I/ALP-PAST ONE.
Very little spirit for speculation in the funds has taken
place during the course of the morning, consequently we

either of the markets, up to the present hour, with the
exception that they are rather heavy.

We are authorized to state that, in consequence
of the very numerous applications for permission to view the
State Apartments and the Chapel Royal, St. James's, a suffi-
cient namber of tickets has been already issued for to-morrow;
and that on Thursday and Friday the State Rooms and the
Chapel will be thrown open to the public, without tickets.
Mr. Lapmoth, the Queens carpet manufacturer,

life and happiness to the Royal Couple."

MARRIAGE OF LORD DINORBEN, TO THE
PRINCRSS OF CAFUA'S SISTER, AT KENSINGTON PALACE.—
Th;s mo:ning numbers of persons assembled at St. George's
Church, Hanover-square, in expectation of witnessing the
Grand Wedding, which was announced to take place this
morning, between Lord Dinorben and the amiable and highly
accomplEshed Miss Smyth, sister to the Princess of Capau, wi.o
is residing with her at Mivart's Hotel, in Lower Brook-street,
Grosvenor-square, but they were considerably disappointed.
The marriage, which will be on a splendid scale, will be so-
lemnized by special license, this evening, at the apartments of
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, in Kensington Palace.
The amiable bride will be given away by his Royal Highness.
After the ceremony, till haw)), parr will proceed from the pa-
lace to the teat of h's Kinnoul Park, near St.
Asaph, North Wales, where they will reside during the hcnly-
moon.

LITERATURE.

L OND ON 11.1AGAZINE.
The present is the fist Number of this periodical ;
and if its successors . are equal to i: in spirit and viva-
city, we think it far from unlikely that it may be
pular. There is a humourous sketch in it entitled
Colonel M.P.," which, allowing for caricature,
is not a bad likeness ; the literary explanation attached
to this smart engraving is quizzical, without possessing
a spark of ilk-nature. " The Diurnal Revolutions of
D ;vie Diddledoft," are pleasant reading, and hit off
character with much point and sagacity. We must
however see more of the London Magazine, before we
pronounce a pos;tive opinion on its chances of success
or otherwise. All we can say of the Number before
us is that it promises well.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.
The two fi:.St articles in this Number, the " Assault
of Glatznea," and the " Blowing up the Wreck of the
Royal George," are of old date, and, therefore, not
attractive to the general reader. The account of the
last, no doubt, is interesting to professional men ; but
we are sick of readir.g about the voltaic battery, the
fusee 3, cylinders with conical ends, and other ends, the
beams, braces, bulkheads, the Royal George, Colonel
Pasley, and fifty other names, which appeared in every
newspaper some two or three months ago ; thee are the
great defects of 'this article, otherwise it would have
been interestine; ; and the description of the " first great
explosion" is, with all these disadvantages, very striking.
There is another defect in the article which is but too
common in this periodical, and which the Editor would
do well to obviate for the future—we mean cutting up
papers into two or three pieces at intervals of months,
the consequence of which is that, before the end comes
the beginning is forgotten. In this Number there are
no fewer than five of these disjecta meinira of articles.
If the writers would compress their ideas, and do what-
soever their hands find to do quickly, this periodical
would not be confined to the military and navy.

Tice lost banker's pared, we are enabled to say,
has been received tLis morning, bearing the Paris post-
mark.

