(From the Times of yesterday.)

In the hurry and bustle of this event, and the zeal and
anxiety to give every particular respecting it, it is not to be
wondered at that in the accounts published by several of our
contemporaries many statements were made which are alto-
gether erroneous. We have, therefore, taken every care to
obtain the exact information of an event in every respect so
interesting to the public.
It is not true, then, that there was any indisposition on
the previous evening. Her Majesty had walked on the
morning of Monday in the gardens of Buckingham Palace,
and in the afternoon she took an airing in a carriage. During
dinner and in the eveninc, there was nothing more than an
extreme susceptibility of 'fatigue, but not exceeding that
manifested by her Majesty for the last fortnight or ten days.
Those who had the honour of dining with the Queen (two
noblemen of the Household, the Lady in Waiting, and the
Duchess of Kent) took their departure a little before eleven
o'clock, the Duchess of Kent leaving first.
Her Majesty, as has been her custom lately, retired at
half-past ten o'clock, with no indication whatever of her ap-
proaching accouchnuent other than what the public have
been familiar with for the last month—viz., that it must
happen in a very short time. The story, then, that there
were expresses sent to Sir Robert Peel and others on Mon-
day night, warning them of the coming event, is altogether a
mistake. .

The whole Palace remained in perfect repose until a little
after six o'clock on Tuesday morning, when the Queen ex-
perienced the first symptoms of indisposition, Dr. Locock
was immediately called, but the symptoms were not suffi-
ciently decided to induce the doctor to recommend any one
to be sent for, and things remained in this state for about an
hour. All the medical men were, however, summoned. At
half-past seven o'clock, as the indisposition seemed rather to
increase, the doctors made up their minds that the accouch-
merit would take place, and at eight o'clock the symptoms
became so decided that then, and not till then, were ex-
presseses sent off to the Duchess of Kent, Sir Robert Peel,
and the Great Officers of State, the Earl of Liverpool, Lord
Steward of the Household, was the first who arrived, closely
followed by Sir Robert Peel. They arrived at nine o'clock.
Then came Earl Delawarr, Load Chamberlain, and the Earl
of Jersey, Master of the orse.
The Duchess of Kent arrived at half-past nine. There
was then a lapse of more then half an hour, when Sir James
Graham, the Duke of Buckingham, the Marquis of Exeter,
the Lord Chancellor, the Bishop of London, and the Earl
of Aberdeen arrived, occupying the time till half-past ten
o'clock. Last of all came the Duke of Wellington, who ar-
rived a few minutes before the birth. _

Dr. Locock and Prince Albert, with the nurse, were the
only persons in the Queen's chamber, situated in the north-
west angle of the Palace. The Duchess of Kent and the
Lady-in-Waiting were in an apartment immediately adjoin-
ing, and close to where Sir James Clark and his medical col-
leagues were assembled. The ministers, privy councillors,
and great officers of state occupied one of the state rooms.
It has been stated that all these wore the Windsor uniform ;
such is not the fact; not one of them did so. The Duke of
Wellington wore the dress of Constable of the Tower, Earl
Jersey the official dress of Master of the Horse, the Earl of
Liverpool, Earl Delawarr, and the Marquis of Exeter wore
their household uniforms, and the ministers their official
dresses. . .

The birth took place at twelve minutes to eleven o'clock,
and was duly announced to the great functionaries of the
kingdom assembled, by Sir James Clark, and they were soon
afterwards gratified with a sight of the royal infant.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Wharnrliffe, Lord
President of the Council, and Lord Stanley, Secretary of
State for the Colonies, were too late, arriving at the Palace a
few minutes after the birth had taken place. It is an error
in some of the accounts which have been published which
stated that the Archbishop of Canterbury was present at the
birth. The Bishop of London was the only prelate present.
The Queen bore it remarkably well, and the young Prince
and his august mother have since been going on as well as
possible.
