The Princess Alice ‘was married quietly at Osborne, the bereavement to the ‘wayal family occasioned by the death of the Prince Con- mesh rendering any other than the most private ceremo- smia) undesirable, THS PRIVATE CHAPEL AT WINDSOR, ‘Im accordance with the expres wishes of the Queen, the marriage ceremony of the Princess Helena, celebrated to-day, was performed in the private chapel within the castte walle at Windsor, This apartment in the castle was constracted during the present reign as a private piace of worship for the royal family, It is small, neat, and devoid of ostentatious ornament, Its shape is nearly nameless, It would have been sexangular had not twe wifes been thrown into one, with a recess in the centre. Vhis recess #8 devoted to the altar, Above the chancel che light of heaven, subdued and soft, steals in through a gothic window. Not enough steals in, however, to suffl- ciamtly iluminate the chapel without the aid of the arti- fledal sight in the roof which shed a dim, religious halo on te scone that transpired below, Opposite the commu- ign table two gallories, which, as the wallsare angular, geem Ifke four, aro constructed round the chapel, In to afford accommoaation for those who had been m to the marriage,’’ these galleries had been ex to the front two rows of seats, by a temporary ‘strecicre. ‘This was faced with crimson cloth, @imged with gold, and hung with heavy tassels, the panels being ornamented with wreaths of fresh flowers ‘ahernating with floral monograms formed by a fanciful fmterlacing of the initial letters, C. and H., of the bride and bridegroom.

I front of the chancel ralis were two seats for the bride and bridegroom. A beautifal gilt chair at the angle of the recess was designated ‘or the Queen. Upon every scat in the chapel was placed an elegant!y printed copy of the marriage service, impressed im gold, and bound in white, wito watered silk. Also the Sixty-seventh Psalm and the corals, printed in blue on embossed lace paper, @rnamented with numerous devices in a variety of ‘brit: Mant liue-. These were retained by the guests as souve- mire of the occasion. THE MeRPIACE DAY AT WINDFOR, There was liitle popular display in Windsor, and none fm London. The Mayor of Windsor bad proclaimed a general lay, and accordingly most of the shops were closed. @ townspeople im considerable numbers, jotned by some visitors from London, appeared in the streets, which, however, were not crowded, The “arket Place and the Town Hall were cuief among the buildings decorated. Some of the private houses, especially of those aiong the princ pal streets, were also festooned with flags, and preparations were being made on some of ‘them for ‘lium!nations in the evening. The bells of St. John's and St, George's aunounced with joyful peals the approaching marriage of the Princess, But as all the jon and cereraonies were conducted within the astlo walls Were was no opportunity for any demonstra- Pha by the populace.

He charged the government with a desire to create unnecessary delay, and demanded the cavse, Mr. Galt replied that the government proposed to ma- terially modify the Tariff, a Mr. Holton asked to be informed of the proposed modification. Mr. Galt mentioned them in detail, and they included serious alterations in three-fourths of all the items in the Tariff. Mr. Holton then opened upon the whole scheme in an able speech, showing the absurdity of the posttion of the government in proposing a project so vast in its import. ance to the country and announcing wholesale modifica- tions in nearly every part of it before a single item had been discussed. He satirjcally demanded why the Finance Minister so suddenly abandoned bis European system and spoke favorably of the American protective tariff, allesing it to bo what Canada most requires. He said Mr. MeGivern had more reason than ever to bo proud of his amendment, which the government could take all the glory of defeating, and that he believed sich @ motion more necessary than ever. Mr. Rose, who spoke in favor of the amendment and singularly voted against it afterwards, said a few weak words in reply. Mr. Hoiton disposed of them by saying that an evi- dence of the value of his arguments was go recently fur- nished that it was difficult to know what he meant. His words w re one thing and his vote another. H» then scathingly said that whatever his argument might go for, he could not inform the House of the price of his vote, or of such votes as his. (Laughter among the op- position.) Whea Mr. Holton concluded silence ensued for some moments, \A response from ir, Rose was evidently ex- pected, but none was attempted, and Mr. Galt went on to show the reasons for the alterations announced, The debate 1s now in progress, and it is evident the opposition memb rs are weil prepared for the contest. Already they claim the alterations as concessions to their views, by which the government hope to prolong their power, but whether they can or not, even by the sur- render just announced, is very doubtful. The whole matter will probably be disposed of to- morrow. The opposition seem to have been partially quieted by the lar:e concessions made to them, which certainly amount toa crash of the government and a complete triumph for the liberals.

There is a desire on the part of the govern- ment to smother up this matter, which Mr, Chambers is determined to explode, Mr, McDonald charged Mr, Wright to-day with giving out bridge contracts as (he price of his support to the government. Mr, Wright replied that ho had documents which showed that the bridges were contracted for before the present governmont came into office, > Mr, McDonald read miputes which showed that bofore that time the works Worg Tianthorized. Mr, Wright sad, orders in Council were his authority, which McD*nald denied.

