THB ROYAL MALLUGH

Tat WEDDING CAlltlAGES.—Meilart. Hooper and
Co., the coach-baiklera, of the Haymarket, yesterday invited
as to • private rnspeotkm at two of the dram carnage' that
are being prepared in their feetory for the wedding of the
Prinoess Royal. It may be seen at the first glance that the
designer of these vehicles was directed rather to adhere to
those principles of construction which experience has proved
to afford the greatest amount of convenient,' and comfort
than to strain after novelty of effect. They present none of
those features of airy lightness or elaboration of ornament
which some tastes associate with vehicular elegance ; on the
matnry, the characteristics of their general design may
be mkt to be simple maguidonce and solid grandeur,
while the internal arrangements and decorations—
the rich satin damask liwngs, and the large springy
cushion' which form the seats, Molts, and sides—
and beyond all, the almost bled-like balance with
which the capacious bodies rest upon their ample "prior,
engin ideas of that luxurious we which the vulgar opinion
Invarably scoords to the regal rank. The wheels and axles of
both terries's are of the ordinary bright vermilion colour,
richly picked out with gold ; the bodies are of purple lake,
herbs the royal arms emblazoned upon the doors, and the
cam and the insignia of the order of the Garter upon the
gamic meek, and the four corners are surmounted by the
roysiartiwa of England. The royal arms in gold upon a
also on each side of the wide-epresding
Mound appear
4-1:1Li. As, however, there is no quartering
of the Prusdao armorial besting" in any put of the embla-
ecomnits or decorations, the inference is that these carriages
are KM Intended permanently for the use of the Prince..,
bat that they will remain in this country as a portion of her
Majesty's state equipage. The internal lining', in one in-
stance, are of amber damask, and in the of drab
corded and watered AA.
