There is soon to be grand temper
ance jubilee in our city. Several dlstln-
guished lecturers are expected to adoress
the people, among them General Ca,ey
of Ohio, and others. They are on tnelr
wav to the National Temperance ooh-
yent;on. If by aeitating this subject the
rand spread Of groggeries can De cur
tailed. some good viii result.
Ou,te a JOYOUS marriage ceremony came
off in Christ church this morning. The
warm affection of the happy hearts was
united and consummated by the Rev. DIR.
Johns, who officiated. The bride was
the beautiful and accomplished Miss Vlr-
GINA Wright. daughter of W. ID. Wright.
The groom was Mr.. Samuel Leverlng, oil
this city. The scene was quite lmpos-
ing and exciting. Nothing looks so much
like doing right than the act OF leading
n sweet blooming bride to the hymenial
altar. After bidding adieu, the happy
couple betook them to carriage, and
were off on a northern tour. Two to
one this will be the happiest journey of
their earthly pilgrimage.
The parties injured at the burning of
lLt sc tIlS
were Mr.. George L. Thompson and Mr..
g. III. Simmons, of the Hook and Ladder
Company. They are both badly burnt,
but it is hoped not seriously.
The forei en- advices by the steamer
franklin present no specially new feature
in Eastern affairs, except that Denmark
and Sweden are represented to have join
ed the Western powers against Russia.
Old Nicholas seems to rest content in the
glory of his might. 1t is evident that his
policy is to retreat-to avoid fighting as
much as possible-tO keep the allies on
the aggressive. He draws in his head
like green turtle. When England,
France, and Turkey have become wearied
out with fatigue, deeply involved in debt,
and tired of spending money "a period
probably two years off-then the bear
will hustle up, and come out of his den.
The nevis has had quite favorable effect
on breadstuffs, and stocks have some
what improved under the advance in con-
soils and ease of the London money mar
ket, RODERICK.
