TuT On Tuesday sight, the .24.1 inst.. a few lTinefll.4 offer rig o'clock, an officer belonging to the Dock Police meta man, named Merphy, at the Sallhooese. dock with some ropes which he bad stolen from" WS. set. The co.oostrble. asked where he had got th-rot, and tint brim/ able to get a satisfactory amount. be took the man hoe easterly, and conveying him to Bride's/11. they met with another Irishman, named Peter Riley. Murphy told Riley that he less going to Bridewell, and asked the latter whether he would see a countryman of his taken to Inch a place. Riley then swore a terrible oath, and threatened the constable rt.st If 110 did set let the Prisoner go, he would knock his brides oat. The conttable Wowed. upon whirl§ Riley knocked him down by a violent blow on the beck ; but another mutable then came top and as sisted to Irmo the Primmer. Several Irishnson, ptiocipally occupied about the dock.. then assembled sod threatened to murder the constables if the Poi soner was not set at liberty ; a body of constables. however. more up, and the Prisoner was taken to B:idertell. Four of the mutable* afterwards went In search of Riley, and found him ligining with ano ther mars near the Old Dock-Rates. As aeon as the con. sow," approached, two of them were knocked down ltiley, bat they soon secured hie, anti he then called out to his companions to assist him. A numerous body of Irishmen immediately serreentied them, and muleamered to rescue the Prisoner. The constables produced their staffs, and with some difficulty kept Vie mob back, bet they wets l.,tsntly covered by • shower of stone", though fortunately they were not much injured. After some time Riley was secured in lioitiewell. Between eight and nine o'clock the same evening, Iwo women were apprehended at the King's Dock. by two watchmen, and as they were coming through Darvren's.weint, they were overtaken by sia or seven Irishmen. who called oat, " Let them go, rescue them ;" by which means they collected a large mob, sad the watchmen were severely beaten; but, assist ance being neer at hand, ells women were secured and taken to Bridewell, as were two of the men who bad tad ed to regale the women. At this time there were from 8000 to 10,000 people assembled resod the Bridewell, among whom were several of the Irish recruits destined for South America, who threatened to pull down the building if the Prisoners not let oat, sod to murder all the constables. A fashlowaht• dressed man. who is said to be one of the Wirers of the Satoh American volunteers, was ob served to be particularly active in the mob, and was beard to sly, "This is so place for an Irishman to be in ; for they have been doing nothing but gcttiog drank: •not, my lads, u• will have them out in be I minutes." Several of the mob then answered, " By' J---a we will." The pavement was then pulled up, l and with the stones they broke down the yard door.l with the frames of which Nod stones i they demolished all the windows, and then began to work at the door into Bridewell, which was double-locked, with ironbera acmes, hot which they very soon tore from the hingm. The Officer then called nut for the keeper of Bridewell, and at the same time • Messenger was dispatched to the Mayor, with information of these rioters proceedings, sad for the aid of the military. Some heavy threats were now made to murder the keeper and constable', if the Prisoners were not im mediately discharged ; upon which the keeper thought it advisable to let two of the last Prisoners out, whom the mob carried upon their shoulders through the streets almost the Docks. At this period the Mayor, with a party 'at soldiers arrived, and met the assembled osoltitode in Strand-street, who instantly began to disperse. Amongst those who were seen retrial% wet the officer before-mentioned. whom a young man, who bad noticed his smithy at Bridgeton, seised hold of, and two others ; and they were given in charge to the military, who con veyed theca and several other' to the fir-'sage Bridewell. It was now between ten and eleven o'clock, after which lime the mob gradually decreas ed. and peace for the night was restored. Daring these tumultuous proceedings several of the constables were ly emended. Soon after the door of the Dock Bridewell was forced open, two of the mumbles standing near the pion° were reeognis-d by the mob, and immediately they were knocked down and beat with sticks till their lives wets despaired of, and afterwards dragged loom Danever-street