SENATE. Washington, Nov. 27.—Illustra tive of the character of the contest now progressing in the Senate, Pat terson said, if the Senator (Mr. Ed munds) said that he (Patterson) made a bargain of that kind, he said what was not true. [Sensation.] Edmunds said it was one of the du ties of a Senator and a gentlemen to be careful in his statements. Ho re peated the statement as made in pub lic newspapers, that the Senator was under indictment for the alleged offense of having secured his election by bribery. Gordon inqured where the Senator got this information. Edmunds replied it was the com mon statement on the streets and in the public prints, one of which he held in his liand. Saulsbury rose to a point of order, and stated no charge was pending before the Senate against any Sena tor. The Senate owed it to the morali ty of this body that the scandal against a Senator should not be in dulged in on the floor without specific charges had been made against such Senator. He, therefore, thought the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Ed munds) was out of order. Tile Vice President overruled the point of order, and Haid lie did not understand the Senator from Ver mont as making charges against any Senator. Mr. Gordon said the Senator from Vermont (Edmunds) has seen lit to arraign by insinuation not only two of his former party associates, but Senators on the Democratic side of the chumber for what he was pleased to call a corrupt bargain, and, Sir, upon what evidence—upon newspaper articles, reports ami whisperings around the eapitol? Now, Mr. Brest dent, why this indirection? Sir, I wish to place tiiat Senator upon notice that if this side of the chamber or any member of tills body is to be arraigned upon such testimony, we might justly retaliate. If corruption is to be charged by insinuation and inuemlo, which I will not follow Webster in saying, is “the basest subterfuge of cowardice, of malice and of falsehood,” let it be understood that upon like evidence I might arraign that side of the chamber tor having invoked a judge upon the bench to hold the decision in a crim inal prosecution over the head of a Senator, so us to induce him to change the political course lie has pursued for the last few days. Hut, sir, I only rose to protest against such insinuations and to put that Senator upon notice that upon such evidence I could demonstrate that Republican Senators had sought to influence a judge to use his fearful powers on the bench for political ends; had sought to change the very Temple of J ustice into the altar of sacrifice, for a Sena tor who chose to vote according to the dictates of his conscience. In further illustration to beat time and exhaust Senators, so as to consent to adjournment, Mr. Ransom, of North Carolina, as the reading of the testimony was about being resumed he inquired if General M. C. Butler had an opportunity of eross-examin ing the witness. Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, who was chairman of theoommittee which inquired into South Carolina attain said the testiniony of the witness was taken down * by the stenographer, handed to General Butler, and he suggested to Merrimon, a member of the committee, such witnesses as he desired to have examined and ques tions he wished to be asked. Mr. Ransom asked if this testimony was not taken with closed doors, and if General Butler was not excluded from the sessions of the committee. Mr. Cameron replied in the affirm ative. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, solo voce, "the usual way." Mr. Ransom referred to the remark made by Mr. Hoar, which he said reached his ears, and said it was unu sual in any civilized community to have testiniony taken to damn a man and not allow him to lie present to cross-examine witnesses. Had not Mr. Corbin, the contestant of Mr. Butler, these same witnesses with him two or three weeks? Mr. Cumeron replied, that nearly all the Democratic witnesses were under indictment, and they were summoned to Columbia to attend court, Mr. Corbin then being U. 8. Attorney, for South Carolina. Mr. McDonald, of Indiana, asked if the Senator from New Hampshire would not read the testiniony of Gen. Butler. Mr. Wadleigh said lie thought it best to put in one sideof the ease first. Mr. Hoar said the Senator from North Carolina (Mr. Ranson) as sumed a style of speech unbecoming to him. Mr. Ransom—Mr. President — Mr. Hour (excitedly)—I do not yield; I have the floor. He (Mr. Hoar) must say that it was a strange tiling that anywhere where common or Christian law prevailed, outrages should lie committed, and among the members of a great party not a man was found to raise his hand to stop them. Mr. Ransom said he had the floor by the courtesy of the Senator from New York. Mr. Wadleigh—But the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) inter rupted him and then claimed the floor. Mr. Ransom, continuing — That Senator during his remarks took oc casion to first reflect upon him (Mr. Ransom) then upon the party with which he acted, and upon the section which lie loved. He