THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1860,

We would respectfully congratulate his Royal
Highness the PRINCE CONSORT upon the admirable
discretion with which as Master of the Trinity-
house he presided on Saturday evening last at the
anniversary banquet of that ancient and honourable
corporation. Recognising this discretion in every
syllable that fell from the lips of his Royal High-
ness upon this occasion, we can all the more wil-
lingly for the nonce let bygones be bygones. We
can even allow for the moment the recent oratorical
display of his Royal Highness as Colonel of the
Grenadier Guards to slip from our recollection.
Permitting that latest lapsus lingwe to es-
cape our memory for one brief interval
the more readily because, already in its regard, we
have said our say quite frankly without an in-
stant's thought of anything in the way of courtly
reticence or courtierlike circumlocution. Happily,
in the present instance, there is nothing whatever
that the most cynical could take exception to.
The PRINCE has afforded no one, not even the
most captious, the faintest opportunity to cavil at
his remarks. His Royal Highness on Saturday
last spoke--as it best befits the CONSORT of our
QUEEN to speak—that beloved Sovereign, who
from the first hour of the commencement of her
reign until now, during the lapse of all
these three-and-twenty years, has undeviatingly
" walked in the light of the Constitution !"
The excellent judgment, and we might even say
at times the exquisite taste with which his Royal
Highness introduced the various toasts of the even-
ing, as chairman of the Banquet at the Trinity
House, on the 23d instant, shine all the more
agreeably upon our recognition, in contrast with
those past words of indiscretion, of which we are
now fain to lose the remembrance. Nothing, for
example, could have been, at once, more graceful
or more apposite than the incidental references
made by the Prince to three of his Royal High-
ness's eight children, when introdusing the some-
what trite toast of " the Prince of WALES and the
rest of the Royal Family:' While even the
younger members of that august house are
now rapidly growing up—the PRINCE CONSORT
observed on Saturday—" The PRINCESS ROYAL
has already become the founder of a new family
destined to mount the throne of Prussia; the Prince
of WALES is following his academic course at
Oxford, which he proposes to complete at the
sister university, Cambridge ; while his younger
brother having by the prescribed apprentice-
ship earned his rating as a midshipman, serves
zealously as such in the fleet." Evidences these that
the education of each young Prince is, indeed,
sedulously eared
for, as it ought only in reason
to be, to fit them both for their high destinies.
But his Roysi Highness added with peculiar
impressiveness—" It. will be curious coincidence
that, nearly at the same time, a few weeks hence,
though almost at the oPPosite Poles, the Prince of
WALEs will inaugurate, in the QUEEN'S name,
that stupendous weak, the Great Bridge
over the
,St. Lawrence, in Canada, while Prince ALFRED will
L-iy the foundation stone of the breakwater for
tl‘e harbour of Cape Town ;"—exclaiming there.upon, " What vast considerations as regards our
co antry, are brought to our mind in this simple fact
What present greatness! What past history ! What
future hopes; and how important and beneficent
is the part given to the royal family of England
to act in the development of those distant and
who recognise in the British
rising countries,
Crown and their allegiance to it their supreme
bond a union with the mother country and with
