 I give you today a letter on the baby hood and boyhood of the English mon- arch. who will be crowned on the 18th of this month. The advance sheets of a new life of the king lie before me, and large part of my information comes from them.
 The King first opened his eyes in Buck ingham Palace at twelve minutes before II o'clock on Tuesday morning on the 9th of November just sixty-one years ago. A little baby girl had come before him. but his advent made all England ring. His very birth was matter of cer- emony. When it was known that he was coming dispatches were sent out from the palace to the chief ministers and officers of state to he present. The Archbishop of Canterbury. the Duke of Wellington. the Bishop of London and large number of others came post haste, and there were d score of eminent phy- sicians in attendance. The Prince was born in a room in the northwest corner of the palace. The high officials were kept in an ante-room at the time and only Prince Albert. his father. Dr. Locock. the queens physician, and Mrs. Lilly, the nurse. were in the chamber. The first person among the waiting nobles to see the baby was the Duchess of Kent. but moment later he was brought out
 
 the lords of council. The first person who had good look at him was the Duke of Wellington, who bent his gray head down over the rosy-cheeked infant and asked. in tones of intense eagerness: "Is it boy?'
 Tt is a prince, your grace" replied the proud nurse. | As soon as the announcement was | made cannon were fired in the parks and | in the Tower. The bells of London and | all over England were run for joy. and | the following bulletin was posted on the palace gates:
 "The queen was delivered of a prince | this morning at forty-eight minutes past | 10 o'clock. Her Majesty and the infant Prince are perfectly well. l :"Janes Clark. M. D., l "Charles Locock. M. D..

God Save the Queen | was sung at all the theaters. The Lord Mayor gave banquet, at wmch tne health of the prince was drunk tnres l times in succession. and Punch published f a poem on the princelet, two verses or which were as follows;
 Huzza! We've little prince at last | A roaring royal boy; And all day long the booming bells l Have rung their peals of joy. 1 And the little park guns have blazed away And made a tremendous noise Whilst the air hath been filled since 1 eleven o'clock l With the shouts of little boys. And we have taken our little bell, And rattled and laughed, and sang as we'll
 Roo-too- -toot! Shallabella. Life to the Prince! Fallalderalla! | Our little Prince when he grows boy, Will be taught by men of lore. From the dusty tome of the ancient sage,
 As kings have been taught before But will there be one good true man near TO tutor the infant heart? TO tell him the world was made for all, And the poor man claims his part? We trust there will; so we'll rattle our bell. ] And shout and laugh. and sing as we'll Roo-too-tcoit. Shallabella! Life to the Prince! Fallalderaila!
