EAST INDIA HOUSE, 20in JANUAZY, MS.
THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST
INDI t COMPANY DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, That
a Special General Court of the said Company will be held by ad-
journment, at their House, in Leadenhal -street, on WEDNESDAY,
the 27th instant, at eleven o'clock in th' forenoon for the purpose
of continuing the consideration of the following roposed Resolution,
which was moved at the General Court, held on the 13th last, viz.:—
" That the prop sed tr .nsfer of the governing powers of the East
India Company to the Crown is opposed to the rights and
Privileges of the East India Company, is fraught with
danger to the constitutional interests of England, is perilous
to the safety of our Indian Empire, and calls for the resist-
ance of the Corporation by all constitutional means."
JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary.

' prescribed bounds silken cords were placed at the
extremity of each stand, and the intermediate
space kept open for the Prince and Princess was
case•red with a handsome crimson carpet. A fine
collection of red and white camelias in full blossom
was arrang-d on the platform in front of the Royal
recept on room, and over the door blazed a lum•-
nous gas star. One of the staues intended for spec-
tators was appropriated to theEton boys, who mus-
tered upwards of 700 strong ; and above their heads
appeared a tasteful display of banners and laurel-
wreaths, together with a splendid device in gold
lamps, on which, in large and brilliant characters,
" Congratulatur Etona," shone cut conspicuously.
The second stage was occupied by hundreds of the
most distinguished ladies and gentlemen of the
neighbourhood. A place within the more privileged
enclosure was assigned to the-Mayor and his col-
leagues in the magiStracy, and iz their immediate
vicinity were Col. the Hon. Cecil Forrester, of the
Royal Horse Guards Blue, and several of his brother
officers. A dense concourse was also collected out-
side the station, anxious to catch the most transient
glimpse of the Ro3 al cortege.
Shortly after half-past 4 o'clock a detachment of
the Scots Fusilier Guards, under the command of
Col. Paget, marched into the station-yard to form
a guard of honour for the Royal party. At 10
minutes past 5 o'clock the tidings were circulated
that the Royal pair had just left Paddington, and
the general expectancy momentarily increased. The
telegraph next announced that the train had passed
Slough at 5.36, and the excitement of the assem-
blage had reached its climax, when in six brief
minutes later the shrill sound of the engine driver's
whistle broke upon the ear. This was the signal for
a spontaneous outburst of enthusiastic cheers, the
shouts being caught up and renewed again and
again along a lengthened line of spectators.
Amid this tumultuous din, during the whole of
which the tremendous hurrahs of the Eton boys rang
out loud and clear, the special train drove slowly up
the platform. The youthful bridegroom instantly
alighted and gave his hand to -his bride. The ap-
pearance of the Royal pair on the platform elicited
redoubled manifestations of lo)alty, and the
whole scene was indescribably heart-stirring and
affecting. The youthful and illustrious objects of
all this enthusiasm appeared deeply moved at the
thorough heartiness of the welcome accorded them,
and testified their gratitude by repeatedly bowing
to the assemblage. Having shaken hands and ex-
changed a few words of recognition with one or two
of th- principal personages on the platform, Prince
Frederick William led his youthful bride into the
Queen's reception room, through which they had
to pass in order to reach the carriage. which stood
in waiting to convey them to the Castle. The
horses which brought this vehicle to the station—
two handsome grays—had been removed to make
way for the Eton boys, whose enthusiasm had im-
pelled them to solicit the honour of drawing the
Royal carriage through the town to its destination
—an offer which was graciously ae cepted by its illus-
trious occupants. Some twenty or thirty of these
fervid youths having yoked themselves in front of
the chariot, and a greater number lending their as-
sistance to propel it from behind, the cortegs moved
off under the escort of the Fusider Guards, whose
flue bared struck up the National Anthem. Its
route, which lay through the High-street and up
Castle-hill, was brilliantly illuminated, and along
the entire course it was accompanied by a vast mul-
titude, who rent the air with their vehement voci-
ferations. Arrived at the Castle, the Royal pair
took up their abode in the Lancaster Tower, where
an elegant suite of apartments had been specially
fitted up for their reception.
The townspeople celebrated the auripicious event
by a ball hell in the Town-hall, we oh was
gorgeously illuminated for the occasion. The
poorer inhabitants, to the number of 1,800, were
also reeled with substantial fare, and vocal and
instrumental music, in a tent specially erected for
the purpose ; and 2,000 poor children of the town
are to be gratified with a similar entertainment to-
morrow (Tuesday). A liberal subscription has been
raised to defray the expense of these festivities.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS
ROYAL.

