THE BRIDE'S BOUDOIR.

4.scending the staircase, on the right of the land-
ing is the bride's boudoir, an apartment of singular
beauty, entirely refurnished and fitted up in ex-
quisite taste. The walls are of white and gold, with
gigantic mirrors, rising from the floor to the ceiling,
placed round the room, which contains an elegant
console table, with toilette requisites. The ceiling
is painted a delicate white, picked out with gold,
in keeping with the elegant paper with which the
walls are covered. To this apartment the Princess
was conducted upon her arrival, and here her Royal
Highness remained until summoned to lead the
bridal procession.
THE QUEEN'S BOUDOIR.

Turning to the left, on reacting the top of the
staircase, the Royal Bourdoir is entered. This was
devoted to the use of her Majesty, and here the
bridesmaids assembled to receive their illustrious
charge. The walls are hung with paper of a hand-
some gold pattern on a white ground. The cornice
is gilt. The curtains are white lace, and have very
rich silk draperies—crimson, flowered with gold and
bordered with crimson velvet and gold lace. The
toilette table is covered with Honiton lace over rose-
coloured satin, festooned with silver cords, tassels,
and fringe, with looking-glasses and rose-coloured
candles. The table is also adorned with a superb
pincushion of white lace, and some exquisite
Limoges vases filled with flowers. The frames of
the mirrors are carved and gilt. The furniture is
covered with crimson silk damask. The door and
panelling of the room are white and gold, and the
floor is covered with a crimson carpet. This is a
most elegant room, and one worthy of the august
personage for whom it was fitted up. The most
remarkable and novel feature in connection
with it is its floral decorations, more espe-
cially at this season of the year. These decorations
are due to the taste and energy of Lady Hall, who
personally superintended the whole of them. Toe
idea of introducing floral decorations originated
with her ladyship, and was at once caught at by the
chief commissioner of Works, who sent for a large
body of his Welsh retainers annually to decorate
the seat of the right hon. baronet on festive occa-
sions. The whole reflects the highest credit upon
her ladyship's skill and taste.

QUEEN ANNE'S ROOM.

The first glimpse which the privibit;ed few ob-
tained of the Royal party was in Qlle9ll Anne's
Room, at the eastern end of which, 12 rows of

accommodation of ladies of the highest rank. This

spat tment adjoins the Drawing Room, from which
it is entered. The procession passed along th-
centre of the Throne Room and the Drawing Room,
into Queen Anne's Room, divergi*g to the left as it
approached the raised seats in this apartment, pass-
ing into the Tapestry Room, along one side of
which four rows of seats for spectators are erected.

QUEEN ANNE'S ROOM.

The first glimpse which the privileged few ob-
tained of the Royal party was in Queen Anne's
Room, at the eastern end of which, 12 rows of
seats, rising one above another, are erected for the
accommodation of ladies of the highest rank. This
apartment adjoins the Drawing Room, from which
it is entered. The procession passed along the
centre of the Throne Room and the Drawing Room,
into Queen Anne's Room, diverging to the left as it
approached the raised seats in this apartment, pass-
ing into the Tapestry Room, along one side of
which four rows of seats for spectators are erected.
THE ARMOURY.

The small Armoury, which bristles with all kinds
of weapons grouped in stars and trophies, is also
fitted up with seats for about 100, or rather less.
From this chamber the procession passed out on to
the Chapel Gallery, or grand staircase of the Pa-
lace, where the most ingenious arrangements were
made for the convenience of more spectators, who,
while enjoying the sight, themselves enhanced the
beauty of the scene. This staircase has been
superbly re-decorated, and at its foot, from the
ground to the coiling, rises a magnificent mirror.
The Palace proper was now left, and the procession
passed along a covered corridor, or rather a pavilion,
which has been built up on the west side of the
Flag or Colour Court, into
THE COLOUR COURT.
This is one of the greatest improvements of the
Palace. It presents the same appearance of
solidity as the Palace itself, and so com-
pletely has the delusion been kept up that
you imagine you are walking through a series of
=6l ) halls. Here accommodation is provided
for about 500 personages. It is richly hung with
crimson cloth, and the hangings decorated with fes-
toons of flowers. The glasses placed in the cos-
ridor, and which have so much improved that part
of the building, were accidentally discovered in
one of the unused rooms, where they were placed
when the old house of the Speaker of the House of
Commons was burnt down ; and it was thought
that they might be made available instead of being
left as useless lumber,

EPITHALAMIUM.

