SONG- ,, MEN OF ENGLAND." ET T. CAMMILL. (From the New Moray Magazine. Men of England ! who inherit Rights that cost your Sires their blood! Men whose undegenerate spirit Has been proved on land and flood ! By the foes ye've fought uncounted, By the glorious deeds ye've done— Trophies captured—breaches mounted, Navie4 conquer'd —kingdoms won ! Yet, remember, England gathers Hence but fruitless wreaths of fame, If the pateotinm of your fathers Glow not in your hearts the same ! What are monuments of bravery, Where no public virtue blooms? What avail, in lands of slavery, Trophied temples, arches, tombs? Pageants !—let the world revere us For our people's rights and laws, And the breasts of civic heroes Bared in Freedom's holy cause ! Yours arc Hampden s, Russell's glory, Sydney's matchless shade is yours, Martyrs in heroic story, Worth a hundred Agincourts! We're th.: sons of sires that baffled Crown'd and mitred tyranny : They defied the held and scaffold For their birth-rights—so will we! LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH', JUNE n. FAGAN V. lIUCKLE. This was an action by the plaintiff to recover da mages for an assault committed on Iris wife by the defendant's dog. From the evidence it appeared, that the plaintiff's servant was going along Angel court, where the parties lived, and had her mistress's favour ite dog with her; the defendant was passing at the time with his dog, and the animal commenced a fivirt. Mrs. Fagan hearing of the perilous situation in which her favourite was, came out to part them, and took her dog up in her arms ; when the de- Undant, not liking his sport should be put an end to, encouraged his dog to persevere, by clapping his hands, and other gestures, well understood by the canine race Thus urged on, the defendant's dog mane a spring at little pug, but missed his object, and fastened on Mrs. Fagan's arm, which was lace. rated in a very serious manner. On the part of the defendant several witnesses were called, who swore that the defendant did not encourage the dogs, and teat Mrs. l'afz ar , struck the defendant's dog with a w lrip.—The 'Jury, after some deliberation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages are Farthing, costs One Farthing. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 29. ASTLEY V. PITT. This wa, an action in trover, brought to recover the value of two horses fiom the defendant, who is a livery stable keer.er at Brighton. Mr. Sea jeant LENS stated the case for the who is a livery stable-keeper in town, and who had lent two job horses to a Lady, who left them at Brighton, in the care of the defendant, who is a livery stable.keerer at that place. When they were scat tor, he charl,ed EU 10s. but the charge was considered as exorbitant, and £2O was tendered, which was refused, and the action was now brought to recover the value of the horses detained.• Tire Learned Serjeant said, that this was the first time that the question as to the right cf livery stable keepers to detain the horses lot the expenses had tome before a Court of Justice. Ile argued, at great length, to prove that the situation of the innkeeper, and that of a livery stable-keeper, were totally dif ferent; and that the latter had not, like the former, the tight of detaining hones for the expenses. Evidence was called on the part of the plaintiff, to prove the tender of part of the money to the de. feudant, and that that sum was a fair remunera tion.—On the part of the defendant, Mr. Serjeant 'PADDY denied that any tender had been made, and asserted that the witness who had been called to prove that fact was unworthy of credit. Chief Justice DALLAS gave it as his opinion, that s the livery stable-keeper could have no lien on the horses or property, for his situation was widely dif ferent from that of the innkeeper. The innkeeper was obliged to receive the horses of travellers, and to entertaur them ; but the livery stable-keeper was under iya such obligation, and received the horses only upon a contract, and upon that contract he might bring his action.—The Jury returned a ver dict fpr the plaintiff—Damages £75. • COURT OF EXCISE. • IMPORTANT TO STATIONERS. THE KING. V. RIGIIARDs AND WILSON. This was an information against the defendant, John Richards and George Wilson, stationers, in S:. Martin's-court, Leicester-square, charging them with unlawfully having on their premises a number of paper wrappers, with the stamps and marks uncan celled, so that they might be wrongfully used again in enveloping paper which had not paid the duty, and thereby defraud the Revenue. The defendants, for every pair of wrappers found on the premises, were subject to a penalty of £lOO. Mr. MAYO, the Solicitor to die Court, informed the Commissioners, that he should only seek to recover penalties on two complete sets of wrappers, the others he should lay out