The Huron Expositor, 1870-12-09, Page 21° 2. SITOR. Hospital Scenes in -the Palace of Versailles. I went round tht•otigh the Palace wards aftetward. "Wards? " inde ! The first entered vas the "Salle des Geterries Celebres"—the ancient antechamber- of the apartthent of Madame_ de Pompadour—in which -were the, usual h tspital acenos—a Sister of Charity witli a uo vi its one - hand end a spoon IT1 tbe other feed- ing a soldier too weak to rise; surgeon dressing a dreadful wound "Pm trying taaave the joint, but I fear its a neat case." The poor wretch looked at the shattered bone as if he more than shared the doubt Hospital ordeilies moving about the rows of leile faces with anxious eyes, and above them ttll these brilliant warriors, in theatrical attitudes and glaring eye -balls, following you al over the place. I wish Prussian sur- geons used chloroforfil—that is, if it be desirable in a medical point of view. Bat it is not in favor, with them, nor is it with the French.— While I was in ene of the Sales des Marcehaux a surgean was probing a gunshot wound ia the thigh of a Mall, who uttered such harrowing yells that the Sister of Charity—thena is one in each room—turned-and fled, a wounded man near ortrst into tears, and all the ward were agitated ex- cept the surgeon and his assistants, one of whom tried to stop tbe out- _ cry by putting one hand on the top of the "patient's" head, and _squeez- ing the meuth and chin with the other, till the doctor lost his patience and roared tit the _wretched suffer& to be quiet, applying a strong term at the same time. The yell died into a whimpering, moan gill more dread- ful, and I retirtd. The doctor is a very clever man, I am wild, and has his hospital in capital "order. One man was alive with ,a ball lodged in his brain; he had even been con- scious. Another had the side of Ms head clean carried off by a bit of a - shell; a third in a ward ail by him- self was—but no' It was too horri- ,ble.

The marriage of British Royalty with a subject, says an English journal, though common in some previous centuries, has been illeeal during the last 100 years, except the royal personage intending to con- tract such marriage has received for it the special sanction of Dile soier- ei his was stringently laid down in what is known as the Royal Marriage Act (12 Geo. III., cap. II.), which was passed in 1772, at the eaarriage of his brother William Henry. Duke of Gloucester, in 1766. Avith the widow of Earl Waldegrave, an ille- gitimate daughter of Sir Edward Walpole. His brother Henry Fred- erick, Duke of Cumberland, in like manner offended thc king by his marriage in 1771, with Lady Anne Luttrell, daughter of the Earl of Carhampton and widow of Mr. Christopher Horton, of Cattonhall, Derbyshire. .It is well known that the late Duke of' Sussex keyed' his father's displeasure, and, in defiance ef that enaetmeiat, went through the ceremony of marriage with the 'late Lady Augusta Murray, second daughter of John, fourth Earl of Les:more, first at Rome in April, 1793, and again at St G-eotge's, Hanover Square, after the publicae tion of banns on. the 5th December following. His Itoyal Highness having been left a widower, mar- ried, secondly, Lady Cecilia, Letitia Buggin, a daughter of Arthur, sec- ond Earl of Arran, now Duchess of Inverness. In the • like manner George IV., while Prince of Wales, is said to have contracted a secret marriage with the celebrated Mrs. Fitzherbert ; but in none of the I above cases was the royal senction given to the union. In the previotis century King JamesII. had married as his first wife Lady Anne Hyde, daughter of the Lord Chancellor Clarendon, but previously to that time no member of the royal family of England, strictly speaking, had contracted a marriage will- a subject since the reign of Henry VIII. Princesses have been instinctively obedient to family law; and . we do not find an instance of a daughter of a living crowned .head marrying a, subject later than the reign of Ed- ward ITT., five centuries since. Marriages between princesses and • subjects have occurred since, but t most in five cases, and all under p culler eircurastences. The Princes Elizabeth, daughter of James T. and widow of the King of Bohemia, is understood to have privately maid ried Lord Craven, at whose house in Drury Lane she died. a few months after her ieturn from exile with her nephew Charles 11. ; but the circumstances of the marriage are extremely obscure, and the Queen °was entirely released from royal control. The Prineess Mary, rd VI. and niste o marry the hea Howard; Cour e- nxtitict Wallet s, never fully recog- nized the legality of the royal ti le of his father-in-law. - We must go back to Edward 1II.
