APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH
LIFE.-,-We understand from a source on which reliance
can b:.• place I, that a marriage is on the topic between
Viscount Jocelyn, eldest son of the Earl of Roden, and
Lady Fanny Cowper, youngest daughter of Viscountess
Palmerston. The nuptials of the Earl of Abingdon
and the Hoe. Miss Hardwick Kerr, daughter of the
Ire Lord Ma-k Kerr and Countess of Antrim, and
cousin of the Marquis of Lothian. are to be solem-
nis, don Thursday, the 11th instant. The Noble Earl is iu
his 57th year, and the fair fiancee will complete her 25th
heir in June next. It is said the " match" is not wholly
approved of by the members of the Noble Earl's family.
The marriage of Sir Willoughby Wollaston Dixie, Bart.,
and Miss Lloyd, daughter of the Dowager Lady Trimles-
towr, and Major-General Sir Evan Lloyd, is to take place
at the close of this or early in the ensuing month. The day
fixed f r the marriage of Lord Monteagle and Miss Marshall
not transpired, his Lordship has taken the mansion of the
Right Hoe. Wm. Sturges Bourne, in Lower Brook-street,
al his residence after his marriage. It is currently re-
ported in tl e higher circles that a cer:ain wealthy lady
has rejected the addresses of the eldest son of a Noble
Earl, and his Lordship has, within the last few days,
raker his departure for the "sunny clime," to brood
over lis manuals succes. It is fully believed that a
distinguished Member of the Administration, at the close
of the ie son, wlt lead to h: hyme e 1 altar, the fair
dauelittr of one of his colleague!. When announced
a few months back, the tl.en rumour was denied,
as was said, from " authority ;" but numerous cases might
oe meat onrd, where such eentradictions have gone for
zit i. g. By the way it is rumoured that a marriage will
be brought abt,ut this season Letween the beautiful and
accompli he _1 daughter cf a Countess, /a belle blonde of
Almack's, and the sou of a Noble Prince. This, we ap-
Frehend, is only a " matrimonial view," and should say,
at most, in re -spective.
Letters from Bremen, dated the 22d ult., mention
that an exptriment made for blowing up the ice with gun-
powder, by which the Weser was covered, had corn-
p'e,ely succeeded. The ice, it is said, has been wholly
cleared away, and tie naviga.ion of the river throughout'
i 9 entire course, at and near Bremen, rendered per-
t! tly free.
