O THE GREAT CASE OF WYCKLIFFE v. MORRIS AND WINTER.

PHASE I.--Yesterday was a red letter day in Melbourne, for it
witnessed the double wedding of the heroes of the great case of
Wyckliffe v. Morris and Winter to two of the wealthiest and most
charming of Australian heiresses. Having successfully, and to the
admiration of their countrymen, vindicated the honour of Australia
on the person of its English traducer, Mr. Allen Winter and Mr.
Reginald Morris have now proceeded to demonstrate to Englishmen in
general, (and we may add to our own countrymen also), how possible
it is for an Australian heiress to ally herself with an Australian
husband. From to-day, Miss Hilda Mannahill, a daughter of whom
Australia is proud, reappears as Mrs. Allen Winter; and Miss May
Goodchild, the daughter of Mr. Goodchild, of Tasmania, reappears as
Mrs. Reginald Morris. A fashionable crowd packed Scott's Church,
where the ceremony was performed; and a larger and less
fashionable, but more enthusiastic, crowd lined the streets and
greeted both brides and bridegrooms with the heartiest cheers. With
one voice Australia wishes them health and happiness.

PHASE II.--Have you ever seen a whipped hound trailing along with
its tail between its legs? How furtively it gazes out of the corner
of one eye. With what anxious trepidation it endeavours to hide
itself behind the flimsiest obstacles! What an air of dilapidation
and misery it bears! How piteously it whines if you deign to notice
it, as if it said, "It wasn't me, but the ugly bull-dog round the
corner!" Passengers by the s.s. _Paramatta_, which left Adelaide
yesterday, were reminded of the aptness of this simile to one of
their number, who was leaving for England. He was a young man, with
a pale, emaciated face, a hang-dog expression, and having both ears
closely bandaged. His name is Villiers Wyckliffe, and he will be
able to tell England what he thinks of Australia, and on his person
he will bear, till his dying day, the mark of Australia's Revenge.
