Vel. Wile. 358 — Whole He. 2026. Christening of the Yuung Prinee of Wales, The infant son of the Queen of Eogland was baptised 10 St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, on Tuee- day, the 25th of Janaary, 1812. We subjoin the fol- lowing account of it, compiled from various English journals and from our own correspondents :— Wisncon, an. 26th, 12,0°elock. hibited here to-day 1s worthy the hina nd nape ys it was meant to celebrate—the induction of the {ature Soren ie of these realms under Divine Pr »vidence into the bosom of Christian- ity—and with the eyes of Christendom turned to- wards such anevent it was “meet and! just, right and necessary”’ that such a pageant should have “ A kingdom fora stage, princes to act sour ere! eto bench the swelling scene.” The morning, which was acold one with a heavy} snow falling, was vshered in by the ringing of bells and the firing «f esnnon, and at eight o'clock the martial straia of she band of the Grenadier Guards of which regiment his Grace the Duke of Welling- ton is colone!,) fllowed by the first battalien of that splendid corps. under the command of Colonel Fer- gursen, gave lity and avimation to the scene. The morning, though preceded by a stormy night of in- intense severity, opeaed with a most suspicious as- pect, and a burs: o brilliant eueshine gave birth to a day which will loag be remembered in the annals of England The Grenadier Guards left Paddington by a special train at hf past. six o’ciock, and on their arrival at Windsor took their station asa guard of hovor in the cipal quadrangle of the castle.

It is unnecessary to eay that the initials of tbe Royal infant sarmoanied by the feather of the Prince of Wales,is in every ancee the device adopted. In the front of Eton College, and all the other principal buildings, arrangements have been made on a aplendid scale, to wiye ¢ff-ct to the scene. At nine the carriages of the nobility began to arrive, among the earliest of which we observed the following dis- tinguished pereoaages:—The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Buceleugh, the Dake and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke of Buckingham, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, Baron Van de Weyer, Lord De Lisle. Sir Robert Peel, SirJames Graham, Sir Edward Knatchbull, Lord Granville Somerset, the Earl of Ripoa, Lord Waracliffe, the Chancellor of the Exechequer, Sit Henry Hardinge, Mr. Pemberton (the, Attoracy.General for the Duke of Cornwall,) Sir Willoughby Gordoa, EarlJermyn, Earl Howe, &c., &c. ‘The brilliant equipages of the guests now kept -dashing up to the c..stle in suck: rapid succession that it was quite impossible to record the names of their -occupants'as they whirled pest. At the moment this leaves, every approach to the castle is thronged with maltitudes of people who evidently participate most heartily in the prevailing joy, and every quat- ter of an hour the metropolis sends forth its contri- butions from the railway to swell the crowds. The utmost harmony prevails at every point ; the police are indulgent and forbearing, and the people neither obstinate nor infl-xible,though exveedingly curious, and debarred, except by ticket, from coming within the outer gates of the castle.

At 12 o’cleck a squadron of the Royal Hors Guards (blue) took up their position in the Quai le, eppesite the Queen’s private entrance, | tended by the fine baad of that regiment, whi performed several favorite airs during the formation of the cavalcade. The scene in the Quadrangle was truly exciting. What with the Liilliant san- shine, the glittering arms of the soldiery, the mar- tial strains ct the music, the gay and splendid uni- form of the officers, the gaudy state equipages, and the presence ofa great number of elegantly dressed jadifeand gentlemen, to the Castle I wittrever and anon the boom- ing of cannon in the distance—the whole cembined to create an effect imposing in the extreme.

Ata quarter past | the Royal cortege, consisting of five earriages, left the Castle. In the first and second were the maids of honor, in the third the King of Prussia and the Duke of x. His Majesty was attired in the national uniform of the Corps du Garde, and wore the order of the Black Eagle, which he seldom does, indeed neyer but on most extraordinary occasions. In the third carriage came the royal infant, and on ap- proaching the so'diery the nurse held him up to the window, when the Grenadier Guarda, who flanked the way from the Castle, presented arms.— The infant appeared tobe a fine, healthy, robust child, and looked extremely well. That portien of the pepulace which had the good fortune to catch # glispse of the future King of England, set up aloud and hearty cheer, which ap- peared highly to gratify the hearts of the royal pa- rents, who followed in the next carriage, and affa- Diy aolaiowtedesd the salutations of the crowd. ler majesty, though somewhat delicate looking, spacared, in good health. The Dutchees of Kent the foreign ministers followed, and terminated the line of proceesson. The procession began to move at half past 11 o'clock. It wae very irregular, the carriages arriv- ing two or three at a time, and them a long interval occurring before the next appreached. This spoiled the general effect, thengh it gave these assembled an opportunity of fixing their attention on the chief objects of their curiosity and_of their affectionate loyalty. The ministers and officers of etate and of the household led the procession. They were un- noticed by the crowd, and indeed they could hardly be recognised from the dresses they wore, from the fact that they were all but hid by the closed win- -dows of the state carriages. The firet coach that caused a stirand shout among the crowd was that containing the Prince of Wales. The scene at this moment was 4 most animating one. The gorgeous state carriages of the Court coming down at a quick pace from the Quadrangle, the picturesque plaid searfa of the Highland officers were floating in the air as they rode to and fro in command of their ‘the gleaming of the sun on the barrels of the first Life Guards asthey presented arms with a precision the most perfect and mechanical, dezsled the eyes ef the spectator—the inspiriting music of the band thrilled every breast, and the heart stirring cheers of the people rent the air with an emulative ardor.
