OF the Prince of wales.

The marriage Of the Prince Of Wales early in
the spring of 1863 will be welcomed by the
nation, not merely as one Of thcse great state
events which cannot be looked upon as unim
portsnt in its influence on country like our own
where the crown and the people have 30 many
ties Of common sympathy, but with personal
interest not often felt respecting similar royal
occurrences. Enough is known Of the qualities
ofthe heir apparent to give him a strong hold
have lived to the age Of manhood without giving
abundant opportunity for forming an estimate
Of bis personal attributes, and the Prince Of
Wales has moved about 30 much, and has been
thrown into communication with 80 many
persons Of all grades and countries, that his
indugng in no country asttery when we say
that the kuowledge thus gained gives US every
reason for favorable snticpatons of q career
that must in the ordinary course, exercise much
influence for good or evil upon the social and
even the political fortunes of the empire, OF
which be is one day destined to be the principle
parsonage. The Prince has shown himselfto all
those acquainted with him as frank, generous,
and manly in all his ideas. His attanments are
more than respectable, and he has seen more Of
the world than most men Of twice his years.
The admirable education he has received has
healthy expanded a mind naturally intelligent
and suapcious of no narrow clique, and every
thing about him would seem to mark him as
a gentleman in q sense far more wholesome and
catholic than that in which the expression
was applied to the last eldest sou of an English
sovereign. The public feels filal interest and
affection for him, and this feeling will most GER
tainly be shown on the occasion which is to
exercise so important an influence on his life.
1t would be idle to deny that when IL was lately
announced that the attainment Of his ajority
was not to be marked with the rejoicing natur-
ally to be looked for on the occasion Of such an
event, and that even the Prince himself was TO
remain abroad in privacy until after the 9th of
November, very general disappointment pre-
vailed but it was everywhere felt that hewas one
whose slightest wish must override all other
considerations In the matter II was at once
recognized that during this year Of mourning to
the royal family the most implicit and tender
respect must be paid to the every wish of the
chef sufferer 10y the calamity of last December
and the deprivation was at once submitted to
and the reason for it readily admitted. With
1868, however, we may expect this privacy to
come to close, and while the country will not
the less regret the loss of the good Prince whose
death every one regarded as a great private ca
lamty, 1t will take pleasure giving to his eldest
con the most palpable evidence of its loyalty and
good wishes on the occasion Of his marriage.
We have reason to believe that the Princess
to whom this event will give go high place
among Englishwomen Is in every way worthy
of her destiny. We have Alright to feel a kind
of a father-in-lawsh interest in her personal ap
pearance and if the sun has not turned courtier
and made photographs Aattcr, we have no right
to be dissatisfied on this score. The branch OF
the Danish royal family to which she more i'm
medately belongs enjoys universal respect in
its own country She will receive the moat
warm welcome in her new country, and all Eng
lsbmen will cordially associate her with the
sincere good wishes by which they will surround
the royal Prince in whom her destiny will be
linked.
