MARRIAGE OF THE KING OF PORTUGAL.
LISBON, May l9.-After many DAYS of preparation,
| the arrangements for the reception of the Queen
nave been made on a scale of magnifcence which
the oldest inhabtant of Lisbon must admit eclipses
every former and similar display.
The King has evidently determined to make the
present occasion one "of pomp, of triumph. and of
revelllng;" and of viewing all the magnificent ar
rangements, is reminded of the times recorded
by the Portuguese chronicers, when the banoueting
room of Whitehall rang to the ''Health of Kate of
| the Royal House of Lisbon" and Catherine of Bra
ganza, attended by the Earl of Sandwich sailed on
poard the Royal Charles to marry our monarch of
merry memory.
The royal squadron reported off the port
yesterday afternoon, and in order to view the pas
sage OF the vessel over the bar, took place on
p"ara the steamer Lusitania, in company with a
goodly collection of the fashion and beauty of Lis
Don. Alter pursuing voyage as far as the Rock,
aud passing the RenaEn, which had outstripped or
lost the rest OF the fleet, met the Bartholomew
Diaz near the Rock of Lisbon. She was steaminp
in advance Of the Curacoa as we'll as of She IynxS

boats, lighters and small steamers, galv ornament
ed with flags, were on the water as well as several
| river steamers, and the tiny craft of ;he Lisbon
! yacht club
The view itself well repaid the trouble. To the
right the yellow Costa with its strand girdled by
the blue Atlantic and stretching in the distance to
the bold promontory of Espichel; on the left the
| rccks OF Lisbon and the Monsanto mountains with
| the towers and spires of the city in the back
| ground and the noble Tagus spreading its wealth
OF waters "betwcen the banks that bear the vine'
! altogether 4 view only equalled by that of the
Bay of Naples or the Golden Horn. Her Majesty
stood on the deck of the yacht along with her
brother and Duke de Terceira, and every now and
then waved her white kerchief in gracious ac-
| acknowledgements
No sooner had the yacht anchored in front of the
palace than Don Pedro went on board in the state
barge, rOwed by one hundred lusty AIgarviOs along
with his father the ex-regent. and the elder branch
ees of the royal family. believe the meeting-the
! hrst tor the young cOupie-was somewhat embar-
rassed; and the king, who, by the way, is rather
too much covered with the dust of the schools to be
| well versed in matters Of galantry, showed more
reserve and nervousness than was expected
! esterday morning, however, was heralded by a
saiVo from the castle OF St. George and the vessels
otwar, and the movement among the troops showed
the marriage was fixed for the 18th although many
had been busy circulating that it would not take
place till the 18th, Tuesday being esteemed an un-
lucky day, because an unfortunate infante the son
OF Don John !, was married on Tuesday and died
three days afterwards. About ten o'clock, amid
! thunders of artillery, and accompanied by crowds
/ OF boats, the war vessels all dressing with flags
and manning yards, his Majesty went on board
! the Bartholomew Diaz, accompanied by the royal
family, the chiet officers of the palace, and many
! of the nobility, and brought Queen Stephane
and her suite to the water-steps of the Praea dc
! COmmerciO.

decorated. In another state coach-all of which,
