MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.

The marriage of Lord Prudhoe, brother of the
Duke of Northumberland, with Lady Eleanor Gros-
venor, eldest daughter of Earl Grosvenor, and that of
Lord Parker, eldest son of the Earl of Macclesfield,
with the Lady Mary Grosvenor, second daughter of
the Earl of Grosvenor, were solemnised yesterday at
St. George's, Hanover-square, shortly before twelve
o'clock.
The ceremony was performed by his Grace the
Archbishop of York, in the presence of a noble and
distinguished circle, consisting of the intimate friends
and relations of the noble families of Percy, Grosvenor,
and Parker.
The bridesmaids were—Lady Caroline Grosvenor,
Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor, Miss Percy, and Miss
Williams Wynn.
Amongst those who were present at the ceremony
we observed—

The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis and
Marchioness of We3tininster, the Earl and Countess
Grosvenor, Viscount Balgrave, Lady Elizabeth and
Caroline Grosvenor, Earl of Wilton, Lord Auckland
and the Hon. Misses Eden, General and Mrs. Gros-
venor, Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Earl
and Countess of Beverley, Lady Agnes Buller,
Dowager Countess of Ashburnham, Sir Watkins
Williams Wynn, Bart., Miss Williams Wynn, Miss
Percy, Earl and Countess of Macclesfield, Lady
Louisa Parker, Earl and Countess of Antrim, Miss
Georgiana Harcourt, Lady Mary F. Howard, Mr.
Edward Drummond, Miss Drummond, Sir Wil-
loughby Gordon, Sir H. llardinge, Lord and Lady
Robert Grosvenor, the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville,
the Rev. Dr. Bull, Lady Louisa Percy, the lion.
Captain Percy, the Hon. Mr. Drax Grosvenor, the
Dowager Countess of Antrim, Viscount Ebrington,
and Mr. and Lady Emily Drummond.
At the conclusion of the ceremony Lord and Lady
Prudhoe took their departure for Sion House, where
they intend to pass the honeymoon.
Shortly after two o'clock a very numerous circle
assembled at Grosvenor House (the Marquis of West-
minster's), where a sumptuous dejeuner was-given by
the Marquis and Marchioness,.to.celebrate-the nuptialp
of their granddaughters. ,
In the course of the dejeuner the-Duke-of North-
umberland rose, and expressed his gratification at
the alliance which had taken place between the Percy
and the Grosvenor families, and concluded, after a
brief but very appropriate address, by proposing
"The healths of the happy brides and bridegrooms.'
Earl Grosvenor replied.
The Duke of Northumberland then proposed
" The health of the Duke of Wellington."
The Duke of Wellington acknowledged the toast
in a brief speech, and ended by giving "The healths
of the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster."
The Marquis of Westminster, in answer to the
Noble and Gallant Duke's toast, remarked that it
gave him infinite pleaiiire to have had the Noble
Duke's company on that very interesting occasion,
and the favour conferred could not otherwise than be
appreciated, when it was known to them all, that the
Duke had come expressly to town from Walmer
Castle to be present at the nuptials.
The party shortly afterwards broke up.
Lord and Lady Parker left town early in the after-
noon for Moore Park, the seat of the Marquis of
Westminster, near Rickmansworth, Herts.
The rejoicings at Isle Worth and Brentford yester-
day, in celebration of the marriage of Lord and Lady
Prudhoe, were on an extensive and very liberal scale..
The rchbishop of York was unable to be present
at the dejeuner given by the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Westminster, urgent business calling his
Grace from town. His Grace left the metropolis by
railroad, for, we believe; Bishopsthorpe, as early as
two o'clock.

GRAND ROWING MATCHES
AT ISLEWORTH.
Two great matches, distinct in themselves, but
rowed at the same time, and on the same reach of
water, were contested yeAerday, at Isleworth, both in
honour of an event which had taken place that morn-
ing—the marriage of the Right Hon. Lord Prudhoe
(brother of the Duke of Northumberland) to Lady
Eleanor Grosvenor. The first match in honour of
this event, which appeared to have been a subject of
general rejoicing, was for a new wherry and other
prizes; given by s Grace the Duke of Northumber•
land, to be rowed for by nine pairs of sculls, in four
heats, amongst the following watermen of Isleworth :
First Heat.—William Mariner, green ; Richard
Neale; red stripe ; and William Temins, jun., red.
Secinid Heat.—Richard Munday, pink ; William
Turner, blue Whapshot, purple.
Third Heat.—Thomas Shearman, yellow ; John
Whapshot, blue stripe ; and Charles Smith, white.
These nine started in the order above given, the
winner of each of these heats being entitled to row in
the grand match, thus constituting four threes, a style
of managing a wager novel, but good. The distance,
was from a short distance above Isleworth Church
ferry, down round a boat moored off Sion meadows,
up the Isleworth side of the Ait, round a boat moored
off the Marquis of Ailsa's, down the Surrey shore,
and finish at the Sion pavilion.
The first heat was won by red, the second by blue,
and the third by white.
At six these three were at the buoys to dispute the
grand heat, and a beautiful race was the result. They
were altogether from the moment of starting until
the coming in. Turner had taken the lead by a boat
or so in the beginning, and won by half a length.
The second match was rowed, as we have before
said, at the same time, and over the same course, with
watermen from the locality of Richmond, Brentford,
&c., and was for a purse given by the Right Hon.
Lord Prudhoe, to be decided under a precisely similar
arrangement to the other. A separate galley, how-
ever, was called into requisition to manage this, and
distinct managers.
The following were the competitors :
First Heat—George Redknap, Twickenham, red;
.Joserh Hammertoe, Twickenham, white ; John Platt,
Twickenham, blue,
Second Heat—William Bell, Richmond, red ;
George Borley, Richmond, white; William New,
Richmond, blue.
• Third Heat—Williain Thomas, Isleworth, red ;
James Rutter, Brentford,
,white ; William Barker,
ICew, blue.
The heats were all well contested. Platt won the
first heat, Borley the second, and Barker the third.
The men having refreshed, again drew for colours;
and went to their stations. Platt took the lead and
retained it throughout, winning by half a length or
so. The wherry, which was very handsome, was
built by Cownden and Wentzell, of London. The
Eclipse and Richmond, which had been engaged for
the accommodation of the company, were heavily
laden, and the sport appeared to give great satisfaction.

