WEDDING PRESEN I'S OF KINGLEOPOLD
TO THE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.

It is the custom of the Continent for a bridegroom to
Present to his lady, on the eve of their union, a harulsome
collection of jewels, contained in what is called a
enrbeille de sore. The fashion of the corbeilles varies
from ,eason to season. The corbeille presented by King
Leopold to the Princes Louise, consisted of a gothic chest
of ebony, inlaid with silver, in a damask pattern, awl
studded with oriental pearls. This, we must admit,
sounds somewhat funeral, but its contents offered an
ample apolo2v. In the first place, a magnificent suite of
diamonds, consisting of a necklace, comb, and wreath of
"heat ears, the latter made so as to take to pieces, and
become applicable in various other forms; besides a
variety of brooches, intended fel. looping up the drapery
of Court dresses, and clasping on bouquets. 'A complete
suite of different coloured stones, nniunted in gold so lightly
that the setting was invisible, and a great variety of wheat
ears in emerald, chrvsophrase, jacynths, topazc,, chi yso.
liter, and other stones, representing wheat in every shade
of its growth. A set of Neapolitan shells, anti another of
antique cameos, richly set in gold, besides a peat variety
of gold chains, some light, others very massive. Two
studs for night dresses, of large single diamonds. Eight
eachemere shawls, four being square, and four long.
Scarfs in every variety of lace, viz.—Alencon and Brus-
sels point, Lisle, Mechlin, Valenciennes, Chantilly ; be-
sides some curious varieties in caehetnere, embroidered
'sith gold, silver, and pearls. A dress of silk muslin
(one of the new French stuffs), embroidered in hunches
of grapes, of which the fruit was composed of amethysts.
A dress of Chinese silk, painted in bouquets of flowers by
the hands of the first artist, enclosed in a case of japan,
painted in flowers a la Claieoise, and richly gilt. A
great variety of what are called Cadeaux de Corbeille,
or wedding presents, accompanied this beautiful el est.
Among others, a set of chimney ornaments, a la Francaise,
consisting of clock, candelabra, and vases, composed of oak
leaf, green enamel, and gold. A breakist service to
match, with a beautiful plateau of the saute. Another
breakfast service of silver gilt. A dressing-case, work-
box, and writing desk, en suite, of crystal and gold, lined
wath rich velvet. Several beautiful cases of oriental
Japan, filled with birds of Paradise, heron's feathers, mara-
bout and ostrich feathers, and the richest plumes, in all
their varieties. Several pieces of velvet, brocade, blonde,
gold and silver stuffs, and rich silks of every description ;
besides an infinite variety of trinkets anti ornaments for
the embellishment of a dressing-room or boudoir, each con-
tained in a travelling-case of the richest kind. The
toous"au, or wedding clothes, presented by Louis Philip
his daughter, were of corresponding magnificence, and
were forwarded to Brussels some days previous to the
arriage.