The banquet at the Palace, last evening, was
of the most sumptuous kind. A rich profusion of massive plate
shone in dazzling brilliancy, on a ground of crimson
cloth, which was surmounted with a crown, and white satin
rosettes. The company began to assemble shortly before eight
o'clock, and at eight dinner was announced. His Serene High-
ness the Duke of Saxe Coburg led her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent into the barpietting-roora, and was followed
by the noble guests. The Foot Guards' band were stationed in
the ante-room, and performed many admired airs during the
banquet.
PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.—On Friday a very
fine sturgeon, the first caught in the present Mayoralty in the
river Thames, was sent as a present to her Majesty by the
Lord Mayor. It was caught in the Thames, off Greenwich,
on Thursday. The water-bailiff, by the Lord Mayor's orders,
attended in propria persona with the fish at the palace, where
it was received with the warmest thanks, and directions were
given to the head cook to serve it up at the royal banquet on the
royal wedding day.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert, we under-
stand, bestowed a handsome present on Captains Hamilton and
Southell, of the packet service, who couamsaded the Ariel
packet, which conveyed bim from Calais.
We have authority for stating that her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester was prevented from being
present upon the occasion of her Majesty's wedding, in conse-
quence of her Royal Highness having for this last f..rtnight
been confined to her house, suffering from the effects of a severe
cold, and not- being sufficiently recovered to encounter the
fatigue of a considerable procession at so early an hour.
The Earl of Minto gave a grand dinner last
evening at the Admiralty in honour of the Queen's marri 'e.
Among the guests were :—Sir Charles Adam, Sir William
Parker, Sir I'. Troubridge, Lord Dalmeny, Mr. OTerrall,
Sir J. Barrow, Mr. Briggs, Hon. Robert Dundas, Mr. Meek,
Sir William Buenet. Captain Beaufort, Sir Edward Parry,
Colonel Owen, Captain I3randeeth, Captain Shirreff, Captain
Ho- nby, Mr. Jones, Mr. Locker, Mr. Tierney, Sir George
Martin, Hon. Sir B. Capel, Sir W. Gage, Hon. Captain
Pechell, M.P., Sir W. Symonds, Captainßowles, Sir J.
Beresford. •
The mansion taken by her Royal Higliness the
Duchess of Kent, for a temporary residence, is No. 36, Bel-
grave-spare. adjoining the Duchess of Gordon's and Sir John
Shelley's. The mansion belongs to Lord Ingesirie, who let
the house last season to the Prince of Capua. The Duchess
will remove, it is
,understood, from Buckingham Palace to her
new abode in about three weeks.
The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland
arrived in town on Saturday, from Alnwiels Castle. Their
Graces remained one night at Stanwick Park, the seat of- Lord
Prudhoe, en route to town.
Lord Augustus Fitzclarence caused to be dis-
tributed, on Monday, to his parishioners at Maple Durham,
materials for a good dinner, at their own homes, in honour of
the Queen's marriage.
DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR HARRY NEALE,
Bone.—The melancholy information arrived here this morn-
ing, ft om Brighton, of the eleniise of Admiral Sir Harry Neale,
Bart., in the seventy-sixth year of his age. The gallant admi-
ral, having been indisposed for some time, hai left his seat at
Walhanspton about three weeks foe change of air. His suffer-
ing at the close of life was very sev,re. Sir Harry Neale was
a great favourite of King George the Third, and in constant
attendance upon his Majesty during his aquatic excursions at
Weymouth. Ma, gallant admiral and his family for many
years held the patronage of this borough till the passing of the
Reform Bill, and strictly adhered to Conservative principles.
The worthy baronet. will be lamented by a large circle of
fi lends, and the poor around his domain have lost a kind and
benevolent protector.—Lyrnitigton, Feb. 9, 1840.
Died, at 5, West Claremont-street, on the 31st
ultimo, Mrs. Park, relict of the celebrated Mungo Park,
aged 59.
The Earl of Stamford and Warrington, on being
informed that much distress existed at the present time in
Ashton-under-Lyne, amongst the poor, has generously sub-
scribed 2001. for their relief.
The perfornance at St. Paul's, for the benefit of
the Sons of the Clergy, will take place this year on Thursday,