All hearts and hopes are with thee at this hour,
Thou fair young bride ! of English brides the flower •
Thou of the freak high-heart, and Saxon mien,
The first-born daughter of oar best-lov'd Queen.
All in thy joy are joyful, for we know
This Royal pomp is no mere gilded show,
No cold state-pageant, but a rite that binds
With holy ties "a marriage of true minds;"
The willing work of thy white hand creates
A bond of union for two mighty States ;
But, more than this— its genial clasp imparts
A glow of rapture to two loving hearts.
Swift speed the years ; but yesterday the voice
Of those hoarse heralds bade the realm rejoice
At thy auspicious dawning into life,
And now their thunders welcome thee—a wife.
Brief was thy virgin youth—but not too short
To learn those lessons rarely conned at court--
The piety, whose roots are hearts, not creeds,
Whose fruit, are gentle lives and noble deeds ;
The wisdom never taught by text or tome ;
The living sermon of a virtuous home.
Thy mother is thy model; be like her;
No choicer boon thy Queenship can confer
On thy lord's future lieges ; the firm mind,
The truthful nature, simple yet refined,
The high clear courage, and the noble zeal
For England's glory and the Empire's weal,
The pure affections, and the spotless life
Of the fond mother and the loving wife—
oraces nice tries. L.",
And kept her safe 'mid all the storms of Atte,
Founding her throne en that unshaken base
The loving homage of a free-born race.
Thou, teo, young Prince ! by holiest bonds allied
To the proud realm that reared thy Island Bride,
Learn here the lore contented millions teach—
Free trade, free thought, free worship, and free speech.
Deep in thy heart the generous seed be sown
And let it bear rich fruitage round thy throne ;
Rule as they rule in England—let no trace
Of feudal folly vex that loyal race,
Which, ripe fer freedom, struggles to be free,
And, tired of pedants, hopes plain sense from thee.

Farewell ! be great and happy—may the years
Bo liberal of smiles and scant iu tears.
May children bless your life, and build your like ;
With liomefelt bliss a people's love combine ;
So may ye raign—no words can wisha you more—
As Albert and Victoria reigned before.

MARRIAGE

OF THE

PRINCESS ROYAL.

THIS DAY.

The interesting event of the marriage of her
Royal Highness Princess Victoria Princess Royal
of England with Prince Frederick William of
Prussia was celebrated this day at noon. It seems
to some of us but the other day that the
first judgment was passed on the first of
the new generation of England's royal family.
It was the decision of a great judge, in the official
sense, and of a well-qualified one in the domestic
sense. When the Queen's first-born was carried,
at the age of one minute or so, into the next
room, for the inspection of the chief Ministers of
State, Lord Chancellor Cottenham pronounced on
her, "A. fine little lady as ever I saw ; mad he
bad seen an unusual number in his own house.
How -very recent that anecdote appears to those
who are accustomed to the passage of busy years !
Yet that "fine little lady" is to-day to leave the
altar a wife. She then inaugurated a happy do
mastic period in a royal house, and to-day she is
to inaugurate, we trust, another happy period in
another royal house.
London, England, 1858-01-25

LONDON, MONDAY, JAN. 25, 1858.

The Royal Marriage has this day been accom-
plished. The Daughter of England has assumed
new responsibilities, and become the denizen of a
different nation. She is now a Princess of
Prussia, and, according to the general rule, her
sympathies and interests will be with her adopted,
in place of her native country, and henceforward
she will see but little of England or the English ;
for, strange to say, not a single one of her
ladies-in-waiting bears an English name or an
English title. It was not so with the foreign
ladies imported into England. They at least
had invariably some of their own countrymen or
countrywomen to participate in their banishment
from Fatherland.

