The birth of another Prince of the House of Bruns- 

 wick will, doubtless, excite a feeling of universal sym- 

 pathy throughout the empire. It strengthens the stability 

 of the Crown by providing another pledge for its conti- 

 nuance in the direct succession, and awakens the more 

 homely sympathies of all classes of the people in the 

 domestic character of their Sovereign. The auspicious 

 event is both personally and politically a subject of con- 

 gratulation, and we trust that the new-born Prince may 

 contribute to the happiness of Her Majesty's private life 

 and fulfil the expectations of her subjects, by worthily 

 occupying the high station which he may hereafter be 

 called upon to fill.— The proceedings of Parliament 

 during the week, though mostly of a routine character, 

 have presented several topics of interest. In the Lords 

 on Monday, Lord Minto's motion on the state of the 

 Navy wa« met by a declaration from Ministers that the 

 country possesses overwhelming means of available 

 defence in the event of a war, and that our dock- 

 yards are busily occupied in the building of addi- 

 tional vessels and in adding to the strength of our 

 steam marine. In connection with this subject the 

 Duke of Wellington adverted to the affair of Tahiti, but 

 only to state that the " eccentricities " of the French 

 authorities were acts for which they would be required to 

 render an account. A great outrage, he said, had been 

 committed, for which he had no doubt that satisfaction 

 would be given, and he considered that this course was 

 more desirable than that the British force at Tahiti 

 should have brought on a collision at the time by 

 attempting to prevent what had occurred. On Tuesday, 

 on the motion for going into committee on the Poor- 

 law Amendment Bill, the Bishop of Exeter moved an 

 amendment that it be committed that day six months. 

 The Duke of Wellington said that the object of the Bishop 

 was to repeal the existing law which had been devised to 

 correct the enormous mischiefs of the old system, and on 

 a division the amendment was rejected by 17 to 1. On 

 Thursday Lord Normanby brought the Tahiti question 

 again before the House, and elicited an announcement from 

 Lord Aberdeen that it made little difference whether or 

 not Mr. Pritchard was recognised as British Consul at 

 the time of his arrest, for as a British subject Government 

 were bound to protect him. He thought, however, that 

 a just, conciliatory, and moderate tone would prevent any 

 disastrous results— I n the Commons on Monday the 



r fW rep6aI the obsolete P enal acts against the Roman 

 Uthokca was read a third time and passed, after a decla- 

 ration from Sir R. p ee l that in repealing such laws the 



egislature was not so much conferring a favour 

 on the Catholics as relieving its own statute-book 



ram a disgrace. So far, he said, from being bul- 



mi h l? f the Church ' these laws were outworks which 

 i/th USed b J reason and ridicule against her; and 



sent e ^ WWe Sny law enforcin S an y penalties on Dis-

 t^g G aIaier ston raised a debate on the foreign policy of 

 u resi 0Vern ment. He u designated their system as one of 

 l 8ance at home, and of unlimited concession 



In France the questions of Tahiti and Morocco exclu- 

 sively engage the attention of all classes. Accounts 

 from the French residents at Tahiti have been received 

 in Paris, which tend rather to strengthen the case of 

 Mr. Pritchard, than to lessen the effect of the previous 

 advices, and they announce the additional fact that the 

 removal of that gentleman was the precursor of a gene- 

 ral revolt of the natives against the French authorities. 

 A collision had taken place, in which the French were 

 manifestly the losers, and their position had become so 

 perilous that their expulsion from the islands was not 

 improbable. The French Chambers were closed on 

 Monday by royal ordinance, but before they separated, 

 the leading Members of both Chambers adverted with 

 considerable warmth to the affairs of Tahiti, and to the 

 demand of England for reparation. M. Guizot, how- 

 ever, declined to enter on a discussion, but assured the 

 Chambers that throughout the negotiations he would 

 defend the rights of the navy and uphold the honour of 

 its officers. — The accounts from Morocco are so con- 

 fused, that even the French naval and military com- 

 manders appear for some days to have been unable to 

 understand its present position. The Emperor is evi- 

 dently wavering and undecided ; but the last accounts 

 from Marshal Bugeaud state that he is willing to give 

 satisfaction. The Prince de Joinville had removed the 

 French consul from Tangiers and given a further delay 

 of eight days, in ignorance of these advices from the 

 Marshal, who appears to have previously suggested an 

 immediate demonstration on the coast. It remains, 

 therefore, to be seen whether the Emperor is sincere in 

 his professions, and in the meantime it is not likely that 

 any extreme measures will be adopted.

