While it was known by the polico Liero that o stay of proceedings had’ been granted, o dispateh was novertheless gent to the joilor warning him of the reported attempt to tako the criminal out of his hands, ———— A GENUINE SURPRISE. Yestordny miorning, Mr. 8, G.

Mr. Floyd thon presented 1Ir.

Marringe of tho Duke of Hamilton to Lady Montagun. Kimbolton (Dec. 10) Correspondence of the London Daily ewcn, It was at Daden, whoro his motlor, as n mom- bor of the roigning family in the Grand Duchy, principally rosides, that the Duko of Hamilton firat mot Lady Mary Montagu, who is tho cldest daughter of the Duko and Duchiess of Mauches- tor, and the acquajutanco soon duoémnnd into aficotion. Although ihia is not tho fashionable season for woddings, tho coromony was arranged to tako placo in December, and, by mutual nizmo- mont, at Kimbolton instoad of in London. Kim- bolton Caatle has been full of company for soy- oral wocks pnat, Dut the actual foles in connection with™ the marringo did -not commence until Monday, when the white all ~of the ~Castle ~ wns thrown open for nn inspection of the bride's wedding prosents, which wore so costly and g0 nimerous that an onumeration of_thom would flll columus of this journnl, Hor Mojesty tho Queen, tho Ewmperor and Empross of Germnny‘ who aro cofméetions of tho bridegroom, tho Prince and Princoss of Wales, and Princo Edward, of Baxo Weimar, all sent some valnable gitt, which will becomo heirlooms in tho Hamilton family. Sev- oral additiona have beon made to the List of com- pony which assombled at the Castle last Saturday, and thore was o goodly gathering upon the Iawn yestorday morning, whoro tho Onkloy hounds mot by special appointment. Lady Mary Mon~ tagu, who s o groat cquestrinn, Lok part in tho hunt, and ono of her bridesmaids olect. Lndy Blancho Bomersot nlso showed thnt prowess across country which sho hias inherited from tho best sportsmon of whom Englaud can bonst, Tho Dulko of Mauchoster, s Colonol of tho mounted volunteors, is {u ihoe habit of giving an annual ball to his corps, und it was srranged that this should take place lnst night, so that the Eamuxt horzemon who are to do their share in urling back the coming invasion mifbt havo an oxtrs trent, Tho ball was very brilliant, and the douciug was kopt up till noarly 4 in the morning. Tho guests, indeed, must bo almost gind that the festivitios are at an end, for tho worlk of the Iast two dnim hns beon very heavy. The wodding was ilxed for 11 a.m., 80 to time dovoted to sleop was almost nomival. 1t secmed 88 if tho whole country had dotermined to bo prosont at Kimbolton this morning, and by 10 o'clock tho stroots of this quoecr littlo town— for, with a marikat, 1supposo_one must call it o town—vore crammod with vobicles, mostly of the primitive order, . The Castla stands nt ono ond of tho stroet which lends down to tho churel, so all the in- habitants wors eunabled to witness the proces- sion, even if thoy had been unable to procura admiesion into tho chmrob itsclf, This wasn mora difiicult matter, for the building is smnli, avd tho spplications were numorous. Thoso who had beon favored with tickets took up their position in good timo, and when the cheoring outside aunounced tho arrival of the wedding party thero was searcoly a vacant place. The sun shone brightly, and, glsncing athwart one of the atained-gluss windows, 1t lightod up a vory taste- fully decorated chancel, devoid, howevor, of those ritualistic ornaments which turn & *' com- munion-table™ into an “altar.” u 'I'ho Duke of IHamilton, accompanied by the Daron de Tuyll, who ncted as best man, was the fivat to arrive, and the gentlemen among tho Castlo guosts wero not far behind. While the bridegroom was kneulinq in prayer, a loudor shout told us of the bride’s coming, and sho en- torod the church leaving upon lor father's arm. The Duchicss of Humulton (Dowager wo must nowadd), who bad traveled over from Badon- Baden, cutered tho church “with Lor daughter, the