From 400 to 500 persons formed the returning escort, and the dulcet harmony of pots and pans, of cow-horns and tin-kettles, mingled with the uproarious acclamations of the assembled multitude.The bridal party afterwards adjourned to a beer-house, and here the happy bride joined in the mazy dance with more than the agility of 16. -- Leicester Chronicle.
Deaths
On Monday last, aged 82 years, Mr. ROBERT BURNS, sen. an old and respectable inhabitant of this town.
At his residence, in Downpatrick, on 7th inst. Mr. JOHN TATE, aged 41 years.

On the 27th ult. in the 11th year of his age, THOMAS, son of the Rev. John Kerr, of Newry.
At his dwelling in Maghryhu, Parish of Raphoe, on 27th March, Mr. MATHEW RUSSELL, aged 86 years.
At Antrim, on the 9th inst. WILLIAM JOHN SKELTON MAGILL, son of the Rev. Robert Magill, in the 5th year of his age. Though merely in the dawn of existence, he evinced talents the most promising, and furnished a striking proof of the mediatorial doctrine that "out of the mouths of babes and sucklings the Redeemer perfects praise." Gifted with an exquisite voice he was enabled to sing several of the Psalms with great effect; and blessed with a most retentive memory, his attainments were much beyond his years; but the powers conferred upon him by Jehovah, are now exercised in a better world than this. He has been taken away from the evil to come by the sovereign call of Him who has said, "suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven" -- And therefore it is that he now sleeps where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest -- and; in reference to his salvation, his father has long since adopted the sentiment inscribed on a tomb-stone in England, viz. --
Bold infidelity turn pale --
Beneath this stone four infant's ashes lie.
Say are they lost or saved?
If Death's by sin, they sinned because they're here --
If Heaven's by works in Heaven they can't appear.
Reason, ah! how depraved --
Revere the Bible's sacred page, the knot's untied.
They died -- for Adam sinn'd;
They live -- for Jesus died.
M. MARTIGNAC, the well-known Minister of Charles X. who procured for that unfortunate monarch, by prudent measures, a short-lived popularity.

=====================
DARING ROBBERY. -- On the night of Friday or morning of Saturday last, the office of Mr. Richard Thompson, in Church-street, was broken into and robbed of between £40 and £50. The robber, for it appears it was done by one person, climbed up a spout in William-street, and jumped down into the yard belonging to the Police Committee, from whence he ascended a shed, by which he got into a valley that separates Mr. Thompson's stores from Mr. Gillis's, and, having removed the slates, he let himself down into the uppermost loft, and descended by a staircase to the next loft, and from that to the cellar, through which he passed to the office, where he deliberately broke open all the locks of the desks, and carried off the money.
Suspicion having been attached to a person named Thomas Wilson, who had attended masons when repairing the roof of the stores, he was apprehended, and after being interrogated for some time, he acknowledged that he was the person who committed the offence, and told where the money was secreted in his lodgings, all of which was recovered, with the exception of a few shillings. He has been committed to Carrickfergus gaol, for trial at next Assizes.
=====================
ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF ARMS. -- On Monday, Patrick Hughes, a Cutler, residing in Smithfield, was brought before a Bench of Magistrates, at the Sessions Court-house, Belfast, on a charge of having Arms in his possession, for the purpose of sale, he not being licensed. Mr. Lindsay, Chief Constable of the night watch, proved having found in Hughes' shop, on the morning of Sunday the 1st inst. a gun, a pistol, a sword, and three daggers, which were openly exposed. Hughes admitted that the daggers were his own manufacture, and that he was not licensed to make or sell arms. The Bench informed him that he was liable in a penalty of £100, under the Act of 1st William, iv. c. 44, and required him to enter into bail, himself in £100, and two sureties in £50 each, to answer such charge as might be preferred against him by the Law Officers of the Crown.
=====================
HORRIBLE CASE OF MURDER. -- The particulars of a case of murder, which occurred in Castlewellan, on Sunday week, have been communicated to us. These, from their peculiar character, cannot with propriety be submitted to the public eye. Suffice it to mention that the unfortunate victim was a married and respectably-connected female, but whose husband has been for some time absent in America. The parties implicated in the murder are the wretched woman's paramour, by whom she was enciente of twins, and a Surgeon, who attempted a certain operation, but in the progress of which the woman herself expired! An inquest was subsequently held on the body before Dr. Tyrrell, the Coroner, and a verdict of "Wilful Murder," against the parties above alluded to, recorded. -- Newry Tel.
