Ws have witnessed many Royal Christenings in our tune, and we have read of many more, and among them all there can scarcely be one wb'ch has concentrated so much interest in itae" as the baptism of this day. Considering the quietnesa of the course of public affairs in loyal England, and the remarkable tranquillity of our State while so many others are disturbed or alarmed, it is in a manner strange that our youngest Prince should be brought to the font under circumstances of such singular impressiveness as we recognise to-day ;1 but there is probably no thoughtful witness of the rite, in actual presence or by sympathy, I who will not say to bimself that if this child lives to be a man and • king, future generations will inquire of history about his entrance on life, and especially his entrance upon the moral and responsible life of humanity through the rite of this memorable day. We are in the midst of suspense about events which those future genera tions will understand and appreciate. We know only that this heir to the British throne iv born into a very summer sunshine and atmosphere of national sympathy and love, for the sake of his mother, and his mother's house, over and above the welcome he must L 3 secure of from the loyalty of the country to its own royal &wily. Another generation will have seen the termination of the suspense in which we are, and the issue of the complications which seem to introduce perplexing thoughts among even the happy e•iticipetious of such a celebration as this. It is a little more than two-and-twenty years since the Prince of WALES was baptized, under circumstances strongly contrasting with those of his child's christening. We could not speak then of the settled tranquillity of the counti.., and the loving loyalty of the whole people. There was distress which alarmed the most hopeful, and dis content which appalled the rulers of the land. On the German side of the royal house all was quiet enough. Coburg Princes or their proxies were present, and the late King of PRUSSIA was the chief sponsor. It was on accaunt of English troubles that some hearts were very heavy while the child was dedicated to his high and anxious destiny. There was bitter dis tress in the manufacturing districts, and tur bulence and menace among the Chartists, and nobody knew how much beyond them, while the King of PRUSSIA was supposed to be wholly at ease and quiet at home, and to have an open mind for our schemes of benevolent reform, from Niger model farms to prison discipline and the handling of our ci;:y Arabs. How are times changed already ! The perplexity and pain come from Germany to-day, and the relations between the KING and people of Prussia are the most distasteful part of the German embarrassment. At home there is again distress in Lancashire ; but there is no fear of the people on that account, but, on the contrary, a trust, arising from respect and ad miration, such as was never felt for them before. We have no regrets or alarms to bear about social danger or disturbance. Our apprehensions take a different and new direction, as far as they have a reasonable existence at all. This day twelvemonth how happy we were to see the family of the Princess of W.tx..; among us, and to feel ourselves bound to them by the union of the young PRINCE and Pomeno. Since that they have become the royal family of Denmark, amidst the good wishes of all Englishmen as well as all true Danes; and to-day neither father, mother, brother, nor sister of the PRINCE is present at the font. But the warmth of the popular affection supplies the ab sence of the family homage to this first-born grand child of the Danish house, and all England presses forward, eager to fill up, if it could, to the young mother the empty places of her own kith and kin. If she mimes to-day the countenance of parents and sisters she may be assured that we all feel with and for her, and that her child has all the more love from this country for the very cause which at once keeps his kindred away and proves the patriotism and valour of the people from whom, on one side of the house, he has sprung. Many of us will doubtless make our loyal celebration of this day in the form of offerings to the wounded Danes. Many of us regard the unconscious infant with double tenderness for being born into such a lot at such a crisis—at a time in which the founda tions of States, even the bravest and most inoffen• sive, are shaken, and the most direct heirs of the safest thrones seem to be warned that there is no stable greatness on earth but such as great men can win for themselves. His father ought to be well able to instruct him in the conditions of constitutional royalty. His mother has lived in the practice of the most substantial duties which can ripen the judgment, and chasten the proud imaginations and desires which are the temptations of high birth. They will remember the mingling of the clouds with the sunshine on this day which gives their child his individuality among men by his name, and introduces him to his prerogative, greater than royalty itself, of &spiritual and moral existence among fellow-Christians and fellow-men. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1864. They will strive to render him "equal be " either fortune "—that of an honoured and prosperous reign, like the one under wbioh he was born, or that of thoublons times, in which the collisions of social principles, and the passions of contentious men and parties render the lives of Princes more trying than men in humbler stations can easily understand. How ever it may be with this young Prince—to-day so Mum while the red of us are full of forecast and solicitude for him and his—he cannot but be the better for the universal and tender goodwill which waits upon him at the font. If he should succeed to the easiest crown of the happiest empire on earth, he will still be the better for having had a nation's anxious prayer and earnest blessing on his christening day. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. CHRISTENING OF THE INFANT GRANDSON OF THE QUEEN. (THIS DAY.) Throughout the morning the West End has been crowded with carriages conveying the distinguished company invited to witness the ceremony of the Royal christening.

