FRIDAY MORNING, MA ICH 13. Pennsylvania. Last night’s mail brought us io later intelli gence direct from Harrisburg. A e are however induced to believe from the spin of the intelli gence received indirectly, that a I iter feeling is likely to prevail in the Legislati -e towards the Banks of the State than we feared omedays ago, Ihe anti-bank men had expresses a willintrness to sTibmit to the views ot the Aan uren Convert- | ticn,which is said, by thosefamilia with the sen- j timents ot the delegates,to he deck _>dly conserva- j tive. W e hope they may be corre t- It so, con fidence will be restored to every cl; ss ofbuUness, and the public mind will be rel. ved from that painful anxiety under which it hat been laboring for some time past. The Race Which came off yesterday over he Lafayette Course between Gano and Om iga, four mile heats, is said to have been perfor ud in better time than any two heats ever n ide over this course, which is thirty three feet c f er a mile.— The purse was taken by Gano, v io performed the first heat in 7m. 485., and the *cond in 7m. 49 £s., with great ease, without icing touched with whip or spur. • Destructive Fire at Net ark. The New York Commercial Ad' >rtiscr of Sat urday says :—We are informed th; , there was a very large lire at Newark, N. J. la t evening, in Mechanic street, near Market strt t, by which from fifteen to twenty houses were t istroved. A part of the property, we are informe , was owned in this city. , From Harrisburg. A letter from Harrisburg, says ic Philadel phia Inquirer, informs us, that th Van Buren State Convention rejected both set of Delegates from Philadelphia, by a vote of 74 o 43. The Van Buren members of the Legisk ure from the city and county, were then substitu 3d by a vote of 97 to *23. Mr. Van Buren was unanimously nominated to the Presidency, ant the vote for the Vice Presidency stood thus : R. M. Johnson, 107 W. R. King, 22 Manhattan Bunk. —The New ork Express of Friday, 2 P. M. says— The Manhattan Bank Committe begin at the right end by counting the specie, t s bundles of bank notes and other assets. Ii the kegs of specie there has been found a detlc ncy of some thousand dollars, which with the rash ‘’bort in the hands of the first teller, is fouill to be sixty one thousand dollars, and which haabeen chang ed over by order of the Directors tS the loss ac count. Thus we find one large litem before coming to any losses, on stocks holig on individ ual paper. i The falling off in the revenue ofßour Custom House, for the last five months, are Sitonishingly great. The amount received in anuary and February, 1839, was about one lillion each month. This year, from correspon ing months, it is about one quarter, or two hum ed and fifty thousand dollars each month. In ecd, the de bentures on goods exported have >een mostly equal to the receipts, leaving the government almost minus. Since March came i, there has been more imports. The packets rom Liver pool and Havre have brought fair ca joes. The Boundary Troubles.— 'he Bangor papers say that the statements madi by Govern or FairlieiJ, and denied by the Brit ;h Minister, in relation to British woiks and occi mney in tlie disputed territory, a e {rue to the tier. Two young men. who were sent by Gove lor Fairfield to Lake Temiscouta, to ascertain wh t operations the British were carrying on in tha quarter, re present that there are nearly or quite vo hundred British officers and soldiers at the Li to, and that the works erected there are much me e extensive than hitherto reported to be. For the Chronicle *5- Sentin !. Mn. Editor.—Permit me, throu i your col umns, to remind the community of he popular course of Lectures on some subject in Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, which i announced by Profess .. Davis, of our Medical College, to commence on Monday evening of icxt week. The established end well earned i mutation of Dr. Davis, furnishes the best pledg of a rich entertainment to those who shall attt d the pro posed cou -e. But it is for the purpos of appeal ing to a motive somewhat less selfish that I ask space tor these few remarks. I cam t but sup pose that every intelligent member of Jr commu. nity feels, if not a pride, at least, a t ep interest in our Medical < ’ollcge ;; and under his persua sion, I would respectfully suggest, th t they are now furnished with an appropriate pportunity of testifying the sincerity of that s< tiraent, by extending their countenance and the! patronage, on the present occasion, to a member 'its Facul- ty, and one, in whom the institution so justly prides herself. It was at the special solicitation of the Board of Trustees, that these Lectures were originally undertaken by Dr. Davis, and are now continued. r Elie Trustees were therein influenced by a desire that not only the Medical students in their at tendance on the regular course, but our commu nity, in these more brief and popular lectures, might derive valuable instruction and rational en tertainment from the exhibition of the ample and costly Chemical Apparatus of the College, by so accomplished a teacher as Professor Davis. I would commend the present opportunity to the young of both sexes, who are about finishing their education, and to all of every class in the community, who have any taste for these beauti ful and useful studies. One of the Tiiusit.es of the College. Forty-Four Days Later from Europe. