The Birth of a Prince. 
The President, at the commence- 
ment of the proceedings, said that 
before he called upon H.R.H. the 
Prince of Wales to move the first 
resolution, he wished to submit a pro- 
posal, which he was sure was quite 
unnecessary should be either moved 
or seconded, but which would be 
carried by acclamation. Considering 
the interest which had been taken in 
the Society by the Royal Family, he 
was sure that the meeting would 
agree with him that they could not 
more appropriately commence their 
proceedings that day than by passing 
the following resolution : — 
The Royal Agricultural Society of Eng- 
land, ill General Meeting assembled, desires 
with every feeling of loyal attachment to 
the Royal Family to tender its hearty con- 
gratulations to His Royal Highness the 
Duke of York upon the happy and auspi- 
cious national event which has just taken 
place.
