LONDON : MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1840. HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE. --~~ On this day, when the minds of nearly the wholo people are given up to festive thoughts, .oust plunge into the same stream, and say a few words of her MA- JESTY'S marriage. This day has made her, MAJESTY, so far as the na tural relations of affection can overcome the artificial rehtions of society, dependent or another. She has given up that youthful liberty, which however joyous, is less sweet than mutual dependence and mutual kind ness. She has changed the freedom of sprightly youth, for the coaling restraints cf staid and matronly years. She has vowed at the altar to love and obey another human being, and though still our Queen, is no longer exclusively her own mistress. That great change in her situation must be the fountain whence flow our observations. Henceforth Prince ALBERT, though constitutionally he is nothing, will be considered morally responsible for many of her MAJESTY'S actions. To her people it is a subkct of great satisfaction to know that her MAJESTY, casting aside the claims of etiquette, has wedded the hus band of her choice; and that in all respects, as far as the human character can be developed at his time of life— suitableness of age, excellent bringing up, considerable natural abilities, a handsome person, and many useful accomplishments—Prince A LBERT is worthy of the QUEEN. To hope too much from him could only lead to disappoint ment ; but certainly the nation will expect great attention —not to say undeviating devotion—to the Lady who has ele vated him, and the most assiduous care which a hus band can take of the interests and affections of a wife. The nation, not demanding from Prince ALBERT more than an accomplished and weli-educated man can perform, will nit forgive him if the happiness of her MAJESTY, with ;chick he is charged, should suffer in his keeping. Though her MAJESTY'S reign has been short, it has already become distinguished. She is the first Sovereign of her race who has ascended the throne free from the sectarian prejudices which were so sedulously inculcated in her predecessors, and the first who reigns over a com lettly united people. The three first GEmeEs were the Kings of a sect and a party—the fourth GEORGE and WILLIAM IV., were the reluctant and unwil- ling instruments of the transition to a complete fusion of the people ; but her MAJESTY knows no dis tinction of sect or creed, and is the Queen of the whole free and tolerant nation. Since her acession t she has acted up to this character, and carried out the grea principle which sbe found for tbe first time established on her We might dilate on many similar topics —we must, however, content ourselves with saying; that since the ac cession of the House of Brunswick to the Throne, the career of England has been eminently glorious among the nations. we look not to her wars, not to her triumphs in arms, but to her immense and sublithe discoveries in geography, in chemistry, and, in short. in all the sciences, and in the mechanic arts, which havo a 4 once made her the benefactress of mankind, and esabied her to send her colonies, and fix her name and language in many larids of which the existenoe was not dreamed when the first GEORGE was called, to the Throne. It may not ba our destiny that the next century and a-half should be equally rich its useful progi•ess, and equally gle- rious in sublime discoveries. But Prince ALBERT is to be the father off' a new race of • Sovereigns, and their reputa tion will much depend upon the future even exceedink the past. At a new epoch—the foundation of a new dynasty, it may be allowed us to look at the principal characteristic of society. The great multitude is everywhere awake, and becoming sensible both of their power and their rights. If the reign of the Brunswick dynasty have been eminent for vast diF.coveries in the physical sciences, it may be anticipated from this awakening of the people that the next century will be distingushad for its moral and social improvements. The beginnin of the reign of VICTORIA, notwithstanding some drawbacks, is of happy augury to this social progress; and if Prince ALBERT should possess any of that most useful knowledge which teaches Princes to,go with the current of human affairs, in stead of directing or thwarting them, we may look for even greater triumphs for society—but moral triumphs— under the COBURG DYNASTY, than under the Housß of BRUNSWICK. Such is our wish on this day. We hope that after times may look on it with similar feelings to those of the present time, and call it an auspicious day, and bless the almost unexampled circumstance of mutual affection dic- sting a Royal Marriage, as the Inginning of a new and happier state for mankind. We tuM that 'the union, which appears farmed to give happiness to the individuals, may realise the warmest and proudest expectations, and be the harbinger of &eat improvement in all the domes tic affections, in all the charities of life, and of many ages of uninterrupted, peaceful, national progress. Madrid letters and Papers of the Ist inst. have reached us. The Mini , ters mill have a majority in the New Cortes. The capital was tranquil. f ile Five per Cents. were at 28 for cash. