Read, arta AMID remarks from Mr. Wodelleellet SWOP LAUNCW no former occasion of this description was there assembled a greater multitude than poured into Chatham on Saturday last, to wit ness the launch of a first-rate line-of-battle ship, the Prince Regent, which was laid down in honour .of his present Majesty when Regent, and which has now been completed nearly two years. This mag nificent vessel has long been the adMiration of the visitors to the dock-yard ; and the delay which has taken place in the period of her launch has arisen from a de►ire that her timbers should be completely seasoned beffire she reaches that element on which she may be destined to uct a conspicuous part. — Precisely ut half past twelve o'clock the ceremony of christening took place, Lord Melville officiating on the occasion. A small enclosure was railed off ut the head of the vessel, into which his Lordship, ac companied by Sir Benjamin Hallowell, Sir Robert Seppings, and several of the Commissioners and officers of the yard were admitted. A bottle of' wine was then slung by u cord from the bow, and this bottle in itself possessed no small interest, fur it belonged to the immortal Nelson, and was part of his stock on board the .Viefory when he so gloriously fell in the battle of Tratidgar. Lord Melville having the bottle in his hand, named the vessel the Prince Regent, and immediately dashed i: against the head. 1 hits act was fidlowed by loud and repeated cheers.; and another bottle was immediately opened and dis tributed in wishing success to this gigantic ornament of the British Navy. Precisely at twenty-five mi nutes after One, the last stay was removed, and after a tromentary pause, the huge mass moved ar the platform in the most majestic manner, and in a tim seconds plunged into the stream amidst the accla mations of the stirrounding throng, which were re echoed from all quarters, and in which those on board heartily joined, waving their hats from the deck and from every port which was open. Nothing could exceed the grindeur of the scene. The river remained covered with boats to a late hour in the evening, and no small harvest was picked up by the waterloo) in restoring to terra,* ma those adventu rous persons who had been on board at the time the launch took place, among whom wore an immense number of females. Lord Melville and a large port,' of distinguished characters partook of refieshmeet with Sir Benjamin Hallowell, before they returued to town. The Quarter Sessions for the borough of Stam ford, and those for the city of Lincoln, presented the l i t a e tio u n v , er i a i g l e t o i ! e . gratifying circumstance of no homilies., there being at neither place criminal nor accuser, quarrel nor breach ut the peace. quarter Bank of endingEcirclnntitibenosttehs,ittria. nit!: is I L 1410,9341. 1 Is. ad.
