Marriage of the Count de Paris,

Yesterday Louis Philippe Albert d'Orleans, Count de
Paris, the eldest hope of the Orleans family, was married
to his first cousin, the Princess Isabelle of Spain, in the
presence of a most illustrious company, including not only
English nobility and foreign Ambassadors, but many of
the representatives of the old historic names of France who
still adhere in loyalty and hope to the fallen fortunes of the
Orleans dynasty. The marriage was celebrated in the
pretty little Roman Catholic chapel at Kingston, where the
Due de Chartres was married last year, and where many
members of the late Royal family of Franco usually attend
the service of their faith. The interesting event caused no
little excitement all around Kingston, Claremont, and
Esher. In these places the members of the late Royal family
are well known and sincerely beloved. Throughout all
England, indeed, there is a warm feeling of kindliness for
these illustrious exiles, whom political adversity has driven
to seek a shelter among us. Their quiet, unostentatious
dignity, the natural good breeding which leads them to
live our every-day life, has not been without its effect on
the nation among whom these Princes are carefully rearing
the inheritors of their great name. In their position popu-
larity, as popularity, can neither he sought nor avoided. It
is simply by the exhibition of their private virtues that they
have attained less perhaps of popularity in the common
sense of the term than the earnest good feeling, the sincere
respect and esteem of all classes of the community. But it
is, of course, a warmer and deeper sentiment than this
which prevails around their homes, There they are indi-
vidually known—the quiet, simple, elegance of their lives,
the good nature which has led them to accommodate them-
selves to the English taste for hunting and shooting, and,
above all, the munificent liberality which they extend to
all the charities of the neighbourhood, have won the
.-hearti! Ilt-th9Se Arllo4, whom they titcep,
,Frazwe its
does not contain more ultra- Orleanitit "villages than
those around Claremont, where the good deeds of the exiled
family are daily seen or heard of, and where there are few
who have not personal knowledge of some kindness done or
gracious act of courtesy extended.

As was to be expected, then, the marriage at Kingston
yesterday was made a gala day for all the country round.
The little church is not capable of accommodating very
many. Certainly, if it were twice the size it would not have
held all who were anxious to be present on this solemn oc-
casion, It was, however, so arranged that it could contain
those who were invited to the wedding—some hundred or
more illustrious guests; but this was all. The less dis-
tinguished spectators—made up pretty equally with regard
to numbers of French ladies and gentlemen, and ladies and
gentlemen of the surrounding neighbourhood—were accom-
modated under a long, handsome portico awning, draped
with crimson, which had been erected for the occasion, and
which led from the carriage road into the porch of the little
church. Every part of this portico was early thronged, so
that there was scarcely room even for the beautifully-
dressed children who were placed on either side with baskets
of flowers to strew under the feet of the young bride and
bridegroom. The chapel inside was very prettily decorated,
and so as to correspond with the simple but effective details
of its architecture. In front of the altar were two prie-dieux
for the royal bride and bridegroom ; immediately behind
them two chairs of state, one for the mother of the young
bride, Marie Louise Fernande, Duchess de Montpensier,
and sister of the Queen of Spain; the other seat for the
venerable Marie Amelie, the last Queen of the French, who
was that day to leave her habitual seclusion and sanctify by
her presence the union of her grandchildren.
The ceremony was fixed to take place at half-past ten,
and of course, therefore, much before that time those hon-
oured with invitations to the chapel began to take their
places. Among others were the Spanish Minister and
Madame Comyn, the Belgian Minister and Madame Van
de Weyer, the Italian Minister, the Austrian Ambassador
and Madame Apponyi, the Prussian Ambassador and the
Countess Bernstorff, the Bavarian Minister, the Portuguese
Minister and the Countess Lavradio, the Saxon Minister,
his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the
Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, the Earl and
Countess Russell, Prince Ferdinand of Coburg, Prince
Philip of Wurtemberg, the Princess Amelie de Coburg,
the Prince Auguste do Saxe-Coburg, Lord and Lady Stan •
ley of Alderley, General and Lady Alice Peel, Lord Hough-
ton, Lord and Lady Foley, Earl St. Germans, the Baron.
Marochetti, Lady Waldegrave, &c. With these guests
were mingled members of the French and Spanish aristo-
cracy, There were the Duc de Penthievre, Mademoiselle
d'llarcourt, the Marquise de Chanaleilles, Madame Roblis
and the Princess de Mercedes, Colonel Vilarde, M. Fauvel,
M. Hebert, M. do la Tour, the Comte de Monteoquiou,
Madame de Lisboa, Comtesse de Coeffier, Marquise de Cela,
M, Cajijos, Madame Nallejo, Colonel Sauchez, Mademoi-
selle Bernard, Marquis de Moscoros, Madame de Parquet,
Mademoiselle D'lvry, and many others.