THE BLOODHOUNDS I—We lament to per-
ceive in some of the Tory papers, published in the provinces,
something very like blood-thirstieess. Not a few of these Con-
servative and most Christian journals hint that Frost, Jones,
and Williams should have been hung, drawn, and quartered.
After sparing these persona' lives (say these equally cruel and
unwise writers) no man, however criminal, can with a shadow
of justice be put to death.
Mr. Thos Devyr, the conductor of the Northern
Liberator, who has been twice committed for trial at the en-
suing assizes, on a charge of sedition, and on each occasion
liberated on bail, absconded from Newcastle a week or two ago;
and, as we have since been informed, sailed from Liverpool for
the United States on Saturday morning last. He was accempanied
by his wife, and also by Mr. hut anti, late of the Side, New-
castle, chemist, a well-known Chartist agitator. The latter,
from prudential motives, entered himself on the ship's books as
" Mr. Johnson." Mr. John Bleckey, one of Mr. Devyr's
bondsmen, was in persuit of the fugitives, and 'arrived in Liver-
pool in sufficient time—to be " just too late." Ills quondam
associate ha i sailed from England—
" Aed he was left lamenting."
Mason, another of the bailed Chartists, is also a fugitive; and
we therefore cannot be so surprised as Master Gilchrist, that
A yre cannot find bondsmen.—Gateshead Observer.
TRAVELLING IN FRANCE.—.I can use no
other epithets than abominable and disgusting to travelling both
in France and Belgium. It was only a fostnight back that- I
denied myself the pleasure of my annual visit to Ccuut Duval, to
celebrate the fetepf St. Hubert, the patron of the Belgic chase,
when he has a party of upwards of thirty of the elite of Belgium
and other countries in his house_feeling something approachie,
to a horror of the jouiney, although not more thee about 133
miles. But, reader, you shall hear how it is performe a
Dunkirk, 24 miles, five hours, stop here two. All the night going
to Lille, 50 miles, stop there an hour in a coach-office. Then
a change from a five to a three-horse diligence. When 1 was
once condemned to a seat in it, it weighed eight tons on the
weigh-bridge, having 34 passengers ! Well, this " drags its
slow length along" until you-ean see before you the town at
which you are to breakfast (at about 10 A.m.), distant some
petite hello, my two English miles. But when will you arrive-
there ? Why not until every box, and trunk, and pack which
this huge machine carries has been opened and examined by the
Custom-house officers on entering the Belgic frontier.—Nim-
rod in the Neu, Illonthlo.

We are informed, upon the very best authority,
that the division of last week was considered to be so satisfac-
tory, that it has set aside all idea of a dissolution of Parliament
for the present Session. We are rejoiced to hear this, but still
the Liberal electors should not go to sleep, as the course of poli-
tics is often very whimsical andcapricious.—Liccrpool Citron.
Two LUCKY DISCOVERIES..--- A paragraph
under this head appeared in the last number of the Saturday
Evening Post, and since repeated in two papers connected
therewith, insinuating that some improper liberties had b:,en
taken by one of the masters of a public work with the wife of
one of their workmen, while that workman, with others, was
in attendance at a supper and ball given by the masters. The
scene, and other circumstances, though vaguely given, having
been by public rumour applied to one or other of the masters
of a public work in this town, we are authorised to state, that
as far as the gentlemen alluded to are concerned, there is not
one word of truth in the paragraph. They never gave a ball
and supper to their workmen; no man has left their employ-
ment for the last month ; and so far from any one having gone
off to America with his employer's notes and gold, there has
not a man left their Service for the last three months whom
they could not produce in Paisley in twenty-four hours.—
Paisley Adverliser.

With the exception of Thursday✓ last, which was
remarkably fine, the weather since our last has been most de-
plorable. No one remembns so ungenial and unseasonable an
approach of spring. The rain has fallen incessantly night and
day, and for a vast distance the champagne country surrounding
our rivers and brooks are flooded to a great depth ; in fact, the
Severn and Teme resemble inland seas, and at night the
twinkling Pght in the window of Bowyear's Retreat, at the
Grand Stand, from amidst the dark expanse of water, puts the
spectator in mind of some lone light-hcuse far away on ocean
rock.— Worcester Herald.
Dr. Alexander Turnbull, formerly of Carlisle, is
now in the enjoyment of great celebrity in London, especially
for his astonishing success in communicating to deaf and dumb
paients the sense of hearing, which leads, of courte, to the ac-
quirement of speech.-- Gateshead Observer,

