Mr. Disraeli on the Royal Marriage.

A county meeting of the gentry and inhabitants of Buck-
inghamshire, convened by the High Sheriff, Mr. F. C.

Love t, was held yesterday in the County-hall, Aylesbury.
The High Sheriff presided, and was supported by the Lord
Lieutenant (Lord Carington), Hon. Wm. Cavendish, M.P.,
Sir Harry Verney, M.P , Mr. Bernard, M.P., Rev. Sir R.
Fettles, Sir T. F. Fremantle, and a large number of the

magistrates of the county.
The HIGH SHERIFF having briefly stated the object of
the meeting, which was to adopt addresses of congratulation
to the Queen and the Prince of Wales, on the occasion of
the marriage of his royal highness,
Lord CARINGTON (the Lord-Lieutenant) moved the
adoption of addresses to her Majesty and the Prince, ex-
pressive of loyalty to the royal family, and congratulations
on the auspicious event.
Mr. DisRAELI, M.P., in seconding the proposition, said—.
I have great pleasure, however unexpectedly, in seconding
the motion made by the Lord-Lieutenant. The relations
between the royal family of this country and the people aro
not relations of form—they are relations of feeling ; and
that feeling, which is deep and universal, has been occa-
sioned by a conviction—now prevalent for many years in
this country—that to the temperate wisdom with which the
high functions of the throne have been administered in
England we owe much of the happiness and much of the
prosperity we enjoy. Under any circumstances, any public
incident tending to the happiness of her Majesty would be,
lam sure, interesting to her subjects. But that event
which has called us together to-day is one which, while
it must engage her feelings more than almost anything
we can imagine that could now occur, is almost equally
interesting to the whole of this nation. The marriage
of the heir to the throne is an event wh,joh must exercise a
great influence on the fortunes of this country, and it 10
a matter for congratulation that we know enough of the
Princ'a of Wales to inspire confidence in his character
and conduct. That confidence is based on two circurn
stances—first, his natural eisposition, and secondly, his edu-
cation. What we know of his natural disposition, as truly
and eloquently described by the Lord-Lieutenant, gives us
every confidence that he will not disappoint the just expo-
rations of the country. B e has given evi, ence of an
amieble and engaging character, while at the same time his
education. 'has been wor. by of his position. It was
devisid and planed by one of the wisest and
best men that ever itiuriehed in England. Although young,
his experience has not been slight. He has seen much of
teany countries, of various classes of society, and by his
natural intelligence he has acquired valuable experience.
Under tnese circumstances, thus born and thus bred, des-

tined to the highest iesponsibi►ities, he has early in life
d-cided on the eve,,t which is the most important in the
life of every man. Generally speaking, when young princes,
the heirs to great thrones, are married, their marriages
ire advised and planned by others, and often are influ-
enced by feelings which certainly do not spring from the
affections. But in this ease it is a subject for great
congratulation that the marriage of his Royal Highness is
one to which he has been prompted entirely by his oval

feelings, and we have every expectation that it is a choice
which will secure his happiness. He has had early in life
the wisdom to decide on possessing a happy home, and 5
happy home for a Prince is the best security for the happi'
ness of his subjects. I have, therefore, great pleasure in
supporting the address which has been moved by the Lord-
Lieutenant, which, I think, properly expresses the tradi-
tional loyalty of this ancient county. (Cheers.)
A vete of thanks to the High Sheriff, moved by Lord
CAxINOTON and seconded by Sir H. WRNET, closed the
proceedings.

A Paris letter, in the Nouvelliate of Rouen, says

—" I am informed that the Minister of State hag
authorised representations at the Theatre-Francais and the
Theatre-Lyrique for the benefit of the wounded Poles-
Mme. Viardot, who is about to retire from the stage and
take up her residence at Baden, will appear at the Theatre.-
Lyrique for the last time in one of those representations,"
Several journals state that the new Pasha Of
Egypt has just fixed at 1,500,000 fr. per month the
sum to be paid to the Isthmus of Sues company until
300 fr. per share on the 200,000 shares subscribed for by hie
predecessor shall have been up. In consequence of this
arrangement the company, it is said, will be enabled to con-
tinue its works for two years without making a call on the
shareholders.