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all been received. The Temps states that the Duke of SAAR COBURG-GOTHA will proceed from Landon to Paris to arrange, in the name of his brother, the dowry of the Princess VICTOIRB of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the affianced bride of the Duke DE NEMOURS. The marriage is to take place in April. According to a Gorman journal it will be celebrated at Brussels. Lord BROUGHAM arrived Paris on Fritlay night. A motion of M. GAUGIER, for excluding public lune- tionaries, placemen, and pensioners fromi seats in the French Chamber of Deputes, was lost by a majority of twenty-fear votes—there being 174 votes for the motion, and 198 against it. The Moniteur states that since 1810, 64,587 slaves have been set free in the French colonies. An express from the French Consul at Barcelona, dated the 30th ult., states " that three Aratian privateers were cruising to the east of Cape de Gat (province of Almeira), and that three merchantmen were compelled on the 23i ult. to seek protection under the leitteries of Fort San Pedro. - The" Eastern question contir.uca to excite intense -in terest in Paris.. The Paella . of i 3 reported to have declared to the French and English Consuls that he will put all to the decision of the sword, and that nothing shall induce him to yield a hand's-breadth cf territory.

LORD BROUGHAM AND THE KENDAL ME CHANICS.—A vote of thanks to Lord Brougham was passed at a general meeting of the members of the Kendal Mechanics' News-room, on Monday night last. The following is a copy of the letter whi .h was written to his Lordship by the Secre tary, in the name of the subscribers :—" Kendal, Feb. 4, 1840. My Lord,—At a meeting. of the Kendal Mechanics' News-room last night, a v.,te of thanks was unanimously passed, for your Lordship's straightforward and manly conduct in Parliament during the p•esent Session. With the expression of my own thanks to your Lordship, for your Lordship's preciable services to the labouring classes of this kingdom, I beg to subscribe myself your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, dAstEs SPEnDING, Secretary.

She hari admitted her subjects to office without distinction of creed; and his set an ca. ample which after times must itnitate and carry further, On this point Prince ALBERT wili be fully ready to sup-. port her MAJESTY. Bred up in the enlightened principle, of tolerant Germany, he will confirm her wise resolutions while he and she humbly rely on their own faith—not to question the faith of others. Notwithstanding the apparently litege Civil List which was settled on qmen VICTORIA, far purposes of State, her MaJasry is known to be a judicious economist. She has paid her father's debts; she has taken on herself the en gagements her mother contracted in bringing her up ; she has made a handsome allowance to the children of her late uncle, cud predecessor; she has pai3, out of her own funds, all the pensions of the old servants of the Royal Family ; she has encouraged the arts, and withal she has saved money. In our country economy is a much prized virtue, and Prince ALBERT will be aware that to secure for her NlarEsry the love of her people, and even the safety of her Throne, he must not suffer this bright feature of her MAJESTY'S character to be tarnished. TIIE SUN, LONDON, Nroxruy, FEBRUARY 10, 1840. A nit lA, E QUEEN VICTORIA 10TH FEBRUARY, 1840. Quo° FAIISTUM FELIX QUE SIT. As soon as the light broke on the morning of this auspicious day, the metropolis presented in every district all the ellarac teri.aies that mark the opening of a universal and joyous holt &ay. Crowds were hastening from all parts i n th e di rect i on o f the Royal Pal aces; an d audible prayers for a " fine day" were uttered with childish fervour by the most aged and the gravest amongst them. Flags waved from lines suspended across the, streets, or fluttered against the staffs erected for the occasion on the roofs of the most prominent houses, as well as on every tower and spire. In several places in Lambeth, Southwark, the Tower hamlets, and the City Road, mimic masts were set up, having their stays decorated., after the manner of ships in gala dress, with the flags of all nations prettily intermingled with " True Lovers' knots," and festoons of white roses. Several ships upon the river wire decorated in the same novel and appropriate style. In St. James's Park, the area in front of Buckingham Palace, and the avenue leading from thence to the garden entrance of St. James's was densely thronged before eight o'clock, rnd the rain which fell after that time caused no sen sible diminution of the crowds, fen- as far as the en deavour of one body of the. eager visitors gave way their places were filled by the fresh numbers which were every minute arriving. At BUCKINGTIAM 'PALACE. