MOUSE OF LORDS. • The Notate Lords is amusing itself with an mend ed Marriage Act. It is really a pity that the mania of le. gislatiou will let nothing alone. Oar sticklers for old institutions are the drollest creatures imaginable. They are always exclaiming against innovation I and yet are thry as constantly innovating, by piecemeal, until every marry completely changes the nature of the old and ve nerable institutions of the country. We have scarcelran operative clause In the statute-book that can count a bandrvd years since its enactment, or alteration, or amendment. . Yet when a proposal is made to make an unpalatable alteration, however wise, or necessary, we are met with the cry of—" What ! would you encroach upon our. venerable insti tutions'?" While with all our veneration for antiquity, we only resemble the fellow with the old family knife, which bad beep handed down from father to son, for fifty genera tions ; and had only been furnished with a dozen or so of JILIN blades, mad half as mini - new handles. A °lease for rendering the marriages of minors nail and •void. if solemnized without The consent of parents and guar dians, provided the milt of nullity was commenced within 12 months fro% the marriage, was negatived by s majority of eight. The debate was warmly maintained upon it ; and produced the remarkable declaration from the Chancellor, (act:outing to the Morning Herald) that "if the laws of " CiOrt were to be relied upon alone, he would no longer lire " in this country.‘" If these are the Chancellor's sentiments, they may account for an odd description of law, with which it has been the custom to patch up, and eke out the laws of the Deity ; such, for instance, as the law relative to construc tive treason HOUSE OF COMMONS. W. have not space to enter into soy minute examine tin!t of the debate of last night, on the subject of the " Beacon." And it is the less necessary, as the pablic mind is fully made up to the unalterable conviction that a more base endeavour to mislead the public mind, by sue propagation .of slander and falsehood, was never Made by the most mercenary hireling of the most despi cable and desperate faction that ever disturbed the peace cf a community, than this endeavhur of the" ministerial party" in Scotland, with the Scotch Law Officers at their I•ead, to establish a medium of cowardly abase and ma. licious misrepresentation. Foiled at every point in argu ment : their ignorance, their cupidity, their presumption, their despnristn, their mercenary motives fully exposed; nothing remained for the party but the impudence of direct falsehood, and the audacity of the bee turing knave, who thinks to bear down all op-. pwition by the violence of his invective. Tim discovery of this villainous league incensed then to madness. There was no railing away their toed. Their bands and seals were against them and neither evasion nor bullying could do them any sett voce. But the odium of the tranlaction was all they bad to fear. in Parliament they were sure to find a fellow feeling among their Friends'. They therefore set to work to persecute, and, if possible, to destroy the pars , -ties who had contributed to unmask their atrocity; and Mr. Borthwick found the Scotch law as pliant as India robber in their hands. They had no dread of being • called to any account, let them play what fantastic tricks they might. They tad " Friends at Court." The mask ed patrons of the " John Bull" were sure to patronize ths flosoarable proprietors of the Beacon. The cause was a common one ; and from the " lowest deeps" its mini• one rush to one another's aid. That Mr. Abercrombie's motion would be lost, was as certain as that it ought to have been carried; but to try a Minister, or a Minister's friend in that House, is to throw •a lobster into the sea, in the hope of drowning it. The Paris papers of Sunday have brought us very toter eating intelligence from Catatonic By the dend•oflicial re ports from Moncey'sarmy, inserted below, it appears, that Mina, •while supposed by the French to have been forced to shut himself up in Barcelona, had again so entirely out-ma- Louvred his enemies, that he had once more passed between their divisions, and unexpectedly fell upon Vick which, not wittudeading its gerrison, he had nearly carried, had he not bees seciousiy wounded in the action. To this event the French ascribe is some measure the retreat of his troops :- 1 " Gerona. 27th May. 1923. " Yesterdiy the Stith instant. at four o'clock in the morn ing, Mina bating eluded by a niightlyparch General Donna dim' and Biros d'groles, who °couples Mattress, came and attacked Vich with 4,000 men, and a company carrying lad deirsto scale the wails. The garrison of Vich at the time of the attack consisted of only 400 men of the Bth of the line. and 400 of the Royal Spanish corps of Romegosa. The enemy attacked furiously on every point, and the great so- Periority of their numbers gave that hopes of success ; but our troops received their ckarges of infantry and cavalry with calm intrepidity, directed spoil them a well supported Ire, and obliged them to make a busty retreat. A great number of dead and wounded whom the Constitution Maks' had not time to take away, have been found. In this en; prawn,. of 800 men against 4,000, the French and Spanish • Royalist Army has displayed the greatest courage and the most admirable sang froid. Whilst these things were passing at Vich, the garrison of ilostairich made a sortie. Equally beaten oa all points, the Constitutionalists have met with so success ; and at Hostalrich, as well as at Vick, they bare been obliged to retreat, leaving in our power some dead and wounded. It is said that Mina was seriously wounded daring the action, and that this event hastened the onaray's retreat." The Vienne also contains the following Telegraphic Despatch trout Madrid, dated May Nth, and received in Paris ow the SIM of *sumo solidi:— . . st Talaveyra de la Reyna, the Conatitadeaal troops: ussetteting to 1000 infantry and 1108' cavalry.