HE& MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—The Lord
Mayor, feeling anxious to pay every dutiful respect to
her Majesty in her progress to Scotland by water, made
an early application to the Secretary of State, requesting
to be favoured with an intimation from what place and
when her Majesty would be pleased to embark, that he
might be in attendance to escort her Majesty throughout
his jurisdiction, as Conservator of the River Thames, and
adopt measures to make suitable preparations for this
purpose, in accordance. with the proceedings which took
place in the Mayoralty of Alderman Magnay, in the
year 1822, when his .late Majesty King George the
Fourth went to and returned from Scotland, and in the
Mayoralty of Mr. Alderman Farebrother, in the year
1835, when her Majesty the Queen Dowager proceeded
to the Continent, upon a visit to her relatives, and upon
her return ; and his .Lordship has subsequently been
favoured with a communication from Sir James Graham,
conveying her Majesty's commands to inform his Lord
ship that the time of her Majesty's departure was not yet
definitely fixed ; that her Majesty would embark from
the Royal Dockyard at Woolwich ; and that it was her
pleasure that all ceremonies connected with the conser-
vancy of the River Thames should be dispensed with on
the occasion. The Lord Mayor has given directions to
Capt. Fisher, the Principal Ilarbour-Master of the Port
of London, to be in attendance at Woolwich during her
Majesty's embarkation, and to afford every facility fur
the same.

Tun QUEEN'S VISIT.-A report prevailed a day or
two ago that her Majesty's intention of visiting Scotland
had been abandoned for the present ; but how it arose
we cannot tell, unless from an apprehension that the dis-
turbed state of England might render her visit at the pre-
sent time inexpedient. At all events it seems to have
been without foundation, as the preparations for her de-
parture, as well as for her reception north of the Tat cd
have suffered no interruption. The illumination, it is
supposed, will take place on Wednesday, the day of her
Majesty's arrival, when the town will in all probability
be most thronged with visitors. The eagerness of the
public to obtain a sight of her Majesty may be seen in
the fact that, notwithstanding the doubts which exist re-
specting her Majesty's visit to the High Church on Sun-
day, all the sittings in that place of worship have been
let.—Edinburgh Paper.
Mr. harry Monk, formerly a performer of Sallie
celebrity at the Old Royalty and the surrey Theatres,
departed this life on the 18th. Por many years he had
lost the use of his limbs,. and his sufferings were of the
'most acute description, but they were borne with Chris-
tian fortitude and resignation.

TO THE EDITOR•OF S N 1 4
Stit,-11 must.sometimes speak, though it .is
seldom I do so publicly ; but had Ta thousand tOillen
the crying abuses of these Tory. times would find W.-
fieient discourse for the whole. England is no longer
F.:ng!and. She has proved consumptive; her boasted
Constitution is fast approaching dissolution ; her li-
berty is infringed and shackled; and even her public
highways are no longer free to.the sons of Britain. I
declare that I never felt disaffeetioa towards the Go-
vernment until this night. But when I see my poor
fellow-countrymen cut down by , a military police,
and trampled upon as dirt; when I see helpless women
and children crying in pitiable distress, and in mapy
instances covered with blood (for such I saw at Ken-
nington), I would ask is it not enough to produce
rebellious thoughts ? I read of a Prince of the
Royal blood eager to embrue his hands in that of Ys.
own countrymen, and a pampered police taunting the
poor oppressed people with—" Come on, ye devih,
we ar: ready for you," actually aggravating rebellicD
by jeering language to show their courage. Oh, brave
Prince! oh, brave police! eager for laurels, and ready
to earn them by heroically fighting a famishing po-
pulation ; women and children, no matter who, any-
thing to show your ardour. Trample a few mere
helpless mortals under your hor,oes' hoofs, and most
assuredly sow the seeds of future disturbances, which
may not be quelled so easily .us that of 1842 !
A POOR MAN, BUT NO CHARTIST.