Since the matter can no longer be avertei, we
earnestly hops that she may lead a protracted and
happy ltfe, and that every evil augury may
be averted from her fair young head. Ther© is
not one of the toadies who babbles about the
'marriage that has just taken pi tee, as being au
event of political importance and joy to England,
or "of its being a case where hearts and hands
are equally united, can more thoroughly desire that
she may enjoy long enduring ftlicity than ourselves.
It is to the system we are opposed, more especially
se there are four more Princesses besides four
Princes of the Royal Family, and it would
be ridiculous t,) hope that all their hap-
pinesses can be promoted bf Gorman
alliances. The present may be a fortunate one,
but still it must he regarded as strielly a marriage
de convenance. It is notorious that the engage-
Dint was entered into before the young lady had
attained the age of 10 years, or was at least a
thoroughly understood arrangement, even if the
formal contract had not been completed until she
Fait some 15 years old, or possibly- approaching

THE FLORAL DECORA'

'IONS.

The floral decorations are of a nature so refined
and various that they require especial notice, to
give an idea of the wonderful effect produced by
the productions of nature even in the inclement
month of January. Right and left of the archway
of the State entrance has suddenly arisen a verdant
screen of Portugal laurel and bay trees, which
appear in fine rebel against the scarlet and purple
drapery, by which this opening is adorned, whilst
the whole length of the outside appears to be a
wood of evergreens. A boss of evergreens and
flowers at the highest point is adorned in the
centre with a magnificent knot of the united
colours of England—red, white, and blue—and
Prussia—black and white—in compliment to the
royal bridegroom, Prince Frederick William. On
entering this covered way, beautitul garlands of the
most luxuriant evergreens, and of very large
dimensions, with handsome pendants formed of
tendrils of ivy, are hung from Pillar to pillar
throughout the whole length. The garlands are
formed with a double twist of lawusqnus in fl ewer,
alternated with golden furz.., the centre coil being
made of holly, covered with berries. Over each
column the garlands are united by bridal
knots of white satin and silver, with streamers of
the colours of England and Prussia. A. second
row of garlands of the same description ornaments
the opposite side, and the door by which her
Majesty entered appeared as if set in a frame of the
most exquisite combination of flowers, leaves, and
berries. The windows on both sides of the covered
way have a similar framework, as well as the new
doors for the royal suite, on each side of her
Majesty's entrance, although of course less gor-
geously decorated than the doorway through which
the Queen passed, and over which is an arch formed
of real palm branches. The bannister of the royal
staircase, by which the Queen ascended to her re-
tiring room, is intertwined with the delicate foliage
of a rare creeping plant into which is interwoven
roses and camellias.

in the State of Ohio, and is himself engaged in
a similar occupaticm at a place called Groveport,
about ten miles from Colombo, the capital of that
State. From boyhood he is stated to have exhi-
bited an intense fondness for horses and a remark-
able aptitude for breaking and training them after
the old fashion, until he discovered this more
humane system of treatment, which he has since
practised with the greatest success in his native
State. The subjects on which he has operated have
been in many cases horses reclaimed in a perfectly
wild condition from the American prairies, and in
the course of his experience he has had one arm and
both legs broken. He is accompanied to this coun-
ty!, by Mr. R. A. Goodenough, a gentleman of long
standing and respectability as a merchant and ama-
teur breeder of horses in the city of Toronto, who
brings letters of recomm.,nda ion to the Govern-
ment from Sir Edmund Head, Governor-General
of Canada, and Lieutenant General Sir W. Eyre,
Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Canada. We
believe that Sir Richard Airey and Lord A. Paget
have been requested to inquire into and report
upon the system of treatment adopted by llr.
Rarey in the interest of the Government.

CHURCH RATE FOR WOOLWlCH.l—YeSterclay
afternoon a vestry meeting of the rate-payers of Woolwich
was held to consider the question of making a church-rate
for the ensuing year. The chair was occupied by the Rev.
Henry Brown, A.M. (rector). The. estimates for the rate
having been read, Dr. Richardson moved, and Mr. Webber
seconded, that a church rate be made of 2d. in the pound.
The Rev. T. Tuffield (Congregational minister) opposed
the rate. After some discussion the motion for making a 2d.
rate was put, and lost by a large majority, one of the church-
wardens (Mr. Jolly) voting against tberate. Mr. Church-
warden Dixon demanded a poll in favour of the rate, which
was fixed by the chairman to take place on Tuesday and
Wednesday nut.

charged with implication in the military movement
of Friday.

