WHAT THE YANKEES SAY OF lIS.—We copy the following
from Ballon's Pictorial, Boston, 19th January, 1856 :
" Bread riots are becoming common all over Great Britain ;
—while the working classes are clamouring by thousands for
bread, the Queen, as some one says, is in her parlour,
eating bread and honey, perfectly indifferent to the sufferings
of her wretched subjects. The war is literally eating up
England, and the erd is not yet."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL Coua.r.—Tbe February: sessions of
this court will commence this day at the Sessions House,
Old Bailey. The judges, in addition to the recorder, are
Mr. Justice Willes and Mr. Baron Bramwell. There are,
notwithstanding the short period that has elapsed from the
last session, no fewer than 86 persons are for trial, many of
the cases being of a very serious character, there being three
cases of murder, that of Corrigan for the murder of his
wife, in Church-street, Minories ; that of Westron, the
hunchback), for the murder of Mr. Waugh, the solicitor,
of James street, Bedford-row; and that of a female, for the
murder of her infant child ; but the most important case
is that of the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, which, in consequence of
the abandonment of the writ of certiorari, will be tried at
this court. It is believed, also, that the indictments against
Gordon and his co-conspirators will be proceeded with for
the City frauds. Beyond the cases mentioned, the session
will be a light one.
EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A MARRIAGE.—On Friday
last an elderly young man, tired of the monotony of " single
blessedness," and discovering from sad experience that it
is not good to be alone, led to the hymenal altar at Dunaroad
Roman Catholic Chapel a young and blooming damsel to be
made happy for life. The gay Lothario is somewhere on
the shady side of 50 ; his lady love has seen 17 summers.
The priest was early in attendance, and numerous friends of
the happy couple were present to give eclat to the proceed-
ings. His reverence proceeded with the eventful ceremony
with due gravity and d;spatrh. The bridegroom had already
plighted his hand and heart, and now came the bride elect's
h oi oldth epl attach-
mentriopv.?,rh
turn to give a similar response, when, to the utter dismay of
all present, she uttered a most decisive negative, bounded
to her feet, and bolted instantly from the sanctuary, leaving
the unhappy swain in estate more to be pitied than laughed
at. The present whereabouts of the spirited damsel is not
known, It
