tea; the two latter were the bride's-maids. The
usual forms being gone through, the happy couple
wired by the southern gate, which leads through
the church-yard into Jermyn-street. Here a new and
perfieent equipage was in waning to receive them;
it was a singulary elegant chariot painted a bright-
yellow, and highly emblazoned, drawn by four
Wend Arabian grey horses, attended by two pos-
tatprs-in bowmen jackets, with superbly embroidered
bodges in gold, emblematic of the united arms of
&Volt's:tame and TYLNEY families. The new
soiled pair drove off with great speed for Black-
bath, intending to pass the night at that tasteful
mow, belonging to the bridegroom's father, and
Scare proceed to Wanstead-House, in Essex, on the
following day, to pass the honey-moon. The bride's
me m excelled, in costliness and beauty, the celebra-
ma dress worn by Lady MOHPETII, at the time of her
marriage, which was exhibited for a fortnight at least,
by her mother the late Duchess of DEvoristentz.—
Ds dress of the present bride consisted of a robe of
real Brussels point lace ; the device a simple sprig;
' was placed over white satin. The head was orna-
tneaed with a cottage bonnet, of the same material ;
viz Brussels lace, with two ostrich feathers. She
likewise wore a deep lace veil, and a white satin pe-
lisse, trimmed with swansdown.. The dress cost 700
guineas ; the bonnet, MO ; and the veil, 200. Mr.
Pas wore a plain blue coat, with yelluw buttons, a
white waistcoat, and buff breeches, and white silk
stockings. It was to elude the eager curiosity of
the crowd, that they retired from the church at the
door opposite to the one at which they entered. Yes-
terday, the wedding favours were distributed among
their numerous friends ; the number exceeded eight
hundred, composed wholly of silver, aid unique in
form; those for Ladies having an acorn in the centre,
and the Gentlemen's a star ; each cost a guinea and a
half. The inferior ones, for their domestics and
others, were made of white sattin ribbon, with Over
stars, and silver balls and fringe. The Lady's jewels
consist principally of a brilliant necklace and ear-
rings; the former cost twenty five thousand guineas.

A serjeant in the Berkshire Militia received on

Friday s'nnight a meeting took place at Clonard,
county Kildare, between Lieutenant WILLIAM RYAN
and Lieutenant JAMES FITZWILLIAM, both of the 2d
Surrey regiment of Militia, when, after firing a shot
each, the ball of the former having slightly wounded
the latter in the neck, the seconds interfered, and re-
conciled the parties.
The resignation of Sir SAMUEL AUCHNUTY, it is ru-
moured, was not dictated by any offence conceived
to have been received through Lord MINTO, but a
perpetual interference in the military, or Commander
in Chief's Department, by Sir G. H. Bantow. The
latter, it is stated, had been accustomed to communi-
cate directly with the native Officers of the native
branch of the service, through the medium of the
Adjutant-General of the Madras Army, without any
intimation to the Commander in Chief ; and for the
purpose of facilitating communication with such na-
tive officers, to grant them occasionally leave of ab
sence, without any notification to the immediate Com-
manding Officers of the battalion to which they be-
longed.
