statue of Prince Albert, at Coburg, in
wore deep mourning, black dress and |
bonnet, with a'black veil thrown back,
and under her bonnet the cap la |
Mary Stuart. The royal ladies around
her wore colors, and the variety of
their lively costumes presented strik- !
ing contrast to the sable hues in !
which the principal parsonage was at |
tired. The Queen stood up in her
place while anthemsweI sung by the |
chorus, with an accompaniment by
the band. She stood up while the !
Burgermeister of Coburg delivered a |
long address, to which no answer was
vouchsafed. When the speech came
at last to an end, there were more
lofty strains from the band, mere
peals of the bells, more discharges of
artillery, and ut a given signal The |
linen wrappers of the statue collapsed,
and the gilt bronze of the princes
etfigy stood out, with its ceuntenance 4
fixed upon the countenance of the
royal lady, by whose unwearied love
it had hcen reared on its pedestal.
Presently the bevies of damsels, in
green and pink ribands, stepped for
ward, and, one by one, laid before the
pedestal their wfeaths and garlalaaH
There was 4 new anthem by the cHo-
rus, and as its last notes died away,
the Queen Withdrew, ana eli Thought
she had gone back to her carriage,
vi zen she was seen, at the head of alr
her family, walking across the square
| up to the monument, where she hand
ed to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg the
!; bunch Of flowers which had long lain
before her on the balcony of the pa
vilion. These flowers were laid by
the Duke on the pedestal, and along
with them all those-of the princesses
AND princes, till the fragrant mass rose
high up to the feet Of the Statue.
