THE PRINCE OF WALES. As some interest may attach to a perusal of what took p'ace on the birth of the last Prince of Wales (George IV.), we extract the followinar account from the Annual Hegister, for the year 1762 The episode of the captured treasure, though not properly be- longing to the subj,-ct, was too prominent a feature to be omitted:- cC Thill morning (Aug 12, 1762), at half an hour past seven, the Queen was happily delivered of a prinre, her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wa!es, several Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and the Ladies of her Majesty's Bedchamber being present. This great and important news was immediately made known to the town by firing of the Tower guns and the Piivy Council being assembled as soon as possible thereupon, it was ordered that a form of thanksgiving for the Queen's safe delivery of a prince should be prepared by his Grace the Arch- bishop of Canterbury. to be used within the bills of mortality on Sunday next, and throughout the King's dominions, the Sunday after the respective ministers shall receive the satno. It was likewise ordered, that in every part of the public service where the royal family is appointed 10 be particularly prayed for, the following form shall be ot,Prved o Our gracious Queen Chailolte, his R ynl Highness the Prince, her Royal Highness the Princess Dow- ager of Wales, and all the royal family. "The Queen was brought to bed at 24 minutes after seven, after being in labour some what above two houra. Her Majesty found herself not well at two o'clock, and abcut three notice was sent to the Priucesa of Wales that the Queen was not well, upon which her royal highness hastened to St. James's, and was there by four o'clock. About five, orders were sent to the gieat officers of state to attend; and there were present the Archb:shop of Canterbury, the Duke of Devonshire, he Duke of Rutland, the Lords Hardwicke, Huntingdon, Talbot, Ha ifax, Bute, Masham, and C intilupe, and all the ladiea of the bedchamber and the maids of honour. The Qneen was delivered by Mrs. Draper; Dt. Hunter wa. in waiting, in calle o' his help being wanted. The archbishop was m the room, and the lords in a room adjoining, with a door open into the Queen's apartment The person that waited on the King with the news of her Majesty's being delivered of a prince received a present of a 6t500 bank bill" A few days after the birth of George IV. he was exhibited publicly at the palace for several days in auccession, all respectably-dressed persons being freely admitted. Thousands of persons of both sexes availed themselves of the privilege, for the two-fold purpose of showi ig their attachment to the reigning Monarch and of seeing him whom they expected would one day sway the sceptre of this great empire. The public were admitted into the state apartment where the royal inlant was to he seen, from whom they were separa-ed by a network, similar in form to what is used in aviaries, but being composed of fine gold wire.

Na, er., was performed before his Majesty at the Chapel Royal, in thanksgiving for her Majesty's sale de'ivery of a priDCP Ie '0 clap your hand-, together, all ye people. 0 sing with the voice of melody. "c 0 sing praises, sing praises, unto our Got) I 0 sing praises unto our King. Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb are an heritage and gift that cometh of the LORD. "'Like as the arrows in the hand ot t he iaDI, even so are the young children. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them. He shall not be ashamed when he speaketh with his enemies in the gate. .1. Lo, thus shall the man be blessed that fearetb the LORD. Hallelujah.' On the 17th, the King was pleased to order letters patent to be passed under the aeal of Great B itain for creating his Royal Highness the Prince of Great Britain (Electoral Prince of Brunswick- Lunenburg. Duke of Cornwall and Rothsay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Great Steward of Scotland), Prince of Wales and Earl of Cheater. And "On the 18'h of September the ceremony of the christeuing his royal highness was performed in the Great Council Chamber of bis Majesty's palace by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, his Most Sereoe Highness the reigning Duke of Mecklen- burg-Strelitz (represented by the Duko of Devon- shire, lord chamberlain of his Majesty's household) being godfathers; and her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales being godmother* "The young Prince was named George Augustus Frederick.

From the statement we have jo-t given, it will be seen that the'title of p, inee of Wales ()e" not pTtain to the royal heir-apparent at his birth, but his conferred by lettei-,4 patent usually within a fe-, days after the event.
