As soon as she and her 5; had placed themselves, the Cardinal pronounced the nuptial benediction. | The organ then intoned the first notes of the mar- riage mass.

There seems to be a determination in certain quar- | ters in Belgium to make this event an occasion for | covertly taunting the present French government. Some of the journals are incessantly harping upon the fact that a scion of the house of Hapsbarg has been united to a prince in whose veins the blood of Cobourg is blended with that of the Bourbons—that one of the new married couple descends from Maria Theresa, aud the other from Louis X[V. They expa- tiate on the propriety of celebrating with kingly state the nuptials of sach a high born pair. And the Burgomaster of Brussels, it will be seen, hailed their union as a guarantee of the independence of Be'gium. There is something infinitely little in this; itis sneering at the self-proclaimed “ parvena” sove- | reign of the French and his non-royal bride; it is | proclaiming a belief of the legitimacy and indestrac- tible royal rights of the Bourt , under the wzis of Austria. It betrays personal spite and fear quite as qwuch as pride. Burope has a deep interest in the preservation of Belgian independen as long as the Belgians choose to preserve a separate nationality; | but Eorope has marvellously tittle interest in uphold- | ing a Cobourg dynasty in Belgium, nor will this in- terest be augmented by that dynasty’s having ideu- tified itself with the Austrian dynasty. ‘The Belgian | throne, based on the revulation of September, may | appear a tottering seat, but it is steadiness itself com- pared with a ricketty throne propped up by the lezi- | tumist despots of Europe.

This 16 a proceeding under the act of July 1i, 1861, ea- titled ‘am act fer the better security of mechanic: and others, erecting buildings and furnishing materials therefor, in the city and county of New York,” by whioh = [peactcibeng an recover ine veel of ing bene rials contractors of a bi J belong to the defendant. os There can be no question, ssid the Judge, that the pro- ceedings under which the’ plaintiff has sought his re medy, is created by express statute, as is aloo aay liabi- lity to him by the defendant; and’ thet, therefore, the plaintiff must bring himself strictly within its reqaire- ments to obtain the benefit of its provisions. the sub- stitution of parties to the contract, such as are made by this act, by which the owner of a building is made liable for the claim of a party with whom he made ne contract, and, of whose very existence he might have been ignorant, is of itself s suflicieat reason why, for the Protection of the owner, the party asking this remedy should be held to the strict requirements of the statute. ‘The act itself is in derogation of the common law must be strictly pursued. This prinotple te well settled, (Olcott Frazier, 6 Hill, 562; Millard wa. Rebinson, 4; Hill, 604; Bussing es Bushnell, 6, Hill 382) It is contested on the part of the defendant, that the mo- tcecf claim filed with the County Clerk, is defective im three particulars, viz:—It does pot correctly state the vanes of the owners, or contractors, nor does it give the street number of the heuse. The notica alleges the buiiding is orned by William J, Decker; the proof shows that it is owned by William Deoker and his part ner Charles Bron, the notise states that the contrac tor ie Thomas Pullia; the proof shows ths’ the controvors are Thomas Pullix and William A Poyne Ia fact, the cor tract ia signed Decker & Brown, and Thomas Pullis and William A.
