Mobile, Ala, 5th instant, to the Memphis

"The nuptials of Mr.. c. B. Bryan, of
Memphis, and Miss Anna Semmes, of this
city, were celebrated here to day at the
residence Of the brides father, Admiral
Raphae! Semmes, the renowned commander
of the late war-ship Alabama. The rites
were soiemnized by Right Rev. Bishop

of relatives and a small circle of friends. A
reception was then held from 123 to o'clock
in the afternoon, during which time the
nuptiai hall was thronged with the elite
of Mobile-with fair women and gallant
men. And this hall-it was beautiful, de-
corated and festooned with every variety of
flowers offered by this soft and howery
cline. Suspended from one side of the
bridal hall to the other was the large, rich
and magnificent Confederate flag, of the
costliest material and most exquisltely en-
broidered, which was made and presen ted
to Admiral Semmes by the ladies of London,
while commanding the Alabama. Beneath
this solemn, beautiful and historic emblem
the marriage vows were taken General
Gordon, of Memphis, and Miss Maud Bal
the guests was the distinguished Father
Ryan, the poet and orator. The bride was
superbly attired, and her appearance was
truly regal she seemed not only the pri d Q
of the exultant bridegroom, but of all who
came to greet and bid her be happy. After
a Thousand blessings from kindred, and as
many congratulations from many friends
the bridal party left for Clarksville and
Nashville by way of New Orleans.

the following important communication to
the London Standard -
| The correspondent of the Standard, writ.

on the authority eff the GasSett0 d'ItaIa q
statement made by the correspondent OF
of the Daily NeTs on the Ilth December OF
last year, to the effect that, during my Wis

Vatican scheme respecting the line OF
conduct to be pursued in England In the
event of q struggle with the English Coy
ernment.
This statement in the Daily Nescs in
staDtly coptradicted, declaring that no
such shceme whatsoever had been submit
ted by me But your correspondent say o,
"Cardinal di Pietro was meanwhile declar-
ing frankly, rs the Gdsetfa d'Italia to day
tells u.s." that ~ had submitted to the Sa-
cred Penitentisry various questions regard
ing the eventuslity of an anti Catholic
struggle excited in England by the public
atoms of Mr.. Gladstone"
No questions were submitted by me to
the Sacred Penitentiary on the subject al
legged, or on any other subject whatsoever.
By the post of tonight letter Of inquiry
will be sent to Cardinal di Pietro, who
must DO intended by your corrresdondent,
to obtain the necessary information, which
shall be duly forwarded to You.
l take this opportunity of calling your
attention to the correct report of the words
used by me at the opening of the Univer-
atty College at Kensingtop, and referred to
by your Roman correspondent. They were
as follows Ut is quite true that o COM
mission has been laid on me to carry on q
warfare. I believe the Church is approach
ing crisis, the most fiery trial it has past
for the last three hundred years. We shall
all be tested, each one in his own place. /
hope we shall not be found wanting"
need hardly point out to any English read
er that the words 'fery trial" are taken
from Holy Scripture, and have 40 relation
whatsoever to wars or European COLLECTS,
or hostile action against Italy or any other
people. This abuse of my words would
appear to me malicious if your correspond
ent had not referred to the Opinione as his
authority. l am too we'll accustomed to
tie reciprocity of Misunderstanding among
English and foreign newspapers to ascribe
the articles of the Opinione to any wilful
misinterpretatiop. OF the rest of your
correspondence lengthy communication
thiDk the readers of the Standard will feel
with me, that it cannot be treated seriously.
The reassertion, with aggravating cir
cumstances, of q mis- statement already
publicly contradicted seems to me to de-
mand renewed exposure not SO much for
nay own sake as for the sake of those who
may be misled by such mis- statement,
fraught, it might be, with public conse-
Quences so especially mischievouB.

The Secret Papal Delegate, for whom
Prince Bismarck was looking out, has ap-
peared actually in Posen, and from the altar
declared the Major decentralization
against fallen priest. We may imagine no W
Bismarck will fume under the mental sti-
mulus of the fact that his police are not able
to catch this daring official of the Vatican,
for he has disappeared as mysteriously as he
came. The relation is to be found in these
words, from a Special Correspondent
of the London Register:
"lf there have been doubts about the
existence of q secret Papsl delegate, we are
now perfectly convinced OF it. On the ii tn
of this month, when the congregation was
assembled at tue parish church at XVIII, a
strange priest appeared and pronounced
| solemnly, 10 the name of the Pope, the
great recommendation ofProvost Kick, one
OF those unfortunate priests who were DISC

functions were declared void, and the par
ishioners warned against having any inter
course with him. This announcement made
great impression on all those present,
and scarcely had they recovered from their
astonshment when the strange priest dis

in which he had comet"

John G. Breckenridge was not without

which Milton tells us is "the sublime in
fiTmity of noble minds" "He tasted of the
