Sunday lost, being Michaelmas day, Liege Pregum, Esq. was for the seemed time sworn into the office of Mayor of this town for the ensuing year; and on Monday, in eidebraiion of the same, he gave an elegant sod onmpittotts dinner at the 'roan flail. The morning was welcomed in by a fine and very general display of flags from the shin piog in the harbour and the public buildings in the town, and the beautiful hells of St. Nicholas's Church wive zest to the day by their eillivehing peals. Upwards of 230 gentlemen of the town cud the adjacent counties of Norfolk and Sutrilk took of the Mayor's hospitality ; the 'lauds were excellent, and the dessert consisted of pities, melons, a profusion of peaches, gropes, and other cliu:ce fruit. Amongst the company were— Sir T. Persios, Bart., Sir F. Ommasnry. T. S. Gooch, Esq. St P., Hear, Wodelieese, L'l, Admiral P.igker, se l Roshbrooke, Se. ke. The day was concluded by a ball et the Bath Room. which was very numerously and fashionably attended. The boll was opened by Mr. Henry Wodehoose and Mist Pre-ton. with • country dance, alter which quadrilles were kept up with great spirit until •n early hour next nimming. The prisoners in the gaol and bridewell, the in teract of the Fisherman's Hospital, and the vari ous charitable institutions in the town, all partook of the Mayor's bouoty, and were plentifully re galed on the occasion. An unfortunate accident happened in the after noon. at the time the Mayne and his frienda were ascending the steps of the Hall, about four o'clock, to sit down to dinner, as is customary, • 'sloe was fired from souse swivels laid oil the quiy, o pp os i te the Town Hall, whew one of them unfortunstly horst, and we are sorry to state, the broken pieces bruised and mutilated seven or eight lads, who were w att li ng D e ar at the lime. One boy was Ile dread hilly cut on the hoed. that he survived only until the Wednesday, when he expired ; another is in • very daabtful state, but the remainder are, we be lieve, doing well, although much hurt. The w an who fired the piece escaped with only • slight bruise on the face ; several large pieces of the swivel were afterwards found in different parts of the town, and one was picksd up about '4OO yards from the place where it was fired. It is surprising more lives were not boat. as there must have been at the time bout two to 300 persons within fifty yards of the gun. Oar theatre closed for the present season on Thursday evening the 13111 ult. with O'Keefre's ad mirable comedy of Wild Oats, and the laughable faire of Sprigs of Laura, for the benefit of that genuine son of Moose., Mr. Stoman. The house was a bumper ; indeed the manager's ex er tio ns t o „citify the public have been repaid by one of the most successful seasons we ever remember to have maimed.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE OXFORD HTiRALD• Sigt—A most extraordinary opininu, as it. appears An or, hiving been inserted io 4 Paper of yours, I shall take the liberty of making a re. remarks un the e".""da wf it. The opinion to whicb I allude Is that of the Comusiseioom• of lifliarispe, is which they authoritatively declare. that eve. y affidavit swnru before a Clergyman, not feeling a Magistrate, preparatory to the puldication of banns under the New Marriage Act, must be drawn up on a ball-mem affitlivit sump.

The Comoneaionere of Riampe build their opinion, 114 it appeera from their Secretary's, Mr Kappeu'e letter, upon the 55111 of George 111. ; and upon reference to that Act I certainly 6sid the following dame in uue of the Schl doles annexed to and Nerving past of the Act;— " Affl , l %% i%% , not Inad..for the immediate purpose of being ,ead, or used in any Court of Lots or Egolts ; for ...fry sheet or piece of piper, psrehmeos or velum Oil whirls the 1111113 e shall or printed, 2.1.81" Then follow the exceptions frum the precedine and all oilier stamp duties. The firit oflshicli is as rotio.b:-- " Affidavits required or suthurised by late, to he made be. fore any Justice ur Jostler, of the Peace, or hi &re any Coin. inissi..luer or Commissioneis of any public Bawd of fb•reiitic•, or any of the Officers arum' under them, or before any other Commiscioncr or Commissioners appoiated o r to 6a appoint ed lir Act of Parliament." Now, I conceive, that under very exception, the opi nion of the Commisstiset• of Stamps might be emcees:o:y eontruver led ; but I will waive this aigunieut altogether, lie cause I contend that the 55.11 of George 111. has no:, and cannot have the slightest reit-mute to Ore subject. By the 4th of George IV. or, in other words, by the New Marriage Act, a new set of affilas its, unknown to the law before this Act, are ieqiiireil ; and persons hitherto incat.a ble of administering au oath (fur I know of no authority which the Clergy, as such, possessed previously to the pass. iog of this Act to administer oaths) are empowered to take certain affidavits; but the Stomp Act, on which the opinion of the Commissioners is Numb el, was passed in the of George 111. that is, in the par 1815. Thus then the mat ter stands: between nix and seven years ego, a Swap Art is passed, by which certain affidavits then taken are required to he written or printed on tapir or parchment, hating a 2s. W. stamp; in 1822 a new Act of Parliament is passed requiring certain oaths to be taken—oaths, let it be ri mem. heved, which, of us • previous step to the marriage ceremony; and these oaths ace, according to the opinion of the Commissioners of Stamps, to be subjected to the provisions of an Act pass. ed scree years before the,e affidavits were Lewd of. By what process of reasoning the latter of these Acts ran be lerusight within the meaning and provisions of the termer Act, 1 have the Commissioners of Stamps to explain ; sa tisfied that it will require all their official acetate.' to con vince the public of the justness of their opinion; fur I am unable, by the most careful examination, to discover any prospective clause in the rifidli of George 111. by which the provisions of that Act are extended to any enactment which the Legislature may, in their wisdom, deem it expedient to make at any future time. We may, I think, pretty confidently contend that the Howse of Commons se ver viewed the Marriage Act is sloe light iu which the Conimissiomes of Stamps de ; fur in th a t rise the Marriage Art must have been regarded as a Homey hal, nod had that been the case, their well.known and proper jealousy of the rights of the country would have pre. vented the introduction of the 'oisome clauses surcest.il in the House of Lords, or, indeed, of the slightest alteration hating been made in the Bill by that House. It used,. I believe, to b^ eintaidered a sound remains of Judicial practice to construe every Act of the logiabisure as favourably as possible for the subject. I leave it to the pubic to determine whether I list • rule has been kept in sight by the Commissioners of Stamps iu framing the opinion which they have put forth. I have been accustomed to consider that the privi!ege whirl, we enjoy of being exempt frum all tears but those im posed by our representatives is • must valuable one; however, the House of Common+ see fit to de:egate that power, I hope that it will find some titter body amen to Mtn's' with it than a Board of Tax or Stamp Conmainnuners; BOW I trust that they all never allow , under the pretence of explaining the law or any other pretext whatever, such a description of persons to usurp that must valoable and int. pullout of their rights as well as curs with inipunitl.
