The marriage of the Honourable Colonel
SEYMOUR BATHURST (son of Earl BATHURST) with Miss
HANxEv, was solemnized yesterday morning in St.
George's Church, Hanover-square. The bride was given
away by her uncle, the LORD CHIEF BARON of the Ex-
CHEQUER. Numbers of the relatives and friends of the
parties were present at the ceremony ; among them were
the Duchess of RICHMOND, Earl BATIIURST, Sr; GEORGE
MURRAY, Lady JANE PEEL, Lady GEORGINA BATHURST,
&c. After the performance of the ceremony, the coin-
pany proceeded to the residence of Mr. Baron ALEX-
ANDER, ill Grosvenor-square, where a very handsome
dejeune was prepared. The new married couple after-
wards left town for the seat of Earl HARCOURT, at Nune-
ham, Oxfordshire.

THE CORPORATION.—We understand the
Master's report is made up, to which the Corporation has
filed upwards of 200 objections. The report, after allow-
ing for two miles of metal main pipe, laid down beyond
the original intention, and an allowance for some other
work done by the Corporation, brings them in debtors to
the citizens for upwards of 50,0001.—Dublin Morn. Reg.
STORIES OF WATERLOO._. A work that
premises to afford a rich treat to the general reader, and
particularly to the members of that profession to which it
more immediately relates, is on the eve of publication. It
is entitled " Stories of Waterloo," and is said to consist of
a succession of the most interesting narratives, illustrative
of the heroism, fortitude, and magnanimity of the British
soldier, under the most severe misfortunes and in the most
trying and painful situations.
We are requested to state that the following
new works will be published by Messrs. COLBURN and
BENTLEY, New Burlington-street, on Saturday next:—
l. The Private Correspondence of Dr. Doddridge, edited
by his great grandson, JOFIN DODDRIDGE HUMPIIREYS,
Esq. in 2 vols. Bvo. with Portrait-2. Travels in
ChaldNa, by Captain MIGNAN, including a Journey from
Bussorah to Bagdad, Hill and Babylon, performed on
font, with numerous curious illustrations, 1 vol. Svo. ;
and 3. Stories of Waterloo and other Tales, 3 vols.
post Bye.

The weather has become particularly cold in
London this week, and this forenoon we have been visited
by a heavy shower of snow, which melted as it fell.
A rich proprietor of the commune of Auriac,
named LAREYNERIE, was found murdered on the 30th of
August last. Strong su'picions have fallen on his only
son, M. ANTOINE LAREYNERIE, who was arrested on the
16th ult., and is fully committed on the charge of parricide.
It is:rumoured that Mr. MONTAGUE GORE,
nephew of Colonel GORE LANGTON (who represented
the county of Somerset in five Parliaments), will be a can
didate for that distinguished honour at the next election.—
Exeter Alfred.

It is in contemplation to erect a bridge over
the river Dart, at Dartmouth, the absence of which has
so long been a subject of regret. W. RENDEL, Esq. en-
gineer, has formed a design for the intended work, which
is to be laid before a meeting for promoting this desirable
object.—Exeter Alfred.
Faversham, Ospringe, and their suburbs, were
visited on Thursday last with a tremendous storm of
thunder and lightning, of long duration. The claps of
the former were amazingly loud, while the intense bril-
liancy of the lightning kept the atmosphere in one conti-
nual blaze. Just as the Union coach had reached the for-
mer town, the electric fluid struck a tree near the road
side, and, taking a longitudinal direction down the tree,
stripped off the minor branches in its course, until it
reached the roots, which were torn up, and the tree itself
boldly lifted from its position. We have heard of no other
damage.—Kent and Essex Mercury.
SERVICEABLE COA T.—A tailor of Leicester
repaired a coat last week which had been in wear for more
than fifty years ; and, notwithstanding the various muta-
tions which it had undergone in shape and colour, it will,
in all probability, still wear as long as its owner.
On Wednesday- last,' about three o'clock in
the afternoon, some villain or villains entered the dwelling-
house of Mr. WM. SEWARD, at Penn Farm, in the parish
of Ashton, about eight miles from Exeter, broke open two
boxes, and carried away between twenty and thirty pounds
in gold, notes, and silver; a-watch and some silver spoons
were removed from one of the boxes, and left o❑ the
window shelf. The whole of the family were harvesting
iu a field adjoing to the house, and of this circumstance
the perpetrator must have been aware; he is also supposed
to have been well acquainted with the premises —Exeter
Alfred.

About one o'clock in the morning of Friday
List, the sloop John and Hannah, of Padstow, G. NANcE,
master, when about 20 miles off the land, on her voyage
from Bristol, was run down by a brig, by which her main-
boom was carried away, and her quarter stove in. The
people on board the brig bailed after the accident, and de-
sired to know the name of the sloop ; but on being told
and requested to afford assistance, they proceeded on their
way, without further notice of the vessel, which for any
thing they knew was in a sinking state. It was only by
the greatest exertions that the sloop was kept afloat ; but
happily this was effected by nailing a tarpaulin under the
quarter, so as to check the leak, and enable them to reach
Padstow.— West Briton,

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.. On Monday morn-
ing, about eleven o'clock, a journeyman painter, named
JAMES A LSOP, was engaged in the upper loft of the pre-
mises of Messrs. APANnaEw and Son, the orange-mer-
chants, in Pudding-lane, Lower Thames-street, which is
nearly sixty feet high, in painting the crane, when he fell
into the road with such tremendous force that both his
legs were most frightfully fractured, and his collar-bone
dislocated. Many persons who saw him falling endeavour-
ed to break the force of the fill, but failed. The poor
sufferer was picked up and carried to Guy's Hospital,
where he now remains without the remotest hope of re-
covery. The unfortunate man has a wife and family de-
pending on him for support.

Hop-picking is going on rapidly in most parts
of East Kent. In some places it is completed, the hops
dried, and sent to market. Scanty as the crop is, we
recollect one or two occasions when the deficiency was
greater than we apprehend it will be this year. The in-
cessant rains have deteriorated the produce by washing
out much of their condition ; hence, together with the
immense quantities on hand, it is impossible a great price
can be attained. In our perambulations about Adisham
we observed one ground where the crop, calculated at 500
cwt. per acme, looked remarkably fine. This, no doubt,
equals the best plantations ; but, compared with former
years, it is a thin produce. —Kent and _Essex Mercury.
The Preventive Service have of late been very
busy on the coast in the apprehension of smugglers. One
respectable-looking man, on Sa-urday last, after under-
going examination before the East Kent Magistrates, was
committed to Maidstone gaol for a twelvemonth, in default
of paying a fine of 1001. to the King. It has of late ap-
peared a strange circumstance to the smugglers that their
time of landing should be known by the officers at the
blockade station. Alweys on the alert, they have ascer-
tained that at the depots in Dunkirk, &c., persons are sta-
tioned, who, immediately, the time of sailing and the des-
tination of the'vessel are known, write to agents in this
country, and the parties on the look-out are soon apprised
of the probable visiter..—Kent and Encl. Mercury.

The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND,
attended by the Countess of SCIILIPPENBACII and Miss
COOPER, left their residence in the King's Palace, St.
James's, yesterday afternoon, together with their suite, in
five carriages, for their residence at Kew, which has been
prepared for their Royal Highnesses' occupation. Prince
GEORGE rode on horseback to Kew, accompanied by Sir
GEORGE QUENTIN and Colonel TimaHroN. The
Duchess of RICHMOND had an interview with the Duchess
of CUMBERLAND, previous to her Royal Highness's depar-
ture from town.
