THE IMPERIAL MARRIAGE CEREMONY.
The marriage ofthe Emperor of China, Kuang s, to Yeh-ho-na-la, niece of the Empress Dowager and cousin of the Emperor, took place on the 26th February. The following account of the ceremony enjoined by precedents was specially sant from Peking to our Shanghai morning contemporary :--|
A few days before the actual wedding the servants of the Office of Equipments will carry to the Imperial palaces with all ceremony the hundreds of articles for the use of the Emperor and his bride that have been prepared previously by the Board of the Imperial Household, and lept in the Empress' palace. These articles comprise jewellery, head-dresses, clothes and accessories, embroideries, needlework, fine china wire, gold and silver work, furniture, carved and inlaid upholstery, personal ornaments, stationery and so forth,
On the 24th of February the High Officers, by the Emperor's command, should go to worship a the Temples of Heaven, Earth, and the Gods, and announce the approaching nuptials.

and addressed a despatch to the Procurador. informing that official of his arrival, and request- ing him to no:lfy the Portuguese that whenever they had any question to settle with the Chinese of Macao, they should call upon the Mandarin to settle the same. The Procurador, by instruc- tions received from the Governor, ordered the Mandarin to quit the Holy City within twenty- four hours, which the worthy dignitary is said to have done. The Independente has sounded an alarm overthis little incident, in its customary sybilline style, much to the discomfiture of the Chin-san senatus populusqus.
The Governor of Macao will shortly proceed
order to make to Peking in
personal arquaintance with the Chinese Ministers and arranze about the long pending delimitation of the frontier of Macao. The idea being prevalent in the Holy City that the Island of Lapa should revert to the Portuguese, hopes are said to be entertained that an amicable arrangement may be come to, by which China will cede the coveted island to old Lusitania. The Portuguese had better claim the whole of the Kwang Tung province !
Several Portuguese functionaries are returning to Portugal by the next. French Mail, among them being Senhor Cadral, the Colonial Trea surer. Major Dores will be appointed Acting Colonial Treasurer.
The new Minister of Marine and the Colonies is Senbor F. Ressano Garcia.
A committee has been appointed to enquire
angements in charge of the eunuchs belong into the causes of the diminution of native
ing to the Empress' residence.
On the 26th of February, all being ready, four princesses will proceed to the Erapress' residence at 12 o'clock .m. (sic), to assist in robing the Empress. The robes that she will have to wear
Are :--
A red silk head dress" decorated with pearls,
rubies, chrysophrases, coral,
carnclians, amethysts, and jasper, and blue feathers.
An embroidered court robe decorated with jewels on the overlaps.
|
Two strings of coral beads,
A necklace decorated with coral.
A pair of jewelled earrings.
A folded handkerchief.
The Empress will rest after being robed, and then a runuch will come to the hall and invite her to come out and receive the marriage contract and gold seal. She will be attended by two princesses, while a eunuch holds the contract in both hands and reads it to her. This done, the Empress will retire to her hall and again rest. A eunuch then takes the gold sceptre and seal and hands them to the Chief Cominissioner, who replaces them in their pavilions all the proper officers and attendants being in their places. Another eunuch will fix the auspicious timė, and then eight eunuchs will carry the Empress chair into the hall, the chair containing a sceptre inlaid with Jade, This sceptre will be taken out by two princesses, and handed to a eunuch who will give it to the officer of the Imperial House- hold, who replaces it in its pavilinn.
a
The princesses will then help the Empress to take her seat in her chair, after giving her an apply, the chair having been fumigued with piece of Tibetan incense, and having been placed in the position of Pleasing God." The whole precession will then escort the Empress to the imperial palace, by the main front entrance, the Ta Ching gate. Princesses and noble ladies will enter by the back gate, the Shen Wu gate, and will awai the arrival of the procession at the palace. On its arrival at the Chien-ching gate, the attendants must stop, and the pavilions having been replaced here, the Ministers of the Board of Rites, will take out the gold seal and marriage contract from these pavilions and place them on the tables arranged at the Chino-tai palace, where eunuchs will be in waiting to receive them: During this time the officials of the Board of Music will perform, and then eight ennuchs will carry the Empress' chair into the Chien-ching palace, where she will be requested to alight, and will be transferred to another chair decorated with peacocks feathers, in which she will be carried to the Chungtsul palace. Here a brazier of live coals will have been made ready, over which her chair will be carried. The appointed princess will then ask her to alight, and present her with an apple. The sceptre inlaid with jade will be taken out of her chair, and she will be presented with a "precious bottle" containing pearls and gold coins.
A bow and arrow and a saddle bave been previously placed on the threshold of the bridal chamber, and the Emperor having arrived in full costume to meet his bride, takes the bow and arrow and shoots at the saddle on the threshold, and then removes the bride's veil. Princesses then conduct the Empress to the bridal chamber where the Emperor sits on the left hand of the bed, and the Empress on the right, face to face. The Princesses then request the Imperial couple to drink by joining their wine cups. When night comes, some of the ladies of the court offer them the pudding called the "Pudding of Sons and Grandsons," and the broth called the "Broth of Long Life." This having been done the Princesses will arrange the bed, sceptres inlaid with jade being put at the four corners of the bedstend.
