Tan BILIPAdi ADDRIBBIZI TO Till PRINCI 07
WISSIL—The Belfast oddness presented to their Royal
Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, at Marl-
barongb.house, yesterday, were four in number, and were
respectively from the town, the corporation, the Q aeon's Ool-
legs, and the students of the Queen's and Presby-
terian Oollegea The addresses, which are from the
hands of Messrs. Marcus Ward and Co., of Donegan-
pine, Belfast, are not illuminated on one large
sheet, but on beyond pages of a book. These pegs an of
vellum, and are enclosed in bindings which far excel
is point, not only of beauty, but of art and of
execution, any that were exhibited either by
Englishmen or foreigners at the Exhibition of last
year. The style of the interior illumination is that
of the medieval mimesis, with ornamental borders,
iaitials, vignettes, and medallions. The binding and illu-
mination of the fast volume, containing the address of the
inhabitants, has been prenoted to the town by Maim
Ward, as a token of their loyalty, and as their tribute to
the general offering. Preceding the title-page of this
volume is a drawing in distemper of the town, the view
being surrounded with a wreath of the flax plant and
flowers suggestive of the maple trade of the locality.
The title-page is a marvel of illumination, its gorgeous-
ness being only equalled by its exquisite fate and finish.
The mottoes at the top of the pages are from a
poem by Mr. Francis Davis, the local poet, and
those surrounding the medallion at the foot are from the
laureate's Ode. Then inedsllioos ere in the purest style
of art. The characters are early English, and the borders
surrounding the text are chain and elegant. The corpora-
tion address is equally tasteful. The tribute from the
students, the binding of which is an offering from the
Hewn. Ward, who are Waders to the Queen's College, is,
in point of style and effect, next to that of the inhabitants;
and it is vary closely approached by that from the autho-
rities of Queen's College. This volume is a beautiful speci-
men of artistic haodlwork.