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. The steamship Great Western which left Bris tol on the 20til February, arrived at New York i J on the 7th, bringing Loudon and Liverpool dates to the 20th, and Havre of the 17th. From the Now York Herald, Extra, and the Star of Satur day afternoon, we copy the following summary ofintelligence by this very late arrival. Money matters are slowly reviving—interest is reduced to 5 per cent—circulation is increased. Tlie Queen of England was married to Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg on the 10th February. The sal es of cotton in Liverpool, on the 19th I Feb., amounted to 2,500 bags, chiefly American. In Manchester, 14th Feb. prices of cotton weic as low as they were six months ago. The rate of interest is reduced to five per cent. The Newport Chartists. —Frost, Williams and Jones have been found guilty and sentenced to transportation or labor at the hulks, at the Queen’s pleasure. They reached the hulks at Portsmouth Feb. 15th. The packet ship Stephen Whitney has arrived at Liverpool. The packet suip Ilav.e was burnt off the coast of Cork, Feb. 10th; she had 1564 bales of cotton on board. Twenty souls were saved; the rest lost. She was from New Orleans. The Du keol Wellington has had two or three I alarming fits of illness; so much so as to be con ° • 7 sidered bulletins are issued from Apsley House. The steamship Liverpool arrived out safely Jan. 10th. Parliament met Jan. 10th, and was still sit ting on the 19th February. The packet ship New York left Liverpool Jan. Bth, and put back into Cork from stress of weath er. The packet ship Sheridan arrived out on Feb. 12th, a passage of 18 days. The latest dates from China, in Liverpool, on I the 19th of February, were up to Nov. 21st, from Singapore. Prince Albert was appointed a Field Marshal of the British Army. His commission was dated Feb. 8, 1840. Mr. Raffles’ celebrated chapel at Liverpool, has been burnt down. The Britannia, the first of the Royal Mail Steam Ships from England to North America, was launched Feb, 6th. The circulation of the bank for the quarter ending on the 4th February, nad increased £l4O, 000—the bullion had increased £510,000. China. —The fighting between the English and Chinese continues. The Canton Press of Dec. 2, reports that accounts have been received from the west coast of an affair between opium smugglers and the Mandarin boats, i., which one of the latter was sunk, and seven of the survivors sent back with their tails cut off? India. —The fighting here between the Bri tish and native waxes hotter and hotter. The British stormed Khclat Nov. 13th, took it, killed Mehrab Khan, the chief, all of whose principal Sirdars were killed or taken, and hunrdeds of other prisoners. Anticipated Changes. —Lord Melbourne re tires from office with Lord Lansdowne. Lord J. Russell is to be first lord of the treasury, and Lord Durham joins the cabinet, with Mr. Ward and Mr. C. Duller in office. Parliament will be dissolved, and the repeal of the corn laws and ballot will bo made cabinet questions. On the last Mo iday in January,?the Ministry were defeated on the question of the allowance to Prince Albert. Lord John Russell moved that the allowance be £50,000 per annum, to which Col. Sipthorp moved as an amendment, to make 1 it £30,000. The amendment was carried by 104. Strength of Ministers. —On certain divisions in parliament the ministerial majority after the Queen’s marriage had increased considerably. U. S. Bank shares were sold at £lB to £lB 10. equal io 70 per cent. American Currency. The negotiations pending between France and Holland are also, according to the Dchats , draw ing to a close. Holland bas demanded that her vessels be treated in French harbors on the same footing of reciprocity as the English and Amer ican shipping are, and France has acquiesced in that demand on condition that Holland open her markets to various prvductions of the French soil and industry, excluded therefrom at the