tenance. "Old Buck" our bachelor Presi-
dent, claimed the honor of first saluting the
bride and feelingly congratulated her upon
the eEslt.
what of the bridegroom, hear you
ask Well, by the side or in the presence
O. such a bride, one might be excused for
l-rgetting that there was a bridegroom !
but there was one tall and fine looking
gentleman, dressed in admirable taste in a
suit of elegant black. The Riggs family is
one of the most wealthy and respectable
families in this District Maryland and New
York. Mr.. Lawrason Riggs is one of the
most wealthy aud worthy of the family,
and all who know him heartily congratulate
the bride upon having obtained so good a
husband. Allow, me, however, to whisper
my congratulations into his ears that he has
secured SO good a wife. l have known her
from childhood, and she is the tairest
among ten thousand, and the one altogether
lovely" 4l t.sas-
Among the ladies in attendance, noticed
the dignifed and lovely niece of the Presi-
dent, Miss Lane; the sylph-like form of
Miss Corcoran, who, rumor says, is soon
herself to enter Hymen's bowers the
cheerful and fascinating Mrs. Thompson,
lady of the Secretary of the Interior; the
beautiful Mrs. Pugh, of Ohio Mrs. Brown,
lady of the Postmaster General Mrs. Sill
dell, of Louisiana Mrs. Brown, of Missis-
sipi; Mrs. Grittenden, of Kentucky; Mrs
Clay, and Mrs. Fitzpatrick, of Alabama
Mrs. Sartiges, lady of the French Minister
Mrs. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, and a host of
Others too numerous to mention.
Among the gentlemen, noted the Presi-
dent of the United States; Senators Toombs,
Pugh, Hammond Kennedy, Jones, Critten-
den; General Cass; Mr.. Thompson, Secre-
tary of the Interior; Governor Floyd, Sec
retary of War; Governor Toucey, Secretary
of the Navy; Attorney General Black; W.
w. Corcoran, Esq; Mr.. Clayton, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury; Representatives
Hughes Niblack, Foley, Gregg, English,
and score or two of other distinguished
men.
After the company had paid their respects
to the bride, there was an adjournment to
the supper room, where there was not only
" a feast of reason and flow of soul" but a
princely feast of good things, under which
the table literally groaned. As l entered
the room, my eyes were attracted to two
superb cakes which graced the center of the
table. One was the brides cake-a pyra-
mid, four feet high: profusely embellished
with silver leaves, and the choicest flowers,
magnificently iced, and crowned with a
white wreath. 1t was really beautiful
sight. The other was the groom's cake
similar in all respects, except the wreath.
There were also about dozen other large
cakes, prominent among which were two
very large candy cakes over three feet in
height, beautifully orramented, and embel-
lished with choice designs. Every delicacy
of the season was on the table in rich pro-
fusion. Take it all in all, it was a princely
affair, and reflected great credit on our noble
Senator and his worthy lady

The Wedding g of Miss Bright.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81, 1859.
EDITOR SENTINEL-The great event ofthe
week, in this city, has been the marriage of
one of Indiana's most lovely and accom-
plished daughters-MisS Mary T. Bright,
daughter of our distinguished Senator, Hon.
]. D. Bright-to Lawrason Riggs, of New
York city. The wedding came off at nine
o'clock on Thursday evening, the oath inst,
the ceremony being performed by the Rev.
DR.. S. P Hill, the minister of the Tenth
Street Baptist Church here, of which the
family are members. 1t was the most beau
tiful and appropriate marriage ceremony l
ever heard, aud so pronounced 10y every per-
son present. The President of the United
States, the French Minister, and a rye
number of Senators and Representatives in
Congress were present on tic occasion.
The bride was dressed in an elegant W hi 70
satin dress, with a long trail; the waist was
made with points trimmed with superb
poiate lace, and the front of it covered with
Grccian folds. A magnificent white lace
veil, very long, was fastened Oh her head
with orange blossoms, and fell in graceful
folds over her person. The present from
the bridegroom, beautiful and costly set of
diamonds, consisting of necklace, earrings,
breast pin and bracelet, was most appropri-
ate and tasteful, and sparkled with a bril-
liancy only eclipsed by the shining lustre of
her own bright eyes On her other arm she
wore an elegant gold bracelet set with
pearls She "looked every inch bride,
and was the object of universal commenda-
ton. Her genial and graceful manners,
free from all ostentation and hauteur; the
sweetness of her disposition, and amiability
of temper, together with her fine converse
tional powers, had rendered her a general
favorite in W ashington and there were many
regrets mingled with the congratulations
which poured in upon her after the ceremo-
ny, that our Washington society was so soon
to lose her bright smile and cheerful coun-
