to Bali timore. About five weeks since, as ilio foreman ! states, they were approached by Lieutenant j ! Snyder, of tho Army, stationed at Fort | Moultrie, who advised them to provide | , thetnselves with arms, setting forth, as his j ( reasons, that in all probability they would , ' soon be attacked by a mob frcirj the City , I of Charleston, and self protection was nec essarv. The workmen refused to do bo, i ' 1 : replying at the same lime that they were , , i employed by the government to work and i ?<-> firalit LV, _ J At si later date n suggestion sometliing i ; similar to the one mentioned was again j . thrown out by Capt. Foster, who urged ; | i tliem to suffer themselves to be drilled as , I . . . ! j soldiers. lie sahl that if they did this j . j they would bo belter prepared to defend ( themselves in case of an emergency, which : he believed was near at hand. The woik- j men however, could not be pwrsuaded into service, nor induced to swerve ffom their I purpose. They positively refused to do j any other duty than such as they had con ! traded to perform, but at the instance of | | the officers of Fort Moultrie consented to ! . irrt willi tlifl ro>it tti Vnrt Cnnitop j they continued to deulino the honor of a ( j blue uniform and cross belts, and pertina- ; ci-jusly 6tuck to picl> axes and spades.? ! Under these circumstances they were all ; j discharged, except three or foirr, who were ! ; finally induced to enlist. OTHER FO RTJI'CATIONS. In relation to other points of defence in j the harbor, a great dpal has been said on I the street, and since the affair at Fort Sum| ter,' there has evidently been a disposition to grumble because more active steps have ( not bepn talyeq io throwing up breaBtwork8 and batteries op all arpilable points.? fbofce >ylip consider the subject, however, will sqe until the act of evacuating , Moultrje and occqpanpj of Sumter was . ponsuraoted, there was a mutual agreement between South Carolina and the Federal ( Government, which bound us in honor to take no active, waHifce steps.

When King George the Fourth was Prince of Wales he acquired tho appellation of the First Gentleman in Europe. In the grandest acceptation of tho rerin this was clearlv a misnomer. A pross sensual ?-! ist, a perfidious fri^pd, a heartless libertine a had liusband, a prodigal, a man who hud not the slightest regard for the obligations of a promise, the 1'iince had scarcely one moral attribute essential to the composition of n true gentleman. But in the ordinary intercourse of a prince with the titled ladies a: d nobletnvn of his father's court, and tlie foreign ministers and persons of distinction who were accredited thereto, there is littic to betray tho baser qualities of the heart. It is sufficient that his manners bo nnexco|>lion'tble and his tact supreme to acquire for him a spurions renown, and in this respeet tieogre the Fourth was unrivalled. No one bowed with a better grace; no one liould sinile more affably or say the pretty thing in its proper place with greater readiness. IJo hail tho art to make strangers leel themselves :it homo in his presence, and Llicir interpretation of It is affability was the key to llie enviably reputation lie ncriuired. Ws doubt very much if llie utmost display ofsuch supeifliiities would have profited a I'rincc of Wales on his visit to this country. The 'fatigues, surprises and occasional annoyances incident to long journey in a strange country and among a people of distinctive habits, alien to court sycophancy, would have thrown him off his guard, and the infirmities of his disposition would have forced themselves into prominence in defiance of the panoply of manner. Here, more than anywhere else, tho base metal must have becomo apparent. The [ilagreo of comtly depo;t(ncnt could not have survived the friction incidental to a republican contact and the Fjesngrcdmcns of Lravel. Tlio Iriujiipliant manner in wliicli young Albeit Edward lias passed this ordeal Las ieinonstrated not only that his natural qualities arc excellent, but that ho has been subjected to a most excellent system of training. Education, in its ino-:t enlarge;! sense, is a result. Wo dp not loo^ for its illustration in detail ar^y more than we ex poet mat a mnil's physical vigor shall In: estimated by the viands and other articles uf diet on which he l;^s been reared. The intellectual regimen should be apparent in i-bg masculine, yet polished bearing of its ?uiiject. Ju t|iis sense, wo repeat, the young i'lince who lias just ] ft our shores with liim indubitable evidence of a rare and judicious cultivation. It is infinitely to his honor and to the credit of those who have moulded him, that r,ot one singlp instance has been recorded of a breach on his part of the courtesies of life- or of the slightest Jisplay of unbecoming temper to any one. His demeanor throughout has completely realizr-d the fair flower of the state. Cheerful, affable, modest, and quiet, ho has nevertheless exhibited all the niaufy qualities of a cavalier, A superb horseman, ho outstripped his companions in his Canadiap gallops; a good shot, ho bagged more prairio chickeus than the messieurs of his suite; enthusiastic in the bullrom, he was the admiration of all the votaries of Terpsichore who were witnesses of- his boyish but well-regqlatcd delight; pnniqelv in his liberality, he always did the right thing at too proper time, aud left everywhere, where. nuin Die service was required, striking proot^/j of a thoughtful niunificcncp. In no p.nrt j of the civilised world has Queen Victoria1 befcn held in suclr profound respect as in i the United States of ^rpQriun, wherci a re-. ! gard for the virtues which adorn the female character rise9 paramount to all politics,! prejudice. Wo did uot believ<rit possible lhat the British sovereign could have in- ; sreaeed the -admiration will) which she is everywhere regarded in thn New World. I?ut the bearing of her sua has proved ^haf we had not taken the fuj^. ipeasqre of her worth.

