PETERSFIELD.
CELEBRATION OF THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.—‟To be or not to be, that is the question.” Now are all led to believe that coming events cast their shadows before them, so we trust that the quiet of the present week is but a presage of something looming in the distance (exclusive of tbe Rifle Ball coming off on Monday next) to do something to inaugurate the marriage of the Prince of Wales to the Princess of Denmark, upon that happy and joyous national ceremony, so fraught with hopes in the future of England’s glorious destiny. We therefore hope that steps may be at once taken, in the right quarter, so that Petersfieldians and their neighbonrs may be enabled to join in this happy national movement, and that if no one will stand forward to commence that at least some of the inhabitants will sign a requisition to the Mayor to call a meeting at the Town Hail, that something may be done upon so rare and interesting an occasion as the marriage of a Prince of Wales, by a general holiday, in which the poor may not be forgotten. It may not be out of place to observe that if the Rifle Corps held a grand field-day, by way of celebration here, where so many available advantages offer, it would be aiding the means at hand, in giving eclàt to the loyal aspirations of the inhabitants of this ancient borough.
