Wt•have received the following letter on the subject of this
marriage frotn,the North :
`f'Sir—As the, wondering world seems wild with the wander-
ings.ana wedding of the Golden Ball and his 41ferrydatity, I
beg to hand you an extract of a letter I received from Banff
yesterday, dated 29th March, which throws a pleasing light on
the subject:—
"''. We had a private wedding here on Palm Sunday, which,
from the stile of the parties elated much curiosity anti surmise
till the arrival of your newspaper put us in possession of their
names. They arrived at Duff House late on Friday evening, and
were married there on Sunday by our Parson, the 'Rev. Mr.
Lin AN T, who received from the golden bridegroom 100 guineas
for his trouble., The bonny bride was given away by'the Earl of
FIFE, and the happy couple left his noble mansion 'soon after
the ceremony, accompanied by the bride's mother. Ailiere
they are to spend the honey moon is a moonshine matter, of
which. we are not in the secret here. • '

" 4 Our Parson is quite pleased with his day's work, and
would have no'objection to sudt a Golden Ban rolling to our
neighboltrW every &MIRY..

Tut ARTS.—Mr. PHILLIPS, R. A. one of our very
hest Artists' has nearly finished, we• presume, for
next annual display at the Royal academy, a
whole length portrait of the Duke of YORK, in
the Magnificent attire in which his Royal High-
ness appeared at the late Coronation. The like-
ness is exact, and the countenance is marked by
'the -expression- of that affable and benignant
temper.which is so well known to characterize the
amiable. It is indeed a splendid port-
rait, .
•
and would .do honour to any artist, at any
period. ••
P ETEKS Er.o PUN.—SOrne wags in the Borough
of retlrstield, have for a long tune, not unappropriately com-
pared the Lord of the manor there (who is patriin of the
borough) and his piincipal friends, to King Artasomines and
the oe,er characters in that laughable " Burlesque Extravn-
called " 130mbastes }lmmo," which it .will be recol-
lected opens with a trio between the King of Utopia and his
Courtiers to the air of Tckeli. At Outlast Court Leet held for the

SOCIETY FOIL THE RELIEF OP WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
OF MEDICAL 3,lltx.—The anniversity festival of this bene-
volent Institution was held on Saturday evening, at the. Al-
bion Tavern, Aldersgateltreet. At six. o'clock a numerous
and highly respectable assemblage 'sat down to a sumptuous
dinner, the President, 1)r. BAILLIE, in the Chair, supported
by several-of the most distinguished members of the medical
ald surgical profession. 'On the cloth being removed, Non
Nolris Domirie was sung in fine style by, the vocal per-
formers; after which the toast of " The King, •' was given, and
drank with warm applause. The usual loyal toasts followed, and
on (he health of the President being
announced, it was received
with loud cheers. The Chairman, in an able speech, re-
returned thanks, and expatiated on the importance and
utility of the society, which he earnestly recommened to
:the support of the profession., The healths of the Vice Pre-
Semereantayrhweresthideenu tsdiraTnrkeaswuritehrs,
mDairrkeecdtorsa,pp7m`rubsaticosn,, anandd
excel-
lent addresses were made on behalf of the Institution,
which appears to have effected great good since its establish-
ment in 1708. The sum of 11,908/. has been distributed
' among persons: eligible to receive assistance. At present 22
widows (some of whom have farhilies), anti two orphans, re-
ceive relief from the funds. There are now 305 members. In
the course of the evening a long list of donations was read, at
the head of which stood that of his .Majesty for 100 guineas.

A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE has just been cum-
,mubieated to us, ichich among other signs of the time,"
items to argue a fatuity, or a dereliction of duty and principle
among those who, from their office anti station, are bound by
,every motive, human and divine,- to aid our public institutions
in, this their hour of trial and peril.: A meeting of the Clergy
Of the Riding had been convened at Thirsk, for the pun.
pose of addressing Parlianient against The Roman 'L'Catholic
claims to power' which . was luost respectably and nu-
merously attended. The object of the meeting was known,
and conaequently when an appropriate and moderate pe-
tition
was proposed the general assent was given to it ;
to the no small surprise of the assembly, however, a coun-
ter address in favour of the Roman Catholic Claims was
brought forward—nor were their surprise diminished by the
circumstance of its being proposed and seconded by Mr.,
A aciinEACON WRAWGIIAM; the ARCHBISHOP of Yoaa's
confidential chaplain, and Mr. VERNON, the .Archbishop's
awn son 1 The trick failed, and only five or six expectant
divines, to whom it was intimated that their suffrages were
expected from a higher quarter, could he induced to hold up
their hands against the sense of the great majority of the meet-
ing. But the matter does not rest here; or we should pro-
bably have left these gentlemen to the operation of
public
opinion, in the quarter where their conduct is most justly sp.,
predated. But a manoeuvre is in program under the manage.
ment of this liberal minority,, for the purpose of securing prece-
dence—at least in point of ume—to their Address; and, to add
to the effect, is to be presented as the Address of the WHOLE
Rintrta t There may be something to smile at, in the cross-
ing and jostling of political parties, and even in the juggling
of electioneering manoeuvres, but as long as we can wield a
pen, we will protest against every thing that savours of political,
intrigue, or which can tend to transfer the di/graceful expo.:
dienta of faction to the sanctuary of our national Church.
She is beset from without, and from within ; Hyst-ruartsic
—which is Clerical Hu maun, as contra-chatinguisited from
political—is gnawing at her very vitals, whihit Wittooratir is
labouring to strip her of every decent external. We trust she
will yet brave and baffle the cant of the one, and the cold.
blooded infidelity of the other ; and we will give her our hearty.
• aid and assistance for the purpose. But if we perceive in any
part of that body.—whether it shew itself on the Bench nr in a
country Curacy--a deeased, or • ulcerous part, we will cry as
loud as the loudest of the REroustras, to cut it off; and in
a Voice too, that shall be heard to the remotest corner of the
Etnpiret-4FroniJons BULL.)
