CHRONICLE.—The
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY•
joy caused yesterday through-
out the metropolis by the gratifying announcement that
the Queen was safely delivered of a Prince, will be shared
by all the subjects of- her wide-spread dominions. The
I
loyalty of the people of I ns tbouil, a
is not
then
prostration Of their faculties
imports,- the
- homage paid to law and order, personified
in the Sovereign.
-Respect for law and order teaches
every Englishman to - respect the lower through which
the law is "efficient, and by which social order is main-
tained. So far is this principle carried mores 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-
pie 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 iu maintaining them, dis-
played by the Queen at the 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 fate 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 Mire 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.wriich that of humbler iedividuals 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 throns, 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 minds of all were made up.
to the conviction that the illustrious infant would be
a Prince of Wales. Providence has sgraciossly been
pleased to realize these anticipations, and to bee tow
upon the British nation the strongest possible gua-
rantee for the continuance of all the innumerable
blessings which are involved in that form of govent-
meat 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 worn by a succession of
Sovereigns who " bore their faCulties so meek," or
were " so clear in their great office," as the Princes of
ight
tinh be
eheir characteristic
the House of Brunswick. It has been from first to
pointed out in the
plaesrtso(nwahlatheivseto%i,nolpfesrofinecetiootris
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 beets
always the distinguishing feature of the government of
the house of Brunswick, it may be said with justice that
tills 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-.
!sited 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
I out as more. worthy. No private feelings, no partialities
or antipathies, such as the subtle influence of unscrupu-
lous partisans, having constant access to her person,
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
hail represented her as one whom they could persuade to
govern by arbitrary methods and coups detut. But lit-
tle did thesa persons understand the principles of their
Queen. When the proper opportunity came she cast theta o
without hesitation, and treated their successors with thur,
same impartial kindness, the same frank confidencee
which she had given to themselves. With such experi-q
ence all must rejoice, as in a singular blessing, to seek,
, 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. _ _ _

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CIIRONICLE.—A memorial to the President of the
United States was in course of signature by the ship-
owners of New York, complaining of toe appointment
of foreigners to the situation of American Consuls at
foreign parts, antl praying for the removal from oflice of
all Consuls and commercial agents appointed by the Go-
vernment of the United States who are not citizens of
the United States.

The follow ing articles are chargeable with a duty of
10 per cent. ad valorem under thu new American Revenue
Bill :

Worsted stuff goods and ?hawls ; manufactures of silk
and worsted ; manufactures of silks, or of which silk is
the component material of chief value, except sewing silk.
From this classiticatisotithere will be necessarily ex-
cepted such enumerated articles as were by former laws
charged with higher rates of duty, such as ready-made
clothing, of whatsoever materials composed, paying
under former laws 50 per cent. ad valorem. _
_ _

Millinery, hosiery, kits, gloves, and bindings, of what-
soever materials composed, paying under former laws 25
per cent. ad valorem.
Coach laces, of whatever materials composed, paying
under former laws 35 per cent. ad valorem.
lIBBALD.----Exchequer bills are 10s. to 12s. pre-
mium. Business in the latter Securities is now as regu-
larly transacted as in ordinary times, and as if no frauds
in them had ever been heard of, or the slightest proba-
bility existed that any would be repudiated on presenta-
tion for payment or exchange at the appointed time.
This cessation of all agitation and excitement on the
subject is attributable in fact to the general conviction,
which could not fail to gain ground, that all the bills
issued without exception, unless in cities where fraud,
or collusion, is clearly proveable, will be acknowledged
and received in as values. Until after the trial of the
criminal parties, and a full acquaintance with all the
evidence and facts which must transpire on the occasion,
it would be manifestly impossible, as it is absurd to ex-
pect it, that the Treasury should be in a position to de-
cide and declare which are, and whick are not to be,
bills admissible, because untainted with fraud so far as
regards the holders. These are the plain features of the
case as now existing, which all the vague and con-
tradictory
speculations put forward day by day seem
intended rather to mystify than to render
TIMES.—The difficulty of disposing of the loan to
the Federal Government recently allowed by Congress
---a difficulty which is so great that the probability of the
Americans once more trying the London market, as it
were in despair, has been more than once talked of in
our monetary circles—is a subject of frequent discussion
in the United States Journals, and some of those who
from the first were warmly opposed to the distribution of
the public lands now ascribe to that measure a deterio-
ration of public credit to such a degree as fully to
account for the difficulty of completing the sub-
scriptions. Beforehand, they say, with hundreds of
millions of acres to pledge, no capitalist could hesitate
to advance his money, but now the receipts of the cus-
toms are the only security on which the lender can rely.;
a most doubtful security in case of war—every one is re
fusing to come torward, although capitalists are act"-*
at a loss for a safe investment of their murt,'''

