Thursday twelvemonths was the wedding day of the
Prince and Princess of Wales, and the first anniversary
was celebrated by the presentation at the Christian
font of their sou and heir. The ceremony was per- ,
formed in the private chapel of Buckingham Palace,
and in u private a manner as it is possible for any act
in which Royalty is concerned to be done. Her Majesty
the Queen, the aged King of the Belgian.% and the
Duke of Glucksburg. as representing the Princess's
father, officiated as sponsors ; the baptismal ceremony
was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
assisted by the Bishop of Lou4on and the Dean of West-
min her. That. wore present only the members of the
Regal f mile, the great officers of state, and the Peers
connected with the Royal household. The Royal
in.an% received at the baptismal font the names
of %Meet Victor. As soon as tit.. ceremony was
finished the Queen was conducted by Visco,int
Sydney, the Lord Chamberlain, to her apart-
mutts. The Royal personages with their atten-
dant., and all others forming the Royal procession,
then retired from the Chapel, and proceeded to the
state apartments. The visitors proceeded to the Green
Drawing-room and Picture Gallery, and afterwards
partook of a collation with the Royal family in the
supper.room. The Earl of St. Crt1111•11e, the Lord
Steward, proposed as • toast. "His Royal Highness the
Prinee Albert Victor of Wales." The toast was drunk
with great enthusiasm. The noble earl next pee
"The health of His Majesty the King of the Belgians,"
which toast was also warmly received. His Majesty
briefly acknowledged the compliment. The neat toast was
"His Majesty the King of Denmark," to which Prince
John of Glucksburg briefly responded. The Earl of Si.
Germans neat proposed " The Queen." The toast was
rapturously applauded, as was that of "The
Prince and Princess of Wale.," which imme-
diately followed. After the collation the guesta
departed, and the oerenionyof the day was at an end.
Her Majesty returned to Windsor in the afternoon.
Some thousands of persons waited in the Park until the
Prince and Princess of Wales returned to Marlborough
House. They were roost enthusiastically cheered on
their mute. In the evening. the tradespeople of
Windsor connected with the Queen and their Royal
Highnesses illuminated their premises in honour of the
event.

large clock in the centre transept, ie a fine piece of
mechanism, one of the largest chiming." Benson's new

the day, and include clocks for the drawing-room, dining
room, bed-room, library, hall, staircase, brac-
ket. carriage, church, turret, railways, warehouse,

every description of clock, from the plainest to the
highest quality of which the art is at present capable.

Mgarr AnitICIATI:D.--It is satisfactory to find that
the famous "Maisons" was appreciated by the Germans
at their Greet Exhibition lately held at Hamburgh.
There, ae here Let year, it gained from all competitors
the only medal for its superiority. "Mamma' is pro-
bably the hest food received from abroad, being the
very life of the Maim. No family should ever be with-
out it, either as • diet for the feeble, or as • luxury ;
and it is as economical as it is healthful. The "Mamma

The "Morning Herald," October 23, 1862, speaking
of the Plate in the Exhibition, says, "Mr. Benson. who
his • medal for plate, eabibita some beautiful things."
Benson's Argentine is a splendid material composed of
various metals, with • heavy deposit of pure Silver,
forming one hard compact body, possessing all the
beauty, richness of colour, and durability of Silver, at
• fraction of its cost When the Argentine and the
real Silver ate placed side by side, the mast
judo cannot distinguish between them, while its dura-
bility is so great that after many years' wear its appear-
ance remains unaltered. During the last seventeen
years it has been so well received by the Public. that its
manufacture has been extended to all those articles
usually made in Silver, rig., Spoon', Forks, Dinner.
Tea, and Coif. e Services, Walters, Bread and Cake
Baskets, Candelabra, Dishes of all kinds. Epergnes, Claret

This is an age of improvement, therefore all changes
should be in that direction. Ilme was when good tee
was readily obtainable—pure wholesome tea—Dr.
Samuel Johnson liked such; and people generally seek
such now. John Chinaman bas not been slow in finding
out that be can pass off his brown waste leaves by
colouriag all qualities alike, tires greatly increasing his
own and the merchant's profits, at the eonsamer's ex.
pease. It is highly requieite that good tea be again
readily obtainable; Horniman and Co., London. there-
fore import it pure, without any mineral powder on its
surface, being the strong, delicious, and invigorating
spring sort.; the green a dell olive—not blueish • and
the black not made hateosely dark; this every English
tea drinker admits is • peat desideratum. Supplied
only in packets, through Hornintsn's own apnts.—See
advertisement in this day's paper.
The " Cleriesmell News," Oct. 27, speaking of
Benson's Watches in the Exhibition, says •In

the whole, the best specimens of engraved watch-
