The Engllsh Royal Family.

The continued and it is now supposed,
permanent abstention of her Majesty
from all public festivities causes great
dissatisfaction in London. Recently
n further cause of dissatisfaction was
offered in'the treatment that the depu-
tation received who went to Windsor to
present addresses of congrntulation on
the birth of the young prince. They
received not word Of OclSnowled4-
ment in reply, but kissed hands and
''moYed On''-the answers being forma.
Written documents. The Queen, it is
said, spends considerable portion of
her time mt Frogmore, where the maui
sOleum of her husband is erected and
this summer will be .signaliZed bv the
erection of another of those memorials
to the Prince Consort which-are so nu-
merous that they are beginning to have
the effect upon the English mind which
the constant praise of Arfstides the
just had upon Athenians.
The Prince of Wales appears to have
discovered TINT the English people pre-
fer that the members of their royal
family should bear English names. He
has, therefore, bent to the popular wish
in this matter, and it is now officially
announced that his infant son will not
bear the name OF Christian as at first
proposed. His finfnntine Royal High
ness will be baptized on the 7th Of the
present month Mt Windsor, and will
receive the name of George Frederick
Ernest Albert. The King of Hanover
Will be one otsthe sponsors.

THE WEEKLY FREE PRESS
The City Election.

The election Of City Officers took place
on Monday last and, as might be expected,
the preliminary movement, have excIted much
interest In the several wards conventions
had been held to nominate Aldermen and
Common Councilmen, and Ward Officers
Among the nominees are several who did
not favor the acceptance of the act for the
Incorporation of the City. To have excluded
all such would have been neither proper nor
polite Many, who acted under an honest
Judgment in voting against the acceptance of
the act, now that it is accepted are willing
to 90 fairly and heartily for the proper ad-
ministration of city affairs Unquestionably,
a decided majority Of the City Council should
be men, who, while they do not lack in the
other good qualities requisite for their re-
spective Offices, have been so decided and ear
nest for the city organization. that they will
be hearty and willing to work in Its service.
There viii be much TO be done TO set matters
well a-going, especially for the first year or
so, and the two boards Of which the City
Council Is composed should be 50 made up
that. either separately or in convention, the
members will act with a reasonable degree
of harmony, and especially that they shall
not be exposed to dead-locks
Though for a long period there has been
strong preponderance in town on one side.
so far aspOlitical questions are concerned it has
not been the practice to exclude wholly men
politically in the minority, from town Offices
A continuance Of the former usage is found
in this instance
