NUPTIAL RITRS INTERRUPTED.

On Sunday last s 'nippy swain, known as en itinerant yen•
der of thread sod tape in the York market (eparriere har-
ts( Arst brew duly published) led his intended rib," In profit,
and beauty blooming" to the hymeneal altar in Christ
Church, in the Haymarket, in this city. The priest ar-
rived—the ritual was opened—and the ceremony about to
proceed, which was to retire their thread of life together,
when In! the uncertainty of all sublunary good—a matronly.
looking dame rushed is and aseerted a powerful claim to the
envied place in the pack of this pedlar. '4 filve had entertained
him so her lodger for four years—had lent him upwards offrOl.
sod he had promised her a husband's protection." The so-
lemn temple now became a place of en•lueiow and uproar—
the worthy Clergyman was obliged to peed pone the ceremony
to more " lovely acmes"—and she that wu■ to be—and she
that would be, retired to Mond over their •• uolocky stars'!'

Extract from the Madre; Government Gazette,
dated the 18th of December, 1821 it is our
painful duty to record the death of another of his
Majesty's Judges in India. The lion. Sir W. D.
EsvAss, Recorder of Bombay, clued on the sth in-
stant, after a very short Ohms.. Thus the Bench at
the Sister Presidency has again lost its only Jadge."
BOUM—The office of " Champion of Eng-
lind" will be no sineemre in the hands of Spring.,
whose chnllciige Neale has accepted. The contest
between Ouse hooks of the ring was on Friday ar-
ranged definitively for 500/. aside, of which 3001.
were immediately deposited.

PtDDIND and Co. No. 1, Cornhill, are certain
there are Iwo Points to the present Lottery, which,

require very few wards by way of eulogy—one is, there will
be au suspense, the whole Lottery being to be decided in one

Shares are sold at a cheap Rate—yet there are nut two
Bleak, to s Prize—Nu Fixed Prises. All Sirrling Mnuey—

The promise of • luxuriant fruit season, from
the present most enchiniing weather, is, we believe,
very general. One instance, which has come under
our observotion, almost supesses credibility. In the
garden of Flotilla Lodge, in this neighbourhood.
there are now two cherry trees, on which a most
supyrebuildwit blossoming has been succeeded by
r chew of fruit, which prumives to eclipse the-foliage
of the trees, and outnumber the leaves in the pro.
portion of two to one, at least. An experienced ob-
server declares that he never before witnessed so rich
a display.—(Greetwck Advertiscr.l