of the present case. Mr. Sheriff Venables sworn. He knew the de fendants to be upright, honourable men, and that was the chat acter, as tradesmen, that they bore generally. Six or seven workmen, in the employ of the de fendants, were called and examined ; they all stated that an injunction had been given to them, and to every workman individually, by Mr. Richards, and also by Mr. Wilson, to cancel all stamps on wrappers as they were stripped off the reams of paper which they enveloped. The Court consulted for some time, when the CHAIRMAN rose and addressed the defendants. lie said, that there was not, in the opinion of the Court, the slightest imputation cast on their characters by the present proceeding; but there had certainly been some irregularity on their part ducting their business, or the i wrappers would not have heen where they were. The COurt, st.inces, would be lenient in tht. were bound to convict, because port of the piosecution had though it was wished the Cour) discharged servant had place( they were seized.—The judgment of the Court was, that the penalty should be mitigat ed from L:200 to Forty Shillings. THE KING R. HODGKINS. Mr. Thomas Hodgkins, the proprietor of an oyster and shell-fish warehouse, in Brydges-street, Covent garden, was charged.on information with retailing porter in his rooms without being regularly licensed. Mr. Hodgkins pleaded not guilty, but admitted the porter having been sold and drank in his rooms, but that it was fetched from the adjoining public-house. The COURT inquired if he received any profit on the beer purchased at the public-house, and sold in his rooms? Mr. Hodgkins said, he certainly did receive a penny profit on each pot. The COURT said , that was quite enough, and he was ordered to pay a mitigated penalty of E. 5. - - WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Saturday, James Ward, Patrick Leeson, Thomas Kelly, Jeremiah Langham, and Peter Langham, were indicted, with tea other persons, not in custody, with creating a disturbance and riot at the house of Mr. Oakland, the City of London public-house, in Ber wick•street, Soho, in the parith of St. James, on Sun day evening, the 2d of June. There were seven counts in the indictment, five of them for violently assaulting the officers, and one on the landlady of the house. The Jury found all the prisoners—Guilty. The COURT sentenced Ward and Leeson to three months, Kelly and J. Langham to one month, and Peter Langham to fourteen days imprisonment, in the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour. The persons in custody for the disturbance and riot in Great Peter-street,'Westminster, on Whit Monday, the 27th of May last, during which dreadful affray a man named Ralph Welsh was accidentally shot, and who died of his wounds on Wednesday last, in the Infirmary, were placed at the Bar ; they consisted of sixteen men and one woman. The prisoners severally pleaded Not Guilty. The charge of riot was clearly made out against eight of them, who were found guilty, and sentenced by the Court to various terms of imprisonment in the house of Correction, and to be ke;A to hard labour. The others, after a severe admonition from the Learned Chairman, were or dered to be discharged.—The Sessions ended. CONSISTORY COURT, JUNE 8. BLYTII T. SODEN', FALSELY CALLED BLYTII. This was a proceeding at the instance of Mr. Samuel Blyth, of the parish of St. Videst, Foster-lane, London, to obtain a sen tence of the Court declaratory of the inv:::idity of a marriage, which appeared to have taken place between his son, Augustus Frederick Blyth, a minor of the age of eighteen years, and Sarah Soden, a servant in the family. The facts of the case, as they appeared in evidence, were these:—Mr. Blyth has been for some time resident at Paris, with his family. Sarah Soden, who is about twelve years older than the minor, lived as lady's maid in his family for about three years. In September last (1821), she obtained leave to go to England on some businesi, as she represented, of her own; and Mr. Augustus Frederick Myth, at the same time, had per mission from his lather to leave home for a few days on an ex cursion to Chantilly ; but instead of going thither, he proceeded unknown to his lather ith Sarah Soden to Dover, where they arrived on the Bth of September. A Mr. Minimal, an old neighbour of Sarah Soden, and a Miss Sixty, a friend of his, ware applied to, to be present at the ceremony, and a marriage accordingly took place between the parties the next morning (September 9th, 1821), in the Parish Church of St. Mary-the- Virgin, Dover, by virtue of a license obtained upon the usual affidavit that both the parties were of age. It appeared that Sarah Soden, in conversation with Mr. lierrl,on after the mar riage, acknoveledged to him that it war a runaway match, un known to any of Mr. Illy th's family, and that Mr. Augustus Frederick Blyth was only eighteen years of age. " But, she added, " you don't blame me, do you ?