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 wero
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 ECCENTRIC TRAYELLER.—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. lle would leave Southampton
suddenly, scarcely acquainting his confidential clerk that
he was going, and no ono 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 left Southampton suddenly and
secretly, according to his usual practice, and no one
knew of his whereabouts until his clerks received a
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 in
twat e hours, in America. Had he died a day before,
no ono in this country would probably have ever heard
any thing about his decease; but he happened to have
been introduced to some one about a day before he was
taken ill, which person attenCed 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. Ho was unmarried,
and about 45 years of age. He was a great connoisseur
in pictures. and his collection is said to be worth 20,0001.
Mr. Randall has died wealthy, and has left a large por-
Von of his property to charities and schools in South-
ampton. Ile was much respected in the town, and the
news and particulars of his death have caused a great
sensation them.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT ON THE RICHMOND
RAILWAY.-0n Wednesday Francis Williams, one of the
ticket takers at the Richmond station, was taken into
custody while doing duty there, and conveyed to the
police-station on a charge of embezeing various sums
of money belonging to the company. Soon after the
charge was entered, Sir Thomas Reeves, one
of the local magistrates, attended at the }police-
station, when the prisoner was taken before him.
Mr. Young, the assistant superintendent of the South-
Western Railway and its branch lines, was in attendance
to prosecute, and from the statement of that gentleman
it appeared that occasionally it is the practice of passen-
gers when pressed for time to rush on the platform and get
into carriages without taking a ticket. In these cases the
company was obliged to depend upon the honesty of their
servants. From information which had reached Mr. Stovin
the managing director, persons were sent down to Rich-
mond on different days, and by different trains, without
tickets, and the fares on their arrival there were paid to
Williams, whose duty it was to pay them over to the
company. The company's rules required that the
ticket-taker receiving money under such circum-
stances is at once to enter the same in
book kept for the purpose, and also on a printed
sheet or form prepared fur the purpose, and forward
the latter to the audit office at the principal station.
These sheets had been examined from day to day, and
in no instance were the sums paid for the purpose o
detection accounted for. These persons went to Rich
mond to identify the party, and they at once pointed ou
the prisoner Williams as the person they paid the money
to. Witnesses were then called to prove the case, and
the prisoner was remanded to a future day, but was told
that bail for his appearance, himself in 501., and two
sureties in 251. each, would be accepted for his appear-
ance on a future day.

SHOOTING AT A COMRADE BY A PRIVATE IN THE

morning a private, named Thomas Ilillier, of the Gre-
nadier Guards, was brought before the bench at Wind-
sor, charged with having, on the sth inst., discharged his-
musket, loaded with ball, at Joseph Trowles, another

tent to murder him. The prisoner, who bad been con-
