The coonsion of the marringe of HR.5, the Duke of Edinburgh to tha Crown Priness of Russia, was celebrated with considerable re, joicings in Hongkong yesterday. The fact that the tavics of both countries are represented pretty strongly in the Colony, und Laptersunt rcolleatione left in the minds of the rekidante by the visits of the bridegroom and the brother of the bride, tended perhaps to give to the event recently consumiouted in St. Petersburg mauro local interest bere that it otherwise
have and. At all events, there was nò back of
