MADRID, Nov. 29.-The weather had
improved in the morning to such degree
that as early as O'Clock the streets and
balconies were thronged with people and

is speaking OF the marriage OF King Al
fonso and Archduchess Maria Christine.
which would take place in the afternoon.
In the morning the bands of the regi-
ments quartered in the city played re-
veille before the Royal Palace and after
wards marched through the principal
streets. The royal wedding was solemn
lied at Atochi church according to the
programme. The bride left the Pardo
Palace in the morning for the ministry
of marine, where apartments had been
prepared for her, in which she was robed
for the marriage. King Alfonso left the
Royal Palace for Atochi church shortly
before II o'clock. He was accompanied
by Archduke Renter, and was preceded
by eleven carriages, containing his
mother, ex-Queen Isabella, the Princess
or Austnrias and other members of the
royal family, grandees of Spain and court
dignataries. The bride approached th e
church by another route. She was ac-
companied by her mother and was prece.
ded by four carriages containing ladies of
honor and court dignataries. The bride
was richly dressed in white and wore a
diadem Of prilliants and insignia of the
Marie Louise order. Troops lined the
streets through which the procession
moved. The Atochi church was splen
didly Inundated and decorated with
silken draperies. The diplomatic bodies
and Spanish 6 andees and deputation
from the senate and chamber OF deputies
received the King at the church and
occupied the nave. The bride was much
moved during the ceremony. The bene.
dietion was given in behalf of the, Pope

attendance at which is estimated at Is, 600
persons, was held opposite ST. Georae's
Hall to-day. Parnel1 fully endorsed The
speeches for which the recent arrests In
Ireland were made. He strongly denoulA
ced the action Of the government, which
he predicted would utterly fail in its OBJ
ject. The agitation against landlords, he
said, would be continued. Resolutinns
moved by Parnell and carried with en-
thusiasm, are to the effect that the arrests
are arbitrary, unconstitutional and calcu
lated to weaken the confidence of the
people of Ireland in the impartialiiy OF
the law, and that the government which
squanders the blood and treasure of the
in ffstI oh
cry and famine are unreIieyed at home,
stands condemned iu the eyes of all right
minded and thoughtful men.
