MARRIAGES IN HIGII Livs.---The eldest daugh-
ter of Lord Harris (the General who so distinguished
himself at the taking of Seringapatam) was united,
on Tuesday lust, to Mr. Bradley, a gentleman of
large fortune—the ceremony was performed at the
family mansion, in Great George-street, Westmin-
ster. The alliance between Lord Viscount Mande-
ville, son of the Duke of Manchester, and the
accomplished daughter of Lady (I!ivia Sparrow, is
Fettled to take place in November next. The Lady
is an heiress; her fortune is 20,0001. a year. The
Earl of Liverpool has fixed upon the same month fur
his marriage with Miss Chester. Mr. Baring's son,
report says, is to receive the hand of Lady H. Mon-
tague, daughter of the Earl of Sandwich.
The final reductions iu all the Royal Dock-yards,
to bring them to a permanent peace establishment,
have been decided upon. The number of workmen
and labourers discharged from this dock-yard since
Match last, is about 30u; about 250 more are to
be discharoed. 'these numbers will include the
whole of the labourers and scar:Amen, whose duties
arc to be performed by mechanics, during the peace :
so that ail the workmen in the Duck-yard retained

......_ _
(1800,) will be mechanics. *lbis total number is I ,
exclusive of those who work in the woodinilk, metal
mills, millwrights' shoo, and rcpemakers, in number
about 200 more. When the !lumber discharged has
reduced the whole to about '2,200 men, it will then
be decided whether the men shall resume working
on Saturdays : should they, the olaibers will be
fiarther reduced by discharges, until their number
is 1800: but•if they shall continue to work five days
only in the week, the numbers will be reduced by
casualties only, until that number (1800) remains.
The men, afterwards, will be permitted to work
longer hours and earn more money. Last night 50
men were discharged, being the filth fortnightly dis-
charge, with the addition of ten to the number. All
the future discharges will be labourers and scavel-
men. There are still 1,000 shipwrights in the
Duck-yard. It is calculated that, eventually, nearly
900 men will be discharged, most of whom, with
their families, it is fearfully apprehended, will be-
come a burden on the parish of PUrliiel4-11amp•
shire Telegraph.
Among the numerous depredations committed by
the light-fingered gentry, during the King's visit
in Scotland, there is none which excites more sym-
pathy than the loss sustained by Mr. Blair, of
Cockston. Tired of the luxuries he enjoyed in
Edinburgh, Mr. Blair proceeded to the coach-oflice
to take his seat for Dundee, thinking " good easy
num," that he would pay his ticket out of the sum
of 81. being the remainder of the money he had
carried with him to bear his expenses. "Is there
reoin.for me in the etnx.ll?" Clerk—Yes Sir, there
is one place, but whether it will hold a gentleman
of your size, I cannot say till you try.' " What
is your charge ?" " Ten shillings, Sir." " God
bless me ! my money is gone!" cried the dumb-
foundered Justice, us he fumbled in his breeches
pocket : "My money is gone! my pocket has been
picked. D—n me if ever I come to Edinburgh
again 1" Mr. J. H. Scott, writer in Dundee, also
suikred some loss in the same place where the portly
functionary of the Guild Court was deprived of his
gold watch. The Hon. Mr. Mantle had his coat
cut in a crowd in the street, and his pocket-book
with 251. abstracted.
The bodies of the unfortunate waiters drowned on
Sunday morning, off Worthing, by the upsetting of
a small punt, in which they had put till; have been
washed ashore. Tiny presented a shucking vectit-
ee, the flesh of their faces being completely eaten
eff, supposed by crabs.