to be thrown into the Dock—which was woolly carried into 'lint, as they were thrown over the edge of the DoLk, but fortunately they :caught hold of • vessel, which slaved their lives As soon as these two officers were thrown into the Dosk. the mob gave three cheers, and thew went in smooch of more constables or watchmen, threatening to serve them in the same manner, bat luckily without sot. errdiog in their object. Two or three constables were carried into shops ed with blond from wounds in their heads, and mach braised from bay. toy been jumped upon while down. On Wednesrlsy morning Mr. Broadiey.the Super. totendent of the Dock l'olice, with four others, wea l to the Smith shore. (the place where the Sooth Ame rican volunteers assembled to received their orders) by order of Captain Boyd, one of their officers, to s point out any of the ring-leaders not yet taken. As soon as the mutable§ made their appear:mom, the whole of the men armed themselves with large pav ing 'tones and pieces of copper dross, threateniog to murder them If they did not taro back ; and they im-1 atediately began to throw at the silken with such violence that the constables were obliged to take to ' their heels as fast as they could, had they were fol lowed by the mob, who continued to throw missiles after them. Mr. Brantley. in wain mood, re. 'vitriol a stone which fractered his chill, and was struck in almost every part of his body with dif ferent moose. One of the constables bad his heed eat in • shocking moaner ; and soother was knocked down; kicked, beaten with stows, and then jumped upon. The mob atm coolitmed their permit of Mr. Brindle?, who no Into a timber-yard sear the Queen's-decks sod eseeeelod himself in a saw.rit. —He wee followed into the yard by the mob, who, with &Mita oaths, thresiessed to murder hie If they could And him; but forteestely its 'seeped their eigl!ance.

It is instituted by 11,5 voila against the husband, formerly a Cornet in the Daemons. The validity of the marriage 1 4 contested ~n the ground of its having been enlem nised in France, not sct•nrding to the rites and cere monious nhservoal in that country, bet according to their of the Church of England. It was celebrated with the leave of the Doke of Wellingtnn, ■s es pressed in a latter from E. Byrne. Adjatant-Grase. ral.solitressed to the English chaplain who perfotmed `the office. -- - • Dr. SwAnT raid, that the libel which he sow prayed to he admitted was • libel in prertem, the pert) against whom ha appeared being actually in contempt, having been some time out of England, and solseqeently joined, as he believed, the loser gents in South America. The marriage, be should contend, ought to hare been had according to the rites of the country where it was celebrated, so as these sere no impediments to such celebration, and the parties had been duly domiciled. lie should sub mit that they had been so domicile*, sod that the ceremony should have followed the custom of Fraser, in which country marriage, by the existing law, is a civil rite. There was a casein point, decided in thel Archer' Court, in 1794, Middleton and Combs's: one of these parties was a minor ; they were resident at St. Omer, end were married at Finns ; and a suit, arising out of similar circumstances. was brought (or nullity of marriage. Sir William Wynn, in his res ume', observed, that if it was good according t• the rites followed there, it was good Isere ; bet, if it was not good according to those riles, and in that place, it was not good elsewhere. The Learraesl Counsel trusted, ender these circumstance., that the Court would hold that they were able to enforce the up. ',forint* of the party, and admitting the libel, would permit them to go on to proof, and decree the party to give such appearance. Sir W. SCOTT said, that the Loomed Counsel would find great diffieeity in Marcia( him to determine this cam at once, in the absence of the putty. " A great many such marriages had taken place in France recently. and he could not be expected, by such a .cep, to decide that all of thews were null and void." lie should admit the libel, however, for the par. pose of co mpell.ng the appearance. Several Clergy. men of the Church of Eogland had sent to him a grea t num ber a letter', spry imperfectly addressed, on the subject of marrisse4, contracted like Ilse one in question, during the residence of the Amy of O. collation in France. The Court was aware of the &Smutty of these cases, which were grave