BUTLER and MICULLOCH, SEED MERCHANT!, Covent prdssnmarket, London. MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES AND PRINCESS ALEXANDRA. (FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTERS.) The marriage of the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alexandra was solemnised yesterday in the Chapel Royal at Windsor. It is now sixty-seven years since the marriage of a Prince of Wales took please. More than two generations of men have passed away since an event similar to that of yester day oocurred in England. It was therefore em phatically a novelty. But when the changes which have occurred in the intervening period have been! taken into account, when eapecially the afflictions' which have taken place within the last two or three years in the domestic circle of the royal family are remembered, it will be felt that there was something above and beyond a novelty in the event of yester day, which fully accounts for the mingled eclat and ' sympathy with which it was accompanied. Although the town was very full overnight—so much as five pounds having been asked for three beds and a sitting-room for one night—the trains from London brought an immense accession of visitors. Every carriage arriving both by the Great Western and South-Western lines was se fall of pawners as it could contain ; and it was inlitself no inferior spectacle to see the crowds of ladies issuing from the two termini in dresses of the most varied and brilliant colours, and proceeding with all possible expedition to their places on the platforms within the Castle gates. Rosettes of white ribbon would of anise not show to advantage on the costume of ladies, and therefore it may be presumed, with that characteristic shrewdness which always enables them to improve a good opportunity, the ladies must have very successfully appealed to Paterfamilias or husband for the more substantial adornment of bonnet, mantle, or dress, for never do we remember having seen such an ' abundance of spick and span new costume as on 'this occasion. At hilf-past 10 o'clock the regiment of the Cold stream Guards came upon the ground, commanded by Coldnel Leconter and were soon formed so as to keep the line leading from the gate through which the procession was to pass to the entrance for the bride and bridegroom. With the Coldstream were united in this duty the Berkshire Volunteers, who were assembled under their commander, Colonel Loyd Lindsay, to the number of 686. The Grena diers and Fusiliers were on duty in other portions of the Castle. At 11 o'clock the Lt Regiment of the Horse Guards came in, and took their stations, and imme diately after the Eton scholars, all of them wearing rosettes, made a rush up the hill, and stationed them selves on the south side behind the Horse Guards. At a quarter-past 11 all admissions within the Castle gates were stopped, and the spectacle which then presented itself was brilliant in the highest degree. The east sod of the broad drive, where it connects itself with the park, may be regarded as the basis of a triangle, the sides of which run gradually narrowing till they form the main road at the town entrance to the Castle. Along this roadway, and immediately behind the Guards, stood a double line of spectators. Behind these, on the south aide, rose the upper and middle platforms, full of gentle men and ladies—the former with rosettes, the latter glittering in their bright scarlet, blue, and magenta mantles, and their light and flowered bonnets. Still further down, in the hollow of the slope, and surrounding the door by which the bridal proces sion was to enter the Chapel Royal, was the third platform, occupied by a more highly favoured and a more brilliantly attired group. Iu the distance, on the north side, rose the grey, solid frame of the grand old castle itself, in fine contrast with the hut and varied colouring on the opposite side. The coup d'ail, as it took in the whole view, with the flags floating from the triumphal arch before the castle gates, and enlivened by rays of sunlight, such as of themselves never fail to ex hilirate any crowd in the month of March in this northern clime, was at once magnificent and invigorating, and, when taken in connexion with the event with which it was asso ciated, may be regarded as combining with the artistic and the natural, something of the sympa thetic and the sublime. One of the earliest arrivals at the Castle was the Maharajah Dhuleep Sin4b, who presented the Princess Alexandra with a bouquet bolder which cost 1,0001. At 20 minutes put 11, the royal state carriages, magnificently mounted, and some of them apparently quite new, passed up the Park Hill and eutered St. George's-gate. Shortly after the equipages of the Lord Mayor, of Mr. Alderman and Sheri ff Lawrence, and of Mr. Sheriff Jones drove up and also entered St. George's-gate, but for some reason or other the representatives of the City drove back without being set down. Neither the members of the diplomatic body nor the great Akers of state, those immediately connected with the royal household excepted, formed any part of the procession front the Castle to St. George's Chapel. I At 37 minutes past 11 the lint carriage of the procession approached the gates, when all at once there was a bustle of commotion ' and every eye was directed to its approach. The first part of the procession consisted of the royal g u es t s . Th e y came io seven state carriages.

