The Bishop of Exeter has instituted a commission to
inquire into a charge against one of the clergy of his dio-
cese, of having solemnized marriage between parties not
resident in the parish. The commissioners have reported
that, as the clergyman had not inquired for parties at their
residences, and as it was not his custom to do so, a prima
facie case had been made out for the prosecution of fur-
ther proceedings.

THE CURT FASHIONABLE WORLD.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived on Tuesday at
Arundel Castle after a very rapid journey from Osborne
House during which they were received with every demon-
stration of loyalty and respect, more especially from the
people of Chichester and Arundel. The Royal travellers
were again fortunate in having splendid weather—a sharp
frost, out a clear and brilliant sun. The Royal party left
Osborne House at half-past twelve, crossing to Ports-
mouth in the Royal yacht, and then proceeding through
Emsworth and Chichester, to Arundel Castle, where they
were received by the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk.
The royal party were engaged daily in inspecting
the various objects of interest in the immediate locality;
among the guests invited to meet Her Majesty were the
Earl and Countess of Ellesmere. On Thursday morning
the Queen and Prince Albert, and a large party of the dis-
tinguished personages, went to Petworth House, to
honour Colonel and Mrs. Wyndham with a visit. The
royal party reached Petworth about half-past one o'clock,
and returned to the castle from Petworth House at a
quarter to three o'clock, and immediately after lunched
with the guests in the dining-room. Her Majesty and
the Prince, in the afternoon, proceeded to the lawn be-
neath the keep, and there planted two oak saplings, in
the presence of a numerous circle of the nobility staying
at the castle. After which, the royal party went to the
ancient church of Arundel, adjoining the park. The
Duke of Wellington and the Countess of Ellesmere were
out taking equestrian exercise nearly two hours, and re-
turned to the castle shortly before two o'clock. Her
Majesty left on Friday morning for Osborne House.
On Friday Sir Robert Peel gave a soiree at Drayton
Manor, the distinguished party numbering upwards of one
hundred and fifty, and including members of the principal
families in that and the adjoining counties. The Collins
Family were present on the occasion.
It is said that the validity of the marriage of the Mar-
quis of Tweedale, father of the Marchioness of Douro and
the Countess of Dalhousie, is disputed by a lady who
claims to have been previously married to the Marquis by
the law of Scotland. Shoula this claim be established, it
is understood that the succession of the title would be al-
tered, as the legitimacy of an elder brother would be esta-
blished.
