THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE ROYAL
MARRIAGE.

The preparations for the due celebration of this august
ceremony are still going on with great rapidity. The num-
ber of applications at the Lord Chamberlain's-office.for ad-
mission to St...faines's Palace on the occasion are unprece••
dented, and hourly increase. Every effort is being made to iti-
Crease the accommodation in the suite of apartments through
which the procession is.to pass, on its way front the throne-
room to the Chapel Royal._ Those apartments are the.ball-
room , or Queen Anne's drawing-room, the tapestry chamber,
the. armoury. It will then descend the grand staircase, pass
through the ancient entrance into the , state apartments and
along the colonnade in the colour quadrangle, leading into
the chaj'el. The colonnade is surrounded by a wooden en-
closure, extending into the quadrangle, containing benches
with six rows of seats, each of which is calculated to contain
from 90 to 100 spectators, Passing onwards, the next place
devoted to the same purpose is the recess immediately above
the grand staircase : there are here about 11 rows of seats,
each of. which will hold. from 10 to.l2.persons. Of all the
places (except the Chapel •Royal) from whence.a view of the
gratifying . spectacle can be obtained, this is by far the most
favourable one. The eye can rest upon the procession
as it passes along the entire suite, of state apartments, ex-
tending from the ball-room to the grand. staircase and thence
downwards till it passes into the colonnade. The spectators
here will, of course' have the same advantage on the return
of the procession. The view in the other places must of ne-
cessity
be limited to the period the procession is passing

and in fact, all along the line of road to Windsor, similar de-
monstrations of joy and affection will be exhibited : and at
Windsor a congratulatory address has been already prepared,
which will be presented by the mayor the members of the
borough, and a deputation of the inhabitants. The poor will
be provided with a substantial dinner ; the corporation and
principal inhabitants will dine together in celebration of the
event at the Town-hall, where there will he .a grand ball in
"the evening; and the town, as well as Eton, be ge-'
nerally illuminated.

The mercers and drapers, of-the metropolis are on the alert
in providing neck handkerchiefs and ribands with a. great va-
riety of devices adapted -to the occasion of the royal. mar-
riage. The city abounds with beautiful specimens of lily
white_rarves, handkerchiefs, and ribbons, figured with _the
crown, thelover's knot, the rose, shamrock, and thistle, &c.
Applications have, we understand, been made to the Lord
Mayor to order -a.general illumination in the city on the day
of the royal marriage, but we believe. that his lordship will
not interfere, and that the other authorities likewise contem-
plate an illumination as likely to lead to so mach annoyance,
and.to be attended with.so, great. an expense, that the pro
poSal cannot be adopted with propriety.
The directors of the poor of the parish of St. Giles-in-the-
fields and St. George, Bloomsbury, at their alternate weekly
Meeting. on Tuesday last, unanimous ygave directions that
tin the day of the Queen's marriage the whole of the 750 in-
mates of-the workhouse in Broad-street and at Heston should
have a. holyday, and be regaled (in the same manner as on
the day of the coronation and on Christmas Day) with roast
beef and plum pudding. The allowance to the adults is to
be four ounces of dressed beef without bone, eight ounces of
pudding, and a pint of Combe's porter, in addition to the
usual food of the day. The children and infants are to have
a proportionate quantity of food and twenty dozen of oranges
distributed amongst them. ' - •
We are glad to learn that the very laudable example of her
Majesty the Queen Dowager, in entertaining the poor children
of St. Martin' parish with a dinner .on Monday. next, in ce-
lebration of the Queen's marriage, is likely to be followed in
Many of the parochial and national schools, both in and about
London... To mark.a day so eventful in British history, and
so iMportant to be appreciated by tlierising generation, can-
not fail to have a beneficial and moral effect ; and we hope
this generous and truly Engiish feeling of hospitality and
good fellowship will be eitedNively followed. throughout the
land. We„,,hear that in riaany,of the schools where a dinner
cannot be conveniently provided,-plum cakes will be given to
the children. It i&.expected that London will be generally
illuminated, and We,know, in many instances, preparations
are making Upon a aeale of great splendour, in addition to the ,
brilliant effect which_ will be *duped by the club-houses.
THE QUE1::1173.-MXKILIAGE.—PARISH OF ST. MARY-LE-
STRA;No.-.--Tfie'Ohildren of the parochial schools of this parish
Willdinelogether on Monday next, to celebrate the nuptials
of her Afajesty with- Prince Albert of • Saxe Cobourg and
Gotha. -Her Maje Sty is the Lady of the Manor of 'this parish.
The churchwardens, with Mr. Lowe,•of the' Strand, and Mr.
Thurston, of Catherine-street, have, in,.the most handsome
manner deterMitiedtq discharge the cost of the entertainment
' out of their private purses. The dinner will consist of good
old English fare, roast beef and plum pudding. It is to be
helped that this spirited example will he' followed in the Bur-
-1 rounding parishes of Westminster.

As it now certain that her Majesty will be married on
Monday next, the 10th instant, preparations for celebrating
the ceremony in a proper manner have already commenced.
At a meeting on Friday in the Exchange-romps, Glasgow,
called by circular, the. Lord Provost in the chair, it was re-
solVedthat the happy event should be celebrated by a grand
full dreii ball, in the Assembly-rooMs. At a meeting of the
Edinburgh town council, held on Tuesday, it appeared to be
thc general feeling of the members, that, owing' to the ex -
iSense, danger, and inconvenience, an illumination was inex-
pedient ; and that a bonfire and fireworks on the Calton-hill
would, on the whole be better, provided sufficient funds
could be raised for the purpose. The matter, however, was
not finally determined.--Greenock Advertiser.
The inhabitants of Maidstone and the. neighbourhood will
dine together on the day of the marriage to celebrate the happy
event.-

At Newcastle similar arrangements have been made for the
benefit of the poor and for the recreation of the tradesmen.
There is to be a general holiday, and the committee of the
Teetotallers' Society have given notice that they will go in
procession, and attend Divine service, and afterwards a col-
lection will be made from among that body, the proceeds of
which are to be applied to the benefit of some charitable es-
tablishment.
• In most of the principal towns in Essex, Bucks, and Berk-
shire, similar proceedings are to take place.

THE QUEEN'S BRIDE CAKES. •
BeSides the colossal cake we described yesterday, anti which
her Majesty's confectioner, Mowditt, constructed by corn-
.mandlor.her Majesty's table at Buckingham Palace, we have
since been favoured with the sight of another immense cake,
constructed by Gunter, of Berkeley-square, who, with Ward,
of Bond-street, are general confectioners to the Queen.' The
cake at Gunter's weighs, in solid edible materials, about 250
pounds, besides the ornamental parts. The latter are very
tastefillly arranged, in stages above the solid base, which is
not so great in diameter as AloWditt's, but is much thicker.
There is a profusion of orange sprigs and flowers entwined
with-myrtle and roses. The deep edge of the cake is also
adorned.with bands of rotes with longs stems and leaVes, the

It will be placed before the Duchess of Kent at the grand
evening banquet in St. James's Palace; Besides this one,
there are thirteen others, each weighing from 201hs. to 301b5.,