At this point a ludicrous incident occurred which oonvulead all present, even to the disciplined and stern soldiers on duty, with laughter. An elderly Man in very plain clothes, accompanied by two porters, the one carrying a blue bag well filled, the other a carpet one not quite so bulky, passed up the centre of the entire line, and entering the gate from which the procession issued, was lost to view within the royal castle itself. A Jew carrying away his "ole " after a good morning's work, or a poor traveller unable to pay for a cab (to either of whist the strange visitor might be compared), could tot have been more unexpected at such • tine and place ; but although every one laughed sad wondered what he did there, the mysterious stranger plumed uneonoersedly along, gate-keepers, policeman, sad soldiers yielding to the latent in , flue*** which he possessed, of whatever sort it might les. Thie little incident, which was pleasant even as it varied a monotony of splendour, having pared, the third part of the procession, that of the bride nto move. Thin act was announced Cr z etand by the cheering of the little boys and girls of we Queens's Windsor school, who, with • gseciits eat humemelbasehosmia, were aloes pos. mitted by the Queen to stand in the lawn inside the gates, and who decidedly had thus the best op portunity of witnessing the cavalcade. This is a circumstance which deserves to be recorded and re membered, for it redounds greatly to the thought ful condescension and to the wide sympathy of her Majesty. We shall leave the appearance and dress of the royal bridegroom to be described as he stood in the Chapel Royal, but we may mention here that he appeared more thoughtful than usual It was re marked by several that as he grows older he looks more like his father, but that he has unmistakeably his mother's eyes, He was greatly cheered as he passed along, and he bowed right and left in the most gracious and sympathetic manner. His ex pression was that of one who felt that at that mo ment the good and sincere wishes of a people were accompanying him to the bridal altar. Last of all came the procession of the bride. It need scarcely be said, however splendid was the whole cavalcade, and however interested the sec tators were in the personal appearance of the bride groom, the young bride, the stranger amongst us, was the object of the deepest sympathy and the tenderest regard. It was assuredly no vulgar curiosity that prompted the eyes of thousands of spectators to gaze with intensity into that last car riage which bore the Princess Alexandra of Den mark, and who is now the Princess of Wales. No ; it was a far deeper sentiment—a feeling that lies profound in the human heart : it was that "music of humanity," which makes the humblest vibrate to those touches of nature which ascend in divine harmony from low to high, and descend in corresponding concord from high to low. The young Princess, though surrounded by many members of her family, was felt to be a stranger • she was young, tender , and though her stay in E ngland had been short, had won golden opinions from all by her sweetness of manner and pleasant presence ; and these immediate considerations, with others sug geeting themselves in the dim future, threw a kind of fascination around her as she passed by and was saluted by the encouraging cheers of English women and English men. She looked pale—exceedingly so. One who had men her seated by the side of the Prince of Wales on Monday afternoon as she drove in her light open carriage to Eton, smiling and blushing as she went, would hardly reoog nise the same person in the " white lady," arrayed in her bridal robes and pearly wreaths. There was, indeed, about her that' " Virgin majesty with mild And sweet allayed," which has already given her a high place in the heart of her now adopted country ; but still there was absent that light of joyousness which flung brightness and gladness on all around. When, however ' the circumstances of her position are considered, the change may be readily accounted for ; and it may be as well to state here that on the return of the procession there was a marked improvement in her appearance, for a por tion of the " something like an angel ight " had reappeared on the countenance of the Princess of j Wales. The Queen did not go to the chapel in the royal