The bride was born at Darmstadt, Jnly llth, 18CC, and is aaid to be both amiable and highly edu- cated, ftud, without beiu^ beautiful, is posseafied of a very tine fi^juro, and is more than (jood lookiii;;. The Inidcgroom was born August 14th, IBllL', and is refianled as the futuri^ admiral of the German navy. He has been in thu Borvioo since 1H7'J, and has made two voyages around the world. He ia tjenerally considered to be the cleverest member of the Ilohenzollorn family, and in years past, when Prince Wilhelm fell from popular (jrai^e throii^li his escapades, the I'rasbiana had hope that fate would assist the yountjer brother to the ImpcriAl throne. The betrothal of the illustriouB couple j was oil'icially made known on the occasion of the '.lOth birthday of the late Kaijor, and the marriage cereniony was announced to take place in the latter part of February last, but the death ol the late, and the serious illaebd of the present, Kmixror delayed the marriage until toiiay. Last evening tho special train convoying; Princ'iia Irene, her father and their suites and the I'ruaaian otliciala v.lio had met them at the frontier, steamed into tho Charlottenburi; station.

Both were well pleased with the likenesses. After about two montha of epistolary courtship the young man form- ally proposed for her hand. Hhe accepted, and ho wrote that he would arrive hero last Wednesday to claim his bride. There waa considerable nervouancBS in the house on Huron street. The prospective bride won- dered if her lover had sent her a genuine likeness, if he had deceived her as to his ago, and if he would still stick to his bar- gain after he had Been her. At last the prosaic wooer arrived and knocked at the door, asked if Miss Meffcrt lived there and was informed that she did. lie then an- noanced in a purely business way that he had dropiied in to marry her. Tho young lady llew to meet him, and they exchanged greetings and looked each other over. Tho young man was satisfied with his share of tho bargain, but the young lady was not •luite 1.0 considerate. She dallied with him for some time and it began to lookasif Mr. Young would go back to Toronto a bachelor. At last MiasMefTert relented and the young couple were united in matrimony last even- ing.

He was born on his father's estates in tho Ger- man Province above named forty-eight years ago. Before reaching his majority he fell desperately in love with Wilhelmina Froibertezeiaer, the daughter of his father's game-keeperâ€" a bright-eyed, rosy cheeked, bu-xom girl of 17 â€" whom at length he clan- destinely wedded. When tho concealment of this secret marriage waa no longer pos- sible the wrath of Emil'a father knew no bounds. He pronounced unathtina marami- tita u£)on his son for having disgraced his family by a mesalliance with a peasant girl, turned him ont of doors and forbade him ever again cross the threshold of the Von Kreitmeyer halla. Thua cast off by hia father and " cut " hy all hia aristo- cratic friends, young Kreitmeyer pluckily resolved to take his young wife over tho sea and endeavor to earn a comfortable living for her by the labor of hia hamls in the New World. During the voyage she pre- sented him with a son and heir, but both mother and child died and were buried at sea. JOININci TllK rNION AHJIV. Meanwhile tho guns of Fort Sumter were booming, and when Kreitmeyer landed at New York ho found that city ablaze with excitement, while brave men jostled each other in their eagerness to en- roll themselves among the volunteers for whom President Lincoln had called. Hav- ing been destined by hia father for the army, Kreitmeyer promptly enlisted in a New York regiment. At tho first battle of Bull Hun he was carried off the lield with a Confederate bullet in his breast, and for long weeks afterward ho was confined in a Washington hospital. When aufliciently recovered to loav<> it ho returned to hia regiment and served gallantly until the very end of the war.

When mustered out of service after Lee'a surrender, Kreitmeyer, having led an ah- Btemioua life and carefully aaveii his pay, found himself tho posaesaor of some SOOO, and with this sum ho determined to recroas the water and pay a visit incognito to the neighborhood of hia old home.