and re lions. end hoped that this admission would cause at a marsnce. w‘nvEn r. a 111411 t. This was milieu ea the ethuiDaioo of a tespon !ire alle4ation, on the part of Mrs. IVamarr. in a ~it of divorce instituted against her by Msjn► W•f• eEc, of the 28th regiment (Densfries). tiv reason of adultery, alleged to have been committed. pirtieu. on ih o sth of March, 1813, with Tte.nr nrels Jolsey Esq. On that day, the lady is pleaded to hate been dimnsemal with Mr. Jones, in a siteation which admitted of no doubt; the icttlirelars of which it is •nneeesaary to recspitulete. A verdict was gained by Major W at Common Law; end the mileeatinn in question went generally to deny the facts pleaded in the libel, given in on his behalf. sill to explain some particular points upon which the proof of the adultery was founded. It appeared that the party preventing the snit had failed to pro date and examlim one very material witness; and in consequence of the Counsel for the lady expressing their wish to minims that witness also •polo their per. Sir Wct.t.t am Score, after stating the 'shaman of the different artirles of the original libel, and com menting opals t►e omission joat noticed. and spoil the nature and character of the elicitation before hint, decided that he wield admit it; bat with this obser vation. that it endearnered to establia% a most im probable case, and such as hardly any evidence could support. Mt ATTORNEY-OEIIIIAL V. JOIIIIISON. The LORD UIIAtICELLOIL •atierstiond that the ie. dictment lo this ace could net be tried for some time, but he thought it right to inform the Gentlenseo en. gaged in it, that no embankment on the river Thames coati) be made without a peecedi.nt writ of ad quod damnurn. becalm it could be considered only as the Line's highway. A ease to Ibis effect would be resod in Nop's Reports. MI. HART r•presented that the City bed constantly had the right of embankment. There use scarcely • port of the River, from flimpton to Woolwich, upon %shirk the City had not exercised these rights. The 11.014 D CHATICILLOR thought it would be found to be emessary that sec% • writ should issue, before any further step was taken. At soy rate, it would be worth while to enquiry into this matter, be. cause when the indictment was tried, whatever might be the merits, a conviction would be the consomme a a neglect to issue 04 writ. Mr. /loans requested to have time to make these enquiries. Mr. HART said, he was also analogs that the mat• ter should be. investigated ; bet he thought there was some difference between • fluid and fluctuating high. way and a bigh.road : a river Might, as had some times happened, change its coarse, and no power or skill of man could at the stowed prevent it.

Mr. Wtr.sus —lt would be seen whether, in this I instance, what the City called its sights could not be I rusted. The LAUD CIIANCELLAIR said, that the first cons'. j devotion was with tetpect to the indictment to be tried. SPI LLER V. DI LLTR.

It will be recollected, Met • rule was obtained by Mr. Chitty,calling on th•Cherch-wardens and Seaton of the parish of St. Andrew, Illelbnrn, to show cease why the brdy of Mary Gilbert, She wife of William Gilbert, a parishioner of that parish, shooltl not be interred. Cause was now shown, and it was coo. tended, that the Ministers and Church-werdrns were not bowed to admit iron coffins. On the other hand it was iodated, that she right of being buried in the church-yard of the parish was a Common Law right, and that so objection could be railed' on account of the materials of which the coffin was made. Mr. GURNEY appeared en behalf of the Minister end Chorch.werdetts, end Mr. SCAILITT end Mr. CHITTY is aepport of the role. The latter contend. ed, that the Minister was bound to inter the corpse. and that a Mandamus ought to be granted by the Court, inasmech as there was not any specific re medy, and in that case the writ of Mandamus was the only mode of proceeding. The Coutr, alter Maine heard the argoments on both sides at considerable length, delivered their 'vi olet, that this was a matter entirely of ecclesiastical joriedictinn, and that they cook! lost intetfere. It appeared by the affitlooits that the Minister end Church-wardens had not Wooed to inter the body in a wooden coffin ; and although the Court, in aid of the Canons of the Church, might grant a Mandamus to compel the Minister to bury t h e body, yet they had no jurisdiction to say mist the body geoid be belled in a particehr way.