Amongst these-ere • Lieut.- Colonel sad ten oilcan. Twelve' baggage and prevision warrens, as well as the military sheet, wentaialag 40,000 francs, have tallies into oar power.' This account, eafavourable as it represents the resell of the action to the Spaniards, is evidence 'attrition to prove that whatever might b ase been the disaffection of Ahishal, his army continued • munch to the Consti tutional cause, and determined to fight. In what disad vantageous circumstances it might have been attacked, and what was-the extent of its defeat, remain to be seen. lit& overthrow Cnald ntit.‘beve been complete, when the enemy Could only Watt, of taking 60 prisoners. The Journal des Del/W*44omeg Shit the Cortes ere not to be convoked by tite r Madrid Regency, and that no thing of thit nature will be done befit,e the deliver ance of the King, as it wonWite falling into the original vice with which the present Cortes have been justly re proached." Notwithstanding the arrival of the Duke d'Angottleres at Madrid, those who profess and appear to be best acquainted with Spain asserts, that so far as regards the relative situ ation of the contending armies, the great cause of liberty is much more promising than it wet; some weeks ago. The occupation of the capital by the French was not only anti cipated, and prepared for, but deserted by the-Spanish Pa triots. The further the enemy edtanFes, the more must his forces be diminished, and the more will he be 'ex posed to the attacks of the Guerillas. The desertion of Abisbal bas made no unfavourable impreselon on the public opinion of the Spaniards, and the solitary state in which he left his army. must prove the sound ness of the mass of which it was composed. The skil ful and successful manoeuvres of Mina near Barcelona. son bined with those of Ballasteros in the vicinity of Valencia. unless the latter prove a traitor, are considered as securi ties for the eastern parts of Spain, from which can be drawn all that is necessary to keep up a patriotic war. Thin thi Government or Cortes of Spain entertain a disposition to listen to any of the propositions of tbefreecb, is an idea that _ is completely scouted. • • &roar Exerts/44412 o c— cLocat.—Consols opened this 'morning at 811 1,0041 t price they remain steady. The Expresses fr Paris this morning bring the French rentes at 88 65 on Monday. and Spanish at 433. The private account* from the above capital state that Mina had succeeded in taking 'l9O, but was olilited•to abandon it on the approach of a superior force. We un derstand that a certain /seat Hebibw house in the City discounted at the Bank 160,000 t. at four per cent. and lent it on stock at the rate of five per cent. which has caused money to be more plentiful in the market. It is stated that the French Ministers require 87 for the new French Loan, but that the contractors will not give more than 85, which is the cause of the contract being postponed. FORSION Fens.—Spanish floods opened at si to 1, with some business doing. .We do slot hear u yet of 'the New Spanish Loan being contracted for.

Tile Kiso.—The papers of this morning make na mention of the sate of his Majesty's health, but the Courier of last night says, that his Majesty is now so well, that it is expected he will remove to the Cottage in Windsor Park, previous to Ascot Rages. The Courier re presents his Majesty's late indisposition to be a slight return of gout, hut unaccompanied with either fever or erysipelas. Yesterday the Duke of York visited the King. The Duke of York, as Commander-in-Chief, held a Levee yesterday at his Office in the Horse Guards. The Glasgow frigate, having on board the Marquess of Hastings, from Bengal, arrived at Genoa on the 224 ult. Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, Mr. Little wood, the King's Messenger, arrived in Downing-street, with despatches from St. Petersburg.

