NT, has much pleasure in laying be-
lie, Mr. ABERNETHY'S ESTI-
us Pills, extracted from a Letter
!ssed to him in the year 1824 :

" I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derangement
of the functions of that important organ, and connected with
a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause, chiefly,
may be attributed the various diseases of the body, both local
and constitutional.) and I have thus had frequent opportu-
nities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They greatly
influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty and in
the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs, without
occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a most ex-
cellent family aperient medicine, which may be taken at all
times,with perfect safety."

They are prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon
Extraordinary to her Serene Ilighness the late Landgravine
of Hesse Romberg, and may be had of all respectable Medi-
cine Venders, in boxes at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d.

Stage Manager, Mr. C. F. MARSHALL.
MR. TILBURY and Mr. HIGGIE are engaged, and will
shortly appear.

We hear a very valuable discovery has been made in the
property of Lord Poltimore at Northinolton, on the borders
of Exmoor, of a very rich copper mine, the ore of which
abounds with a large portion of gold. It is said the ore is of
the purest kind, found in large bunches, and that pieces of
gold of some size have also been met with.—Western Times.

The Duke of Rutland has given the princely sum of £lOOO
towards the funds for restoring thevenerable church at Bake-
well, Derbyshire. The other subscribers are the Duke of
Devonshire for £5OO, Mr. William Evans, M.P., £lOO, and
the Rev. H. Dudley Ryder £lOO. The church is well known
to all tourists in that county, and has long been the admira-
tion of antiquaries. It is the oldest sacred structure in the
county.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER..—Her majesty continues in the
possession of uninterrupted health, surrounded by a select
circle of the royal household. His serene highness Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar, who is pursuing his military studies
at Sandhurst. has arrived on a visit to his royal relative. The
Dowager Lady Clinton has succeeded Viscountess Barring-
ton as latly in waiting on her majesty. Sir Horace Seymour
and Sir David Davis are staying at Sudbury Hall.
ARSENIC IN THE HUMAN Bony.—The Gazette des
Flopitaux contains a very important letter from M. Co-
nerbe, of Verteuil, in the Gironde, in which be states that
the discovery of arsenic in all human bodies was originally
made by him, and not by M. Orfila ; and that the latter has
acknowledged it. He also shows that a considerable quan-
tity of arseniate of calcium exists in the bones, and also,
that the more the body becomes putrid, the more easily is
the arsenic extracted from the fleshy and muscular parts of
a body. He was one of the physicians who declared that M.
Laffarge was not poisoned ; and he now adduces the start-
ling fact, which M. Orfila has admitted since the conclusion
of the trial, that the peroxide of iron given to M. Laffarge
as an antidote to the arsenic he was supposed to have taken,
did itself contain arsenic at the time of its being purchased ;
and that all peroxide does so, more or less. He infers that
M. Ortila's proceedings at Tulle, in the case of Madame La-
farge, were pure charlatanerie ; and he shows that the con-
clusions of this chemist and the others, as to the arsenic in
M. Laffarge's body having been given him, are perfectly
erroneous, the arsenic being no more than what is in every
body naturally.—Literary Gazette.

