A letter from the Count do Prangins gives us
some curious details of a wedding which was celebrated
last week at Bruges, in the haute bourgeoisie. The bridal
gifts were presented in presses of splendid workmanship,
the carving of the oak being quite worthy of the beet days
of the renaissance. The marriage settlements were read
aloud, and as every item of the bride's trousseau was in•
scribed, and every single article of household linen was noted
down, the length of time which the reading took may be
easier to imagine then to have endured. The settlements
concluded by a clause stating that as the bride est de tacit
plot—the ancient term for "extremely economical"—a
certain sum had been allotted to her for her pocket money.

On Tuesday a sort of competitive examination
took place at the riding-school of the Rue Duphot, Paris,
the object of which was to ascertain the relative merits
and attainments of grooms, helpers, and stable boys. The
idea was started by General Fleury, who considered that
the breed of horses would never make any serious progress
in France so long as men were not properly trained to
manage them. He therefore inaugurated a system of
" diplomas," which henceforth are to be distributed to
coachmen, grooms, &c., certifying their qualifications and
length of apprenticeship, aa well as the names of the
trainers under whose teaching they have learnt their
business.

Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo-
nial-office from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope
and St. Helena. Despatches were sent to the Governors
of Malta, Gibraltar, and Canada.
DEATH OF • NONOGENARUN.—At Surfieet, Oct.
3, Mr. JArnes Jackson. carpenter, in his 96th year : he had
lived in the parish all his life, and has left nine children,
5.5 grandchildren, and 52 great grandchildren. About six
years back he made his own coffin : the breast-plate he cut
out of wood, and he printed his name on it, leaving space
for date and age. He had never been ill, or taken any
medicine until within three months of his death. His
remains were interred on Sunday last, when about
200 people assembled in the church-lard. Being an old
ringer a dumb-peal was sounded for bars.—Stamford Ater-
cure.
Tug CHOLERA IN ESSEX.—We regret to state
that the cholera has broken out at Collier-row, near Horn-
ford. Some hop-pickers, returned to their homes, are
considered to have brought it to the place. Four persons
who died of it were buried on Tuesday night, and two more
on Wednesday night, but during the day there had been
no fresh cases, and one or two were recovering.
MURDER AT • LIGHTHOUSE. —The lighthouse on
the small islet of the Mannora has just been the theatre of
a double murder. During the night of the 22nd ult. both
the keepers of the station were assassinated ; their reposi-
tories were broken open, and their arms carried away. The
robbers appear to have then loaded the keepers' boat
with a quantity of stones and sunk it in the middle
of the channel which separates the islet from
the island of Marmora, in order, evidently, to give
rise to the belief that the keepers had met with
a fatal accident in crossing with their boat to the island.
But the action of the waves having brought the merged
boat to the surface, it was evident that boles had been
male in the bottom from the inside for the purpose of
sinking it, and no doubt therefore remained as to the
nature of the crime of which the poor light-keepers had
been the victims. The lantern continued unlit for three
nights, as the stormy weather rendered it impossible to
reach the Wand. The lighthouse administration, however,
I immediately sent fresh keepers by the steamer Falbair.
The bodies of the keepers have been recovered, but the
police believe they have a clue to the murderers, who
' belong, it is thought, to the adjacent island of Marmora.
—Levant Herold.