desired to say, once for all, that when lie desired to beinstructedas to ivliatlwas becoming, lie trusted he should have the good sense to seek that instruction from other sources than the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar). When lie (Mr. Ransom) made the state ment, that in no civilized community a man could be condemned without an opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses, was it an answer for the Senator from that great State of Massa chusetts to say, in 110 country would such a wrong be committed ns hud been in the South. That answer was unbecoming his char acter and unbecoming the Senator from Massachusetts. Nothing pre vented him (Mr. Ransom) from using a harsh term to denounce the state ment of the Senator from Massachu setts, but the proprieties of the Senate chamber. There was not a good man in the South who had not denounced all outrages. Did it become an American Senator to throw cal umny upon eight millions of people, upon thirteen great States whose glory did not pale before that of Mas sachusetts herself? Here to-day Sena tors hud witnessed an assault made by tlie other side of the chamber upon one of their own number—one whom tlie policy of tlie Republicans put over the people of tlie South. The Republicans had hail the control of that section. They had the army, and navy, and tlie judiciary, anu now they undertook to lay their own crimes at the doors of the Southern people. If his (Mr. Ransom’s) manner was wrong or objectionable, he could not help it. He could not help his i... u. sympathized with the white people, but to hold him accountable for the outrages or murders committed there was ugainst all decency. Tlie evi dence showed that when the men wore shot down like wild beasts at Hamburg, Butler hud left the place. Mr. Merrimon quoted at length from the testimony to show that violence did not exist in South Carolina. He argued that the presence of Federal troops in the State affected the vote of that State to tlie extent of at least 10,000 votes. Again it was the Committee’s impression that all tlie negroes in Soutli Carolina voted the Republican ticket, which was erroneous. Thousands of them voted for Hampton. Mr. Merrimon then argued that there wus a eon- spiracyin South Carolina to prostitute the army of tlie United States to carry the elections there for the Republican party, and Mr. Corbin was concerned in that conspiracy. Cameron, of Wisconsin, said the Senator from North Carolina (Mr. Merrimon) was fortunate enough to get a clever Senator to pair with him last night, and now the Senator look ed as fresh as ever. Tlie clever Sen ator who paired with him stayed in tlie Senate all night, but did not vote, therefore he (Cumeron) did not pro pose to go into an argument now as the Senator (Mr. Merrimon), physi cally, had the advantage of him. He then referred to tlie testimony, and charged that there had been intimi dation and violence in South Carolina against the colored people during tlie campaign of 187(1. He spoke at some length of the rifle clubs organized in the State for tlie purpose of intimida tion. nature, but desired to say to the Sena tor from Massachusetts that when he (Mr. R.) saw a man come here, who was the peer of all, in whose veins flowed tlie blood of Oliver Perry, when he heard that bright name assailed he must defend it. Mr. Hill, of Georgia, said he desired to appeal to the sense of justice of the. Senator from Massachusetts to know wliat this discussion about the Ham- bmg trouble had to do witli the elec tion of either Mr. Corbin or Mr. But ler? Mr. Cameron of Wisconsin—Has not Gen. Butler been indicted ? Mr. Hill—He has not been indicted. He has asked to be, but a Republican Solicitor said the evidence was not sufficient. Mr. Wadleigh again quoted from the evidence before the South Caro lina committee, and said that Ku- klux outrages had not been denounced by the Democratic party. At 8:30 the fact was again devel oped that no quorum was present, md another call was made. After some delay the Vice President an nounced a quorum. Edmunds moved that when the Senate adjourned to-day it be to meet at 2 o’clock to-morrow. Again there was no quorum. The absent Senators having been summoned, a quorum finally respond ed, and various dilatory motions from the Republican side (if tlie chamber for an executive session, to adjourn, etc., were voted down. At 0:30 a. m. Mr. Wadleigh re sumed the floor, and Mr. Burnside continued reading the testimony for him until after 10 o’clock, when he yielded the floor to Cameron of Wis consin, who said the claims of Messrs, Butler and Corbin, claiming seats as Senator from South Carolina, were so blended together that one could not be discussed without the otlie He proceeded to read the brief of Mr. Corbin, claiming he had been legally elected Senator from South Carolina. At 11:30 a. m. Mr. Allison moved a recess until 1 o’clock p. m. Rejected, by yeas 21, nays 25. Cameron, of Wisconsin, resumed the rending of the brief in favor of Mr. Corbin, and continued until 12 o’clock, when Wadleigh, moved