SINGULAR OPERATION UPON AN Ox.--About 12 months
since, a man at work on the farm of Mr. Pinchin, of Over-
ton, threw a paddle at an ox which was working in the field,
and nearly severed its tail. The wound was dressed, and
about a fortnight after the accident Mr. Jacob Ballinger, a
farrier living at Leekhampton was called in, and found that
mortification had ensued up the loins, beyond the hip bones.
He succeeded, despite the predictions of the " faculty" in
stopping the mortification, and removing the tail, and the
four following joints of the spine ! The animal recovered,
was fatted up, and killed, and made, says the owner, " a
famous piece of beef." The joints arc in the possession of
Mr. Kitsell, druggist, of Cheltenham.—Gloucester Chronicle.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND.—The children of
the Sovereigns of England (says Chamberlayne) are called
the sons and daughters of England, because all the subjects
of England have a special interest in them. The eldest son
is born Duke of Cornwall, and as to that duchy, and all the
lands, honours, rents, and other revenues belonging there-
unto, he is upon his birth-day presumed, and by law taken
to be, of full age. He is afterwards created Prince of Wales,
and the investiture was formerly. performed by imposition of
a cap of state and coronet on his head, as a token of princi-
pality, and putting into his hand a verge of gold, the emblem
of government, and a ring of gold on his linger, to intimate
that he must be " husband to his country and father to her
children." From the day of his birth he is commonly styled
Prince of Wales, and numerous other titles are usually be-
stowed upon him by letters patent. Edward 11. was the first
English prince who bore the dignity of Prince of Wales, and
he was born in Carnarvon Castle, April 25, 1284.
THE NEWCASTLE MURDER.—It will be recollected by our
readers, that Fowles, the man now in our county gaol charged
with the wilful murder of Martha Keeling, made a statement
implicating a travelling tiddler from Manchester, in the hor-
rid transaction. The police both of Newcastle and Manches-
ter, have since the period of Fowler's apprehension been on
the look out, as some other facts connected with the case
required clearing up. On Saturday last, Inspector Cock rain,
of the C division, Manchester police, apprehended the sus-
pected party, and immediately communicated the fact to the
Newcastle police, but unluckily, the letter did not conic t 4.)
hand until 'lO o'clock on Monday last. Mr. Cotterili, the
chief police officer, under the direction of the mayor, and ma-
gistrates, proceeded by the one o'clock train to Manchester ;
but, on his arrival, found that the tiddler had been discharged,
in consequence of no reply having been sent from Newcastle
respecting him, the magistrates acting on the supposition
that the letter despatched on Saturday would reach that town
on Sunday. From inquiries made in the proper quarters, it
appears that a letter posted at Manchester on the evening of
yregulations,til e

and returns at noon on Sunday. There
being, however, no delivery on that day after noon, will ac-
count for the delay of the letter in question. The present
case must, we think, completely prove that such a regulation
is very injurious to the public interests, and ought forthwith
to be altered.—Stafordshire Gazette.
CHASE EXTRAORDINARY,-011 Tuesday week, the Bar-
low harriers threw off at Dronfield Hill Top, and shortly af-
terwards found a hare, which run several rings thereabouts,
and then started for Cowley, closely pursued by the pack,
two hounds keeping her in view on the road. Puss, at length,
being sorely hampered, looked out for a place of refuge ; and
the door of William Thorpe's cottage being open, in she
rushed, hoping thus to elude her pursuers. The two hounds,
however, were not to be baffled thus ; but, before the "
site had of coma, te missus clashed to the
door. Puss scampered
about in every direction, and so did
the hounds, upsetting the chairs and tables, and playing the
very deuce with the crockery. After performing wonderful
things in this way, to the dismay of the mistress of the man-
sion, puss bolted up stairs, to the sleeping apartments ; and,
of :course, after her went her remorseless pursuers. The
scene which had taken place below stairs Was reacted above,
where utensils of every description were upset and smashed
to pieces ; but after a world of shuffling, and doubling, and
yelling, and squashing, and smashing, escape being impossi-
ble, puss _ _ _

" Gurgled in death, 'mid the groans of the foe."
All this time, the rest of the pack, were besieging the house.
endeavouring to get in at the windows, several panes in which
they broke ; but, notwithstanding all their eflorts, they wer
not in at the death.—Derbyshire Chronicle.

ACCOUCIIMENT OF
BIRTH OF A PRINCE

THE QUEEN

8 ROYAL

LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY

Buckingham Palace, November 21,
This afternoon, at ten minutes before two, the Queen was
happily delivered of a Princess. His Royal Highness Prince
Albert, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, several
Lords of 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 Tower guns ; and,
the privy council being assembled as soon as possible there-
upon, at the council-chamber, Whitehall, it was ordered that
a form of thanksgiving for the Queen's safe delivery of a
Princess be prepared by his Grace the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, to be used in all churches and chapels throughout
England and Wales, and the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed,
on Sunday, the 29th of November, or the Sunday after the
respective ministers shall receive the same.

Her Majesty and the young
doing well.

