10000 roubles is to be invested in the
Russian Funds, and the interest," TO be
paid 10 the Princess. 3. An annual al
iowance of $4,000 roubles as pin money.
The maintenance of the new Grand
Duchess's household will besides be sup
ported by the Imperial treasury. Should
the Princess become a widow, her join
ture is fixed at $4,000 roubles a year,
with a residence suitable to her rank. and
her Court to be continued at the charge
Of the State. Should, however, she then
quit Russia, the sum would be reduced
by one-haIf. The jointure would like
wise cease in case of a second marriage.
Even in hat e~ventuality the Princess
would maintain possession OF whatever
property she may have acquired personal
ly and independently of her husband, as
we'll as the m~orgengabe and the interest of
the 100000 roubles presented by the
Emperor. Lastly, the Princess can only
dispose by will of the morgengabe in the
event of there existing no children by her
first husband. By a note delivered be-
fore the signing of the contract, and
which is annexed to that document, the
Danish Plenipotentiary engages in the
name of his Sovereign to take the ueees-
sary steps to obtain from the Parliament
of Copenhagen q sum of $4,000 rix-doI-
lars Isl. SOC. each) for the dowry and
trousseau of the Princess. That was
the form adopted on the marriage Of the
Princess Alexandra with the Prince of

, 1866-12-11
TUESDAY, 18th DECEMBER 1866.

WE were not aware, when we made
the remarks in our last number OF
the marriage of Her Royal Highness
Princess Dagmar and His Royal Highness
the Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandra
witch, that His Excellency the Governor
had previously given Instructions Tor
celebrating the auspicious event on Sun
day the 9th instant,-exactIy one month
since the iIlustrious nuptials took place
at st. Petersburg-nothing official having,
we understand, been received here sooner.
The festivities came off on the 9th Nov
ember,-the birthday of the Prince OF
Wales, His Royal Highness having at
tanned his 25th year on that day. The
calamity which the Sister Island is at
present suffering from is, we believe, the
real cause why the honours this glorious
occasion merits did not take place, as
they would have, under other clrcumstan-
ces, been better observed than the simple
demonstrations Of JOY that have been
evinced.
AT the break of day the Royal Flag
was hoisted at Government-HOuse, the
Forts and Batteries. The flags OF the
several Consuls were hOisted also ; and
the vessels in the Harbor, with the eX-
ception Of the Prussian Brig "OScar"),
displayed in IA tasteful manner all their
colours. Aroyal salute of27 guns was fired
at III O'Clock from Fort Christiansv@rn.
At Westend a salute was fired from
Frederiksfort, followed by salutes from
the two u. S. Steamers "Saco' and
!" Florida which vessels are at present
- 4LoE - 0nInta0J - Honc IF all cnIOHrS
were displayed on the august occasion.
Nothing more grand nor brilliant than
the manner in which the Royal Wedding
was celebrated has ever yet taken
place in Russia. The London WeekIy
Despatch in giving an account OF the
marriage, remarks =" In a white dress,
with a train of gold stuff, trimmed with
ermine, and u sparkling diadem on her
head, her Majesty looked worthy to be a
Queen. The Grand Duke, successor to
the throne, is rather stout for his age,
with q good share of will and resolution
stamped upon his youthful face. Llke
a rose growing in the shadow of an oak,
Princess Dagmar stood besides him.
Her lovely features were animated by
excitement, and in her eye shone conf
dent the hope of future happiness. On
her dark locks rested a crown of price
less diamonds, graceful and light as a
wreath or chaplet of flowers. A superb
brooch, if a jewel covering nearly the
whole upper part of the bodice can be
called so, glistened on her breast. Her
robe was Of white MORE antique, and her
train, carried by four chamberlains, of
crimson velvet, trimmed with ermine."
The same paper has the following ar
ticle ia letter from Copenhagen, in
the Moniteur, says :-'The Princess Dag
mar, the bride of the Grand Duke Alex
ander, receives a rich dowry, not from her
father, as is usual in ordinary families,
but from her husband and her father-in-
law, Alexander II. By Art. 8 of the
treaty signed on the 5th October, the
Grand Duke assures to his consort-l. A
sum Of $4,000 silver roubles (4f. each) as
a m~orgengabe or wedding present. 2. A
sum Of 100000 silver roubles given by
the Emperor. The capital of the above

THE CONSTITUTION TINKERs.
BY PETER PEPPERCoRE.


F.Lesn, raw-boned rascals-who would ever sup
ose they had such courage and audacity 1''-Hen
y ~, act /, Scene2.
In eighteen hundred and sixty. six.
At Washington, lot
OF botching tInkers there convened
To mend Union pot,
Which in a scuffie had been cracked
And nearly rent apart.
In Congress hall these tinkers met,
To try their tinkering art.
First, tinkering Sumner tried his hand
And said he thought the crack
Night be repaired by fixing in
A little something black;
Though such thing smelt very strong
Sometimes in summer weather,
No comp osition but black paste
Would keep the pot together.
Then Brudder Kelly rose and said,
ssThere is no time to waste,
Therefore, / now propose TO try
To mend the pot with paste;
Moreover, let US have a law
That EVERY other crack
Throughout the land, matter where,
Be stopped with something black.':
s'With Summers and with Keliy's plans
quite agree" says Thad.;
''Although Yankee squatter,
Much experience have had,
Black things are better far than white,
According to my taste;
So I shall vote to mend the pct
With Charley's Yankee paste.''
Saws Boutwell,, HPrenGs, I would suggest,
Before you do begin ...s.
To mend the pot, to see if there
Are any rivcts in;
For if one with 4 copper head
Within it should be found,
dare affirm that Charley's paste
Will never make il gound.n
The tinkers than to search began,
And soon it was disclosed
Instead of rlysts, the whole pot
Ofcopper was composed.
eye gods J" they ali cried in a breath,
"Our trouble but increases,
Instead of mending, let US break
The worn out thing to pieces.
ssFor if the people should find out
The pot - copper made,
Our occupation will be gone,
And damned will be our trade:
So let smash the darned thing up,
And hide away the metal,
And substitute in place thereof
An Amalgamation Kettie.''
Then Sumner knocked the bottom out,
And Kelly broke the bale;
Soon but th9 relic ofthe pot
Was left to tell the tale;
And that they trampled under foot,
Amidst awful din,
Swearing their kettle should not have
One grain ofcopper In.
The debris then wa. gathered up
And safely hid away;
But for the tinkering job poor men
More taxes have to pay;
And now the botchIng tinkers are
At work with all their might,
Fixing a Union Kettle up
Composed of Black and White.