—There's plenty of money ;" and on Mr. Harrison asking her how they got over the oath to the affidavit as to his being of age ? she replied— " Oli ! I told him se lien he came to that part to mumble it over." None of Mr. Blyth's children, it appeared, had ever been bap tised, conse9tience of sonic objections entertained by Mr. Itlyth to the ceremony of infant baptism; but the birth of Mr. Augustus Myth was fully proved by Dr. Ridout, the medical gentleman who attended Mrs. Myth, and by another person who was in the house at the time, to have taken place on the 31. t Of August, 1803, and they were confirmed by the testimony of the brother and sister of the minor. The marriage was fully proved by Mr. Harrison and Miss Salty, by the usual documen tary evidence. Miss Blyth, the sister of the minor, having be come acquainted with the 'Darr:age, after sonic hesitation, made it known to her father in February lust. He was very much distressed and agitated by the intelligence, and his whole con duct spewed that that was the first knowledge he had or it. Ile came immediat: ly to England, where Sar a h Soden was, and in stituted the present suit. Dr. JENNER submitted, that as the facts of the marriage, mi nority, and non-consent of parents, together with identity of the parties were clearly proved, the Court would proceed to pro nounce for nullity. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that as Counsel for the party proceeded against, he did not mean to oppose the suit on the ground of proof of the facts; but this being a case under the old Marriage Act, he should reserve the privilege of an appeal, as soon as it might be ascertained what the new Marriage-Law would be, JUD9MINT.—The Court observed, that the case came fully within thr provisions of the Act, and within the principle which bad been held in different forms in all countries, requiring the consent of the. parent to the marriage of minor children. The beneficial effects of such a restriction had never been doubted in individual cases, though there was much diversity a f opinion as to the means by which it should be obtained, whether by pre ventive measures merely, or by the consequence of nullity which had been established in the 3larriage Act. There could be no doubt that preventive measures would be preferable, if they could be relied upon as effectual. But the Law has hitherto thought, that they could not; and future experience may per haps confirm that apprehension. In the present case, the mino rity and the identity of the parties, and the want of the consent of the father of the miner, are fully established. The parties acted in privity and concert in endeavouring to defeat the pro visions of the law, by a false oath that the minor was of age, and with some expressions as to the manner in which that oath was to be got over, that mark strongly the fraudulent object of the parties. It is the case of a minor son, ind uce d by an art f u l an d experienced woman, who was a servant in the family, to elope from his father's house, and come to England, where the mar riage was celebrated under this false representation. There can hardly be a case more strictly within the beneficial application of the law as it now stands. Whether any projected change (of which the party has declared his intention of taking the advantage by appeal) will affect this case,the Court cannot presume to judge. It the alteration is to be retrospective, it is reasonable to suppose that the nature of cases to which it may apply will have been considered by an accurate reference to the circumstances of cases that have actually occurred in the experience of these Courts, or may now be depending. In that form the present case and the class of cases that may exist under similar circumstances may not be out of the contemplation of the legislature; and it may be pre ! , snmed that parties in such a situation will not be precluded from , ! the benefit of the existing law, so peculiarly applicable to such cases, by any alteration of the general law that may be necessary or expedient on other grounds. The Court has, however, only to ' I pronounce on the law as it now stands; and to express that there has been no case that has come before it on which it has decided gr" 7 !'r7r-'7".7.7'7' r , CI"C! sad/fiction than n declacinithilikrial as celebrated and in this case, to be nun and void. marriNe was accordingly pronounced null and void, and Sarah Soden asserted an appeal. CHURCH DISCIPLINE. ARDSNSOF THE PARISH OF GREAT WAL- N ESSEX, v. THE REV. DR. CLARKE. of the Court ea Friday morning, Dr. CLadars _ . attendance, the articles were read, charging him with a series ofirregularities in the discharge of his dudes ; among the principal were :—after