Her Majesty's Accouchement.— On Tuesday 

 morning the Queen was safely delivered of a Prince, and 

 we rejoice to add that both her Majesty and the infant 

 Prince are doing perfectly well. Her Majesty was taken 

 ill about 5 a.m., at which time the medical attendants 

 were summoned. A special messenger was also des- 

 patched to the residence of Mr. Brown, surgeon to the 

 Household at Windsor, to be in attendance at the Castle 

 with Sir James Clark and Doctors Locock and Ferguson. 

 On the previous evening, at 9 o'clock, a special mes- 

 senger from the Lord Chancellor reached Windsor Castle 

 with the commission which it was necessary for her 

 Majesty to sign, in order that the Royal assent migtt be 

 given on Tuesday to the various Bills which were only 

 waiting that stage to become law. At 5 o'clock, her 

 Majesty being sensible of her approaching accouchement, 

 sent for the commission, and affixed the sign manual to 

 the seven sheets of parchment of which it was com- 

 posed with all the boldness and firmness which usually 

 characterise her Majesty's handwriting. At 10 minutes 

 to 8 the young Prince was born. Shortly after 6 a mes- 

 senger was despatched from the Castle, to the superin- 

 tendent at the Slough station, with instructions to com- 

 municate, by means of the electro-magnetic telegraph, 

 to the person in attendance at the telegraph office at 

 Paddington, that the letters, which had been waiting 

 there for several days past, addressed to the Cabinet 

 Ministers and the great Officers of State, were to be 

 delivered at the residences of the respective parties 

 without a moment's delay. The messenger reached the 

 Slough station within 8 minutes of his departure from 

 the Castle, then 10 minutes past 6 o clock and within 3 

 minutes of the instructions reaching the Slough station, 

 the telegraph was not only at work, but the communica- 

 tion was despatched to Paddington, and an acknowledg- 

 ment of its receipt returned to Slough, and this was all 

 effected within 11 minutes of the special messenger s 

 departure from the Castle. The first special train which 

 reached Slough from Paddington arrived at the station 

 at 23 minutes past 8 o'clock, having performed the 

 181 miles in exactly 18 minutes, being at the rate 

 of more than 60 miles an hour. In this train were 

 the Duke of Buccleuch, Earl of Deiawarr, Earl of 

 Jersey, Lord Lvndhurst, and Sir James Graham. 

 The second special train from Paddington, which brought 

 down Sir R. Peel and Lord Stanley, reached Slough at 

 40 minutes past 8. The whole of the Ministers pro- 

 ceeded to the Castle at full speed, in the Royal carriages 

 and four, which were in waiting at Slough. The Duke of 

 Wellington arrived in a third special tram, shortly after- 

 wards, alone, performing the distance from Paddington 

 to Slough in 17 minutes and a half. The Duke imme- 

 diately proceeded to the Castle in a carriage and four, 

 and reached there in 11 minutes after his arrival at the 

 station, and within less than half an hour from the period 

 of his leaving Paddington ! The Earl of Liverpool and 

 Lord Wharncliffe left town by the regular 9 o clock train. 

 The whole of the Cabinet Ministers and great officers ot 

 State, after remaining at the Castle upwards of an hour, 

 and partaking of a dejetner, left again for the Slough sta- 

 tion shortly before 10 o'clock. Their journey, from fclou^l 

 to the Paddington terminus, was performed by a special 

 train, in 15 minutes and 10 seconds ; being at the rate or 

 upwards of seventy miles an hour. The Bishop of Lon- 

 don reached Slough by the day mail train, "^* ™ 

 Paddington at a quarter past 10, but upon ahghting ;ffrom 

 the train at Slough, his lordship met the Ministers at the 



tation, by whom he was informed that the auspicious 

 even? had taken place some three hours previously and 

 dirt Her Majesty and the Royal injant were doing well. J 



The Bishop then returned to the metropolis without 

 proceeding to Windsor, in company with the Minister!. 

