awaiting the appearance OF his betroih-

years. The parties soon met, a friend

opened and The clergyman at the altar.
The arrangements were made after a
short delay ,as the Bishop and the Priest
who were 10 oficiatc had retired for the
night. Tie bridal party drove from the
steamer TO the church. Tie candles in
the altar gave hu, DIM light, and the
scene was quite peculiar. During the
marriage cerimony, The clock in the

consisted OF but five PERSONS the bride

The NEWPORT MAYoRALTY QUESTION
Is not within our diocese, aud we have
quite trouble enough al home, but as
we have expressed the opinion and we
do not see how there can be any DIS
pu'e upon il, and the rejection OF the
two votes from which the words "lor
Mayor" were cut off was clearly illegal,
we should note the reply OF the Newport
Mercury. That paper does not fur her
defend the rejection Of the vote, except
to deny any fraud on the part ol The
canvassers. This We have not seen re-
putcd. The Mercury says however
there are technical difficulties IN the
way OF remedy which are insurmount-
able. Tins may be so. We are not
familiar with the law, but as members
OF the City Council Of New York have
been called to answer before the court
for :heir votes gwen in the Board OF
Aldermen, we certainly suppose that
there must be some way OF reaching a
case OF this kind. Suppose they had
given the certificate to Mr.. Cranston,