He used to buy the members like beasts in the market, As for the present government, he said that itdid no more than ordinarily to make and maintain ftself, Willian Dawson was bought like beast in the market, though he was as good a Roman Catholic conservative as any in Lower Canada, * Mr. Ryel said he was now confirmed in his opinion of the conservatives, and that if he bad said that of Mr, Dawson it would not have been believed. Mr. McDonald denied all tho charges of the Attorney Gencral, and said there was much more reason to say that his rity were both bo ght and chained like beasts. jeepised any characier the Attorney Gencral would attempt to give him.

Mr. Powell regretted the discussion, and th it it not of a nature to clevate the character of the House, He believed Mr. Mci)onald always had his own interests in view, He thought Mr. Me! had uo rightto charge corruption on the government.

Upon hailing them, they mado an effort to The officer then drew his revolver and dis- charged it at them three times, They abandoned their boat and managed to escape. In searching the boat the officer found $111 in penmes, which it was sul juently discovered had been stolen from the office of the Houston street Ferry Company. A large amount of pennies were left in the office, and it is saat the thieves were about to return for their load when they were discovered by the officer. ‘Two Patent-Sare Game OreRaToRS Commrrrep To AWAIT ‘rae Acrion oF THe GRAND Jury.—The patent-safe game has been carried on to a considerable extent in the suburban sections of Brooklyn, and the operators {who are in the habit of fleccing the verdant are rarely if ever caught. Yesterday, however, two of these nimble Oingered gentry were up before Justice Cornwell to answer a charge of larceny from the person of Benjamin Haris, a verdant Canadian, The names of the accused are John Parker aud George Stephens, The complain- ant Harris testified that he came to New York en route to Canada, met Parker on the 9th of July at Page’s Hotel, in West street, New York. Parker induced him ‘o go to Brooklyn, and in a Jane in the suburbs they met George Stephens. Parker asked him what new invention he had, and he re- plied that he had a shell which. would. throw Greek fire, The patent was shown, which of course was tho patent-safe which has frequently been described. Harris was solic.ted to bet, but refused, when Stephens finulty stole his pocketbook, contatuing forty-eight dollars, aud made off with it, He was was about to follow when Parker peked up a stone and threatened to knock bis brains out in case he attempted to pur- sue them. Harris secured the services of Serseant Casler, of the Fiftieth precinct, and the accused wer taken into custody. They then attempted to settle the matter in the street, and handed over the pocketbook to Harris. On looking over the money he found that only $13 had been returned. The officer told them they could not settle the cave there. After taking them to the station house he went back and found a roll of coun- terfeit gold pieces which Parker had thrown away, Jude Cornwell commited the accused to await the action of the Grand Jury. A Manpamus Aaainst MayoR Boora.—A motion was made yesterday before Judge Gilbert, in the Supreme Court for a mandamus to compel Mayor Booth to sign a warrant for the sum of $7,600 in favor of F. H. Dufl, which sum was claimed to be due for repairing the streets, It appears from the argument that Mr. John F. Barret had several contracts with the city. At his death there was a balance duo him from the city of the above amount. Mr, Duff appeared and claimed the amount on the ground that be was a partner of the deceased, and had completed the contracts. His bill for tho amount was audited, and the Comptroller mode ont a warrant and gigned it. The relatives of the deceased denied the alleged partnership, and begeed the Mayor not to sign the docum:nt.