to take a recess until 2 o’clock. Reject ed—yeas 23, nays 20. Wadleigh, who had held the floor since 10:30 last night, gave notice he now yielded it. At 12:05 Mr. Hoar,of Massachusetts, who occupid the chair during the temporary absence ofjthe Vice Presi dent, said he would cull the attention of the Senate to the fact that the hour of 12 o’clock, which was the hour for the daily meeting of the Sen ate, had arrived, and in the judg ment of the chair the legislative day continued until an adjournment of the Senate took place, and unless ob jection was made it would be so con sidered. No objection being made Dorsey, of Arkansas, moved to proceed with tlie consideration of executive business. Rejected by 22 to 25. Merrimon, of North Carolina, said he did not rise to enter upon a discus sion of South Carolina affairs, as they appeared to him as a member of tlie committee of the Senate which vis ited that State about a year ago. At some future time, when the Senate should be in a better humor, he would give bis views. For the pres ent lie would merely show how en tirely false were the statements as to intimidation in South Carolina. He argued that the Republicans bad been in the majority in that State. They could do as they pleased, and did do as they pleased. The whole population in South Carolina entitled to vote was 184,943 and the whole Mississippi, asking for an appropria tion of $100,000 to enable them to move to Liberia.

How was il that persons were intimidated when nearly the whole vote of the State was polled? Moses, the Republican candidate for Governor in 1870 n ccivcd many more votes than any candidate before hud ever received He then referred to the Hamburg riot, and said the evidence before tin* Committee showed that the trouble was the consequence of a long contin ued series of outrages in Hamburg on the purt of the negroes who lived there. He refuted the charges made against Mr. Butler of being concern ed in that riot, and said Mr. Butler happened to be there, utid no doubt The pending question being upon the amendment submitted last night by Mr. Mitchell, providing that the resolution be made the special order for 12:30 i*. m. to-day, lie said the time mentioned in that amendment having passed, he would modify the same so as to make the resolution tlie special order for Wednesday tlie 28th at 12:30 I’, m. ; rejected, yeas 23, nays 28. The question then recurred in the resolution of Senator Thurman, which reads: Resolved, That the Committee on Privileges and Elections be dis charged from the consideration of the redentials of M. C.

Armstrong, Grover, Davis, of Illinois, Eaton, Rarnum, Ransom, Johnson and Maxey, who would have voted In the affirmative were paired witli Plumb, Blaine, Christfancy, Sargent, Hamlin, Ingalls, Wimlom, and Ferry, who would have voted in the negative. Immediasely upon the announce ment of the vote, Mr. Edmunds ob jected to tlie present consideration of the credentials, and under the rules they were laid over. Mr. Thurman—I move the Senate do now adjourn. Mr. Edmonds moved that tlie Sen ate adjourn until to-morrow. He in quired of the Vice President, if it should now adjourn, it being three o’clock Tuesday, but the legislative day of Monday, tlie Senate having been in continuous session, it would be to meet when? The Vice President replied, it would to meet to-morrow (Wednesday) at 12 o’clock. Thurman then moved the Senate adjourn until 8:80 to-day. The vote was first taken on Mr. Ed munds’ motion to adjourn and reject ed. Yeas 2(), nays 28. Thurman renewed the motion that the Senate adjourn until 3:30 p. m. to-day. After a brief discussion upon points of order, tlie Vice President decided under the SOtli rule the matter from which tlie Committee on Privileges and Elections had just been discharg ed must lie over on legislative day, which would carry it over until to morrow. Mr. Thurman—Does the Chair rule that if the Senate adjourns now to meet at another hour to-day, it does not begin the legislative day of Tues day. The Vice President replied he did so rule. Several Senators on Democratic side to Thurman—Takean appeal. The Vice President said the motion of the member from Ohio (Mr, Thur man), if agreed to, would violate a standing rule of the Senate, which provided the daily hour of meeting shall be 12 o’clock. After some further discussion Mr. Thurman withdrew his motion t( adjourn until 8:30 to-day, and moved that Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, be sworn asa Senator from that State. Mr. Edmunds — That matter ha gone over under my objection. Mr. Thurman—I cun make lb motion to-day—I don't ask to take i up now. The Vice President—The wliol subject matter of these credentials lies over under the objection, but tlie Chair thinks the Senator from Ohio has the right to enter the motion t( day. .Sir. Edmunds then gave notice that immediately after the reading of the journal to-morrow lie would call iq the highest matter of privileges, touching the credentials of Mr. Kel logg as reported from the Committee on Privileges and Elections.

