MISCELLANEOUS.The Preate of Sunday contains the following article in reply to observations of our (Morning Herald) on the marriage of the Prince de Joinville and the Princess of Brazil. We cannot help being struck by the recapitulation of the fortune which the princess brings her husband, and with the parental care the King of the French takes to find out such excellent matches for his children, as this lady not only has a very large sum in hand, but the throne of the Brazils in contingent prospective. The article of the Presse is as follows :—“ We can affirm that the Morning Herald has been badly informed relative to the fortune of Madame the Princess de Joinville.

The Princess de Brazil brings her husband by the contract of marriage l,000,000f. in cash, 2,180,000f. in Brazilian Six per Cents., 25 leagues of land at the choice of the Prince in the province of St. Catherine. The Princess lias moreover in private fortune 20,000f. a year in the Brazilian Six per Cents., and 200,000f. worth of diamonds, and the Emperor made her a present on her marriage of 300,00Of. for a trousseau.“ The right to the Crown of Brazil is expressly reserved to Madame le Princess de Joinville. She will become Empress of Brazil even to the exclusion of the eldest sister of the Queen of Portugal, if the Emperor Don Pedro II. and the Princess Donna Januaria, presumptive heiress, should die without immediate heirs.
