A class-mate of Henry Ward Beecher speaks of
him as a poor student, but marked as a speaker and de-
bater—taklng the lead of his class. He read much while
in college of the English classics, but studied little in the
college curriculum. Ho was jovial, moral, and promising
in those days.

The marriage of Mr. Dennis R. Alward, Assist-
ant-Secretary of the United States Legation at
London, and son of the late Mr. Nathaniel Alward, of
Cayuga county, Now York, with Miss Emily W., only

York, took place yesterday at the Marylebone Presbyterian
Church, Upper George-sireet, Bryanston-square. The

Chalmers. A few friends only were present, among whom
were his Excellency the United States Minister at the
Court of St. James, the Hon. Mrs. Charles Francis Adams,

States Legation), and Dr. David Kindleberger of tho

THE KNIGHTS OF THE GARTER.—Yesterday Sir
C. G. Young, Garter Principal King of Arms, with
several of his assistants, was occupied for some hours in
placing the banners and arms of the newly created knights
of the Most Noble Order of the Garter above the stalls in
the choir of St. George's Chapel, Windsor. The helmet,
sword, scarf, and banner of his Majesty King Christian
IX., of Denmark, father of her Royal Highness the Princess
of Wales, were placed on the Princes' or north side of the
choir, those of his Majesty King Louis of Portugal, and
Louis 111. Grand Duke of nesse, being fixed over their re-
spective stalls on the south or Sovereigns' side. The ban-
ner and arms of one of the deceased knights were removed
from the Chapel.

THE LATE MR. JUSTICE CROMPTC4L—Conse-
quent upon the death of Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr.
Justice Blackburn, by seniority, will be the chief Puisno
Judge iri the Quen's Bench. Like the late judge, he had
" not taken silk" before being raised to the bench by the
late Lord Campbell. The senior Puisne Judge at the pre-
sent time in Westminster Hall is Mr. Baron Martin, who
was made a judge in Michaelmas Term, 1850. He has now

A NICE PAIR OF DUELLISTS.— the France says:—
A duel has taken place at Anceny, near Nantes, between
two officers. The combatants wore, it is said, M. de Ca-
doudal, and M. de Fleurant. They were, it appears, pretty
equally matched, one being engaged at his 33d duel, the
other at his 23d. M. de Cadoudal received a sword cut in
his chest, but the steel having slipped, the wound is slight.
In return for this thrust ho wounded M. Flourant in the
right hand.
LORD PALMERSTON BORN AS WELL AS BURIED IN
IVESTMINSTER !—The next question is, when and
where did Henry John Temple first see the light ? It is
generally said that ho was born at Broadlands on the 20th
of October, 17B4; but this statement has been called in
question so far as the place is concerned, and Dublin has
been suggested very confidently. Feeling a little curious,
wo turned to the Gentleman's Magazine for the proper date,
but found no record of the illustrious little stranger's ad-
vent. We then turned to the European Magazine, where
wo read the nobly simple announcement under the head of
October, " Lady Palmerston of a son." This is every letter
they could spare for ono whose exit was to be a memorable
event in our history. Not quite satisfied, we pushed our
inquiries as far as the old Scot's Magazine, a serial of good
standing at that day. Wo were startled to read as follows—
" Oct. 20, at Park-street, Westminster, the Lady of Lord
Viscount Palmerston of a son." If this be true, Lord Pal-
merston belongs neither to Hampshire nor to Ireland, but
to that Westminster where ho was so conspicuous for almost
60 years.—The Queen.