ONE O'CLOCK

Princess are, God be praised

(From the Standard.)
—The greatest possible interest prevailed at

the west end of the town yesterday, in consequence of its
being positively stated that her Majesty was hourly expected
to give birth to an heir to the throne of these realms. We,
consequently, have used every possible exertion to obtain any
intelligence, however trivial, on so important and interesting
an event, but the most profound silence reigns at the palace.

Lion on the subject, or to answer any inquiry, from whatever
quarter it may come. We are, however, able, from sources

y, to state

on winch we can r(
rather poorly last night about nine o'clock, but nothing

rious was apprehended until about six o'clock this morning,
when her Majesty's medical attendants were all summoned
to Buckingham Palace. Shortly after that hour, the Lord
Chancellor, Lord Melbourne, and other great officers of state
and the household arrived, and a privy council was imme-
diately held in a room adjoining her Majesty's, and which
council is now sitting. The Archbishop of Canterbury and
the Bishop of London arrived at the palace at nine o'clock
this morning, and still remain there. Messengers from most
of the public offices are also in attendance.

From a second edition of the Standard.)

The following official bulletin was issued during the after
noon, a copy of which was forwarded to the Lord Mayor
" Buckingham Palace, Nov. 21, 1840.
Quarter-past Three o'clock.
" The Queen was safely delivered of a Princess this after
noon at ten minutes before two o'clock.

" Her Majesty and the royal infant are both doinse well.
(Signed) " JAMES CLARK, M.D.
CHARLES LococK, M.D.
ROBERT FERGUSON, M.D,

R. BLAGDEN."
Immediately after the birth of the young Princess, sum-
monses were issued for holding a Privy Council at the Coun-
cil-office at four o'clock. The Council sat nearly an hour,
and was attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the
Lord Chancellor, Viscount Melbourne, Lord John Russell,
the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, and several
other Privy Councillors.

At the Council, we understand, the form of prayer for her
Majesty's safe delivery was agreed upon.
Up to six o'clock her Majesty and the royal infant (we are
informed) were going on very favourably. The Princess, it
is said, is a fine healthy child.
The park guns were not fired this afternoon, it being ima-
gined that the noise might disturb her Majesty. The bells
of St. Margaret's Church and the other churches in the me-
tropolis communicated the happy event by ringing merry
peals during the evening.
It is expected that a general illumination will take place on
Monday.

The latest accounts state, that her Majesty and the royal
infant are going on well. _ _

No ()the; bulletin is expected to be issued this evening

(From the Morning Herald of yesterday.)

We hail the pleasing duty of announcing, in asecond edi-
tion of Saturday's Herald, the important fact that her majesty
had been safely delivered of a daughter. The following are
the details, as far as they have transpired, of this highly in-
teresting event :

(From the Court Newsman,)

Her majesty was taken unwell at an early hour on Satur-
day morning, and the medical gentlemen were in consequence
summoned to Buckingham Palace.

The Duchess of Kea was sent for at half past eight o'clock
by his royal highness Prince Albert. Her royal highness im-
mediately went to the palace, and remained with her majesty
throughout the day until six o'clock in the evening.
Sir James Clark left the palace to give the requisite infor-
mation to Lord Melbourne. The noble viscount and the
Lord Chancellor arrived at the palace before ten o'clock.
Summonses were sent to the principal cabinet ministers and
the great officers of state in town, and expresses were for-
warded to the Marquis of Lansdowne, lord president of the
council, at his seat, Bowood Park, Wilts, and to the Earl of
Clarendon, lord privy seal, at Watford.

Some of the cabinet ministers and great officers of state
arrived before 12 o'clock, and between 12 and 1 o'clock the
Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London arrived
at the palace.

Her majesty was safely delivered of a princess at 10 minutes
before two o'clock p.m. Their royal highnesses Prince Al-
bert and the Duchess of Kent were in the room at the time,
together with Sir James Clark, Dr. Locock, Dr. Ferguson,
and Mr. Blagden, the medical attendants on her majesty.
In an adjoining room, the door being open, were the follow
ing privy councillors :—His Grace the Archbishop of Can-
terbury, the Lord Bishop of London, the Lord High Chan-
cellor ; Viscount Melbourne, first lord of the treasnry ; the
Earl of Erroll, lord steward of the household ; Viscount
Palmerston, secretary of state for foreign affairs; Lord John
Russell, secretary of state for the colonies ; and the Earl of
Albemarle, master of the horse.

