The lionne of the Drawing Room was decidedly
Lady Crampton, better known in England as Aldlle. Vic-
toire Balfe. Her ladyship, in right of her husband's high
diplomatic rank, had the privilege of the entree—a privilege
for which peeresses of the highest rank often sigh in vain.
In the absence of Lady John Russell, 'Viscountess Pal-
merston presented the charming bride to the Qtrien. Lady
Crampton was dressed all in white; a train of white moire,
and a petticoat of white tulle, ornamented with bouquets of
white flowers ; a diamond ornament at her waist, a diamond
and turquoise ornament on a band of velvet round the
throat, and a crescent-shaped diamond ornament on her
forehead. These were the salient points of a simple but
effective costume.—court Journal.
THE VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS' REVIEW.—Five
hundred effective members of the Nottingham rifle corps,
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Crawford, will
be present at the review in Hyde-park on Saturday next.
Three battalion drills of the entire corps are being per-
formed this week, the second of which took place yesterday
evening at the Trent-bridge cricket ground. The appear-
ance of the men is very soldier-like, and the skill with
which they go through their evolutions excites the adrui •
ration of experienced military men.

sioners appointed to inquire into the alleged grievances of
certain of the employes in the Post-office restmed Lair duties

Tho whole of the statements of the men in support of their
memorials having been heard, the commissioners to-
day proceeded to receive the testimony of witnesses on the
other side. It is expected that several days will be occu-
pied in thus testing the previous statements, the evidence
in connection with which is very voluminous, that part of
the sittings having lasted nine days.

an umbrella outside ?" Thompson—" No, my lord I"

inside I"—Poneh.
SUICIDE OF A LADY NEAR LIVERPOOL—The
county coroner (Mr. Churton) held an inquest at the New
Ferry Inn, near Rockferr. ,v on Tuesday, on the body of a
lady, Mrs. Elizabeth H. Neild, who committed suicide on
the previous Thursday by drowning herself in the Mersey,
near Branabro'-pool. It appeared from the evidence ad-
duced that she'had not been in good health some time pre-
viously, and that she had frequently threatened to drown
herself. She was the wife of Mr. Henry Neild, of Ashton-
under-Lyne, and had recently been living with her father,
at Fort View, Egremont, on the Cheshire side of the Mer-
sey. For the last 18 months her mind had been somewhat
affected, and it was thought that change of air would re-
store her. The body was found early on Tuesday morning
in a sandholo on the beach, between Brambro'-pool and
New Ferry. The verdict was that the deceased had
drowned herself while temporarily insane.