READ.S LIKK A NOVEL. Crew of a Wrecked VesMel Attanked by Chinese Pirate* od tbe High Seaaâ€" Dc>iierat« KcHlttance â€" The Ship Fired. A last (Thursday) night's Ban Francisco deapatch aaya: The steamer City of Peking, which arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama yesterday, brings additional information in rsgard 'to the wrecking of the steamer Ban Pablo, near Turnabout Island, in the Channel of Formosa, a month ago. The captain's statement is aa follows: On Monday evening tho vessel ran into a thick fog. He kept the ship on her course, though precautions were taken to keep oentinually sounding. On Tuesday morning at 3.30 the San Pablo struck a sunken rock ten miles north of Turnabout. It waa impossible to back the ship off, as tho two holds and coal bunkers were filled with water and there was danger of the vessel capsizing. It waa decided that it waa hopeleaa to attempt to save the steamer or cargo, consequently tho passen- gers and crew took to the boats and made for Turnabout Lighthouse, whence they were conveyed to Shanghai. Just before the lifeboats were ready to be lowered a swarm of Chinese piratical junks came from the neighboring mainland. Tho queer-looking vessels sailed in line of battle, and Capt. Beed, reaUzing the danger hia chargea were in, made prepara- tion to repel the attack. The pirates, however, came in auch overwhelming nnm- bera that before any demonstration could be made on board the sinking vessel they were climbing up the ship's sides. They were led by a man armed with a cutlass and a largo revolver. His ship- mates were also very heavily armed. Capt. Reed passed revolvers and guna among the paaaengera and crew and after a furious fusillade tho Coolies were beaten off. They rallied, however, and made a aocond and more desperate attempt to board the San Pablo, which was fast settling in the water. Some of the pirates gained tho main deck in spite of tho gallant stand of tho paasengers and crew and were swarming toward tho promenade deck, where tho do/endera were busy firing and reloading, when Capt. Reed brought the ship's hoso pipes into requisition. The long coils of hoso were manned by tho crew and instantly tbe pirates were again put to (light, tho torrents of boiling water from tho pipes sweeping many of them off the decks into tbe sea. Tbe Coolies then beat a retreat, and drawing their vessels up in lino cruised half a mile off the sinking vessel with the evident intention of waiting for its abandonment. During tho fight Capt. Reed imprisoned all the Chinese among hia crew with the Chinese passengers in the forehoid, for fear they woold aid their countrymen. Aa soon as posdible the paasengera, mail and specie were put into the Ban Pablo's boats, and then all boro away for land. When only a short distance from the wreck they saw tho iiiratea set sail and rash upon the Ban 'ablo. They clambered over the ship's aidea with grappling hooks and were soon masters of one of the finest boats that over sailed the Pacific. Whether by accident or design, they soon set fire to tho ship, and when laat seen smoke waa pouring from the wreck in groat clouda. In a few days tuga were sent to tho relief of tho San WTDDOWS' EEOOED, The Eemarkable Oareer Impostor, of a Beligions DOISQS IN CAHADA AMD ElBEWHEfiE.

'The Jadge, it is learned by mail, addressing Burleigh, said be could find no mitigating circumstances, and sen- tenced him to ten years' penal servitude on one charge and penal servitude for life on the other charge. The priaouer fell back in a awoon. Widdows waa sentenced to ten yeara' penal servitude. The career of Francis George Widdows, who is faletly described as an "ex-Fran- ciscan Monk," and who has now been com- mitted for ten yeara on a diagracefol charge, is sketched in the Norwich .1 rgui. Norwich is Widdows' birthplace, and a gentleman there haa kept truck of his career as a rehgioua philauthzopist, whc haa devoted his life to exposing Romanism, fant Bamuel waa due on Fathrr Ignatius' stage.

He dr.'aaed him- self aa a priest, and travelled wiili a com- panion similarly attired, lie called himself Brother Aloy8ius,and his companioij Brother Stanislaus. Brother Aloysius was nest heard of in his native town as the centre of attraction in the Marylebone Police Court. Tho charge waa similar te the one for which he has now been Bentenccil, but he escaped punishment through tlio failure of the prosecuting witness to appear. Ho then went to Rome, to France and to Canada, where ho began hia life work. Seeking ever thoae localities where fanati- cism waa most rampant, he waa able to find people to listen to him in many places, and the extent to which he deluded his sympathiaera would be amusing were it not for the peculiar moral depravity of the chief actor. In tho midst of hia Canadian career ho waa arrested in Torotto, tried, convicted, and sentenced to prieou for two years. After leaving priaou he returned to Eugland, went to Glasgow to lecture and to Dundee. In a few ciaya ho con- verted the latter town into a first-claaa bedlam. Tho avers'ie Dundee citizen ia a man of stroiif; convic- tions, and while tho mob did not know exactly what they would do with Mr. Nobbs, they earnestly beaeeched to bo allowed to get at him. Ono evening, while ho was lecturing, the angry citizens surrounded the hall, and ho had to don female attire and escape over the roofs adjoining; the hall. The Dundee Advertiser thereu|ion tooJi an interest in Nobbs' career, and sent to Toronto for all the docn- ments pertaining to hia couvic'nn, which they duly publiahed.

In addition, they refuse riaka where applicanta pursue an avocation which they regard aa iiazardous. This works au injustice to many which my company, recently organized, seeks to remedy by an iiigeniouacloaaification which is to regulate as follows: First, we have tho usual premium for healthy persona, based on age at time of insuring, then wo add to this premium a graded increased percentage according to the symptoms of hereditary disease apparent in tin- assured or their relatives and the hazardous nature of their occupa- tion.
