victoria's, Household = The Royal
Family of England.

A London letter, describing the open
ing of market in London, in which GER
emony portion Of the royal family
participated, says
All the members of the royal family
present honored the assembly with their
presence. At the appointed time the
flourish of trumpets and the sharp order
of the Colonel's Attention u indicated
the arrival of the Duchess of Cambridge,
Princess Mary, Prince Teck and other
distinguished persons. Miss Coutts, lead.
ing the way, descended from the platform,
followed by the archbishops, bishops,
deans and noblemen, and proceeded to
the entrance door to receive the guests.
The hold the royal family have on the
British public was seen clearly by
the excitement produced on the coming
of these representatives. Everybody
came to their feet, and there was a
general excitement, which lasted long
after the notables were seated, as they
we're, on the right and left of Miss Coutts,
she holding the seat OF honor. Could her
Majesty have entered the chapel, the ex-
cited audience would almost have brought
the house down. The Duchess of Cam
bridge, cousin of the Queen, who stands
next to the throne, and outranks all the
peers and peeresses of the land, is re-
markably preserved lady Of about seventy,
Tall, finely formed, with face strongly
marked, coarse, and somewhat msscu-
line, yet exceedingly benignsnt, appear
ing in public, as she is really in
private, unaffected, exceedingly courteous
and without hauteur. Princess Mary,
her daughter, is one Of the most regal
looking ladies in England; quite tall,
rather stout, with q face indicating
benevolence and character. She dresses
with great simplicity snd elegance, and
would be marked lady in any circle.
She is greatly beloved for her kindness
of heart and benevolence of life. She is
the most popular princess in the land.
When she was married TO Prince Teek,
she refused TO be married in any of the
royal chapels or palaces. She insisted
upon simple wedding, the direction of
which she took into her own hands She
was married in the little country church
at Kew, where her summer residence is.
She invited all her country neighbors to
be present, and threw her lawns open to
them. She gave special orders that the
crowd might have good view of the
procession in WHICH was the Queen. She
walked from the palace to church,
that all who wished might see her. She
enters heartily into all plans for the BEN
eft Of the poor, the inhrm or the sick,
and lends her name and influence every
where wher it can be used With profit TO
the lowly. Entirely free from afecsa-
ton, she seemed to enter most heartily
into the enjoymeuto of the occasion which
she graced with her presence. Most Of
the noblemen present were old men,
many Of them prematurely old. This is
especially true of the Duke Of Yelling
ton, who inherits his fathers titles and
some Of his looks. he is very gray, his
frame worn and attenuatsd, and he has
the look and stoop Of man Of eighty.

Some few French newspapers, and still
more English and American, have long
been txying to convince the world that
France was not satisfied with Napoleon
III. 1t seems, however, from the recent
elections in that country, that Napoleon
is all.powerful with the people. This is
the fourth time that the Emperor has ap-
pealed to the people for verdict upon
his policy, and each time he has been sus-
tanned by the popular voice His oppo-
nents have been defeated all over the
empire, and Napoleon will be stronger in
the present Corps Legislatif than he ever
was before. Na& 81 ~
Doubtless the opposition will claim
that the power of the Government In
controlling the elections had much to DO
with the result. And this claim no doubt
will be Just Yet it is certain that if
there was as much opposition to Nspo,.
leon in France as some claim, it would
be difficult for him thus to control the
popular elections. The French people
are such an impulsive set of fellows that
they would not be controlled in their
votes if they had very decided set in
any direction. But be things there as
they may, Napoleon is now master OF the
situation and will be likely to have his
own way for some time to come.

From the NEW iOfh WViAu'J
Some of "the people Of Macon OBJ
iected to the color OF the postmaster
furnished them by Grant. Certainly the
reasons given for the appointment OF a
negre to that place are very bad ones. 1t
is said to have been done to punish the
people because of the murder of Union
men, ETC. We do not see that the punisk-
ment is proper or likely to be effective,
nor does it seem just that the appointing
power should be made use of in that way
at all. When postmaster is appointed
with view to punish district, is it
meant that the punishment shall be q
complete failure to deliver their letters TO

intention to administer the Government

morocco with upturned points completed
the costume. Their hair hung in long
braids down their backs, and hundreds
of small gold coins were twisted in it,
and sparkled as well in glitteriDg circlets
over brows, as around necks and arms.
Their eyelds were delicately painted
with kohl so as to make them almond

his place. General Dulce is in i'll health
We are not at all surprised at this, in
view of the scenes by which he has been
of late surrounded. He has seen the
Spanish soldiers dying off with cholera
by the hundred, in want of food and uni
forms, shoeless in many instances and
dscontented ia all. He was unable to
supply the demand Of the commissariat,
coal could not be had for the complete
working of the navy, and the provisional
government had decreed the abolition Of
the slave trade. The Office, thus en-
bsrrassed, impoverished and dangerous,
is scarcely of value to Spaniard of the

MIR. Greeley ON Amnesty for Rebels.
From the Wheeling (Ya) Intelligencer.
Shortly before the last session OF the
Fortisth Congress, it will be remembered,
the Tribune came out in advocacy OF an
amendment proposing Mr.. Greeley s
plan of universal suffrage and univer-
sal amnesty" Being sincerely desirous
Of seeing Congress propose an amend :
ment enfranchising the blacks, and be-
lieying if the measure also included the
rebels il would not pass Congress, or if it
did, would fail of ratification, we wrote
a private note to Mr. Greeley simply for
his information, stating that an amend
ment enfranehising the negroes only
would doubtless be ratified by our Legis-
lature, while, if it also enfranchsed the
rebels, 1t would be sure of rejection. He
replied as follows: rta
