CIandestine Marriage of the Prince o

Clandestine Marriage of the Prince OF
wales.
The London correspondent of the Detroit
Advertiser, abiding to the expected absence
OF the Prince OF Wales from the opening of
the Worlds Fair, says
The cause Of his absence does not spring
from the princes desire Of seeing foreign
countries, it is not from his approaching mar
riage with Danish princess, nor does it arise
from his love passages at Windsor +; but the
reasons for his absence are now sufficiently
manifest The Prince of Wales is already
married; the ingenious eldest son oil her
majesty is at the present moment, and indeed
for the last six months has been, married to a
fair subject. The entlraller OF the princes
heart and recipient of his troth is beautiful
young llibernian lady whom lie met and fell
in love with during the period of military
training at the Curragh of Kildare in Irel md,
where his royal highness had appropriated to
him, little removed from the main line of
tents which formed the encampment, neat
hut with pretty little garden attached to it.
Though he had everything to make him
comfortable there, during the idle days and
long evenings, lie sometimes cantcred off TO
see some of the leading gentry OF Kildare,
whose demesnes fringe the great plain On
which the prince was stationed. To one OF
those houses in particular, and which was in
habited by family of ancient and almost
historic standing, his horses head was often
est turned F.; and his visits became so frequent
that they ceased to be formal
Nothing was suspected by tile princes
mentors, until one afternoon two young ladies
gallOped over the green sward pulling up in
front of the princes hut, and the aacrty with
which he came out to meet them, and his
particular manner to the younger one, attract.
ed the attention ofan officer in high rank who
happened at the moment TO he calling on the
prince, and who, being veteran in love as
well as war, fancied he saw something more
than the mere politeness of a young prince to
a young lady The visits were repeated, and
they were also seen riding about the country
However, to cut a long story short in a
certain little church not many miles from New
bridge 1.-THE next town to the Curragh) there
were one morning, united i'll matrmony two
young people, one of whom was the lady in
question, and the other the heir apparent to
the throne OF Great Britain, the only other
parties present being, besides the clergy
man, a brother officer OF the prince and the
brides brother. The late lamented prince
cOus0rt was made aware of the fact lust before
quitting Ireland, when they visited the lakes
of Killarney in autumn. By the royal mar
riage act, l need scarcely say, such union
would be unlawful, but so wrapped in this
beautiful Irish bride S the prince, that this
journey OF his to the east, which was deter
mined upon before the prince consori's DEATH
was suggested by the latter as a means Of
weaving him from "his foolish attachment"
upon the principle of out of sight out of mind
But nothing will do; the young princes
'heart, untraveled, tondly turns" towards a
certain old mansion on the coutine of the
Curragh, and which holds "what is dearer TO
him than his future crown"-tLe fair object
of his thoughts almost daily receiving a letter
from under her youthful and royal lovers
hand"
