Caroline Randolph, Miss Slater, and Dies Anna Bird, who
offieiated as bridesmaids. The gallant bridegroom was sup-
ported on this interesting occasion by his brother, Mr. Albert
Ricardo. The party who were present at the ceremony con-
sisted of Lord grid Lady Gage, Lady Henley, Sir John and
Lady Pollen, Mr. and Mrs. J. L Ricardo, Mr. and Mrs. A.
Keyser, Mr.FulwarCraven, Mr. M. Ricardo, Mr. Albany B.
Saville, Mr. Alfred Peel, and Mr. W. H. Motley. The morn-
ing was unusually fine, and this, combined with the interest
a
which has always been felt by the inhabitants of this town
for faMily so long resident, so highly respected, and
who have been always so distinguished for their charitable
exertions and real benevolence, attracted a large concourse
of spectators. The children of the Brighton Orphan Asylum,
in whom the bride has always taken a lively interest, were
assembled in the churchyard to take a farewell look of their
youthful patroness, and strewed flowers in the path .of the
beautiful and accomplished bride. The ceremony over, the
party returned to Sussex-square, and being joined by a nu-
merena circle of friends, partook of an elegant 616jetiner a-la-
jourehette. At half-past one the happy pair took their leave,
and proceeded to Titness Park, Sunning hill, the seat of S.
Ricardo, Esq., where they intend

..... ETHER.—PAINLESS SURGICAL OPERATIONS AT THE
ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.-011 Saturday
afternoon,AF
Thomas Wakley, jun., Esq . surgeon to the Royalree Hospital,
performed a very difficult operation upon Miss
Sheen, aged 20 years, in presence of several medical
gentlemen connected with the charity. The ether having
been administered by Mr. T. W. Cooke, the houtOurgeon,
and inhaled a short time by the patient, a tum Our of a can-
cerous nature was removed front the right breast. On re-
covering from the effects of the vapour, the patient spoke
some incoherent sentences, and asked if some one had not
been pricking her with a pin ; and, on further coming round
observed that site would rather defer the operation. Her as-
tonishment upon finding it already effected may be readily
conceived.

CURIOUS DISCOVERY.—Last week, in one of the
shafts of the tunnel at Craigend, the workmen came upon a
considerable block if rock salt. Whether there is likely to
be a vein of that at ticle we have not yet learned, but some
hundred weights have been exc ,vated. We saw a specimen
which is very pure, and tastes lil4 pitre...Perthshire Courier.