In the money market of New York a great deal of
excitement has been occasioned by the cashier of the
Commercial Bank proving a defaulter. Legal process
had been Issued against him, and the affair is cited as
one o? the many instances of the evil arising from Di-
rectors of banks placing too implicit confidence in their
officers.

SUN.—The holiday which the Lord Mayor's day be-
gan, the happy birth of a Prince of Wales has rendered
complete. Business has been scarcely thought of, except
among the graver citizens.
The Funds have been rather better upon the news of
the safe accouchement. A good deal of anxiety still
prevails on the subject of Exchequer bills, and this
checks the improvement. For immediate transfer, Con-
sols have realised $9 to 89k, and for Account, 89f to
891 Exchequer Bills hare been at 10 to 12 premium.
The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. hare realised
99f to 994 ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities, 88
to 884.
The Foreign Market was chiefly characterised by a
depression in Spanish Bonds, but this was not of any
magnitude. The Active Bonds were quoted at 20i to 1.
Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 291, and the
Three per Cents, at 18 ; Colombian at 19i to ; Chilian
at a rise to 70 and 701; Brazilian at 574 ; and Peruvian
at 131. Belgian Bonds realised 1001 to 4 ; French
Three per Cents were a shade lower, viz., 79 75 ; and
Dutch Five per Cents. were 991 to t.
Shares continued to. support their value, but, like
Stock, they were not much dealt in. Great Western
Railway were at 14 to 15. ; Birmingham at 69 ; the
New at 23 ; York and North Midland at 32 ; and South
Western at 13,1 premium. Brighton were 12 to 121 ;
and North Midland, 34 discount. Colonial Bank Shares
were 34 ; and Provincial Bank of Ireland, 15 premium.
National Provincial Bank of England Shares were It dis.
The rate on Hamburgh, to-day, for Bills of Exchange,
was less firm, being at 13 9t to 101- ; but on Paris it
improved to 25 674, and 724. The rates on the other
cities were these :—Amsterdam, 12 44 ; Antwerp, 12 34
to 4 ; Frankfort, 1494 ; and Trieste, 9 53 to 54.

THE BANQUET AT GUILDHALL.

Two circumstances relieved this entertainment from
the usual routine of city festivals ; the first was the birth
of an illustrious Prince, which has given joy to every
loyal heart throughout the kingdom ; and the second,
the first appearance of the representatives of the new
Ministry before a large audience of the citizens of Lon-
don, comprising men of many shades of political opinion.
The first—that is, the fond hope of the nation in the
birth of a Prince—was the theme of the evening. It
was referred to in almost every speech, and every allusion
to it was hailed with the most hearty plaudits. The re-
ception of the Ministers was by no means favourable.
On the Right of the Lord Mayor we observed the
French Ambassador, the Lord Chancellor, Sir Robert
Peel, Lord IV harncliffe, Earl Haddington, Earl Ripon,
Lord Stanley, Lord Fitzgerald, Sir James Graham, Lord
G. Somerset, Sir H. Hardinge, Sir E. Knatchbull, Earl
Lincoln, Earl Delawarr, Earl Jersey, Earl Jermyn, Vis-
count Canning, Viscount Lowther, Due Andre de Casil-
liana Laurent, Prince de Corsini, Lord E. Bruce, Lord
Colville, Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Colonel Darner,
Right Hon. Lowry Cole, Mr. P. M. Gaskell, Sir G. Sey-
mour, Captain Gordon. There were also present Mi-
nisters from the Netherlands, Venezuela, Hanover,
Prussia, Brussels, and Saxony; the Charge d'Affaires
of Mexico, of Sicily, of Denmark, of Austria, of Russia,
and Turkey. On the left were the Duke of Buccleuch,
Earl Aberdeen, Lord Hill, Lord Langdale, Lord Abinger,
Vice-Chancellors K. Bruce and Wigram, Right Hon. S;
Lushington, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Baron Gurney,
Justidt.s Coleridge, Maule, and Wightman, Attorney-
General, Sergeant Ludlow, Sergeant Bompas, Sergeant

