r.oNDON. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 9.

Or R young Heir-apparent is in the thoughts of
many to-day. Never had young Prince a more auspi-
cious birthday, if the festival is to be judged by the
affection and happy anticipation it calls forth. Our
PRINCE is not, by character and training, likely to
mistake the manifestations of this great day of his
life, nor to boast of the armour of national loyalty
which is investing him as if he had already won Tic-
tortes by means of it, and made himself a noble fame
by the use he had pat it to. He is modest and sen-
sible enough to know very well that it is in pure
trust and lovingness that the people bring him the
tribute of their loyalty and joy on his entering
the region which, in hie case, lies between
youth and manhood. It is a peculiarity in
his case—let us hope it will prove a privilege--
that an interval of three years lies between the
ordinary state of minority and that of manhood.
Under certain circanutasess of calamity to the
nation and its Royal Family, it would bare been
expedient to avoid the evils of a Regency by devise-
log the heir to be of age at eighteen. As it is, he
remains under guardianship till one-and-twenty.
That is, he will not till then take his seat in the
House of Petra, and his acts will be those of a minor.
It is impossible, however, that, under his peculiar
conditions, he can be regarded, or can regard him-
self, as the boy under governance that other youths
of his age are. If be could, under other chews-
stancev, have been man enough to reign in his own
name, he must now be mars enough to show his
quality by his life, his habits, pursuits, and mannerly.
The feeling of the nation is, in fact, that he Comes
of age to-day, the dry facts of the tree
notwithstanding; and the curiosity, interest, and
enthusiasm throughout the country are vivid
accorntogly. There is the strongest desire to know
what be means to do; how he means to use his posi-
tion ; how he regards the life that lies before him.
For the few who speculate from the evidences in
existence, there are multitudes who frame their ex-
pectations on their own notions and prepossessions.
It is pretty clear that the Prince of Wites is
exempt from the cures of most princes—listlessness,
from want of necessary occupation and natural in-
terests. Activity is the rule and habit of the Royal
household, bsppily for the children, who are trained
to work while they work, and play while they play.
We see nothing of indolence and its caprices in any
member of the family ; and thus the dangers of
opening manhood are diminished to the lowest point
to the young Princes. If former Princes of
Wales had had such a training, and such a home
as ours of the present day, their wont sins and
most perplexing troubles might have been escaped.
By being accustomed to be employed and interested,
our Pettftt now his the power to choose among
earione eccupations; and to expand his life with a
the three years next
diversity of interests. fnn!nil,
be will be indicating the direCtott. IG wmen up,
abilities and tastes chiefly tend, and will be talking 1
for himself a substantial existence under circum-
stances which debar him from the ordinary devotion I
to a profession or career. He is to be in some sense
a soldier; he is, in some sense, a student; he must
be more or less devoted to the study of law and go-
vernment, and more or leas actively interested in
politics—the large,deep politics of all human society.
A long period of rigorous life, we trust, lies before
him, which he must till up for himself with duties
and interests. His own welfare and that of mul-
titudes depend on whether he can regard
his occupations before coming to the throne
se no leas imperative than those which •
press on a ruling Sovereign. If he can see
that the preparation for the highest order of duties
is am obligatory as the duties themseLen, his life will
be d, happen what may. Ile cannot pursue I
the maittary profession Ike a young otfirer who has I
actual urine in view; but he con study the profea.
Mon as a man ought who is to be responsible for the
State for which the army exists. He cannot pursue'
the law like a man who may one day be Lord Chan-1
cdlor ; but he may bend his best faculties to appre-
hend its spirit and principles am one who is hereafter
to rule by and under the law. He cannot go through
a complete academical course at one University, and
feel himself a corporate member of it, like the
Oxford and Cambridge men who fill the learned pro-
fessions; but he is alretdy beginning to understand
their mode of life, and their views and interests.
\ lore than that, there is nothing to prevent hie'
having the advantage over all the preceding Princes
of his Virg' in a knowledge and love of literature,
such as rotnes the mind, and enlarges the intellectual
capacity and sympathy of educated men. The habit
of feeling amongst the useducated children of rank
and fortune is easily and widely understood; and eve.
mally that of Sovereigns ignorant of literatare. As
there is no royal road to knowledge, so them is DO
royal entrance to the region of serenity, trust and
enjoyment to which intellectual discipline and ac-
complishment are the kt c. Her.ce the avoidance of
the society of scholars and authors by the vulgar rue
of princes, who cannot bear the acme of inferiority,