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the twelve Bridesmaids were in attendance upon her Majesty at an early hour. The Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Ma ey, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, the Duchess of 'Cloue ;s t er' and the Princ ess Au gusta also arrived early at th e P a l ace , and were admitted to her Majesty's private apartments. The Ladies ©f the Bedchat nber, the Maids of Honour, the Pages, Equerries, and the pr 4 .neipal Officers of State, took their places according to their rank, in the suites of rooms and galleries leading from the Queen's atartments to the grand hall. ST. J..A'NLES'S PARK, From Palace to Palace, was the scene of some merriment, when the cessation of the rain, about 11 o'clock, allowed the vast assemblage of people to avail themselves of the arrange ments which the police had made, and steadily preserved the whole morning, to give every one a f a i r c h ance o f en j oy i ng the sight. for the sa k of which not a little fatigue and inconve nience had been undergone. The speculations in chairs, tables, counters, benches, and the other elements ofportable platforms, were not allowed to obstresat with their lumber, any part of the space between the triumphal arch of Buckingham Palace and the Royal Gardens' Gate, in the Mall. But several adven turous Irish, wishing to evade the vigilance of the police, slily dropped their benches and chairs over the railing of the Green Park, within which they had been permitted place them, and on having set up business within the forbidden space, some found customers, who however were as rapidly displaced by the police, to the great entertainment of the people to wham the obstruc tion was a very vexatious annoyance. All could not be accom modated with platforms to stand upon, and if such erections had been permitted, every person who was so fortunate as to get a place upon them would interrupt the sight of at least fifty others who could not be _equally accommodated. Groups of men and bays climbed the trees which line the avenue in the Mall. Many of them were displaced by the breaking of the branches of the aged elms on which they sat. These were saved from much hurt, by coming upon the heads and shoulders of the dense crowd below. The others were re •- suaded to descend in a less experimental manner ; gentle hin s from the bayonets of the Grenadier Guards, who were in du y on that spot, and who seemed to toil enough to reach •he m )st daring of the acrobats. The comparative fineness of the noon, and the happy associations of the day, diffused a gen(ral feeling of gaiety and good-humour throughout the immense multitude, and, at twelve o'clock, when the ROYAL BRIDE'S PROCESSION began to move through the triumphal arch, a shout of cordia and affectionate greeting rent the air. The cheers of the men and the women's fond and audible aspirations of sympathy con tinued, until the royal salute of 21 guns announced that THE QUEEN was entering- her carriage. A respectful (and :t must be said) an affecting silence ensued, for which we can well ac count in the deep and affectionate sympathies of her assembled subjects. But when she appeared amongst them beyond the precincts of the Palace. she was hailed with acclamations of love and loyalty, which seemed to affect her so much that tears might better express the intensity of her feeli ngs than even the w i nn i ng sm il es s h e wore as she re pressed h er emotions. The cries of " Gon Btass TIER !" which burst upon her ear from every side, evidently aff ec t e d her. It i s , per h aps, l i ttle worthy of remark, that in this most touching scene of happiness and joy, as in Barry's picture of Elysium, there was a small corner occupied by the malignant, from whom a faint cry of tortured envy was indistinctly heard. The Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex, and the Duchess of Kent and Lord Melbourne were recognised, and wer e parti cularly cheered. The procession pass-d on to the Garden Entrance of- ST. JAMES'S