Fifteen hundred individuals, by this melancholy accident, are rendered Wageless, besides losing nearly all their little property.--(Frankfort Pa per, 31 ay 20.) For some time past fires have been extremely frequent in the Grand Duchy of Posen. There was one on the sth, in the town of &Tose°, which destroyed 137 dwel lings and 147 barns and other buildings.—(Aid.) Cur Flustirasv.—A Court of Aldermen was held yester day, at Guildhall.

ASCENT or a BALGOON.—Yesterday, an immense mul titude assembled at Hackney and its vicinity, in conse quence of the expected ascent of Mr. Green, the item n .ut, in his Coronation Balloon. The lawn of the Mer maid Tavern, where the ascent took place. contained up wards of 600 persons. The tops of the houses were co vered with people, most of whom had the patience to wait for several hours in anxious expectation. The prepara tions for filling the balloon began at twelve o'clock, but the proereix made was so slow, that it was seven before she balloon shewed any disposition to move. Mr. _Henry Hunt, who was present, addressed the company, at the equest of Mr. Green„ stating that the delay should be remedied as sooestnarailile, and that it had been occa sioned by some pemonerho had. no doubt inadvertently, meddled with the v-alvti rope, and given vent to the gas at the top of the halloos.-Soon afterwards, Mr. Green, having seated himself in the car, the ropes were cut, and the balloon moved towards the trees with rather an alarm ing force, and in an unexpected and awkward direction. It had ascended a little, when Mr. Green thought it ad.l visahle to remedy the defect, and threw the ropes oat to the crowd below, who pulled the balloon to the ground. The necessary alteration being made, be once more di rested his vehicle into the upper element, and at about a quarter past seven be most majestically mounted above the clouds. amidst the applinses of thovsands. dust as he reached the steeple be threiv out soniebailast.

None of the London papers have inserted a hill account of the proceedings of the Moeda% of the Pitt Chas of Scot land on Wednesday last, and our column are too much is. espied with matter of another Mod to afford It room ; se that the English public are in danger of losing much enter tainmeot. The Earl of Hopetoun was in the Coale, midge and Sir Walter Scott were the chief speakers. The toasts were numerous, and their style was varied—from grave to Ray—from lively to sdlemn."The Memory of the Right Hoe. Wm Pitt," was drank, of coarse, in silence; "The House sad Estate of Hopetoun," with loud applause. Many of of the toasts were such as are usual on steelier r.ocessions, bet some were trulyoriginal. After " the Hoes* of Brune wick" there was given by the NobleCheirman,r the Sixtaea Happy Days is which Scotland was honoured by the pre- sence of her Sovereign ;" and before " the House and Es tate of Hopetoun," Sir Walter Scott prefkced the toast by saying, "he should propose to drink :the last of those happy days which they had just commemorated. He would drink the Hero who hal been last honoured with our Sovereign's presence—the family whets he was last entertained, and which bad long flourished the de fendelesSetb* country ' and might they long flourish as its ptidEgrdle would drink the ground on which they had laftVadlietb with their Sovereign." • " The Noble Chairmalle(Mititeself," as might be expected, " unable ' to make an adapate return for the favour which bad been conferred on his family by the last toast. Praha from such a quarter was lodged calculated to fill his mind with self-consplacency—but at the same time to ember. rose his feelings, and aggravate the sense of his own deficiencies." He, of coarse, could think of nothing else than returning lavishly to the quarter whence they had come, the compliments be had received; and the Noble Lord and the distioguisheid Baronet, who of most ilea have the. least need of any additional admiration, praised one another, as if cub was a young candidate for fame.—But perhaps thel only cociforined to the old country adage " claw me and 1 will claw you." The Meeting being consecrated to one memory, occasion was taken to introduce another or two. The first of this, series was a the Memory of Henry Viscount Melville, " and the "silence" in which it was drank is remarkable enough, for not a word is said about its reception or about the merits of the deceased. If the " silence" were Rot soleina" we should think no inconsistency. for see lemnity was a quality which " Harry Dundas" neitheW assumed nor liked ; but if the silence were made the occasion of withholding the acknowledgements which the parties owed " Harry," the company was very un grateful. No men on earth, wd believe, had been under more obligation to a man, than that set bad been to Harry Dundee. He once, we remember, appealed to a large company of the same character, am ambled at Edinburgh, and inquired if there wee any one present on whom he' had not conferred a favour? Harry used such men as his tools; bat he paid them well for their work. He was not rich I• personal property; but, no matter; the property he be. 