HER MAJESTY'S NUPTIALS.—REJOICINGS
IN THE NE1,31-IBOURHOOD OF THE
METROPOLIS AND IN TilE COUNTRY.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
At Wandsworth the paupers in the Union Work-
house had an extra allowance, and were allowed an op-
portunity of drinking to the health and happiness of her
Majesty and her husband. There were also some illu-
minations in the town.
At Croydon the inmates of the workhouse were rc-
gaged in a similar manner, and the day was kept as a
holiday.
At Kingston there was a dinner, at which W. Mer-
cer, Esq. The Mayor presided. The poor of the neigh-
bourhood also received substantial marks of kindness
from the gentry. Upwards of 150 of the inhabitants
dined at the Robin Hood.
At Richmond the day was kept as a holiday. There
were public dinners, at which all the respectable inha-
bitants attended, and in the evening there was a pretty
general illumination.
At Romferd, Ilford, Bow, and the other towns in
this direction, there were similar proceedings, and there
is no doubt but that they would have.been carried out
on a much more extended scale, but for the short time
allowed for the preparations.
At Guildford every poor man, woman, and child had
presented to them half a pound of meat and a half
quartern loaf; the amount necessary for that I,urpose
having been subscribed by the inhabitants, and the Town
Hall was also brilliantly illuminated. Nine hundred
and eighty children were presented with a bun each.
and the members of every poor family had half a pint of
beer given to them in addition to the above allowance
of meat and bread. The Mayor and Corporafon of the
borough dined with the inhabitants, and at night there
was a grand_ball at the White Hart. The paupers in
the workhouse had also an extra allowance given thee'.
At Reigate, by the directions of the Board of Gu tr-
diens, the inmates cf the workhouse were regaled with
prime roast beef, plum-pudding, and ale. There w.s
dinner and ball in the evening.
At Epsom a public dinner took place, at the Spsead
Eagle, and in the evening the town was for the first time
I,gh:ed with gas.
At Dorking, seven hundred children belonging to the
N etional and British Schools were regaled with a din-
ner, as were the aged and infirm of the parish. A
pablic dinner of the inhabitants took place in the even-
ing, at the Red Lion. The band of the town gave
their services Gratuitously, and the day passed off with
the utmost hilarity.
Mr. Harvey Combe, the opulent brewer, gave a
most splendid entertainment at his scat, Cobham Park.
Workmen were employed for several days in fitting up
the barns upon his prope-ty for the reception of all the
poor persons in the parish and neighbourhood, and a
substantial repast was provided, and several casks of
fine old ale were broached upon the occasion. Upwards
of two hundred poor persons sat down to dinner, and
it might be truly said that there was not a sad heart
or miles from the spot. Mr. Combe, with a number •
of the neighbouring gentry, paid the utmost attention
to the poor persons, and saw that their wants were all
provided for in the most ample manner. A band of
was -provided, end at the conclusion of the dinner the
health of her Majesty and Prince Albert was proposed
and drank in the most enthusiastic manner, and the
band played the National Anthem, In the evening,
Mr. Combe had a numerous party of gentry and trades-
men residing in the neighbourhood, and a ball and
supper concluded the evening's entertainments.

HER MAJESTY'S NUPTIALS.
(FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)
Nothstanding the miserable state of the weather at
an early hour the busy note of preparation was
sounded in all parts of the metropolis, and at day light
a great number-of spectators had already assembled in
the_ immediate vicinity of the Mall, and Buckingham
Palace. Since this time, up to twelve o'clock, the
number of persons rapidly increased, and in spite of the
rain which came down in torrents from ten till eleven
oVock, those persons who obtained good stations
kept their positions, and the rain appeared to be taken
no notice of in the excitement of the scene. At twelve
o'clock, the Mall, from the Duke of /York's column to
the Palace, presented one dense mass of human beings,
and the number present was estimated variously
at from eighty to one hundred thousand persons.
The centre walk of the Mali from the
Palace to .the garden entrance of St. James's was
kept clear by the police, and a regiment of Life Guards
and Dragoons. The police were under the direction
of Superintendents firindsclt -and Lincoln, and the force
deserves great praise for the arrangements, for the pre-
sereation of order, and for the forbearance with which
the duty was performed. Just before twelve o'clock,
a rather laughable occurrence took place. A man had
mounted into one of the trees, which it seems was
against the orders, and the police requested him to
come down. He, however, refused to do so, and one
of the constables immediately got up into the tree to
compel him to do so. The man climbed to the very
highest part of the tree to avoid his pursuer, but the
constable was quite as good a climber as he was, and ho
followed him to the top, when a parley took place, and
the man promised to descend, and the constable retired
from him. He had no sooner done so, than the man
again got up into the tree, upon which the constable
went up a second time to him, and caught hold of his
trousers, and compelled him to come down after him,
amid the cheers and laughter of the mob. As noon
approached, the impatience of the crowd began to
increase, and meny anxious wishes were expressed for
the appearance of the bridegroom, who, it was known,
would first leave the Palace. A short time before 12
o'clock, the carriage containing the Prince and those of
his suite were seen emerging from the Palace. His
Highness was vociferously cheered. He bowed to the
spectators on both sides of the avenue, and appeared to
be bighly pleased with his reception. In 20 minutes
her Majesty's cortege followed that of Prince Albert.
Hcr Majesty appeared somewhat paler than usual, but, as
the procession moved along, receiving the plaudits of
the assembled multitude, it passed away, and she
speedily resumed her wonted appearance. It was
nearly one o'clock before the procession returned
Prince Albert, this tune, accompanying her Majesty,
with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. They
were greeted all the way on their return to Buckingham
Pala be with the most deafening plaudits from the
crowd. Notwithstanding the immense number of per.
sons that were assembled, our Correspondent did net
hear of any serious accident taking place.

