A GoLpEN WEDDING.-The great So
sial eYspt of the day, the marriage Cor we
should say, the alliance, since it is to be con-
drc;ed on a royal scale of magnifcence)
between the Cuban millionsire, Sefiior o.,
and the Ameriacane, Miss B., is to be Gel
ebrated on or about the middle of next
mouth; first in Grace CHURCH, to concili-
- hte the Protestant prejudicies of the bride,
and afterward, with impressive display, ,at
sns of the Roman Catholic cathedrals.
This golden wedding has been postponed
ON account of the recent severe illness OF
the bridegroom, as well as to await the ar
rival of one hundred thousand tlar bri-
dial present from Cuba, to be sent by the
Eentle.nan's sister TO her prospective sis
fet-in-lsv So brilliant a part, with his
sixty years and his four millions of dol
Jars, has been for more than q year the
end and aim Of many Fifth-avenue mat
tons on behalf of their budding daughters,
and Of many Fifth-agenue heiresses on
their own behalf; but the ambitious hopes
of these dogagers and bellies have been
!, sadly crushed by young lady outside of
i their "ses" "-portionless, prehaps but rich
in her seventeen years, her ERgeRie-like
features. and her tall, graceful figure, to
say nothing of virgin affections.
The auspieious blending Of these kindred
hearts dates from last New ears day,
NJ len uudeF the genial influence of the
season generous Fortune led his prancing
steede. bis yellow interpreter, and bis gold
en- self to the house irradiated by her pres
d, ,eugei since which time, after speedy and
successful courtship, the ardent lover has
piled the curiosity-shops of Broadway for
gifts worthy of his golden-tressed Ade-
laide." =

June of six hundred thousand dollars, to
wit: a
''One set Of diamonds and pearls, consist
ing Of necklace, bracelets, brooch, ear-rings

/" The gold doth shew her blessedness
The sapphires mark her true;"
and we may wind up with tfe Elizabeth

wedding and one week of Reception sue
ceeding it, instead of the usual tour, the
happy pair will retire to honeymoon It in
o "palatial" Fourteenth-street residence,
in which, with loves impatiencc, the fair
Rpapcse is already installed under the
protection of her delighted parents.

his bride to his own sunny land after
which the gay capitals of Europe will be
made brighter by her adyeat-and her
dianionds.-So says the jenkins of the
