concluded with the benediction, and as the party left the church, Mr.
Stonex performed Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March,” in a very skilful
manner. The bride’s trousseau was entirely supplied from Yarmouth, and
the wedding cake, which weighed 100 lb., was manufactured by Mr.
Wright, of King Street, Yarmouth. After the marriage, the bridal party
assembled at the Vicarage, where the register was signed, and then sat
down to a récherché breakfast, the management of which was placed in
the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, of the Crown and Anchor Hotel. The
following is a list of those who were present at the wedding breakfast:
the Vicar and Mrs. Venables, the Honourable and Mrs. Sanderson, T. H.
Sanderson, Esq., Lord Hastings, Chas. Venables, Esq. (Taplow, Bucks),
and Mrs. C. Venables, Miss Sanderson, Miss Lucy Sanderson, Miss Maud
Sanderson, Canon Venables (Lincoln) and Mrs. Venables, Miss Ruth
Venables (Lincoln), Miss Rose Venables (London), Gilbert Venables,
Esq., B.A. (Lower Norwood), and Mrs. Gilbert Venables, Rev. F. G.
Wilson (Vicar of Rudham) and Mrs. and Miss Wilson, Rev. J. J. Raven,
D.D. (Yarmouth), and Mrs. Raven, Rev. R. V. Barker, M.A. (Yarmouth),
Edward Venables, Esq. (Emmanuel College, Cambridge), and Mrs. Edward
Venables, Rev. Bowyer Vaux, M.A., and Mrs. Vaux, Rev. R. H. Irvine and
Mrs. Irvine, Mrs. Palgrave (Yarmouth), Mrs. Woollnough, Rev. F. C.

Spencer, B.A., Miss Mander (Tettenhall Wood), Mrs. Palmer, Rev. R. J.

were very numerous, and among the donors we find the names of Mr. and
Mrs. T. North, of Leicester, a bread platter and knife; and Mr. and
Mrs. Burbidge Hambly, of Mountsorrel, a dessert service. The honeymoon
is being spent at Sans Souci, Dorsetshire.
FORS CLAVIGERA.
LETTER LVIII.
“Deus, a quo sancta desideria, recta consilia, et justa sunt opera, da
servis tuis illam quam mundus dare non potest pacem, ut et corda nostra
mandatis tuis, et, hostium sublata formidine, tempora, sint tuâ
protectione tranquilla.”
“God, from whom are all holy desires, right counsels, and just works,
give to Thy servants that peace which the world cannot, that both our
hearts, in Thy commandments, and our times, the fear of enemies being
taken away, may be calm under Thy guard.”