The military have today sworn fidelity to the
new Government.

PARIS, FRIDAY, Dec. 31

The Moniteur of this day announces that the
Emperor has granted a full pardon or commutation
of sentence to 164 persons, who had been convicted
at the sessions or by the ordinary tribunals, two of
whom had been condemned to death.

MARSEILLES, THURSDAY, Dec. 30

'Advices from Constantinople to the 22d state
that the change of Ministry had been postponed.
Ali Pasha is strongly supported by Austria, but
violent scenes had taken place in the council.
The • creditors of the Court are to receive part
payments of their debts.
The Journal de Constantinople represents that
the elections in the Principalities will be delayed
twenty days.
According to advices from Persia, Mr. Murray,
the English Ambassador, has again fallen seriously
ill on his journey. Feruk Khan refuses any other
place in the Ministry than that of Foreign Affairs.
The reconciliation of Affghanistan with Persia
has taken place.

The Paris Correspondent of the Times (second

edition) says
The troubles that have broken out among some
of the Arab tribes are said to be more serious than
at first imagined. General MacMahon started last
night for Marseilles, and returns to his post with
the greatest possible speed. He was to have left
two days ago, but was detained at the desire of the
Emperor, in order to restore a good understanding
between him and Prince Napoleon after some dif-
ference of opinion on matters connected with that
dependency, about which MacMahon thinks that
many years' experience enabled him to know
something. It was desirable that so distin-
guished an officer should not resume his func-
tions with an unpleasant feeling lurking in his
bosom towards the Prince, who, perhaps, is not of
opinion that there is no Imperial road to knowledge.
The General was detained for 48 hours, and in the
meantime came the news of the rising, or whatever
else it may be, among the Kabyles. The gravity of
the matter is, perhaps, exaggerated, but, if so, it
is owing to the total silence of the Parisian press—
no Ministerial journal having got permission, and
no neutral one daring, to utter a word about it.
They may, of course, say what they like about
India and the approaching ruin of the English
domination, but of Algerian troubles not a tittle.
The theatre of the troubles is said to be a mountain
district in the subdivision of Batna, and province
of Constantina. But, whether grave or not, there
can be no doubt of the result—Arab tribes will not
stand against French troops."

DEATH OF aitcIIDEACON WILLIAMS.

We regret to announce the death of the learned scholar
and philologist, the Venerable John Williams, A.rehdeaten
of Cardigan, which took place at his residence, Bushey-
heath, on Monday last, after a long and severe illness. The
Archdeacon was born in 1792, at Ystradmeirig, in Cordi-
ganshire, and educated in his boyhood by his Mint., the
Rev. John Williams, vicar of that parish. He went for a
few months to Ludlow School, where he obtained a scho-
larship, and entering Balliol College, Oxford, was placed,
on taking his degree, in the first class with four others, of
whom one was the celebrated Dr. Arnold. Like the latter,
the Archdeacon chose the life of a public teacher as his
sphere of usefulness—a sphere for which his great bodily
strength, his energy, his wonderful faculty of imparting
knowledge, and his equanimity of temper peculiarly fitted
him. He was for two years a master in Winchester Col-
lege under the well-known Dr. Gabell, and subsequently for
four years with Dt. Richards at Hyde Abbey School. Re-
called to his own country by the gift of the living of Lam-
peter, which was. presented to him by Dr. Burgess, the
Bishop of St. David's, he remained there until, by the ad-
vice of his friend, Sir Walter Scott, he became a candidate
for the rectorship of the Edinburgh Academy, a new school
about to be opened for high classical education in Edin-
burgh. To this honourable position he was elected
unanimously, and for upwards of 20 years his success as a
teacher was proved by the eminence of his pupils; who,
commencing with his first Dux, the present Bishop of
London, fill so many honoured places in Scotland and
England. Living in Scotland in the palmiest days of
Edinburgh society, he was one of a literary set in which at
various times, among many names of note we find those of
Sir Walter Scott, Maculloch, John Gibson Lockhart, Sir
Thomas Dick Lauder, Lord Cockburn, Lord Jeffrey, Pro-
fessor 'Wilson, and Colonel Mure. On Sir Walter Scott's
death the archdeacon read the burial service over his re-
mains at Dryburgh Abbey. From Edinburgh he returned
to his native land and there saw formed under his eyes, and
endowed by the munificence of a fellow-countryman, an in-
stitution for the classical education of those of his country-
men whsoe means would not permit them to enter one of
the public schools of England. In the world of letters he
was known as a Greek scholar of European reputation, and
as the author of qeveral works of deep research and sound
scholarship, among which we name " Homerus," " Life of
Julius Caesar," " Life of Alexander the Great," " Geo-
graphy of Ancient Asia," and essays philosophical, philo-
logical, ethnological, theological, and archeological. To
the cause of Welch history and archaeology of which he
was always the mokt able and successful exponent, he is a
most irreparable lois. The peculiar feature of his cha-
racter was his ardent love of his fatherland, of his people,
its language, customs, and traditions. No one ever
laboured more zealously than he not merely for the welfare
but for the honour of Wales.

