Increase Of Mangfactures-On all sides
we hear of hard times and great scarcity of
money, which, however, does not seem to pre-
vent the building up of our city or the increase
of manufactures, and especially is this the
case in the tobacco trade. Within few weeks
past we notice that several fine buildings have
been erected and number of new firms have
commenced business. A very large and com
modious factory, situated at the foot of "Tay-
lor's hill' on Twenty second street, has just
been completed, the brick work being done by
Mr.. Westwood, and there are others in various
parts of the city.
Among the new firms started is that of our
young friend Mr.. Geo. R. Crump, who has ia
ken the large factory, corner of Main and
Twenty-sixth streets, has a numerous force en-
gagged in the manufacture of the weed, and is
turning out about three thousand pounds daily.
Mr.. Crump's known energy and superior
knowledge of all branches of his business, with
the latest improvements, and with excellent
arrangements with Northern and Western
houses, justi6es the belief that he will be emf
nently successful in his enterprise. He employs
about two hundred and fifty workmen, under
skilful and experienced gentlemen, chief among
whom is Mr.. Daniel McAllister, than whom no
better tobacconist or manager can be found 10
our city. We wish success to all new enter
prises, and especially to our young friend.

Wedding at the Broad Street Methodist
Chwch.-Last night at s o'clock, Rev. DR..
John e. Edwards, pastor of this church, Joined
in the holy bonds of matrimony, in the pres.
ence Of large and admring host of friends
and well-wishers, Mr.. William s. s. Wordep
and Miss Sarah J. Mccormick, formerly OF
New York, but now of this city. The bride
wore beautiful white silk dress, with a trail
three and half yards long, with white lace
over dress, set off with magnificent diamonds,
present from the mother of the groom. The
groom was tastefully and becomingly attired
in full evening dress.
There were no bridesmaids or bridesgrooms,
the couple entering the church and advancing
down the centre aisle accompanied by their
relatives At this Juneture the organ struck
up the grand old wedding march usual on such
occasions. The couple having taken their
position Immediately opposite the minister, the
simple but impressive ceremony was at once
begun which united two loving hearts forever.
The officiating clergyman, it was noticed, used
the symbolic ring type of unity in all ages. -
Decidedly this was the most diStingue affair
OF the Kind that has taken place at this church
for long time.
There were five hundred invitations out, and
we noticed among the many present, nephew
OF Sir Isaac Wilson, of London, the wife and
nephew of United States Senator Shoemaker,
Judge Joseph Christian of the Supreme Court
OF virginia, Dr. george w. Ross, OF Rich
mond, and host of other prominent citizens.
The brides mother, comely and elegant look
ing, was most becomingly attired in an elegant
moire antique.
The groom was gallant soldier in the late
war, and is cousin of Commodore Worden,
of the United States navy, who commanded
the Monitor in that famous naval engagement
in Hampton Roads, with the Virginia nee
Mcrrimac. The bride was the recipient OF
many most beautiful presents, the value Of
which amounted to at least So, 900.
The ceremony over the bridal party, amid
the congratulations of friends, left the church
to spend their honeymoon and receive their
friends at the Grand Central Hotel in New
York, where parlors have already been en-
gagged. We never saw a happier looking
couple. Hope seemed to have painted upon
the face of the bride the brightest flowers of
sweet anticipation, and the brow of the groom
bore the proud consciousness of victory and a
prize won in the wars Of Cupid without a
single scar. May their pathway through life
be spread with flowers without thorn, and
may they in reality prove to be
Two souls with but single thought;
Two hearts that beat as one"

Public Guard.

This bill was yesterday passed TO its en-
grossment. The Republicans made every
effort to modify it in such manner as not
to be standing army; but the Govern
or's "pet scheme" to have "guard mount"
every morning at o'clock, had to be sus-
tanned. AS consequence, the Demo-
cratic members of the House voted for the
BILL BY the way, does our Governor
contemplate to have inspections of his
commands and perhaps be the jim FISK
of Virginia? have summer encampments,
checker board teams, and lots OF other
fine things attending the command of
pet like this?
Mr.. jackson, of Prince Edward, offered
an amendment that would have had a
tendency to popularize the measure some
what, but it would not have suited the
Richmond ring, so it could not be adopted.
His plan was, that the men should be en-
listed from the State militia proportionate-
ly from each Senatorial district.
Other efforts were made to rid it of its
obnoxious features, but with like success.
Mr.. Jackson opposed the engrossment Of
this bill with few very well-timed re-
marks, clearly setting forth its unconstitu-
tionality. inefficiency for the purpose it is
intended for, and its expenses compared
with that of the present patrol system.

CHANCES IN TnE BANKRUPT Law. Tho
House of Representatives yesterday passed
Mr.. Mercur's bill to amend the bankrupt
law. This bill, it is understood, places
the appointment of registers with the
United States circuit courts, and provides
that the time for bankrupts to file their
petitions shall be extended from one year
to two years that the reversals OF DEGREES
in bankruptcy shall be made only in the
United States courts, and also that
exemptions under State laws shall not ex-
coed ST. 900, SO far as the operation of the
bankrupt law is concerned. The last two
amendments are designed to meet attempts
of State courts to impede the Jurisdiction
of the laws, and, in the case of exemption,
to make it uniform in operation. When
the act was first passed it provided that
State exemption, existing 10 1864, should
be recognized. The object of this limita-
ton was to prevent the Southern States,
as was then feared would be the case, from
making excessive exemptions in the in
terest of bankrupt landowners, &c.

THE AMERICAN APPLE TRADE AT LIv-
ERpooL.--The Pail Mall Gazette says the
trade in American apples at Liverpool is
daily assuming greater proportions. Some
few years ago the quantity of apples
brought as freight into Liverpool was
comparatively small, but at present it APP
pears as though they were to form one
great feature in the business of the port
A Scotch paper mentions that one of the
largest importers of apples at Port Huron,
Michigan, has been in Liverpool for some
time, and has just returned to his home,
after having contracted for the delivery in
Liverpool Of 10000 barrels of the best
Michigan apples. 1t is said he will clear
about five shillings sterling on each barrel.
One singular fact in connection with this
new addition to the commerce of Liver
pool, is that large quantities of the apples
thus sent to Liverpool are transhipped to
the Mediterranean in exchange for other
fruit,

PWhian HaU.--One of the finest and

be that now being fitted up over the store OF
T. r. Price q Co., corner of Main and Eleventh
streets, by the Knights of Pythias. The work
is being done under the supervision of Hines
Lodge, and no expense will be spared to make
it in every respect, suitable for the purposes
to which it is intended. In addition to the
main hall, there will be several smaller rooms
to be used for reception and committee purposes.
The new ball, we understand, will be occupied
by Hines, Richmond, Old Dominion, Virginia
Gsrmania and Syracuse Lodges, and will be
ready for occupation in about ten days, when
it will be dedicated, on which occasion, it is
presumed, grand parade of the order in this
city and Manchester will take place.

Il Suggestion A well known business
gentleman of this city has an origual, and, we
think, excellent idea to increase the prosperity
Of this vicinity by manufactures. 1t is this
That the city should purchase Bosher's dam
and all the land lying between the canal and
the river, raise the dam two or three feet, then
allow parties to establish manufactures of all
descriptions all along the site, free of charge
for six or ten years; after that time place me-
tres at the dam and then charge so much foI
the use of the water. He is confident that the
money would be soon returned to the city
manufactures would spring up, work would
be plentiful, and general prosperity would be
the result. The suggestion is worth investi
eating.
