lieved unless by remodelling the Society, which was a very
excellent one, if the objects of it w-:re carried properly into
effect.

Mr. TWYFORD said i hat no other society could be en;.
grafted upon it, and as he considered the cases of the seve-
ral claimants of the most lamentable nature that ever came
under his notice, he regretted exceedingly it did not come
within his jurisdiction to afford them any redress.
The applicants thanked the Magistrate for his kindness,
and after expressing themselves in terms not to be misun-
derstood against the Directors of the Royal Union Society,
withdrew.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN
OF BOHEMIA.

(Her Majesty's approaching marriage being a subject
of general conversation, we present our readers with an
account taken from Mr. Jesse's " Memoirs of the Court
of England," of the wedding of the daughter of
James 1., which took place at Whitehall, in that King's
reign.)
The marriage ceremony was performed in the Ban-
queting House at Whitehall, on February 14, 1613,
and appears to have been really magnificent, The
heart of the good Sir John Finnett, the Master of the
Ceremonies, evidently warms, as he describes minutely
the gorgeous dresses, and the " draughts of Ippocras
out of a great golden bowl." " The bravery," he adds,
" and riches of that day were incomparable ; gold and
silver laid upon Lords', Ladies', and Gentlewomen's
backs, was the poorest burden ; pearls and costly em-
broideries being the commonest wear. The King's and
Queen's and Prince's jewels only, were valued that day
by his Majesty himself at 900,0001. sterling." The
folloviing are given by Rapin as the items :

The bride was arrayed in white, the emblem of in-
nocence ; her long hair, as the ornament of virginity,
falling in full length down her back. On her head was
a crown of pure gold, ornamented with pearls and dia-
monds ; and supporting her train were twelve young
ladies, also clothed in white, and so adorned with
jewels, that we are told her passage looked like a
milky-way. During her progress to the Chapel Royal
she was supported by two single men ; her brother,
Prince Charles, on the right, and the Earl of North-
ampton on the left. On her return she was escorted by
two married noblemen, the Duke of Lennox and the
Earl of Nottingham. The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
