THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL,

The illustrious guests invited to be present at the
approaching royal nuptials continue to arrive in rapid
succession.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Saxe Cobourg Gotha
reached Buckingham Palace shortly before midnight on
Friday, from Paris ; and on Saturday evening, at 10
o'clock, the Duchess of Saxe Cobourg Gotha arrived
direct from Germany.
His Royal Highness Prince William of Baden also
arrived in London on Saturday, and proceeded direct to
Buckingham Palace. The gentlemen of his suite are
staying at Farrance's Hotel.
Oa Saturday afternoon her Royal Highness the
Princess of Prussia, mother of Prince Frederick William,
arrived at Buckingham Palace, from Derlin. The Count
Boos Waldeck and other members of her Royal High-
ness's suite are provided with rooms at Featon's H
Yesterday his Majesty the King of the Belgians,
accompanied by the Duke de Brabant and the Count de
Flandres, arrived at Calais by special train from
Brussels. The royal party were received at the railway
station with military honours, and escorted to Dessin's
Hotel, where they passed the night. The King will
leave Calaie at eight o'clock this morning in one of the
Belgian Government steam packets, and his Majesty
may be expected to arrive in London about midday.
The preparations at St. James's Palace having been
finally completed on Saturday, it is expected that the
Queen will pay a visit of inspection in the course of this
day.

It is a sufficiently significant circumstance, we
take it, that the mercantile immorality of the pre-
sent age has been very lately, and very sternly
reprobated by two eminent chiefs among that
most conspicuous class of Observers, the Novelists
of our generation. The one speaking from the
judicial bench with juriqical authority. The other
addressing himself to the community at large from
the literary rostram of one of the most popular
and influential of our weekly periodicals. The
circumstance, we say, of these two men, so speak-
ing, -
is, we. repeat it, in itself, in every way, to