THE TURKISH COINING CASE.

TRIAL OF :MR. A. CALVOCORESI.
At 'the Birmingham Court of Quarter Sessions,
on. Wednesday, Antonio Calvocoresi, 25, a Greek
merchant, resident at Manchester, surrendered to
his bail, before Mr. M. D. Hill, Recorder, on an
indictment charging him with having unlawfully
caused to be coined certain Turkish piastres. The
case was respitedfrom last sessions on the prisoner's
applicatio-n to be tried by a jury partly composed of
foreigners.

Adams and Mr. Motteram conducted the
case for the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien appeared
for the defence. --
Mr. Adams stated the case, the principal facts of
which must be familiar to our readers. He narrated
the proceedings attending the introduction of Mr.
Calvocoresi to Messrs. Wood, merchants, of Bir-
mingham, by Mr. Moss, who had , been in the em-
ploy of the firm of Messis. Hamson, of Manchester
—the subsequent endeavours made to induce seve-
ral of the Birmingham manufacturers to undertake
the coining of piastres—the order 'finally given to
Mr. Dipple, a die-sinker, Great Hampton-row—
and the coining of the copper. Mr. Moss, it will
be remembered, was tried at the last sessions on
the charge, and found guilty. The learned counsel
proceeded to exphtin the relative value .of piastres
in Turkey, and said he had no doubt Mr. Calvo-
coresi had been induced by the prospect of a large
profit to engage in the nefarious transaction.
After ample evidence was given in support of
this view, Mr. Dowler having given evidence relat-
ing to the ittterview of Mr. Calvocoresi with him,
witnesses were called to prove the engraving of the
dies and the priioner's apprehension in Manchester,
when he denied that he had received any of the
piastres. Abdullah Effendi, who was sworn on the
Koran, was also called to show that the Turkish
Government retained the coining of money in their
own itandi.

This closed the case for the prosecution, and
Mr. O'Brien briefly addressed the jury for the
defence, calling attention to the fact that there was
nothing to show that there was any intent• to de-
fraud the Turkish GOvernnaent,- inasniuth as the

THE EAST.

Intelligence from Alexandria says :—" The con-
ditions impokd by the English company for the
loan which the Viceroy wished to contract are so
unfavourable that, in spite of the urgent necessities
of the Egyptian treasury, it has been been decided
not to accept them, and the affair is consequently
at an end. Scarcity of money, however, is not,
in the East, whether on the banks of the Nile, or
on the shores of the Bosphorus, any reason for sup-
pressing useless expenditure. At this very moment
they are building on the banks of the Nile, near
Cairo, a magnificent palace at an immense cost.
For the rejoicings on the occasion of circumcising
a son of the Viceroy, 200,000 francs' worth of
fireworks was ordered of a Frenchman. There is
no extravagance in this :if we compare it with the
seven millions which the Sultan has expended in
building and fitting up a theare in Constantinople.