(From the Globe of yesterday ) •
PROCEEDINGS IN THE PARK.
At a very early hour this morning crowds of anxious
gazers were assembled in St. James's Park ; even so
early as six o'clock numbers were already stationed in
the Mall and near the entrance to the Palace. The
morning was blusterous, and a slight rain began to fall
about seven. Notwithstanding this, numbers of re-
spectably dressed persons, truth male and female, con-
tinued to pour ir:to the- Park from all quarters of the
metropolis, and cabs and coaches might be seen almcat
from da)light,.pouring into the metropolis front every
direction.
The Commissioners of "olive, to prevent accidents,
had issued directions that no standings should be fixed
in the Park, and the constables placed at the different
entrances bad directions to prevent the admission of
tables, planks, or benches. The speculators, however,
wire determined not to be foiled, and a great number
of articles of the above description were throsn over
the railings of the Park in Piccadilly, hnd in an incre-
dibly short space of time the whole distance opposite
to the entrance to the Palace down to the end of the
railings inside the Green Park was covered with
benches and Vatforrns, and the " standings" were
speedily occupied by the persons assembled.
About eight o'clock a large body of police from all
the divisions of the Metropolitan Police Force, under
the charge of experienced officers, mustered in the
Mali, and shortly afterwards they were stationed frotrs
the Palace to the entrance of the Chapel at St. James's.
About the same time, two battering trai of Ryal
Artillery from Woolwich, each consisting ns
of the
four gouns,
arrived, and were stationed inside the Park for the.pur,
from the Palace to Si. James's.
pose of liriag royal salutes as her Majesty proceeded)
kept line of road was
kept by regiments of Life Guards and Dragoons, and a
clear space was kept down the centre of the Mall fot
the passage of the royal and iliusirious cortege.
At nine o'clock the Royal Standard was hoisted on
the summit of the beautiful classic marble arch in
front of the- Palace. Banners were flying, and
other testimonials of the joyous occasion, were to;
be seen flrating from the different club-houses, hoteis,
and private dwelling-houses in the neighbourhood
of St. James's. Several extra bodies of police, amounting
in number to upwards of 2,000, were stationed at the
different avenues leading to, and in the Park, for the
purpose of .keeping order and regularity, and their vigi,
lance was apparent in detecting, as usual, several of Os*
" swell mob " who had commenced their depredationa.
Those persons who had gained access into the Park

