The Count and Countess de Paris at
Twickenham.
Yesterday afternoon the public reception of the
Count and Countess de Paris (whose recent oaf',
riage at the Kingston Roman Catholic Chapel
be well remembered) took place at York ficlse'
Twickenham, on their return from spending the
honeymoon. In order to welcome them home wit
proper rejoicings a subscription had been previously
G
made among the inhabitants of Twickenham, andga
committee appointed (of which the Bev' . -0;
Master, the vicar, was chairman) for the ParP,"e
decorating the approaches leading to York Houser
their future home.
Great preparations had been made in the village
for the entry of the Count and Countess,and Church'
street and the various roads leading to the house
were decorated with flags, banners, and mottoes,
while the approaches nearest the mansion were gal
with coloured poles, ornamented with shields bear-
ing the arms of the ex-royal family of France, the
flew, delis being every where conspicuous. A tri-
umphal arch, formed of flowers, banners, and escut-
cheons surmounted by the word " Welcome" la
large letters, and crowned with a coat of arms and
coronet, had been constructed, while from the poles
already mentioned hung bright garlands of flowers
and streamers of every hue, forming, with the ira4
mense crowd of spectators which had assembled
near the entrance, a gay and lively scene.
Shortly before four o'clock the members of the
committee, consisting of the Rev. G. S. Master, Mr
H. G. Bohn, and other gentlemen, took up a posi-
tion near the gate of the mansion in order to pro
sent an address, while near the spot the band of the
16th South-West Middlesex Volunteers were stem
tioned, and agreeably diversified the proceedings -
with their music.
A few minutes afterwards the Count and Countess
de Paris arrived in an open carriage amid merry
peals of bells from the parish church and a
royal salute of 21 guns fired from the ait. °3 •
reaching the gate the carriage was brought to a
standstill, while the Rev. G. S. Master read an
address of congratulation and welcome.
The address, which was engrossed on fine vel-
- and beautifully illuminated, was then presented
to the count, who, in a speech which could hardly.
be heard from the noise of the cheering, returned
thanks, and trusted that he and the countess would
enjoy that happiness the wish for which had been
so kindly tendered by the inhabitants of Twieke"
ham. Mr Bohn then read a history of York Notre,
which was also handed to the count, after which
Mrs Master and Miss Bohn presented the Coun-
tess de Paris with two bouquets of choice flowers,
which were most courteously received, and the
carriage immediately afterwards drove through the
count
triumphal arch to the mansion, where the
and countess alighted and prcceeded to the ivy'
covered wall of the river front. In the niteath"r

numerous flags and banners; and on the appear-
ance of the Count and the Countess de Paris_
and the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier
cheering was excessive. Each child was afterwards
e
presented with a fourpenny piece in memory of the
event ; and the proceedings of the day were agree
