A RECENT MARRIAGE AT ST. PETER'S, PIMLICO.
—On Saturday, June 13th, the R3v. F. K. Harford, of
Westminster, celebrated the marriage of his friend Capt.
Henry Carlton Ara mar. with Sarah Rosalie, widow of the
late Walter Stanbrough, Esq. The bride was given away
by Mr. Gustave Dore, also a friend of the bridegroom, why
enjoys the reputation abroad of a keen amateur of li era-
ture and fine art.

Another address from the Grand Orange Lodge
of Ireland, prepare l at its half-yearly meeting,
boasts of the large number of the nobility and
gentry, and " resolute young men," who have
lately joined the ranks of th 3 institution, and of
the " noble exhibition of Protestant life and
union" witnessed in many parts of the em-
pire. The address complains of the injustice
with which the Orange Society has been treated
by successive Governments, and the " perversion
of the laws to the manifest injury of Protestants
alone."

During last year over half a million of money—
£s4o,BB4 was transmitted to Ireland from
America by emigrants to their friends—.£2o2,9l4
of the sum being in the form of prepaid passage
orders.

A letter from Warsaw, in the Posen Journal, says:
—" The sudden disappearance of M. Kletchewsky,
editor of the Sunday Courier, with his family, has
caused some sensation here. The cause of his flight
is singular. He had married a Russian lady belong.
ing to the Greek Orthodok Church, and-the religious
ceremony was performed according to the Catholic
rite. By the le,..:islation of Russia such marriages
should be solemnised at the Greek Church, under
the penalty of banishment to Siberia. The police
having heard of the affair opened an inquiry, and
M. Kletchewsky, fearing the consequences of his
infraction of the law, left the country with his
household."
RECREATION FOR THE MILLION.—A correspon-
dent writes to us:--There are appeals in the papers for
aid to take out for a day such of the poor of our city as
" have not seen a field for years." If distance prevents it,
the longest day this year will fall on a Sunday (21st inst.)
and an early start then would give them the whole coun-
try by suu-rise. The Coronation Day will also fall on a
Sunday (28thinst.); many like to observe it, and observe
it well they might by enjoyment of the cAintry. And if
they wish to attend church or chapel on the way there is
always a kindly welcome in the country„ Tbis want of
recreation has a very depressing iufluence.and injures
many a social movemnt in lown,'many seeming dead to
everything but drink through it.

What will the Lords do, anxiously asks the Post, as
regards the questions which are to be solved by an appeal
to the constituencies? Will they decide, as they may, to
postpone the consideration of the Suspensory Bill for six
months? It is not a very momentous matter. Six months
hence such a measure will not be required. Within that
race of time a bill proposing to give effect-definitively to
T.lr. Gladstone's resolutions will probably be presented
to the Lords. Now, therefore, it is for them to ponder
what they will do if the verdict of the country is recorded
against the Irish Church Establishment. Will they shape
their course in accordance with the opinion which.may
be expressed in the forthcoming election ? The new House
of Commons may not pass a bill subjecting the nation to
" the tyranny of railway directors ;" but what if, not-
withstanding its " breadth of basis," it should be no
more attached than its predecessor to " the great
principle of Protestantism ? ' It is not an answer to declare,
however emphatically, that it would be utter folly for the
peers to surrender their functions with the contingency in
view. No one is dreaming of a surrender of the functions
of the House of Lords. But, then, it is se e•ed that the
House will hereafter have duties to perform of greater im-
portance than ever. The constitutional check is likely
to be more necessary. Does it become the Government—
or the supporters of the Government-- to talk in this sense?
Who, by their own showing, is responsible for the
" breadth of basis?" Who educated Parliament to legis-
late upon expectations which it is at length admitted may
not be realised? The logic of politics permits not of equivo-
cation. it is not in the moral competence of a Govern-
ment to play fast and loose with its .professions. The
constituencies have been enlarged, and the rights of
voting extended, not to strengthen " the great
principle of Protestantism," but in order to re-
frame the constitution by enfranchising ra'epaying house-
hullers, lowering the suffrage, and changing the principle
of parliamentary representation. The " breadth of
basis" has been secured, if at all, as it always must be, at
the erpense of the branch of the Legislature which inter
poses between the Crown and the representat'ves of the
people. Practically, the power of the House of Lords
will be less next year than it was thirty-six years ago.
What the peers may compass in the immediate future,
must consist in the prevention of hasty, uninstructed
legislation. They must bend their will to the will of the
people, but they may insist in point of duty that the
Country be fairly consulted.

