MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--Yesterday, at St.
Peter's, Eaton-square, the Hon. Hayes St. Leger, only son
and heir of Viscount Doneraile, led to the hymeneal altar
the beautiful daughter of Mr. Lenox Conyngham. The
bridal party arrived at the church shortly after eleven
o'clock, the bride being attended by a train of youthful
bridesmaids, among whom were the Lady Elizabeth l3utler,
Miss Elliott, Miss Greville, and Miss Burnaby. The bride
was given away by her father, and at the conclusion of the
ceremony the party repaired to the residence of the bride's
father in Eaton-place, where a handsome dejeunee was served
to a select party of friends of both families. Early in the
afternoon the newly-wedded pair left town for Salt-hill,
whence they go to Doneraile-house, county Cork, to pass
the honeymoon.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] -- Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, a most excellent remedy for Abscesses and Old Wounds.
—Thomas Edwards, a labourer in Portsmouth Dockyard, re-
ceived a severe hurt in his thigh, about four years back, by a
piece of timber falling on him. An abscess formed in conse-
quence of the injury, which defied the most eminent surgeons
to heal, and he was consequently pronounced incurable, and
put on the superannuated list with a pension. Being now at
liberty to try other remedies, ho commenced using Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, which have so effectually cured him that
he enjoys good health, and is as well able to work as any man.

BRITISH ARCHISSOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. Oa
Monday evening the eighth annual meeting of this associa-
tion commenced at Derby, and was tolerably well attended.
Among those present, besides Sir Oswald Mosley, the presie
dent for the year, were the Mayor of Derby, James Heywood,
Esq., Dr. John Lee, Rear-Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon,
K.C.H., Sir Fortunatus Dsvarris, T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., H.
Stevens, Esq., &c. The president, in his inaugural adress,
after some introductory observations on the interesting nature
of archaeological pursuits, related some curious circumstances
regarding Derbyshire, from the time of the ancient Britons,
when it formed part of an immense forest, to modern times,
when it was the scene of the establishment of silk manufac-
ture, in 1717, by the ingenious but ill-fated ,mechanic John
Lombe—of the desperate invasion of England by Charles
Edward, in 1745 (the house in which be took up his head-
quarters remains to this day, in much the same state as it
then was) —and, finally, of the first idea of the Crystal
Palace, " conceived by the mind of Paxton, and executed
by the hand of Fox." The speech was well received, and
called forth a cordial vote of thanks from the meeting. The
treasurer (Mr. Pettigrew) then read a paper entitled "Cur-
sory Remarks on Antiquities ;" and the proceedings closed
With several interesting lectures—one delivered by Mr.
Planthe on the " Armorial Bearings of the Earls de Ferrers ;"
another "On the Local Laws, Courts, and Customs of
Derbyshire," by Sir Fortunatus Dwarris ; and the last dis-
course consisted of " Extracts from Church Registers, and
some Municipal Notices of Derby," prepared by Mr. T. S.
Reed.

THE HERRING FISHERY IN THE NORTH.—The
Wick herring fishery has not been so prosperous last week,
the rough weather having seriously retarded its progress ; 30
cargoes have, however, teen shipped for Stettin. At Dunbar
the fishing is still continuing very successful, and the prices
are now such that the home curers have made abeginning.
Indeed the take is such that it would be nearly impossible to
get the whole rent away in a green state.
It is calculated
that there are sixty merchants purchasing for immediate
use. Selling price, 9s. to 10s. a cran.

