the professions. We subioin as perfec
sketch of the proceedings as we car
crowd into our limited space. Much com

Duke of Wellington was the only membe,
of the Opposition invited to be presen. a
the royal nuptials.
lhe Opposition had commenced Wig
orous attack on the Ministry, who met
once or twice, with defeats, that did no
strengthen their hopes of continuance in
office. There is probable deficiency Of
SIX millions i'll the revenue for the curren
year; an indirect avowal of which fac
was forced, by the Opposition, from the

to be dated the 9Th of February, 1910.
The Ceremonial,-After her Majesty,
his Royal IIighness the Prince Albert,
and the other Roya! and distinguished
personages had taken their respective pla-
ces, and their ladies in waiting had been
ushered to their seats below the bench of
Pecreses, the Archbishop of Canterbury
advanced, and in clear and benignant
tone of voice, commenced reading the
marriage service contained in our ritual.
The ceremony was precisely that of
our liturgy; the passages left open for the
names, with the initials NJ. and N. being
simply supplied with the names .sAlbert
and Victoria" Thus, the Archbishop
said to the Prince. "'Albcr,, wilt thou have
this woman to thy welded wife, to live
together after Gods ordinance in the no
ly estate Of matrimony! Wilt thou love
her, comfort he, honor, and keep her in
sickness and in health; and, forsaking all
other, keep thee only unto her, as long as
we both shall live!'' To which his Roy
al Highness replied, in firm tone of voice
Il will"
| When the similar inquiry was address
ed to her Majesty, "Victoria, wilt thou
have Albert to thy welded husband. 10
live together otter Gods ordinance in the
holy estate of matrimony. Wilt thou
obey him and serve him, love, honor, and
keep him in sickness and in health; and,
forsaking all other, keep thee only unto
him SO long as ye both shall ive!" The
Queen, in accents which, though full of
softness and music, were audible at the
most extreme corner chapel, replied, 81
will" and on SO doing accompanied the
expression with glance at his Royal
Highness. which convinced all who be-
held it that the heart was with her words.
When the Archbishop inquired, "Who
giveth this woman to be married to this
mans" the Duke of Sussex advanced, and
presented her Majesty to his Royal High
ness.
The usual forms of trolhing faith were
then gone through, and in tone of voice
and with clearness OF expression which
we have seldom Witnessed on similar oc-
casions in much humber walks of life.
Her Majesty's expression of the words,
''love, cherish, and obey" the confiding
look with which they were accompanied,
were inimitably chaste and beautiful. The
exact words spoken were:
81, Albert, take thee, Victoria, to my
welded wife, to have and to hold, from
this day forward, for better for worse, for
richer for poorer, in sickness and in
health, to love and to cherish, till death
us do part, according to Gods holy ordi-
nance: and thereto | plight thee my troth. y
IL, Victoria, take thee, Albert, to nv
welded husband, to have and 10 hold from
this day forward, for better or worse, for
richer for poorer, in sickness and in
health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till
death us do part, according to Gods no.
ly ordinance: and thereto give thee my
troth.'
Prince Albert then placed the ring on
her finger, repeating:
| "With this ring thee wed, with my
