COMPLIMENT TO THE PRESS.

1t has often been noticed that while no
public dinner could go off here without a
toast of the Press, drunk with all the
honors, and replied TO in an exhilarating
speech by some enthusiastic member Of
the fourth estate, our Transatlantic cous-
ins never pay similar homage to their
journals. Hence it has been argued that
the press is either valued too highly here
or too low there. The last news from the
East shows that the only difference be-
tween the British and ourselves is in the
manner of paying compliments. The
Commander-in-chief has issued orders
that commissariat rations shall be issued
tothe correspondence the london Times,
and forage to his horse. We drink toasts
to our journals: the British give beef and
bread, beer and oats to theirs. We don t
know on the whole whether this plan does
not indicate higher regard for the we'll
being of the fourth estate than ours

FANCY MARRIAGES.

Marriages which properly comes under
this head are getting to be all the rage at
the North, and the ecfdt attending on
these blazoned affairs seems to be no small
inducement to their consumption. To be
simply united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony, by simple Rev. Mr.. Brown or Mr..
Jones, is voted as extremely barbarious
and uncivilized, and due notoriety through
the public Journals of all particulars Of a
union bids fair to be soon recognized
condition in accepting proposition of
marriage. Like a favorite filly on the
race track, the bride must be trotted out
and descanted upon from the color of her
eyes to the size of her foot-from the
rouge on her cheek to the hem of her pet
ticoat--the jewels in her hair and the
fringe of drapery, with a style of elo-
quence which would do credit to fancy
auctioneerer of dry goods. All the Miss
es Flunky and the Hon. Messrs Flunky
in attendance must be freely noticed and
should the bridal party go on tour their
movements must be carefully watched
and noted until their return and even the
domestic veil is sometimes slightly raised,
that the fashionable world may be edited.
And this may be the result of the progress
of refinement, but it smacks hugely of
rank humbug, and an artificial state Of So
ciety not profitable to contemplate.
