and Worry Mad-Foreign Items.
GONE ON THEIR HONEYMOON.


don Cumming was married at 10 this
morning in the fashionable Holy
Trinity church at Chelsea, to Miss
Florence Gardner, daughter OF tn
late Commodore William Gardner o
New York. Lord Thurslow gave the
bride away. Major Visey Rawson of
Coldstrian Guards. was the best man.
Robert Futon officiated. The mar
rage is practically secret. Only twelve
people were present at the ceremony
at Holy Trinity. The bride looked
charmingly happy and Sir William
was proud looking, cool and entirely
self possessed with no trace on his
personal appearance OF depression or
emotion resulting from yesterdays
verdict in the court OF queens bench.
The lady and Sir William Gordon
Cumming left the city shortly after the
ceremony for the bridegroom's estate
at Altyne, near Fores, in Scotland,
where they will spend the honeymoon.
At the COZ clusion of the services the
bridal party were conveyed to Middle
ton Mansion, and after the wedding
breakfast Sir WIN. Gordon Cumming
and his bride left London for the Mid
dleton country seat, Wellington House,
Pottingham. where they will pass a
few DAYS previous to continuing their
tourney to Attire, Sir Williams seat in
Scotland. where they will reside.

suit still fill the air. Solicitor Genera

argued the case on Monday, is Ill anc
thoroughly exhausted today. He has
entirely lost the use of his voice, and is
obliged to retire from any cases In
which he was retained for today.
The denuuciation of the Prince OF
Wales by the newspaper. press, and
especially his denunciation by the
Tory press. has caused tremendous
sensation throughout Great Britain,
and it is freely asserted that the reve-
lations made during the trial of the
baccarat scandal suit in court, are
Judged to have done more to ini...r,
the Imperial monarchy thar any even
which has taken place Tor many year
past IN England,
The first assertion made by tn,
Daily Chronicle to the effect, ''tha
until the Prince of Wales, ON oath
swears, as his confederates' did, tina
he, the prince, did not violate tn,
solemn pledge he gave to Sir Gordon
Cumming, he, the heir apparent, rest
under the imputation of dishonol
quite as shameful as that which thu
jury put upon Sir William Gordon
Cumming" reflects the general feeling
on the subject.
The substance of the proceeding
was telegraphed each night to thu
queen, who is now at Balmoral Castle
in Scotland, and her MAJESTY is said tx
have expressed her displeasure il
such strong terms that Truth news
paper of this city asserts that i
would not be surprised if the court o
queens bench revelations were tn,
cause of the Earl of Coventry
resigning his Office as master of he
majesty's buck hounds, or chief of tn,
royal hunt of her majesty'shous ehold
for which Office the earl dra VS. al
annual salary of $500. The queer
does not attempt to conceal the fact
that she is angry with every one con
nected with the scandal, and the
effects of the royal displeasure may yet
be felt in several quarters.
At Ascot yesterday, the Prince OF
Wales was visibly nervous until after
he received dispatch announcing the
Wilson's victory. AS soon as he was
in possession of the result of the jury't
deliberations, the prince fairly beamed
upon his friends and relatives, taking
no pains to conceal the pleasure he
felt at the result Of the verdict.

Stakes" says that the Prince of Wales
is the male head of his race. The
women of his house are virtuous, sell
restrained and reliant. The English
people, throughout the world, want