PALACE, fly which her Majesty proceeded, up the Grand Stair-ease, to the Queen's Closet or Privy Council Chamber, immediately behind the Throne-room, where she remained till the order of the Procession was arranged in front of the Throne, of which her Majesty received notice from the Lord Chamberlain. This occupied nearly half an hour, during which the cheering continued on the outside of the Palace with unabated vehemence. Prince Albert's portion of the procession moved first, pre ceded by the Lord and Deputy Chamberlain, who • conducted his Royal Highness to the Chapel, where he remained on the right hand side, or left of the altar. The Lord Chamberlain and Deputy Chamberlain then returned to her Majesty, and having taken their prescribed positions, her Majesty's proces.• lion advanced—preceded by music, and guided by the officers of the Earl Marshal. The procession passed through the following apartments, in each of which _Ate snys ziels an a concerved.' — ''lr" was - remarked that the deportment of her Majesty united in a singular and striking manner the dignity and self-passession that became her cha racter and station, and a graceful modesty which would adorn the humblest of the thousand brides who this day pledge their vows at the same hour throughout her dominions. The route of the procession was through THE THRONE-ROOM, on. PRINCIPAL DRAWING ROOM. Here the members of the Royal Family, the Great Officers of State, and such other persons as accompanied her Majesty to the Chapel, assembled, and took their places in the order pre scribed in the programme of the ceremonial prepared by the Earl Marshal. THE ANTE THRONE-ROOM. The procession of the Bridegroom, Prince -Albert here as sembled, and were duly placed by the officers of the Earl Marshal. The folding-doors between these rooms were kept closed till all was in readiness. f or ms the last of th e su it e o f rooms fronting St. QUEEN ANNE'S DRAWING-R OOM, JamesWl tieh ,s Park. In this seam, th roug h w hi ch the procession first moved, raised amphitheatrical seats had been erected, which were covered with crimson cloth, and which were con structed in a semi-circular form, extending from the folding. doors of the Ante Throne-room to the door of THE GUARD CHAMBER, On the left of which a succession of seats, with rail in front, also covered with crimson cloth, had likewise been erected. Through this chamber, which was hung with ancient tapestry, the Procession passed to THE ARMOURY, Where seats for spectators were also provided ; and thence to THE GRAND STAIRCASE, In front of which, and on the side, seats again met the eye; so that, throughout the interior ot the Palace, euery spot from spectacle cou ld b e. comman d e d ha il for the redeptiO n o t suc h persons to obtai n ti c k ets f rom t h e L or d aswere Chambewhencerlain beenfortunatet assiduously a o f h ntit,heaens enough all lagl devoted t persons were in full dress, the scene was at once brilliant and impo s i ng . D own the Great Stair ease advanced to the ancient entrance of the State Apartments, and so into TIIE C.)LONNADE IN THE COLOUR QUADRANGLE, leading to the Chapel. Here an ieclosure had been constructed, extending into the Court-yard, which was covered over, and fitted up with seath seats one above another, capable of receiv ing about 360 persons. These seat s were lined with crimson cloth, and the whole of the Colonnade was plain stone colour, in accordance with the interior of the building. The original intention of performing the service in the evening was abandoned, three extensive lanterns, or sky-lights, were introduced into the roof of the Colonnade, and a large windows were opened in the back of the inelosure, so that ths broad glare of day were freely admitted, and fully displayed the splendour of the passing scene. The old flagged way of the Colonnade has been taken up, and the earth removed, so as to reduce the surface to a perfect level with the vestibule of the Palace and the floor of the Chapel. Tile gorgeous effect of the procession in passing through this splendid l anise of apartments, crowded with beauty and fashion, surpassed anything we ever saw. About 2,100 tickets were issued, and notwithstanding' the im partiality of th,i Lord Chamberlain, it may be supposed that he did not succeed in satisfying all 10 applied-me them. - - At half-past nine, when we entered the chapel, there were comparatively few seats occupied in the gallery, andmorm in the pews below. Among the earliest arrivals were the Duke of Leeds, Lord Monteagle ' Sir William Somerville, M.P., who seconded the Addre ss t o her Majesty in the House of Commons, and Lady Seymour, looking still a t' Queen of Beauty," in a magnificent robe of imperial purple velvet. Lord