A couple, one morning this week, presented thmselvt.
at a church in York, to be united in the blissful bonds of
Hymen. "Spurring?' had been put in in the name of John
Wight, stonemason, and Mary Botterill, both of York ;
and they had been regularly asked, no person saying " nay."
At the church, however, the bridegroom (who is a fanner%
servant, and not a " stonernason,") behaved himself indeco.
foully ; and at the passage of the service, where he mise, to take the woman to have and to hold for henceforth; in-
, stead of repeating after the priest, he said " for ever and a
fortnight afterwards." The clergyman very Properly cloud
his book, telling the swain he must not come there to make
game of sacred ceremonies, and refused to marry the eoupk
• till a more proper sense of the solemn nature of the engage-
ment was entertained ; they returned, therefore, as they went.
" in single blessedness!"

dons!, that all party feeling would have been forgotten, sad
that each townsman, waving fee the day all consideration of
politics, would have joined and vied with his neighbour in
giving full expression to a strong sentiment of loyal
joy. Unhappily this was not the case. Party feeling
has, indeed, always run strong in this town, and since
the late elections has increased in violence and acrimony.
The tories have not, nor will not forget the signal defeats
they then sustained, both as to the county and the town.
On the coronation of George the Fourth the andthe town tortes were loud enough in expresaitnclir
joyshy
but on the present occasion, with some few boontrabk
exceptions, the display of festive joy was confined
to the whip; party. The corporation a body did
nothing. Their mayor, it is true, hung out a Sig
from his residence, and by placing candles in hits
windows early in the day gave an indication of what
he personally intended doing. The two corporation flags
were also displayed from the toot-hall, but, by a strange
accident. if it could be an accident. they were both only half
unfurled. The church of AU Saints bore a flag, and others
were exhibited by the highly respectable postmaster. at the
Peacock Inn, by Meson. T. Sharpe and Stanton, Mercer's
Row, and at two or three other houses, and the bells tang
at intervals ; but there was no general regaling of the
poorer inhabitants.
