Mr. Disraeli-I rise, sir, to move that humble

late her majesty upon the birth of princess to
the royal consort of the heir apparent. The
prince and princess of Wales live so much among
the nation that, on an occasion like the present,
il is impossible that such domestic event should
not excite some political feeling. While | am
sure that we shall cordially and unanimously
assure her majesty Of the satisfaction with which
we hear that by the birth of another member of
the royal family there is additional security for
the continuance of the dynasty with which are
so indssolubly connected the liberties Of the
country, We can, at the same time, express our
feelings Of qualification at the restored health

fore, that humble address be presented to her
majesty to congratulate her majesty upon the
princess of Wales having happily given birth to
princess and to assure her majesty of feelings
Of devoted loyalty and affection to her majesty,s
person and family. (Cheers.)
Mr.. Gladstone-I rise to second the motion Of
the right honorable gentleman, to which | am sure
that this House will, as on former occasions, ac-
cede with unanimity and with the greatest cor.
diality. The domestic relations Of the members
of the royal family have assumed to the great
satisfaction of the country, a position in recent
times which is almost novel with regard to the
degree in which the people of the country are
permitted to become acquainted with them, and
the interest of the people in those domestic rela
tons is proportionately enhanced. All that tends
to exhibit the royal family and the various groups
Of the royal family in the light and attitude before
the eyes of the nation Of families knit together by
mutual affection, and growing and prospecting In
mutual love, gives cordial satisfaction to the
country in all classes and throughout all parts.
1t is undoubtedly true that we derive an adj
tional pleasure from the mercy which has been
vouchsafed to the prince and princess of Wales
upon the present occasion, from observing that
no renewed detriment has occurred to the consti.
tuition of one whose pure and lofty character, and
whose gracious manners have, not less than her
high station, caused her to be an object of the
greatest interest. (Cheers)
The resolution was carried unanimously.
THE PRINCESS OF WALES.
Nothing could have been more favorable than
the accouchement of her royal highness the

that the long illness of her royal highness has not
