The banns of marriage between two parties had been regularly published in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and'a particular day was fixed for the intended union, at the residence of the bride, a few miles from town. The Clergyman accordingly went at the time ap pointed ; but, lo ! the fickle queen had been married two days before to another man, and the happy pair had taken their flight to their future dwelling, some miles distant ! The disappointed swain, ignorant of his misfortune, had come to see his Dulcinea the day after the ceremony had been performed ; and when he found what bad taken place, he assumed philosophic composure, shook hands with the faithless frail one, and wished her all the happiness she deserved. The I .11owing account of marriages in divers parts , of the worl.l may he amusing to the cognoscenti in that department (4 - British Legislation: Marriage is in use among all people. The first inhabitants of Greece lived together without marriage. Cecrops first instituted marri.‘ge in Athens. The season of the dear which they pre ferred was winter, particularly the month of Januar/. called Ga inelion. Child: vt. were not allowed to marry without the con sent of their parents. The usual ceremony was kissing each other, or giving their right fraud. A Roman might not marry any woman who was not a Roman. The most happy season fur marrying was. that which followed the ides of June. In Ger many they have a kind of marriage called Morganatic, wherein a man of quality contrasting with a woman of inferior rank, gives her the left hand instead of the right ; from this marriage de children become bastards as to matters of inheritance, though they are legitimate in effect. None but Princes and great Lords of Germany are allowed this kind of marriage. The Turks have three sorts of marriage, and three sorts of wives—legitimate, wives in kebin, and shores. They marry the first, hire the se cond, and buy the third. The people of Java marry their chil dren at nine years of age. In Siam the espousals are concluded by female mediation. On the third visit the parties are consi dered as married. Royal marriages are sometimes incestuous, and the King does nut hesitate to marry his own si►ter. This arises from pride. Among the savage nations of Asia, Africa, sir America, the wife is commonly bought by the husband from the father. Among the Abyssinians, the price varies from four horses down to awbottle of brandy. The Araucans have as many wives as they can keep. In China the bride is purchased by a present to her parents, and is newer seen by her husband till after the ceremony. In Circasaia the bridegroom pays for his bride a marriage present, but be most not see her, nor cohabit with her, without the greatest mys tory. This reserve continues through life. The ancient Ueda COM pard their citizens, in one Canton, to take seven wives ; in mother, each woman to receive five husbands ; according as the was had made, in one quarter ot their country, an extraordinary havoc among the men, ur the women had been carried away by an enemy from another. The Ancient Britons had a singular hind of marriage, or rather polygamy. Any number of them, as ten or a dozen, joined in a society together, which was, per haps, requisite for mutual tie tsi.ce in those barbarous times. In odes to link this society the r....ser, they took an equal number of wives in common, and whatever children were born, were nepaard to belong to all at them, and were accordingly provided for by the community. In Peru they have several wives, but one, arprineipai, which is wedded with solemnity. The bridegroom goes to th, bride's house, and puts an ottoya, which is an open shoe, on her tout ;if .he is a maid, it is made of wool—if other wise, at reeds. fh.s being done, he carries her home. In the Brazils no marriage ceremonies take place t upon the consent of the bade and her hiehels, h. takes her home; if unfaithful, the husband may mil her. When will marline become a reasonable eerrenuitly ? By al.cient law of England, if any Christian WWI did marry with a woman that was a Jew, or a Christian vrocts.in dad marry with a Jew, it was felony, and the party so oehudiug should be burnt alive (3 Inst. 69); or, as the author of Pieta says, buried alive. MR. HUME. Friday sennight, Mt. Husta was entertained with a public dinner in the Guildhall of Montrose, at which mote than a hundred Gentlemen were present; among Whom were the Hon. WILLIAM Mame, M.P. for Forfarshite, Mr. CARNEGIE of Craig°. the Paovorr and Magistrates, and a numbe r o f the respectable in habitants of the Burgh. Mr. ANDERSON, Dean of Guild, was in the Chair. Mr. Hulas, on his health being drank, returned thanks at some length, and pledged himself to perse vere in that line of Parliamen tary conduct whicid obtained him the approba tion of his constituents. Several Gentlemen addressed the Meeting, on their healths being drank; and the evening passed in the greatest harmony and cordiality. Monday se'nnight, the piece of plate voted by the Burghs of Montrose, Brechin, and Arbroath, to Mr. Hume, was presented to that Gentleman in the Ti ades Hall of the latter place by Mr. W. Bowan, the Dean of Guild, in presence of deputations from Montrose and Brechin, and a number of other Gentlemen. Mr. Hums was accompanied by the