LAUNCH OF THE PRINCEroN.-Ths vessel was
launched on Thursday last, at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, in the presence OF a great concourse of
people, notwithstanding the drenching rain which
poured down upon them. Just before the vessel
was given to the waters, those on board assembled
at the call OF Captain Stockton around the capspp,
where the Rev. DR.. Suddards offered up to the
Throne of Grace the following prayer

Scarcely had the reverend gentleman ceased,
when sharp cracking sound was heard at the bow,
aud the noble vessel glided gracefully as swan
INTO the water, rising gently at the stern the bow
oated, and the waters bore her fairly upon their boz
! som. At this moment Lieutenant Thompson gave
the vessel her name according 10 the time honored
fashion of dashing bottle of American whiskey

The Star Spangled Banner rang out from the in
sumentso OF the band, and cheers both loud and long
were sent forth from the gathering on board, echoed
by those on Shore and mingled with the roar Of the

The anchor having been dropped, the steamboat
State Rights came TO" along side, and the visers
cambered on board, giving cheer after cheer the
steamboat passed around the noble vessel, and
moved towards the shore The huzzas for Captain
Stockton were repeated, and very hearty.

| We believe that the Hon David Henshaw, the
Secretary OF the Navy, was on board during the

OF this whole affair, we have but little to say in
addition 10 the above ample account, which we have
obtained from the Philadelphia papers. But the de
votonal exercises we must point out as a novelty on
lch occasions, though TO US it was matter OF no
surprise, for Captain Stocktons magnificent cham.

s,mptuous repast was expected from HIM on this
eventiul day. Too many Of the gentlemen Of the
black cloth ORDER are now TO be found ever ready
to purchase admission to ieastlngs and rejoicngs by
prayer-and many Of their prayers are in the same
cant terms of the conventice. We see them at
public dinners, and wherever there is any german.

novelty above mentioned did not surprize u.s.
