** Immediately after the birth of the young Princess
Summonses were issued for holding a Privy Council at
the Council Office, at foul o'clock. The Council sat
nearly an hour, and was attended by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, as Regent, the Lord Chancellor, Vis-
count Melbourne, Lord John Russell, the Lord Chief
Justice of the Queen's Bench, the Archbishop of Can-
terbury, the Bishop of Loudon, and several other Privy
COuncillors.
•At the Council, we understand, the form of prayer
1.1)r her Majesty's safe delivery was agreed upon.

, As soon as the birth of the Princess was known steps
were taken at the Home Office to communicate the
testifying intelligence in an official form to different parts
of the country. The intelligence was conveyed to all
the branches of the Royal Family.

(From the Observer.)
At two o'clock yesterday morning the first symptoms
of, uneasiness were indicated, and at four her Majesty
,With great firmness directed that her attendants should
bare
summoned : among these was Mrs. Lilly, who, we
'are heard, was formerly nurse to the Duchess of
Stitherland, and whose experience at once forewarned
:ner of the propriety of immediately summoning her Ma-
Jest Y's professional advisers. Sir James Clark, Dr.
''acoek, Mr. R. Ferguson, and Mr. R. Blagden, were
thstantly sent for, and were quickly on the spot. No
doubt now existed that her Majesty was in labour, al.
sough certainly some days sooner than was anticipated.
~..*aeh preparations as the suddenness of the emer-
,,tbnY would permit were made without delay.
Line Hon. W. Murray, the Comptroller of the House-
bold, the inmates of the Palace, and special
aQe"engers were despatched to her Royal Highness the
„I/chess of Kent, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Pi.sho of London, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Mel-
' Zurne, Lord Palmerston, Lord Errol, Lord Albc-
"mark, Lord John Russell, and other Privy Coun-
cillors, whose constitutional duty it was to be
Present at the birth of an heir to the throne.
Ili messenger was also despatched to his Royal
ighness the Duke of Sussex. Her Majesty's august
kr(!nt was early at the Palace, and in the course of the
horning was followed by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the
Bishop of London, and the other noblemen whose
rnes we have mentioned. His Royal Highness the
uke of Sussex, it is stated, was unable to attend,
from indisposition. In her Majesty's chamber were the
Duchess of Kent, Prince Albert, and the medical men,
!To Mrs. Lilly and some of the Ladies of the Bed-
arnbee ; while, in an adjoining apartment, the door of
Which was open, were the other distinguished individuals
ientioned. As the day advanced the Palace was kept
th Perfect quietness, while all noise from without, from
tilt Passing of bands or otherwise, was interdicted. From
ktoie w ho had the best means of information, we learn that
r Alajesty evinced a firmness and composure almost
ti:rodible—at intervals exhibiting a cheerfulness and pa-
in submission to ber sufferings, in all respects consist-
eat with the well-known attributes of her character. The
b t ear approach of that interestingmoment which was to give
these realms an heir to the throne at last arrived, and
Aseeisely at ten minutes before two o'clock Mrs. Lilly
totertd the room where the Privy Councillors were
assembled , with the " Young Stranger," a beautiful,
tinroP, and healthful Princess, wrapped in flannel, in
"r arms. She was attended by Sir James Clark,
who announced the fact of its being a female. Her
tnyal Highness was for a moment laid upon the table
it the observation of the assembled authorities ; but
til
ho loud tones in which she indieated her displeasure at
an exposure, while they proved the soundness of
Zvtangs and the maturity of her frame, rendered it
acl?able that she should be returned to her chamber to
Aih:e her tirst attire. His Royal Highness Prince
stnt, t, having received the congratulations of all pre-
-11.. conveyed the gratifying intelligence that her
wiesty was, in all respects, as well as could be cx-
4,:ed ; and " the officials" retired to spread the happy
uythroughout the metropolis, and to prepare to meet
iv" hitehall, whither the Privy Council were forthwith
djanioned to meet at four o'clock, to give the usual
por •tons for announcing to the nation, as well as to
iti,"elgn States, an event of such deep and gratifying
Prtane.
