At St. James's Church, Westminster, on the 4th instant, by the REV. F. NORMAN, LORD GEORGE JOHN MANNERS, youngest son of the DUKE OF RUTLAND, K. G. to LADY ADELIZA FITZALAN HOWARD, youngest daughter of the DUKE OF NORFOLK, K. G.
 
A select circle of the friends of both noble families assembled to witness the ceremony.  Her ladyship wore a superb bridal costume, composed of a robe of white glaee silk, trimmed with rich flounces of Brussels lace;  a wreath of orange flowers encircled the head, over which fell a Brussels veil of the most exquisite design and manufacture.  A diamond necklace with bracelets en suite, and a bouquet of rare beauty, completed a toilette of matchless taste and magnificence.
 
The service was read by REV. FREDERICK NORMAN, son-in-law of the DUKE OF RUTLAND, the bride being given away by her noble father.  After the marriage had been duly recorded in the register, the happy pair drove direct to Norfolk House, whence, at two o'clock they proceeded via the Great Northern Railway, to Belvoir Castle, the baronial seat of the DUKE OF RUTLAND, in Leicestershire, where the few first days of the honeymoon will be passed.
 
The presents received by the bride have been exceedingly numerous and valuable.  The EARL OF ARUNDEL presented her ladyship with a valuable service of plate.  The DUKE OF RUTLAND sent a diamond necklace, and a beautiful suite of the same jewels was presented by the DUCHESS OF NORFOLK.
 
The presents of the bridegroom included a diamond necklace and a bracelet of great beauty;  and the DUKE OF NORFOLK gave a dressing-case fitted in gold.