'stowed was not the more acceptable to such public naes for being public property. The patronage of India wea l his ; and that all Scotland knew full well. On ids native couotrymen and townsmen be bestowed it liberally; and it were want of tnentory, indeed, on their part, if on this occasion the remembrance of him did not renal a sense of their obligations. The next " Memory" which the Noble Chairman thought proper to propose, was that of " Robert late Marquess of Londonderry." This was a " memory° that was truly calculated to be drank—if drank at all--1 with a solemnity more than usually awful ; but whether it was calculated for the occasion of the Meeting will be a question with some own of delicacy. Delicacy,however, seems to have been oat of the question on this occasion;, for though nothing, so far as we know, was said in behalf of " their Vend's, ' much more was said of his successor " Lord Cutiereagh," than can be admitted by any otbet eompenro be true. The No tie Chairman in introducing the toles said, "he would propose the memory of one et the 011tATILST STATIMISN,—One of the most ENLIOUTBMIII men, who ever shared in the Government of this country." If the fitness of these terms should be questioned In their application, the Noble Chairman may perhaps observe, as he did when proposing the health of Sir Walter Scott," that " he could not on this occasion be guiled by the colt riles of ordinary propriety."—"The name of Sir W. Scott was the fame of his country. He was the brightest flower Is the garden of fancy. His name and his talents were the birth-right of the present, and would live in all future genera tions." This toast was drank amid loud acclamations : but it was not enough for the bard to be toasted in his own name, and lapis own presence. The Lord Provost soon,after took occasion to toast-" the Great Unknown" the author of those works of fancy'and of genius whose reputation was not 'confined to this country, but had filled all Eu rope." To this the worthy Provost added, in the simpli city of hie heart, that could ha bring this person before them, they would no doubt all recognise in him a friend of the great statesman whose name they were met to celebrate. [This toast, says the Edinburgh Star, was received with loud and reiterated applause. in which the distinguished Baronet alluded to, seemed heartily to join ] There is a time when men see double, and there is asetof men in Scotland who affect, to be possessed of second sight. Whither the Learned Judge who followed the worthy Provost, be of either of these descriptions, we possess sot the means of judging; but if not, we think his Lordship, Lord Hermand as he is entitled, spoke what men of sober minds would aceonnt paradoxical, when, alluding to " the Great Unknown , he observed "he hid no doubt, in his own mind, that lie had the author at.psewnt in his view." At this the cons. patsy are—sirel. to have laughed ; as well they might laugh ; binA WO know not whether they laughed at his Lordship or ditbiaobserval.ion. The Edinburgh Star does not state that his loidship, like the Baronet, joined in the prevailing feeling. His Lordship, we must suppose, was as grave as a judge. "The only other toast we have room, to mention; (for the toasts would engross our co- lumns were we to take notice of them all) was that in compliment to the "Lord Advocate and the bar of Scotland"--and we notice' that only on account of the tune with which it was followed. The tune was " There's nae luck about the house." What House did these good folks mean ? [lid they mean the House of Commons? They surely were possessed of second sight. They anticipated the small insignificant majority, in which his Lordship was left last night. . .). m U. 1111Innin nnin OnIALS On Irriday morning. ahuut the hoer of one o'elnelr, the cabin of a man named Doolan. Abide at Tallagb. bill, was burned to the ground. Donlan was awoke - b y the screams of the children,. when he discovered that ti end of the cabin was in flames. There were is the cabin 'et the that!, Donlan, hie wife, *nor Children. As mother.. in-law, a woman named Mary Dowd, and her son, Joha Dowd. The ratio, stith what property it contained and almost ell their clothes, was entirely consumed. For. innately no lives were lost. On Friday night, between the bones of eleVen and twelve o'cloik, a man named Patrick Healy. who resides at Ballymese, near Tallagb, was alarmed hy discovering that his house was on fire. On going out he toned that the bark part oldie thatch was in flames; he immedi4tely gave the alarm,and several of his neighbon rs ca me to i. d ; assistance, but a party of men who kept thennehes eon. eealed, fired several shota at them, and deterred them from extinguishing the the, until the house was entirely consumed. Healy states thit fie would not know any of them. His family, (*MI6 ag of his wife, his three sons. and himself were in the house at