The accouchmen, which lately tool

such cases, caused great talk and OK
citemen, in the gossipping, and news
paper worlds. Some facts have beer
elected in relation to this matter which
may not be- uninteres.ing to some o
cor readers. 1t seems that contrary &c
all precedent, the event took place a
Windsor. Heretofore London has
been the place, but .'li.tle Vic" goes in
fos change and novelty. In times gone
by. all the officers Of State were in the
room when royal youth made its ap'
pearance. but, of late, they have been
iii the ante-room and at the last affair,
they were in London, some twenty
miles distant. 1t is stated that the &C.
couchment of the Queens Of France
was kind Of general levee when the
palace doors were thrown open and the
mob entered and visited it as though
they were going to a theatre or an ex-
hibi.ion. When Queen An,ionette was
confined the first time, the room was
so crowded. and by the lowest class,
that her life was endangered in conse.
quence Of the state Of the apartment
But the Queen Of modern days does
things. or has Them done to suit herself,
irrespective Of precedent. fashion, or
any thing else, save decorum and her
own will. Consequently more priva-
cy has been the result. 1t is said that
on the morning Of the day previous to
tho event her majesty took her usual
walk and in the evening her accustom-
ed ride and the next morning was sta
ken ill' and a. eight in the evening
was "as well as could be expected"
The ministers of state were summon
ca forthwith and in short time made
their appearance from London. Three
different trains brought them over the
rail road. The first arrived in Is min
utes, the distance being 1871 miles,
which is at the rate Of more than so
miles per hour. The second was ra.h.
er slower-and the third faster, being
but III minutes on the sroute. The
return trains went still faster as they
occupied but Isl minutes, which is at
the rate OF more than 70 miles per
hour.
To change the subject: we rsmem-
Der to have read that when one Of the
Georges. the II. we think, was consort.
ed, that the great officers Of State and
perhaps others entered the royal nup-
tial apartment and offered their con.
gra,ula.ions and desires for pleasant
slumbers to tine royal pair who were
sitting up.in the royal couch ready to
receive them. This fashion, we be.
lieve, has ceased in England. These
Kings and Queens are great folks
Some of the above items we gather
from the letter of correspondent of
the N. Y. Evening Post.
"SWeet Chimes. How ravishing
to the senses must be such strains of
ETHEREAL sounds as described below!-
We can scarce imagine anything in
music's world that could be more de.
lgh,ful. Thus says letter writer Of
N. York:
1.-The great talk among the gossips
is the '.Bell Ringers" who came GU, a,
NibIo's last night. 1t comprises sew
en- performers. who ring forty two bells.
with which they produce strains Of
melody, the description of which would
not be believed. Suffice i, to say, tina.
with dinner bells they perform march.
es, airs. symphonies and over,ures,
with all the effect of an orchestra
strains soft as from an Aeolean harp, up
to the deep roll Of the bass drum, are
given with most startling effect"