CLOSE OF THE CEREMONY.

Hardly had the last words of the Hallelujah
~h,,eus died away in solemn echoes, when the cere-
monial, as arranged by chamberlains and heralds,
ended, and the bride, giving vent to her evidently
long pent-up feelings, turned and flung herself
upon her mother's bosom with a suddenness and
depth of feeling that thrilled through every heart.
Again and again her Majesty strained her to her
heart and kissed her, and tried to conceal her emo-
tion, but it was both needless and in vain, for all
perceived, and there were few who did not share
it. We need not mention how the bridegroom
em'iraced her, arid how, as she quitted him, with
the tears now plainly stealing down her cheeks, she
threw herself. iuto the arms of her father, while her
Royal husband was embraced by the Princess of
Prussia in a manner that evinced all hat only a
mother's love can show. The most affecting recog-
nition, however, took place between the bride-
groom and his Royal father, for the latter seemed
overpowered with emotion, and the former, after
clasping him twice to his heart, knelt and kissed
his parent's hand.
Pee Queen then rose, and, hurrying across the
hautpas with the Prince Consort, embraced the Prin-
cess of Prussia as one sister would another after
long parting, and, turning to the Prince of Prussia,
gave him her hand, which as he stoop,d to kiss she
stopped hint, and declined the condescension by
offering her cheek Instead. But words will feebly
convey -the effect of the warmth, the abandonment
of affection and friendship, with which these greet-
ings passed, the reverence with which the bride
groom salut,cl. her Majesty, tI:H manly heartiness
with which he wrung the Prince Con,ort's hand, for
by the working of his face it was evident he could
not trust his tongue to speak.
After a few minutes had been allowed for the

illustrious pert ouages to recover their composure,
during which the bride again lost hers, while she
received, with all the affecting warmth of a young
and attached family, the congratulations of her
brother and sisters, the procession prepared to
leave the church.

THE DEPARTURE FROM LONDON

(From the Court Circular)

Yesterday was the day appointed for the mar-
riage of the Princess Royal with Prince Frederick
William of Prussia. The Officers of State of the
Household of her Majesty the Queen and the Ladies
and Gentlemen in Waiting-of her Majesty's illus-
trious visitors began to arrive at Buckingham-palace
at a quarter to 11 o'clock.
The Yeomen of the Guard, under the command
of Captain Morton Herbert, the Exun in Waiting,
arrived and occupied their usual station in the
Grand Hall.
A guard of honour of the 'Grenadiers, under the
witaimlginfrarniu4a. mounted
regiment played Mendelssehn's " Wedding Mara:"

