MARRIAGE IN THE ROTHSCHILD FAMlLY.—Wed-
nesday last was appointed for the wedding, at Frankfort-
on-the-Maine, of Baron William de Rothschild, son of
Baron de Rothschild, of Naples, to a grand-daughter of
B. Solomon de Rothschild, of Vienna. Nearly all the
members of the houses of Rothschild at Vienna, Naples,
London, and Paris came to Frankfort to attend the
solemn ceremony. Sir Moses and Lady Montefiore were
also present. The bridegroom is very young and hand-
some. It is most remarkable, however, that he attends
very little to business, but is mostly engaged in religious
study and in the affairs of Jerusalem. He is a punctual
attendant at the synagogue twice every day of the week,
and wherever he goes is accompanied by his Hebrew
tutor. Indeed, his incessant devotion to the religion of
his ancestors has secured for the young Baron a universal
reputation.—Jewish Chronicle.
AN ECCENIRIC TRAVELLER.—A gentleman, named
Randall, a solicitor in Southampton, was in the habit of
taking a tour every year, which occupied him between
two and three months. He would leave Southampton
suddenly, scarcely acquainting his confidential clerk that
he was going, and no one would know anything about
him until his clerks would receive a letter from him
dated perhaps from St. Petersburgh or Vienna. About
two months since he l.ft Southampton suddenly and
secretly, according to his usual practice, and no one
knew of his whereabouts until his clerks received
letter, about a fortnight since, from him from Canada;
since which information has been received that Mr.
Randall was taken ill of cholera, died, and was buried is
twelve hours, in America. Had he died a day before,
no one in this country would probably have ever heard
anything about his decease; but he happened to have
been introduced to some one about a day before he was
taken ill, which person attended him in his illness, and
has written to Southampton the particulars of his death.
Mr. Randall was one of the most talented men in his
profession in the south of England. He was unmarried,
and about 45 years of age. He was a great connoisseur
in pictures, and his collection is said to be worth 20,0004
Mr. Randall has died wealthy, and has left a large pot'
tion of his property to charities and schools in South'
ampton. He was much respected in the town, and the
news and particulars of his death have caused a great
sensation there.

RAILWAY.—On Wednesday Francis Williams, one of the
ticket takers at the Richmond station, wait taken into

police-station on a charge of embezzling various sutBs
of money belonging to the company. Soon after the

of the local magistrates, attended at the 'police'
station, when the prisoner was taken before Win'
Mr. Young, the assistant superintendent of the South'
Western lt.tilway and its branch lines, was in attendance
to prosecute, and from the statement of that gentlemen
it appeared that occasionally it is the practice of passel''
gers when pressed for time to rush on the platform and get
into carriages without taking a ticket. In these cities the
company was obliged to depend upon the honesty of their
servants. From information which had reached Mr. Stovi°
the managing director, persons were sent down to Rich:
mond on different days, and by different trains, withon;
tickets, and the fares on their arrival there were paid L.t,
Williams, whose duty it was to pay them over to lu
company. The company's rules required that the
ticket-taker receiving money under such circa);
stances is at once to enter the same j
book kept for the purpose, and also on a printed
sheet or form prepared for the purpose, and forWer
the latter to the audit office at the principal statinl
These sheets had been examined from day to day, 1°
in no instance were the sums paid for the purpose
detection accounted for. These persons went to Bic!
mond to identify the party, and they at once pointed 011„
the prisoner Williams as the parson they paid the wool
to. Witnesses were then called to prove the case, 00
the prisoner was remanded to a future day, but was t4)O
that bail for his appearance, himself in 50/., and to;
sureties in 251. each, would be accepted for his apPe°,,
