Nau?l ai< Vamc-Giifriij A Philadelphia contemporary has an interesting article on this subject, which is called forth l?y the recent baptism of the Prince of Wales' second son : . Instead of having the regulated number of sponsors, the little Prince had seven, viz: . The Queen of Den? mark, the King of Hanover, the Princess Louise of Hesse, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke of Saxe Co? burg and Goths, the Duke of Cam?; " bridge and the Prince of Leini^en, Of these seven, only the two last>vere present. ' The others were represent? ed by proxy-Queen Victoria standing up for the Queen of Denmark, the infant's other" grand-mother. It is not stated, in the elaborate descrip- I tion of this ceremonial, whether there J was anything particular ns to the j water used in the baptism. When the Prince of Wales was christened, the King of Prussia was his god-father, iuid the water used was brought from the river Jordan {or that specific pur* pose, and was not, as might .have been expected' from the King'r pre? diction, a liquid supplied .by tho Widow Cliquot. The newly-made Christian, according to the English custom, was let lightly off with only ' four names-George-Frederick-Er? nest-Albert. lu Austria, the usual average of royal names is four; in j Prussia, it is three; in Russia, it im two; in Belgium, there arc eighteen j names among "three royal children. In Brazil, Portugal and Spain, each royal Christian's given names are so numerous that it must be quite an effort of memory to remember ! them. The Emperor Pedro, of Brazil, J has fifteen names, his eldest daugh- j ter eight, and her sister the tama number. In Spain, five royal chil- < dren have forty-four names among 1 them. Napoleon LTI and his wife j have three names each, and the Prince Imperial bas five; but other;} of the Bonaparte*' family have many mo'e. The Orleans children avo- j .raged i..^. each, and the Bourbons I four. The Queen of Hanover has ' +WA1VA* "Vif?fr>r EfflaaSinfi'! sr.v^r. . l-dsi ' - .. - . - 7- - - - .. - ?.... ..VA DU ? ell , . Ill ry eldest son eight; and his sister-in-law twelve. The deposed Duchess of Mo dena also sports a round dozen. The Prince of Orange, about *to marry Queen Victoria's daughter, has six names. One of the Saxe Weimar Princes ha1* ten, but the. royal house of Portugal and Saxony, carry this absurdity of bearing many names to the extreme. King Louis, of Portu? gal, has nineteen names, while two sisters and a broth ; have forty-two among them, and three more of that family rejoice in twenty-one names apiece. The King of Saxony has six? teen-but the average of his house is one lower. Some of the inferior princely houses of Europe are very strong in fche name line. Very much in contrast with the strange practice of loading children with a crowd of names, is the general practice in countries wholly or pur ? 1 ?-? '_-_.J ! sidential chair, all except three had only one Christian namei- In Eng? land, too, among the great political rolers and leaders, the same maj be observed; Walpole, the two Pitts, Can? ning, Grey, PeeLjBrougham, Grattan, Cobden, Bright D'Israeli, *&nd" a gPs.it number of one-named persons might be counted up, and a compa? ratively J snialle number of eminent men with more than one-though in this minority are Fox, Sheridan and Curran ; Ixrcjds Derby and Palmerston, and Mr. Gladstones Among thdfeingle names are fhe two Bacons, (Roger anti Sprancis,) Shakspeare, Johnson, Milton, Cowley, Maxwell, Donne, Dryden, Pope, Prior, Goldsmith, Sa? muel Johnson, Cowper, Scott? Bo? gers, Moore, Edgeworth, Smollet, Fielding, Griffin and Dickens. All this, however, is a digression from the original question, whether Victoria, "head of the Church," has not violated her owii Rubric, by giv? ing seven instead of three, sp on sors to her little .grand-son. It is to be hoped tliey will make a good tChristian of him at any rate. LrxraiEs *F 'rm: ANCIENTS-DIS? COVERIES AT POMPEII.-Galignani's Messenger, o| .August 9, has tho fol? lowing: The excavations at Pompeii are going on with an activity, stimulated by the important discoveries made almost at every step, and the quanti? ties of gold ?nd silver found, which more than suffice to cover the cost of the works. Near the Temple of Juno, of which ,uin account was" recently given, has just been brought to light, a hotise no d?uht; belonging to some niillionaire of the time, as the furniture is of ivory, bronze, and marble. The couches of the. triclimiun, or dining 1 room, are especially of extreme rich? ness. The flooring consists of an immense mosaic, well preserved in parts, and of winch the centre repre? sents a table laid out for a grand dmner. In the middle, on a large dish, may be seen a splendid pea? cock, with its tail spread out, and placed back to back with another bird also of elegant plumage. Around them are arranged, lobsters, one of which holds a blue egg in its claws, a second an oyster, which appears to be fricaseed, as it is open, ana cover? ed with herbs; a third,*1 a rat forci, and a fourth, a small vase filled with rrifid gp.%*ec>Lopi)ers. "Vovf. cojnkn n circle of dishes of fish, interspersed with othefs of partridges, hares, and ; squirrels, which all have their heads I placed between their fore feet. Then ' comes a row of sausages of all forms, j supported by one?of eg?-s, oysters, j and olives, which, m -its turn is sur- I? rounded by a double circle of poaches, j cherries, melons and other fruits and j vegetables. The walls of tho tiiclimum are covered with fresco paintings of .' birds, fruits, flowers, ^ame, and fish-i of all kinds, the whole interspersed ' with drawings, which lend a charm to ! the whole not easy to describe. On j a table of rare wood, carved and in- ! laid witfi gold, marble, and agate, and i lapis lazuli, were found amphora! still containing wine; and come goblefs of ! onyx. j UQUOBS, GROCERIES AND DRY GOODS.