NO BUDGET UNLESS THERE IS A RE PUBLICAN CABINET. Paris, November 27.—The Budget Committee of the Chamber of Depu ties will sit Wednesday to deliberate upon the question refusing to vote the budget unless President MucMu- hon takes a Republican Cabinet. The Chamber is expected to decide this matter Thursday. To-day’s Figaro says, should the Government dissolve the Chamber, a state of siege will only be proclaimed in the frontier provinces, and a few departments, purticufarly those where the newspapers are discussing the disposition of the army. As to the latter, the Figaro declares it even possible that a state of seige may be unclaimed irrespective of tlie ques tion of dissolution. SMALL MANUSCRIPTS. Note.—In Paris and other large cities the newspapers are discussing whether the army will support Mac- Mahon or the Republic in case of a conflict. During tlie two nights past, small manscript placards insulting or President threatening President MacMulion have been posted in various quarters in Paris. ARRESTS. The Gazette ties Tribunaux states a hundred persons were arrested yes terday for drunkenness, raising cries and insulting umi restraining the police. THE PROPOSED ULTIMATUM. Special to Ent/kirer-Sun.] Paris, November 27.—The Moni- tcur says the Right has resolved to take the initiative of bringing about a discussion of the Budget. The Min ister of Finance will take this oppor tunity to re-afflrm the ideas of concil iation and appeasement which pre dominated at the formation of the cabinet. Should the Chamber of Deputies, nevertheless, refuse to vote tlie budget, President MacMalion will draw up a message rendering tlie Senate the judge of the situation and summoning it to choose between an other dissolution of the Deputies and his resignation.

New York, Nov. 22.—A special from London says: The marriage of Henry Fitzalan Howard, tltcenth duke of Norfolk, to Lady Flora Hast ings took place yesterday moiling at the Oratory, a Cathofic retreat at Brompton, in the sububrs to the southwest of London. In many re spects it was the most imixirtnnt so cial event to the season. A vast con course of people gathered around the Oratory to see tlie celebrities enter the modest-looking edifice in which the corremonies were perfoincd. The equipage from the neighboring suburbs, including Kensington and Cbclsea, were grand in tlie extreme. Most conspicuous, was the turn-out of the marquis und marchioness of Bute. The four horses attached to the carri age were literally covered with silver TRAPPINGS, While the four attendants in light livery and powdered wigs might have been mistaken for the royal pages of Windsor cnstle. A strong detach ment of police kept the approaches closed to all vehicles except those go ing to the Oratory. The weather was cold and rainy. As the visitors arrived they were received by Monsigneur Cupel for tbe most part, and conduct ed to the chapel in which the Norfolk family had worshiped for many years past.’ The police arrangements were imperfect, and the scenes of crowding anu jostling within and without the edifice were painful. The duke has scarcely left tin- building for the past two weeks, for lie began the prepara tions for his marriage IN A VERY UNUSUAL WAY. On the 0th hist., both the bride and bridegroom began what the Catholics technically term “spiritual retreat.” The bride entered the convent in Kensington square, where Monseig- licur Cupel is director; the bridegroom retired to the Oratory, which is super intended by the well-known ecclesias tic, Father Faber. For three daystheso young people laid aside ail their worldly affairs, and devoted them selves in [meditation and prayer to the solemn consecration of their future responsiblltles und duties of slate. At the end of the "retreat," u general confession of tlie whole lives of the subjects was made, the communion administered, and the retreat ended. Usually the three days spent in re treat are tlie three days immediate ly preceding the wedding, but in this cuse the noble duke und his fair fi ance begun their preparations earlier, as one of the superiors remarked, “to secure the proper suntifleution for so profound an event in their new lives.” Tlie duke of Norfolk arrived before the ceremonies began. A LONG LINE OF DUKES, TUB Bl.OOU, Ureal Lou of Lite and Property In Virginia. Richmond, Nov. 27.—The follow ing dispatch was received here to day : Buchanan, 2(lth, via Liberty, 27th :—The river is six feet higher than tliegreat freshet in 1842. Twenty colored people were drowned in the neighborhood. The destruction of property in the town und county is unprecedented. A bridge and thirty dwellings were swept away. Many people are left without property, food or clothing. The railroad store with provisions and material was washed away. TUB. UV BOX. Meriting for Wurvlvorn, Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Norfolk, November 27.