Hon. W. MAMA, M.P. and Sir JAMES CARNEGIE, of Southesk, Bart. Thursday, the freedom of the Burgh of Perth, as a guild brother, was presented to Mr. Hums, in the Guildhall there. Mr. HUME was afterwards enter tained with a dinner in the Salutation Inn, at which about 80 Gentlemen were present, Mr. Roarer Has• MAN, in the Chair; Convener ANDERSON, Croupier. ROB ROY MACGREGOIE When Roa ROY MACGREGoII was on his death-bed, a Gentleman, IA hum he had reason to consider as an enemy, came to see him. On being requested to ad mit the visitor to his bed -side, he said, " No enemy shall see Rob Roy in the posture of defeat. Raise me up ; put on my clothes, and buckle on my arms, and then admit him." He was obeyed : the guest was received with cold civility by the dying man, and in a short time departed. " Now," said Rob Roy, " now help me to bed and call in the piper.", The piper appeared, Rob Roy shook hands with him, and desired him to play Cha tuik tuikadgh, and not to cease while he continued to breathe. He soon expired, with the " voice of war" pealing around him. BENEFICIAL AND EXTENSIVE LEGACY. JOHN M‘LACHLAN, Esq. formerly teacher of Ma thematics in Glasgow, who died in Spring last, at Calcutta, has bequeathed a handsome legacy, sup posed to be about Twenty Thousand Pounds, the resi due of his fortune, for the establishment of Free Schools in Glasgow, for the education of male and female children of poor Highlanders residing in and about the city, and supplying books and stationery to those who are not able to purchase them. The trust is confided to the LORD PROVOST and Magis trates of Glasgow, the Ministers and other Members of the General Church Session, and the Ministers and Managers of the Gaelic Church or Churches of the said City, for the time being, and to their successors in office for ever. The boys, besides a grammatical knowledge of the English language, are to be taught writing, arithmetic, and book-keeping ; the girls, be sides a proper knowledge of the English language, writing, and the first five common rules of arithmetic, are to be instructed in needlework, and such other useful employments as may enable them to gain an honest living after leaving school. The executor of the Rev. PETER BEAUVOIR, late of Downham-hall, in the county of Essex, paid last week the sum of £38,000 to the Stamp Office, being the duty on £720,000! payable to the residuary le gatee, RICHARD BENYON (now RICHARD BENTON de BEAuvoin). This fortunate legatee was no relation to the testator. Above £50,000 were otherwise left in legacies. The immense property was bequeathed by the testator independent of his freehold estates, which are of considerable value. In addition to this prodigious w ealth, the testator possessed and retained till the day of his death a living of £3OO a year! Thursday night a fire broke out in an old wooden tenement, the corner of Lady Wynd, at the foot of the West Port, Edinburgh. The house had long been used as a common resort for lodgers of the humblest description, a great number of sshom were, in conse quence of the calamity, thrown out of their quarters for the night. By a plentiful supply of water, and the assistance of the neighbours, the flames were con fined to the tenement, which was completely demo lished. It is feared that some lives have been lost, ' an an Irish labourer, who occcupied one of the gar.' rets, with two of his children, are missing. Upwards of fifty families were burnt out. The fire is under stood CO have been occasioned by a candle falling on one of the miserable pallets, composed of shavings or straw, on which most of the wretched inmates slept. NATIVE GRATITUDE I—Friday, at the Recorder's Court, Dublin, a woman was indicted for stealing a set of bagpipes horn Denis Sullivan, a Kerry piper.— The woman was acquitted, and the Court ordered the pipes to be restored to their owner, a poor miserable looking man, whose care-worn cheeks and hollow eyes (though unfavourable to the expression), evinced the greatest delight at again possessing the source of all his joy, and solace of many an hour of griping poverty ; in the,fulness of his heart, the Kerry piper begged the Court would allow him to strike up GOD save the King, or Patrick's Day—the Court, however, begged to dispense with this proof of the musician's gratitude. NEW INSURANCE COMPANIES.—Dr. PRICE said of the Projectors of Insurance and Annuity Schemes in his day, (about 4.0 years since) " they believe that the schemes they are supporting will last their time, and that they will be gainers, and as to the injury that may be done to their successors or to others—it is at a distance, and they care little about it," in the event they all failed; but the Projectors of the pre sent day, find it of little consequence whether their schemes " last their time," or not ; for it, by under selling, they can only raise a business, they gain a profitable employment; and when they have ex hausted the money they have collected, a new set of dupes enable them to start a new scheme, and gain new pri,fits. Two new Insurance Companies are an t nounced, to effect Insurances at 25 per Cent. under : the ordinary rates, the Projector of which was the Manager of an Insurance and Annuity Company, which, after a run of some years, he finished, without leaving the Annuitants and Shareholders a Shilling !

