The London Express OF the 30th July has the
following particulars OF the eveut:-
1T was not till the fact OF the proclamation
OF the banus IN Paris became kDown that the
public Obtained something like certainty of
the marriage celebration The announcement

long before the time ixed tot the celebration,
VIZ, ii o'clock, aud it is hardly necessary
to add that the laraer portion OF the spectators
belonged to the fair sex. The church was orna-
mented in the usual style of Roman Catholic
Chapels, that is 10 say, there we're plenty of
flowers on the aitars, and plenty OF lighted
candles also. Besides the seats reserved before
the altar for the bride and brioeuroom, the
bridesmaids and groomsmen, there were seats
in the body of the building kept for those
friends who we're in vited to the ceremony. Tue
entrance of the bridesmaids tour IN number,
attracted the ewes OF the crowded chapel. They
were dressed In white, with blue wreaths around
the head, blue ribbons round the neck, aud blue
sashes.
THE entrance OF the bride herself accom-
panied by the father, Signor Patt, created the
lveliest interest amongst the spectators. she
wore white satin Dress, covered with lace
veil, winch fell over her person. She wore the
orange blossoms, consecrated to hymeneal celc-
bratons, and green wreath. She looked, it
Iced hardly be said, extremely pretty, and
though very pale, she wore smile on her face.
She at once proceeded to the prle-dteu prepared
for her and kUelt before the altar. The BRIDE
groom is not like a Frenchman in appearance.
lie Is fair in complexion. about the middle
height, well made and sufficiently gOod-looking,
He was accom- panied By the Freuch Ambasss-
DOR. the PuuCe de la Tour dAuvergne, the
Duke of Manchester, Mr.. Mure, and other
lriends- Amongst those present were Sgnor
Mario, Madame Grisi and three of her chilIren,
Signor Taglil6co, Signor Costa Mr.. Gye, Mr..
Strakosch, Mr. Harris, and several others con-
nected with the opera houses. The bridesmaids
were Mad'l Leuw, Miss Maria Harris, Mad'lle
Kita dI Gambia. and Mad'lle Zanzy.
The marriage ceremony OF the Roman Catho-
lie church is a very short one not occupying
more than from five to ten minutes. 1t Is OF
course in the Latin tongue, like all the ceremo-
MES OF that church. When the bridegroom
endowed the BRIDE with all his worldly goods,
and placed the gold RING on her finger, they
retired from tue church INTO the vesLry.room
where the registers, both civil aud ecclesiastical
we're signed bS the bride and bridegroom, and
tour witnesses, three OF whom were the Prince
de Ia Tour d'Auvergne, the DUKE oil Manchester,
and Mr.. Mure. WDen the parties returned into
the church the marriage mass was celebrated,
the bride accompanying the priest attenLively,
with her pray yei-book before her. The bride
groom did not have, perhaps he did not require
the accompaniment OF a manual of prayers. The
celebraDt oil the marriage ceremony, and also of
the mass, was the Very Rev. F. Plunkett tsou
OF the Earl oil tlngalD assisted by the Revs. F.
F. Burke and Clancy. The mass occupied much
more time than the marriage 1t was the ord-
nary low mass or the Roman Catholic church,
but being marriage one the nup.ial blessing
was gwen during its celr braton.
"Aiter mass, the bridal party proceeded down
the church, the prlnclp pal persons receiving the
congratulations of their friends The Marquse
de CauX kissed Madame GrIsi and her daug hters,
and the Marquis shook hands with his friends.
The bride looked extremely interesting after the
ceremony, and perhaps not less lovely than
when as GriiSte she recently went through
s,nliiar ceremony as Gtuiettd in Gounods opera.
The newly married couple drove OF amidst the
plaudits of the crowd.n
The marriage does not in vol re the withdrawal
OF Patti from the lyric stage. The London Tee
graph says:-
Monsieur and Madame de Caux have started
for Paris on the way 10 Switzerland, and our
readers will be glad 10 be reassured on the SUBJ
iect of La D,va's much can vassed retirement
from the stage by the announcement that she is
to commence a short engagement at Homburg
on the 18th OF August. According to her con-
cluded arrangements, Madame de CauX will
shortly appear at the Italian Opera of Paris, and
will also iuldl her engagement at ST. Peters.
burg. There seems, therefore, to be no imme-
date fear that her accession to the ranks OF the
French nobility will take the Adeliua Patti of
former days from the stage that she has so much
adorned. This beng the case, she may be un-
hesitatpgly congratulated on a marriage which
will confer dignity upon the faVorite OF all opera.

we do not doubt that she will lone continue to
minister to the most imperious of the Intellectual
requirements of Europe" .
