ACCOECIIEME\T OF HER MAJESTY.
BIRTH OF A PRINCESS.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE, May 25, I 84&.
This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the Queen was safely de-
livered of a PRINCESS.

In the room with her Majesty were his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, Dr. Locock, and Mrs. Lilly, the monthly
nurse ; and in the roan s adjoining were the other medical
attendants, Sir James Clark and Dr. Ferguson, and also•
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in
Waiting on the Queen, and the ',Ministers and Officers of
State, summoned on the occasion.

The Privy Councillo.s present were the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Duke of Bac-
clench, the Earl of l-laddington, Sir Robert Peel,
Sir James Graham, Mr. Secretary Gladstone, the Earl of
Liverpool, the Earl Delavcarr, the Earl of Jersey, the
Lord Chancellor, and the Duke of Wellington.

LONDON CORN FXCIT AN3E.—YssmanAy.
The supply of English Wheat from the near counties was
moderate this morning. Best qualities were taken at our last
week's quotations, but much of the secondary could not be dis-
posed ot, excepting at a reduction of Is. per quarter. Foreign,
either free, bonded, or f. o. b. was extremely difficult to sell.
The show of sprin,, Corn has been trifling; Barley, Beans,

and Peas sold slOwlat late prices. We obseive no iiiteration-
in the value of Oats. The millers generally agreed to reduce
the top price of Flour 4s per sack.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE

MARKET

YECTKRDAY

Fresh from our grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts to-day
were somewhat extensive, and of most excellent quality, owing
to which, and the thin attendance of buyers, the beef trade was•
in a very dull state, at barely, but at nothin4 quotable beneath,.
the prices obtained on Monday last, and at which a clearance
was not effected,

The numbers of sheep were, compared with those exhibited.
for some time past, larger and of good quality. Prime old
Downs were, however, rather scarce, and which sold at full
prices. All other breeds were a mere drug, and, in some in-
stances, the rates had a downward tendency.

The lamb trade ruled dull, at previous currencies. Crlves,
and pigs, the supplies of which were moderate, ruled heavy at
late rates.

NEW ZEALAND
we learn that the

-By the last accounts from New Zealand
'oops in the north were Fncanipeq about

iiati cut a road towards the pah tor about five miles. The force
consisted of 500 of the 50th Regiment, 100 of the 99th Regi-
ment, 80 Marines, 60 Artillery, 50 volunteers, and 220 sailors,

with two 32-pounders, one long 18-pounder, two 12-pound how-
itzers, 2 brass 6-pounders, 7 mortars, besides 1032-pounders that
were expected in the Elphinstone, which arrived at the Bay of
Islands the day before the last accounts left, having the gover-

nor on board.
Sir Francis Hastings Doyle, son of the late chairman of
the Board of Excise, and who recently held the office of
assistant solicitor of the Excise, has been appointed Recei-
ver General of the Customs, in the room of the late Sit
William Boothbv. The salary of the office has been re-
duced from £l5OO to £l2OO a year. The amount of secu-
rity required is £30,000.
AN IMPOILTANT FACT.—There is a cargo of wheat
now lying in Goole, near Hu:l. containing 977 quarters►

of the new Corn Bill would persuade us that British
farmers need fear no reduction of prices from the fre6,
introduction of foreign grain into this country.—Noe
linghantshire Guardian.

A LOYAL TOAST.—At the dinner of the Devon Agri-
cultural Society, at Exeter, on Tuesday, Sir J Ken"
naway, the chairman, in proposing " the Health of Princei
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Roy.
Family," said, " It was a toast which put him in co,;:
siderable difficulty. If he were not chairman; he'lnigur
be called to order for what the lawyers call uncertaint;
—proposing a toast which could not be strictly defined'
for it was at present impossible to say, whither they we'"
drinking the health of three, four, five, six, or segent
members. (Laughter and cheers.) It might congit
at this moment of only four, it might be five, possibi
six or seven, or more. It was veiled in the clouds 0
uncertainty, and even express trains could not define the
exact number of healthy they were drinkinz,"
POTATOES.—On Thursday the largest quantity of Potgl.
toes ever witnessed in Clonmel appeared in the market
They sold fur sd. per stone in the morning, and in tb°
evening they fell to fourpence. The fact is, that the fod.
mers have been holding up their potatoes, in the expectit
tion of a great advance in prices; but now the secret;
coming out, and they are glad to sell them at a ean,,,c
greater reduction than they have been sold at for solve
time. There is plenty of provi.ion and plenty of ernil,
merit in the coun,ry.—Tipperary Comtiltilion of Stlo,
dny. The rep,:rts from Mulling4r, Ballina, Newry.
naghan, Carlow, Cork, Limerick, Dungannon, Kilkenl4,
&c., are quite as favourable. A correspondent at Cot fi,
sv,llan. county Down, in a letter to the Newry Teleyra7) ,
says :—" I have been resident here for the last seven ,§
and during that period I have never seen the market-
well supplied with potatoes as at nrevent '
