The lads and lasses were all in uniform. Major Moore, the head of tho array in America, presided. The occasion of the meeting was the halle lujah wedding of Capt. Mary Ann Jolly, of Trenton, to Capt. Samuel Rainey, of New York. The mayor and other city officials had been invited, but did not com'". Capt. Jolly had her salvation bonnet tied down and trimmed with a red frill. She wore a knot of flowers at her throat and a continual blush on her attractivo face. Tho exercisos began with singing and prayer, with which continual shouting was mingled. About every live minutes somebody would say: "Oh, what a jolly time we are having." Theu everybody would laugh, and Capt Jolly wAild blush more than ever. Once in a while the enthusiasm ran so high that the soldiers had to stand on tho benches. After an hour and a half of singing and shouting, tho two captains who were candidates for matrimony stood up, one on each sido of Major Moors. A gray-haired lass with spectacles stood by the bride. A little (oldief whoso chin reached only to Capt. Romeliss's shoulder, but whose Ci..u»a»iasin touched t.he coiling, was groomsman. Two soldiers waved salvation banners "ver the couple.

Tho resolution, Mr. Townsend says, is meant to place the president of the United States upon an equal footing with tlio administrations of foreign gorernuaents who have prohibited certain classes of American products from landing on their shores. Ottawa, Dec. 10. — ■'[ have never liad a better bthavfcd prisoner under my oliargo than Stephen Dunn, who is held for murder," remarkod. Gov. Kehoe, of the Ottawa jail. Dunn is an American and has been in jail for about two years.

Cole's circus, which left Ottawa the night of Aug. U for Brcckville. Nearly one mile this side of where Fletcher's body was found a colored man, named Silas Curry, also an employe of Mr Cole, I;ail been kuocked off tho train and severely injured. He stated that Dunn was tho man who struck him, and also that it was Dunn who killed Fletcher. Curry laid a complaint against Dunn, who, on the cbargo of assault on Curry and on a chargo of having murdered Fletcher, was arrested at Halifax and brought to Ottawa for trial. Oil the evidence of Curry, who was a most worthless character, having been convicted nine times for felony, Dunn was sontcnccd to one year's imprisonment for assault, although the general impression at the time was that ho was not guilty. At tho time Dunn stood his trial there were several other criminal eases before tho court, cue being tho murder of an old man namtd Wetherall, tho parties charged with tho several crimes having been acquitted. Indignant at tho administration of criminal justice, tho press throughout I he country denounced both judge and jury, which, appearing just at the moment of Dunn's trial, certainly more or less influenced the jury in returning their verdict in Dunn's case. Dunn, who had for several years been employed by Mr. Cole, was one out of fi»e men ths latter brought back with him from his Australian tour, which is an evidence of tho good character he bore. Although Mr. Colo sent on other witnesses to give evidence in Dunn's favor and retained counsel hero for him, the jury had received a reprimand w hich they were bound not to forget, and Dunn, being the next victim to appear before them, wasacriflced that they might receive no mort rebukes. Dunn asked "tiiat his k rial for th murder of Fletcher might be brought on at once, which the crown prosecutor opposed, and it was consequently put off until the spring session. Without means Dunn was unable to procure his witnesses when his trial was called in tho spring, Mr. Colo having declined to niako any furher advances. Owing to the absence of witnesses, Dunn's counsul moved that the case be enlarged until th»fall assizes of 18S2. Although Dunn heard of the whereabouts of one of his witucsses, being without money he was unable to pay tho expense of tho witness, which was demanded, and thinking possibly Mr. Oole might further assist him his counsel moved, when the trial was called at tho fall assizes, that a further postponement be allowed until the spring assizes of 18S3. The court granted the postponement of the trial on tho understanding that if tho crown attorney was not ready to go on with the trial in the spring that Dunn should uot claim his right to a discharge. The spring assizes of 1883 came, and the crown stated that they were not prepared to go on with tho trial. A further .adjournment was made until the fall assizes. When tho fall assizes cams on, although Dunn had secured no further assistance from Mr. Cole, he stated that he was prepared to go on withuut witnesses, which was objected to once more by the crown, who claimed a further postponement until the spriug assizes of • 18b4,' as they had ascer Earned the whereabouts of a new and important witness against Dunn. To this the court gave its consent, sjating, however, that if this witness was nofproduced in the spriug an order would be made for Dunn's release. It is believed that this witness will turn out like one of the crown witnesses known as the "Mysterious Jim," who came from no one knows whero, and when brought on here at a large expense to the crown to identify Dunn, pointed to the cook of the jail as tho party he saw kill Fletcher. instrument. was presses a desire to and probably "ill recover. Ho iaujhs at suspicions pointing '.o him.

It is also now believed that tile murdered girl had intimate friends of whom ber family knew nothing, and that the Myers family did not at the inquest tell a.I that they Knew.

This was tlie only manufactory of any kind not connected with the Fisheries or Grauit# companies on the cape, including Gloucester.

In tho further discussion of tho Tonquin credits Prime Minister Kerry said that he had replied to tho Marquis Tseng's note of the 5th inst., asking that Admiral Courbet be instructed to cease operations against Sontay and Bac Ninli.

THE POWEROF MONEY New York, Dec. 11.—A rattling glove fight took place in Clarendon ball at tlie benefit of Joe Prendergast. Tlio main feature of the evening was to have been the wind up between the beneficiary and Prof. Watson, an English expert, but the latter thought discretion the better part of valor and stayed away. Charley Johnson, Prendergast's backer, said he would &uttch his man against John L. Sullivan or any one else for any amount of money, and that he would give anybody $Do who would stand up before Prendergast for three rounds. Jim Goode, another English boxer, said he would put on the gloves, but as he wanted the f50 whether he stayed through the three rounds or not, hi i proposition was not' accepted. Finally Joe Denning, the amateur champion boxer of 18i0, said he would see what be could do, and the pair went off to get ready for the bout, which proved a regular hurricane fight all the way through. The men came on the stage in full ring costume, and Prendergast forced the fighting through three rounds, but did not succeed in knocking out his antagonist. In the last round Denning fell from weakness, but got up and resumed the battle. He finally lost his temper, and pulled oft the gloves, throwing them on the stage, and wanted to finish the battle with baro knuckles. Prendergast evidently did not care to go on any more than Denning did, and they shook hands. The general verdict was that Denning hail the best of the bout, and I hat Prendergast would be no match for Sullivan.
