EXTRAORDINARY,

BUCKINGHAM PALACE, Nov. 9, 1841.
This morning, at twelve minutes before eleven,
the Queen was happily delivered of a Prince
His Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, several Lords o
her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council
and the Ladies of her Majesty's Bedchamber
being present. .

This great and important news was immediately
made known to the town by the firing of the Park
and Tower guns; and the Privy Council being as-
sembled, as' soon as possible thereupon, at the
Council-Chamber, Whitehall, it was ordered, that
a Form of Thanksgiving for the Queen's safe
delivery of a Prince be prepared by his Grace
the Archbishop of Canterbury, to be used in al
churches and chapels throughout England and
Wales, and the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed,
on Sunday the 14th of November, or the Sunday
after the respective ministers shall receive the

Lame.

Her Majesty and the Infant Prince are, God
be praised, both doing well.
The following official bulletin, announcing her
Majesty's accouchement, and the birth of a
Prince, was published yesterday afternoon :
" The Queen was safely delivered of a Prince
this morning at 48 minutes past 10 o'clock.
" Her Majesty and the Infant Prince are going
on well.

(From The Sun of yesterday.)

The following interesting intelligence reached
us in about ten minutes after the joyful event,
which we immediately published in a second
edition of The Morning Sun, and despatched

papers with the welcome news to every part
of the country. We rejoice to learn that her
Majesty and his Royal Highness, up to the hour
at which we write, are as well as the most

oval and affectionate subjects of our be-
Loved Queen can wish them. The Park

guns, and also the Tower guns, were fired
a little after two o'clock, a striking proof
that her MAJESTY goes on favourably, and that
no fear was entertained of disturbing her rest

by this mode of announcing to the metropolis
the birth of a Prince.

At an early hour this morning her MAJESTY
was taken suddenly ill, and it was therefore con-
sidered advisable to send summonses to the Ca-
binet Ministers and other Great Officers of
State. Sir ROBERT PEEL arrived at the Palace
as early as 8 o'clock. The LORD CIIANCELLOR, the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY and the Bishop of
LONDON arrived about ten. The Duke of WEL-

LINOTON, the Earl of ABERDEEN, and other
Ministers arrived about half-past ten.

At ten minutes to eleven her MAJESTY was

safely delivered of a Prince and Heir to the
Throne. We understand that her MAJESTY is

going on extremely well.

Information of this important and interesting

event was immediately forwarded to the LORD
MAYOR and to the various official Departments.

Most of the Ministers left the Palace shortly
after eleven o'clock; but Lord Lyndhurst and
Sir Robert Peel did not take their departure
till twenty minutes before twelve. Sir Robert
Peel and the Earl of Aberdeen left together in
the carriage of the latter. Dr. Locock and Sir
James Clarke slept at the Palace last night.
Shortly before twelve o'clock the Duke of '
Cambridge and Prince George Cambridge
arrived at the Palace on foot, and stopped there
till nearly one o'clock. Prince Ernest of Hesse
Philippsthal also called at the Palace. The
Duchess of Kent, who had been_in constant at-
tendance on her Majesty since the commence-
ment of her illness (seven o'clock this morning),
left the Palace in one of the Royal carriages
shortly before one o'clock. Long before this
hour crowds
mall in front of
of personstltehad

no lxl

to on t I
obtain

Palace,
of most important event.
; From our inquiries at the Palace we understand

that her Majesty is going on very well.

Shortly after two o'clock the Park and Town.
(runs were fired, and the bells of the different

churches of the Metropolis rung a merry peal
for the purpose of celebrating the auspicious

event.

What with the birth of a Prince, and the
Lord Mayor's Show, the day appears a complete

holiday and her Majesty's loyal subjects seem

determined to make it so.
