THE COMMERCIAL GREATNESS OF ENGLAND.—III
consequence of the extension of our possessions in the
East Indies, and the opening of the various ports in the
Chinese Seas, a very large supply of shipping, for the
export of various commodities has been advertised to be
ready to start for their respective foreign ports in the course
of the ensuing month. The number of ships announced
to leave the various docks adjoining the river Thames and
Gravesend, for Madras, Calcutta, Bombay, Australia,
China, Hong-Kong, and other parts of the east, amounts
to above 60, whose tonnage varies, each vessel from 300 to
1000 and upwards. Of these, one firm, whose establish-
ment is at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, furnishes nine vessels
(five of them being above 1,000 tons each, and which col-
lectively amount to 7,150 tons). Another firm in London
sends out five ships (of these three carry above 1,000 tons,
and the five collectively 4,850 tons).
THE BIRTH OF THE PRINCESS VICTORIA.—That was
a bright day to the illustrious parents of our young and,
beloved monarch when her birth was announced to a wait-
ing and anxious nation. The duke wept for joy, and the
fact that the infant was a daughter, and not a son, did not
appear in the least to diminish from the general rejoicing.
The country appeared to be relieved by the event from a
considerable pressure of anxiety, for Prince George of
Cumberland was not born till three days afterwards, and
Prince George of Cambridge was thp then only issue of the
royal marriages of 1818. The convalescence of the Duchess
of Kent was rapid, the beauty and symmetry of the infant
princess were spoken of with great admiration by all who
surrounded her person, and the duke her father attended
the drawing-room of the Prince Regent in July, dined with
his royal brother on the next day, and received the most
sincere congratulations. On that occasion the Prince Re-
gent threw off all reserve, spoke with much feeling and
brotherly affection of the prospects of the Duke of Sussex,
and, with that sort of instinctive knowledge he seemed to
possess on some subjects, predicted that his niece Victoria
would one day ascend the throne of her ancestors.—Fra-
ser's Magazine.

THE ADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN LONDON.—lmagin.e
a populous nation—say a million and a half of human
beings ; suppose them scattered over a territory as large
as Scotland ; let the conveniences, and wants, physical
and intellectual, be confined mainly to the cities and towns,
to the rural seats of the nobility and gentry ; let it be
necessary that you should be continually sending to Edin-
burgh or Glasgow for whatever you require beyond the
mere sustenance of animal life, and that you should
repair thither at great fatigue, expense, and loss of time
for medical aid, education, recreation, intellectual con-
verse, and refined enjoyment. On the other hand, sup-
pose this diffused population concentrated in a space of
thirty miles square, upon the banks of a fine river.
Imagine all the cities, towns, villages, and hamlets hud-
dled together into one mighty mass ; its wealth, fashion,
and splendour, figuring away at the outskirts, and its
squalidity, hunger, misery and rags, skulking in lanes
and alleys in the middle. Picture to yourself all the
conveniences, and acquirements, and refinements of a
rational creature, and everything in addition that makes
the paradise of fools, contained within a magic circle,
whose diameter is represented by a sixpenny drive in an
omnibus ; imagine everything you can possibly want, or
money can purchase, to be had next door but two. or over
the way, or first shop round the corner; imagine every
necessary and luxury of life adapted to every pocket, so
that the ambassador and artizan, the labourer and the
lord, may partake at different rates of the same enjoy-
ment, and you have some idea of the advantages of living
in London. You enjoy in London security to a high
degree; you are protected not merely by the proximity
of multitudes on all sides, but you are secured still fur-
ther by the systematic surveillance of the authorities,
and the ready submission accorded to the officers of the
law. This, it is true, you enjoy in all great cities. more
or less ; but, perhaps, nowhere is the submission to law
more complete than here; nowhere are offenders against
person or property more easily secured and punished.
For you, arc miles of street brilliantly lighted, so that
you can pursue in safety the midnight way; for you,
thousands of vehicles fly from one corner of the far ex-
tending town, emulous to convey you from one end of
London to another for sixpence ; for you, the shops dis-
play profusely their most costly and expensive wares; for
your amusement and instruction, talent of every kind is
imported from every clime; for you, Savoyards grind
music in the streets, and Italians at the Opera; for you
Englishmen, Irishmen, and Scotehmen, conduct maga-
zines and reviews, and pen articles in the newspapers;
you get the fruits of the labours of hundreds, at your own
home, or if you are homeless, seated in your coffee-house,
over a three-halfpenny cup of tea, and a pennywortk
bread and butter.—Bentley's Miscellany.
