We have received a long report of the celebrations of the Royal Marriage (Queen Victoria and Prince Albert) at the village (St. Erth). The pupils of  Mr. Trewren (schoolmaster) consisting of a number of respectable, well dressed boys and girls, had a holiday. They decorated with white favours and marched in procession through several villages. There were  met on their return by St. Erth Band who played a number of suitable airs until they arrived opposite Mr. Trewren’s residence, which was brilliantly illuminated for the occasion. They then concluded the days proceedings with God save the Queen.