and feel, in the presence of accomplished intellects,
that their guests are in possession of a wide world of
great interests which they themselves know nothing
about, and who avoid the uncomfortable sensation by
keeping literature and its votaries at a distance.
Widely different from this may and will be our young
Pump's habit of mind. His father's comprehen-
sion of the nature of science and interest in literature
must have influenced his ideas from infancy ; and he
hes bees well introdosed into scholarship since he
asesed to be a child. The way is open before him—
the opportunity, the leisure, the freedom—to
etresuthen, solace, and delight his mind with litera-
ture, if he ia so disposed. That he may be so is infi-
nitely to be desired, first for his own sake, that he
may find the blessing of comradeship in the realm of
mind, and next, for the sake of the nation, which
has the closest interest in the expansion of mind of
its rulers. For literature itself and its professors it
is of lees consequence than for the other parties con-
cerned; for their own life is sufficient for them.

Besides these objects, there must always be en-
grossing interests in regard to the passage of events,
at home and abroad. The great political movements
abroad, the vast social progress going on at home,
which occupy us all, from year to year, must be of
surpassing interest to one who will sooner or later
bear his share in the one, and preside over the other,
and will have meantime has duties as a peer of the
realm. He may exercise a certain amount of admi-
nistrative power in his Duchy of Demirel, are long.
There are still other objects with which he might fill
up a busy, useful, improving, and diversified life,
not devoid of good old English amusements, and
full, we may hope, in due course, of domestic
attachments. In the choice to which, from this day
forward, he must be tending, we shall see how much
we may hope and rejoice in for him and the great
nation whose welfare is closely bound up in his.
Thus far, all is bright and gladsome. It is a common
delight to the whole people toss the period of their
Sovereign's vigorous health and popular rule em-
ployed in the fit and careful training of her natural
successor. The stronger the promise of a long
present reign the finer is also the pro-
mise of a worthy future one. Oar Sore-
reign's throne is a great spectacle to all
nations, from its being the safest in the world,
fixed as it is on the firm basis of constitutional liberty.
Various fates seem to be lying in wait for other
thrones, within the present generation. Our hope
and confident anticipation is that our foundation will
hold good through all tempests abroad and transitions
at home; and one ground of our security is that we
have a Sovereign who understands at once the
gravity and the cheerfulness of constitutional

government, and who brings up her heir in a fall
sense of the same truth. The popular emotion to-
day means, throughout the land, long life and a
happy reign to mother and eon !

THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.

(TED DAY.)

Whether the Corporation Reform Act, which
bee been so long coming, will, when it deer come, deprive
Mrs City of the glories of Its Lord Mayor's dhow, we are we
able to tell; but taking the number of people w►o turned eat
of doors to witness It this morning so a criterion of Its pope.
laxity, he moat be a bold Home Secretary who would ven-
ters to propose a bill, any prevision of which may take
from the incoming Lord Mayor the right of astonishing the
natives an the 9th of Novembw, by parading in soignee
state the principal streets of the City, and of afterwards
entertaining at Oulidball as many guests as the great pares
of Gug and Magog can by any human possibility be mode to
accommodate, or the great purveyors of the London Tavern
sad the Albion be made to feed.