time when Belgium formed part of that kingdom. Holland, it appears has likewise consented to open to France the navigation of the Rhine and Moselle; “ Strasburg,” Metz and Shierck are to be assimilated for the importation of foreign pro ducts. to maritime harbors.” The British Ambassador, Lord Palmerston, at Constantinople, has refused his assent to the proposition of Russia, to send 50,000 of her troops into Asia Minor across the Taurus. Af fairs look warlike between Russia and the other powers. At Tois in France, 40 lives were lost in a con flict between the troops and the country people, growing out of the high price of corn. Mehemet Alv is fortifying Alexandria. There were 900 of the Chinese killed by the British ships of war that fired on the Junks. Captain Elliot returned to Macao after the ac-* tion; the Chinese were fortifying Hong Key Bay. Great Britai n intends to send a land, as well as a naval force against the Chinese. Spain. —Tire Cortez, it was believed, would meet Feb. 18. Madrid was quiet. In the Ga zette v. a find the report of an engagement which took place on the 28th ult in Catalonia, between Carhos division and 3000 men under Brujo. i he latter, driven from their position, left. 43 kil ii on the field, ihe Christines had only six killed and about 30 wounded. Cabrera is not dead but recovering The Arabs had not a ipeared in the plain ot Algiers since December 31. i here were 59,000 French troops in the neigh borhood of A Igiers preparing for the expedition against Abdel Kader. The Queen held a court at Buckingham Pal ace Feb. 18th. and .received the addresses of both Houses of Parliament to Victoria and Albert, to which they both briefly replied, and promises to fulfil the favorable hopes expressed from their union. i he Alexandria letters of 17th ult. descrilie the great preparations for hostilities on the part ot Mehemet Ali, and his determination not to give way in the dispute with the Porte The Board of trade has decided that teas taken from China in foreign ships and put aboard Brit ish any where will he considered as having been imported in British bottoms. Whitehall, February 6.—The Queen has been pleased to declare and ordain, that his Se rene Highness Franc’s Albert Augustus Charles Emanuel, Dukeol Saxe, Prince of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Knight of the Most Noble Order of tlie Garter, shall henceforth, upon all occasions whatsover, be styled and called ‘ His Royal High ness,” before his name and such titles as now do, or hereafter may, belong to him. And to command, that the royal concession j and declaration be registered in her Majesty’s College of Arms. London Money/ Market, February/ 18—Two o’clock.—The price of Three per cent. Consols has not varied to any extent since our first report. Spanish Active Stock is at 27. Liverpool, February 17. Tea. —ln the early part of the week small sales were effected, and these were at a decline of 3d to 4d per lb on previous rates. Yesterday news having been received from China that an engage ment had taken place between two of her majes ty s vessels stationed'there, and the Chinese war junks, a reaction had again occurred, and prices have advanced from 3d to 9J on all common and good Congous and Twankeys; the market closed firm, with more buyers than sellers. W c hear in \\ all street, that as Mr. Newcomb was leaving the Manhattan Bank on Monday, at 3 o’clock, he quietly insinuated his hand into the drawer of the second Teller, and helped himself to about §9000; with which in his pocket, he proceeded to Delmonico’s, and endeavored to kill time pieviously to answering the summons cf the Commissioners, hy playing three games of dominoes with all the serenity of conscious inno cence. Having thus composed himself, he re turned to tlie bank, and finding his late scaled, made the best of his way to the afternoon train of the Philadelphia cars, and proceeded as far as Brunswick, when all trace of him was lost.— New York American. Cotton Trade.— The condition in which the trade in this staple is at the present time, is thus referred to in the New York Express:— I he Cotton business has entirely changed this ; year. Last year a large portion of it was in the | hands of speculators, who in many instances, I with small means, were able hy advances, to con trol avast amount. The season turned disas trous, and swept this class away. The facilities that was 'afforded by the Southern Banks indu ced large shipments, which in most cases turned out ruinous. The consequence is, that the sta ple is now left to its own intrinsic value; shippers buy and export as appears most for their interest; manufacturers purchase to meet the demands »nd the business is