Ihe Earl of Liverpool will shortly lead to the
Altar Miss Chester, the sister of Sir Robert Chester,
M'aster of the Ceremonies. Bliss Chester was the

puted, threw open the creek, and up to the present

stroyed, and the Lord Mayor consented to go tb.ovn
and receive presentments on the subject. This
creek has been known to preserve numbers of lives.

mish between a small party of the royalists and con-
stitutionalists, and, fearful that his luaus would be
seized, returned to Victoria. The mails of Thum
day and Monday next are expected to arrive toge-
