PORTSMOUTH, JAR. 25.

But for a few flags and banners hung at intervals
in the sweets of this royal borough, a stronger visiting
Portsmouth to-day might have Imagined It to be a day of
solemn fast and humiliation. All that the local authorities
did to honour the memorable event of to-day wee to requeet
that it might be kept as a public holiday, leithout, however,
providing any public ceremonial or festivity of an official
character. It is true that the bells of the pariah church rang
roarrny at intervals, but their peals were, Noon after mid•
day, interspersed with the sonorous tone of a pluming knell.
The only troops el the garrison reviewed were the men off
duty of the 47th sad ibid West York and North Lincoln
militia regiments; sad their movements wore of an extremely
tedious and uninteresting character. The troops assembled
on the Common shortly after 11 o'clock, and dm► thither a
large canoonmes of people. A bleak sonth-emmealy wind,
however, swept over the plain, sad drove away the spectators
keg before the " review" terminated. The only movements
of the troop appeared to be, first, to form a line two deep, for
illepeetion by the reviewing cam, Lieutenant-Colonel
Faster, of the Royal Engineers, and staff, com-
posed of Lieutaimet-Colostel Conolly end Captain Gordo'
(aldos-dirineep to the Lieut. Governor, General Bcarlett),
Lieut.-Colonel Wright, and Town Major Breton. They
thin marched pest twice in open column, and reformed line.
A sidruffshing party was thrown out from the 47th, and the
militia regiments formed into squares. The latter then Ti-
thed, and the 47th finally reformed lbw and fired a jut de
joie. The militia regiments, which compose the major
strength of the garrison, have not yet, it appears, become
sufficiently accustomed to the use of fire-arms to groat of
their firing even blank cartridges on an marks like the
present. The ships In harbour dared is odours about
nine o'clock, and some of thae were oho deca-
-1 rated with garlands of laurel end porti-coloured
bunting. The Admiralty yacht Osborne was trimmed
with three very large garlands, one between each must
(hoisted about half-way up), with various coloured
ribbons, which gave her a very gay end pretty appearance•
The only ship in harbour that had the royal standard flying
was the Blenheim. At neon a royal Wets was fired from
the garrison battery, and at one o'clock the ships in commis-
sion in the harbour also gave a royal salute, as well ae the
Diadem and Cameos, out at epithead. The royal standard
war heisted at all the government offices, as wail aa at a
few private establishments. The eneploya at the Dockyard
were prevented from participating in what little celebration
there was. In the evening the official residenoe of the
Lieutenant-Governor and several private dwellings were
illuminated.

LIVERPOOL.—From an early hour the shipping,
both in the Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks, were decorated
with flags, and upon all the public and many of the private
buildings there were similar tokens of loyalty. The Custom
House wee closed, but business in the mercantile ofSces and
shops was conducted se usual. In the afternoon a salute of
tinzaitlize eacdrjonastnebeeto was rledanud grirenkeebteldto. the,
park
under the direction of gunners from her •sty's stdp
Hastings, at present lying in the Mersey. The of
course, fired salutes, and similar acknowledgments was fired

Hall, LiverpooL In the evening the Mayor
about 200 gentlanes, representatives of miens
bodies, local officials, clergymen, to dinner at the en!
hall.

MANCHESTER.—The streets were dreamed with
flags and banners, but there was no holiday. A dinner was
given to the aged poer at the Cheatham Town Hall, and at
Rusholme a dinner was given to the working-cisme in the
Platt Schools, out of a sum of 534 anbecribed for the aces-
Mon. A omen wu to be given at the Free Trade Hall,

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE LICENSE.
The Circumstances attending the inning of this
Important document are somewhat peculiar and interesting.
By an act of parliament passed in the 12th year of the taiga
of George HI., called " An Act for the better liter:ll2
the Future Marriages of the Royal Family," It Is
that " ao deseevAant of the body of his Majesty King
11., male or female, other than the issue of princeliest=
have atented or may hereafter marry Into foreign thodtha,
shall be capable of contracting matrimony without the oar
sent of his Majesty his heirs or successors, eignilled rafter
the Great Sul of England ," and under the provisions of
this sot the royal license was issued from Doctors' Caroms&
This highly interesting document was beautifully .ased
on realm, and presented a marterpros of oleriormehip. To
R was attached the ordinary official seal, the outer
of which was of tinted paper, the better to agree in has
the vellum, and which seal was appended by white milk
ribbon, the ends formed into pretty bows. The document
omemences by ths Archbishop of Canterbury greeting
his " well-baloved in Christ Victoria Adelaide Mary
Louisa, Primer Royal of England, and his Royal
Righters Prince Frederick William Nicolas Charles
of Prussia,' to whom his Grace wishes " health and
In Christ everlasting," and then, after reciting that bee
Majesty wu graciously pleased to consent that her
Highness might contract the holy estate of matrhnonyi
letters under the Great Seal of England, giro on May 1
1867, quotes the portion of the act of parliament given above.
It then again records that her has consented to the
augur alliance, end has si her comsat in due ken,
under her own hand ; and his Once then states that at •
privy council
at Osborne, on May 18, 1857, at which bar
, the Prince ConsOrt, Bari Granville, the Lad Pee-
Idled ; Sir George Grey, Somrary of State for the More,
Department; Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, the Chancellar off the
kichelor ; the Right Hon R. Vernon Smith, President
of the Bowel of Control ; Lord Stanley of Alder*, Prat-
dent of the Board of Trade ; the Right Hon. M. T. Beres,
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster; and Earl trer,
Lord Steward, were present, her Majesty declared t
she
gave her consent to the alliance between her rod
beloved" daughter and her now royal hsteheffia
under the Great Seal of England, and that fair
='• commit was entered in the books of the Privy
accordingly. His Grace then reciter that as her
Majesty has directed her royal warrant to him he grants
the license for the performance of the ceremony notwithstand-
rag that the usual oaths be lot taken previous to Its imeue, he
being " assured there are no impediments to the contraction
of the alliance." The tonal form of a special license then
follows, to the effect that hisTirace grants the license and
faculty to the contracting pram and to all Christian people
willing to be present at the minimization of the marriage, at
say time, or in any church, or chapel, or other right and
convenient place, by any bishop of the realm, or any rector,
vicar, curate, or chapter clench church, or chapel, or by any
other ministerin holy orders About a fortnight since her
Majesty's warrant was tranamitted to the =ma department
of Doctors' Common; and the Queers Proctor delivered the
royal license at Buckingham Palace last week.