In an ante-room were the Countess of Sandwich, lady of
the bed-chamber in waiting; Lord Byron, lord in waiting;
Col. the Hon. Henry Cavendish (clerk-marshall), equerry
in waiting ; Sir Frederick Stovin, groom in waiting ; Col.
Wylde, equerry to Prince Albert ; and Captain Seymour,
groom in waiting on Prince Albert.
The infant Princess having been brought into the room
the ministers and great officers of state were assembled,
their lordships took their departure from the palace directly
afterwards.

Information of the auspicious event was despatched by a
messenger to her majesty the Queen Dowager, at Sudbury
Hall, and one of the equerries in waiting conveyed the joy-
ful intelligence to the royal family in town.

The Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia came
quickly to learn the state of her Majesty and the royal in-
fant • and the Duke of Cambridge, on his arrival in town in
the afternoon, from a visit to the Queen Dowager at Sud-
bury Hall, went immediately to the palace, and had an inter-
view his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Duke of
Sussex sent more than once to learn the state of his august
niece and the infant princess.
The Earl of Belfast, vice-chamberlain of her Majesty's
household, attended at the palace in the afternoon. The
Lord Mayor also arrived to make his personal inquiries after
her Majesty. _

Shortly before four o'clock, Prince Albert, attended by
Lord Robert Grosvenor and the Hon. Col. Cavendish, left
the palace to attend a Privy Council.
The Council was held in the Council Chamber, Whitehall,
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert took his seat at the
head of the council table, having immediately on his right his
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. The members of the
Privy Council present were—
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the
Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Clarendon, lord privy seal ;
Viscount Melbourne, first lord of the treasury ; the Marquis
of Normanby, secretary of state for the home department ;
the Earl of Erroll, lord steward ; Earl of Albemarle, master
of the horse ; Viscount Duncannon, chief commissioner of
woods and forests ; Lord John Russell, secretary of state for
the colonies ; Right Hon. H. Labouchere, president of the
board of trade ; Right Hon. Thomas Babington Macaulay,
secretary at war ; and Lord Robert Grosvenor, groom of the
stole to Prince Albert.

The Hon. William Bathurst was the clerk of the council in
waiting.

At the council it was ordered that a form of thanksgiving
for the Queen's safe delivery of a princess, should be pre-
pared by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, for Eng-
land and Wales.

The council broke up at half-past four o'clock, and Prince
Albert returned to the Palace, attended by Lord Robert
Grosvenor and the Hon. Col. Cavendish.
The Duchess of Kent left the palace in the early part of
the evening, but returned about nine o'clock.
Yesterday forenoon the following bulletin was issued :
" Buckingham Palace,
Nov. 22, 1810, 10 o'clock, a.m.
" The Queen has passed an excellent night. Her Majesty
and the infant princess are going on favourably in every re-
spect. " JAMES CLARK, M.D_
CHARLES LOCOCK, M.D.
ROBERT FERGUSON, M.D.,
RICHARD BLAGDEN."
The Marquis of Lansdowne, lord president of the council,
arrived at the palace in his travelling carriage and four, yes_
terday morning, from Bowood Park. The Earl of Uxbridge,
lord chamberlain of her Majesty's household, also attended
at the palace yesterday forenoon.
The Duchess of Gloucester paid a visit in the middle of the
presented to her royal day, when the infant princess was

highness.

The Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Sheriffs of London
and Middlesex, arrived in the early part of the afternoon, the
former, and the (acting) Lady Mayoress, alighted at the
palace, and were received by the gentlemen of the household.
in waiting.

The Duchess of Kent, after attending Divine service in the
Chapel Royal, St. James's, in the morning, went to the
palace. The Duke of Sussex paid a visit to his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, in the afternoon.