Adolphus Fitzelarenee was in the west gallery, on the left of Lady Seymour ; next to him was Lord ,Seymour. In the east gallery we observed the Vice-Chancellor and Lady Langdale,. Sir Nicholas Tyndall, the Attorney-General and Lady Stretheden, Mr. E. J. Stanley', M.P., Lady Mary Fox, Lord and Lady Denman, SirWillought4Gordon, the Marquis of Northampton, the Countess of Cowper (Lady Paltnerston), Mr. Edward Ellice. In the Ambassadors' Gallery, facing the altar, among the first arrivals were the American Minister and Mrs. Mrs. Van de Wey e r, C ount and Countess Stevens o n, the Turkish Ambassador, th e P r i ncess E ster- I h l a j z o y r;st A je i t r. n . all a , I : d e Swedieh Ambassador, th e R uss i an Ambassador, Count Sebastiani; a number of others a rr i ve d i n rapid s uccession, and the .south gallery soon p resen t e d a very display olayf of diamond s , s t ars, and decorations. At n the bands ma rc hi ng i nto the Palace-yard l, l ia a s g s t e en d nifi t oc h e'cn e lto c c h id one apel window playing " Haste to the W e ddi ng, " and while a smile mantled on the faces of the ladies, the Arch aud bishoprp oceeded of Cant up eur most appropriately en t ere d the chapel, rb to the altar. At the extreme end of t i ke West Gallery we observed the Right Honourable the Speaker of the House of Commons in his state robes, the Afaeluis of Normanby, the Marchioness of Lansdowne, Lord and Lady Carlisle, the Countess of Burling ton, Lord Morpeth, Lord J. Russell, Lady Clarendon, and Sir J. H.:bhouse. In the lower pew, on the right o f t h e altar, were the Puke of fDe ..boulder, rlee'wtihthe n"gnificent nupt i al favours, depending from e ither Dek e of Bedford, the Duke of Sutherland, an d the - Ladies Sutherland, Mar qu i s o f Westminster, the Duko o f Wellingt on , w h o also wore long bows of white satin ribabtetnn: his Waterl oo me d al, and carried his Field Mar shal's His Grace appearedto form an o bj ec t o f much interest and curiosity to th ose assembled in the Chapel. At half-I'4'l ten almost e very seat in the East and West Gal leries was o C.: l 4pied , and bitter were the complaints among the lat.,: arrivals of being unable to see the anticipated brilliant rapant in the ealle. .11,1 Countess of Durham and Lady I Mary Lambton, the Dachess of Hamilton, and Lady Euston, the Earl of Craven, Lord Holland (upon whom the interesting event appeared to have conferred renewed health and youth), Lady Mary Anne Comptor, Viscount Duncannon, the Mar chioness of Lansdowne and daughter, Lord Palmerston, who wore large bows of white ribbon on either shoulder, and the Hon. Miss Young, were among the last who were able to pro cure seats in the galleries. The Marquis of Anglesea wore a magnificent Russian uni form, and was fortunate enough to obtain the last vacant seat in the pew on the right of the Altar. It was now eleven o'clock, and many of the ladies round us looked rather faint, but certain mysterious-looking tin and glass cups were circulated in various directions, and the effect was magical —eyes brightened and tongues began to wag, and laughter and jest once more went round. THE ALTAR AND HAUT PAS, Which presented the most interesting portion of the ilsy's proceedings, although very limited in extent, had a very splendid appearance. 'The whole was lined with crimson velvet, that portion o'er the communion table hein„, , hung with rich f es t oons o f crimson velvet ethred with gold lace. The gothic pillars supporting the galleries above were gilt, as were the mouldings of the oaken panels, where exposed ; the gothic railing round the communion table was also gilt. The communion table itself was covered with a rich profusion of gold plate, and oa each side was' a stool for the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London. On the left hand side of the altar, and on the Haut Pas, were four stools, with footstools to match, for the reception of their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Sussex and Duke of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester; while on the opposite side were six stools of a like description for the use of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, the two Princesses of Cambi idge, Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Ernest, and the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the parent and brother of Prince Albert. On the left side of the altar, and in front of the four stools we have described, were two state chairs—that next the railing of the altar for her Majesty, and that nearer to th e aisle for her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. On the opposite side were also two state chairs—that next the railing for Prince Albert, and that