Tlie lonpr-talki'd-of marriage! between Mr. C.'orr.eliuS Vanderliilt, Jr., and Miss Alice (iw.ypne, took plueH in New York on Monday, February 4. Loii Vie to re the hour announced for the wedding 1 o'clock the Church of the Incarnation was thronged hy the beauty, wealth, and fashion of the city. Seldom have we seen a more crowded church. Every avail able inch of room was crowded by fashion ably dressed ladies and gentlemen. The scene from the gallery was very gay. The sun, tinning through the colored glass windows, ehed a sort of hazy light over the whole church, the many brilliant colors worn by the ladies, and the incessant hum of voices, mode it seem more like a public matinee rather than a fashionable wedding. About hall-past 1 o'clock the bursting forth of tho music and the rising of tho assemblage an nounced the arrival of the bridal party. The trains of the bridesmaids' dresses were so long that one couple had to wait at the door until the other had gone some distance up the aisle. The liride wore an elegant white satin, with point lace peplums, and tulle veil. The brides maids, five in number, Misses Sherman, Gwynne, Vanderbilt, Adams, and Thompson, vore white tarletan, with very long trains. The hair was dressed very high, and orna mented with a wreath of white morning-glories, with green leaves, which went once around tho chignon, and hung below the waist. They were imported from Paris, for the occa sion, as was also tho entire bridal trousseau, which was very handsome. The reception, which took place on the same atternoon, at the residence of the bride's parents, No. 24 West Thirty-third street, was a very brilliant affair. Mr. William II led tho "German," and introduced the popular ball figure. Tho bride's presents were many, and very costly and elegant. Altogether, it was a most brilliant affair, and, tho parties being wealthy and of the first society, it created a great sensation, and a flutter in the fashionable world. Madame Anna Bishop has written a letter from Hong Kong to Mr. Henry C. Watson, the musical -critic, from which we cull one or two interesting facts. She says: "I am glad I am able to send you a photograph (taken from a sketch hy Lascelles) of our preparations for departure from the outlet of the island, and the boat in which we were packed, and in which we made the wonderful passage of four teen hundred aniles in' thirteen days, not moving scarcely from our position in tho boat. The shock is still too vivid for me to dwell on the subject. 1 go soon to Macao and Canton, return here, and leave for Singapore, Batavia, Calcutta, and hope soon to be among my kind friends in America. We have not a note of music. All lost." Mr. George Perry and Mr. J. II. Elliot h ivo liccome associated with Mr. Morris Phillips as editors and proprietors of the New York llomc. Journal. They have both been contributors to its pages for many years; Mr. Perry as literary and art critic, and more recently as one of tho editorial staff, and Mr. Elliot as a contributor of poetry, essays, sketches, etc. Tho addi tional strength thus introduced is indicated in the announcement that tho Home Journul will soon Vie enlarged. .

Mr. Williams Mr. President, I gave notice last ni.ht. at the suggestion ol some members of the Sena e. tin t I should propose an amendment to ma bill; but as I am impressed with the necessity of Its passage at this session. 1 have consulted with mem bers w ho knew, and they advised me that any amend ment to tin; bill will endanger if not absolutely defeat Us pnssHgo, I have concluded not to present the amendment which I prepared, and I think It Is my duty, under the circumstatlues, to oppose all amend ments to ihe bill, because I tUluk It uecessury that It Should pass. Although it may not suit the wishes and views of all lndivlduals,;yet, under the circumstances, it is pro bably as near to the views of the majority as auy bill we could pass, and if Senators who favor the passage or the bill will pardon the suggestion, I hope it may be put forward w ith as little discussion as benaiors think it advisable on the part of those who support it. I rhull press It to a vote as soon as practicable, and hope to secure its passage through (lie Senate by to morrow nitiht. Mr. Johnson (Md ) If the amendment proposed hy the honorable member yesterday had been adopted by the senate, it would mane the hill very much less objectionable than It would otherwise he.
