Mr.. Green's Consolidation Commission is at

what the people most Interested think about the
question of their absorption by New-York. A
dozen well-known citizenSof Brooklyn will be
asked to appear before the Commission on Mon
day. and Mr. Curtis iE invited TO speak for
Staren Island. They SHOULD all improve the OPP
portunisy to let MIR. Green and his colleagues
know their own OPINIONS on the subject, and
public opinion so f9f as they can voice it. The
question of consolidation is not primarily ques-
ton for the Legislature, but for the various
communities WHICH it is proposed to unite.

It will be observed that in the list Of the
Italian war vessels published in The Tribune yes
terday the ten batteshps are armed with 106-ton
and 11O-ton Tor II l-2-inch calibre) Armstrong
guns These are the same size guns which have
given so much trouble in the British Navy for the
last three years; in fact. they have proved
failure All naval men WHO have had any en-
perience with these great guns are agreed that
they are monstrous abortion and probably the
Italians will come to the same conclusion If they
ever get chance to fire them. They have
dropped at the muzzle," and "kinked at the
bore; they have become disabled after firing
the third round" and they have not yet been
found sufficiently strong scientifically built TO
stand the shocks. even when fired with reduced
charges In several instances also the guns crews
have been fatally reduced in number. The battle
ships themselves have been seriously damaged
from the conclusion of firing, for instance. In
the cases Of the Sanspareil the Victoria. the Blake
and others which might be named. 1t is hard
to see how any one can be found TO advocate
such big guns for war-ships. That the United
States naval ordnance experts have followed the
most sensible idea in making their largest guns
of 10 and 12 inch calibres is proven by actual
experiment. For instance. at a recent test with
the English S-inch gun the projectiles pierced
81 inches Of steel armor, and this is about the
extreme thickness of armor-belt

SIR WILLIAM HAPPY.
The Cause a Quiet Wedding at
Holy Trinity Church.
HE TAKES AN AMERICAN BRIDE.

Aftcr the Trial Sir William offered
90 Cancel His Engagement. but
Miss Carncr's Confidence and Love
We're Unshakcn by the Verdict OF
the jury.
LONDON. june 1l.--Sir William Cor
don Cumming has come out Of the bac-
carat trial better off than any one else'
despite his probable expulsion from all
his clubs, as well as from tho army.
This is the gist of public opinion. In
addition he was married yesterday to
Miss Garner, and official capacities at
the wedding were filed by representa-
tives of the aristocracy and the army.
Sir Williams denial the other day that
he was TO marry Miss Garner was Of
o piece with tho chiyalrous, spirit which,
SO far as can be discovered from! any
thing that has transpired, seems to have
animated him at all times. tic desired
10 make her release from him as easy rs
possible.
A Private Wedding.
He was married in tho fashionable
Holy Trinity church at Chelsea, to Miss
Florence Garner, daughter of the late
Commodore William Garner, Of New
York city. Lord Thurlow gave the
bride away. Maj. Vesey Dawson, of
the Coldstream Guards; was the best
man. Rev. S. Robert s. Eyton offici-
Rted.
The marriage was practically a secret
ono. Only twelve people were present
at the services at Holy Trinity. The
bride looked charmingly happy and Sir
William was proud looking, cool and
entirely self possessed. There was no
trace in his personal appearance of de-
preston or emotion from the verdict in
the court of the queens bench.
Lady and Sir William Gordon Cum
ming left this city shortly after the cere-
mony for the brilegroem's estate, Al
they will spend their honeymoon.
His Brides Confidence Unshakcn.
When tho verdict was pronounced
against him Sir William again offered to
cancel his engagement to Miss Garner,
but that lady, believing in his innocence,
would not hear OF such n thing, and in
hsted that the marriage should take
place. 1t is expected that Sir William
and his wife will visit the United States
In the fall.
Lady Gordon Cumming is the oldest
daughter of the late Commodore Garner,
Of New York, who was drowned in July,
1876, with his wife, through the capsiz-
ing of Mr.. Garner's yacht Mohawk.
In an interview Sir William sud that
he had nothing to add to what he had
said in the witness box. The popular
opinion of the verdict was shown by the
demonstration in court. Sir William
refused to say anything in regard to the

step has been taken by the italian gov
