British stage. The marriage ceremony was performed at
Sefton Church, by the Rev. Mr. Clarke, in the presence
of their more immediate relatives and friends, the bride
being given away by her brother, Mr. Charles Cushman,
of London. On returning to Seaforth-hall, the bridal

party were received by a distinguished circle, composed
of the principal families of the neighbourhood, and after
partaking of a magnificent dejeun, at which the health of
the bride and bridegroom was proposed, in very feeling
terms, by Mr. Sheridan Knowles, they proceeded to
Liverpool, en route for Cheltenham, amidst the hearty
congratulations and cordial wishes of all.—Journal.

will be remembered that Lieut. Bowen,-whilst in custody
on the charge, committed suicide by hanging himself in
the Giltspur-street Compter. The prisoner is accused of

letters addressed by Lieut. P. Bowen to " John Bell."
Patrick Coulon and James Ryan, both of the revenue
police, stated that they knew the prisoner's handwriting,
and believed the signature "John Bell" to be his. Mr.
Humphreys very closely examined all the witnesses, but
