The loyal Marriage at Windsor. The marriage of the Heir to Eng land's diadem—to an island sceptre that rules one of the vastest empires in the worl&Lis a matter of importance where it has occurred ; of interest almost every where, and the space we give this, morn ing to the account from the Times is with unprecedented pomp and joy.. Ilere; where - we - received the. Prince of - Wales With a kindness which was mainly'eli cited by our impression as much of his mother's goodness as a woman,*as other passive excellence as - a Queen, there is almost a- _personal feeling in - faVor of the young man's well-doing. Our gentler thoughts are touched, too; by the assurance, which we are willing to accept as true, that the union is one of mutual affection, though, in point of fact, as the Prince of Wales could - legarry marry none but a Princess and a Protestant, the suitable young - ladies in Europe from he could select did not exceed the magical number of Seven,'and the preaent bride was chosen for him by his mother, long before either of them had even seen the young lady. '-lt, was fortunate that, in this lottery, he drew a winning ticket, endorsed by affection. The persons who were married in the chapel of Windsor Castle, on March the 10th, were ALBERT-EDWARD, Prince -of Wales; born on November 9th, 1841, and Ar,ExAls - DRA-CAROLINE CIIAIMOTTE LotosE-JuLre, Princess of Denmark, born on the first of December, 1844: The British people, though of a grave and usual unde monstrative character, sometimes have strong fits of enthusiasm. Thus, on the accession of Queen VICTORIA, this enthusiasm, en dowing a fair and gentle girl of eighteen with all the cardinal virtues, burst out into a sudden afro of spontaneous affection, 'which took the conventional title of " loyal ty." Something like this, with another name, has animated London, the heart of the British empire, on the occasion of the young and comely stranger passing through London, en route to Windsor Castle, a feW days before her nuptials:- Owing :to Queen. VICTORTA'S almost Morbid antipathy to ap pearing in public, since her husband's - death, the: marriage was personally witnessed by only eight or nine hundred picked and fa vored,: persona—the Queen being present, though. unseen. The British public would have been better pleased had the - ceremonial been performed . in 'Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's, where thousands could have seen it, and hundreds of thousands of out-door spectators might have. lined the streets and peopled the :-windows on the line of the gorgeous procession to and frOm the altar. It is tithe,. there is no precedent for this. It is certain that, since the accession of the House of Hanover, . in 1714, :and "long be fore,,British Royalty:has not condescended, in even a solitary instance; to be Wedded in public:: Still, one by one, the haughty habits of the Court have so beenrelaxed, .of late years, that John Bull naturally expected he would be allowed to see a ceremonial so in teresting to all his kith and kin. He will be allowed the gratification of paying for it. The cost is roughly estimated at $200,000. Marriage is frequently huff or unhappy, according, to use a familiar phrase, to the means of boiling the poi. The Danish bride is dowerless, but the bridegroom, as the elder-born son of England, and:future King, has enough for both. Each Prince of Wales is born, not.u'ith a silver spoon, but a golden ladle in his mouth. From the moment when he draws his first breath, he succeeds to vari ous hereditary titles, with the revenue of the Duchy of Cornwall to maintain' their "dignity." This annual..rental, when there is not a Prince of Wales, goes into the. pocket of the reigning monarch; Where there it" ought to be laid by, and husbanded for bird during the twenty-one years of his mi nority: GEORGE the Third took all this money, (a gross total of $1,100,000,) while his son - was : under age, and, subsequently decliired giving an account, or surrendering a sixpence of itclaiming the whole as an offset to the board and.lodging, dress and education of his elder-born from youth to manhood ! The parents of the Present Prince of Wales acted more honestly. The pecuniary affairs of the Duchy , of - Corn wall were so wisely administered, that on attaining his majority last NoVeniber he found his revenue or rental. increased from £-20;000 to over £40,000 a year —and accumulated rental to the amount of £593,000 in the three-per-cent. consols, ac tually worth