A BENISON. Br CirAnLEs KENT.

Lovelier far than Princess of the Story
Raining jewels from her rosy lips,
Come, 0 fair young Bride, regild with glory
England's orb, long shrouded in eclipse !
Not with diamond, fu-quois, ruby sparkling
From sweet pokr.,n words in glittering showers—
Words of love now breathed_thro' death griefs darkling
gtrow trtaul. fni+cct iloworo.
Symbols of a nation's tenderest greeting—
Roses, Lilies; Ofange-blossoms, May—
Dropped iiko olessing3 at this nuptial meeting

AIEXANDILA 1
.on tity Marri.tge Day I
Happier than with fairy kiss when Nvaking
Be•utyfrom a hundred dreaming years,
Came a royal Bridegroom, fondly breaking
Lilzo 'Heaven's Day God thrO' Earth's slumbrous fears,

Come thou other Bridegroom, not dispelling—
Reanzing Visions,a Romano
Lure the peciless maiden to thy dwelling,
Win her with one potent spell, thy glance I
So may a Centhry's Peace, begun not ending
With the sweet magic of thy nuptial kips,
Above thy fair young heads in joys descending„,
Long lengthen .cut in years of wedded bliss.

to the fact, that the beautiful portraiture of H.R.H. the

Mr. Thomas Scott frem a masterly photograph taken by
Messrs. John and Charles Watkins, of Parliament-streot,

GROSVF.7IO-itrrnlNu SCHOOL,—lnexperienced cques-
trians will derive great advantage from a visit to this well-
appointed establishment,in South-street, recently re-opened
under entirely now management. The stud is a capital and
extensive one, the practising area is spacious, and, above
all, there is the facility, humediately after taking lessons,
of riding directly from the school into the park. The
quietude of the situation and the subdued light prevailing
in the building impart the necessary confidence to timid or
nervous pupils, and the spot is peculiarly exempt from the
chance of external interruptions. That the arrangements
would be of a description calculated to ensure comfort and
improvement was to be expected from the reputation of the
proprietors, Mr. Mautigy, of Maurigy's Ilotel, and 111 r
Henderson, the well-known connoisseur and "consulting
counsel" in matters relating to the qualities and capacapabili-
ties of horseflesh. This expectation will ba found realised,
and ono of the results is that the place is resorted. to ky
members of the highest circles in society, who bringtheirfamilies with them, and. from the gallery an