—Six sur viving seamen of the Huron’s crew added to Lieutenant Commander Green'sjiarly, which left this even ing for Nag's Head to watch the beach and‘recover bodies. These are for thc'purpoao of identifying the dead. Twenty-one dead bodies can be seen from tlie shore lashed to the main and mizzen rigging of the Huron. It is thought the water is subsiding and the vessel cun proba bly be reached in a day or two. SAILING ORDERS. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Fortress Monroe, Nov. 27.— In regard to the sailing of the Huron on Friday last in the face of a storm, as stated on Friday morning, Admiral Tram-hard signalled to Cupt. Ryan inquiring if bis druughtmun had urrived, and being answered in the affirmative, replied: “ You can go to sea when you choose.” Dead. Sr. Louis, Nov. 27.—Joseph Mar vin is dead. [Who is lie'.’—Ld.J Marchionesses and ladies had preced ed him. As he was ushered into the superior’s privateapartment, he seem ed much less a bridegroom than many of the handsome young earls and viscounts who were continually arriv ing at the postern of the retreat. The duke is short of stature and awkward of gait. But few would take him for the chief butler and the pre mier duke and hereditary marshal of England. He is u small man of that make called an inferior presence, but no one of his rank and blood in the kingdom is more distinguished for GOOD SENSE AND GOOD JUDGMENT. Although a keen sportsman und a lov er of manly games, unlike many of the English aristocracy he does not degrade them by betting or dissipa tion. On the contrary, all his efforts have been in the direction of improv ing and educating the masses of tlie people. He aids all work of charity, and contributes freely to the Catholic churches of England. It may suprise Americans to learn that, though living in one of the fi nest ducal residences of England, it would be difficult to find a man of his position, possessed of more simple habits. The duke’s mother was not ed for her large, warm heart and sweet ness of temper. The duke never has but one servunt witli him when he travels, having NONE OF THE LUXURIES OF THE AGE, And his toilet case would excite the disdain of any clerk of a dry-goods store in Oxford street or in Broadway. His life has been a life of devotion to his mother and sisters, and it is suid that this affection for them and his desire to live witli them have hither to been the only barriers to his mar- rage. With this marked devotion for bis family lie has A STRONG RELIGIOUS FEELING. He attends mass every morning at 8 o’clock, and he sometimes performs the service himself. Not a week passes that lie does not approach the Holy Communion table. In all cases of charity he personally examines tbe merits of each petition, and, if lie finds the applicant worthy, gives liberally from $5IK> to $5;000, as the occasion demands. It may bo said that, though be was educated under the tutorship of tin- celebrated Dr. Newman of spolomie fame, the Duke is neither a man of learning nor of real literary tastes, though lie gives liberally and is interested in behalf of all causes of education. What he lacks in intellectual culture is fully balanced by sound, practical judg ment. Though a devoted Catholic, and a warm adherent of the papacy, bis charity and goodness are not limi ted to Catholic institutions. In the towns of Sheffield und Arundel he lias built libraries, established chari table and educational institutions, and otherwise devoted bis time and a portion of bis annual income of $1,500,000 to the wants of the poor. THE BRIDE Attracted great attention. She wore a white satin robe trimmed witli magnificent point lace in relief, drooping chatelaine ornamented with bouquets of orange blossoms, corsage carre also trimmed with point-lace und orange blossoms, a point-lace veil adorned here and therewith orange sprays. Around her neck was u rich necklace of gems presented by the bridegroom, while oil her head was a sparkling tiara of diamonds, present ed by her father. She also wore a Sheffield necklace presented to her by the iuarqu|s of Bute, und diamond bracelets presented by tbe tenants of her husband. LADY FLORA HASTINGS Looked cheerful and dignified. She springs from some of the best blood in the kingdom. Her mother, the countess of Loduouu and tbe cousin of Lord Bute, inherits some of the most ancient baronetcies of the