Slight Increase in the Number of Cases— Persons in the Filthy Wards Principally Attacked—Possibility of Special Cholera Hospitals Being Shortly Used—No Epidemic— Cholera on the Islands—Continued Increase of Cases in Brooklyn—The Mortality for the Week Ending Yesterday 1,129, &e. There is no doubt that the cholera is assuming a graver aspect every day, and if the warm weath- tinues, the ‘possibility is that we may have the disease in an epidemic form despite the efforts of the Health Board to prevent it. Tho eanitary officers are endeavoring to stamp out the disease by thorough disinfection, but unless this is done without regard to cholera cases more victims will bo found. The whole fact is that the disinfecting proccess is not of a suilicient- ly general nature to insure a continued suppression of the discase, No sooner is it ‘stamped’ out in one locality than it breaks out in an- other. A house will be thoroughly disinfected and freed from cholora, but as the next premises are left in their usual filthy condition the chances aro tha tho germ of the disease is driven by the purifying chemi- cals into that very building, and thus we hear of cascs in adjoining houses, WAT SHOULD BE DONE. It is believed, even by the health officers, that, could the filthy localities be thoroughly purified, the Metro- politan district would positively escape an epidemic. It seems, then, that the only way to bring about such a desirable result is to commence with a wholesale system of disinfection. Thousands of dollars are being spent by tho Health Board, which, if used for the purpose men- tloned above, would be of more avai} than in the man- ner it is now being spent. It is very evident that some cases actually occurring are not reported to the public, At the same time there is no doubt that all cases made known to the sanitary officers aro duly placed upon the public bulletin for the mformation of the press, Still, as has been remarked before, sanitary officers should not wait until applied for. A committee should be appointed for each ward to inspect evel building in it, and order disinfectants, if such are needed. It will be sheer folly for us to wart until tho disease as- sumes an epidemic form before extraordinary measures: are taken. Now is the time, and now the Health Board is cailed upon to do that which it was principally ap- pointed to perform—prevent the cholera from assuming an epidemic form. The Sanitary officcrs appear to be doing the best they can, but they are not humerous enough, and have not sufficient resources at hand. In cobnection with the above, committees mixht be or- ganized for tho purpose of going from house to house and. examining into their sanitary condition. In other times: of epidemic diseases such orranized bodies performed valuable services in this and dther cities, and they would donbtless greatly facilitate the suppression of the cholera at the present time. THE CAUSES OF THE CHOLERA. As was mentioned in Fr.day's Henan, scarcely a case of cholera occurs which is not inflaenced by local causes, The mere inhalation of the poison 1s compara- tively harmless to those who adopt strict sanitary regu- lations; but, unfortunately, even with the knowledg» that a dreadful scourge is atnong us, the people display an absoluto disregard to the dictates of prudence. Thay will not appreciate the ‘act that there are many kinds of food which, though nutritious in other timeg, are positively dangerous when a commu- nity is threatened with an epidemc. Be-ides, it seems utterly impossible to compel the wretched denizens of the tenement houses in New York and Brookiyn to keep their premises in good order. There aré dozens of streets in both cities from which an effinvia arises that would of itself engender a terrible discases, Not only are the streets of th mselves ina bad conditivn, but the odors coming from the houses on either side are of the most sickening and disgusting nature, CHOLERA CARES YESTERDAY. The followmg are the number of cases reported yes- terday in this city: Robert Mott (colored), aged 8 years, living at No, 2 Mechanics’ alley, was taken ill on Friday with symp- toms of cholera, and died at two o’clock on yesterday morning.

Numerous other cases of supposed cholera wore re- ported, but they had not been verified last night. ‘THR BATTERY WARRACKS, Orders were issued yesterday by the Health Board to get in readiness the Battery Harmoxs, Ho-pital for the reception of patients, This bas caused considerable un- easiness among the people in the vicinity, who assert that they will have (0 close their piaces of business in the event of the hospital being used for cholera pur- poses. The men employed on the s°a wall have also de- Glared that they will quit their work in the same event, A meeting to protest against it 1s calied at four P, M. to- day, in the vieinity.

About six o’clock Inst evening the building situated on the northwest corner of Hamilton avenue and Van Brunt Street was seized by the Sanitary Superintendent, Dr. Conkling, for a cholera Lospital. Beds which arrived during the day were placed in the building, and a body of men were sot to work in cleaning and making the arrangements necessary for the object for which it is in- tended. The building was formerly known as the Ham- ilton Market, but more recently as_the cracker bakery. It is built of brick, two stories high, with good cellar underneath, is well ventilated, and being contiguous to the Sixth ward it is deemed doubly advan- tageous in location, in case of necessity, as serving for both wards, The people living m the neighborhood are much incensed at this action of the health authorities; and fora time last evening, so strong were their denun- ciations and threats to destroy the edifice rather than have such an outrage perpetrated against what they consider their personal rafety, there being no epidemio in the immediate vicinity, that a section of police, under Captain Rhodes and Serzeant Meeks, were sent down from the Forty-third precinct station house to protect the property and muintain order, No disturbance oc- curred, however, A pelitiov, numerously signed, ia about tobe presented to the Mayor, prayiog his intere ference in remonstrance to the occupancy of the build- ing. for such purpose. it A case “a ne was reports’ last, hep rae” Wil- jamsvurg, by Dr. Morgan, @ patient is Mr.@.unred, of No, 18 Johnson street. 8s An old woman nained Purcell died at seven o'clock on Friday evening, witout medical attendance, She lived in ashanty in ‘Sul.ivan street, near Van Brant; was one tirely destitute and alone ‘The body was still unburied last evening.

Tho match played between the above named clubs yesterday afternoon, on the Star Ground, at Brooklyn, resulted in the defeat of the Active Club by one run, ‘The game opened very handsomely, both s:des securing six runs in the first innings by really exce!ent batting, The Active Ciub played at a great disadvantage, as the crowd of urchins would interfere when an opportonity occurred to mar their fielding, despite tho efforts of the Star Club to preser’ “strict neutrality,” Some very bad missplays were made, however, and one especially in tho sixth, where’ a failure by Ebbitts to stop a groand ball at short stop led to the scoring of six runs by the Star, which eventually won thegame, The Star Club went in on their sevent innines and made el runs after the first striker had been handsomely cau at left field by Vanderwerken, In consequence of th ess the game was called bes fore one-half the seventh junings lad been played, avd the game thus went back on the sixth innings, Mr. Dakin, of the Exeelsior Club, officiated as umpire, and although it must be presumed that he desired to act im- partially, yet three decisions given by him against Active Club must undoubiediy have been errors of judgment, and wero such as to lead to expressions of astonishment by a large portion of the assemblage.