the tints it commenced. Peace Officei Waters, with n part of the police, stationed at Fire-bodge. were return. tag from patrolling the neighbourhood of Balliassent ney, and having heard some shots fired in the direction of Healfe house, repaired there ; they foand it on fire, bat arrived too late to save it from being entirely c one . sumed, or to detect any of the persons concerned in the outrage. Peace Officer Waters, and hie party, remained there until day-break, when they returned to house by a different route, but did not succeed in app bending any one. Healy's house had been attacked by a party of men sa the preceding Friday night, between the Lours of tea and eleven o'clock. This gang consisted of a great num ber; they 'were armed with guns and other weapon s; they broke into the house on this occasion. and assaulted Healy , violently, beating him about the head with goon and sticks, telling him to give tap Divine's land, or thri would give him Staunton's death. It appears that ao acre and three roods of land bad been taken from a tea. ant named John Divine by their joint landlord, jr.l Trent, and joined to Holly's farm, for the purpose of veering their farms, whilst at the same time two acres and a half were taken from Healy's farm, and added to Divi ne's. _ On Fndav night, Peace Officer Flanigan, of the Ifee4 Office of Police, in consequence of information received at that Office, proceeded to Blessingtown, where he pro. cured the asaistanre of a party of Major Tandy's Police, who are stationed there; accompanied by this party ks proceeded about six miles farther. to a place called the Cross of the Black Ditches, where they arrived betwent the hours of one and two o'clock on Saturday morning, and soak into custody a man mimed Patrick Keats, whh was in bed at the time, and who is charged as being present at the time when the outrage was committed on M'Kean and his wife, the particulars of which we gave in our Publication of Saturday.— Peace Officer Flanigan brought his prisoner to the Had Office of Police, where he has been identified-by Al'Keon. as the man who said to James Kilbride, " its time we should be going," and as the man who was called "Cap. tain," by the rest of the party. He has been fully coin. milted to Kilmainham gaol, to abide his trial at the ensuing Commission, on a charge of having assaulted John M'Keon, and of having aided and assisted James Kilbride in violating the person of Hannah M'K►oo. PIEVENTSLI.—On Saturday morning, about the hour of five o'clock, Peace Officer Abbott, in COMP. quence of information which he hall received, repaired with a party of Police to the Fifteen Acres in the Phosnix - Park, where a Mr. James C—k, anil a Mr. Edward B--n, both professional gentlemen (of the law) had met on an affair of honour. Oa the arnval of the Police, they immediately quitted the ground. Basra or ingLAND.—According to the accounts pr.. seated to the House of Commons respecting this Corp. ration, there is a remarkable difference in its manage ment from that of the Bank of England. S nce the passing of Peel's Bill, the amount of its Notes in circu lation has increased instead of having diminished. Tha largest quantity of paper (on the average of a half yea) which it had in cir:ulation, was in the half year ended January 1, 1815, which nas 41,528 011 la. Id. The circulation in th e year ended January 1,1819, was nearly the same—viz. 14.477,019 21. sd. In the latter hall year of 1819, and in the first half-year o: 1820, the aver age diminished to ..£4,096296, and-£3 838,476. Since which time they have been considerably higher than at any former time. Half-year ended January 1, 1t321, £4,732,656—Ju1y 1, 1821, £5,214,337 —Jan. I, 1822, £5,175,724 —July 1, 1822, £5,224,167—Jan. 1, 1823, £5,011,193. The average balances in the hands of the Bank of land, from the Treasury, Chancery, and Exchequer, in last year, was 457,7551. 18s. ; in the Accounts wnh the various Offices connected with the Government, 160,5621. 16s. Bd.; on Uncial/71-d Dividends, 141,9191. 11a. 91. No charge is made to the public for the management of the Public Debt, or any other public services. Three ac counts appear altogether creditable to the Bank in cosi tion, both for skill end dae confidence in the man agement of its issue, and in maderation 'towards the public. Its issues were, in the half-year ending January, 1797, only 733,7631. 3s. IJ. Yesterday afternoon a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Coach and Horses, High-street, Whiteebspel, on the body of Judith Hymns, a Jewess, who unfortunatety was tided on Monday afternoon, while in the act of crosting Hurk street, by a saddle horse taking fright at two boys throwing their hats at each other. The poor woman was killed on tie spot. Verdict—Accidental Death. Soon after the verdict, she was buried in the Jews' r i .-rtal-rrountl, Mile-end-resd, attended.by a great number el the Jewish persuasion. rot poor creature was sir months advanced 1n pregame:l,W bps left four young children behind.
