the Canton Authorities are treating tlie present Governor's demand for the release of Mr Kwok Acheong's Son, whose family have always claimed English protection on Account of the valuable services rendered In 1840.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS IN INDIA. Marriage castoms and marriage mantras differ in some respects in different parts of the country. Thus at the marriage of his Highness the Maharajah of Mysore, the following pretty recitation formed a portion of the ritual uttered by the bridegroom in musical Sanskrit:
The bridegroom repiles, Well be it,' and repiter the following:
**Who gave her?
To whom did he give her ? Love' gave har,
To love he gave her. Love was the giver. Love was the taker, Love! may this be thine. With love may I enjoy her! Love has pervaded the ocean, With love I accept her !..
Love 1 may this be thine."" Soon after this the bride and bridegroom proceed one or two steps forward, and the bride is thus addressed by the bridegroom:
