1 THE COURIER. -r - - London Letter. The engagement is announced of Lady Sybil Beauclerck, niece of the CounteBB of Minto (wife of the Governor-General of Canada,) to Mr. Wra. F. Laecellee, of Scots Guards, aide-de-camp to the Governor-General. Lady Sybil is the younger daughter of the late Duke of St. Albans by his first wife, and is there fore a descendant of Charles II and Nell G wynne. Mr. Laecellee is the elder son of Sir Francis Laecellee, British Ambas sador to Berlin. His mother, who died a few years ago, was a daughter of Sir Joseph Olliffe, a celebrated physician in Paris in the days of the second Empire, whom Alphonse Daudet cruelly malign ed under the name of Dr. Jenkins in "Le Nabab.'' Another engagement an nounced from Canada is that of Miss Sykes, niece of Colonel Straubenzie, to an Englishman named Falls. Interest in the matrimonial prospects of Lord Crewe increases every day. He is forty-one; Lady Margaret Primrose was eighteen on January 1st. The day of her birth is responsible fot her hav ing been christened Margaret Etrenne (New Year's gift.) When she becomes Countess of Crewe she wilt chaperone a stop-dhughter only five months younger than herself. Lord Crewe is not only a etrikicgly handsome man, with winning manners and an expression of gentle melancholy befitting his past sorrows, but he is also a poet of the gentle, dreamy order. I advise your fair read ers to get his "Stray Verses," published when he was Lord Houghton . His first wife, whim he married when he was twenty-two, was a Graham, of Netherby. She inherited great beauty from her grandmother, the mad Duchess of Somerset, who sixty years ago, then Lady Seymour, was the Queen of Beauty at the Eglinton tournament. The Duchess was a granddaughter of Rich ard Brinsley Sheridan and the lovely Betty Linley. Seven years after her marriage Lady Houghton died, leaving her disconsolated husband with three daughters and a son. The boy died at the age of seven. So the "preux cheva lier" has had his troubles. By way of distraction he went in ardently for political life, and became Mr. Glad stone's Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland; but as he held the post during the heat of the Home Rule controversy, he found himself boycotted by Dublin society. It rumor is to be believed, Lord Crewe's political convictions cost him more than mere popularity; they caured him a bit ter heart ache. He had conceived an affection for the lovely daughter of a proud old house wedded to Tory tradi tions. For a while society speculated as to which would be the stronger, the personal magnetism of the man or the cut-end dried opinions of the beauty's family. How the romance ended I do not know, but Lord Crewe suddenly withdrew from the field. Those who should know say that he never ventured A to put the decisive question; but that he deemed himself repulsed is evident to all who know (he poem, written in that eventful year, wherein he tells his lady that he "shall watch her footsteps down the road;" and adds: "Till you turn and beckon I stand and wait!" That, how ever, was nine years ago. No one would guess, to see them, that he and Lady "Peggy" have so many years between them. She is very self possessed and sensible, as well as charm ing. The Prince of Wales, who ia a great friend of Lord Crewe, as well as of Lord Rosebery, and is fond of the lat ter's motherless girls, was delighted at the engagement. The wedding will be one of the events of the season. Of course Lady Peggy will be very rich, as her mother was a Rothcbild. People -Vife saying that the elder girl, Lady Sybil, will probably marry soon and that Lord Rosebery will then be forced, in self defense, to make that declaration which has been banging back for so long. You romembor that exotic novel, "Via Lucie,'' which your able reviewer "slated" eo unmercifully some months vgo, but which mado quite a sonsation here? 1 hear from Rome that the au thoress was married recently to her publisher, Mr. William Ileinemann. Anion? the guostt. at the wedding was Mr. Whistler, who had come from Pario specially for the occasion. The bride's real name wbb Magda Stuart Sindici. Her father was formerly an officer in the Italian army, and her mother is first cousin of the Duke of Berwick. That ducal family doEconds from the Royal StuartB. The first Duke was an illegiti mate son of James II. Magda Ileine mann (or "Kaesanda Vivaria," to give her the literary title) is only two-and-twenty. Her remarkable book wbb written while ebe was yet in her teens. The death of the amiable Counteis of Sefton is much regretted. You re member that she lost her husband not long ago and that her son, the young Earl, is confined in a private asylum. Her death is the more sad as, contrary to all expectations, the young heir is getting well, and the doctors confidently predict bis return to perfect sanity and to active life. His aberration was caus ed by an injury to the head, the result of a fall from his horse, not by any brain disease. I wonder whether the fair young girl, whose engagement to him was so sadly broken off, will welcome him back. Magnificently Equipped Via rtr --ai .