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, through a long-
continued succession, that brilliant career with which
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 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 awl
war—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
tardy discoveries of our progenitors, in many centuries
—inventions, which multiply the forces, the capacity,
and the. enjoyments of our species whilst they extend
its empire over all the kingdoms of nature animate
and inanimate ; these, are of the gifts—" the talents."
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 moment up
to the present hour. In the birth of a Prince, to whom,
in the course of nature—and at a clay 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 1.1 i„,

The LORD MAYOR gave, as the first toast, " Her Ma-
jest~y the Queen."—(Loud cheers.)
11le LORD MAMOR Was delighted to propose, as the
next toast, "The Infant Prince, the Heir Apparent to the
Throne."—(Loud and enthusiastic cheering.)
The LORD MAYOR then gave, " The Queen Dowager,
Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the rest of the
Royal Family."

'the next toast was, "The Army and Navy."
Lord HILL returned thanks for the army. In doing
so, lie was understood (for he was all but inaudible) to
congratulate the company on the auspicious birth of a
Prince, who, from personal observation, he could take on
himself to say was a remarkably fine boy.—(Great cheer-
ing.) He could assure the company he felt most grate •
ful for the compliment they had paid the service to which
he belonged. Ile might, perhaps, be allowed to men-
tion, as a reason why he felt an additional interest in
their proceedings, that, in 1541, an ancestor of his own
occupied that chair as the first Protestant Lord Mayor.
Lord CoLvium returned thanks for the navy.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed, "Count St. Aulairc,
and the Foreign Ambassadors."
Count ST. AULAIRE addressed the company with
much earnestness in French, and expressed his extreme
regret that he had to address that company in a lan,
guage which was not known to the whole. He felt a
most anxious desire to express the delight he felt at
being present at a Lord Mayor's feast on such a day as
the present. It had dawned auspiciously, and he trusted
that the brightness of the dawn would be fully borne out
by the continued splendour of the day.—(Loud cheers.)
He begged to assure the company that not only did
France look to England with a friendly and brotherly
feeling, but the Royal Family of France entertained a
"family" and most intimite affection for the Royal
Family of England.-- (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR gave " her Majesty's Ministers,"
which was responded to with cheers.
Sir.R.PEEL returned thanks. He said, my Lord Mayor,
Ladies, and Gentlemen, whatever obligation her Ma-
jesty's Ministers may owe to you for the compliment you
have just paid them, I should ill respond to the feelings
which you have expressed in so enthusiastic a manner if I
did not on their parts express, in the first in-
stance, • their cordial satisfaction at being allowed
to join with their fellow-subjects in this ancient hall in
expressing their feelings of exultation at that auspicious
event which will make this day memorable in the an-
nals of . the empire—(Loud cheers)—and which, by
completing tlit domestic happiness of her Majesty, and

feeling will dif-

have been attained, he may prove. himself worthy of his
ancestry, and a blessing to the nation over which his he-

NEWSPAPERS.—IIe Tocqueville, in biz work
on America, gives this forcible sketch--,. A newspaper
drops the same thought into a thousand Minds at the
same moment. A newspaper is an adviser who does not
' require to be sought, but who comes to you of his own
accord, and talks to you briefly every day of common
I weal, without distracting your private affairs. News-
papers, therefore, become more necessary in proportion
as men become more equal, and individuals snore to be
feared. To suppose that they only serve to protect fre-
-1 dom would be to diminish their importance ; they main-
tain civilization,"