k:420,000 at the market price Of the day. Out of this £220,000 has already been paid away on the Purchase of an es tate 'in Norfolk, to be the .Prince's - private country residtame; • the annual .rental of which will be about 25,600, or 21- per cent. on the capital invested. His outfit, such as the furnishing of Marlborough house, (ad jacent to St. James's palace,) carriages, stud, liveries, plate, absorb 2100,000 of the balance, and £lOO,OOO is to be ex pended on the mansion and land Nor folk The rent, with interest of the remain der added to the Duchy revenue, give the Prince a clear rental of £OO,OOO a year: To this, Parliament has added, ,40,009 a year for the Prince:and £lO,OOO a year for the Princess, with a final provision of, £30,000 a, yesuz_ox 0),nu1.c1.41..5,F41.1.1033 , 17.n.c1 before her, To our simple republican taste, the income of $550,000 per annum for a young couple just launched upon the ocean of marriage may appear, and indeed is, a very .large sum. -It ,is less, however, than other per sons in their position formerly possessed. In fact, there are at least threescorce British noblemen whose rental is as great ; there are a dozen who double and treble it ; there are some who are six, seven and eight times more richly endowed. At the head of all the rank: and wealthy of . the :empire, it has been conceded, even by the economists in the British Parliament, that the future King and Queen of England should have suffi cient income to_ live on, like the high no bility, without getting into debt. In a re public, most probably, the affair would have been managed more economically. The present allowance, however, is much less than at any fornier period, and it must be remembered that the value of money , is dearer now than it .fOrmerly was. • GEORGR 11, while Prihce of Wales, had ,ClOO,OOO a year and the revenue of the Duehy. His eldest son FREDERICK 'also had the Duchy income and a grant of ,no,oco a year, which' was subsequently doubled,: with the sum of £200,000 to pay his debts. - GEORGE Who was only twenty-two when he be came King, had the seine revenue as his father, F.ii.soEnroa. When the next Prince of Walek afterivarcls GEORGE 111, came of age, Parliament voted him £50,000 a yea,r, andlloo,ooolas an outfit, in addition to the Duchy income of £13,000 a year. Ere long Parliament had to grant R 161,000 to pay his debts, £20,000 to complete Carlton House, and add £lO,OOO per annum to his allow ance. In a few years the debts of this young hopeful amounted to £700,000, and his marriage with his cousin, Princess CAROLINE of Brunswick, took place on the stipulation that - the nation should discharge them ! This was done, and £28,000 was further granted for plate and jewels for "the happy couple ;" £20,000 more for the completion of Carlton House ; £125,000 year, with the Duchy revenue, for the Prince, and a separate jointure of £50,000 a year for the Princess, which was ulti mately given her during her lifetime. Against such lavish extravagance as this, £40,000 a year to the present Prince of Wales, and SlO,OOO a year to his wife, ap pears a comparatively moderate allowance. They will also have a palace rent free. But, on the whole, John Bull thinks that he has been let off very lightly in this dOtation. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL" : WASHINGTON, March 26, 1803 I could not repress a comparison that came into my mind this morning as I perused the broad and bright columns of thelast English journals. Here was a- na tion in ecstasy of anticipated joy. A yoUng Woman from the Royal House of Denmark was coming over the seas, like a true daugh ter of the Vikings; to greet a husband in the - heir to England's throne. The union of two hearts is one of those pleasing things in life that all people are: glad to see— and when royal youths plight their troth, subject's feel that royalty daes not escape the emotions, hopes, and embarrassments that come to all in that sacred time. England had seen many days of pomp, and history tells how Englishmen in the time of Elizabeth ex hibited their allegiance to the virgin Queen. But the day that I see anticipated in these Irxcertheitalt — Column after columnrletails the preparations for the royal:marriage ; the repairs to the venerable chapel at Windsor ; the questions of rank between Lord Mayors, and officers of the, Crown ; triumphal arches ; Suggestions from imaginative writers ; feasts for the poor; beacon-lights on the cliffs and crags, and a vast illumination; in which