The nobility and gentry thronged to the palace in the
course of the afternoon to make their dutiful inquiries after
the state of her Majesty and the infant princess. Among
those ladies who entered their name on her Majesty's list,
were the Countess Bjornstjerna, the lady of the Swedish mi-
nister ; Mrs. Stevenson, the lady of the American minister ;
Madame Dedel, the lady of the Netherlands minister
Madame Van de 'Weyer, the lady of the Belgian minister
Baroness de Cetto, the lady of the Bavarian minister ; Ma-
dame Mavrocordato, the lady of the Grecian minister; Ma-
dame Marquese Lisboa, the lady of the Brazilian chargé
d'atfaires ; Duchess of Cannizzaro ; Marchionesses of Wel-
lesley, Winchester, and Exeter; Countesses of Erroll, Albe-
marle, Tinkerville, Belfast, Cadogan, and Dowager Sandwich;
Viscountesses Palmerston, and Dowager Torrington ; Ladies
Wheatley7 Ida Hay, A. Hay, Denman, Cottenham, Fanny
Cowper, Dowager Rivers, E. Gore, Elizabeth Hope Vere,
and Nugent ; Mistresses T. Erskine, Thesiger,. G. E. Anson,
Ashley, Cooper, and Leicester Stanhope ; Misses Quentin,
Wheatley, B. Pepys, Pitt, Lister, and Cavendish.
The whole of the corps diplomatique and the noblemen
and gentlemen entered their names in Prince Albert's book.
Throughout the day and evening her Majesty and the
infant princess were going on favourably.

(From a Sunday Paper.)
Her Majesty's principal medical attendants, Sir James
Clark and Dr. Charles Loeock, were of late constant in
their attendance at Windsor Castle, and within the last fort-
night were most anxious that her Majesty should return to
Buckingham Palace. This removal was effected on Friday
week, when her Majesty arrived in town in perfect health
and excellent spirts. Almost every day since, up to Thurs-
day last, her Majesty has taken an airing in a pony phaeton
in the parks, accompanied by Prince Albert, and in the
evening presided at her usual select dinner parties. On
Friday her Majesty and Prince Albert walked in the garden
of the palace, and again did her Majesty take her seat at the
dinner-table, and continued apparently in her usual health till
11 o'clock, when she retired to rest, no suspicion being then
entertained of the near approach of those sufferings, which
providentially have terminated in a manner so satisfactory
to every branch of her august family, as well as to the delight
of her loyal and devoted subjects. At two o'clock yester-
day morning the first symptoms of uneasiness were indi-
cated, and at four her Majesty with great firmness directed
that her attendants should be summoned : among these was
Mrs. Lilly, who, we have heard, was formerly nurse to the
Duchess of Sutherland, and whose experience at once fore-
warned her of the propriety of immediately summoning her
Majesty's professional advisers. Sir James Clarke, Dr. Lo-
cock, Mr. R. Ferguson, and Mr. R. Blagden wereinstantly
sent for, and were quickly on the spot. No doubt now ex-
isted that her Majesty was in labour, although certainly
some days sooner than had been anticipated, as, the impres-
sion was that she would have remained convalescent till
early in December. Such preparations as the suddenness of

witijput 4

duct via,

guished by the most affectionate solicitude, combined with
firmness, the Hon. W. Murray, the comptroller of the house-
hold, roused the inmates of the palace, and special messen-
gers were despatched to her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London,
the Lord Chancellor, Lord Melbourne, Lord Palmerston,
Lord Erroll, Lord Albemarle, Lord John Russell, and other
privy councillors, whose constitutional duty it was to be pre-
sent at the birth of an heir to the throne. A messenger was
also despatched to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex.
Her Majesty's august parent was early at the palace, and in
the course of the morning was followed by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Bishop of London, and the other nobleman
whose names we have mentioned. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex, it is stated, was unable to attend, from in-
disposition. The Earl of Albemarle, having to come from
the stud-house at Hampton-court, did not arrive till late in
the day, but previous to the birth of the infant, which the
medical attendrgtts announced was in favourable progress.