The Herald believes that General Grant will be the
i:e::t Pre,ident of the United States. The General is likely
to be guided by his own sense of duty rather than by the
dictation of his party, and will be strong enough,-proba7
bly, rather to rule than to be ruled by them. He will not
owe his place to them, but they their victory to him. And
it is hardly likely that they will again have that over•
whelnung majority in ConL ress which has enabled them
to overbear President Johnson ; or that if they had,
they would dare to use it against a man who would
never lay himself open to attack by imprudent speeches,
ivho knows when to hold his tongue, and who would be
I:kely, if forced at last into open collision, to have the
people on his side. General Grant will be more powerful
than his predecessor ; and will probably restore to the
executive all the prestige, ascendancy, and authority of
which it has been robbed during the incumbency of Mr.
Johnson. He will, the Herald trusts, be equally disposed
to use his power for the protection of the gallant and un-
happy people for whose subjection he, above all men, is
responsible ; and for his own credit, as well as from the
natural generosity of a soldier, he will be desirous to sig,
valise his term of office by the restoration of confidence,
security, and liberty of the unfortunate states of the
South.

The Daily IV CIC3 says Mr. Longfellow's presence in Eng.
land is an event which deserves far more than the passing
notice which has been given it. As the most popular re•
presentative of American literature, Lis visit affords
another opportunity for the exercise of that internationa
eourtosy and hospitality by which the literary relations of
the two countries have hitherto been harmonised
The splendid reception given to Mr. Dickens during
his late visit t., the United States has itself laid
the literature of England under an obligatfon of
hospitality which we *should not lie slow to recognisE
and discharge, even bad we no higher motive in endeavour
jug to reciprocate the friendship of a kindred nation. But
such h'ispitalities forcibly remind us of our kinship. Just
AS Mr. Dickens was recognised by the Americans as
belonging to them, so Mr. Longfellow is claimed by us as
one of the great writers of our common English tongue.
Ire represents among us something more even than
American literature, for he represents that community off
faith am' feeling, of tradition Ana of language, whirl:
makes it impossible that the literature of the one country
;should ever be foreign to the other.
That " the dead-leek continues " is now, the Sefundarci
oetes, a stereotyped item in every telegram from Victoria.
The appetite for that energetic voung colony for dead
locks is apparently insatiable. The deadlock has noms
coetinued for conic seven 'or eight months without inter.
iniseien, and the crisis of which the "dead-lock" is simply
tee climax has virteady endured for about three years.
During all this time there has prevailed a kind of
provisional government in Victoria, up-in whir;
the coming and going of governors seem to have producer
sin sort of effect. The very thin rein with which we pro
foss to keep the Australian colonies seems in the case of
Victoria to have been utterly powerless to check or tc
control the actions of the local democracy. There is al
present no visible sign, indeed y
of an connection between
the British empire and the colony of Victoria ; and for
all -the honour ar advantkee which either we or they
derive from the union the " painter" might have bees
cut three years ago. The action of the Imperial Govern
ment is altogether imperceptible in the working of the
.colonial system. I communications between the
colonial Office and the Governor in Melbourne are indeed
regularly maintained, but apparently they serve only to
embitter the local controversy. We have done everything
on our side which advice and remonstrance can do ; but
both advice and remonstrance are thrown away upon the
majority who presently direct the affairs of Victoria.
They are in possession of the power, and they see no
'reason why they should not use it—law or no law. The
ci nation remains unchanged, and the crisis continues
alwey4. The maierity of the Assembly have resolved,
net only that Sir Charles Darling shall have his money,
bat that he shall have it in a manner most offensive to the
-Imperial authorities and most injurious totlteutiallep nect
Ilonse. And they have made up their minds
Government shall be permitted to exist, except the Govern,
meet ef Mr. Maccullech, which began the contest, and
which is bound to continue it.