procession, but proceeded thither by the private passage which had been prepared for her. THE WEDDING. The appearance of St. George's Chapel yesterday morning, when opened to its eager and expectant visitors, was rather disappointing to those who had read the previous descriptions of the elaborate pre parations which were being made for the royal wedding. The truth is that the whole strength of the decorators bad been thrown upon the reception and retiring rooms of the Princess and Prince, and that very little had been done to alter the appear. anoe of the chapel itself. The stalls of the Knights of the Garter looked as sombre in their oak carving as ever, the banners as duaty, and the coronets as little like the costly head gear of nobles of the land as those appendages of the moat noble Order usually do. The reredos at the back of the communion table had a raw and unfinished look, its cold pale colour toning down very much the richness of effect given by the costly communion plate with which the table itself was furnished. The seats which bad been provided along the choir for the privileged visitors harmonised so well in colour and workmanship with the knightly stalls behind, that the spectator was hardly aware that any addition had been made to the ordinary interior accommodation. The haat pea was covered with the same carpet which we have observed on former state occasions, nor did the central passage of the choir present any novel features of decoration. The only novelties which we observed were the tabourets of state on the luset pea for the royal personages who were to assist at the wedding, and the drapery of purple velvet and gold which hung over the balcony of the Queen's closet. The interior of St. George's Chapel of course always looks beautiful, but on this occasion it was not until it was tilled with its royal, noble, fair, and distinguished company, that the spectator felt that he was gazing upon certainly one of the moat magnificent and best ordered pageants of modern times. The position which bad been allotted to ourselves, being on the left of the great orgau, had the advantage of commanding at the same time the nave and the choir. On the one side, as we have stated before, everything was solemn, antique, almost feudal. The stalls of th e knights, their dusty banners overhead, and these again surmounted by the tarnished coronets • the I great stained glass window at the end, the re redos , below it, and the heavy richness of the communion plate—all combined to give to the choir an I air of great solemnity. On the opposite I aide, in the nave, everything was light, cheer ful, and airy. Abundance of light streamed in, with now and then a stray sunbeam through the Gothic windows, and gave great brilliancy and I effect to the galleries, filled with ladies in toilettes as gay and many coloured as a flower garden. At the far end a crimson curtain hid from view the j space in which the processions were being mar- I shelled, and every stir in this piece of drapery was an object of :great interest and excitement to the company. Having, as the police would say, free • circulation from side to side in the organ gallery, the persons who were accommodated in that part of the chapel beguiled the time which elapsed between their admission and the commence intuit of the ceremonial in watching the inci dents that oocurrednow in the nave, now in the choir, and the entrance of distinguished personages on MB..

In the nave the great officers of the household began to drop in at an early hour, and seemed to be fully impressed with the responsi bility that devolved upon them on this important day. We observed a cluster of them in elaborate blue and gold uniforms, busy for a long time on the ' haul pas searching for something which it would appear one of them had dropped, but which on being at last found clamed them to disappear with alacrity in various directions and in evident satis factiou. At the right hand corner of the nave, close by the communion-table, the well-known artist, Mr. Frith, might be seen, in court dress, and in as admirable position for taking the prelimi nary sketches for his promureit picture. The great artist was sunounded by a perfect bevy of ladies, and seemed exesedingly to enjoy his rather enviable location. The ladies bad sow begun to arrive. Their drama were splendid, and in great variety both of material sad colour, with, however, 1111 regards the latter, • considerable preponderance of selection in favour of mauve and magenta. Perhaps the most beautiful as well as the most richly drawled amongst this faabionable company was the Countess Iteveatiow, whose arrival was quite an reddest in Ike prosessil • of the day. The Archbishop of Cam loardoes",the Dias of Windsor, strived m excellent time, sad imme diately proceeded to take their allotted pewees, the Archbishop, Primate of all England, sanding on the north side of the communion-table, end the Dean of Windsor, Chaplain of the Order of the Garter, upon the south, the latter wearing the scarlet robe which indicated his special office. The peeresses and other ladies of rank now began to pour in in numbers, and some amusement was mused by the shifts to which they were obliged to resort in order to reconcile the narrowness of the 7:7with the expansiveness of their draperies. 