Followed by
The Lord of the Bedchamber, Groom of the Bed-
chamber, and Equerry-in-Waiting, the Private
Secretary, and Gessammo Usher to his Royal High-
ness the Prince Consort, the Treasurer and Private
Secretary to her Royal Highness the Prinesse Royal,
and the gentlemen in attendance on his Majesty the
King of the Belgians.
All eyes turned with intense interest upon the
bride. Her Royal }lighters wore the magnificent
dress of white and gold moire antique which has
been dread described. Her Royal Hiffhwele wore
no • simple wreath of flowers being her
only head ornament. The King of the Belgians and
the Prises Consort walked slowly by her aide, but
little attention was paid to any but the centre
figure. Her Royal Highness looked extremely
youthful, and wore a phoned expression of
countenance. Her Royal Highness seemed to
bear the embarrassment of the novel position with
much firmness and composure. Next to the royal
bride the fair bevy of bridesmaids attracted
most attendee and admiration. When all
were charming it would be invidious to par-
ticularise, but we could not help noticing the
happy coincideme by which their stators was to
harmonise with that of herilloyal Ilighnees. The
bouquets held by these youog ladies formed, when
they reached the altar, by far its more attractive
ornament.

As each procession entered the chapel a march
was played.
The gorgeous tableau on the Acid pas was now
complete, and the list below of distinguished per.
menages present at the ceremony accurately indicates
the position each occupied in the chapel.
The following gentlemen in ordinary of the
Chapels Royal officiated in the choir :—Meese. T.
Francis, W. Lackey, J. Goss, G. W. Martin, Benson,
R. &ruby, N. Smith, Foster, Machin, Lawler, The.
Whitehouse, and Bennett Sir G. Smart pre-
sided at the organ, misted by Mr. Cooper. The
chorister boys attended with their master, the Rey.
T. Helmore. The following was the order of the
musical part of the service :—Upon the entrance of
her Majesty's procession within the precincts of the
chapel, the organ, sedated by the instrumental band,
performed a march from Handel's " Occasional Ora-
torio." The bridegroom's procession entered the
chapel to a march from Handel's " Joseph ; " and
when the bride entered the grand march from
Handel's Judas ifactabtrua was performed by the
full strength of the orchestra. When the bride had
taken her place by the side of the bridegroom in
front of the altar, and all the guests were seated, the
following choral*, of the date of the 16th century,
was sung:.

'ibis day with gladsome voice and heart,
We raw Thy name, 0 Lord who art
Of all good things the giver:
For Bagload's dzet-born Hope we pray I
Frons hour to hour, from day to day,
Be 011 if her now sad ever I
Ilug of Ehsge—Lord of Lords—
Tashar, saw, and Holy Spirit—
We adore Thaw 1
Haar ea while we hoist Wore Thee

This is not the time or place for musical criticism,
but we eannot refrain from noticing the superb sing-
ing choir, and the marvellous effect of the instru-
mental sumac.

At a quarter to one o'cloek the ceremony of the
marriage was commenced by his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, who read in a low and feeble
tone, which was scarcely audible beyond the Fiala
pas. When the natal demand, " Wilt thou have this
woman," ace., the response of the Prince of Prods
was remarkably clear and distinct. m.
words, " I wilL" spoken in a fine English
smut, wile heard by every one in the chapel.
The answers of the Princess were, of course, uttered
in softer accents. His Royal Highness immediately
afterwards turned to her father, from whose hand
he took the ring, and immediately placed
It on the fourth finger of the lady's left
hand in the usual form. The Archbishop having
given the blessing, the remainder of the service was
read with a fine elocution by the Bishop of London.
Then came a deeply interesting portion of the cere-
mony, namely, the kissing by the bride and bride-
groom of their parents respectively. Her Majesty
crossed the hart pas and kissed the Prince and
Princess of Prussia on the cheek, and the bridegroom
kissed his father and mother, both on the hand and
cheek. The kiss given by the Prince (I'6re) of
Prussia to the bride seemed full of frienoship and
olfaction.

At the conclusion of the ceremosy the fol-
lowing psalm was chanted by the choir with full
orchestral accompaniment et the Gloria Petri :
" God ns asercifel unto na, and bier am end show us the
llght of Ms countenance, sod be merciful auto as.
" That tby way say be ►aced upon earth . thy mein
health among all nation&
