THE MARRIAGE OP THE PRINCENA MART.

The interest which the country takes in all that relates
to the happiness of the royal family will, says the Post, be
to-day expressed in the congratulations offered to a Princess
who has won not only the re-pea and admiration of those
who have been permitted to approach her, but a wide pope.
larity which, if sometimes given impulsively, is only retainedt
as in the present instance, by conduct which commends itself.
Contracted on conditions which morally guarantee domestic
felicity, the mairisge of the Princess Mary of Cambridge
may be properly regarded as as auspicious event. It is
matter of satisfaction that Prince de Teck brings to the
union qualities which illustrate high rank. The pleasure
experienced will also be enhanced by the circumstance
that in changing her estate in life the Princess is not about
to change her country.
