The Russian naval officers have therefore been overrun with invitations to partake of the hospitalities of the merchant princes of New’York, and have found it po easy task to accept a tithe of them. And of public Gisplays not a few have come off or are ‘still to take place. First came Mr. Eads, a citizen of St. Louis, a gentleman largely engaged in the construction of iron-clade for our government. He gave to Admiral Lisovaki and bie officers s very pleasant entertainment ‘at the Metropolitan, Then came, a few days afterwards, the presentation on board the flag vessel of compli- mentary resolutions passed by the Common Council of this city, followed by a nincnificet reception of the Russian officers, as they “1c escorted through Fifth avenue and Broadway to 1); i'y Hall, where addresses were made op behalf of th: 1 umicipality. Deputations from boston and from Baltimore have presented compli- mentary resolutions and extended invitations to visit those cities. The Common Council of New York has made arrangements for a grand municipal banquet, to take place at the Astor House next Monday evening.

Bisbop Bayley, of New. ark, New Jersey, according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. ‘The lovely bride was gracofully attired in emblems of parity, and looked charming. She is tall, very band- some, with dark eyes, dark bair, and gifted with mont affable and bewitching manners, The bridesmaids wore Mademoiselle Natalie de Loosey, the blondo and charming sister of tho bride ; Miss Ro- maine Goddard, of Washington, and Miss Kate Hi meyer, sister of the bridegroom. The groomsmen were the Chevalier Schieiden, Minister Resident of tho Huanse Towns; Baroa d’Osten Sacken, Consul Genera! of Ruasia, and Thomes Havemeyer, brother of the groom, Among the guests at the reception—of whom there were from ten to twelve hundred in continual ingress and carces— wore many fashionable and elegantly attired ladies, from the blooming maiden to the respected matron, and leaders Of the fon.
