The Infant British Prince Semi-0 Official At-
count al the Interesting Event.

The London Lancet, the leading medical
authority in England, has the following ac-
count of the recent event in the royal family:
= The almost romantic incidents which sur
rounded the birth of the infant prince Just
born to the royal line of England have natu-
rally given rise to even more than the ordin-g
airy loyal interest which such event could
not under any circumstances, fail to excite
throughout the country. All the particulars
have been chronicled with minuteness and
with general accuracy, although some small
errors have been made in the anxiety TO pre-
sent all those pleasant domestic details winch
every woman's heart III England would rejoice
TO know concerning TIE young mother and
the infant, around whom centre now so many
fond and affectionate good wishes The de-
livery OF her Royal Highness was not alto

warnings az has been currently reported, nor
Is there any reason To suppose that it was
prematurely fastened by her visit TO the ice.
Slight symptoms existed in the earlier part of
the DAY, which some of the more experienced
OF the ladies around the Princess attributed
to what proved later TO be the true cause.
But Her Royal Highness, equally with the
Prince, has the strongest dislike 10 what, In
ordinary phase, Is called making fuss, and
on this occasion preferred to pass over these
matters as of no moment

Presently the aspect OF affairs became unmis-
taxable. A second telegram Was then dis

the infant prince into the world. Mr.. Brown
is a general practitioner of considerable local
repute, and enjoys the confidence of the royal
family, with whom he has been habitually
brought into professional relations. The for
tultous circumstance which placed in the
hands of a general practitioner the honor of
officiating on this interesting occasion will
not be devoid of gratifying reflections to the
important and Woodworking body of men
who constitute the general practitioners OF
Great Britain, whose abilities and excellent
qualities are well represented in Mr. Brown,
and have always been greatly appreciated 10y

DR.. Seveking reache Frogmore at about
9 o'clock in the evening, Immediately after
the infant was born, and DR.. Arthur Fare
who had come down by a special train in
stantly on receiving his summons, arrived
afterwards. All the arrangements had been
made, 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, and the maternal experience of the
Countess of Macclesfeld was most useful
DR. Fare has remained at Frogmore in con
tinuous attendance throughout the week
The health of the Princess is excellent,
and her conyalescence has been uninterrupt-
ed. The infant Prince is happily, fine and
healthy child Par pdjentheSe he is said to
present already a striking likeness TO his royal
father, his features being unusually well
marked. Very precise statements have been
made as To the uterine age of the infant
Prince and his weight; but these statements
have been more precise than accurate. lie
Is believed by those best able to form an
opinion TO be somewhat more than seven
months child. The weight OF nine pounds
gFayely assigned to the young Prince is alto

has not been weighed at all, and this will GER
tainly afford relief to many anxious mothers

one voice, that it was a shame to weigh the
| little Prince, for it is unluckv to weigh

bly, less than nine pounds, which is a good
weight for fine child of fully nine months

regret.
