In the " Coronation Sun," which all our readers have seen, some details of the education and entrance into public life of this illustrious Princess are given. There is, therefore, no occasion to advert to them further. Our only object in the present publication is to celebrate the auspicious event which we announced more than twelve months ago. All our Contemporaries at the time professed to disbelieve the statement, and some of them contradicted it on what they called authority, 'We knew they wanted the only authority entitled to credit, and we, therefore, take some pride in having been the first to communicate to the public an al liance which has spread such joy throughout the land. The alliance between the Houses of Brunswick and Coburg has now existed for more than one hundred Years. In 1736 the Prince of Wales, father of George was married to Augusta, Princess of Saxe Gotha, who consequently was great grandmother of the Queen. This new alliance between the two houses has been formed under the most auspicious circumstances. The illustrious parties have been long intimately acquainted ; they have had ample opportunities of ascertaining the temper and habits of each other ; in childhood they frequently read from the same book, and, from all ac counts, the attachment and esteem are mutual. Her Majesty bas received the best education, moral as well as literary ; ; and all parties in the State have paid the highest and justest compliments to her excellent mother for her indefatigable and anxious care to render her illus trious daughter worthy of the first throne in the world. The education of Prince Albert has been conducted with equal care, and latterly, no doubt, with a view to the Important station which Providence destined him to fill. Her Majesty is well versed in the elegant arts. Her deportment, whether in the Royal closet or on the Throne, has frequently called forth universal appro bation ; and the manner in which she announced the Prese n t h appy un i on to her Pr i v y Council and - to her P arliament, has only increased the respect and affec tionate love of all her subjects, who cordially pray that bar marriage may be happy, and her reign long, pros perous, and peaceful.

Prince Albert Francis Augustus Charles Emanuel of Saxe Coburg Gotha, was born on the 26th of August, 1819, and received the first rudiments of his education in the Castle of Erenburg. When in his eleventh year he became a visiter of the Duchess of Kent at Kensington Palace, and received lessons in language, music, and the arts, in the company of his illustrious cousin. He remained in England at that time for upwards of fifteen months, and then re turned to Germany. He studied at the Univer sity or Donn, wnere ne - distinguished himself by diligence in literary pursuits, amiable manners, and propriety of conduct. He is, like his Royal Con sort, fond of music, and has also composed some poetical pieces, which are not without merit. After finishing his studies at Bonn, he visited this country in 1838, and afterwards travelled in Italy, accompanied by the Baron Stockmar, and in the month of October last again arrived in England, when the arrangements for this alliance were finally settled. All accounts, from the handsome eulogium of the Duke of Cambridge in the House of Peers to the numerous reports from the Continent, agree in assigning to him a high character for moral worth and agreeable manners. He belongs to a family illustrious for deeds in arms, encou ragement of the liberal arts, and immortalized by the noble stand it made against the Emperor Charles V. and the Pope, in defence of the Protestant religion. His ancestors, as Margraves of Mesnia, Landgraves of Thuringia, and Counts of Witten, held a distin guished place among the Princes of the German Empire. The greatness of the family may be said to have been founded and consolidated by Frederick, surnamed the Warlike, who became Duke and Elector of Saxony, when the Ascanian line was extinct on the death of Albert 111., in 14 0 3. This Prince was named, by the Emperor, High Marshal and Vicar of the Empire ; and in addition to the military achievements which procured for him the surname above-mentioned, he was an en lightened patron of commerce, art, and literature. In his time the Universities of Erfurt and Leipzig were founded ; and thus, by the encouragement which he gave to knowledge and learning, the soil was prepared in his dominions for the reception of the blessed seed of Reformed Truth.
