On arriving at the entrance of the Chapel the drums and trumpets filed off: the Gentlemen-at-Arms remained in the Ante-Chapel during the ceremony, and the Yeomen of the Guard at the foot of the staircase in the Ante-Chapel. Her Majesty's Gentlemen Ushers conducted the respective persons composing the Procession to the places provided for them; the Princes and Princesses of the Blood Royal to the seats prepared for them on the haut-pas; and the several ladies attendant upon the Queen to the seats pro. vided near her Majesty.

Her Majesty, on reaching the haut-pas, took her seat in the chair of state provided for the occasion on the right of the altar, attended by the Ladies bearing her Majesty's train.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager was present during the Solemnity, on the left of the altar, attended by the Countess of Mayo and Lady Clinton, Ladies in Waiting; Earl Howe, G. C. H. Lord Chamberlain the Earl of Denbigh, G. C.H. Master of the Horse; the Hon. William Ashley, Vice-Chamberlain and Treasurer; Col. Sir Horace Seymour, K. C. H. Equerry; and J. G. C. Desbrowe and J. G. T. Sinclair, esqs. Pages of Honour.

The Service was then commenced by the Archbishop of Canterbury, having on his right the Archbishop of York, and on his left the Bishop of London, who assisted as Dean of the Chapel Royal. The Duke of Sussex gave away his Royal Niece: and at that part of the Service, where the Archbishop of Canterbury read the words, "I pronounce that they be man and wife together," the Park and Tower guns fired. At the conclusion of the service, the procession returned, that of the Bridegroom preceding as before, excepting that Prince Albert conducted Her Majesty from the Chapel Royal to the Throne-room, where the registry of the Marriage was attested with the usual formalities. Her Majesty and the Prince proceeded the same afternoon to Windsor Castle. A banquet, at which the Earl of Erroll presided as Lord Steward of the Household, was given at St. James's Palace; and honoured by the presence of the Duchess of Kent, the Reigning Duke and Hereditary Prince of Saxe Cobourg; and by all the members of her Majesty's Household. In all, about 130 persons were present. Most of the Cabinet Ministers gave dinners at their own houses; and there was a grand dinner at the Carlton Club, at which Sir Robert Peel took the chair, with the Duke of Wellington at his right hand. In the evening the Duchess

of Sutherland, Mistress of the Robes, gave a Ball at Stafford House.

The day was universally kept as a holiday throughout the country, and in the evening there were very splendid illuminations in the metropolis and in all the principal towns.

The neat and elegant church of St. Peter's, Dale End, Birmingham, is built in the Grecian style of architecture, with a regular front in the order of the Parthenon. After being partly destroyed by fire it was not long ago restored, under the superintendence of the present incumbent, the Rev. C. Craven, and a building committee; and it has been just embellished by the erection of a splendid window of stained glass. It consists of three compartments, of which the central one is considerably the largest, representing the Ascension of our Saviour, after a design by Raphael, and a picture by Oliver, who is well known to have embodied with spirit and effect many of the outlines of that great master. The outer compartments contain ornamental designs corresponding together, with a sacramental cup in the centre of one, and the Holy Dove in the other. Each compartment has a rich Grecian border, assimilating with the other ornaments of the church. The window is executed in a masterly style; and the depth and richness of colouring, particularly in the drapery, are most striking. The artists are Messrs. Pemberton of New Hall Hill, Birmingham. A short time since a splendid and elegant organ, built by Messrs. Bewsher and Fleetwood, of Liverpool, was erected in this church. These ornaments, combined with its beautifully decorated roof, render this church one of the handsomest modern churches in the country.

H. R. H. THE LANDGRAVINE OF
HESSE HOMBURG.

Jan. 10. At Frankfort, in her 70th year, Her Royal Highness Elizabeth, Princess of England, Dowager Landgravine of Hesse Homburg.

The Princess Elizabeth was born at Buckingham House on the 22nd May 1770, the seventh child and third daughter of King George the Third and Queen Charlotte.

Her Royal Highness, when living in England unmarried, was always distinguished for the propriety of her conduct, the amiability of her manners, and her elegant accomplishments. She was much attached to the arts of design; and several of the productions of her pencil were published, accompanied by the poetical effusions of the minor bards of the day, under the following titles :

The Birth and Triumph of Cupid; a Poem, by Sir James Bland Burges. 4to. 1796.

Cupid turned Volunteer; with poetical illustrations, by Thomas Park, F.S. A. 4to. 1804.

The Power and Progress of Genius, in a series of Twenty-one Etchings, fol. 1806.

Six Poems illustrative of Engravings by H. R. H. the Princess Elizabeth, 4to. 1813.

After the peace of Europe had settled the affairs of the several continental sovereigns, and the death of the Princess Charlotte of Wales instigated the younger children of King George the Third to provide for the succession by forming additional matrimonial alliances, the Princess Elizabeth was induced to accept a husband in the person of his Serene Highness Frederick-Joseph-Louis, the Hereditary Prince of Hesse Homburg. The marriage took place at the Queen's palace, Buckingham-house, on the 7th April 1818. As any matters connected with Royal marriages have recently possessed a more than usual interest, we are tempted here to subjoin a description of the Princess Elizabeth's Marriage, written by Mr. Rush, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America to the Court of Great Britain, who was present at the ceremony :

"We got to the palace at seven o'clock. Pages were on the stairs to conduct us to the rooms. The ceremony took place in the Throne-room. Before

the throne was an altar covered with crimson velvet: a profusion of golden plate was upon it; there was a salver of great size on which was represented the Lord's Supper. The company being assembled, the Bridegroom entered, with his attendants. Then came the Queen, with the Bride and royal family. All approached the altar. Her Majesty sat; the rest stood. The marriage service was read by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Duke of York gave the bride away. The whole was according to the forms of the Church, and performed with great solemnity. A record of the marriage was made. When all was finished, the Bride knelt before the Queen to receive her blessing.

"Soon after the service was performed, the Bride and Bridegroom set off for Windsor. The company remained. The evening passed in high ceremony, without excluding social ease. From the members of the royal family, the guests had every measure of courtesy. The conduct of the Queen was remarkable. This venerable personage, the head of a large family-her children then clustering about her the female head of a great empire-in the seventy-sixth year of her age-went the rounds of the company, speaking to all. There was a kindliness in her manner from which time had struck away useless forms. No one did she omit. Around her neck hung a miniature portrait of the King. He was absent, scathed by the hand of heaven; a marriage going on in one of his palaces; he, the lonely, suffering tenant of another. But the portrait was a token superior to a crown! It bespoke the natural glory of wife and mother, eclipsing the artificial glory of Queen."-Rush's Narrative of a Residence of the Court of England.
