ROMANCE OF THE ROTHSCHILDS.

(London Letter to ' N. T. World.') The very uppermost circles of society bere are agitated by the report of the imminence ot an extremely unusual and startling event. A daughter of the Rothschilds is about to be married to a poor man—and tins poor man is a Christian. The young lady who is thus about to break with the traditions of her family and disregard the teaching of religion is the daughter of Sir Anthony Rothschild, and the J man upon whom she has resolved to bestow her fortune and her heart is the Hon. Mr Yorke, a son of the Earl of Hardwicke. I hasten to nip in the bud the sympathy with which this news may be received by the members of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jesvs, by adding that Miss Rothschild is not '"converted," and that she is not eoing to embrace Christianity, nor to renounce her own religion. She will remain a Jewess, and her husband will continue to be, at least nominally, a Christian. The disapproval with which the aged and excellent Baronet, her father, regards the match is said to be increased by his failure to discover in his prospective beau-fils any qualities of either head or heart which could justify or even excuse what he regards as his daughters's infatuation; but, then it must be remembered that he is not in love with Mr Yorke, and that his daughter is, and this makes all the difference in the world. The Rothschilds have long formed a sort of royal family of their own—intermarrying only with their cousins—and it is said that every possible means of persuasion has been brought to bear in vain upon this young lady to induce her to abandon her resolve. The reluctant consent of her father, or rather the withholding of his positive prohibition of the marriage, has at last been obtained, and the marriage, it is said, will soon be celebrated.