thus perfectly regular. The ar ticle has fallen to a very low point; quite as low as we have ever known it—and quite as low, when the value of the currency is considered, as it ever has been at the South. Flour Trade. —Our Report of the Markets, in another column shows that the Flour inspec tions oi the present week are upwards of twenty seven thousand barrels, of which about twenty one thousand were Howard street Flour. This is, we believe, the largest weekly inspection ever made in Baltimore. One of the Inspectors performed a great day’s work in the course of the week, having inspect ed between sun rise and sun set no less than 2700 barrels of Flour. The brig Neptune loading at this port with Tobacco for Germany, has also on board a small shipment of Flour. Last year, it will he recol lected, considerable quantities of Flour were sent from Germany to the United States.— Baltimore American. A late letter from the Paris correspondent of the National Intelhgencerhas the following items: At the slated meeting last week of the Acade my of Medicine,.Dr. Chervin resumed the read | ing of his comprehensive memoir on the origin and nature of the Yellow Fever, which is men tioned in the official report as replete with inter esting facts and sagacious reasonings. No man alive has so widely pursued and so minutely stu died the pestilence as the Doctor, whose indefa tigable labors in the United States cannot be for gotten. lam glad to learn that .ic intends to em igrate te New Orleans, in order to practise his proiession on that theatre. His general science and skill, special acquirements, predilection for the American People and their institutions, excel lent spirit and temper, will assure his success in every respect. The recent ravages of the yellow fever in our South, and its invasion of Texas, im part an additional importance to his designs. Here, our climate in general has been nearly as much discredited by the reappearance and diflu sion of that scourge, as our credit by the suspen sion of specie payments. At the same sitting of the Academy came un der consideration the premium of three thousand francs, which a member, Burdin, had offered in 1837, with reference to Animal Magnetism, to the person who, in the opinion of the Academy, should succeed in reading, without the aid oflhe eyts, in books provided by a committee; any light to be allowed, «fcc. Several candidates for | the premium were presented, but all failed in | their repeated attempts, and among them the fa mous damsel Pigeuire, about whose wonderful performances of sight when somnambulized so much has been published in journals and pamph lets. Dr. Burdin stated that, as in two years the magnefizers could not win the prize by what they represented as one of their most common and simple achievements, he would give it to any person, magnetized or not magnetized, asleep or awake, who should, in the opinion of the Acade my, accomplish the task of readingwith the eyes open, and in broad daylight, through an obaque body, such as a tissue of thread, silk or cotton, placed at a distance of six inches from the flee, or even through a sheet of paper. At the late annual sitting of the Academy of Medicine, Dr. Pariset delivered the appointed ‘•historical eulogium” of Laennec, the celebrated author of the Lrea/ise of Auscultation. All the irnportanco ol ibis process for the affections of the chest, and even others, has been known and ex- | pcrienced in our country since the appearance in ! 1819 of his two volumes upon his discovery. Pa- j liset observes : “ i here was, at first, some oppo- ; sition; but the method has been universally adop- ! ted. It soon traversed the ocean, and physicians ' came from the United States to learn auseufla- ' tion under the direction of the master. His book 1 was translated info many languages and passed I many editions." Bouillaud. an eloquent proses- i sor ot the Faculty, has greatly enlarged and per- ! fectcd the application of Laennec’s conceptions i and process.—lt may he noted, that the discover- I er was carried off in 1826, by pulmonary con- j “sumption—the malady to'which his researches! and new practice were so successfully and pecu- j liarly directed. The principal parts of Pari set’s I eulogy are now extant in the Gazette Medicate. j Axtiq.uities of South America.