1: oases a dead lock seemed to be imminent, but the difficulty was got over somehow, and gra dually every seat in the choir was occupied. Now, it might be said that the rather gloomy choir began to look cheerful and brilliant. Many of the ladies wore a humors' of gold or silver tissue, and head dresses sparkling with diamonds. Their dresses were silks and brocades of the richest tex tures and finest colours, and the personal attrac tions of many of them completed the effect of the picture. A great stir was now created by the arrival of the Knights of the Garter, wearing the gorgeous robes of their order. Amongst them we noticed Earl Granville, the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Duke of Somerset, Earl Russell, and arming up last, Lord Palmerston. His lordship looked exceedingly well in his purple velvet mantle, but Deemed to walk with some difficulty as he ascended to his allotted place. About the same time a single Knight of the Bath came in upon the opposite side in ample cloak of crimson satin, but ' the effect was by no means so good as that produced by the regal purple of the higher order. _ A glance round at the nave now also began to discover objects of interest. The whole body of heralds in their rich tabards stood grouped on one aide, and the crimson curtain at the end being par tially raised exposed the glittering groups beyond who were awaiting the signal to advance. Con spicuous in front of these stood the Maharajah Dbuleep Singh, in the richest oriental costume, and if his highness had been placed there with a delibe rate view to theatrical effect he could not have looked to greater advantage. A single sunbeam bad just penetrated the Gothic window over his bead, and lit upon the precious jewel in his turban, making the latter shine like a star, and the wearer for the moment the great centre and object of attraction. Through the same opening came, softened by distance, toe strains of the military bands outside, and these were emulated not very congruously by the orchestra in the organ giillery, themembers of which commenced tuning their instruments, certainly without pro ducing any very valuable addition to the general harmony. The accessories of the picture were now complete, the nave studded down each side with long benches, filled with ladies in gay morning cos tume, the heralds standing in groups at one side, and the distinguished personages who were to form the various processions, visible through the crimson opening ; whilst on the other side, in the choir, every thing was solemn richness and silent expectation. The Knights of the Garter were all in their stalls bidden almost in purple and gold, the Peeresses in the front rows sparkling in diamonds, and at the upper end the eye rested on a magnificent jumble of episcopal lawn, gorgeous church plate, gilded tabou vets, and court functionaries in uniforms elaborately embroidered with gold. About this time attention became concentrated upon the pew known as the royal closet, which was conspicuous over the north side of thecommunion-table. A rumour went round that the Queen had arrived, and on looking towards the closet we saw her Majesty take her seat in front, clad in the deepest widow's weeds, and having only for ornament the Collar and George of the highest order of English chivalry. It is needless to say how deep was the interest with which everyone gazed at this corner of the Chapel. It could easily be seen that her Majesty was deeply moved by the scene which expanded in magnificence at her feet ; and it could be imagined that the royal memory re verted to a similar scene occurring more than twenty years ago, in which her Majesty herself was the centre figure, and in which one who is now no more stood beside her at the altar to claim her as his bride. There was a momentary sadness per vading the whole of that distinguished company ; the same thought seemed to run sympathetically through every mind, and many a tear was shed Wailes those which were obviously falling in the royal closet But the occasion was one of joy and not of satinet., and the martial sound of the trum pet soon recalled attention to the ceremonial of the day. Every eye was turned towards the nave, into which the first procession, that of the royal guests, I was now entering. - _ _ . . . . Of this distinguished list the Danish visitors were of course the greatest objects of curiosity. The Princess Christian of Dimmed( and ber fair daughters, the Princesses