The Prince of Wales as a speech-maker.

There are very few men in England
who can make as good a speech as the
Prince of Wales. His voice is singu-
larly far-reaching, clear, pleasant, and
his delivery is simple and digniiied.
But it must not be supposed that the
ease and tluency which now character
ize his public discourses were attained
witout trouble, or that the Prince is
one of the mob OF gentlemen who
speak at ease and nave very little
to say worth listening to. At first,
when he had to address an audience
and it fell to his lot 10 begin speech
making whilst he was vely Young in
deed he spoke with some hesitation.
and he gave his audience the idea of
who would be very glad when he could
sit down; but by persistent practice,
stimulated by the certainty that he
must look forward to constant calls
upon him, and animated by a high
sense of duty, the Prince overcame the
difficulties which besct most Young
orators, aggravated in his ease by the
consciousness hat every word he ut
tered would be eagerly weighed aud
recorded. He has acquired a COM
1nand of language and a felicity of cx
preston which commend his matter
to the most critical, whilst it is at the
same time judicious in substance and
much to the point. No one can make
n better case for 4 charitable @institu-
