circles, we take from the London Times of
the 18th ult., particularly for the benefit Of
the softer sex, this account of the latest
connubial event of Importance in that me-

The marriage of Lady Emma Charlotte
Stanley with the Hon. Colonel @. Yelling
ton Talbot, brother of the Earl of Shrews-
bury, an event which for n considerable time
past has formed q topic of conversation in
fashionable and even in political circles, took
place on Thursday morning in the quiet
little church of Knowsley. The nuptials
were to have taken place week previous,
but were postponed on account of a severe
attack of illness by which the Earl of Derby,
father of the bride, had been confined to his
bed at Knowsley Hall for some days His
Lordship, though convalescent is still in
weak state of health, and this unfortunate
circumstance formed at once reason for the
privacy of the marriage. Pursuant to ar
rangements, the company invited to Knows
| ley Hall to be present at the marriage was
almost entirely limited to the immediate re-
latives of the bride and bridegroom.
According to previous arrangement the
hour for the marriage was fixed for halfpast
eleven o'clock, and few minutes before that
hour the company, which had previously as
sembed in the drawing-room, descended, and
| took seats in the carriages which had been
prepared to convey them to church. There
| were eight carriages in all, of which five be-
longed TO the Earl of Derby and three to the
| Earl of Seton.
| AT the church, a temporary covering had
| been erected over the space which intervenes
between the road and the church-door and
under this cover were ranged about twenty
girls, belonging to the school supported by
the Countess of Derby. These were neatly
dressed in pink and white and as the noble
bride approached they strewed flowers in
her path. The first carriage contained Col
onel Talbot, the bridegroom and Captain
Lowe. The state carriage of the Earl OF
Derby contained the Countess of Derby,
Lady Emma Stanley, Mrs. Wilbraham and
Lord Stanley.
The bride was attired with simplicity, her
dress being white silk covered with rich
white lace her vail being also of white lace;
the whole trimmed with green. In the alb
sence of the Earl of Derby, she was led tc
