THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.--It is said that
her Majesty has caused the whole of her Privy Council
to be summoned to attend her on Saturday next, and
that she will then announce to them her intended mar-
riage with Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg. Har
Majesty's Privy Council consists of upwards of 200,
and is composed of Nobles, Statesmen, Judges,
civilians, &c., and although it may appear strange
that a young lady should announce to some 200
gentlemen at once that she is going forthwith to enter
into the holy state of matrimony, yet it will be found
that if she does so her Majesty is following as near as
may be the precedent of the reign of King George the
Third. In the year 1761 there was much speculation
as to who King George the Third would marry, some
saying that he would marry a forrign Princess, others as-
serting that he would espouse one of his own subjects.
However, on the Bth of July, 1761, all doubts were put
an end to by his Majesty calling the whole of his
Privy Council together, and making the communication
to them, which was published by the Royal authority,
in a London Gazelle extraordinary, on the same
day. The marriage ceremony on that occasion was
that contained in the Book of Common Prayer, a part
of which seems to be not applicable to the marriage of
a reigning Queen whose husband will be her subject, as
it would appear to be rather anomalous that a lady
should vow at the altar to obey one who, by the very act
of their marriage, becomes under her Government as
one of her subjects. As a foreigner Prince Albert owes
no allegiance to the, Queen, but as the husband of a
Queen Regnant he is one of her subjects.--Morning