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
THE GRAND HALL—DEPARTURE OF ITER
MAJESTYand PRINCE ALBERT for ST. JAMES'S.
The hour fixed for the departure of her Majesty front
Buckingham Palace far St. James's was twelve o'clock,
and several hundredi of pers ms were admitted to the
Grand Hall and portions of the Grand Staircase, to wit-
ness s preliminary step in the grand ceremonial of
the day, by tickets from the Beard of Green Cloth.
About ten o'clock elegantly dressed ladies and gentle-
men, many of whom were in full dress, with favours and
white flowers, began to anise at the Grand Hal en-
trance, ranging themselves on the ends and sides of the
Grand Hall, where they had excellent positions for
seeing the two illustrious individuals whose marriage was
about to take place.
By eleven o'clock the Mistress of the Pse,bea, the
Duchess of Sutherland, the Ladies in Wafting, and the
Maids of Honour, had arrived ; and: after remaining in
attendance upon her Majesty for about twenty minutes,
they, with two or three exceptions, proceeded to St.
James's Palace, there to await the arrival of; and re-
ceive her Majesty.
At twenty minutes before twelve the d " sharp"
(which is at Court the usual intimation that members of
the Royal Family are at hand) was heard on the grand
staircase, and it was immediately understood that his
Royal Highness Prince Albert was about also to take
. his departure for St. James's.
In a few seconds his Royal Highness appeared, ac-
companied by his own attendants and the Chief OfEeers
of her Majesty's Household. His Royal Highness de-
scended the steps leading immediately into the Grand
Hall, bowing and smiling most gracefully and benignantly
--for no sooner was he in sight than ail present welcomed •
hint with a most hearty clapping of hands. His Royal
Highness and his attendants having entered the car-
riage which was waiting his reception, the Officers of
the Household who had accompanied him to the car-
riage door returned again to attend upon her Majesty.
It was now within a few minutes of twelve o'clock,
and her Majesty's appearance was looked for every
moment with the greatest interest and anxiety.
In a few minutes a:ter twelve the word of import,
"sharp," was again heard, and after a short lapse of time
her Majesty descended the stair-case into the Grand
Ilall. accompanied by her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent, the Mistress of the Robes the (Duchess of
Sutherland), and one of the Ladies in Waiting, attended
by the principal Officers of the Household, and the two
Pages of Honour, who bore her Majesty's beautiful
white train. A description of the dress worn by her
Majesty will be found in another part of our columns.
The white cringe blossoms also described 'decorated
her Majesty's brow, and formed a highly b: coming,; head
dress ; indeed the whole attire of her Majesty formed
the beau ideal of a Royal bride's apparel. The Queen
was received in the most rapturous manner as she
Passed through the ball, which she very gracefully
acknowledged by repeafeelly hawing in the most con-
(!pscending manner. Her Majesty looked extremely
well, although perhaps a little paler than she is woot
to be. The perfect sell-posession and easy bearing
which are so characteristic of her Majesty at all times
bad not forsaken her, however, on this interesting
occasion.

As soon as her Maje•Ay had quitted the Palace the
company promenaded about, and inspected the different
Port ens of the beiiding to which they could be ad-
mitted, as the best means of pas,ina; the interval of
time which must elapse before her Majesty and his
Royal Highness returned a wedded pair.
The most interesting and chief point of attraction was
the apartment is which the ("dewier was beii g laid for
the royal couple. On the centre of the table in this
apartment was the wedding cake. This interval.;
time was about an hour and a half.
About eleven o'clock the rain ceased, and the weather
note began to assume a more chcerfUl aspect, and the
couwenacces of the multitudes who had congregated
and were dripping with wet suddenly brightened, and
in the hope of their anticipated desires being soon grati-
fied, appeared to forget the very unenviable situations.
tly this time the whole line from Buckingham Palace
to the garden entrance of St. James's Palace was lined
‘vilh Horse Guards.
The Archbishop of Canterbury was the first of the
iensinent Ecclesiastics, who took part in the important
liminess of the day who was in attendance. His

The first of the distinguished parties who had seats
".„l'Propriated to them- aogst the Peers was his
"r‘ee the Duke of Sumthnerland, and two beautiful
tiourr; girls, his daughters, who wore in their Lead-
areas, otherwise ornamented, various green wreaths of
o
wets ; the scat to which they were shown was that
mtuediately adjoining the boost pas to the left close by
e Wall. The following personreges saw the cere-
,vt!'Y from their seats. We give them in the order in
melt they sat from the altar :

In this were also seated thefollo.ving : —Lerd John

of lb.! F.1;!,.-. The ipectat.oNl l'rc`
served from the danger of accidents, as was the case at
the Coronation, by the keeling down, &e., of unsafe
erections.
From the time of her Majesty's entering St. James's
Palace the greatest interest appeared to be felt by the
crowd.
The Park presented one mass of human beings ; it
was estimated there must have been at least fifty thou-
sand persons present.
Most of the spectators wore white favours, and in
spite of the unfavourable weather, and the wet and
miserable state of the Park, they waited %vitt' the
greatest anxiety and good temper for the appearance of
the procession.
The equipages of the nobility, foreign ambassadors,
&c., were of a splendid description, and elicited the
warmest 'mark of approbation. The windows of the
south end of St. James's-street were crowd,cl by fashion-
ably attired females wearing white satin ribbons. and
scarfs in honour of the day, and the gentlemen even in
the streets displayed white rosettes of a tasteful deserip
tion on their breasts, hating a lily projecting from the
centre, and bearing in one of the bows the words ‘• Vic-
toria and Albeit,' in gold.
At eleven o'clock the Royal Horse Guards (Blue)
made their appearance, wearing in their caps the mar-
riage favour, and were loudly cheered in their progress
towards Buckingham Palace-.