—lntelli gence has been received from Mr, Stephens and Mr. Catherwood who have arrived safely at Gua temala,anu finding no possibility of transacting of ficial business, have proceeded toexplore the ruins ot Palenque—one ot the greatest objects of curiosi ty in Central America. Both travellers are familiar with Egyptian antiquities,and consequently,in ex am niiig the temples, heiroglyphics, pyramids via ducts, and military roads, which are every where encountered in that interesting country, will oe able to decide promptly what agency the Phcni cians had—those builders of Babylon, Tyre and Carthage—in the erection of those vast edifices scattered abunantly throughout South America. Both travellers are inured to fatigue, and have given evidences of patient historical research hold out great promise of successful labor. Catherwood will probably be the only artist of eminence who lias visited that country, and we may have a panoramic view of the run** of that extraordinary city. European travellers have become tired ot Egypt, Thebes, and Memphis, and are directing their attention to Peru, Mexico, ami Central America. Publishers arc also fitting out travellers for journies in those countries, and we are happy that circumstances have given to Mr. Stephens and Catherwood the advantages of an early and close research of those antiquities. I he late Mr. Dewett must have exaimined and written much on that subject during his residence in Guatemala. He was an industrious, inquiring and ready writer; and if his executors have any manuscripts of his which may not be prepared for publication, we would he happy to see them or hear ot them. In a few years, and when po litical affairs arc more tranquil, the governments of Europe will send expeditions to those coun tries.—New York Star Sweet Sensibility.— AH the quack doctors —we beg their pardon—the patent medicine ben efactors of their species—who guarantee cures for every evil that flesh is heir to. say that coun terfeits ot an article are proofs of the excellence of the genuine thing. Estimated by this rale, genuine “ sensibility” must be one of the seven cardinal virtues, and the chiefest among the se ven ; for there is more mock sensibility in the world, than mock modesty, and that is saying a great deal. It is exceedingly pretty to “ Die of a rose in aromatic pain”— To shriek at the agonies of a disemhowlcd spider, and go into tears at the thought that pigs and poultry must he killed before they are eaten. W c certainly should he the last to cavil at true mercy. But these sympathy-mongers, because “ Phe quality ot mercy is not strained”— would fain filter it all through the threads of a linen handkerchief. It there were any sincerity in these professions; and real care for the hap piness ot others, one might put up with their little tender weakness and affections. The truth is, that the} 7 arc made up of inordinate selfish ness and heartless cruelty. Their sorrows and sympathies are all wasted on air, and they have none left for service or use. A young lady who shall oh dear! through every line of a trifling narrative of mock sorrow, would not give up an article of superfluous or nament to save a family from starving. A young gentleman who belongs to this exceedingly sen sitive class, sheds tears over the fate of the In dians, and ail other miseries, in relief ot which he cannot possibly he called upon, but when any thing practical presents itself, he is not at home. Prominent and active talking members of all so cieties for speculative philanthropy are these very tender hearted people—but their acute sensibility keeps them always at a distance from any scene of the real giief, which might shatter their deli cate nerves. In a word, their benevolence is all speculative—not active—all show—no service— all talk, no performance. It is a "matter of congratulation to the world, that theie are so many people left in it who have no sensibility. Such haul hearted animals are very useful when a house is on fire, as they make no bones of plunging into it. for the res cue of life and property, while •* sweet sensibili ty” is faint and prostrate, Heartlessness goes directly into the hovel of the destitute—sets the children to work, gives relief to the parents, and advice to all; while sweet sensibility is holding his nose at the door, and talking about repre senting the case to our society. In short, bluff, blunt, hearty usefulness does the labor of this working day world, while the finer feelings are kept in lavender, to be sported like a fifty dollar handkerchief upon the pave in public. Useful ness is the democracy, “ sentiment” the aristo cracy—one is the “ bone and muscle ” the other the “ fancy work.”