appointing a certain time for baptising the infant children of several of his parishioners, refusing to do so ; his altering the form of the Church Service, by reading the Burial instead of the regular Service ; his neglecting to perform Morning Service ; and finally, stopping up the keyhole of the church door with a wooden plug, so that neither himself. Church wardens, nor parishioners, could gain admittance ; in conse quence of which it became necessary to break it open by force. When the articles had been read, Dr. Ceases offered to ad dress the Court, bat was interrupted by the Judge, who pointed out the regular course of proceeding. In acting u Counsel fur himself, he might inadvertently admit what would turn out to be disadvantageous to himself ; whilst, from his denial, he could take no benefit, but serious inconvenience, from admission of facts. Then, with regard to these articles being frivolous and ♦exatious, if be meant to take that objection, the Court was bound to hear him patiently. Defendant would, however, take notice, that these were serious and grave charges, as regarded the due performance of his clerical duties, and which the country required very strictly from a Gentleman in his situation. If he meant to contend that these articles were so frivolous and so ab surd as to carry no legal inference, the Court would hear him. Dr. Ccaatic said he had to observe, with respect to their being frivolous and vexatious, he remembered Sir William Scott (now Lord Stowell) to have said, that a party coming into a Court of Justice should come with clean hands. How could this be said of the Churchwarden, who borrowed from him the key of the Cifiirch door for improper purposes? Finding he did not return it, and that he was about to introduce some certain fixtures, to which he (Dr. Clarke) objected, he bad recourse to stopping up the lock, in hopes that when the Archdeacon next visited he would order a new lock with three keys to be made, and which was very much wanted. He (Dr. Clarke) had done as much Church sorvice a 3 he was able. He had done the duties of the door, •opener, beil-ringer, and cluck•winder, as well as that of Clergyman, for these last twenty years. He bad prepared an Address in Latin, out of delicacy to the Archdeacon (whose hands, he would say, were no more clean than those of the Churchwarden); the Court, however, had objected to his Latin Address on a former occasion. Sir C. RODINSO2I.—.I have much pleasure in reading your Latin in my Chambers, but in'this Court we must proceed in the language of the country, which is English. Dr. CLansit proceeded—This suit was promoted by the Tufrnell family, by whom he and Mrs. Clarke had been great losers. When he first came there he lost by them £l2OO in law, besides £2O a year, which he was to have had for preaching twice on Sundays, and which was 20 years in arrear to him. The COWIT intimated, that on the next Court day it would proceed to admit these articles, unless found liable to legal objec tions : in the meantime the defendant would consider what issue he meant to give in. 1)r. CLARNZ observed, he had the misfortune to have lost his hearing in one ear, and was besides aged and infirm. The Cocaz.admonished him to attend next Friday.

FUMIGATING BATHS. - A'Eli an experience of several ye ars i n C on . tinental Practice, Doctor COURTENA Y announces his process of Sanative Fumigation, improved upon the plan of the celebrated DAUCZT, and cleared from the obstructions and im perfections to which the noblest and most usefpl inventions in their origin, but too freqmntly liable. The admirable qual;- ties of the FUMIGATING BATA had been long highly praised and earnestly recommended in the writings of eminent Physicians, MARCA RD, ALTIIMONELLI, arid LAI.' . :"Tri;: but it is only within these few years that the precise a • • • mined use of them has been demonstrated and t stablis3e•l.- - The theory is now sanctioned by unvarying experience, and the consequences are recognized to be fully adequate to the scientific anticipations of all the Medical Men who bawd en couraged and promoted this efficacious and elegant mode of cure. In all Cutaneous Eruptions, long considered incurable, and at tended.with the most painful results; in Scorbutic and Scrofu lous Affections, whether lurking internally, cr manifesting them selves by hideous blotches, in Leprosy, Ringworm, Rheuma tism, and Female Complaints; the Fumigating System inva riably produces the happiest effects; yet with all these excellent qualities, its principal virtue will be tound to consist in the r:- storation of an exhausted and debilitated constitution to a state of activity and vigour; and whether the exhaustion and debility be caused by a long course of dissipation, or the ravages of Luei Venerea, it will in this respect vindicate its claim to the title of a real specific.
