F.rciting Scene in Church: .Uurri'i'je Ceremony interrupted. From the Limcaster Fx press of Wednesday. A scene ol the wildest excitement occurred I last overling at St. James' (Episcopal) Church, in tins city, which for a time threatened to be very serious in its consequences, it having he come generally known that the marriage of two young ladies, both highly esteemed and enjoy- ' ing n:i extensive circle of friends arid acquain tances was to take place in the church, the one at seven and the, ther at eight o'clock, an unu sually larg" congregation <;ol lei ted to witness the ceremonies. Long'before the hour named tor the first marriage, the church was crowded to its utn -t capacity. The pews, galleries and stairways and vestibule, were packed full, of men women and children, and by the time :he bri dal party arrived many persons \v> re unable to gain admittanc *, who subsequently collected at llm windows Oil tile street. The appearance of Mr. Fisher and Miss Dii!- er, at about 7 t oYI ek, was th" ■ gu.il for a gen era! and disgraceful scrambfe fur available po.si ti ins lor witnessing the ceremonies. Many of ; those present appeared to have no regard fur their own decency or the sacred character of the house. They stood on the feats and even scrambled on the backs of the pews, the specta cle presented being more like what is sometimes seen it) a theatre than we ever witnessed in a church. A mid this don fusion the solemn and impressive ceremony was commenced by Rev. Jacob VV. Dilier, brother of the happy bride; but before its conclusion the confusion was re n wo d in consequence of many persons becora i: g alarmed v the breaking of a bench in one of the galleries which they supposed was the gallery itself giving way under the weight upon i he ceremony lying over, fhe hridal paify had scarcely retired from the church, when afi old bench which had formerly been carried into the organ gallery gave wav under the weight of: those standing upon it. S.m.e person in thegal -1 lery cri-d cut that the gallery was ikilitgr, and • general stampede-commenced in all parts of the church.

We give however what he says about the Singular Discovery. Some of our readers will remember that sev eral years ago, a man named Walker while at work on the highway, a few rods below the distillery, lost .1 cr I rin the fallow ing singular • rr.at.n. r. He v.as endeavoring to loosen :.orf!e !.,irp .<! ■ 1 s thai apt eared to be firmly imheded in H:" t ad, between which he struck a heavy blow with the j ,int <ft: e bar, when to his sur prise jt slipped from his hands and passed out lis r-ach, into .1 cavity below. There has long bee is ,j t*.. that the sharp bluffs oft either side of !?'.< ia\ j.i. , were connected by a -übt.'ir.niean j . -,.gy. und* r the bed of the creek; and that the j ;<;,:•• I. • been used as a means of'security and d. Ivr.ce in time of danger by the people, who construct 11 it but what manner ol people they •re was unkt:own to thi gen t*ru!:f>r%. The circumstance created considerable excite tnent at the time, but no s< 1 ious attempts were made to recover the missing crowbar, because it would int- r.'e: * with the highway. But the sp-.t was vi.dted by most of the village savans, and a variety ol opinions were ventured .ypon,. touching the subterranean passage, and its prob able uses anri belongings. At ienglh, however, the circumstance was forgotten, or only occa sionally ailu b'd to by the wonder-loving story tellers o! the town. Yesterday afternoon, however, while two boys were at plav, about ten roils West of the road and near the margin of the creek, they dis covered a hole in the ground nearly large e nough to admit the body of a man. It excited their curiosity to such a degree that they thrust iong poles into it,but coujd not touch the bot tom. Thev immediately made the circumstan ce known to three laborers at work near the lower mill. S me lights ar.d rope were soon procured; the iiole was enlarged, when two of "he nil and one of the boys were let down in to the cavil-.. They descended about thirty feet before thev struck bottom, when they found themselves in a subterrai>an passage, running nearly east and Wi st, and about I went \-five feet wide, it war built "( coarse, unhewn stone, but of a different quality from anv known to exist in this vicin ity. The cone we 1 e laid in a dark and very t nacrous cement, curl the whole work was very handsomely done. The floor was nicely hewn lirnestor.e like E Ist man's quarry, and were prob ably hr ught from it. The day was so far ad vanced t! at little was dune toward an explora . tion of .this singular work; but discoveries that were made were verv important, and may lead to :i solution oi° the mystery. The explorers on going eastward about thiitv rods, came upon a huge square or court, which was estimated by them to be about fifty feet in diameter. In this court th>-v l.i.md the following articles, which will doubtiess ieiid to further im{)ortant discoveries. Several bundles • f arrows and many hundreds of bows of hickory, -o massive ami indexible that iii-ilto r of the men could bend them. Sixty two stands of lire-arms, oflhat descrijw tion commonly known in military parlance as ♦♦blunderbuss." and w ere in general use in the reign of Louis XIV", of Eunice. Their locks showed them to be of French .Manufacture, as they bore the impression of the French coat-of aritis. Their stocks were much decayed and fell to pieces on (he slightest touch. The bar rels were of" brass and covered over with a very thick coat of mingled mould and verdigris. Eleven rusty and much battered swords were found, without scabbard or mountings of any kind. Their hilts were of elaborately carved bone: but thev do not exhibit nice workman slop, and they aie totally void of inscriptions of any kind. An lion bar, supposed to lie the one lost by Walker some thirty vears ago. li was broken about three inches irons the tip. It is five leet one inch in length and weighs twenty-three pounds. Nineteen sauce pans, eight copper 1 rollers, and on" hundred and ten iron goblets were found distributed about the room in entire disorder, leading one to conclude that some feast or fes tival bad been broken up without ♦'previous no tic-.''
