DEATH OF TEE EARL OF ABERGAVENIVY, —We

honours and estates. He married, in 1521,
second daughter of Ralph Leeks, Esq., 1.•4,..!! 41
Hall, Shropshire, by whom he had two sons rut the.,
daughters. The deceased earl did not take •;,..
part in public affairs, but was a strenuous and

institutions of Kent and Sussex. Ile was the 1.• •r

TIES NEXT LORD MAYOR OF LOLCDON.—SI4.I2

li k

interest is beginning to be felt in the election of a Lon'
Mayor of London for the ensuing year, which will dike
place next month, inasmuch as it is said not to he im-
probable that the conservative' will take advantage ,d the
political excitement which will prevail by that time to it-
tempt the re-election of the present chief magi‘trati.. Tho
ordinary course in such elections is to put .erior,,,r the
names of the aldermen " below the chair —that is,_elo
have not Served the nutyoralty, but who have servedoffice of sheriff—and for the Livery to return the tint two
to the Court of Aldermen, who select the senior for the
chief magistracy. This course has on some memorable
occasions, but not frequently, been departed from. If
the usual plan is carried out this year, the names of the
following gentlemen will be put to the Livery :—Ahlenuiti
J. C. Lawrence (Walbrook), elected 1860; Alderman T.
Dakin (Candlewick), elected 1801; Alderman R. lholey
(Alderagate), elected 1661 ; Alderman Sir S. H. Waterl..w
(Langbowne), elected 1863 ; Alderman Lusk, M.P. ',Aid-
gate), elected 1863; Alderman Stone (Bassishaw), elemol
1864. The names of Alderman Cotton, Alderman Cand,n.
and Alderman Owden cannot be Ind, as they have red
served the office of sheriff. It will be seen, therefore, th
unless the conservatives can succeed in re-electing
Alb r-
men Allen, the present chief magistrate, Alderman J. C.
Lawrence will be Lord Mayor of London for the ciwang
year.—Post. ZS

FIRE AT ST. GEORGIC'S WORICHOUSE.—A tiro is
reported to have broken out in the workhouse of St.
Gump 's, Hanover-square, situate in the Fulham-rand.
The Me seems to have originated in the drying-room.
which was destroyed, the mangling and ironing rooms
being also damaged. The infirm ward (the inmates of
which Were removed when the tire broke out) was but
slightly damaged.
A SPIRITHALIOT MARRIAGE.—At Akron, Ohio, a
few days ago two petsossof spiritual faith married them-
selves with a little aid from the mayor. by repeating the
following formula :--" In the presence of our spirit and
earth friends I take Alecta A. Sandford. whom I hold by
the right hand, to be my lawful wife, hoping, by bnd
nese and affection, to be to hers faithful and loving
husband while in the earth form." The lady then replied:
"In the presence of oar spirit and earth friends r take
Abel Underwood, whom I hold by the right hand, to
be my lawful husband, hoping,
_by kindness and affectiem.
to be to him a loving and faithful wife while in the earth
form." The mayor then said :—" Having pledged your
marital vows in the propene. of These witnesses and of the
world, I now, in the name and by the authority of the
state of Ohio, pronounce you husband and wife.' The
Beene says they would lave no form of ceremony in
which the word death oomirred.—sYne lbrk paper.
