A London correspondent thus de 4
scribes the appearance Of the Princess
Roval at the drawing room:
Il was scarcely prepared to behold
her a fine grown. handsome woman,
taller by compile Of inches than her
mother, and carrying herself with the
ease and grace Of womanhood. Her
face is perfectly lovely. The regular
itv Of her features is perfect. Her
eyes are large and tnll of intelligence,
imparting 10 her face that sort OF
merry aspect which indicates good
humor. The nose and mouth are
delicately and exquisitely formed, the
latter giving the effect of great sweet
ness. The princess is more like her
father than her mother. She is like
the Queen in nothing but the nose
In all other respects she is female
image of her father. Her Majesty
begins to wear Il matronly aspect
becomes slightly stout too, and looks
more and more like the Duchess Of
Kent. Prince Albert's likeness to
the portraits of the Gar Nicholas is
remarkable and striking, and it has
become more observable since he be-
came bald.

procession at Washington on Saturday

HOW SHIPS ARE NAMED.

a. HOW SHlfo oAhEsNAMED. "A
In the United States Navy, since
the last war the following rules have
been Observed in naming vessels
All the names of the States, or rivers,
as the case may be, are pntina wheel,
which Is turned. and one namr is
drawn out at random, which gis the
name OF a vessel to be launched
Ships Of the line are named after the
States. For instance, the Ohio, North
Carolina. Pennsylvania, &C., all
mount seyenty-ionr guns. Frigates
are named after American riyers-the.
Columbia, Raritan, Cumberland. st.
Lawrence. Merrimac, Sabine, Poto-
mac. &c When you see the name of
a river applied to a government vessel,
it is safe to oeonclude that she viii not
carry more than thirty six or forty
guns. Sloops Of war are called after
State capitals and other cities. Capt.
Ingraham's st. Louis, the Inflated
Albany, the yandalia, the Plymouth,
the jamestown, all belongto thisyclass.
Brigs may he known in point BY. the
name of some noted naval commander
who has died in the service. The
Decatur, Bainbridge, Perry, &c
Revenue cutters are named aftermem-
bers of the-C Cabinet thus We have
had the Cabinet, the Walter Forward,
the William VI. Meredith, the Viii
liam IL. Graham. the J. G. Dobbin,
and probably now have a William l..
Marcy. a James Guthrie, &c. As
many ofthe vessels in the navy were
built previous to the adoption Of the
rule. there are oi course, some excep-
tions to it. The Collins steamers are
named after oceans, and the Cnnards
after countries. Bearing the rule in
mind, one can very easily recollect to
which line the Baltic, Atlantic Adriat-
ic, Asia, Africa, Canada, or America
respectively belong. ~
ALL SORTS OF MISps.--There is Il
strong disposition in men of opposite
minds to despise each other. A grave
man cannot conceive what is the use
of wit in society; a person who takes
a strong common sense view ofthe sub
iect, is for pushing ont by the head
and shoulders an ingenious theorist.
who catches at the slightest and faint
est analogies: and another man, who
scents the ridiculous from afar, will
hold no commerce with him who tests
exquisitely the fine tcelings of the
heart, and j. alive 70 nothing else:
whereas talent IS talent, and mind is
mind. in al If: branches. Wit gives
to life enc ofits best fiavors: common
sense leads to immediate action, and
gives to society IFS daily motion: large
and comprehensive views cause its
annualrolation: ridicule chastises folly
and impndence. and keeps men in