It had been generally understood up to almost
the very last moment that the Royal couple would
proceed to Windsor by the high road, and arrange-
end were duly made, but at' a late
ments
la-reat W OSlLtita xsauway :MILSat
was probable their line would be selected for the
conveyance of the illustrious travellers. Prepara-
tions were immediately made at the Paddington
station and a considerable portion of the departure
platform was set apart for the convenience of the
,royal pair. The special train was to start upon the
outer lin of rail, and upon theplatform from which
that line was approached rows of benches were
erected, which were occupied yesterday afternoon
oy hundreds of ladies and gentlemen who were ad-
mitted to take farewell of the young Princess in
whose' welfare and happiness all felt alively interest.
The chasm between the two platforms was bridged
over and covered with crimson carpet, while upon
each side of the door of the Royal waiting-room,
through which the distinguished couple were to
enter the station, other rows of seats had been
erected, and were fully occupied. The special train
consisted of four carriages,—viz., a composite
carriage, one first-class and two Royal saloon
carriages, in the order mentioned, and was ordered
to be iu readiness at a quarter to five o'clock. Long
before that time arrived the s'ation was crowded
with visitors who hadthe privilege of the entris, but
the general ignorance of the fact that ,he mode of
travelling had been changed prevented a very large
attendance of the public out of doors until shortly
before the hour of departure, by whicu tme a
dense crowd was assembled. About 4 o'clock a
guard of honour of the Scots Fusilier Guards,
headee band, and under toe command of
the Hon Captain Astley, entered the station and
took post f tcing the Royal train, but it was not
until several minutes after 5 that the cheering of
the crowd on side proclaimed the arrival of the
newly married pair. Immediately afterwards the
Royal bride and bridegroom entered the station
from the Royal waiting-room, preceded by Captain
Labalmondiere, .ut-Cominissioner of Police,
the Hon. F. Ponsonby, Chairman of the Great
Western Railway Company, and Mr. Saunders,
the Secre'ary. The Princes, who looked pale,
leant upon the arm of the Royal bridegroom, and
was followed only by her lady's-maid and :several
wale attendants. The appearance of the Prince
and Princess was the signal for au outburst of
hearty cheering. The band struck up the Royal
Ani hem,the °Guard presented arms, and the
hearty hurrahs were continued during the progress
of the Royal pair to the railway carriage, aid were
gracefully acknowledged by both. The Princess
wore a dress of white moire antique, with a mantle
and bonnet of the same hue. The Prince wore a
plain dark frock-coat. Little time was permitted
to elapse, and in two minutes after entering the
station the happy couple were seated in the first
Royal carriage ; Mr. Ponsonby and Mr. Sanders
entered another, Mr. Gooch mounted the engine,
the steam was shut off, and the train moved rapidly
forth amid prolonged cheers and hearty congratula-
tions, which were kept up until the whole train
was lost in the evening mist.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRIDE AND BRIDE-
GROOM AT WINDSOR.
It would have been strange indeed if the town of
Windsor, so specially favoured as the abode of
Royalty, had been behind the rest of the country
in the manifestations of affectionate loyalty so uni-
versally elicited by this auspicious event. Arrange-
ments were accordingry made by the corporation
and towuspeople
.to give a bitting reception to the
Royal pair on their arrival at Windsor to commence
tlieir honeymoon. The day was beautifully fine—.
the winter sun shining out brilliantly, and the dis-
play of flags and banners, laurel-wrea: hs and ever-
greens, from innumerable windows and housetops,
together with the constant stream of people in their
best attire and wearing white rosettes on their
breasts, who thronged the principal thoroughfares
from an early hour, gave to the old town a very
gay and animated aspect. Indeed, it seemed as
though all Windsor—excepting those who were
busy trimming their lamps for the coming illumina-
tion—had turned out to make general holiday.
The termintis of the Great Western Railway,
where the illustrious couple were to arrive on their
first wedding trip, was, however, the great centre
of interest, and eager crowds flocked to the station
long before the preparations going on there for their
reception were half-completed. On the arrival
platform two large wooden stages, capable of con-
taining upwards of 1,000 persons, were erected ont')g-rooml in front
either side of her Majesty's waiting-room,
of which the Royal travellers were to alight. To

PrincP Frederick Charles, Prince Frederick Albert,

nth to the right (the east side of, the chapel), the

the Rsv. Dr. Wesley, Sub-Dean of her Majesty's
Chapels Royal, took their places by the altar,--the
Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Ox-
ford being to the west.
The altar was covered with crimson velvet, orna-
mented with gold lace, and on it were displa ed
some large salvers of silver-gilt sacramental cups,
and two large silver-gilt caudlesticka, with four
smaller salvers of solid gold. A chair of State, of
crimson and gold furniture, was placed for the
Queen to the west sile of the altar, and seats also of
crimson and gold for the other members tf the Itayal
Family. The Communion rails were small twisted
pillars, alternate blue and gold, the tap being crim-
son velvet.
At 2J minutes past 12 the drums and trompe's
announced the approach of her Majesty the Que,n,
who entered the Chapel in procession at 24 minutes
past 12 o'clock, the band playing the march from the
Occasional Oratorio'' (Handel). The Queen was,
conducted to the chair of State by the Marquis of
Breadalbane, Lord Chamberlain, and Lord Ernest
Bruce, Vice-Chamberlain. The Prince of Wales
and Prince Alfred took their places on the opposite
