thrifty and industrious mercantile race in either
hemisphere were by common consent suspended. So
far as those clres were concerned, the 7th of
NI trch, 18G3, was distinctly a dies non. Otherwise,
it was, on the contrary, a very day of days among
our historic jubilees.
It was net simply, however, that the population
in gala trim turned out in countless thousands
along the path trodden by the procession. Between
Gravesend and Windsor, but more particularly still
between Southwark and Paddington, the fair young
Bride Elect—Princess by adoption of Denmark, by
birth of S :es wig-II olstein-Sonderburg : iicksburgi
by the doubly sanctifying rights of love and mar-
riage henceforth of Wales of England, of the United
Kingdom—was, as well became her maiden grace and
beauty, "the cynosure of neighbouring eyes!—the
observed of all observers !" Of her, as literally of
CLEOPATRA, might be said, and quite as truthfully—

"The city cast

Her People out upon her ; and-"
supposing the young Prince to have emulated MARK
ANTHONY by loitering "enthroned i' the market-
place" he surely also, there-, had sat alone—
" Whistling to the air, whiph but for vacancy
Had gone to gaze on AiEXANDRAt too.
And made a gap in nature."
As it was, from the Royal Bridegroom
himself, from her Most Gracious MAJESTY the
SOVEREIGN downwards to the very humblest of
her MAJESTY'S subjects all combined to do,honour to
the newly arrived and newly adopted daughter, to
the future mistress, of these realms. Accompanied
as the young Princess has been in her bridal advent
to this country by the various members of her own
august family—her parents, her, brothers and sis-
ters, her Royal liighnets .herself, can together
realise, at once and to the full, how complete is her
adoption by the land of her husband, how entirely
already she is here At Home in England. Nor is this
adoption one vouchsafed to her by courtesy.

It is full and absolute. As from the lips of RUTH,
so also from hers might come the tender avowal—
" Whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go; and
where thou also shalt dwell, I will dwell. Thy
People shall be my People ; and thy GOD my,
GOD." As such we have accepted her. As out.
own. And hence, in the simple truth o
thiS ' acceptance, the unanimity, the spon
tanoity, and the irrepressible enthusiasm o
the reception by England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales, of the young Princess ALEXANDRA.
Not a church tower or a church spire in all thes
islands but, during these last few days, has had a,
gay flag fluttering from it, has vibrated to the joyJ
ful chime ringing from its belfry, has been a een,,
tral point from which a circle of popular happine
has radiated. Once again, if but for an interval
England, as of old, has been "Merry England.

probably, has tended directly to enhance the cor;
dial warmth of these evidences of loyal devotion
has been the not unnaturalreaction consequent upon,
upwards of one whole year of uninterrupted sym-
pathy with the immense home grief of the most
beloved and revered of our Sovereigns. Never has
the sorrow of a widowed Queen been more tenderly
respected. The year of grace ithat has just gone by-
1862—has been completely abandoned to this loyal
as well as royal mourning. And this it should ever be
borne in mollection,not withstanding. there -wow con-
spicuous inducements so the ...trgry.l•.l- reason of
the capital of the BritiSh Empire having again
become the world's rendezvous as the chosen arena
of another Grand International Exhibition. Yet,
consistently to the very lasi, the grief of the Crown
throughout the whole of 1802, was to the fullest and
completest extent respected. The spring-time of the
new year, therefore, this auspicious year cf the
Prince of WALES'S marriage, has witnessed, in the
simultaneous and sympathetic rejoicings of the
Court and of the country a not unnatural reaction.
Now that one more the clouds of gloom have at
length been dissipated, long may the happy bllll-
- pour over the land uninterruptedly.
