MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.

, The marriage of the Lady Augusta Hare, eldest
daughter of the Earl and Countess Listowel, with Cap-
tain Granville Leveson Proby, second son of Admiral
the Hon. Granville Leveson Proby, and nephew of the
Earl of Carysfort, took place yesterday at St. George's
Church, Hanover-square, in the presence of a distin-
guished circle of the friends of both noble families.
The bride arrived, with her noble mother, at a quarter
to 12 o'clock. Her ladyship wore a handsome white
lace dress, with a veil of the same materiel, and looked
exceedingly beautiful. She was attended to the altar
by a train of nine bridesmaids, all similarly attired.
These young ladies . were—the Ladies Emily, Sophia,
Adela, and Eleanor Hare, sisters of the bride ; Miss
Howard, Miss Baring, Miss Hamilton, and the Misses
Proby (2), sisters of the bridegroom.
The religious rite was impressively performed by the
Hon. and Rev. Douglas Gordon. The bride was given
away by her noble father.

Our remarks on the excellent Juvenile Meng.
cancy Bill of the Eail of SHAFTESBURY have
brought under our notice a case of the applica-
tion, substantially, of its leading principle, which
we commend to the notice of the Poor Law Com-
missioners, who furnished the Lord Chancellor
with objections, and also to the imitation of all
boards of guardians throughout the country. The
guardians of the Tunstead and Happing Union,
West Norfolk, principally owing to the persever-
ing exertions of their very intelligent chairman,
JOHN POSTLE, Esq., have long acted on the plan
of using application for parish relief as a means,
when possible, of placing children likely to be
morally ruined by home training, in the union-
school, and under the care of the matron, at their
workhouse at Smallburgh. When the able-bodied
parents applied for relief, they offered to take the
children in danger into the establishment, declin-
ing out-door allowance. Under the present law,
widows left with families were, of course, the chief
applicants for out-door relief, and girls, the class
least able to support themselves by work in agri-
cultural districts. In repeated instances, the mo-
thers were seen to be taking a course which
could scarcely fail to destroy all sense of virtue in
their daughters, and to render them useless mem-
bers of society. These girls, placed in the school,
and instructed by the matron in household work,
have gone forth to the best situations, where they

After the ceremony, the Countess of Listowel gave a
breakfast at Kingston-house, at which all the parties
present at the church assembled. During the dejettner,
the band of the 2d Life Guards attended, and played a
variety of favourite music upon the lawn in the garden.
Early in the afternoon, the bride and bridegroom left
town for Holme Wood, one of the seats of the Proby
family, in the county of Huntingdon.
The members of the Marquis of Anglesey's family
were prevented being present at the ceremony, owing to
the recent demise of Lady Anglesey.
