It. is not lam;; since we had occasion to notice the miseries which have been entailed on the in habitants - of llchester, from the power and in fluence which has been exercised there, by the persons who have tl.e controlling influence in the property within that Borough ; hut we do not believe there has occurred in the most depressed or degraded of the Close Boroughs, so flagrant an, abuse of power, in dtfiance.of law and decency, and in .grass breach of the Sabbath, as occurred at a Close Borough in Hampshire, no Sunday last, by the unlawful and forcible possession which was. taken of a tenement in the High-street, in the occupation or a respectable Cooper. Irappears,that, during his absence, the acting constable of the place, assisted by four or five other persons with fire arms; had entered the premises, and, when the tenant. ap plied 1 . .6 thou to give up the possession of it to him, he was told by the Constable, that if he or his friends attempted to Wm. it, they would he fired at from withia. The bustle this transaction created drew a great concourse of peo ple together in the course of Sunday evening, and it was apprehended, from the indignation which was felt in the town, and the injury the tenant was likely to sustain, that a re-possessiou by force would be attempted. The good sense, hoWever, of the tenant mid his friends led them to desist from such an attempt; but all their endeavours to gain a quiet re possession were abortive, from the violence of' the indivitlital who had directed this forcible entry on the premises to,be made, .and who, in the presence of the popu lace, declared to the tenant,, that the constable and his' com panions had His ottozas ,to fire on any one who should at tempt to regain the, possession of the tenement, and that DE WOULD INDEMNIFY the constable mid his colleagues from all the consequences of it. This iiidivituat, by whose .. orders this .tollb,,us let was committed, tve arr hifw - ified, is an Attoiny ;—one of theeletks of the Jasfices of the di vision, ,and the sttAard and Polit,cal Agent of the Patron of the Bmough alluded to; whilst he is, out of this Borough, a great stickler for the independence of the County, - a violent declaimer for tiiC Reform of Parliament, and a liberal contri butor to the.-Manchester Fund The only justification skills for this aggression on the rights of Private individuali is, that the tenement in ques tion, as preten , f•d by this Lawyer, belongs to one of the la esent Representatives of the City of t% ells, and that he 1144 received ttie latter's orders to take possession of it; hut as the respec title_ Member referred to has for many years been is theComaii: , ,sion of the Peace,and must have read in Buns, Wiwaais, and the other books usually referred to by Jus tices of the Peace, t he chapter outhe forcible entries on lands, tenements, &c. SesideS his aeLidowledged deference and aviiw ed attachment to the rights and liberties of the pettple, it is not probable ire would have given surlvan miler, to violate the' law established by one of the most beneficial statutes of the realm, • This Gedtleamo most havie known that the only legal for - Win to t,ire pursued, supposing the te. - nement - re. niece really belonged to bins, was to have brOught an ejei;.tent against the tenaht in possession, and to have tried before it Jury his right to the property in question ; .and had he ohtained a verdict, he would have been entitled to his wilt of possession, and the violence and disgraceful proceed=ings noweomplained of would not have happened. Ire un detstapt: this tenement never did 'belong to the ancestor of the Memocr for Wells ; but that one behind it did, but which some years since, became a rain, and in the course of time its materials were removed away. This atiray has excited great interest in the town and neighbourhood, hnd will doubtlessly give rise to legal pro ceeeings, the result of which, we are induced to think, will be attended with serious consequences to all the persons en- gaged in it; besides the enquiry it will probably give rise to, as to tite grounds on which the respectable Member for ‘1 7 4,11$ founds his claim to it, and from whom and under what circumstances it is derived. That such an indecent outrage .should have been committed in the present state of this Bo rough, appears to be the height of iiidiccretion ; for instead of pursuing conciliatory conduct towards the inhabitants, and endeavouring trecover the lost influence of the Patron, such proceetlitigs must have the contrary affect, and tend to widen that breach, vhich, under all the circumstances of the town, the college, and the arbitrary management of the pro perty there, it is not surprising should now exist.—(2lforning Post.)

THE PITT CLUB.-The lamented death of the late Duke of RICHMOND has occasioned a vacancy in the Presidency of this Institution, so honour able to the Illustrious Statesman whose name it hears, and to the Members who avow t!leir at tachmenCto his principles—principles which have raised the Country to an unprectAnted height of glOry, and'which, if duly supported, will eurrble• it to retain that proud eminence of national su periorily.

LOYAL EBRIETY.—Since the Radicals have be come water• di hikers, sobriety has been rather a questionable virtue; so at least thought a servant, who, getting ,drunk on Christmas-day, was se verely reprimanded by his master.

The truth is, that the ceremonies necessary to make a valid En glish marriage cannot he performed in a foreign coun try; but a marriage between English persons solemnized in a foreign country according to the forms required in that country is a valid marriage in England. Two English Protestants" married in France with those ceremonies which make a legal marriage between French Protest ants, will be legally man and wifeWhe) they return to Eng land. lOught to explain what I mean by saving, that the ceremonies necessary to make a valid English marriage can not be performed abroad. There are only two kinds of mar riages in England,.--marriages by banns, and they must be published for three successive Sundays in the church of the parish where one of the parties resides, and marriages by, license, which license must be granted by the Bishop of the. diocese in which the parties live. Of course neither can the banns be published, nor can the Bishop's license hey validity iu'a foreign country. ".Ever, my dear Sir, most sincerely your's, " Cheltenham, Sept. 4, 1816. " S. itOMILLY."
