Marriage in High Life.

On Tuesday, the nuptials of Mr George Howard, son of
the Hon. Charles Howard, M.P., and nephew of the Earl
of Carlisle, with the Hon. Rosaling Stanley, the youngest
daughter of Lord and Lady Stanley of Alderley, took plade
at Alderley Church, Cheshire. There were five elegantly-
decorated triumphal arches erected by the tenantry on the
way from the hall to the church, and a great many of the
inhabitants assembled thereat and heartily cheered the
wedding patty as they passed. The church was tastefully
decorated with flowers, fruit, and corn by the tenantrY.
What with the company from the hall, principally
tenantry and school children, the sacred building 'see
crowded. About lOC persons, connected by consanguinity
and friendship with both families, were present at the in'
teresting event. The bridegroom and most of the wedding
party arrived bafore the bride, who was accompanied by her
mother, Lady Stanley of Alderley. As the bride alighted,
the several bridesmaids—viz., the Hon. Maude and Hon.
Kate Stanley, the Ladies Blanche and ulementina Ogilvy
Miss Scott, Miss Lowther, Miss Fox, and Miss Constance
Adene, received the bride, who was conducted by her
father, Lord Stanley of Alderley, followed by the brides-
maids,:to the communion table, in the front of which the
relatives and friends had congregated to witness the solem-
nity. Among those present, in addition to Lord and Lady
Stanley of Alderley and the bridesmaids, were Lord and
Lady Wensleydale, the Countess of Airlie, Hon. Charles
Howard, M.P„ Hon. W. Owen Stanley, M P, and Mrs

Mrs Augustus Lane Fox, Hon. Mrs Scott, Col. the Hon.
John Stanley, Hon, Algernon Stanley, &c. The Veil
Rev. Dr Stanley, the Dean of Westminster, assisted by
the Rev, Thomas Erskine, rector of Alderley, performed
the religious ceremony. The marriage was a choral one,
precisely the same as observed at the late marriage of Laid
and Lady Richard Cavendish at estminster Abbey,
the choir of the village church most ably discharging the
duties required from them, At the conclusion of the
service Mendelssohn's " Wedding Mare,." was played on
the organ. The happy couple, after the customary re-
gistration of their marriage, returned with their friends
to the hall at Alderley Park for the breakfast. Shortly
after two o'clock the newly wedded pair left for Nawerth
Castle, the fine old baronial seat of the Earls of Carlisle, in
Cumberland, to pass the honeymoon. The tenantry and
peasants belonging to the neighbourhood enjoyed them-
selves in the park with rustic games, the old Cheshire game
of" prison bars" affording amusement and relaxation during
the greater part of the afternoon. Lord and Lady Stanley
of Alderley gave an entertainment of tea, buns, &c., to the
whole of the school children who had taken part in the pro-
ceedings of the day. Some of the bride's numerous presents
were very costly, but among those gifts of re: pect none
were more esteemed than a photograph book from the
school children of Alderley, and a gift from the girls of the
parish of a handsome case of scent bottles.

The Duke of Newcastle has no intention for the
present to remove from Clumber Park, Notts, to
Brighton, as stated. His grace is, if anything.
better in health than when he left town for hie
country seat; but no great improvement has taken

place.
The Earl of Carlisle continues in much the same
state of health as when he left,Dublin. No change
for the worse has taken place, and there are Lopes
that, with retirement, his health may yet be re-
stored.

The Earl of Dudley, who is at present at hie
estates i❑ Scotland, surrounded by a select circle to

The Right Hon. Cl.ichester Fortascue,'M.P., and
Frances Countess Waldegrave are still visiting is

fore the end of the month.

Miss BATSMAN. This distinguished ectrcelP
(who need no longer be designated as " Transatik
'antic") is now fulfilling a brief engagement at the Theatre
Royal, Liverpo A, and the newspapers of that town speck
loudly in her praise. The Daily Post says— "Miss Bate'
man's engagement, the commencement of which we chro-
nicled at the beginning of the week, has been an overwhelta-
ing success. It is very seldom, except on the rare occasion
of a very great benefit, that the Theatre Royal has been so
crowded for a long time past as it is each evening to witneso
the performance of this distinguished tragedienne. As her
success is purely a legitimate one, accomplished in a piece
without sensational effects, and by no means remarkable for
literary merit, the fact of her brilliant success in Liverpool,
following upon that which she achieved in London, is a ad
dramatic event."

THE NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC REFORMATORY Ig
THE MERSEY.—At the monthly meeting of the Liverpool
town council yesterday, the following resolution was unani."
mously agreed to—" That this council make an order for
the payment of the sum of £1,500 towards the expenses of

reformatory school for Roman Catholic boys, on the con-
dition that the managers of such school do receive therein
from time to time, when enabled to do so, Roman Catholic,
boys committed from this borough, and directed-to be 004
to a reformatory school." The expense of fitting up the
ship Clarence, which, it may be remembered, was lent Or
the Government a short time ago, will be about £3,500. The
government expended about X 1,200 upon the vessel, anti the
committee therefore owo the government this amount.
committee of the institution have received donations to the'
extent of £2,040, and the annual subscriptions promised 1-1?
to the present time amount to £350. The whole of tb"
donations have been absorbed in fitting up the vessel and
placing her in a convenient position in the Sloyne. jhe
Clarence has accommodation for about 260 boys, but the
actual number to be received will be fixed by the governtucat
inspector.

FAILURES IN THE NORTIL—We yesterday grl'
nouneed the failure of Mr Clough, spinner ana
manufacturer, of Bradford, and there are rumours of another
extensive failure in the West Riding, which, however, Wt`
have been authoritatively unable to confirm. At a meeting
of the creditors of Alfred Teale on Tuesday it was stated
that the liabilities were considerably over £lOO,OOO, but
nothing is definitely known as to the assets. The consign'
clients on the books amount to £145,000, the books debts to
£3,000, the stock to /119,000, and the plant and machinery
to £6,000, so that if the realisation of the assets is favourable
there should be a large dividend. At present there is a°
confirmation of the rumoured irregular bill ti ansaotions bi
the bankrupt, and it was intimated that Mr Teale would
probably return on Saturday,—Zecds Xereury.