DAMAGES ron FALSE IMEEISONMENL—In the Exchequer
Court the case of Stebbings v. the Great Eastern Railway
Company was decided. This was an action for false
imprisonment. The plaintiff is a gentleman well known
in sporting circles, and was charged by the defendants'
servants with travelling in a first class carriage, having
paid for a second-class ticket. Upon inquiry, the defen-
dants found they had been mistaken, and submitted
to a verdict in favour of Mr. Stebbing, with £5O
&singes.
MADAME RACHEL AND HER DEFENCE. —At Marlborough.
street Police-court, Mr. Edward Lewis replied to the
statement made by Madame Rachel on Monday relative
to the mode in which her business had been conducted
while the case was in his hands. Mr. Froggatt also ex-
plained how he had become connected with the case, and
denied that Mr. Harper, his clerk, had called on Madame
Rachel and offered his services to her. His client had
employed him before, and on this occasion she came to
him spontaneously. Mr. Breton, of the firm of Messrs.
E. Lewis and Co., then referred to a statement that Mr.
Russell, his clerk, had gone to Madame Rachel, told her
there was a warrant out against her, and said that if
she would give him £2OO be would settle the business for
her.

STABBING A IlusBAND.—At Westminster Police-court,
Elizabeth Nonie was charged with the above named
offence. The prosecutor was met by a policeman bleeding
fearfully, and on being interrogated he said that
Ms wife had clone it. The prisoner simply said,
that it would let a little of his mad blood out. " I did not
stab him till be tried to cut my throat." The constable
said there was one wound upon the band, one on the
arm, and one in the chest. In answer to Mr.
Arnold, the prisoner made a statement, but it was
to the same effect as that given to the constable. She
was remanded for a week ; bail, however, was taken.

AN Imsu BREACH OF rRO3HaE CAsE.—ln the Dublin
Court of Exchequer, the case of Dowden v. Kehoe has
been decided. It was an action for a breach of promise of
marriage. Damages were laid at 5.,',)00. The parties re-
side in the county of Wicklow. The defendant is a
farmer. Ire pleaded a traverse of the promise, and also that
he was mad. He had since married. Mr. Dowse, C.C.,
stated the plaintiff's case. Peter Walsh stated that the plain-
tiff, one evening returning from a fair, said lie intended to
marry the girl, and asked the witness would her uncle
give her any money. Anne Kehoe said she knew the
plaintiff and defendant. She asked the defendant when
he intended to give them a spree, and he said be intended
to marry Miss Dowden. Was present. when defendant said
that. Ire since married another girl named Doyle. The
uncle of the plaintiff, in cross-examination, admitted that
the defendant had been in a lunatic asylum. 'The judge
held that, according to the evidence, there had been no
promise to marry, and the jury returned a verdict to that
effect.

TEE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT
Ssaroan.—On Tuesday, at the Salford Police-court,
Thomas Donoghue was charged with the wilful murder of
his wife, on the 20th ult. The facts of the case were given
at some length at the time of the inquest, when the
prisoner was committed for trial. The deceased, who had
left her husband several times previously, was in bed when
her husband, after having previously partaken freely of
whisky, dragged her out of bed and inflicted fatal stabs on
her chest ; after which he attempted self-destruction. The
prisoner, who confessel the crime, was commited for trial
by the magistrates.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday week, as
eomemen were fishing off Hartlepool, they discovered some-
thing floating in the sea. The boat was pulled towards the
object, and it was found to be a horse with a light spring
cart attached. The animal was alive, but died shortl3
aftefwards. The most astonishing circumstance is that
on the previous day the animal had gone into the sea
at a place called Seaton Snook, where its owner had left
it for a short time while be gathered a few cockles. It

. -
had thus swam for about ten hours, and was seen tei
miles from where it took the water. The horse belongei:
to a fish•curcr, named Jacob Cox, residing at Wcsl
Ila•:tlepool, who is a poor man, and gains his livelihooc
by means of his horse and cart.— York Herald.

Nov EL ACCIDENT. —An extraordinary accident.
happily unattended with more serious consequences than
the destruction of a few tuns of spirits and the demolition of
one of the handsomest shop-fronts in the south of London,
has occurred at Findlater's-corner, London Bridge. A single-
horse van, heavily laden with bales of wool,having slipped tlu
wheel skid on the Borough incline, the horse lost all power
over its load, and was forced violently down the bill, across
the footway, through the shop-front of Messrs. Findlater.

A large crowd assembled outside the building, but dis-

some of the animals bad broken 1003 e, and were engaged
in deadly combat. The facts of the case, as subsequently
ascertained, were, flint the female elephant, Empress, broke
loose from her chain and attacked a cage in which were
four lions of consiCerable size. The li4;ns returned the
attack with energy, the noise of their roaring arousing the
rage or terror of the other beasts. On the arrival of Mr.
Rice with the keepers the combatants were with difficulty
separated, not until one Qf the attendants received a
severe scalp wound from one of the infuriated lions, from
which, however, no danger is apprehended. When tran-