Dagmar and Tliyra, were eagerly scrutinised—the magnificent toilet of the elder lady and the personal attractions of the younger proportionably dividing the general ad miration. Some little time was occupied in escort ing these royal personages to their appointed seats on the haut pas, but so admirable and perfect were the arrangements that not the slightest confusion or unnecessary delay occurred. The hunt pas was very soon completely covered with rich robes and brilliant uniforms. At this moment we noticed the Lord Chancellor approaching the haut pas, and shortly afterwards the Lord Mayor of London entered the choir, and took his allotted position. After an exceedingly short interval of time the trumpets again sounded in the nave, and the second procession, that of the royal family and the Queen's household, advanced. The Princess Mary of Cambridge, who was the first of the royal personages in this procession, appeared to great advantage. It would be impos sible to imagine a more graceful and dignified pre sence than that of her royal highness, and an audible hum of a tion rose through the interior as she along to the choir, smiling and saluting such friends as shec iced in the galleries. Great interest was also by the junior members of the royal family, the Princesses Beatrice, Louisa, and Helena, and the Princes Leopold and Arthur, The two latter, as they walked along baud in hand in their picturesque Highland costume, appeared to be engaged in close conversation, and to pay very little attention to the gorgeous pageant b 7 which they were surronuded. The Princess Lours of Hers, the " Princess Alice" of the English people's affections, was eagerly watched for and pointed out, and not less interest was created by the entrance of the Crown Princess of Prussia, leading her little sou by the hand. A very varied character was given ['TWOPENCE to this procession by the number of foreign military and court uniforms with which it was interspersed. Precisely at 12 o'clock one of the two great pro motions of the day—namely, that of the royal bridegroom---commenced, and it is needless to add that the interest of the spectators greatly inten sified as the crimson folds of drapery were thrown open and the two kings-of-arms, Norroy and CUrenceux, appeared in the vestibule. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales probably never appeared to so much advantage as upon this important occasion. His royal highness wore over a full general officer's uniform, with the Stars of the Garter and the Indian Order, the magnificent lowing mantle of the order of the Garter, and in it looked a model of youthful grace and manli ness. His step was full of firmness and di gn ity, and his whole carriage that of a prince. His royal highness's supporters, the Crown Prince of Prussia and the reigning Duke of Saxe rim, both also Knights of the Garter, en his royal highness's right band and left, bathe public had no eyeexoept for the Prince, whose aQp and entire deportment received the mod of universal approbation. His royal 1) . *nem lowed gracefsday to the ladies right and le as he along, and with marked reverence to dm Queen es Ise appeemied lim hes* gee. Having arrived there, bis royal highness stood at the communion table, and waited with many a glance towards 'the now the coming of the bride. The entrance of hie royal highness into the choir was the signal for the first music a the day's , progamme. The organ sad the band pealed forth Meudelasohn's March bum 4 *die as his royal highness was being conducted to the hant pas, and remained playing until the trumpets announced the approach of the bride. This, of course, was the lending point of interest in the ceremonial of the day, ae the Prin cess Alexandra had already become Rush a popular favourite that the greatest anxiety existed to see her and judge of ber deportment in the great crisis of her life. It is therefore not surprising that there should be a universal rising from mats and• a general turning of faces towards the nave as the trumpets once more sounded to usher in the pee cession of the bride. Those who had seen her royal bight's.' land flushed and smiling on the previous Saturday at Gravesend, were perfectly astonished at the new and serene character which her beauty had now assumed. Lo ! when she some along with portly pace; Like nobs from her chamber of the met, Arises forth to run her mighty race. Clad all ia white, that seems a virgin beet. Spenser's description fitted her royal highness to the letter, for her tread was perfect in maidenly majesty and dignity, and her pale and intensely thoughtful face showed how conscious she was of the mighty race she had to run. Her royal highness's dress, as befitted a bride, was of pure white silk, covered with wetly lace of the same colour, and a train of unusual length and dimensions was borne by a graceful bevy of bridesmaids ; her royal