SOCIETY.
The second annual meeting was held last evening
at the Perthenium-rooma, St. Martin's-lane ; P. E.
Barnes, Esq., in the chair. A letter was read from
George Thompson, Esq., M.P. (one of the trustees),
regretting his inability to attend. Mr. G. Haggett,
the secretary, read the annual report of the committee,
of which the following is an extract :
" The committee submit to the members a report
of the society, and in so doing they have much plea-
sure in bring again enabled to present a favourable
account of its condition. I.s progress is best marked
by the increase of its members. The number of shares
now held is 1,340, inclusive of those taken up on the
Moulsey estate, and the total receipts of the society
since its formation amount to 7,9681. is. 61 Im-
pressed with the magnitude of the interests committed
to their care the committee have persevered in the
course which received ti.e approbation of the mem-
bers at their first annual meeting, they :have ac-
coruingly bent their efforts, not to merely nume-
rous and rapid purchases of estates, but to the
acquisition of uequestionable good ones, such
es should sustain the credit el. the society,
by the undoubted value of each of the particulat
allotments. Of the many offers made, the committee
have thought it expedient to accept only one, namely,
for the purchase of '24 acres at Reigate (where there
are a large number of members), at the price of
3,0001. This estate will be allotted in the course of
the present autumn. Your committee are now in
treaty for an estate in Middlesex, in a loeality suited
to the requirements of many of their members. A.s
to the estate at East Moulsey, the committee have to
report that the division of it has been completed in
the most satisfactory manner, and several houses are
in course of erection, the restrictions which they in-
troduced into the conveyances have met with entire
approbation, and have most materially enhanced the
value of the property, and the committee have the
gratification of pointing to this purchase as an ample
testimony of the correctness of the principles adopted
by the society. The land was bought for the sum of
4,7251., and it has been distributed to the allottees
at 5,5821., or about 17 per cent., inclusive of all
expenses, while in some other societies the increase
on the original cost had been nearly 100 per cent,
or at the same rate at which estates of such other so-
cieties had been allotted. The Moulsey property
would have cost the allottees nearly 12,0001., instead
of 5,8001. No charge has.been made to the mortgag-
ing members for interest on the money advanced to
them, except the very trifling amount of interest on
any mum temporarily borrowed to complete a pur-
chase, while being put into immediate pcsaession of
their allotments they are placed in a position of reap-
ing the earliest advantages of which their treeholas
are capable. The committee feel it incumbent to re-
cord their deep sense of the invaluable services ren-
dered to the society by the Land Committee, to
whose practical experience may be attributed the
advantageous purchases already made, and
their acknowledgment, are specially due to
Messrs. Vine and Pemberton, the purchasers on be-
half of the society, for the gratuitous superin-
tendebce and indefatigable att.ntion given by them
to the society ; and thrcugh their aid the expense of
allotting the Moulsey estate is less by some 2001. than
it would otherwise have been. With regard to the
constitutional and political results of the East Meal-
sey and Reigate estates, the committee may observe
that 140 additional freeholders will have votes for the
western division, and about 130 for the eastern divi-
sion. Already the names of 50 new freeholders ap-
pear on the list of voters for the former electoral dis-
trict, and the Reigate purchase, in addition to its
being one of the most eligible building sites in the
county, is within the boundary of the borough, which
comprises about 200 votes, occupying houses chiefly
in the hands of one landlord, while the occupiers of
the allotments of the members will be independent
of similar influence. The committee recommend
the following alteration in the rules—' That of
the number of allotments in every future purchase,
portion, not exceeding one-half, shall be offered to
members (according to seniority of membership) who
shall agre" to pay up the whole cost of their allot-
ments, together with a charge of five per cent. on the
amount of such cost to be applied towards the defrayal
of the general expenses of this society ; and the re-
maining allotments shall be exclusively devoted to the
other members in rotation, all parties jointly balloting
for priority of choice.'—The effect of this alteration
will Le to enable the society to purchase whenever a
desirable opportunity offers, and consequently to expe-
dite the subscribing members obtaining their allotment.
In advising this step the committee have sought to
avoid what they conceive to be a most objection-
able element, namely, the practice of bailotting fot
allotments, the tendency of which is to induce re-
liance upon chance and not upon the prudence and
forethought of the members. The committee cannot
conclude their report without adding their own
testimony to that already borne by tbo members in
their re-election of the solicitor and the secretary at
the last meeting to the untiring zeal and very great
ability with which Mr. G. E. Deane, and Mr. G.
liuggett, the gentlemen who respectively fill these
offices, have discharged their highly important
duties."

The report was unanimously adopted, the altera.
Lion in the rules cgrecd to, and a vote of thanks to
the chairman cloud the proceedings.

THE AMERICAS PRINTER.—" I pity the printer,"
said my uncle, Toby. "He's a poor creature,' rejoined
Trim. "How so ?" said my uncle. "Because, in the first
place," continued the corporal, looking full upon my uncle,
"he must endeavour to please everybody. In the negli-
gence of a moment, perhaps, a small paragraph pops upon
him. He hastily throws it to the compositor; it is inserted, and
he is ruined to all intents and purposes." " Too much
the case Trim," said my uncle, with a deep sigh; " too much
the case." " And please your honour," continued Trim,
elevating his voice, and striking into an imloring attitude,
" this is not the whole." "Go on, Trim," said my uncle,
feelingly. " The printer sometimes," pursued the cerpor-
ral, " hits upon a piece that pleases mightily, and he
thinks that it cannot but go down with his subscribers.
But, alas ! Sir, who can calculate the human mind? He
inserts it, and it is all over with him. They forgive others,
but they cannot forgive a printer. He has a host to print
for, and every one sets up for a critic. The pretty Miss
exclaims, ' Why don't he give us more poetry, marriages,
and ben mots '—away with these stale pieces-2 The poli•
tician claps his specs on nose, and reads it over in Muth
of a violent invective; lie finds none, takes his specs off,
folds them, sticks them in his pocket, declaring the paper
good for nothing but to burn. So it goes. Every one
thinks it ought to be printed expressly for him as a sub.
scriber ; and yet. after all this complaining, would you be-
lieve it, Sir," said the corporal, clasping his hands beseech-
ingly, " would you believe it, Sir, there are Some sub-
scribers who do not hesitate
.to cheat the printer out of his
pay?"—American Paper.
