BRILLIANT MARRIAGE OF AN EARL's DAuGH-
TER--0n the 10th ult., the marriage of Lady
Alice Villiers, second daughter of the Earl
of Clarendon, with Lord Skelmersdale, was
solemnized at st. Paups Church, Knights

deep flounces of the same. Her head dress
consisted of a wreath of small white roses,
white lilies, and orange flowers, with a
large square veil thrown over her head. She
wore valuable necklace of diamonds and
pearls, with bracelets to correspond, and
carried in her hand very splendid bouquet
of bot-house flowers. She was attended by
a number of youthful haRdmaids elegantly
attired. After the ceremony, the wedding
party repaired to the residence of the Earl
and Countess of Clarendon, Grosvernor-
crescent South, where grand dejsunsr was

The Restoration TO Life of Hicks, the Pc
rRte-The Truth of the Story still In
sisted Upon.
The New York Leader, which quite startled
the credulous people last week with report
that the pirate, Albert w. Hicks, who was
executed at Bedloe's Island, on the 18th Of
July last, had been revived and was now
living at Poughkeepsie, has rscurred to the
subject. It insists that its original state
ment was true, and it argues at length both
the possibility of the resurrection and the
credibility of the evidence by which the fact
is supported. 1t says, after alleging that
Mrs. Hicks has never been able to find the
body of her husband
It will be recoilected that Mrs. Hicks and
the priest she had engaged to bury the pi-
rate, were left waiting at the barge Office on
the Battery, for several hours, while the
parties who had the body in charge took it
ashore at another pier, and according to
their own statement afterward made pub
lic-not finding Mrs. Hicks-conveyed the
coffin to Calvary Cemetery, where it was
buried. Such facts speak96r themselves.
It is further admitted that respectable and
reliable witnesses have seen Hicks alive and
walking the streets of New York, since the
day of his supposed execution: and a Deputy
United States Marshal states that a gentle
man who had just called to see him. while
he was absent, said that Hicks had been
brought down from Poughkeepsie, in order
to be made the subject of medical opera
ton in this city.
The gentleman said that the pirate could
open his mouth, but had no power of utter
ance. He believed, from Hicks's appearance,
that it would be impossible for him to live
much longer If this is not good evidence,
under all the peculiar circumstances, we
would like to know what would be consid-
| cred as such.
1t is to be remarked that of the four doctors
named by us as having been engaged in the
| resuscitation, only one has denied the fact,
and in his case we confess we were wrong,
Taking down our evidence hastily and ex-
citedly from the lips of two informants, we
may have mistaken the name of Dr. Car
michael and written Carnochan in its place.
| Dut Drs. Crane, O'Reilly and Bull have all
| acknowledged, by their silence, what is an
undoubted medical triumph. And even in
| Carnochan's case-supposing he ever did deny
| it, which we doubt--it is to be remembered
| that he was not under oath, and can not be
expected to feel under very strong obligations
to reveal any of the secrets of the faculty
But if Albert W. Hicks is not living, let then
! produce his dead body, as surely as they ough
to be able to do
There is in this, says the New York EDen
ing Post, either an awkward attempt to hoax
the public or to bring into repute the famou;
| medico- chemical baths, which are said tC
have the wonderful efficacy of reviving the
dead. Yet, utterly preposterous as the whole
story will appear to the sane mind, there
are many persons who will give to it full
and implicit faith.

A NoBLRMAN RESCUED FROM A CoURTEsAN
BY HIS WIFE.-A German nobleman visited
Paris recently on pleasure. He was wealthy
and lived freely. He became infatuated with
a notorious courtesan named Rigolette, and
squandered so much money upon her that
after short career ofpleasure he found him
self beggar and debtor, in prison. His
wife journeyed from Germany, arrived in
Paris, saw her husband and listened to his
confession without betraying anger or re-
proach. She went to tribunal, explained
the case, trial took place, and Rigolette,
accused of immortality and swindling, and
compelled to restore the property; the Ger
handsome residue, thanks to his wife, he
returned to his country AMI his krout.

Another South Carolinian's Opinion Of the
.r r.-. DisuniOn Question.