The Queen's arrival was announced by the band, &c.,
playing the NAtioaal. Anthem. Daring the interval
bet- en the commencement of the music and her Ma-
j,sty's arrival, the Prince ft-Em:nth), looked back to the
Chapel entrance to watch the approach of his august
Bride.

Her Majesty, on her entering the Clapcl,- was re-
ceived by all within its Walls s!anding. She looked, we
thought. a little affected, as if the solemnity and im-
portance of the day had produced its ❑atural effect
upon her appe;rance. The bridal procession, as it ad-
vanced along the centre of the Chapel, had a most beau-
tiful effect to those whose good fortune it was to be,
able to sec it. •

Her Majesty ha‘ing advanced to the Haut Pas, took
her scat on the foldtstool to the left hand of the bride-
groom, and the service was commrne'd, the Archh:shop
of Canterbury leaving his seat and advane:ng to the
front of the altar railing, with the book from which ha
read the ger‘ice in his hands.

Of the ceremony it is only necessary to say that it
diff,..‘red in nothing except the exalted rank of the prin-
cipal personage;, from that used at the marriage of any
of her Majesty's subjects.
It was read with very great dignity by the officiating.
prelate, and seemed to impress .its beauties as a sacred
rite upon all who heard it.

The Priace pronounced the words required from
bridegrooms, in a tone of softened keling, while her
111.:josty spoke the few words allotted to her in a much
firmer and more distinct tone.
Her it.laj::sy was given away by her royal uncle the
.Duke of Sussex, who had his place close to the altar, on
her Majesty's left hand.
When the ceremony was concluded her Majesty
hissed very affectionately bath her royal uncles and
the Queen Dowager, and giving her lrand to her rayal
Husband, the procession having been re-formed, left the
Chapel.

On her way do.vn the Q leen saluted several persons
to the right and left hand, whom in a few has'y
glances she threw around she Earl iirne to recognise.
Within a quarter of an hour, the wi:eic of the spec-
tators of this great nation :l event had Lit the Chapel.

THE ILOYAL WEDDING.
(Prom the Globe.)

Our columns are this day devoted almost exclusively
to the joyous national e:cot for which preparations have
be en in progress for several weeks, to which the public
attention has been directed, and by which its delighted
anticipations have been excited to an extent only
equalled by what would be produced by the mari-iage of
a much-loved dan;hter or sister, when there interposed
no circumstanne to alloy the pure ft-ticity of the scene.
• Such, we are justified in saying; without exposing- our-
selves to the imputation of hyperbole, is the kcling with
which the dawn of this interesting day was hailed by
couotless thousands of loyal hearts ; who, to the
devotion of true subjects, add the warmth of re-
spectful affection which the youth and virtues of
Britain's Queen have. kindled in the hearts of her
people—an affection which the petty annoyances and
paltry insults 'to which she has been subjected by the
base instruments of a disappointed and degraded faction
have but tended to increase and confirm.
The spontaneous manifestations of the general joy
with which the marriage of our Queen is greeted by
her people, derive increased interest from a prevalent
and well--grounded conviaion that the union cf Victoria
and Albert is one in which the heart's preference has
dictated the selection of- a consort ; and that in the
domestic and social circle of her palace our beloved
Queen will enjoy what the splendours of empire cannot
give—that calm content and settled satisfaction the
marriage union can alone in.part, when love forms the
bond, and sympathy has previously made the contract-
ing parties one.

(From. the Courier.)
This is a day on which, if ever, polities should be
mute and party feelings postponed to general rejoicing.
But not so have Knisters understood and Ministe-
rial journals practised it. First and foremost, before
recurrence to trngratelul themes, let us offer however
the homage of the heartfelt congratulations of loyal
subjects to our acgust and lovely Soverein on the
oceas:on of the most interesting as the most solemn act
of her life. May the Royal Marriage be fruitful of
all the blessings of private lit.e to the Illustrious
Pair, and the auspicious harbi:c no lessof happiness
and prosperity to, tie empire at large. May the youthful
stranger whom we have welcomed, adopted, ennobled.
cod right royally endowed, prove worthy of the
destinies to which he is called, and in assuring the felicity
of her io whom ecotre the hopes and the affections of
nations make the only but most rateful return within
his power. And may the sounds of gladness heard this
happy day in palaces penetrate and be re-echced equally
from the most lowly cottage end the humblest, but not
least herrst of hearts in her Majesty's dominions. Even
as we write the consummation or the great contract is
bring anoounced with tie thunders of artillery, and
those arc joined together according to God's holy law
whom no man shall part asunder.

