THE WEDDING DRESS.—The Princess's wedding
dress will consist of a petticoat of pearl-white silk, em-
broidered with the rose, thistle, and shamrock, trimmed
with four rows of silver lace round the bottom, robing up
the centre, over which will be suspended a train of crimson
velvet, magnificently embroidered with the same designs in
silver as the petticoat. The bodice and sleeves are com-
posed of the same costly material. The Princess will be
attended by eight bridesmaids, four on each side,—on the
right, Lady Diana Beauclerk, Lady Elma Bruce, Lady
Eleanor Hare, and Lady Emily Villiers,—on the left,
Lady Feodore Wellesley, Lady Agnete Yorke, Lady Vic-
toria Howard, and Lady Victoria Scott. It is to be much
regretted that the number originally given has been cur-
tailed, owing to indisposition. Lady Georgiana Hamilton,
the daughter of the Marquis of Abercorn, who was to have
been a bridesmaid, is, we believe, suffering from measles.
The costumes of the bridesmaids are composed of a rich
white glace slip, covered with tulle skirts—the bottom
trimmed with a ruche of bouillonnes of tulle, the middle one
looped up in spaces all round with bouquets of blush roses,
heather, and shamrock. From the waist falls a long tulle
tunique, which is festooned on one side with two long hang-
ing bouquets of roses, &c. ; the body and sleeves trimmed
to correspond with tulle and flowers. Coiffure, a wreath of
roses, heather, and shamrock, with a long tulle veil falling
from the back of the head.—Court Journal.
THE THEATRES AND THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.—

A notice was on Friday issued from the Home Office
to the various metropolitan managers, instructing them to
open the theatres gratuitously to the public on Tuesday
evening next, the Treasury having agreed to the scale of
payment arranged with the managers at the Lord Chamber-
lain's office ; and further, that Sir Richard Mayne has been
instructed to communicate with the several managers as to
the issue of tickets in the morning for the admission of the
public in the evening. Each manager had to sign this
document.

rIIE LIVERPOOL WEDDING GlFT.—Animated
with a desire similar to that which has been evinced in
every community throughout the kingdom, great anxiety
has been felt in Liverpool to give characteristic expres-
sion to the loyalty and affection which all classes feel
towards the Roy al family on the occasion of the marriageof
his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Ever forward
where good taste and good feeling are to be displayed, the
ladies of Liverpool adopted a resolution to present the
Princess Alexandra with a bridal souvenir, and for. that
purpose a committee was formed, and souvenir
subscriptio.n
entered into limited to a maximum of two guineas. Within
a very short time £l,OOO was subscribed by upwards of 900
ladies, and with this sum the committee, after mature de-
liberation, selected a superb diamond cross, consisting of 11
large and valuable brilliants, worth in all 800, together
wwitha pearl necklace, valued at £l5O, and £ these, accom-
panied by an illuminated address, are to be presented to her
Royal Highness. The cross and necklace were supplied by
Mr. Joseph Mayer, and these, with the address and signa-
tures, are enclosed in a white morocco portfolio furnished by
Mr. Tooke, both of Liverpool.
