234 The new Marriage Ad.—When the late Earl Stanhope brought forward his motion , for a revision of the statutes, be stated, in support of the necessity of such a measure, that in a particular penal statute which he named, it was originally intended that the punishment should he by fine, and that a sub sequent clause declared, that an equal division of it should be made between his Majesty and the in former—the punishment was afterwards changed to • whipping and imprisonment—but the apportioning clause not having been altered, placed his Majesty and the infiiriner in a dangerous predicament;—a similar instance of carelessness in the phraseology of Legislation, is to be seen in a Bill now before Parliament, fox in the new Marriage Act, which Las undergone ouch lengthened and anxious discus •sions in both Houses, there is the following passages —" And in such case both parties shall also make . oath that the person or persons whose consent shall 3)e. required by law to the marriage of such parties .11as been given ;"—i. e. that the person or persons - has been given! The framer, of course, means the • consent of such person or persons, but he gets it enacted that " the person or persons" shall be given! But there is. another enactment truly marvellous : • " And be it further enacted," says the amended Bill, " that such banns shall not be published until the true christian and surnames of the mid persons, and the Anise or Louses of their respective abodes, shall be affixed on the principal door of the church . or chapel! and in some conspicuous place within the said church or chapel! Parliament is omnipotent, truly, but how a house could be stuck on a church door is a problem that remains to be solved. The difficulty, we apprehend, is increased, when two houses arc to be stuck on the said door! But the same house or houses must be stuck also on the church door, and also placed in some conspicuous place within the said church!

CAPTION OF A «ARP Or CItANCERY.—A short time ago, in our report or the proceedings of the Court of Chancery, we stated the particulars of an application fur an in junction to restrain Horatio Reeve, a druggist's assistant, at Exeter, from having any commuidc.ation with Miss Brasilia Street, of that city, a ward of the Court. The injunction was granted, and on a subsequent day, upon a statement that the aiefenda.it and his brother had acted in defiance of that injunc tion, and had eloped with the infant, an order was issued by the Lord Chancellor for the appearance of the delinquents before his Lordship. It was then supposed that they had proceeded, or weed about to proceed to Guernsey, to be married, the brother . having engaged a passage on board a packet for that place. It appears, however, that the pursuit by the friends of the young lady was so hot, as to induce the fugitives to alter their course, and they came by a circuitous route to London, where all trace of limns was lost fur a time, and an adver isement was pnblislied oltering a reward for the discovery of Miss Street or her com panions. Bishop, one of the principal officers of Bow-street, on Thursday morning last obtained informatiou that the parties were lodging at a house at Horton, whether lie immediately rep sired, and as lie was about to knock at the dour; a young lad., exactly answering the description he had received of Miss Street, opened it, and was about to leave the house. Bishop accosted her, and politely begged to know it her name was Street ?—She blushed, and seemed agitated, but replied, with much quickness, in the negative, and added, that she was the daughter of the lady of the house. The officer, however, was .coni lured that lie was speaking to the object of his search, and lie begged that she would bane the goodness to introduce kiln to her mother, with whom be had some urgent business. She said she was going out, and was in a great hurry, and requested that he would walk in and speak to her mamma, whom lie would find in the parlour. She was walking hastily away when Bishop told her the nature of his errand, assured her be knew liar well, that she was the person lie was in quest of, and said be could sot suffer her to depart. He called the mistress of the house, and asked her if the yumtg lady was her daughter She replied in the negative , and stated that she and a young gentleman had hired lodgings in her Laurie about three days ago. W bile this conversation was going on the young gen tleman.' made his appearance in the person of air. Horatio Meet e, and an explanation took place, the result of which was, ,that the offieer took the fugitice pair, together with all their luggage, away in a coach, and conveyed them to the Pubii t Office, in Bow-street, where, under the pretence of awaiting the order of this magistrates for the restoration of this trunks, be COatl i% ed to detain Mr. Reese until notice was given to the So licitors fur the plaintiff, s•lio immediately caused the order of' the Lord Chancellor to be served upon him, unal he was then aullereti to depart with whatever property belonged to him.— Mira Street TWllailla under the protection of the officer, until It he can be restored safely . to her friends. She appeared to be by far the most affected at the separation from her lover, who, on his part, seemed resolved to bear .this reverse of fortune with becoming firmness. \ClttrrtNG.Ott Thursday last, eight men and a', Jew lsiy were whipped in the Sessions liouse-yard, in the Old Bliley, in presence of a greater number of per sons than nunl on such occasions, and it was remarked. with greater severity than has been known for some .years. One man, during his pimishinent, fainted away, while some of the others behaved with the greatest in soliinee. Six were also privately whipped, one of whom having received a lash after the wprd halt, told the cxe- L..: would 1 , ..1:1:11 hint for givrg him more than THE NATIONAL iSTER _ On Monday last, a family of eight persons, named Watkins, residing in King-strect, Cheltenham, were suddenly seized with violent retchings, attended with severe and excruciating pain ; medical assist ance being called in, Mr. Freeman soon discovered that the contents of the stomach were strongly im pregnated with copper, and it was ascertained that they had eaten very heartily of fixml in which a cop per spoon tinged with venligrease had been made use of. By timely administering an antidote, we arc most happy to say, the lives of all the persons have been preserved, although one is an aged woman nearly 80 years of age, and two others are infants. • • . _ Zirtba.

The anivals of Wheat during the last week were but mode rate, but there was a considerable quantity of land samples this day in the market ; Wheat, even of the best quality. was on the decline, and sales heavy. Of Outs there was a pretty large. supply, but sales were heavy, ut Friday's prices. Barley WAS also dull of demand, and prices on the decline. Beans and Peas were from Is. to 2a. per qr. lower, and although in other articles ; we cannot quote any reduction, the market was very dull. CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNESDAY. JULY to. The supply of all sorts of grain this day was very moderate, but there was scarcely any demand for any article. In Wheat but little altetatinn has taken place, and the line qualities barely supported Monday's quotations. Barley was a trifle cheaper, and Oats were about is. lower than on Monday. In Beans and NM no business has ►.een done, and these articles are looking .down. The market, upon the whole, was exceedingly fiat, and all grain is likely to be cheaper.