By 9 o'clock this morning the people had begun to collect
is imp slaw the route which it was known the procession
weld take, and every rite likely to afford • more than
ustelly good view of the pageant was speedily filled with
spectators. At 10 o'clock all the streets within the City
along the line of roate were closed to corns(' traffic. The
crowds assombloi along the lies were as duos so can well be
conceived. Until last year the progress from London-
bridge or Blackfriars to Westminster was always effected by
water; but since the ruthless act of parliament deprived the
City corporation of the conservancy of the Thames, the route
by the river has been abandoned by the indignant civics, end
their progress from the Guildhall to the hall of Williams
Rufus has been in the vulgar track of cabs sod omnibuses,
One result of the change has been, however, to extend the
line of procession, and exhibit the new Lord Meyer paring
westward of Temple Bar, in such civic state se was mew
before witnessed in thaw regions, where until now the parish
beadle has been the most showily bedizened functionary ever
seen abroad. Thus a greeter number of people than before
have been able to witness the wonders of the show. Trafalgar-
square has so become a f ivoured site for viewing the proces-
sion, and was to-day crowdol with people, In some parte to
an isoaavealest extent.

While waiting for the arrival of the promotion the multi•
Inds watt by no means idle or ill-tempered. Battles for good
plans, the breaking down of standings, inch u chairs,
tables, sad forms ricketty and rotten, hired at prices magi,*
from a pigmy to a shilling, performing acrobats, German
brans beads, and other monstrosities, Indian jaggier.,
" ge," and pocket•picking-offered an amount of
amusement charming in its variety and affording extraor-
disary fadlitko for delightful vojniment; the police by
no
means exerting themselves to put a stop to any innooent
recreation which did not materially interfere with their own
comfort or impede the progress of the proosseion.
Soon otter noon, the procesalon, which had for two bonrs
been gathering in Guildhall•yard and its vicinity to the
Mash of the joy belle of Bt. Lawrence Jewry, end the mesh
of regimental bands, started on Ito way in the following
order:

The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,

Attended by the Chaplain, Sword Bearer, and COMIMICa Crier.
Goad of honour, on horseback.
The guard of honour to the Lord Mayor washout the 10th
Homers, and occasional partias of troopers from the same
regiment were thrown out on either flank along the prom-
sion.
The morning was splendid. The rain kindly held itself
in suspense, while October had so far forestalled the fogs of
November .a to leave behind it for to-day the faintest sem-
blance of a mist, just sufficient to mellow and temper the
splendour of the sue, which envious Frenchmen say
hew stunts in London. Everything combined to
put people In good humour, and tha proteetion,
although far below the splendour of former days, was well
received. The Leed Mayor was repeatedly cheered and
bowed graciously in return; and although he perhaps felt
a little elated under the pressure of his newly-fledged
honour., he boys them altogether with stately meekness, as
became • "citizen and clockesaker.” The band of the
Leaden Rifle Brigade also received manifestations of City
favour—s fact which is encouraging to the council, who are
said to be ambitious of making it the finest military band In
the kingdom.
The proceed= moved from Goildhell and pared
through Grisham-street, Princes-street, King William-
GrahecLurvirrni:rnet, and Cernbill. The pro-
cession stopped at the entrance to St. Michael's Church,
Conlin!, where the children of the Colrain and Lime-street
ward =lmola presented an address to the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, the president, and thence through the Poultry,
Cheapens, Queen-.tree[, Cannon-street, St. Paul's-church-
yard, Newgete-street, Skinner-street, Faningdon-strtet
Fleet-onvet, Strand, to Westminster.
Arrived at Wodminster Hall, the procession moved on to
the Court of Exchequer and so arranged therneelvesae to allow
the Lord Mayor, with the sword and max, to pees between
them into the court, following after according to seniority.
On entering the mud, after doe arrangement, the Lord
Mayor made three obtioances to the Court, taking off his hat
each time, and we. then Foment= by the Recorder in an ap-
propriate speech.
The Chief Baron then addreamed the Lod Mayor, and
the usual oaths were administered, awl the anal warrants
read.
The Recorder then invited the Barons to the Lwil Mayor's
banquet, and afterward. proceeded to the other courts to
invite the remaining judges; @fier which, the rooted=
(joined by the Lady Mayoress) returned to the City, by way
of the Strand, Fleet-street, Lwigate-bill, St. Paul's-church-
yard, Chespeide, and King William-street, to Guinean, to
await that banquet which has long been the envy of sur-
rounding municipalities, and the admiration of all lovers of
turtle-Poop, gated eating and drinking, geed company, and
grand display is the c.vilteed world.