— Dispatch and Taller. Dramatic Effect. —ln a drama recently pre sented in the Theatre at Berlin, the head of a victim of the tyrant of the piece was to be pre sented him in a dish, on a table, and covered with a napkin. All the preparations were most inge niously made for this awful spectacle. The head was to be a real one, and the actor who was to perform the part of the decapitated person had to thrust his head through an aperture in the back scene, and lay it in the dish, painted so as to make a ghastly appearance. This was done; the tyrant had raised the napkin, and the audience were all becomingly horrified, when the dead man’s head replied to the tirade which his mur der was in the act of delivering, by a violent fit of sneezing, which al once turned the scene into a ludicrous farce, and the house rang with laugh ter. Some wag who had admission behind the scenes bad sprinkled the blood-stained dish with a quantity of snuff. A Happy Expression. — The following is a copy of a resolution offered in the legislature of a Western state : Resolved. That this general assembly will ad journ sine die when they get ready, and not be fore —any thing in Bill Turner’s resolution to the contrary notwithstanding. From the Knickerbocker. Life’s Journey, SY ROBERT M. CHARLTON. X. Oh, blessings on thee, Caroline ! May kind affection’s ray For ever on thy prospects shine, For ever o’er thy way ! ! Not only in thy girlhood’s hoar. And in thy beauty’s prime. But when the gloomy shadows lower Os Age’s evening time. ”• This world is not, ah, Caroline ! The Eden it appears ; Though brightly all its pleasures shine, ’Tis but a vale of tears : For listen to my history, The travel of a day, It will unfold the mystery Os Life’s uncertain way. HI. Wc rise up in the glorious light Os Spring’s enchanting dawn ; The sun is shining dear and bright. The dew is on the lawn ; V\ c see no cloud, we hear no storm, We think not of decay ; And with affections pure and warm. We hasten on our way. iv. And step by step the prospect grows More beauteous to our sight And hoar by hour the sunshine glows, More glorious and more brigh ; And though a few companions ear Have wander’d from our side, We shed for them no passing tear, As onward still we glide. v But suddenly another land Hath burst upon our sight; The breeze that fans us is more bland, The sunshine is more bright; We miss the friends that with us press’d Across that dewy plain, For some have laid them down to rest. And others cold remain. vi. But other travellers join our band, And newer hopes are ours ; And still we travel in a land Os sunshine and of flowers ; Hope and Ambition are before. But Youth and Love behind ; And ah ! the freshness as of yore, We look in vain to find ! VII. But yet our steps are firm and free. Our spirits do not droop ; And tilled with happiness and glee. Still onward moves our troop; And still th’ horizon dim of Fame Recedes as we advance ; Nor yet is won the deathless name. By genius or by lance. VIII. And now the orb that o’er us shone. Hath sunk down in tlie West, And cold, and cheerless, and alone, We lie down to oar rest: No more we see Hope’s cheering light, Nor feel the zephyr’s breath, But onward comes the shades of Night, The midnight shades of Death ! ix. Thrice happy he, oh, Caroline ! Who e’er he thus lies down. Hath won a heiitance divine, An everlasting crown And happier still the forms that die, E’er childhood’s hour is o’er; But ah ! the tear is in my eye, And I can write no more ! x. But blessings on thee, Caroline ! And may affection’s ray For ever o’er thy prospects shine. For ever o’er thy way, Not only in thy girlhood’s hour, And in thy beauty’s prime, But when the gloom}’ shadows lower Os Age’s ev’ning time ! Savannah, Georgia. The Queen’s Jiarriage. The ceremony of the Queen’s marriage took place on the 10th February, at the Chapel Roy al. St James.’ The ofliccrs of the household and the attendants of her Majesty began to ar rive at Buckingham Palace about half past ten o’clock. The Earl of Uxbridge, the Earl of Bel fast, the Earl of Surrey, the Earl of Albemarle, Colonel Cavendish, Lord Alfred Paget, Sir George Anson, the Lords in Waiting, Ladies in Waiting, Maids of Honour, Bedchamber Wo men, Gentlemen Ushers, &c. ail assembled at 11 o’clock.—The Ladies of her Majesty’s suite were summoned by the Master of the Horse, and hand ed into four of the Royal carriages by Col. Ca vendish (Clerk Marshal) and Alfred Paget, and despatched to St. James’s Palace. At has past 11 the six gentlemen composing the foreign suites of Prince Albert and the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha mustered in the Grand Hall. At a quar ter to 12 the Royal carriages having returned, no tice was given to the Royal bridegroom that all was in readiness for his departure. The Prince immediately quitted the private apartments of the palace, and passed through the state rooms in the uniform of a British Field Marshal, and wore no other decoration than the insigma of the Order of the Garter The Prince was supported i by his father and his brother the hereditary Prince. His Serene Highness wore the collar of the Or der of the Garter, and the star, and the star of the Order of Coburg Gotha. Prince Ernest wore the insignia of a Grand Cross of an~Or der of Knighthood. Prince Albert was prece ded by the Lord Chamberlain, the Vice-l ffiamber lain, the Treasurer and Collector of the House hold, Lord Torrington, the Clerk Marshal Equer ries, Gentlemen Ushers, &c. the remaining por tion of the foreign suite bringing up the rear.