The subject occasioned much conversed= and debate yesterday at Tarter sail's: The backers of Swap for the Leger am dissatisfied: some say he was Toned from winning, others say Ms plates (or shoes) were "ell" too tight, and the whiners say-be is a sulky berse-; but Mr. POWs.avr, his owner, was beard to say, after he had beat Theodore for the Gascoigne Stakes ea Wednesday, that he was at a loss to account for his set winning the Leger by any other means than that he was al= up, which means something like a will V'his own.

He also won the XY Z Stakes of 25gs. each, at New castle, beating two others. , STIRLING FRATERNITY OF CHAPMEN. On Wednesday this ancient fraternity gratified the inhabi tants of Stirling and its vicinity with the annual contest for the prise-ring, a eustom which has been frequently described. The time limited for riding is an hour, and the person who bears the ring off most frequently in that time is declared victor. In the present case the prize was carried away by slr. JOHN GIBSON, vintner, who was also the successful competitor last year. A foot race was run by two boys, for a bonnet and a pair of stockings, agreeably to ancient custom: and thereafter a foot-race was run round the course,o men, for a prize of a guinea. Both races afforded con sul sport. Two horse races then took place, which excited great interest, being keenly contested. In the evening the orethren again met and partook of an excellent supper; the evening was spent with the utmost conviviality. Sir Cam's= Bum Ust week shot in Heath&ld Park a re markable fine woodcock, which weighed nearly 12 ounces. The early appearance of these birds is said to indicate an early if not severe winter. Wednesday last, an extraordinary large curlew was shot in the lower part of the Upper Pool, near Lon don Bridge: it measured six feet from the extremity of the wings, and was the largest bird of that species ever killed so high up the River. There are immense quantities of wild fowl lower down, which,•according to immemorial prophecy, foretells a severe winter. The first view of the Sans Culotte Statue of Achilles, placed, at the expense of the Ladies, in Hyde Park, strongly reminded a Correspondent of a circumstance which occurred many years ago, in the South of Scot land. The mistress of a Ladies' boarding-school, by way of compliment to her patron, or principal friend, had his coat of arms finely painted and put up as a sign—not recollecting that the supporters of the shield were two warriors in puns naturalibus, or thinking of any incongruity between such figures and the nature of her establishment. But the circumstance did aot escape a wicked wit, who wrote at the bottom of the board—. le Thh sign's plac'd here, that all may ken, " The dames within love naked men !" The wife of a wine-merchant, of Bristol, lately eloped with her husband's confidential clerk, previously rob bing him of upwards of £lOOO. A RAM—At the Public Office, Cheltenham, on Saturday last, Williams Deals was charged with violating the per son of Sarah Field. The prisoner Teemed about 25 ; the prose cutrix some 10 or 12 years more, and by no means irresistible in personal attractions, gave her evidence in a most collected man ner, and proved the capital offence, which she stated to have been committed a little after eight o'clock on the evening of Thursday last, the fair-day. She admitted however, that she had walked for a considerable time with the prisoner, until, at the bottom of Winchcom-street, he dragged her off the road into a public path, where, within 100 yards of the highway, he effected his purpose; but she was too much exhausted, from struggling with him, to cry out, or make any noise whatever. Deals was committed to take his trial at the next Spring Assizes. The pro 'tenth:, however, expressed ber willingness to enter into a ms- Itrimonial accommodation of the unfortunate affair. Lewis Owen was executed at Carnarvon last week for a highway robbery and an attempt to murder, near Llanrwst. It was attended with some singular circumstances :—So superstitious and prejudiced are the honest Welsh inhabitants of that •" mountain re• gion," that no carpenter could be procured in that town to make the gallows ; and at last the job was undertaken and completed near Pwllheli. It was brought to Morfa Sciont, in the dead of the night ; but there was again a serious dilemma, for no one could be engaged to erect the fatal tree; and it would not have been erected had not the Sheriff employed his own servants on the work. Other difficulti e s still presented themselves : a cart must be had to convey the convict, and accordingly the cart of a carrier was fixed upon for the purpose, but the woman to whom it belonged, with tears in her eyes, begged the Sheriff not to bereave her of her bread, for if the cart was taken, no one would in future suffer their goods to be removed by it. This appeal was irresistible, and it was given up At last the came was taken from the cart of a respectable innkeeper ; the vehicle was coloured dark, and the culprit was carried in it. When the execution was over, there was nut an individual who could muster up courage to take down the gallows, and it was standing a few days ago, to the great terror of the neighbourhood—male and female. The prisoner's Mo ther, we hear, was present at the execution, and fainted away. She was with great humanity con veyed away in the Sheriff, carriage. The horror which was depicted on the faces of the multitude, when the wretched man was turned off, is said to tie indescribable. The hangman, on returning to Chester by the mail, was recognized by the passengers, who joined in a general turn-out; the coachman was obliged to give him an ejectment a and not till then would the passenger: proceed.

