LONDON, Nov. 18th.
AccouchaEsr OF HER MAJEsry--BIRrH OF
a PRiNcS The anxiously expected event has
taken place at last, her Majesty having on
Tuesday, the 9Th Of November, given birth to
q Prince.
i. Ii may be gathered from all the accounts that
her Majesty makes far less fuss about herself
than others make about her, and as far as can
be judged, no peasants wife was ever less
troubled with whims and fancies. She walked
with her husband in the palace gardens on
Monday evening, did not give any one any trou-
bic until seven o'clock cn Tuesday morning,
10 the British dominons.
As an instance, too, of her frmness and free
dom from aifcctaion, It may be mentioned, that
shortly after her accouchment, she remarked
that she mad not heard the guns OF the Tower
fire salute to welcome the young Prince, and
being told that the omission arose from the fear
of disturbing her, she replied they "would not
disturb her, and so the guns were fired forth
with.
II formerly used to be the custom for the Of
ficcrs o! the state TO be huddled into the corner
Of the room where the birth took place, for the
purpose of seeing that no changeing was sub
sttuted for the "true prince. Modern refine.
mcnt, however, has done away with this ridc-
ulous custom, and those important personagcs
now wait in the antc-chamber. On the late
occa aston only the father, the doctor, and the
nurse were present. The young stranger is
said to be fine, stout little fellow. He is born
Duke of Cornwall, and, as Duke, comes imne-
diately into possession Of revenues to the a.
mount of Gl4,OO0! He is afterwards created
prince of Wales" and "Earl of Chester"
The origin of the title Of Prince Of Wales is
rather dubious, though the popular account is,
that ii arose from the circumstance of Edward
the First (known in his day as Long
shnnks," from the length of his legs having
played off a successful trick upon the rebel.
lious Welsh.
After having conquered the country, he sent
for Qneen Eleanor, who was encente, to be
confined ct Carnaevon Castle, in order that he
might be able to present the sturdy North Bri-
tons with native prince. After summonng
her refractory chiefs, ho asked them whether
they would be content with prince born in the
country, 'free from all blemish upon his honor,
and who could not speak a word Of English
ant, on their applying in the affirmative, the
baby was produced, and created Prince OF
Wales. His motto is "lch Diem" q serve
though others contend strenuosly for the words
used by the polite Edward, when he presented
his son to the Welsh, "Ich dyur." (This is
your man)
Her Majesty is the first Queen reigning IN
her own right who has given birth to Prince
of Wales. Mary, Elizabeth, and Anne not hav

The Sagacity Of the Mammoth Elephant,
(who IS attached TO the Managcre and Circus)
has displayed itself during his late visit to Rich
mond and Petersburg. Whilst the calvacade

the Elephant quietly placed his foot upon It's

diately descended to the river, for the purpose
of swimming across. On sign, however,
from his rider, he stopped-took him up with
his proboscis, placed him on his neck, and then

was chained with leg to a post, in Powells

as the flames began to spread, the animal find
ing his quarters most uncomfortable, eXertcd
his enormous strength, pulled up the post which
had been rammed down in very hard ground