nearer the aisle for the - Dowager Queen Adelaide ; each of these chairs was pro vided with foot-stools; while close to the railing of the altar were two fold stools for her Majesty and Prince Albert, to be used during the ceremony. The whole floor was covered With a blue and gold pattern carpet, with the Norman rose. The remaining part of the interior, including the pews in the aisle, the seats in the galleries, and Ambassadors' closets, had the appearance of simple oak, with Gothic panels, scrolls and mouldings, the seats being covered with crimson cushions, with gold-coloured edges, and broad gold-coloured-'ffte. The ceiling, which has been refreshed, and was adorned with the arms of Great Britain in various coloured devices and com partments. had a very tasteful appearance, and the light ad mitted from the Gothic window over the altar, and from the windows on each side, gaie a pleasing mellowness to the whole. At eleven o'clock the choristers, preceded by Sir Geo. Smart, took their seats in the organ gallery, and shortly afterwards the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, assisted by the Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of the Chapel, took their places on the right of the communion table. The second pew on the right of the altar was appropriated to the Queen Dowager and suite, among whom were Lady Clin ton, the Hon. Wm. Ashley, &c. Bsc. The Queen Dowager entered immediately afterwards, and took her seat on the right of the state chair appropriated to Prince Albert—all the spectators rose wilier entrance, and her Majesty courtsied at this mark of respect. Now and then a magnificently-attired page - or herald appeared at the chapel-door, to take a peep at the gorgeous spectacle within. Every fsce wore a smile, and every heart throbbed as the eventful hour drew near. The day, which had hitherto been lowering, now brightened up a little, and a gleanrof sunshine, which made its way through the west window, lighted up the chapel with almost preternatural splendour. The pro fusion of diamonds and other gems with which the ladies were adorned—the glittering crosses and decora tions, the costly State-robes, splendid uniforms, 'and wav i ng plumes formed a coup d'ceil of the most magnificent character, and realising the most gorgeous visions of Eastern grandeur or of fairy-land. At half-past twelve the folding-doors of the entrance of the Chapel were thrown open, and immediately afterwards the drums and trumpets in the distance announced the approach of THE PROCESSION OF THE BRIDEGROOM. Drums and trumpets. Sergeant Trumpeter. Master of the Ceremonies. . The Bridegroom's Gentlemen of Honour, between two . Heralds. Vice Chamberlain of her Lord Chamberlain of her Majesty's Household.

Supported by their Serene Highnesses the Reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, and the Hereditary Pihice of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Each attended by Officers of their Suite, namely, Count Holowrath, Baron Alvensleben, and Baron de Lowenfels. On entering the Chapel the drums and trumpets filed off without the door, and the procession advancing, his Royal Highness was conducted to the seat provided for him on the left hand of the altar. His supporters, the Duke of Saxe Co burg and Gotha and the Hereditary Prince, with the Officers of their Suite, occupied seats near Prince Albert. The Master of the Ceremonies and the Officers of the Bridegroom stood near the person of his Royal Highness. His Serene Hi g h ness wore a Field-Marslial's uniform, with large rosettes of white sstin on his shoulders. There was a flush on his brow as he entered the Chapel, while his manly and dignified bearing, and the c)rdial and unaffected manner with which he greeted those of the Peers and Peeresses around him, with whom he had been previously acquainted, won all hearts, and many of those around us either with their lips or hearts pronounced that Prince Albert was a consort worthy of Queen Victoria. On reaching his chair in front of the communion table, his Serene Highness advanced gracefully to the QueeriDowager, and respectfully kissed her hand. He afterwards InWed to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the other Church Dignitaries arolnd him, and remained for some time standing, casting, as it appeared to us, many anxious glances towards the Chapel entrance. The Queen Dowager at length requested his Serene Highness to be seated, and he entered into conversation with her, his father standing behind his chair. The Lord Chamberlain and Vice-Chamberlain, preceded by the drums and trumpets, having returned to attend her Majesty. Her Majesty then proceeded to the Chapel in the following order : THE QUEEN'S PROCESSION.