— The Prince entered the carriage amid the sound of trumpets, the lowering of colouis, the pre senting of arms, and all the honour paid to the Queen herself. His Royal Highness, with his father and brother, occupied one carriage, and the attendants two others. A squadron of Life 1 Guards escorted the Prince to St. James’s Palace. On the reiurn of the Lord Chamberlain six of the Royal carriages were assembled, and his Lordship informed her Majesty that all was ready. The Queen then left her apartments, leaning on the arm of the Earl of Uxbridge as Lord Cham berlain, supported hy the Dutchess of Kent, and followed hy a Page of Honour. Her Majesty was preceded by the Ear! of Belfast, the Earl of | Surrey, Lord Torrington, hie Earl of Albemarle j Col. Cavendish, Sir Geotge Anson, Lord Alfred j Paget, Mr. Byng, and several other officers of the I household. Her Majesty carried her train over ; her arm. Ihe Royal bride was greeted with loud acclamtions on descending to the Grand Hall, but her eye was bent principally on the ground, and a hurried glance around, and a slight inclination of the head, was all the acknowledgment return ed.—Her Majesty wore no diamonds on her head nothing but a simple wreath of orange blossoms. The magnificent veil did not cover her face, but hung down on each shoulder. A pair of very large diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, and the insignia of the Order of the Garter, were the principal ornaments worn by the Queen. The Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Suth erland rode in the same carriage with her Majes ty, and the Royal cortege left the Palace at a slow pace under an escort of cavalry.—Her Majesty was enthusiastically cheered as she pro ceeded to St. James’s in the following order:— hirst Carnage.- Two Gentlemen Ushers— Exon of the Yeomen of the Guard—Groom of the Robes. Second Carriage: Equerry in Waiting, Hon. C . Grey—Two Pages of Honor—Groom in V\ aiting, Hon. Major Keppel. Third Carnage: ( lerk Marshal, Hon. H. F. Cavendish—\ ice Chamberlain, Earl of Belfast— Keeper of the Privy Purse, Sir H. Wheatley— Controller of the Household, Right Hon.' G. Stevens Byng. Fourth Carriage: Bedchamber Woman in Waiting—Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, Earl ol Ilchester—Master of the Buckhounds, Lord Kinnaird—Treasurer of the Household, Earl of Surrey. Fifth Carriage: Maid of Honor in Waiting —Duchess of Kent’s Lady in Waiting, Lady Charlotte Dundas—Gold Stick, Lord Hill—Lord in Waiting, Viscount Torrington. Sixth Carriage: Lady of the Bedchamber in M aiting—Master of the Horse, Earl of Albe marle—Lord Steward, Earl of Erroll—Lord Chamberlain. Earl of Uxbridge. Seventh Carriage.- The Queen —The Duch ess of Kent—Mistress of the Robes, Duchess of Southerland. Her Majesty reached St, James at 10 minutes past 12 o’clock, and entered her closet, where she awaited the summons to the chapel. The pre sence-chamber, Queen Anne’s drawing room, ar mory room, and the grand stair case to the col annade, were filled with spectators, for whom ac commodations had been provided. The colon nade through which the procession passed to the chapel was excellently arranged. The seats, which were separated from the pillared colonnade by a dwarf railing, were covered with crimson cushions with gold-col >red borders and fringe.— All the remainder of this temporary structure had the semblance of having been constructed of solid masonry. The Iloor of the colonade was covered with rich Brussels carpet, which extend ed into the vestibule, up the grand staircase to the armory, through the presence-chamber to Queen Anne’s drawing-room, and thence to the ante-chamber and throne-roorn, where her Majes ty and Prince Albert’s portions of the procession were marshalled. The seats erected for the ac commodation of the spectators were covered with crimson cushions and yellow»fringe, thus sustain ing uniformity throughout. They were railed off from the line of procession. The principal en trances to the Chapel Royal, were from the am bassador’s court, and the color quadrangle oppo*- site St. James street. At the eastern end is the communion table, and at the lower end, abutting over the main entrance, is the Roval gallery or closet.
