SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—The joy caused yesterday through-
out the metropolis by the gratifying announcement that
the Queen was safely delivered of a Prince, will be shar.ai
by all the subjects of her wide-spread dominions. The
loyalty of the people of England is not an irrational
prostration of their faculties, but, as the word strictly
imports, the homage paid to law and order, personified
in the Sovereign. Respect for law and order teaches
every Englishman to respect the power through which
the law is efficient, and by which social order is main-
tained. So far is this principle carried among us, that,
except in such an extreme case as that which drove the
second . James from the throne, loyalty is proof even
against the possession of qualities which may
lower the Sovereign in the regard of the peo-
ple. Their loyalty,. indeed, was put to a severe
test -by the Sovereign who preceded William the
Fourth. Between the loyalty which is paid as a debt to
a Sovereign, as being the fountain of law, in whose per-
son the majesty of the law is honoured, and the Warm re-
gard and admiration won by her Majesty from all classes
of her subjects since her accession to the Throne, there
is an immense difference. The wisdom and prudence in
forming resolves, and firmness in maintaining them, dis-
played hy the Queen at ;;he very early age when she
was called to the• throne, led the nation to entertain
the most sanguine hopes from her reign, and hopes
which have been amply realised. No person ap-
proaches her Majesty without receiving the •
most favourable impression of her judgment and her
wisdom. It has already been her flute to be
placed in circumstances which have called for the exercise
of the utmost prudence and discretion, and she has al-
ways proved herself equal to the occasion. The Prince
whom her Majesty gave yesterday to the nation will en-
joy the unspeakable advantage of being trained under a
mother the exemplar of every virtue,
.who has afforded
in her own person a striking instance of the advantages '
derivable from an excellent education. The nation has,
in the knowledge that the Prince destined one day to fill
the throne of these realms will have the unspeakable be-
nefit
of the example and instruction of such a mother— '
an assurance, a guarantee, that as far as wisdom and
virtue can be communicated, they will belong to her
Majesty's successor. Into the heartfelt joy manifested
by all ranks, considerations such as the above no doubt
largely entered. Her Majesty is beloved for her many
amiable qualities, and esteemed for her wisdom and pru-
dence. Under the care of such a mother, the Prince,
who yesterday first saw the light, can hardly fail to im-
bibe the moral and intellectual qualities which are re-
quired in a Sovereign. The youth of Princes is beset
by dangers from which that of humbler individuals is
comparatively exempt ; and it requires all the care and
affection of a kind mother to guard against them. Happy
may the Prince be deemed who shall have the unspeak-
able advantage of the guardianship of such a parent as
our beloved Queen !
TIMES.—The auspicious event of her Majesty's
second happy delivery, and the birth of an heir-appa-
rent to the English throne, will create one universal
feeling of joy throughout the kingdom. The public
have for some time been expecting this intelligence with
impatient anxiety, and the minis of all were made up
to the conviction that the illustrious infant would be
a Prince of Wales. Providence has gracioasly been
pleased to realize these anticipations, and to bestow
upon the British nation the strongest possible gua-
rantee for the continuance of all the innumerable
blessings which are involved in that form of govern-
ment under which we have the happiness to live.
The security thus given for the perpetuation, not
only of the British Throne, but of the illustrious family
by which it is now occupied, calls for the most earnest
expressions of gratitude to that Almighty Power who
rules over the destinies of nations. Never, perhaps, was
the British, or any other Crown warn by a succession of
Sovereigns who " bore their faculties so meek," or
were " so clear in their great office," as the Princes of
' 'the House of Brunswick. It has been, from first to
'lnst:(whatever imperfections might be pointed out in the
personal history of some of them), their characteristic
'praise to have endeavoured to understand -and act
according to the spirit of the Constitution under
which they reign.