TO.THE EDITOR OT THE SUN

was very much surprised to see- what little
notice the Press took of the conduct of the police on
Kennington-common—and, in fact, up the road as
well—which I am at a loss to know the reason ; it
has never (that I have seen) been brought before the
public. I never saw such treatment-that unoffending
men, women, and children met with, not only on the
common and the road, but I actually saw the mounted
police on the pavement, which is near a foot highcr
than the road, driving the people off; and many of
your readers well know the public-house (I forget
the name of it) that stands back some few yards front
the road, and there were many people there, with
seats for them to sit down, WA one of the mounted
police, who came' cantering—not walking—his hors:l
along the footpath, rode into that space, and turned
the people out. Now, I should like to know what,
right he had on the footpath at all with his horse, and
a long sword dangling at his side, knocking against
the people that were not quick enough to get out of
his way: I should like to know who he was; some
called. him "White-headed Bob;' but perhaps it wa
consequential Mr.' Mallalieu, as I saw by the paper,
that he was there ; and a friend of mine, who I stood
with, heard him give the men directions to clear the
corners of the streets ; and after:they had done enough.
mischief, and caused all the disturbance to many-re-
spectable persons who were only going home from
their work, he said they-were to let all respect:ll,l,:•
Looking persons go by, but all -blackguard-lookinF
:persons they were to -send back. Now, it quite
evident that he termed all men that were dressed in
their working clothes blackguard-looking persons, be-
cause they set upon them in right earnest, not knowing
whether they were merely going home, or whether
they were at all connected with the meeting ; and if
Sir James Graham don't cause inquiry to be made
into it at once, and that made public, we shall sce..
the next chance they get, they will ,wliow off more,
and there is no telling the consequences that
follow, for I heard myself many vow vengeance_
against them, as they would have something to defend
themselves in future. And who can blame them, i"
they like to meet, and don't wish- to.break the peace.
which I do not believe they dd-. What right have
our preventive force to cause them to do it, which is
clear enough they want to, or:. why did they let the
meeting begin at all, which they could have easily
prevented if they liked ? There were plenty to d'e.
it ; but they thought of making a grand job of it, a.
soon as a few hundreds had got together, and then
gallop in amongst them at once, Which is a thing that
no thinking man would have done;_ and I consider
that be is answerable for all the miiichief that was.
done, for if they had only went lathe people as 1.11.
began to collect, and told thenfin a becoming man-
lier they could not allow it,. they would have walked
away, and all the cracked heads, &c., would haN
been prevented. By-the-by it is very strange we
have not got the account of all that met with broken
heads, limbs, &c.

if the abOve is worth inserting in your valuablt
paper, it would oblige a constant reader, as they are
a few facts that came under my own observation.

NAUTICAL ANECDOTIS OF HER
MAJESTY WHEN PRINCESS VICTORIA.
It is not generally known that her Majesty i%
conversant with matters of seamanship as she rear
is. Before her ascension to the throne of these realf,
no amusement afforded her more delight than fnarin.
excursions ; and, during the summer season, 1p:-
beautiful yacht, the Emerald, was in frequent requifi-
tion. Nor were her Majesty's trips. at all times un-
attended with danger, and the following instance
show that a very narrow escarie from one of the many
" perils of the deep" occurred during one of her voy-
ages. At a time when her Majesty was sailing around
a portion of the Isle of Wight, her .favourite eruisin,T
ground, on account of the beautiful scenery to befound
there, a breeze sprung up, and before the Emerald
could get into Cowes Roads, fbr which she was beat-
ing up, it freshened into a gale. . In squally weather
there is a very ugly short sea that runs in the channel,
which now washed the yacht's decks " fore and aft."
Iler Majesty, however, with a degree of nerve seldom
to be found in her sex, and oftelatimes wanting in a
man, stayed on deck, and quietly, thoukch carefully,
attended to the efforts of the- men. Die pilot on
board, Mr. Saunders, was giving directions, and
doing everything that a seaman could do to bring his
onerous charge safe into port, when a sharp squall
came and took the Emerald "aback," and crack went
the topmast immediately above the " cap." Seeing
the danger, Saunders sprang to where the Queen ti .s
standing, seized her round the waist, and had scarcely
time to deposit her farther aft, where less chance of
harm existed, when crash came the topmast dolva
upon the deck, directly on the spot where the Queen
had stationed herself, scareel an instant interveni
between her removal and its fall ;‘ had 14,, fallen on her
it must inevitably have crushed her - In gratitude to
her preserver the Queen (then Pr;icess) got him np
pointed as a master in the nay7,/and after her ascal.
sion to the throne she order him to be brought 70
Court. He was for some time master of the 14'l;
brand Royal Yacht steamer (now called the 8k.:.,!.;
Eagle. in honour of the King of Prussia), but it
bo regretted he is recently dead. An ample provisioi.
has, however, been considerately made by the
for his wife and family. Queer,