Duchosso do Valontinois. Tho coremony, always impresgive through its very simplicity, was all the more 8o to-day, becauso there was no adventilious sid in tho shape of music and eho- ristora; morely tho grand old service of tho Church of ¥ngland, read by the Rov. F. O, Hopo-Grant, Vicar of “Kimbolton, ns- sisted by Dr. Young, tho Rector of Till- brook, The bride was in white, with a veil of Drussols laco and a profusion of orange-{lower— cela va de soi, Her fourbridesmaids wore Ladies Louisa and Alice Montagu, who are ior younger sisters ; Lady Florenco DMontagu, daughter of the Earl of Snndwich, and Lady Blanche Somer- sot, deughtor of the Duke of Beaufort, Loud were the huzzas a8 the newly-married pair, after theusunl vestry formalitics ind been got through, aud thoy had walked down tho gisle man and wifo, entered the carriage on thoir way back to the Castlo, whither they wore BYuudily followed by all the guests and many of the noighboriug nantg who had been invited to the ccremony, ‘I'ho Dulke of Manchester, wishing that every- body should have & share in the festivities, gave ordors thint the grounds of the Castlo should be thrown open, and a compact crowd gathered upou the Inwn and walks, A dejeuner was provided for 200 guosts in part of the tent which hind Dbeenr used “as A ballroom the Yrovious night, and hore, in addition to the par- y etaying in tho house, most of the principal tonauts and their wives assembled to drink the usual wodding tonsts. Tho joy-bella were ring- ing morrily, and the sun shous bright and clear, At o quarter to 8p.n. o special train was timed to leave Kimbolton for the Duko of Ham- ilton's seat in Suffolk, and, though fi:tling mto o trin immodiately after ono's_ wodding muy ap- pear toindicate dissatisfaction with one's lot here on eartl, the risk continues to bo run, About 2 o'clock & squndron of the mounted voluuteors, looking remarkubly well in their scarlot tunics, drew up in front of the Castlo gato, rendy to og- cort tho bridogroomand bride to the station, which is cistant full two miles from the town. Au open barouche with four horses and postillious was ready to recoivo them, and €o, with many fond wishes from a loving fumily, and the not mercly formul plaudits of tho nssembled crowd, the Duchess of 1famlton, as_we must now call her, took her placo with tho Duke by hor sido. One 'moro cheer, and the escort rattles down the streot and the carringe disappears out of sight. The primitivo station of Kimbolton was nlso n coutro of attraction, and as the Duko and Duch-~ css of Hamilton had beon sufliciently stered at for the Jast fow hours, it must haye been a ro- Tiof to thom when the slgual was given, and the & u&)ceinl " gpeeded on its way toward Cam- bridgo and Wickhum Market. The first fort- night of their honoymoon is Lo bo spent ut Eas- ton Park,which s nndergono great niterations, and it is their proecnt inlontion to pass tho Christmns week at Kimbolton, Aftorwards thoy procoed in the Duke's steam yacht, the Thistle, to Egypt; and Lord Mnandevllle, tho oldest son of the Duke of Manchestor, who, we regret to #ny, is in somewhat indifferont hoalth, will prob- ably nccompany them. Kimbolton is doter- mined to cu}oy itself very thoroughly, forneatly evory house will illuminato to-night, and it will searcely subside into ity wonted quiot Lefore tho smnll hours of the morning. “I'lie wedding has also Leon colobrated on the Dulie's Scottish extates with great eclat, A ball was given in the Assombly Rooms ot Iamilton Iast night to 600 peoplo, aud this afternoon tho tenantry on the IHamilton aud Kinniel estaton ware to bo entortained at a grund banqueb iu tho riding school of the Duke's palaco. —_— Fighting tho Ashantees in the Bush, Corresyondence uf the Londan News, Dang, bang, bang, roll after roll of smoke, and all got In{o_tho- strangest, most woird, und most confused of things—a bush-fight with in- visible onomics, Our good Houesas (Muhome- tans) holl na mon need bo, ave wild also.
