to such an rxtont an to call the attention of

AccovcMMK.ir or H kr Majs-ty Bihth or
a I'ltiMCK J'he anxiously expected event ha
taken place at last, her Majesty having on
Tuesday, the yth of Novcniber, given birth to
a Prince.
, It may be gathered from all the accounts tlmt
her Majety makes far leas fuss about herself
than others nuke about her, and as far ns can
be judge.', no peasant's wife was ever less
troubled with whims and fancies. She walked
w ith hi-r husband in tho palace gardens on
Monday evening, did not give any one any trou
ble until seven o'clock t n Tuesday morning,
and before eleven was tho mother of the heir
to the British dominion?.
As an instance, too, of her firmness and free
dam from a fleet lion, it m.iy be mentioned, that
shortly alter her accom-hment, she remarked
persona daily at his home.

td'anoihcr witness tho proprietor of an exten
sive coffee house. The laboring man comes in
the morning tt 4 o'clock, and has a cup of coffee
and slice of bread and butter, for which he pay
1J ; and then again at eight, for his breakfast
he has a cup of coffee, a penny loaf, and a pen
ny worth of butter, which is 31 ; at one o'clock
he conies again and has his coffee, his bread
and meat ; at this hour of the day, there arc up
wards of one hundred dining iu one room at a
time. These coffee houses are now generally
retorted to by all classes, and .it has become
fashionable and customary, to drink coffee and
ask a ;'. ti,l to drink it With you, in the place
of liquor. The duties on coffee in England are
very high ; the duty on colonial coffee being
about 1CJ rents per lb., and on foreign coffee
almost 30 n uts. F.ven at these high duties
actipo! c )ff.'0 is sold at 3 ceuts, and the con
sumption is t wenty-five millions of pounds annu
ally. It is supposed that with a modi-rate re
duction ofduties, the consumption would be in
creased one hundred millions of pounds.
Li Ireland the reformat ion hnsbecu still more
extraordinary; through the exertions of I-'a-t
.cr ilnlhew, the great Temperance Reformer,
millions have taken the p'tdgc of total absti
nence, and these reformed drinkers are aided
in their resolutions, by the free use of Coffee
in.-tea I of lriiibkey. In the districts of I re
l.i nd imdertlie influence of Father Maihow, in
ail the public houses, coffee is sold lubtead of
w hiskey.
We avail ourselves of tho subject and give a
few hints from a noted writer, as to the most
approved mode of preparing coflee. The ex
cellence of this beverage depends in a great
measure, on the skill and attention used in
roasting coffee. If it be too little roasted, it is
devoid of flavor, and if too much it becomes
acrid, and has a disagreeable burnt taste; while
r.astiiifr.lhc grains should be kept constantly
agitated. Coffee vised as an infusion is decided,
ly preferable to when used as a decoction, both
i's regards flavor and strength. Coffee is gen
erally used as a decoction, and boiled for some
limp, under a mistaken notion that tho strength
in this manner is best extracted, but the fact is
the reverse. Tho fine aromatic oil which pro
duces tin flavor and strength of coffee is ui
pellcd and lost by boiling, and a mucilage ex
traded at the same time which mukes it llut
and weak. The best modes are to pour boil
ing water through the coffee in a briggin or
strainer, or to pour boiling water upon it, and
s't it upon tho fire not to exceed ten minutes.
These are the modes of preparing coflee adopt
' ed by the French, the greatest coflee drinkers
in the world. Prepared in this manner coffee
is one of the must cordial and delicious restora
tives ; as most generally concocted with us, it
is a nmscous nd prenicious drug. Macon

tiro a salute to welcome the young Prince, and
being told that the omission arose from the fear
of disturbing her, she replied they "would not
disturb her,' and so tho guns were fired forth
with. It formerly used to be the custom for the of-
i fleers of the state to be huddled into the corner
of the room where the birth took place, for the
purpose of seeing that no changeling was sub
stituted for the "true prince." Modern refine
ment, however, has done away with this ridic
ulous custom, and those important personages
now wait in the ante-chamber. n tho lute
occasion only the father, tho doctor, nnd the
nurse were present. Tho young stranger is
said to be a fine, stout little fellow. He is born
Duke of Cornwall, and, as Duke, comes imme
diately into possession of revenues to the a-
Hiouut of 1-1,000! He is afterwards creuted
"Prince of Wales," and "Earl of Chester."
Ihe origin of the title of Priu:c of Wales is
rather dubious, though the popular account is,
that it arose from the circumstance, of Edward
the First (known in his day as " Ling
shanks," from tho length of his leg) having
played off a successful trick upon the rebel
lious Welsh.
After having conquered the country, he sent
for Queen K'eanor, who was enciente, to be
confined tt Carnaevon Castle, in order that he
might be able to present the s'.unly North Bri
tons with a native prince. After summoning
her refractory chiefs, ho asked them w hether
they would be content with a prince born in the
Country, "free from alt blemish upon his honor,
and who could not speak a word of English,"
am', on their applying in the affirmative, the
baby was produced, and created Prince of
Wales. His motto is "lch Dien," (I serve)
though others contend 6trenuosly for the words
used by the polite Ed ward, when lie presented
his son to the Welsh, "ich dyur." (This is
your man.)
Her Majesty is the first Queen reigning in
her own right who has given birth to a Prince
of Wales. Mary, Eliiabcth, and Anno not hav

In our obituary record of this week contains
an item under this head, which is startling.
Of the adult deaths, 18 out of 41 were by con
sumption, or nearly ono half. Did the cholera,
thesinnll pox or any other disease ol'a similar
character destroy human life at the appalling
rate which marks the footsteps of this archd-
stroycr, no means would Ik; left untried to a-
vert the calamity. Will not our Ikir readers
take timely caution from audi a statement?
The majority of those who die from this disease
are females, and they themselves aid much In
producing the result, by exposing their feet in
shoes utterly unfit in many instances to wear
in the house, still less in the screets, and by
confining the free action of the lungs in braces
which alike destroy health and the beautiful
proportions which Nature has given to their
forms. Philad. Cax. Dec. 0.

PCNru.vrn. The filly-lirt struggle was the
siege of Warsaw. The Russian unny, com
posed of 100,110, attempted for two days to
take possession of Wursiw, defended only by I
iio.tHMI Pole. Appalling and melancholy wus
the picture, when the suburbs of llursavv were
consumed i i tlatnes by the Russian artillery,
They opened batteries of 500 pieces ot cannon,
which they played like an infernal orchestra u-
round the tittering houses. Tlmt tremendous
bombardment lasted two days; it seemed l.ke
a canopy of destructive fire, which surrouuded
and covered the Jt voted capital. The en
trenchment of the fortifications was filled up
with the dead rdii s of the Rusnians, who
mounted upon 5,000 of their slain country
men to the walls. Tho Polee counted 9.000 in
killed and wounded. Next day, however,
Warsaw was taken. Tlrs was the end of that
ardent struggle ofthe Polish revolution, which
lasted months. During this time the Poles
fought filty battles; I'AI.OOO Russians, withfiOO
artillery, had been sent against 70,000 Poles,
and 120 cannon; iiOO.tHXI of Russians fell vie
tiuis in the Polish territory.
