THE Baron Won Pawel- Rammingen
Just married to Princess Frederika of
Hanover, has had a romantic history.
He was for some time a student of the
college at Coburg, which he quilted
early in life for a commission in the
Hanoverian army. On the outbreak of
the rupture between Austria and Prussia
he took part in the battle of Lanpen-
salza, and was taken prisoner with the
King, and accompanied him in his re-
treat to Vienna. His strong attachment
to the fallen dynasty led to his endeav-
0ring to raise Guelphic legion in
France for the recovery of the lost
throne. For this he was impeached for
high treason by the Prussian authorities,
was tried by default in his absence, and
found guilty. This sentence has never
been revoked, and the Baron can not
now enter any portion of the German
dominions without being subject to ar
rest. The family have long been settled
At Coburg; his father is the Minister of
the Duke of SaXe-Coburg- Gotha, and
manages the ducal property.
THE Queen actually remained in Lon
don nearly four days, and returned to
Windsor yesterday T saw her drive
through Hyde Park, from Buckingham
Palace to Paddington Station, through
an immense concourse of people and
carriages. The Queen was in an open ba-
rouche with outriders, John Brown oc-
eupying the dickey. The escort were
Life Guards. She drove from HYDE
Park Corner to Victoria Gate through
double lane Of carriages filed with
fashionable people, and dense crowds
of the lower classes concentrated at diff
ferent points. Gentlemen raised their
hats, ladies bowed, but not single
cheer was given along the whole route.
Abe Queen seemed to be in extremely
good health, Notwithstanding the pro-
traoted fatigues of her stay in London,
having been two hours in attendance in
her own drawing-room.--LoRdon Cor.