.In their minds, as well as
in their conduct, the principles of Monarchy and pre-
rogative have been identified with, instead of opposed
to, liberty and law. They have been ever found
ready to sacrifice their personal inclinations to the good
of their subjects, and to the maintenance of the esta-
blished system, insomuch that the idea of personal in-
: clinations capable of conflicting with the constitution
has ceased to find a place in the notion which English-
men conceive of Their Sovereign. And if this has been
-always the distinguishing feature of the government of
the house of Brunswick, it may be said with justice that
this truly Royal character was never more beautifully
represented or exemplified than in the person of our
present Sovereign. On her accession to the throne
she gave her free and generous confidence to those
advisers whom the judgment of the nation, constitu-
tionally expressed, had placed round her beneficent
predecessor. -By their advice she governed, on their
responsibility she acted, with a gracious cheerfulness
which proved how thoroughly she understood her ex-
alted duties. When Parliament declared that those
Ministers had lost the confidence of the country, her
Majesty's confidence was instantly and unreservedly
transferred to others whom the voice of the nation pointed
out as more worthy. No private feelings, no partialities
1 or antipathies, such as the subtle influence of unscrupu-
lous partisans, having constant access to her person,
i might have infused into an ordinary mind, ever ex-
isted on the part of Queen Victoria ; nor, if they
had existed, would they have been suffered for an
instant to interfere with her high sense of duty. The
ingratitude of men • incapable of understanding how
a Sovereign could be gracious without being a partisan
had endeavoured to connect her name with faction, and
had represented her as one whom they could persuade to
govern by arbitrary methods and coups detat. But lit-
tle did these persons understand the principles of thei
Queen. When the proper opportunity came she cast them or
without hesitation, and treated their successors with thff
same impartial kindness, the same frank confidences
which she had given to themselves. With such experi-II
ence all must rejoice, as in a singular blessing, to see,
year after year, a succession of scions of the Royal tree
springing up round the throne of Queen Victoria.
Each of them is a separate pledge of the lasting dura-
tion of peace, order, liberty, and prosperity to the Bri-
tish empire. "
HERALD.—It is our pleasing duty, this day, to
tender to her Majesty, and to the country at large, our
hearty congratulations on an event which comes upon
' us as an earnest, granted by Divine Providence, of its
gracious intention to prolong, in a royal line'Of British
princes, descended from her Majesty, throng!' a long-
, continued succession, that brilliant career with which
1 the name of Queen Victoria is already associated, and
will be transmitted to the most distant posterity. By
what majestic characters among those which bespeak a
people rich in their acquisition of the elements that com-
pose the grandeur of empires, has not Britain been desig-
nated since her Majesty's happy accession to the throne
of her ancestors? • The alternate triumphs of peace and
war-F-a lofty pre-eminence among the nations in intellec-
tual energy and refinement—an undisputed superiority in
all those arts which improve, adorn, and consolidate our
social institutions—the patriotism to prize and the genius
to protect those marvellous inventions which outstrip
the march of centuries, and overleap, at a bound, the
I tardy discoveries of our progenitors, in many centuties
—inventions, which multiply the forces, the capacity,
and the enjoyments of our species whilst they extend
its empire over all the kingdoms of naturehe
talents,"animate
t
and inanimate ; these are ,of the gifts—":
as it were—wherewith this country was blessed when
her Gracious Majesty assumed.. the sceptre, and which
it has been permitted to improve from that momentt up
to the present hour. In the birth of a Prince, to
in the course of nature—and at a (lay whom,
distant as the
affections of her Majesty's loyal and devoted subjects
would desire to witness the transfer—that sceptre may
be destined to pass, we see the most gladening prospect
of the continuity, under the Divine permission, of this
golden chain of sovereignty, within the salutary and
gentle restraints of which public peace, opulence and
security will work their mission, in undisturbed efficiency,
of giving permanency, vigour and consolidation to
" British greatness," in the most ample and beneficent
sense of the term. Hail, then, to the infant Prince !
And may he realise, in their fullest extent, and least-
. alloyed combination, the splendid fortunes to which
his birth and lineage, the constitution. of his country, and
the wishes of the nation, alike design him !
IPOST.—The announcement yesterday of the birth of i
a Prince excited one universal feeling of joy among the
1 inhabitants of the metropolis : and this feeling will iii'f-
j fuse itself throughout the land as rapidly
genee of the happy event can be conveyed. The British
intelli-
gence
' people will unite in one hearty prayer that the new
be
scion of the House of Brunswick may for

and moral culture requisite r the dueconcerns performancethmenta of
the onerous duties of his rank and station, present

and virtues of Queen Victoria - combine to form, the
young Prince can hardly fail to receive the
most suitable and valuable lessons in private and
public duty—the former comprehend the virtues
which render the individual estimable ; the latter
are essential to be known and cultivated by the
Prince, who is born to become, in the order of
succession, the Sovereign of a people jealous of their
liberties, and who recognize in their Monarch the
