from Cambridge Cottage to the niue IVY
covered porch OF ST. Auuc'S. Both sides
Of this were reserved tor the Pensioners
of Kew, while large raised platform was
erected on the right for those who had
spccial admission 10 view the little pro
ccs>ion. No guests were admitted until
10 O'Clock. but IL avery few minutes after
that hour the little nave and aiAlcS were
toIcrably we'll filled, almost entirely by
ladies. Indeed, the first gentleman visitor
OF distiucti0u-Lord Dcrhy-did not arrive
till after Ii o'clock. Almost III the same
time Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone entered, aud
then the tide Of eminent pcrSona%cS began
to flow III fast. The Duchess d'Aumale,
most eXQusitcly dressed in mauyc silk
and lace, was conducted TO one OF the
seats for royal visitors N the right OF the
altar. The Duchess of Sutherland, the
Duchess Of Marlborough and others, ar
rived in rapid succession. Then Lords
Granville, Clarendon, sydney, BESIDE
rough, and Russell, the Dulc d Aumtlc, &c.
All, both ladies' and gentlemen, were OF
course in morning dress, the prevailing
colors worn 10y the former being :" mark
edlv white and blue Uhc colorS OF the
bridesmaids that there WAS almost Il mo
notonv of tint along the rows GA either sid"
OF the nave. Many Of the peers wore their
stars and ribandS, while several were III
plain walking dress, without decorations
Of any kind. Shortly before II o'clock
the Archbishop Of Canterbury; dccompa-
MED by the Bishop Of Winchester, a
bishop f the diocese, and followed by the
Rev. Il. i. Byam, the vicar of Kew, and
the Rev. Z. ". Mott, the cratc, entered
the church and took their places inside the
little atayrail. Almost immediately after
wards the confused noise Of cheering from
without announced that the Queen had ar
rived. All rose To receive her, and bowed
deeply, as, leaning Oh the arm oi the Duke
of Cambridge, She passed slowly ur tie
church and took her seat in the highest
chair of state, close on the night ot The
altar. Her Majesty looked remarkably
well, but was attlrcd in the very deepest
mourning-lnourniMg 50 deep, indeed, that
not even Il >pccl Of white relieved Its aoln-
brcncsS. With Her Majesty came their
ROYAL lliglncsscS Prince Arthur, Princess
Helena, and Princess Louise.
Both The Processes were dressed in blue
silk, trimmed with white, and wore the
smallest OF small white h"lmct>, with long
gauZc wells. The Queen was attcndcd
hy the Duchess Of Wellington lM>lrc>> Of
the Robc>}, the nowagcr Duchess OF
.itholc, aS Lady in Waiting, who were ais"
in deep mourning. General Sir Thomas
BidduIph, with Lord Charles filZrVy and
the Hon. Colonel de RoS, E4ucrlicS III
Waiting. Until Her Majesty had taken her
seat, ali remained standing, and rs the ri>i-
tors resumed their places, the Prince aud
Princess of Wales, with the Duke OF Ed
iuburg, the Crown Prince Of Denmark,
the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mccklrn-
burg StrclitZ, the Dowagcr Duchess, and
the Countess OF Macclcsiield, in waiting on
the Princess OF Wales, General kuollyS,
and Count Danncskjold came up the nave.
The Prince of Wales wore no orders or
decoration Of any kind, and the Princess,
like the majority OF other ladies present,
was dressed in blue silk trimmed with
white. They took their seats on the lett
of the altar, facing Her Majesty, making
deep reverence to her rs they did 50,
which the Queen in the case Of the
Prince and Princess of Wales a. deeply
returned. Next came his Serene llighncSs
the Prince of Teck, accompanied by the
Austrian ambassador. The bridegroom,
walking slowly up the church, passed to
where Her Majesty was seated, bowed
lowly before her, and took her hand and
kissed il. The position OF the bridegroom
on these occasions, standing almost alone
in front of the altar rail- with all eyes d.
rcctcd toward him, is rather trying, and
one in which few men appear 10 advan-
tagc. To this general rule, however,
Prince Teck was certainly an exception
Yesterday, tor Il more gallant, tlne-iookln2
young man is seldom seen.
At twelve o'clock the bride came in
leaning on the arm Of the Duke Of CAM
bridge, and followed by her bridal suite.
The Princess walked with all the stately
grace which may be almost said TO be pc
culiar TO herself, and her fine, kindly,
genial face shouc with smiles as she ac-
knowlcdged the deep revercnces Of her
personal friends on both sides Of the nave.
She was dressed entirely in. white satin,
trimmed with lace, which was topped up
with bouquets Of orange flowers and myr.
