THE ROYAL

(From the Morning Post.)
We copy from our Evening Contemporaries of last.
night th,3 following allusions to our announcement of the
approaching marriage of her Majesty, They are of no,
other importance than as they show the disposition of
the Evening Journals to carp at our statement, and their
inability to meet it with a grave and authorised coo-,
tradiction

(From the Courier.)
We believe we can state that Parliament will be pro-
rogued on Wednesday next by the Queen in person. Of
course we do not believe that the Royal Speech will con-
tain any allusion to the subject of the Royal marriage, of
which the Morning Post has put forth some speeulations.
(From the Standard.)
The intimation from a Morning Contemporary, that
matrimonial alliance is about to take place between her
Majesty and Prince Albert Francis, second son of the
reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg, is by no means new. A
similar announcement was, if we mistake not, put forth by
an evening newspaper more than twelve months ago, and
has formed a prominent feature of the gossip of the weekly
Majesty'sdenie

authority." It has
hnoewwespvaepr,erbseeeneemr,
osrienctehahneron
With such a disposition to mystify her Majesty's subjects,
it becomes difficult to know what to believe.
(From the Globe.)
Some mischievous wag has sadly practised on the credu-
lity of the Post, whose extraordinary account of the ap-
proaching marriage of her Majesty—the name, age, height, and all other particulars, personal, moral, and mental, of
her supposed husband being detailed with moat amusing
minuteness—we insert in another column.
We have reason to believe the extraordinary announce-
ment to be utterly destitute of that which can alone give
it interest_the quality of truth. One thing is certain,
that the Queen will prorogue ParlitAteent in person on
Wednesday next.
That the Post actually invented this rigmarole we do
not suppose. We do not even regard it as of home manu-
facture, and will venture to guess that the letter which
bug
post-Inark° of Brussels, and that it was
brought
signed by one whose in'itials are " H. F."
The ht
it bore
Globe ff thee
eta to believe that some mischievous
wag has practised on our credulity. In the Globe
th;s opinion is excusable, inasmuch as it has been a
severe sufferer from its own excess of credulity and
the svaggeries of its correspondents. We are not,
however, quite as accessible as our Contemporary
to this kind of imposition. Our Contemporary says
that he has reason to believe our extraordinary an-
nouncement to be utterly destitute of truth. This
is of little importance, however, as the Globe has
laboured diligently, and not without success, to acquire
the reputation of a ready believer, with or without
rea-
son. It will be remarked that the only part of our statement which any of our Contemporaries ventures
positively to contradict is that which related to the ab-
sence of the Queen at the prorog'ation of Parliament.
The Courier and Globe say tb':4t her Majesty will pro-
rogue the Parliament in pcn.son. We are glad to hear
this ; and hope it will prove true. All we said upon the
subject was, that wo understood her Majesty would not
be present at the prorogation of Parliament.
We do not abandon, however, any part of what we
stated yesterday, and beg to be understood as distince,iy
and gravely repeating every syllable of our annou Awe.
ment as to the approaching marriage of her MAesty,
this instance, as upon former occasions when . the ac-
curacy of our information has been disputed, we appeal
to forthcoming events.
