LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 24, 1863.

After donning with the utmost grace and cor-
diality the' more ornamental trappings of his high
and august position, the Heir Apparent to the
throne of these realms is now assuming the more
serious duties hitherto discharged (the whole em-
pire knows how nobly !) by his illustrious father.
Conspicuous among the many self-imposed, or at
2y rate readily accepted, responsibilities of his
Royal Highness the late PRINCE CONSORT, pecu-
liarly conspicuous amongst them, position
his the
his Royal Highness occupied as President of the
Society of Arts. rio that important office his Royal
Highness the Prince of •
WALES, it will now be per-
ceived, has succeeded. The circumstances under
which this more
accepted than merely honorary office
has been
in ever s- y his Royal Highness, are
J Point of view profoundly interesting.

respected, and most gifted Vice-P
from the first, the Society recognised upon the death
of the PRINCE CONSORT that the one especial

theseeing actually realised. Meaning by this
instant aspiration of the members that his late
Royal Highness the Prince Consort might be
succeeded, as soon as a fitting time should have
elapsed after that great national calamity, by his
eldest son, his Royal Highness the Heir Apparent.
That fitting time has now in truth elapsed. The
recent death of Mr. TOOKE, the Society's late vene-
rable President, has afforded the council of the
Society the opportunity to which they had long
been looking for ward. Of that opportunity the
members have at once with loyal eagerness availed
themselves. Wane doing so, they have by
their every allusion to his Royal Highness's
father, held up before the Prince of WALES
.."r'''ery model or pattern of what such
4eaident ought to be. " The Council can
neverr forget," says their address to his Royal
Highness, " the obligations of the society to your
illustrious father, who, for a period of eighteen