Most of the guests had taken their places before any of
the immediate members of the late Royal family had ar-
rived, and before they came Dr. Grant, the Roman Catholic
Bishop of Southwark, wearing his episcopal robes and
mitre, moved down to the church porch to receive them.
Dr. Grant was attended by the Rev. Mr. Danell, his Vicar-
General, and the Rev, Canon Holdstoek, M.l' Abb6 Vasseur
bore the mitre, and the Rev. Pierre Manly, Chsnoine
d'Arras, carried the crczier, At the ceremony itself the
Bishop was assisted by the Rev. 1 'Abbe Toursel, French
chaplain, and l'Abbe Juelle, chaplain to the Queen Amelie,
Soon after the snivel of the Bishop at the porch
Gaston d'Orleans, Count d'Eu, and Philippe d'Orleans,
Due d'Alencon, the sons of the Due de Nemours, arrived
with their sisters the Princesses Marguerite and Blanche,
and at once taok their places near the altar. They were
followed soon after by the Prince de Conde, son of the Due
d'Aumale, and the Princess Christine, the sister of the
bride,—for there were no bridesmaids on the occasion. The
Prince and Princess de Joinville with theDuc de Nemours
and the Due d'Aumale followed almost directly, the Duchess
d'Aumale being prevented by indisposition from being pre-
sent. And now the little church was quite full and glowed
on all sides with the rich colours of the ladies' dresses. It
was easy by costume alone to distinguish between the Eng-
lish and the foreign guests. The French and Spanish noble-
men were all in evening dress, while our countrymen, on
the contrary, followed the custom usual here at such cere-
monies, and wore plain morning costume. Nor was the
difference much less marked with the fair portions of the
assemblage—the French ladies generally wearing massive
silks and costly shawls, while those of England were attired
in those beautiful airy, gossamer-like toilettes of the lightest
possible fabric and colour, which to our notion are more
suited than mere richness to such occasions. Just after
half-past 10 loud cheering was heard without, and there
was a long pause of expectation, which was broken at last
as, leaning on the arm of a tall, fair young man, a venerable
lady came slowly up the church, and all rose and bowed
low as they recognised in the aged and feeble Queen the
careworn features of Marie Amelie, the widow of Louis
Philippe. There was a feeling of emotion almost amount-
ing to awe with which this queenly relic of a bygone age
and time, this living witness and actor amid events for which
we of this generation have to read history was regarded.
The young man who supported her tenderly as she advanced
up the church, bowing with queenly self-possession to the
reverences of those around, was the bridegroom, her
grandson, the Count de Paris. Though 26 years of age
he looks two or more years younger, which is perhaps
owing to his fair complexion and light flaxen hair. Cer-
tainly he would be counted fair even among Englishmen,
and his light moustache and open large blue eyes remind
one more of our own Royal family than the Prince of the
House of Orleans. Almost immediately following came the
bride. She was clad in pure white, a soft airy dress resem-
bling a bloom of white flowers, while the massive lace veil
which was over her bridal wreath was turned back from
her face and hung like a train behind. She moved with a
simple dignity that was inexpressibly charming, and her
fine delicate features at once reminded the spectator of the
profile of the Princess of Wales. It may have been that
the same manner of wearing the hair suggested this fanci-
ful idea of the strong resemblance, but the impression at
least seemed general, in spite of the young bride's dark
hair, Spanish eyes, and pale, delicate complexion, such as
is sometimes, though rarely, seen among the blondes of
Southern France.
The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier followed the
bride, with the Duke and Duchess de Chartres. Immedi-
ately on arriving at the altar, the Prince and Princess oc-
cupied the prie dieux, with the Queen-Mother sitting be-
hind her grandson, and the Duke and Duchess do Mont-
pensier sitting behind their daughter. Before commencing
the service, Bishop Grant, amid deep silence, addressed the
Prince and Princess, in French, in a speech, of which the
following is a literal translation :
"In blessing the solemn obligations which are about to
unite you at the foot of this altar, I cannot but dwell in
thought upon the many reasons which render this alliance
an event so happy for religion, for your exalted family, and
for yourselves. But I feel that I. am expressing. your own
sentiments when 1 say you have admired in the history of
St. Louis how affectionately the pious and prudent Blanche
of Castile chose as the spouse of her son a young
Princess, who was attached to him, and who was worthy of
him by her birth, her talents, and her piety. You have
sought the same advantages in the alliance which you ask
God to consecrate in the presence of witnesses who are dear
and many, and you hope to perpetrate in yourselves the
example which you have learnt from such noble models by
giving to the world the spectacle of the same piety and of
the other Christian virtues. The representatives of the
most illustrious Courts of the earth, the faithful friends who
surround you, come to unite their cordial wishes to the
powerful prayers of the holy protectors whom you have in
Heaven, and whose names, venerated in the Church, you
bear. Well may they trust that their hopes will be ful-
filled, when they think how many petitions are offered that
God may bo pleased to shower blessings upon you, and may
