Some interesting archaeological di.scoveries have
just been made at the town of Vienne (France).
Among the most important are a Hercules, naked, in
bronze, with the skin of the Nemean lion thrown
over him, holding in the right hand a pasta, and in
the left a small cup. Another Hercules, rather
smaller, also with the skin of the Nemean lion, and
with a coat of mail like the Roman knights. A
small panther in repose, two little Mercuries in
bronze, one of whom has the caduceus in bronze.
Two knives for sacrifices, lamps, and fragments of
silver vases. All these articles are very ancient, and
the sculpture is remarkable for its splendid style of
execution.
The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has given
a very important decision in regard to wills.
It is to the effect that, according to article
970 of the Code Napoleon, although the date of a
will is a substantial formality of it, yet the place
where it is affixed is of no consequence, provided it
has an intimate connection with the testamentary
depositions, and is incorporated with them. Con-
sequently, where the date is incomplete in the will,
in consequence of the omission of the indication of
the month when it was made, it may be made
completely valid if that indication be affixed to
the envelope of the will, signed and dated by the
testator.
Among the various reports which agitate the
Bourse is that the Minister will propose to the
Chamber a loan, to provide for possible exigencies,
to a large amount—some 200 or 300 millions.
Another rumour is that an important manifesto is
in preparation by the Government respecting Ger-
many and Italy. I believe that both these rumours
may be traced to the imagination of Stock Ex-
change speculators.
The Court is abo4t to remove temporarily to St.

THIS DAY.
This morning being fixed for the marriage of her
Royal Highness Princess Mary Adelaide Wilhel-
mina Elizabeth of Cambridge with his Serene
Highness Francis Paul Charles Louis Alexander
Prince of Teck the usually quiet little village of
Kew presented a very animated appearance ; but,
in consequence of the close proximity of Cambridge
Cottage, the residence of the Duchess of Cam-
bridge and the bride, to St. Ann's Church, little
outward preparation was required, and beyond
the erection of an awning between the church
and cottage, a distance of about sixty
yards, and tiers of seats on either side of
it for the accommodation of the inhabitants of
Kew, nothing of an extensive nature had to be exe-
cuted. The inhabitants of the village, notwith-
standing that the ceremony was to be conducted in
the most simple and unostentatious manner, busied
themselves in a very pleasing manner in giving to
the place quite a holiday appearance. Flags and
flowers most profusely decorated the fronts of many
of the houses, and across the main ro ad leading towards
the bridge a triumphal arch was erected, the motto
selected being, " Bless the happy pair." There were
also a number of illumination devices in different
parts of the village, and doubtless at dusk this even-
ing, in the event of the weather remaining favour-
able, a most enlivening spectacle will present itself.
Notwithstanding that little could be seen without
the visitor had become possessed of a card of admis-
sion to either the seats erected across the green, or
to the church, a great number of persons visited
Kew in the hope of fortune favouring them with
the sight of something that might compensate them
for their trouble.
Within the church, although on Sunday last it
presented its ordinary appearance, a great change
had been effected. The space formerly occupied by
the pews, which had been removed, was covered
with crimson drugget, and in front of the commu-
nion table a rich carpet was spread, and at either
side of the aisle long rows of seats covered with
crimson silk and gold lace and fringe, and furnished
with brass separating arms, were placed in a line
with the two rows of pillars which support the
arched roof, thus leaving a broad walk, as it were,
from the church door to the communion rails.
About halt-past ten o'clock the doors of the
church were opened, and in a comparatively short
space of time the temporary seats were all occupied,
and altogether the interior presented a very ani-
mated appearance. Previous to the commencement
ui sue ueremonyi ner ntaiesiy, accompanied .ortne
Princesses Helena and Louise, arrived, and were
received by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge and Sir Thomas Biddulph to the spot pre-
pared for the royal illustrious visitors. The Queen
was attended by the Duchess of Wellington, as
Mistress of the Robes ; the Duchess Dowager of
Athole in Waiting ; and Lord Charles Fitzroy and
Colonel the Hon. Dudley de Ros as Equerries.
The Princess of Wales entered the church lean-
ing on the arm of the Duke Of Cambridge, and then
followed the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cam-
bridge, the Crown Prince of Denmark, the Grand
Duchess Dowager of Mecklenburgh, the Duke of
Edinburgh, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh,
the Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh and the Duchess
Caroline of Mecklenburgh.
Lieut.-Colonel Keppel and the Countess of
Macclesfield were in attendance on the Prince and
Princess of Wales ; the Hon. Eliot Yorke on his
Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh ; Count
D anneskj old on the Crown Prince of Denmark; Lady
Geraldine Somerset and Col. H. Purves on her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Cambridge ; Colonel the
Hon. J. Macdonald on the Duke of Cambridge ;
Lady Caroline Cust and M. Von Engel on the
Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz ;
and Mdlle. de Hochstetten and M. Von Steuber on
the Grand Duchess Dowager and the Duchess
Dowager and the Duchess Caroline of Meek-
leuburgh.
The procession of the bridegroom next arrived
from Cambridge Cottage, his Serene highness being
accompanied by his Excellency Count Apponyi, the
Ambassador of Austria, and attended by Baron
Varenbuhler and Count Wimpfen, to his place in
front of the altar. Next came the procession of the
bride, who was led by the Duke of Cambridge, and
attended, as bridesmaids, by Lady Cornelia Church-
hill, Lady Georgiana Hamilton, Lady Agneta Yorke,
and Lady Cecilia Molyneux.
The marriage ceremony was then performed by
the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the Lord
Bishop of Winchester and the Rev. P. W. Nott,
and at its conclusion the royal and distinguished
company were conducted from the church to Cam-
bridge Cottage, accompanied by her Majesty and
the-Royal family, where the parish register record-
ing the marriage was signed in the drawing-room
of the Cottage, and attested by the signature of
her Majesty as one of the witnesses.
A grand breakfast was afterwards given at
the cottage in two rooms. At the Queen's
table were her Majesty, Prince von Tech and
the Princess Mary, the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess
Helena, Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, the

Minister of the Interior had applied for a report on
the state of opinion in his department, answered
that everybody was opposed to war—the agricultu-
rists, because their children were taken from them ;
the traders, because nobody took their merchan-
dise ; the capitalists, financiers, and generally all
persons in easy circumstances, because all their
securities have fallen in value ; and lastly, those who
have but little, because they can find nobody to
lend them money."
BOURSE, June 11.—Two o'Clock.—Although
there is but a trifling amount of business doing,
quotations are firm at an advance on Saturday's
close. The cause of this temporary improvement,
however, is very clear, the amount of Stocks and
Shares oversold being so enormous that a few pur-
chases are sufficient to give a noticeable impetus to
prices. Threes are doing at 63f. 50c., with an ad-
vance of 400. Italian Fives have improved 10c., to
36f. 50c. Credit Mobilier have gained 2f. 50c., to
481 f. 25c ; Credit Foncier 7f. 50e., to 1,105 f..; and
Comptoir d'Escompte 10f., to 680 f. The Railway
Department has also progressed, Orleans and
Northern Shares having each advanced sf.—to
790 f. and 1,060 f. respectively. Lyons have im-
proved 7f. 50c., to 782 f. 50c. Austrian and Lom-
bard Shares are unvaried. " Discounting" has been
resumed on a tolerably extensive scale, the list to-
day comprising the following-446,500f. French