realm. She was married to tin- second son of Clifton of Lytliam, whose family re tained the ancient faith until the be ginning of this century, when the granil-father of the present bride apostatized. On the occasion of the marriage of Mr. Clifton with the countess of Loudoun, the name of Hastings was substituted for that of Clifton. Hence Lady Flora’s father is known as Mr. Abner Hasting’s. Immediately after the conversion of the marquis of Bute, Lady Loudoun and her daughter joined him and Monseigneur Cupel in a journey to the Holy Land, where, in' all proba bility, tin-countess obtained many of those Catholic ideas which she after wards imparted to her daughter, Lady Flora. About a year after her return from Palestine, Lady Loudoun died from a disease the seedsof which had been planted before the holy tour was begun. After the death (if her mother, Lady Flora WENT TO DONINGTON HALL, the residence of the notorious young Lord Hastings, whose career had been ended and his death hastened by dissipation. When this noble old mansion was dismantled to pay the debts of the mi fortunate lord, Lady Flora went to tlie island of Bute to stay with hoi usili, Lord Bute, and while there she formed tlie resolution to enter the CatbolieCliurch. She was received in due time by Monseigneur Cupel. Her family immediately be gan to persecute her. The trials she suffered owing totLicattitude assumed by her father threw her under the protection of the Duchess of Norfolk, who claimed ii marriage relationship through Lady Bute, the'daughter of Lord Howard, brother of the present duke of Norfolk. Out of this protec tion GREW THE HAPPY ALLIANCE formed yesterday at the Oratory'. It, is said tlie young lady’s heart was captured long before the duke asked her hand. She possesses nothing in the way of personal beauty, though her whole appearance and general de portment betray her high origin Like the duke, she has no special lit erary taste or culture, but sue inlicr ited’thc warm heart and good, pruc tical judgment of her mother. She is a sincere, “simple-hearted woman.” When tbe gas in the chapel was turned up, after au interval of partial darkness, THE SCENE WAS STRIKIN' The organ pealed forth a wedding march especially composed for tin occasion, and the acolytes marched into the spuce within tlie rails of the altar. The altar was brilliantly lit up. A coup d’eeil over tlie assembled congregation discovered some of the wealthiest and most influential per sonages in Great Britain. Most, of tbe titled ladies wore the proverbial black silk, hut there were enough bright head dresses, flowing, colored ribbons, ami shilling, scintillating diamonds to relieve the monotony occasioned by the prevalence of the black. Rich perfumes pervaded the chapel during (lie entire ceremonial. Prominent among the ladies pres ent were the marchioness of Bute; Lady Erinyntroiide Russell,daughter of the duke of Bedford; Lady Maud Grinston, Lady Dudley Stanhope, Lady Rlpon anil Miss Kirwan. The bishops of Southwark, Not tingham ami Port Louis officiated, the former intoning the first portion of the impressive ceremony. THE BRIDESMAIDS wore Lady Egidia Hastings, sister of the bride; Ladies Anna Howard and Margaret Howard, Misses Minna Hope, Josephine Hope and Theresa Hope, nieces of the Duke; Lady Grin ston, Lady Adelaide Forbes and Miss Clinton, cousins of the bride; Miss Alice Howard, cousin of the Duke; Lady Ermyntroudc Russell, and the bride’s cousin, Miss Kirwan. All the bridcmiiids wore dresses made of ivory poulc de sole, draped ivory broclie, trimmed withcardimd velvet; Rubens hats, trimmed with cardinal velvet, and cream-colored and cardinal feathers. Each iiriHemaid also wore gold bracelets, studded with pearls and ornamented with a monogram of the Duke and Duchess in pearls and diamonds, surmounted with coronets in diamonds. These were presents from the bridegroom. THE BRIDE’S TRAVELING COSTUME was superb. It consisted of a robe of sapphire Lyon's velvet, white ostrich feather, feather mull', damask-white felt hat trimmed with sapphire vel vet, and white sapphire feather. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Aimer Hastings. The best man was the lion. F. Howard, only son of Lord Howard ol'Glossop. It was especially noticed that neither the Queen nor any of the members of tlie royal family sent presents or con gratulations, although among the in vited guests at the duke’s residence in St. James’ square were the marquis of Lome and the Princess Louise. The Bishop of Nottingham ; Lord and Lmlv <>do Russell, Mgr. Talbot, Mr. Walter of the Times, Lord ami Lady Walter Campbell, Lord Bca- eonsfleld, Mgr.
