The authorities of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields have registered the birth of

Queen Victoria's fifth child—a daughter. The guns fired ; Parliament have passed addresses to the Queen ; but the fourth Priocess's entry on the scene created no sensation equal to that of her eldest sister or her brother of Wales. Yet may the country some day have great interest in her existence : Queen Victoria herself was far down in the list of succession. But re.. mote chances seldom affect the popular mind, and the Princess with name unknown will be little thought of till she shall ap- pear in pageants or the estimates. The present anxiety was for the royal mother; and the bulletin announcing the usual intelli- gence, of her safety and good health, was generally welcome.