The Gentlemen-at-Arms remained out side the Chapel door, in the Ante-Chapel, during the cere mony. The Yeoman of the Guard remained at the foot of the staircase, in the Ante-Chapel. during the ceremony. The respective persons composing the procession were con conducted to the places provided for the m, the Princes and Princesses of the Blood Royal to the seats prepar e d f or t h em on the Haut-Pas; and the several ladies attendant upon the Qu‘en to the seats provided near her Alajesty's perm, Her Majesty wore a magnificent lace robe and veil of the most exquisite workmanship. The only ornament on her bead was.a wreath of orange flowers, and a sma ll di amon d p i n, b y which th e nupt i a l veil- was fastened to her hair. Her train was of white satin, with a deep fringe of lace, and she looked the impersonification of dignity, gentleness, and love as she ad vanced up the aisle to the altar. Prince Albert met her Majesty at the Haut pas and. cen du 7ted her'to her seat on the right hand side of the altar. The appearance of the chapel at this moment was extremely animated and interesting. The pursuivants, heralds, pages, and other attendants, all of whom wore wedding favours, occu pied the lower part of the aisle, while the back ground of the picture, a doorway was tilled up l.y officers of the guards on duty, who were grouped i n a compact body, as far as the eye cauld reach, till their waving plumes and steel corslets were lost in the distance. • Immediately around her Majesty's chair, were her twelve Maids of Honour, attired in v i rg i n white, while in th e centre sat her.Majosty, " the leading star of every eye." Prince Albert standing on her right, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent on her left. A little further to the left stood the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Mel bourne, the Lord Chancellor, and the other great officers of State. The Archbishop of Canterbury having advanced to the rails, her Majesty and Prince Albert approached him, and the ser- Nvice commenced:— : -... I require and charge you both. as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment, when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined to gether in matrimony, Ye do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that so many as are coupled together otherwise than God's Word (loth allow, are not joined together by God ; neither is their matrimony lawful. When his Grace came to the words Albert, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wile, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony ? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, anti keep her in sickness and in health ; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live ? His Serino Highness, in a firm tone, replied " I will." And when he said— Victoria, wilt thou have Albert to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony ? Wilt thou obey him, and serve him ; love, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health ; and, forsaking all other, keep thee.only unto him, so long as ye boih shall live? Her Majesty looked up affectionately in Prince Albert's face, and replied, loud enough tobe heard in every part of the Chapel —" I will." The Archbishop then said— Who giveth this woman to be married to this man ? His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex advanced, and taking her Majesty's hand, which he placed in Prince The service then proceeded—his Serene Highness repeating after the Archhishap— I Albert take thee Victoria to my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance ; and thereto I plight thee my troth. Her Majesty then repeated the words— I Victoria take thee Albert to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part, accord ing to God's holy ordinance ; and thereto I give thee my troth, in a manner which plainly showed that the ceremony was one in which her whole heart was interested. Prince Albert then placed the ring on her finger repeating— With this ring I thee wed, with my body I thee wor ship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow ; In the• name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Am2n. The Archbishop then concluded the service as follows 0 Eternal God, Creator end Preserver of all man kind, Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of ever lasting life ; send thy blessing upon these thy servants Victoria and Albert, whom we bless in thy name that, as Isaac and Rebecca lived faithfully together, so these persons may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant betwixt them made, whereof this ring given and received is a token and pledge,) and may ever re main in perfect love and peace together, and live accord ing to thy laws ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Those whom God bath joined together let no man put asunder. Forasmuch as Albert and Victoria have consented to gether in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same be- Tore God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth either to other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving of a ring, and•by join ing of hands ; I pronounce that they be man and wife together. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Gc,d the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve, and keep you ; the Lord mercifully with his favour look upon you ; and so fill you with all spi ritual benediction and grace, that ye may so live toge ther in this life, that in the world to come ye may have life. eveil,isting. Amen. - Our Father which art in heaven ; hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive thew that trespass against us. And lead us not into tempta tion ; but deliver us from evil. Amen. MIN. 0 Lord, save thy servant, and thy handmaid ; ANS.