the dome of Saint Paul's was to radiate :like the sun, and the streets of London were to be as light as day. Leading articles discuss the proaession, the Wedding, the charms . of the lady, the virtues of ; the gen tleman the tiara and the wedding cake are minutely detailed, and there are eloquent paragraph§ upon. stitched monograms and jewels, with quotations frona the poets, and an ode from Mr. Tennyson which his ad mirers will scarcely care to see in the next edition of his poems. As the eye hurriedly passed over the crowded columns—with no other thought than that God might bless the young people who were to be wedded with such iniperial and oppressive pomP—l thought of my own country. " Amid the pages of festive story which we publish," says one of the journals that I have been reading, " there is a column devoted to the wars and woes of that coun try.which was wont to look down with com miseration or derision on the troubles of the Old World. While we are giving ourselves up with one heart and soul to rejoicings and congratulations, the Americans are tearing each other to pietas, and sacrificing the resources and even the liberties of their country to the exigencies of a des perate conflict." This is the malig nant taunt that the greatest newspaper in England hurls across the Atlantic hi the Midst of its rejoicings. Why is it that we Americans," who speak the Mine language as the Prince of Wales, with the same: blood, and the same glories in literature find -history, find ourselves engaged in this cruel war, when he and his future subjeets are enjoying happiness, security, and free dom ? Englishmen tell us that it is because our system is a failure, and that we are atoning in blood for the error of our fathers in leaving royalty for :.dennieracY. No thing could be more unjust to them selves and to us. England is not happy'to. day because she has a Queen and an aristo dracy, and the magnificence of royal life. Royalty : is but a pageant L---a remnant of the past--a relic of the feudal days—an heir . ; loom which costs more to preserve than any advantages it can possess are worth. The substantial liberties that England en joys - have nothing to do with this. They come from the people themsel*es, and the people Only obtained them by: passing through an ordeal of war and desolation such as Americans cannot conceive. Instead of welcothing a daughter of. Denmark to day;-the people of England, if they had been less true to their religion and their blood —if they had-faltered or fallen—if; indeed, they had followed the base and cowardly part which many of them ask Americana to take- 7 might-be under the stern rule of Napoleon. If . she had depended on: royalty in-those times of danger, she would have been lost. She met, the foe with a spirit which she now sneers at Aniericans for exhibiting, when she intermingles her rejoicings with scorn. England in joy, and America- in War, is . a strange thing to see. But the comparison has no sadness—for to the mind of every true heart there is a sublimity in our con test which no perils can take away, and no scoffing obscure. Our future has more gladness, more true happiness, more- glory than England's proudest day has _ seen. We are earning the right •to be joyful by making 'the greatest sacrifices that a free people can make ; and, While we pledge a cup to the happiness of the -Prince and Princess of Wales, we are Making a heri tage for our children which will be worth the sorrow and the hardships Which we now endure. . : OCCASIONAL. WASHING-TON. Special Despatches to ' Tht Press." WASHINGTON, March 26, 1863. Coming Report of the War Committee. The Committee on the Conduct of the War will . make a report upon four subjects—namely, Bull Bun, Ball's MIT, the campaign of the Army of the Potomac, and on Fnuaanslos campaign.

Senator CHANDLER WADE will be here on Monday next to see to the final preparation of the reports. The public will be afforded an early oppor tunity to read both the report and the evidence. Appointment of Midshipmen. It is evident from letters received here from mem bers of the late Congress, that they are of the opinion that they had provided for the 'appoint ment of one additional midshipman for each Repre sentative and Delegate of that Congress; but the proviso of the House failed in the Senate. A class will be admitted to the Naval Academy on the Ist of July, and the Department will soon notify those who are entitled to recommend clindidates under the Post Office Contracts.