(From the Post of yesterday.)
The solemnization of her Mo,j-sty's nuptials has af-
forded the Ministers cf the Crown another opportunity
of showing to tliTI world how much they are entsmius to
the true dignity and happiness of their Royal Mistress,
and cf the illustrious P:inee whose Lite is about to be
indosgolubly associated with hers.
It will be universllly felt by the right-alluded and
truly loyal people of Engl.md that the dignity of the
Throne required the celebration of the marriage of the
Sovereign to be presented to the public in the light of a
high and important national solemnity. It will be per-
ceived with indignation and contempt by this loyal and
patriotic penle that Ministers have done every thing in
their power to degrade this national
_solemnity into a
mere party pa,realit.

The advisers of the Sovereign have thought fit to
exclude from this august ceremonial the whole of the
Peers of Great Britain and Ireland who do not be-
long to their own party in the State, with two excep-
tions.

Oac of these exceptions is the Earl of Liverpool;
whose exclusion, as he has the honour of erjoying her
Alajesty's personal friendship, Ministers Luvc not dared
to attempt.

The. oilier is the Duke of Wellington, whose ex-
clusion, as lie is the obj,Tt of respect, gratitude, aril
admiration to Great Britain and to Europe, they have
not dared to accomplish. That they
,have meditated
this exclusior, however, is sufficiently e:ear ; for it was
not until Thursday night List at the earliest, we I:c-
-lic:ye, not until Friday—at the utmost three
days and a half before the event, that the conqueior
of Waterlo3 received perinissien to approach the pre-
sence of the Sover,ign of Great Britain on an occasion'
so important to herself and to Ler people.
By the inciiicriminate exclusion, with the above ex-
ceptions, of the whole Conservative Peerage, Mit.i.tcrs
have committed against her Mijesy and her Royal
Consort the deep offence of divesting the most interest-
ing and important scene in which either will ever be
of more than half the lustre which- should
naturally have surrounded it. Nor can this deep
offence long escape the displeasure of the Royal pair ;
for, skilful as Ministers may be in the art of glozing,
they cannot be skilful enough in this courtly art to die-
guise for any conzhietabla period a truth so obvious as

{Oll,-;--7 1!:0-. was performed

nance, and- be merciful unto us," &c. (C. King.)
Anthem, " Blessed be thou, Lard God of Lrael,"

ARRIVAL OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
PRINCE ALBERT.
At half-past twelve precisely, the drums and trumpets
sounding along the passages leading to the Chapel,
announced the approach of the procession of the Royal
Bridegroom.
The entrance of the Prince after the music had
ceased was the signal for the whole aseemblage rising ;
he came up the body of the Chapel, accompanied right
and left by his Serene Highness the Duke of Saxe
Coburg, his father, and his brother the Hereditary
Duke.
He looked remarkably well, and wore his hair turned
aside in front from the left : he was babited in the full
dress uniform of the Guards, and had on each shoulder
a large white favour ; he also wore the order of the
Garter.
Oa his Royal Highness reaching the Ilaut Pas he
was introduced to her Majesty the Queen Dowager,
whose hand he kissed, as did his father and elder
brother, and after conversing a brief time with her
Majesty, the Prince and his august relations took
their seats.
Prince Aihert carried a cadeau of splendid workman-
ship contaioing the ring, which he handa to the
Queen Dowager for her -examination. Tie Prince
looked remarkably well, full of animation and gcod
.spirite7.
While waiting for the arrival of the Royal bride, the
Prince was in:reduced respectively to the two Arch-
bishops and the Bishops of London.
Just as ele first sound of the trumpets announced the
approach of her most gracious Majesty the Queen's
procession, the sun broke into the Chapel Reyal, which,
from the obscurity of the morning, hod looked up to
that time rather sombre : many hailed this auspicious
sun-beam as a happy oaten.