And as thou didst send thy blessing upon Abraham and Sarah, to their great comfort, so vouchsafe to send thy blessing upon these thy servants ; that they obeying thy will, and always being in safety under thy protection, may abide in thy love unto their lives' end ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. While the service was proceeding, h er M a j esty was observed to look frequently at Prince Albert, who was standing at her side. In fact, she scarcely ever took her eyes off him till she left the Chapel. The service having concluded, the several Members of the Royal Family who had occupied places around the Altar, re turned to take up their positions in the procession. On pass ing her Majesty, they all paid their congratulations, and the Duke of Sussex, after shaking her by the hand in a manner which appeared to have little ceremony, but with cordiality in it, affectionately kissed her cheek. After all had passed, with the exception of the Royal Bride and Bridegroom, her Majesty stepped hastily across to the other side of the altar, where the Queen Dowager was standing, and kissed her. Prince Albert then took her Majesty's hand, and the Royal pair left the chapel, all the spectators standing. While the procession •was proceeding down the aisle her Majesty spice frequently to the Earl of Uxbridge, oho was ors her right hand, apparently giving directions as to the order of the procession. After the ceremony, the procession returned through the suite of apartments already described, her Majesty and her illustrious consort walking hand in hand, and acknowledged with gracious smilos the cheers with which the walls of the ancient Palace now re-echoed, for it mast be observed that. within the Palace there were no acclamations as the pro cassion passed on its way to the Chapel. THE ATTESTATION. On reaching the throne-room, the form of attestation took place, when her Majesty and Prince Albert signed the mar riage register, which was attested by the m e m b ers o f th e ro y a l family and fficers of state present. A splendid table had been .-ra itn-ttia - purpose, and this part of the ceremony, with the magnificent assemblage by which it was wit nessed, presented one of the most auspicious spectacles of the clay. Having remained a short time in the Royal Closet, Her Majesty and the Prince returned in the same carriage from the Royal Garden of St. James's to Buckingham Palace, and the generous greeting which burst from the crowds, whose• numbers the pelting rain had not diminished, seemed to be its a great measure addressed to the ear of Prince Albert, who acknowledged the kindness evidently with deep feeling. WEDDING BREAKFAST. A wedding repast was prepared, at which several of the illus trious participators in the previous ceremony, and the officers of the Household and Ministers of State, were present. It is needless to say that the taste and ingenuity of the confectioners. and table-deckers were prominently displayed at the festival, a splendid wedding-cake forming aprominent object of attraction. The guests invited are the Duchess of Kont, the Duke of Coburg, the Prince Ernest, the Duke of Norfolk, Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, besides a large number of other Peers, five gentlemen of the Duke of Coburg's suite, four of Prince Albert's, and the Maids of Honour to the Queen. Among others present were, the Duchess of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Camb r id ge, Duke of Sussex, Duchess of Gloucester, Prince George of Cambridge, the Princess, Augusta of Cambridg e , t h e Princess Sophia Matilda, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Melbourne, Lord Join Russell, and the Father awl Brother of the Prince. After partaking of the sumptuous dejeune, the Royal Pride_ Party set out for Windsor attended by the military, and on tee read they were greeted by assembled thousands with the same affection and cordiality with the inhabitants of the me ropolis. SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES.-At a meeting held on Thursday evening- last, Mr. J. Gage Rookwood in the chair, the conclusion of a paper by Mr. George Godwin, F.ll. S., on Norman Architectural Antiquities, was read. Coutance's Cathedral, a building of the 13th century (the French antiquaries say much earlier), is a fine specimen oft he first period of the pointed style of architecture. The Castle of Falaise, w he re i n William the Conqueror was born, has been repaired II repaired lately, and forms a fine prospect tower for the y_ meet of the people.