 The birth of the Prince was subsequently communicated 

 to the public in the usual official form, by means of a 

 Gazette Extraordinary, dated Windsor Castle, August 6, 

 and stating that " this morning, at 10 minutes before 8, 

 the Queen was happily delivered of a Prince. HU 

 Royal Highness Prince Albert, several Lords of Her 

 Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council, and the Ladies of 

 Her Majesty's Bedchamber being present." It is clear, 

 however, from the above account of the arrival of the 

 Great Officers of State, that no Privy Councillor had 

 arrived at Windsor when the Queen was brought to bed. 

 Even the Duchess of Kent did not reach the Castle until 

 after the birth of the Prince. The bulletin announcing the 

 event to the inhabitants of Windsor was sent to the 

 mayor, and posted at the Town-hall within half .an hour 

 after it had taken place. The bells of St. George and 

 the parish church were instantly manned, and merry- 

 peals were rung for upwards of an hour. At ten o'clock 

 a Royal salute was fired from the Corporation ordnance, 

 in the Bachelor's Acre. A Royal salute was also fired 

 from the Belvidere Battery, near Virginia Water ; and 

 in the evening the town was illuminated. Long before 

 noon the intelligence of the Queen's accouchement waa 

 known all over the metropolis, and the usual demonstra- 

 tions of loyalty were evinced in the several parishes in 

 honour of the occasion, flags in abundance floating from, 

 the church-steeples, and their bells sending forth their 

 peals during the day. The shipping in the river were 

 dressed in their colours, and salutes were fired from all 

 the public establishments on the river, and at Chatham 

 and Sheerness. In the afternoon the Privy Council 

 assembled at Whitehall, and it was ordered that a form 

 of thanksgiving be prepared by the Archbishop of Can- 

 terbury, to be used in all churches and chapels on Sun- 

 day, the 11th August. The following is the bulletin 

 issued yesterday by Her Majesty's physicians :— " The 

 Queen has had another good night. Her Majesty and 

 the infant Prince are doing well." 



The King of Saxony.— His Majesty reached Inver- 

 ness on Saturday on his return southward from Staffs 

 and Iona, and took up his quarters at the Caledonian 

 Hotel. At an early hour on Sunday morning hia 

 Majesty proceeded to Craig Phadric, to see the famous 

 vitrified fort by which the hill is crowned. After his 

 Majesty had attended mass at the Roman Catholic Chapel, 

 he proceeded to visit Culloden-moor, the memorable spot 

 1 where the Highland army, under Prince Charles Stuart, 

 met with its final defeat. Thence the King went to 

 Kilravoch Castle, and Cawdor Castle, the old feudal 

 fortress of the Campbells of Cawdor. His Majesty left 

 on Monday for Dunkeld, travelling by Kincraig, Bridge 

 of Spey, Blair Atholl, and Dowally Kirle, to Dunkeld, 

 The King was highly gratified with this part of the excur- 

 sun, more especially with the wild scenery from Inver- 

 ness to Blair Atholl. His Majesty remained the night 

 at Dunkeld, having journeyed nearly 100 miles that day. 

 On Tuesday morning the King inspected the beautiful 

 grounds of Dunkeld Abbey, the seat of Lord Glenlyoa, 

 and the romantic scenery of that district. About middaj 

 the King left Dunkeld for Taymouth Castle, to visit the 

 Marquess and Marchioness of Breadalbane. The route 

 to Kenmore afforded his Majesty considerable pleasure— 

 •« the birks of Aberfeldy " being seen to advantage at this 

 season of the year, and the beautiful falls of Moness were 

 of course visited on the way. His Majesty was 'received 

 with genuine Highland hospitality at Taymouth Castle. 

 On Wednesday morning the King left Taymouth for 

 Perth, and afterwards visited Stirling, Falkirk, and the 

 palace at Linlithgow. On Thursday his Majesty arrived 

 at Dalmahoy Castle on a visit to the Earl and Countess 

 of Morton, and after an excursion to Hopetown House 

 returned to Dalmahoy to dine On Friday, the King 

 visited Edinburgh, and inspected the Parliament House, 

 Calton Hill, Holyrood Palace, and Arthur s seat and 

 then returned to Dalmahoy. His Majesty «»bf rkedoii 

 board Her Majesty's steamer Lightning on Sunday after- 

 noon, and quitted our shores to return to his own 



dominions, via Hamburgh. Ai^ntmUhed
