The Birth Of the New Prince.
THE LONDON OBSERVERS ACCOUNT OF IT,

THE LONDON OBSERVERS ACCOUNT OF 1T.
It was intended that the confinement of
her royal highness should take place at
Marlborough House, and the princess was
to have left Frogmore for London in about
n fortnight. For several DAYS past the prin-
cess had been slightly indisposed, and was
suffering from catarrh and cold, and it is
stated that DIR. Browne, of Windsor, who
attended her royal highness, judging from
the symptoms of the princess, had intima-
ted that the interesting event might occur
earlier than was anticipated. The princess,
however, had so far recovered from the in
disposition under which she had been suf-
tering, as to feel no hesitation in being
Spresent at the skating party on the Virginia
waters on Friday. On returning to Frog
more her royal highness soon became
ared telesrsaa$s 1s sas E srRSss RSs 8alsa 8f Mflfs Il &
borne, respecting the condition of her
royal highness. The symptoms of an ap-
proaehing birth continued to increase, and
the Prince deemed 1t advisable to dispatch
a messenger Immediately requesting the at
tendance of DIR. Browne, who arrived about
seven o'clock In the evening of Friday, and
at two minutes TO nine, as the bulletins have
already informed the country, her royal
highness was safely delivered of healthy
prince. Messages were also sent to the
medical men who were appointed to at
tend her royal highness, and for Sir George
Grey; but the confinement took place long
before they could reach Frogmore. DIR.
Sieyeking, the physician to the Prince of
Wales, was the iirst to'arrive from London.
He was followed by DIR. Fare and DIR.
Cream, and later by Sir George Locock. We
believe that we are not unduly violating the
sanctity of the domestic arrangements, of
their royal highnesses when we state that as
the arrival of the young prince was wholly
unexpected, and as the Prince and Prin-
cess were staying at FrOgmore and not at
Marlborough House, no arrangements had
been made for his reception. There was no
nurse in attendance; but the maternal. .ex-
perience of the Countess of Macclesfield,
the lady y-in-waiting was of inestimable val
ue In extemporising such articles Of COM
fort and clothing as were necessary for the
young Prince. The other ladies of the
household were, of course, equally anxious
to give every assistance in their power in
this interesting emergency. A telegram
was dispatched to her Majesty Immediately
after the arrival of DR.. Browne, and the
happy birth of the Prince was also commu-
nicated by the same means. The Queen ar
rived at Windsor about noon on Saturday,
and Immediately paid visit to the Princess.
During Saturday, Frogmore was the scene
of great excitement, each train from Lon
don bringing down Cabinet Ministers, MEM
bers of the household, and large numbers
of the aristocracy, to offer their congratula-
tions to the Prince Of Wales.
On her arrival at Windsor her majesty
was greeted with the most enthusiastic
cheers. As soon as the train stopped, the
Prince of Wales, who had been anxiously
awaiting the appearance of the royal train,
enteredthe state carriage and affectionately
embraced the Queen, who immediately
alighted and entered one of the royal car
riages, which was in readiness outside the
Queens private waiting-room, and at once
drove, accompanied by the Prince of Wales,
through the town, which was everywhere
draped with flags to Frogmore House, on a
visit to the princess and infant prince. Her
majesty remained with the Princess Of
Wales at Frogmore all day, till a late hour
in the evening.