OLD BAtLIY.-•►T'H#9 DAV, On the itenoamia takint hie seat on the hoinal, the Crier of the Court immediately orderbd an women and ehildttntn retire, when Juba Henewt, Kann king, and PriThum Nnh. appeared at the bar to receive the awful judgment of death, paged upon them for an unnatural armee. The Clerk of the Arraigns having *Asti the priconets what they had to say why they should not die accord* to Holland, with tears, belled for mercy, on account of his wife and children. King said nothing, but seemed absorbed in grief. North (who bad formerly been a schoolmaiter in the Navy) pleaded insanity and sail, that having received a blow on the bead, he was subject to fits, and had been ditchargedtrom his Majesty's ship Aurora, on account of the contusion, and at times was se deranged that be was unconscious of his actions. The RSCORDIII, in a most impressive manner, theh pasied the awful sentence of Death upon the prisonen respeetively, and im plored them to spend the short time they had td live In true re pent:awe; their / transgressions were of such a des ription that they must not expect any mercy on this side the grave. The prisoners then retired from the Bar.—The day for essiSO 4 " tion was not mentioned. Bow.Srater.—Yesterday, a person calling himself Mu Ward, and stating that be belonged to the Theatre Royal, y. market, was brought before Sir Dictum) Manzi, for an assault made aggravatee.etreumsturces. Mrs. Parket; landlady of the Orange Tree public-house, Illoorbsbury.place, stated, that about nine o'clock on Sunday night, Mr. Ward, accompanied by a friend, came into her house; that his friend called for a glass of gin and water, and they went bato the parker; that before they had been long in the room she heard a great noise, some person talking very loud, and pre scatty a Lady and Gentleman came out of the room, complain. ing that they bad been alarmed by one of the Gentlemen who bad just come in pullbg out a large pistol, and threatening to shoot any person who should offend him (no one having said a word to him), and brandishing the pistol in all directions. While the Lady and Gentleman were relating the circumstances •to Mrs. Parker, Mr. Ward came out of the parlour with the pistol in his hand, swearing that he would shoot any one that stood in his way; he particularly directed his conversation to John Ri clazrds (coachman to Dr. Lester), who was sitting quietly in the tap-room ; he presented the pistol at him, and threatened to blow his brains out. John Richards said, on his examination, that he felt himself under great apprehension from Mr. Ward's violent conduct ; that as soon as he could get out with sAfety, he went to seek a watch man ; that nut being able to find one, he tried to get a constable. and while inquiring for one he met with the Bow street patrol in Southampton-row, and they accompanied him to the public-house. Thomas Amsden. one of the Bow street patrol, stated, that being on duty with others of the patrol, and b ing informed by the last witness of the disturbance at the Orange Tree public= house, they went there, and found Nit-. Ward in the tap-room; he was walking about, abusing every one in the house, saying they were all a pack of cowards, t hat th e re was not an English man in the room. Witness desire , : him to he peaceable, and he directly drew from his pocket the large horse pistol which the witness produced, and threatened to shoot the witness, who, to gether with Godfrey, his fellow patrol, tried to take it away, bus they did not succeed until Mr. Ward bad given Amsden a severe blow on the head with the butt end of the pistil. - The pistol appeared to be a part of an old gun-barrel, set in the stock of a horse pistol; it was, however, with a cock. Mr. Ward, during the examination, was making all sorts of flesnwes,andwas evidently under the influence of liquor : he asked the coachman if he was afraid of bring shot with a pistol with out a cock? the coachman said that he did not notice whether it was cocked or no—that he was in fear of bring shot, and that any one might have knocked Itim down with a feather. A friend of Mr. Ward's informed Sir litcn•an that for the last few days something unpleasant had disturbed Mr. Ward's mind, and he had given way to liquor. Sir RICHAaD Biawic remarked, that the charge *as too eat , rageous to be overlooked, and he should detain r. Ward until two housekeepers became responsible for bis good behaviour. Mr. Ward was then taken away in custody, and Sir iticuAall Brame strictly enjoined the constable not to start him to have any liquor. In the evening Mr. Ward appeared 'pretty calni (owing to the Magistrate's injunctions), and he expressed his thanks to Sir RiCHARD fur his kind treatment, and gave bail fur his good eon ,duct, promising on his own part to be more circumspect in futures Mr. Ward's friend who was with him drinking the gin and water at Mrs. Parker's, took himself off as soon as Ward begatt his violence. A publican brought up a young fellow who had broken his windows, in revenge for his having turned him out of his house, because of being quarrelsome whilst playing at bagatelle.