A MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE PREVENTED.

On Saturday morning, just as the Rev. M. D. Ffrench
was about to commence the morning service at St. George's,
Hanover-square, London, a license for marriage was pre-
sented by a lady and gentleman. The clerk, as in duty
bound, commenced reading the document, and was much
surprised to find that it authorised the performance of the
ceremony for parties no less distinguished than the Lady
Anna Eliza Mary Temple Nugent Brydges Chandos
Grenville, daughter of Richard Plantagenet, Duke and
Marquis of Buckingham and Chandos, and Gore Langton,
Esq., son of Colonel Gore Langton, M.P. for East So-
mersetshire. The late hour at which the proposed bride
and bridegroom reached the church tendered it impos-
sible for the ceremony to be performed previous to the
morning service. Mr. Ffrench, in the meantime, seeing
that the bride and bridegroom were not accompahied by
any of their friends, and fearing that the proposed mar-
riage was a clandestine one, sent a messenger to the Duke
of Buckingham to inform him that a marriage in which he
was so deeply interested was about to take place. When
the information was first conveyed to his Grace he was
inclined, as we are informed, to treat it with neglect, un-
der the impression that such an event was impossible ;
but, as the messenger insisted most pertinaciously on the
truth of his statement, and his Grace had ascertained that
his daughter was absent, he, without further delay, has-
tened to St. George's Church, and arrived in the vestry-
room just previous to the conclusion of the morning ser-
vice. His surprise, on entering the vestry-room, may be
better conceived than described. A scene of considerable
excitement occurred, in the midst of which the Rev. Mr.
Ffrench entered the vestry-room from the church, having
just concluded the service. The Duke of Buckingham
immediately addressed Mr. Ffrench, expressing his deci-
ded objection to the performance of the ceremony. On
the other hand, Mr. Gore Langton and the lady claimed
as a matter of right that the ceremony should proceed im-
mediately. Mr. Ffrench calmly stated that his duty did
not afford him any option. The parties were, it appeared,
of mature age, the license was in all respects sufficient,
and he was bound to perform the ceremony without further
delay. It would be vain to 'attempt to describe the urgent
solicitations on the one hand, and the decided resistance
offered by his Grace on the other. 'I he details of a scene
of so much excitement must of necessity be imperfect, and
painful, on reflection in calmer moments, to all those con-
cerned. His Grace urged his objection to this clandestine
union in the strongest terms; he appealed to Mr. Ffrench,
and undertook to bold him harmless from any penalties
incurred by disobeying the terms of the license : and
finally, Mr. Ffrench, overcome by the entreaties of his
Grace, declined to perform the ceremony. After some
further delay, the lady retired with her father, and Mr.
Gore Langton retired to his residence; both evincing se-
vere disappointment at this unexpected interruption to
their anticipated happiness.
We believe we may add that, whatever may have been
the surprise of both the Duke and Duchess at the disco-
very of an attachment AO ardent. and so unlooked for by
them, their objet ion applies chiefly to the clandestine
manner in which the union was about to take place; and
that in a few days the ceremony will be performed in a
manner worthy of the daughter of the house of Grenville.

LONDON CORN EXCHANSE.—YiesTrRoAr.

The supply of wheat from Essex and Suffolk fresh up for thia
morning was better than for some time past—that from Kent
only moderate. The market opened heavily; and, in order to
make any progress in sales, it was necessary to submit to a
decline of Is to 2s per quarter: to have effected a clearance, a
further abatement would have been taken. .4
There was no demand for free foreign or bonded on the
spot ; some inquiry, however, was experienced for floating car-
goes of Polish, Odessa, end Mediten•anean qualities, for Bel-
gium ; but we did not hear of any sales having been made.
Both malting and grinding Barley must be written ls. per qr.
Beans sells freely on fully as good terms, as do also white
and maple peas, There is rather a better snpply of oats, which
move off slowly at 6d. to is. lower than on tins day se'nnight;
good qualities are very scarce.

SMITH FIELD
MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
During the past week, the imports of foreign stock into
London have consisted of 24 oxen from Hamburg, 75 oxen and
cows, together with 20) sheep, from Rotterdam, and 47 cows,
28 oxen, together with 105 sheep, from Harlingen. At Hull,
about 150 head of stock have been received from iloll and.
To-bsy we had on offer 76 oxen and cows, as also 120 sheep
arrived from the above ports all in excellent condition but which
meta dull sale at barely late rates. In theabove areincluded 10
oxen from Prussia, very similar in appearance to those noticed
last week. The latter where shipped at Rotterdam.