It was to be hoped that for the future so leas than 100 or 150 boys would receive instruction. The foundations of the new building, he wee glad to say, had been completed out of the earplug of the year's receipts. The estimates for the building, however ' were very large— not less than 16,0008—sod great efforts wan to bring the institution to that perfection which all mem of the craft desired. The subscriptions received daring the evening sinonnted to about 4,5001.

The following article appears in the Paris Pays : ♦ccording to 'deices, which reach as simultaaeousla from Copenhagen and London, the difficulties of the siege of Duppel have inspired the courts of Vienna NA Berlin with the Orange idea of insinuating to the courts of France, Bards, and Englaad, that if they would advise Denmark to evacuate Eilaswig, the Austro-Promian army would not enter Jutland. Now if the invading army, after its first end facile snowless in the duchies, had halted of its own aocord—if it had given up the parfait of the Dines, and allowed them peaceably to take no a position farther off from the frontier, we could have understood this pro posal es a proof of a spirit of moderation. In that case the military question would have remained undecided, and France, Russia, and England, might perhaps, with a view to conciliation, have recommended Denmark to evacuate Bleswig. But this was not so. The Austin Prue. elan army pursued the Deals with fury, and now the latter, having by their courage and skill effected their retreat, have fortified themeless in Cum's', and raked an almost insurmountable obstacle to the conquering march of their enemies. That this unexpected obstacle should irritate the Austro-Prussians we can conceive. Bat we do not well understand bow two great military powers, attacking a single state of a secondary order, can postal,- think of asking Fraooe, Russia, and Ragland to procure for them the voluntary abandonment of Duppel, simply because they do not find themselves able to take it. The three cabinets would have very bad grace to interfere ander such circum stances for ouch a purpose. The Pays correspondence from Hamburg says that there are two main reasons for the delay in the attack of Duppel ; Ist, the great strength of the place, which is almost impregnable ; and, 2nd, the dissensions between the Austrian commander, Count de Gablents, and Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia. The troops of the two invading armies are, the welter avers, as much disposed to wrangle as their chiefs, and get on very badly together. THE STATE OF ROME. The National Roman Committee, moved by the numerous crimes recently committed with impu nity, has addressed a letter to the general com manding the French army of occupation, imploring him to protect the lives and property of the citizens, a measure which would be equivalent to assnmiog the direction of the police. The following are the most important passages of the letter : Rome, Fob. 23. Emelleoce,—For some time past the city of Rome ham become a real den of assessing ; nocturnal attacks, robberies in houses and churches. are counted by dozens. Two booest citizens were robbed of a large sum of money and murdered in one of the moat frequented tho roughfares on the 20th iost, at half•put 7 in the evening. Such is the lest event which fills our whole pope lotion with alarm and horror, and demonstrates, with too painful eloquence, the dreadful state of insecurity in which we live The most wretched and most de plorable orsul , tion of a nation is that to which the Romans Sr. now reduced, in being compeUed to implore protection for their persons and property from the foreigner who de prime them of their liberties. But the evil is tremendous, and necessity ham no law. The National Committee, constituting itself the interpreter of the sentiment, of the Romans, is therefore obliged to apply to you, General, and to beg you, in the name of humanity and honour, to take measures for the public security. Rome has become the asylum of the Bourbonists, of deserters from the Italian conscription, and of the dregs of the whole world, who Hoek within its walls tinder the pretext of defending the head of the church. In presence of the atrocious crimes recently committed, the public voice accuses only these detestable ref ugees.—Arcept, he., _ Tat Homes NATIONAL CONNITTIZ. A letter from Rome, in the Perseverance of Milan, relates the following audacious attack : Since the murder of the two clerks of M. Baldini, the motley changer, another robber y has been committed under singular circumitancee. A priest, when returning home in the °reales, was stopped by a band of thieves, who began to rifle his pockets. While so occupied, the rascals, perceiving • French patrol approaching, compelled the priest to intone • portion of the Litany, which he did, they kneeling round him meanwhile, and devoutly responding " Ora pro Dolga!" The soldiers, taking them for • group of devotees, many of whom thus pray in public. passed on ; and the moment they were out of sight the thieves completed their operation, and left the priest without a single bajooco.