highness wore a profusion of orange flowers and the neck lace of pearls and diamonds which had beep pre sented to her by the Prince of Wales. It had been generally expected that the bridal neck orna ment would have been the present of the City of London, but even the corporation must admit that the gifts of her betrothed had prior claims upon her royal highness. Her royal highness's august father, Prince Christian, divided the of the public with the Duke of Cambridge; and it was not forgotten that this prince had in former days come as a suitor to Windsor Castle, being then anxious to effect that union of the two royal families of England and Denmark which now was to be oe mented by his daughter's marriage to the Prince of Wales. His royal highness is a line soldierly looking man in the prime of life, and looked ex ceedingly well in his Danish uniform. As the bride entered the choir the band played the march from " Joseph " (Handel). During the advance of the procession of the Bride through the chapel, and previous to the commencement of the marriage ser vice, the band and choir performed the following chorale, composed by the Prince Consort, the words by T. Oliphant, Esq. : This day, with Joyful heart and role, To Hessen be nus'd a nation's pray 'r Almighty Father, deign to grant Thy Um* to the wedded pair. So shell se clouds of sorrow dim The sunshine of their early days. But hapvosm in endless round Shall Mill esoompses all their ways. All remained standing during the performance of the chorale. It did not strike us that the music, either vocal or instrumental, was very effec tive, although in the chorale the chapel choristers had the assistance of Madame Liod (Gold schmidt). The Princess was conducted to her seat on the left side of the bout pas, and the bridesmaids clustered behind her royal highness whilst the Primate and his attendant clergy were preparing to perform the marriage ceremony. Previous, however, to her royal highness taking her allotted seat, she knelt reverently before the altar, and appeared for some minutes to be absorbed in prayer, in which she was visibly joined by her Majesty the Queen, who leant forward, and re mewed with head bowed during the time that the Princess knelt at the altar. The marriage ceremony now commenced, and was, of course, gone through in the same way as it was probably being performed at that moment in half the parish churches of the kingdom, for it is generally understood that all the intending brides of the last month or two had made up their minds to be married on the same day as the Princess Alexandra. The Archbishop read the service with great impressiveness, and with so distinct a voice that many of his words reached the lower end of the nave. There was immense curiosity to hear the Prince and Princess respectively pronounce the momentous " I will," but iu neither case was the public curiosity gratified. So far as the royal couple was concerned the company were obliged to be content with seeing, and nobody we may be sure missed the graceful action of his royal high uess in placing the ring on the finger of his bride. The Archbishop gave his blessing with great earnestness and solemnity, and was heartily joined in it by every person in the church. Whilst it was being delivered her Majesty the Queen knelt and prayed with her bead buried in her handker chief ; and it was not unreasonable to ooujecture that the sorrow of the widow mingled with the joy of the mother in producing the emotion which even the restraints of royal etiquette could not entirely conceal. In another moment the whole of eese this ie im ee pos re in tir g e c d ere eeer mo i nal was y i inthe o e v rd er th e , tt e avariouswhich p theyro- had advanced, and in au incredibly short space of time St. George's Chapel resumed its ordinary still ness and solemnity. After the celebration of the marriage, which was announced by the tiring of guns in the Long Walk of Windsor-pant, the united procession of the bride and bridegroom was formed. The carriages, as they returned from the cere mony, drove at a much more rapid pace than when proceeding to the Chapel Royal, but the applause of the spectators was much more enthusiastic as the Prince and Princess of Wales, united now in the sacred bonds of wedlock, rode in the same carriage. As has been already remarked, the royal Princess looked better and happier, and so likewise did the Prince of Wales. They returned the felicitations , which greeted them along the entire line till they I entered the Castle in the most affable manner. 1 A splendid dijeuner was served in St. George's ball after the ceremony , and as it was known that . the wedded pair would immediately after proceed I to Osborne, the immense throng who witnessed the procession for the moot part lingered about the Cantle precincts, to witness the departure also. Shortly after the time appoints the Prince and. INN.
