LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 9, 1864.

The happy news of this morning will take the
country by surprise, but that surprise will be
accompa aied by one unanimous feeling of universal
satisfacton. The young PRINCESS, whom but
a few brief months back we welcomed so joy-
ously to ,our shores is now the happy mother of
a fair eon, the heir to the English Crown,
P.nd, better still, the inheritor of the
loyal affections of many millions of honest hearts.
As grandam and heir of our beloved and revered
SOVEREIGY, th>> constitutional and popular Vic
10134 A, as the first offspring of the happy anion of
the young Prince of WALES and his charming and
amiable Princess, the unconscious infant, who has
just drawl breath amid the stately precincts of
Windsor Castle, is invested with a claim upon our
eympathi: s and upon our interest far exceeding
any due to the regal parapharnalia which over-
shadows his "baby brow." Hence the spontaneous
delight with which this auspicious event will be
greeted throughout the whole length and breadth of
the land, and far beyond the seas, is no empty ex-
pression of courtly flattery, but the genuine
attestation of national sympathy and affection. No
better wishes can be framed for the Infant Prince
and his Royal father, than that they may
worthily tread in their beloved parents' foot-
steps ; that they may follow the noble, earnest,
unostentatious example of the reigning QUEEN,
whose mother's heart is this day rejoiced with
new blessing and animated with a new hope, and
of him so recently lost and so deeply regretted, who
now sleeps in the precincts of that same Windsor
wherein his Royal grandson has but just now seen
the light. Considering that vicinity, not inappro-
priate even to the lips of these Royal Princes are
the lines of the famous republican hymn-
4, Nous entrons dans la carriers ou nos sines n'y sout plus
Notts y trouvons lour poussiere, et la trace de leur
vertus."

Afay the traces of those virtues long flourish in the

hearts and lives of ALBERT of Wales and his
descendants, and may our belored QUEEN find a
consolation in her own bereavement in recognising
the happy fruition of those noble aspirations which
PAnctify the memory of the Past, and justify the
brightest anticiptions for the Future.

The condition of the English agricultural
labourer has often furnished malcontents with a
text for denouncing the institutions of the country.
It has been descanted upon by Chartists as an
