The Loadon Lancet, the leading medical
'authori,y in England, has the following
account of the recent event in the royal
family: 'g'as ast
"The almost romantic incidents which
surrounded the birth of the infant prince
just born to the royal line of Eugland have
naturally given rise to even more than the
ordinary loyal interest which such an event
! could not, pnderany circumstances, fail to
excite throughout the country. All the
particulars have been chronicled with mi
nuteness and with general accuracy. al
though some small errors have been made.
in the anxiety to present all those pleas
ant domestic details which every womau's
heart in England would rejoice toikno ow.

fond and affeCtionate good wishes, The
delivery of her Royal Highness was not
altogether so sudden and without premon.

ported, nor is there any reason to suppose
that it was prematureIy FASTENED by her
visit to the ice. Slight symptoms existed
10 the earlier part OF The day, which some
OF the more Eexperieuced of the ladies
around the Prihcsss aLttibated to what
proVed.later to be the true cause. But her
Royal Highness, equally with the Prince,
has the strongest dislike to what, iu ordi-
nary phrase, is called making FUSS and
on this occasion preferred to pass over
| these matters as of no moment.

o'clock the symptoms .RsFs more urgent.

ness. Presently the aspect of affairs be.
came uumistakable. A second Telegram
was then dispatched for DR.. Fare, ofHert-
ford street, who had been appointed ac.
eOuchsur tO.her Royal Highuess. Meantime,
however, it was evident that more imme.
dtate aid was required, and Mr. Henry
Brown, OF Windsor, was summoned, and
had the happiness of bringing the infant
prince into the world. Mr.. Brown is a
general practitionerofco considerable local re-
pute, and enjoys the confidence of the roysl
family, with whom he has been habitually
brought into professional relations. The
tortuitous circumstance which placed in
the hands of general practitioner the.
honor OF officiating on this Interesting
occasion will not be devoid of gratifying
reflections TO the important aud hard.
working body of men who constitute the
general practitioners of Great Britain.
whose ability aud excellent qualities are
well represented in Mr.. Brown, and have
always been greatly appreciated by the
members of the Royal household.

about nine p. NJ Immediately after the
infant was born, and DIT. Arthur Fare,
who had come down by special train
l
rived afterwards. All the arrangements
had been mdde,Gs is known for the delivery
to have taken. place at the beginning Of
March, at Marlborough House; as it was,
there was not anything in readiness, nor
was any nurse present, aud the maternal
experience of the Countess of ,Nacciesfield
was most useful. DR.. Fare has remained
at Frogmore in continuous attendance
throughout the week. 5
