The Princess Royal's Bridal Presents. \ esterday afternoon tlie representatives of the public were admitted at ;J?uc?kitigham Palace to see the magnificent collection of bridal gifts which have been presented to the princess Royal bv every member of the Royal family, by most of the illustrious guests w^\r? have lately lion ored lier Majesty with a * .vi^it, and by some ol the chief personages of .the illus j trious house wirlr "vhich she is now so i happily connected. Most of the articles were ticketed with . then awe of the illustrious individual liruu) j whom they came, so '.hat a catalogue 1 ruisoiuite could be formed ubich we j pend, only as a general rule withholding j (the price list. The most conspicuous 1 among the brilliant mass was tlie present | of the King and Queen of Piu>ia?a lofty I open coronet of diamonds, the design of j which with its thin spires of brilliants, j and open shell work between, is probably .one of the most chaste and graceful that . has ever heen executed. Kigi.il with this | ?ic muse given oy ller Majesty, The i -first is a bioad diamond necklace, with a treble row of tbe most brilliant drops and long pointed te.riiiin its, which match the light tracery of thecoroyet. T.he sec x>nd gift from the Roval mother consists .of tluee massive brooches, somewhat in the style and size of the dcotch plai.l brooch, bat which, instead of having an .open circlet in the middle, are in each case filled with a noble pearl of the verylargest size and purity of color. The Prince Consort gave a snperh bracelet of (brilliants and emeralds, which is beautiful ?>olh in design and execution, and is alto gether a most costly present. This has additional interest in the eyes of visitors, ?ro>m its being one of the bracelets which the young bride wore at the,Chapel Royal,on Monday last. That which she wore on the left arm was abo a diamond and emerald bracelet, presented by tlie gen ' tlemeu of the Roy al household, hut w hich ; though a splendid present, and probably | equal in value to the Prince's, is much in ferior to it in design, and stili more so in the manner in which it is set." The gitt of the Prince of Wales is in rich heautv of effect far superior to them all. It is a suite of ear rings, brooch, and jiecklace of opals and diamonds; but the opals, in play of color and irridescence, are surperior to any we have yet seen, and the design of the settings is quite in keeping with the exquisite beauty of the stones Riey enclose. As we have said, in magnificent, and at the sail e time chaste effect this gift surpasses all But the present .of the bridegroom is perhaps the most costly, though in appearance the most simple of any. It is a necklace of peaiIs, and our rentiers may easily judge of their value when we say that the necklace, though full sized, only requires 30' to complete the eniire circle, w hu h gr iduales in size from the centre, tape'ing less and } less in size of jewels as it approaches each ! end. The three ccntrepearls in this mi perb cirdet are said to be of great value. *j ll** (jiippn ?r?uua ?? #1.;? i * 4* -1 iniMj iii in inree I silver caudelaluMS, wliicli form the most I regal looking group in silver Me have I ever seen. The Princess of l'rusii given J a truly regal gift of a stomacher brooch of brilliants. The stones in this superb or nament are large and oftlie purest water, and the setting and design are exquisite. Iu ? little card-box, with a delecftte fringe left out to show the pattern, is the gift of His Majesty the king of the Belgians ? It is a Brussels lure, dress made expressly for t'ija young bride, and our readers will be heat able to judge of its exquisite b-aii ty and carefully elaborated workmanship when we state that it is valued at no less man o",UUOl , or A/2 000 Marling. Olli I t*r things are there too wliieli were rich I and cosily in tlio extreme, but none of' them were ticketed, nor was it possible to I ascertain from whom or whence they came.
