THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.

REJOICINGS IN COPENHAGEN.
COPENHAGEN, March 10.—This city, in spite of an over-
cast sky and a cold temperature, has throughout the day
presented a scene of unusual brilliance and splendour. At
an early hour not only the royal palace's and Government
and other public buildings, which here so greatly abound,
but almost all the dwelling houses, were gaily decorated
with Danish, English, Swedish, and other flags, while the
places of public resort, the squares, the streets, the quays,
and even the neighbouring country roads, have been crowded
with people in holiday garb, whose whole demeanour and
appearance testified to their happiness, who were evidently
bent on doing honour to their favourite princess on the oc •
oasion of what is regarded by all as her most auspicious
marriage. In the beautiful gardens and grounds of the
Rosenborg Palace the scene was particularly animated ;
and, as the town is in many places intersected with " ha-
vens" and canals, the gay appearance which the shipping
in them presented vas both appropriate and striking,
while the effect produced by the strains of music
from the military and other bands in the squares
and on the ramparts was most enlivening. The
public gardens of Tivoli and the Alhambra have
been frequented by crowds all the morning ; and as the pre-
parations making at both for the evening promise that the
displays there will then be more attractive than ever, those
who cannot obtain admittance to the grand ball at the
Casino will not be without their means of enjoyment also,
although the illuminations are likely to be so attractive
that many will doubtless be content with the gratification
which these will assuredly afford.

The arrangements which had been made for giving a
good and substantial repast to the poor have been carried
out with remarkable success, not only here but at Roeskilde,
Gjentofte, and other towns and villages, so that all that
could be thought of has been done to make the day one of
festivity and enjoym nt. The more ample accounts of the
splendid and affectionate reception which was given to the,
dear Princess Alexandra on her arrival in England have
tended, perhaps, to increase the universal joy; and as to
these has just ben adde I the announcement by telegraph
of the actual solemnisation of the marriage at Windsor,
nothing seems to be awanting to secure that happiness
which is so ardently desired for the Prince and Princess of
Wales, alike by the people of England and of Denmark.

Fatal Accidents at the Illuminations in
the City.

An inquest w,s held yes erd /37 at St. Bartholo-
m-w's Hospital by Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy coro-
ner tor the City, to inquire into the circumstances
which led to the deaths ot tour persons who were
killed during the pressure of the crowd on the night
ot ruesday last. The persons wtio thus lost their
lives w-re named Anne Harding, Eliz Abeth Grove,
Ellen Giles, and Caroline Mitchell.
Thomas Graham, 195, Goswell-road, coachmakcr,
said that about ten o'clock on the evening of Tues-
day he was corning from St. Paul's down to Lud-
gate-hill on the right hand side of the way. He
had been previously on the other side of the way.
One side was kept for those going towards the
City and the other for those coming westwards.
There were great numbers of persons going
.both
ways and passing each other. There were vehicles
in the carriage way. He was between the Old
Bailey and Farringdon street, and
.when he got to
the Belle Sauvage gateway his attention was called
to a young woman struggling in the crowd. She
was the sister of Caroline Mitchell. lie assisted in
getting her out of the crowd, and she implored him
to go in search of her sister. He went about fifty
yards up Belle Sauvage-yard, where there were
great numbers of persons, and on the ground he
found Caroline Mitchell, whom he recognised by the
description her sister had given him of her. There
were no persons then trampling on her, but he
learned that there had been, and that she had been
carried through the crowd. Her dress was dis-
i 'zdered, and her bonnet was off and crumpled from
having been trampled on. He lifted her up and
found she was warm, but apparently dead. He
I called the police, who brought a young medical
man. The latter, on feeling her pulse, pronounced
her dead. There was no particular illumination
or attraction about that place; there was rather
less. The police were very numerous about there,
and were most attentive. After some minutes wit-
ness was able to get the deceased into a public-
house, and she was conveyed to the hospital.
Joseph Nottage, of Friar's-mount, general dealer,
said that he was proceeding along at the time in
question towards St. Paul's up Ludgate-hill. He
was about three-quarters of an hour coming along
from Temple-bar. When opposite the gateway
(Belle Sauvage-yard) he saw about a dozen persons
lying on the top of one another in the carriage-way.
There were two lines of carriages, as far as he could
see. Some persons were beating back the crowd,
which was sw ying about. It was not through
larking, but to prevent the persons on the ground
being trampled on. Just at that spot there was no
carriage. He assisted in getting up the woman
Harding. Her bonnet was crushed beside her. A
gentleman examined her and said " She is gone."
There were some persons larking among themselves,
but not at the place where the people fell, that he
could see.

A man named Goddard, a general dealer, con-
d the last witness's evidence, and added that
there was only one line of carriages on Ludgate-
gill, At that time. Hi, taw several people knocked
d,wn, but cot by vehicles. They were knocked
down by the force of the crowd.
The evidence in all the other cases was of a
similar character. The deceased persons being in-
extricably mixed up with the crowd, and, being
weak, were aeon exhausted and fell. None of the
witnesses could account for the extraordinary
pressure of the crowd at the place where the deaths
occurred. It also appeared that there were no
special attractions in the way of illuminations on
the spot.

Verdicts of accidental death Were returned in all
cases.

A inquest was also held on Thursday on the body
of an infant, two months old, the son of a poor
woman named Brady, living at Oak-lane, Lime-
house. The mother stated that while in King
William-street on, Tuesday, looking at the illumi-
nations, there was a great crowd and crush, but
she did not notice that the child was particularly
pressed against. She, however, observed that the
child was black in the face, and was gasping ; and
on making her way cut of the crowd she found
that the child was dead. Medical evidence proved
that the child's death was caused by suffocation.
The verdict of the jury
was—" That the deceased,
being an infant of tender age, was suffocated in its
mother's arms by the pressure of the crowd in the
public streets on the night of Tuesday, the 10th of
March."

THE CASE OF PROFESSOR JOWETT.—It is be-
lieved in Oxford circles that the promoters of the case against
Professor Jowett will not carry out the appeal, of which
notice was given by Mr. Latimer, but that they will abide
by the decision of the learned Assessor of the Vice-Chan-
oellor's Court,