A South Carolina gentleman of high char
acter writes thus to the New York World:
In regard to the Union, there is, no doubt,
a strong, and in some parts of the planting
region perhaps prevalent disuniOn spirit
much less intense and prevalent, however,
than persons at distance might suppose-but
itcan not at present break out externally--not
so much from loyalty to the Union as because
interest in any thing whatever but their own
affairs. In other words, self-interest is
stronger than Southern rights, when these
are only threatened. Now, such speeches as
Summers indorsed by Northern Legislatures
and circulated by the Republican Commi-
tee-al declarations of hostile character,
avowing a purpose of determination, &C.,
must of course arouse like spirit-and the
more matters seem to tend to positive ag-
gression in any quarter, the more certain an
active resistance.
The talk about it, in the mean time, may be
very weak, and does its own cause only
harm; but it must be evident that if the sec
tional interests of the country are ever
brought into collision, there must be trouble
enough, whatever be the result. Now
do honestly believe that the South would do
the North only good, and that if the anti
slavery spirit could only keep quiet all will
vet subside. Not but that there are faults
on our side-yet, be that as it may, South
ern planters, in the main, would ask nothing
more than to be let alone land believe, but
for political aspirants, would not be dragged
into the political arena at all(, and if such
counsels as yours prevail at the North, il
/ would not be many years before the "bonds
which bind us together" will never feel the
strain of 'the tug of parties"

A MoNoMANIAo ON THE SUBJECT OF Wo-
MEN-A MAN ELoPEs WITH THREE FEMALES.
The Northeast (Ill.) Reporter, of late date,
observes:
The town of Tully, ILL.,, was thrown into
considerable excitement last Tuesday, by
the announcement that George B. Robinson
had eloped with the wife of man in that
place. leaving his wife and six small children
TO depend on the world for a support. In
Quincy the eloping couple were married.
From facts elected, it appears that this is
Robinson's third wife living. In Kentucky
he was married, number of years ago, to
woman, and after living with her awhile,
seduced her sister, girl of only twelve or
thirteen, finally ran off with her and came
to this place, bringing with them his children
by his first wife. Here he remained for
several years and was generally regarded as
a good citiZen--the circumstances of his
first elopement from Kentucky being un-
known. Two years after his elopement
from his wife, he married the sister as his
second wife. 1t was suspected that he was
too intimate with the woman he had selected
for his third wife, but no one thought of his
running off with her. But Tuesday Mr..
Robinson turned up missing, and so did his
wife No. 3. In Quincy he was apprehended
and again turned loose. 1t is reported that
he was seen near Tully, few nights since,
and shot at, but whether this is so or not, the
Regulators are after him strong.

A MAN SUFFooATED BY CARBoNIo ACID.
A few days ago, Thomas r. Rodman, a col
ored man, attempted to clean a we'll at Lam
singburg, N. Y. The cover and pump were
removed, when scum was noticed on top
of the water. Rodman volunteered to de-
seend the well with pail and remove this
deposit. He commenced lowering himself
down with a rope, but had not gone far
when his head was noticed to drop back,
and he was wedged in the well quite insen-
sible. He was raised as soon as possible, pnt
life was entirely extinct. The earbonlc acld
in the well had suffoeated him.

A Boy HANGS HIMSELF IN JEsT.-A boy,
about fourteen years of age, named Loop,
committed suicide recently, at Centerville,
New York, by hanging himself. He had
remarked to his sister during the evening
that he intended to hang himself, but she
did not pay much attention to his remark.
He was missed soon afterward, and the
sister began to be alarmed and searched for
him. He was soon found in one of the out
houses, suspended by the neck, and imme-
diately cut down. Life was not quite ex-
tinct, but all efforts to revive him were
unayailing. He had several fits, and finally
died on Monday morning. No cause is
assigned for this singular suicide. The
probability is that the boy was only in fun,
but his sport accidentally became sad
reality.

RemnrkabIe nIanufactOry in EngInnd.

One of the most remarkable establishments
in England, or indeed in any country, is that
where the improved description of stearine-
candles is now manufactured. An immense
room is fitted up, throughout its entire ex-
tent, with parallel benches, running from
one end of the apartment to the other. In
these benches, ranged close together in a
perpendicular direction, are the candle
molds, which, viewed from above their
open mouths present the appearance of
vast honey-comb, commensurate with the
size Of the room itself. Along the top of
each bench, l04 feet in length, there runs q
railway, and, working on this railway, is
what may be termed a candle-locomotive--a
large car, running on wheels, containing hot
candle material.
The wicks having been adjusted truly in
the long axis of the mold, the locomotive
advances, and deposits in each line of molds
exactly material enough to fill them, pro-
ceeding regularly from one end Of the bench
to the other. After a sufficient time has
elapsed to allow them to cool, preparations
are made to withdraw them from their
molds. This is done in a very ingenious
manner. In an apartment close at hand, an
iron boiler of great thickness is fitted with
highly compressed air, by means of.a pump
worked by a steam engine; pipes from this
powerful motive communicate with every
distinct candle-mold, and convey to it a
the square inch, about the surface of the
diameter of a candle. These candle-molds
and the air-pump constitute an immense
sir-gun, containing thousands of barrels,
each barrel loaded with candle. The turn
ing of a cock by boys in attendance lets off
these guns and elects the candles with a
slight kissing noise.