If Mr. Vincent wished to enjoy a quiet cigar he iniuit .'

If coal was to be placed iu the grate, either Mr. Vincent was to put, ! it in lump by lump, with his fingers, or' Thomas must come in on tiptoe, leaving f his boots below, lest t!.c noise should disturb "the babv." Mr. \ incent must lie ir. one position til! he was full of aslies fiom ' - i i . .i - ?. r t.:. | me crown ci iiis neau 10 me so;o 01 ma I foot; ho uiijsl not turn over for fear of wai king "the bahv." Ami yet surely ho tnusi not take a bc>I in another part of tho house, / i lecatt.se "the baby" might be attacked with if .11 j the croup, or tnigut cry to have some one walk up and down thelloor with it in their ' arias, and then ho would not be within call. In short, when "the baby" slept, tho whole house was ::tu]-.;r a spell wi oso cnchaut? i ment consisted in a profound silence atul unbroken stillness, by laying all under its itiducnce. On the other hand, when "tho ; baby" was awake, li.c household wan equally subject to tyrranv, which seemed ; to be the condition of its existence. If Mr. Vincent':; watch chain attracted ! its attention tlto watch must coino from [ tlic pocket a:ul be delivered over at the im i minent risk and frequent smashing of erys; tals and face. If ''the baby" cried for the ; poscelaiu vases on the ni.i..tel, or the littio Sevres card basket on the table, they wero ! immediately on I lie floor or on the crib beside it, and soon afterwards in u.any pieces. If it wanted papa's papers, either they must be forthwith given up, or both baby and mother would conctii in raising a domestic storm, if any iu.portant paper or any, thing else was missed, when inquiry was made* for it, the chances wore twenty to oue, ! that it lia?l been given to "the baby j" and oil all siicli occasions, Mr* Vincent's vexation was treated with merited indifference, i if, as cflu:i happened, after obtaining evei rything within its mother's reach, and breaking up everything that coulfl bo brolc'en, "the baby" still cried immoderately | and nnnoyinglv, it was-quite ?s much as Air. > incenismu was wonu to express uio I least vexation or impatience. He might ; might be routed from a sound sleep and i forced to get up (on times in a night for I something f>r "the baby," and yet a mur| mur or natural wish expressed toj^now tho i necessity for all these thitigr. was^j^asoo to the household sovereignty. The lawful I master of* l!ie premise? had sunk liko u deposed monarch, to utter insigni/Jc.mce, ! and became tho lowest seivant of iho | young usurper.