—Sir RIC/1 ARD ordered the young man to pay for the windows he had broken, and fined the publican .k. 5 for suffering the game of eagrdelle to be played in his house! PREMIUMS FOR PLACES.—Application wai made to Sir IL BIRNIZ yesterday at Bow -street, for a warrant against a person with numerous aliases to his name, for defrauding va. rious persons under the pretence of hiring them as clerks at a weekly salary of from 20s. to .50s. per week ; and requiring a de posit of £lO. as security for money passing through their hands. Offices were opened in various parts of London, and one in the country, and many have suffered from their credulity. The case before Sir RICHARD, however, was specific, and an officer was directed to accompany the applicant, in the hope of disci,- Tering the delinquent; Sir RiCHARD commissioning him to seize him by the collar and bring him to the office, as he would justify his conduct without putting him to the further expense of paying for a warrant. Harros-Gagers.lsaac Junes, of Dog and Duck-yard, Prince's-street, Bedford-row, was charged with beating his wife in a most cruel Manner. The prisoner, who spend , : the greater' part of his time in alehouses, while his five children are supported by the Industry of his wife, who is a milk-seller, came Koine on Sunday evening, and demanded money of his wilc, that he might again go carousing ; when, on her refusing to give hint more than sixpence, he snatched up the handle of a fire-shovel, and inflicted six desperate wounds on ber head, and would have probably murdered her, had not her screams and those of her children brought assistance, who secured him. The poor woman was so weak, from loss of blood, that she was obliged to be as. slued into the Office. The fellow Was committed, with order to give 24 hours notice of bail. A respectable looking publican ['lathe vicinity of Lewisham, attended for advice how to get his wife back, she having eloped from her home and three children, and was now living in Hampstead-road with a mechanic who had worked at a mansion in Kent during the summer, and boarded and lodged at his house. He had seen his faithless rib, who refused to return home, or to account for some things she had taken away. The applicant was t old that his remedy was by civil process only. QUEIN-Smart.--NZW MAIM:API Acr.---The first application at this Office to be sworn under the provisions of the new Mar riage Act, was made yesterday by a youthril couple of comely appearance, residing at Battersea. They had, it seenuti, pre. sented themselves to male the affidavits required, previous to the publication of banns, before the Minister of their own Parish, but he refused to administer the oath, and they were therefore compelled to appear before a Magistrate in a Public-Office for that purpose. A printed form of the affidavits having been pro.. cured from the Reverend Pastor of St. Margaret's, Westmin ster, was filled up at the Office and signed by the whit-, who, having beat sworn in the customary form, departed with their wishes thus far gratified. G. Nichols, aged 15, and J. Damen, aged 12, were brought up by a Mr. Burke, having been found lying under the rails of the Old Sanctuary, crying and in great distress. Upon their case being inquired lout, it appeared they, and about 20 more, had been apprenticed from Barnet, to a silk-manufacturer at Twy• ford, Berks. From thence they had, with three others, ab sconded, in consequence of having gone to a fain without theft master's permission, and had made their way to Loodpa. Ono of the Overseers of St. Margaret's offered to take charge of t hem until their master is acquainted with their situation. Lostatern-rralrr.—Lyon Cvlsen was yesterday convicted in g penal) , of Ss. for being disorderly at the Royalty Theatre on Sa. turday night, and ordered to dud bail for au assault on the Pit. keeper. Uutau-Ilaat.--Edieerei Hods" a boy under 15, appre n ti ce to a respectable tradesman, was brought up on a charge of having violated his master's daughter, who is deaf and dumb, and under the age of consent. 'lle evidence was wholly eireunutantial. The injured child was not present, and the offender was in con. ce remanded, to give time for further root sequence \ . . i) ;i
