A chorale was then sung, and the Storm Of
Solemnization Of Natrimony," as prescribed By
the Church Of England, was commended, theee

Dr.. Wellesley, Dean Of Windsor, and Registrar Of
the Order Of the Garter, with the canons and
minor canons of the Chapel. Amid q profound
and impressive silence the Archbishop COM
menced the service, his clear voice penetrating
every portion Of the sacred edi6ce from East to
West with the we'll known words: "Dearly be-
loved, We are gathered together here in the
sight Of God and in the face Of this congrega-
ton to join together this man and this woman
in holy matrimony."
His Graces appeal to the Royal couple, at
this time standing before him, to declare If they
knew Of any impediment Why they might not be
joined together In holy matrimony, then TO De.
clare it, having met no response, followed, and
the Prince Of Wales handed the ring to tho Fri
mate, who handed it back to the Prince, who
placed it on the finger Of his bride, with the
words: with this ring thee wed, with my
body I thee worship, and with oil my worldly
goods thee endow; in the name OF tho rather,
and of the Son, and Of the Holy Ghost Amen:
Then the Primate, in the name Of the same holy
Trinity. declared the Royal couple TO be man
and wife. concluding the ceremony with the
blessing. Her Royal Highness the Princess was
"given away" BY her father, the Prince Chfis>
tan.
A procession was then formed, and the Royal
party left the chapel, the choir singing Beetho-
venS splendid Hallelujah chorus from the
"Nount Of Olives"
The Times describes the position Of her Nsjes-
~ during the ceremony. She stood at the win
dows Of the royal pew, little withdrawn from
general gaze, and only to be seen at Ill BY those
on the opposite side Of the church, glancing
quietly into the interior. The Quesn wore the
SIMPLEST and plainest of widows weeds, . Wild
ow's cap, black silk dress, with white collar
and cuffs, and black gloves. The only color
which appeared on her wore the star Of the Or
der of the Garter and ito blue ribbon, narrowed
to the width her Majesty usually wears across
her left shoulder. She looked we'll in health,
but thinner and older, with permanent traces Of
deep grief and care stamped on every lineament
of her features. Al the Prince and Princess Of
Prussia advanced up the aisle, accompanied BY
their little son, the Queen bowed to her daugh-
ter with . kind and winning smile, the 6rst that
had passed across her face since she entered the
chapel.
Her Msjesty next watched the entrance of her
royal children, as they passed one after another
to their seats beneath, and even when they were
seated she leaned over the front, and remained
"a zing down at them steadily With IN expression
Of fond pride which was unmistskabls, and in
which no trace of grief could be discovered
But a the exquisite music Of the late Prince
Consort's chorale, at once solemn and sorrowful,
commenced, her Majesty drew back from the
window of the pew, and, after an effort to con-
ceal her emotion, gave way to her tears, and al
most sobbed, nor did she throughout the rest Of
the ceremony entirely recover her composure.-
The London Times gives very graphic account
Of the entire proceedings the ceremony, it says,
10 one in which few men appear to advantage,
yet the Prince gained BY passing through it
with the easy grace that seems natural to all his
actions. He stood alone the watched and OBJ
served Of all the observers, neither bsshful nor
con6ding, but with q manly, royal bearing
While waiting for the bride be bore the eager
scrutiny Of all with quiet ease that was charm.

The bride, though not sgitated, appeared
nervous, and the soft delicate bloom Of color
which ordinarily imparts look of Joy and hap
piness to her expressive features had but dis
appeared as, with head bent down, but glsncing
her eye occasionally from side to side che moved
slowly up toward the altar. The Prince repeat
ed the service clearly, word for word after the
Primste, but when it was the turn of the young
bride, she could be heard only to answer almost
inaudibly, and her cheeks we're suffused with .
crimson blush, and she seemed very nervous A

THE JoUUHIY
1t was soon understood that the process of
leave-takipg would occupy until at least 4
o'clock, and it was not until few minutes past
that hour that the Princess Royal Of Prussia and
her husband arrived to take their last leave Of
the happy couple. They were received BY .
guard Of honor Of the Coldstreams, and, after
short delay, the Prince and Princess of Wales
followed in open carriage drawn by four white
horses, and preceded BY outriders similarly
mounted. Their appearance was the signal for,
perhaps, the loudest burst Of cheering which
bad been heard throughout the day; and when
the saloon carriage Of the South Western Rail-
way moved very slowly through the station, and
the Prince and Princess appeared At the window
the enthusiasm became almost frantic. In
moment more the train had disappeared, and the
royal pair we're on their way for Osborn.
