Worshippers of rank have had their time fully occupied all this week in following doings of our host of Royal visitors. Nearly all the members of the exiled French branch of the House of Bourbon were over here to attend the, marriage of their chief's daughter at Wood Norton on Saturday. There was a big reunion also of the Two Bicilies branch, to which the bridegroom belongs; and the Spanish branch, of which the bridegroom's first was a member, represented by the King of Spain and his Consort as well as by other members. Among the Orleanists present was the bride's sister, the Queen of Portugal. It was, however, almost entirely a Bourbon gathering. So far asthe royal guests are concerned, the only member of the English Royal family present was Princess Beatrice, who was included by reason of her close connexion with the family through her daughter's marriage with the King Spain. Even to accommodate all the Bourbons, however, and the principal members of their suite, immense temporary additions had to be made to the mansion of the Duc d'Orleans.