In her Majesty's chamber were the Duchess of Kent, Prince
Albert, and the medical men, with Mrs. Lilly and some of
the ladies of the bedchamber; while in an adjoining apart-
ment, the door of which was open, were the other distinguished
- was

Ina.. ...is mentioned. As the day advanced the palace
kept in perfect quietness, while all noise from without,
from the passing of bands or otherwise, was interdicted.
From those who had the best means of information, we learn
that her Majesty evinced a firmness and composure almost
incredible, at intervals exhibiting a cheerfulness and patient
submission to her sufr---- all -

erings, in r,. respects consistent with
the well-known attributes of her character. The near ap-
proach of that interesting moment which was to give to these

realms an heir to the throne, at last arrived, and precisely at
ten minutes before two o'clock Mrs. Lilly entered the room
where the Privy Councillors were assembled, with the " young
stranger," a beautiful, plump, and healthful princess, wrap-
ped in flannel, in her arms. She was attended by Sir James
Clark, who announced the fact of its being a female. Her
royal highness was for a moment laid upon the table for the
observation of the assembled authorities ; but the loud
tones in which she indicated her displeasure at such an ex-
posure, while they proved the soundness of her lungs and
the maturity of her frame, rendered it advisable that she

should be returned to her chamber, to receive her first at-
tire. His Royal Highness Prince Albert having received
the congratulations of all present, conveyed the grati-
fying intelligence that her Majesty was, in all respects,
as well as could be expected ; and " the officials" retired, to
spread the happy news throughout the metropolis, and to
prepare to meet in Whitehall, whither the Privy Council
were forthwith summoned to meet at four o'clock, to give
the usual directions for announcing to the nation, as well as
to foreign states, an event of such deep and gratifying im-
portance. Messengers were immediately despatched to every
branch of the royal family in town ; and soon after three
o'clock the following bulletin was exhibited at the principal
entrance of the palace :

Buckingham Palace, Nov. 21, 1810

. " The Queen was safely delivered of a irincess, this• after-
noon at ten minutes. before two o'clock. Her Majesty and
the royal infant are doing well.
(Signed) "JAMES CLARK, M.D.
" CHARLES LOCOCK, M.D.
" ROBERT FERGUSON.
" R. BLAGDEN."

At four o'clock the Privy Council assembled at Whitehall,
and was attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The
usual constitutional forms were observed, and, under the
provisions of the act of last session, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert assumed his office of Regent until her Ma-
jesty's convalescence shall have been declared. At the
Foreign and the other offices directions were given for con-
veying the intelligence with all possible despatch, not only to
the foreign courts, but to all parts of the kingdom. The
Tower guns were fired, and at the Privy Council it was or-
dered that a form of thanksgiving for the Queen's safe de-
livery of a princess should be prepared by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, to be read in all the churches and chapels
throughout the kingdom.

The intelligence her Majesty's safe accouchement and
the birth of a Princess Royal spread like wildfire through the
metropolis, and the crowd, which for an hour or two before
had assembled round the gates of the palace, was soon aug-
mented by the numbers who came running from all directions
to ascertain the fact.

During the afternoon the bells of the royal parishes of St.
Martin-in-the-Fields, St. Margaret, Westminster, and those
of St. Clement Danes, St. Giles-in-the-Fields, and St. Dun-
stan-in-the-West, with St. Bride's, and other churches in
the metropolis, rang merry peals. At Kensington, the birth-
place of the Queen, within ten minutes after the arrival of
a messengei at the apartments of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex, in Kensington Palace, with the gratifying
intelligence, the news got circulated through the town, and
within an hour after the occurrence, the bells of the old
church, which were the first to welcome the birth of the royal
mother, were pealing forth their joyous strains on the occa-
sion of the birth of hr illustrious daughter.
At most of the club-houses, both at the West-end and in
the City, the healths of her Majesty and the Princess Royal
were drunk by the members present with the greatest enthu-
siasm.

At the Adelphi, the Olympic, and the Princess's Theatres,
in the evening, the auspicious event was noticed, and the
national anthem was both played and sung, with cries of
`.' God save the Queen," and enthusiatic applause.
