THE PBINCBSS BOYAL'8 BBEDAL PBE8ENT8.On Tuesday afternoon, the representatives of the public were admitted to fluekingham-palace to see the magnificent collection of bridal gifts which have been presented to the Princess Royal by every member of the royal family, by most of the illustrious guests who have lately honoured her Majesty with a visit, and by some of the chief personages of the il-luBtrioua house with which she is now so happily connected.The most conspicuous among the brilliant mass was the present of the King and Queen of Prussia—a lofty open coronet of diamonds, the design of which, with ita thin spires of brilliants and open shell work between, is probably one of the most chaste and graceful that has ever been executed. Equal with this are those given by her Majesty. The first is a broad diamond necklace, with a treble row of the most brilliant drops and long pointed terminals, which-match the light tracery of the coronet. The second gift from the royal mother consists of three massive brooches,.somewhat in the style and size ofthe Scotch plaid brooch, but which, instead of having an open circlet in the middle, are in each case filled with a noble pearl of the very largest size and purity of colour. The prince consort gives a superb bracelet of brilliants and emeralds, which is beautiful both in design and execution, and is altogether a most costly present. This has additional interest in^the eyes of visitors from 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 also a diamond and emerald bracelet, presented by the gentlemen of the royal household, but whieh, though a splendid present, and probably equal in value to the prince's, is much- inferior to it in design, and still more so in the manner iix which it is set.The gift of the Prince of Wales is in rich beauty of effect far superior to them alL It is a suit of earrings, brooch, and necklace of opals and diamonds; hut thn nnola in nlnv nf colour and imdescence. are