TEE PRINCESS ROYAL.—The following letter
was addramed last week by the Very Reverend the Dean of
Winchester to the mayor of that city, in answer to a request
to attend a reestleg reeperedng the mierrbge el the Princess
Royal :—" Dismay, Tan. IL—De
esMr. Mayor,—lf I had
not withdrawn from attending public meetings, and of taking
se waive part is public business, I should have felt it to be
my duty to they your summons, and to join the inhabitants
likcenting aloyal address to our gracious Queen and the
Coined, on the approaching =map of Primes
Royal with Prins Frederick William of Proraten
dons event hailed with increased gratification throughout
length and breadth of the country. I may, however, remark
to you that there was something in the recent hurried visit of her
Royal Highness to this city, which Is interesting and affect-
ing, and which may possibly escape general observation. She
came hither, accompanied only by the Duchess of Athol, without
notice and without ostentation, to visit our city, once the
capital of England, and the city of royalty, feeling deter-
to take a quiet view of our magnificent
monument of ancient piety before she had quitted
her native country-1 had almost mid her native
county—to spend the remainder of her life in a distant and
foreign land. She came in such haste, and in a hired
carriage, only a few minutes after the announcement by
telegraph, giving no time to the
an
and Chapter to make
the requisite preparations for her reception, suitable to her
high rank, or for the people of Winchester to express their
loyal and unqualified attachment to the Throne. It was my
duty to her about the cathedral, and in that short
interview I could at once disoover a precociousness of intel-
lmt, a strength of mind randy to be found in the female
character, especially at her tender years. She pointed out
some of the most remarkable and beautiful parts of the
mehles, and took some pains to make out and *maim a
senteme of Left almost obliterated with almost the same
=and zeal of an investigating and erudite
I will say no bathmo eartiy join you all
is ardent wishes that, by the blessing of God, she may enjoy
a long and uninterrupted course "o health and happiness,
and that her talents, her virtues, and accomplishments may
be duly appreciated by a foreign people, over whom she is
destined at some ?attire period to preside, showing them by
her own bright example that as =Wigton of modal and
domestic duties are the only source of true Itts, and in
practising that right line of conduct in everything for which
her royal parents are so eminently die and by
which they mil ever reign and live in the hearts of their
faithful and devoted snhjects.—l ems* dear Mr. Mayor,
• sincerely your., T. OA 11r7 1111."
Tile ROTA!, BRIDEGROOM'S PRESENTS.—A letter
from Berlin says :—" The nuptial present destined by Prince
Frederick William for his royal bride consists of a pearl neck-
lace of unusual beauty and costliness; the necklace consists
of thirty-two Urge Oriental peseta, pronounoed by emu:ile-
ums to be rmMuibly pure, and the larger of which, those
towards the centre, are of the size of a hazel-nut ; the cost
of this little collection, which has been completed onljai
of that great diligence during o lengthened period, is
to be 28,000 thalers (4,2001.) For mix ladies, who have been
the companion' and Mends of the Princess Royal hitherto
(whether these ladies are the same as those selected by the
ta"mto officiate as her bridesmaids I have not heard),
Priace takes with him six golden bracelets, con-
sisting of a broad rich band of gold, bearing a shield on
which is mounted a Prussian eagle, the wings of which are
inermted with diamonds. The Princes., of Pruada has also
had a sit of disinond and turquoise ornaments arranged with
amellsit tests as her present to the Princess Royal. An-
ether present, detained for the Bishop of London by the
Prince, is • copy of the New Testament printed in folio by
the celebrated firm of Decker, in Berlin, which formerly en-
joyed the monopoly of printing all State documents. This
tom k mu got up by this firm in 1940, at the fourth cente-
nary of the invention of book printing celebrated here in
