CITY OP LONDON CORPORATION COMMISSION.-(THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Commissioners, this morning, Mr. Woodthorpe was examined further as to the formation and regulations of the standing committees. The Commissioners said they would then proceed to hear evidence as to the nature and duties of the city officers, commencing with that of town clerk. Mr. Woodthorpe then read a report of his duties, from Which it appeared tbat he was elected on the 6th of Oc tober. 1825, and sworn in on the 27th. He was Clerk to all commissions in which the Lord Mayor was first named, unless a clerk was specially appointed. He was c'e,k at all Courts where the Lord Mayor presided. He was Keeper of the Seals of the Corporation, and of all charters, hooks, documents, and muniments belonging to the City. It was his duty to advise, as to all suits, and upon all questions of law, which affected the interests of the City. The four attorneys of the Mayor's Court were his clerk., and it was their duty to examine all depositions which required the Mayor's seal. _ - Mr. N. was going on to read a long report he had drawn up, of duties he had to perform, when our reporter left. INSOLVENTS' COURT.—(THIs DAY.) (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER, and Commissioners BOWEN and Law.) John Wiggerham, a commission agent, residing in Francis-street, Ashted, Birmingham, appeared on his pe tition to be discharged. The insolvent, who was not opposed, was most closely .questioned by Mr. Commissioner Bowen, in the course of which he stated, that some time since he came up to Lon don for the purpose of seeing his brother-in-law, who resided in Great Prescott-street, Goodman's-fields. He took lodgings in Red Lion-street, Holborn, where he was for five days. On going to take his place by the coach at the Belle Sauvage to Birmingham, he was arrested at the suit of a Mr. J. P. Horton, a boiler-maker, at West Brom wich, who had lent him 251. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN inquired of the insolvent how Mr. Horton came to know that he was at the Belle Sauvage? The insolvent said, he could not tell. He had not the least idea of being arrested. Mr. Horton, when he insisted upon payment, stated he would wait to see if he could make some arrangements with his friends fur the payment of the debt. Mr. Com m i ssioner BOWEN said, that before be ordered the insolvent's discharge, he should expect a full affidavit from Mr. Horton of his debt, and the reasons for his ar resting th e in solvent, and for this purpose the case was ordered to stand Over till Tuesday. HUDDERSFIELD ELECTION, JAN. 8. (From a Correspondent of the Times.) This morning the poll commenced, and at the end of the first hour the numbers were-- For Mr. Blackburne... 98 Mr. Sadler l3 Captain Wood 3 At four o'clock the poll closed, the numbers being— For Mr. Blackburne 230 Mr. Sadler Captain Wood 9l This is quite decisive. The Tories themselves never expected th at more than 480 vots would poll. The other parties b e li eve that boo is theer limit. On Tuesday evening Mr. Blackburne addressed the electors in he e d ourt.house in an excellent speech, in which he stthe grounds on which he supported Ministers, and his principles generally. He was most warmly received. If Mr. Sadler should not resign to-night (Wednesday), which he is expected to do, the poll will be kept open till tomorrow afternoon. On Friday the result will be declared. Mr. Blackburne is of course certain to be elected by a very large majority. Mr. Sadler has been for the last week entirely repudiated by the Radicals, who are disgusted beyond measure at his attempt to d ece i ve them by professing to entertain their sentiments. H e w ill h ave the reward of his duplicity, and be pitied by nobody. (From the lluddersfield Etpress.) of himself on exhibiti on w hi c h poor Mr. Sadler ma de elt' on Mond a y, b e f ore t h e e l ectors o f H u dd ers fi e ld, must have excited the disgust of his own partisans, and the contempt of e v er y l over of consistency and integrity. His speech was full o f the most paltry and mo s t p a lpabl e shufflin , 4 : so much so, indeed, that we should almost insult the intellects of our readers, were we to enter upon a serious examination of his sophisms. The imputation of nomineeship, on which he dwelt with so touch feeling, and from which he so kindly desired to relieve Mr. Blackburne, had a strange sound from the lips of my Lord Newcastle', ex.nonainee ; and it must rather have grated upon the ear of more than one of Mr. Sadler's committee; for amongst those who are now so loudly depre catin who g Sir John Ramsden' s i n fl uence in the borough, and have, as they say, brought forward Mr. Sadler to eman ,, eipate the electors from their thraldom, are the very men who have, on two occasions, invited two sons of Sir John Ramsden to offer themselv es as candidates for Huddersfield ! This is consistency ! One of these sons is a Whig, and the other a Conservative, but they were both Ramsdens. This also is consistency ! ! And the parties could not have coveted a finer c li max to their consistency than their choice of Mr. Sadler, of nomination notoriety, to head their crusade against the alleged nomination of Sir John Ramsden ! But the electors of Huddersfield are not so destitute of sense as to be deceived by such quackery ; and the result of the first day's poll is exactly what we anticipated, from our knowledge of their character. They have shown a proper spirit ; resisting alike the dictation of a Tory aristocracy, and the intimidation of a Radical democracy. The attention of the whole kingdom has been drawn to their conduct on this occasion ; and they have merited that best. and purest reward of patriotism—the cordial approbation of their fellow countrymen. Mr. Sadler will now, perhaps, go back to Lt eds, and try his luck against Mr. Baines; but the electors of that borough, like those of Huddersfield, set some value, at least, on consistency, and have something like a respect for political integrity. Mr. Sadler must ever forego any claim to either. He may, when it suits his convenience, ebaunt the praises of Wilberforce and Andrew Marvel; but his own political character stands, and ever will stand, at the antipodes of theirs. CAPTAIN ROSS.

COMMISSION COURT.-DUBLIN, JAN. 7. The prosecution against Mrs. Scott, for bigamy, having been fixed for yesterday morning, the Court-house, at an early hour, was crowded to excess. At half.past ten o'clock Judges JOHNSON and VANDELEUR took their seats on the bench, and a jury having been sworn, the indictment was read, to which the prisoner pleaded " not guilty." Mrs. Scott was placed in the front bar, and frequently, during the progress of the trial, burst into tears. ` The first witness called was John King. Having been sworn, be said he recollected the month of March, 1821 ; was present at a marriage celebrated by the Rev. Joseph Woods, between Anthony Galwey and Mary Jane Cock borne ; the ceremony took place at Haymarket ; a man named Hayden was also present ; he knew Mr. Woods to celebrate marriages ; he was in orders ; Mr. Woods is since dead ; witness hail a situation from Mr. Woods ; he wrote for him ; saw the prisoner at the bar in the month of September last at Cahircon, in the county of Clare; there was also present Mr. Gaiwey, who claimed her as his wife ; witness bad not the book with him which con tained the entry of the marriage, hut had a leaf from it. Mrs. Sarah Parker examined—Lives in Mecklenburgh street. Knows the prisoner at the Bar. Has known her for many years. Knew her in the years 1320 and 1821. When witness knew the prisoner first she went by the name of Carter. Mary Jane was her reputed Christian name. Understood that was her name. Witness was her dressmaker. Cannot tell exactly the time, but knew her as Mrs. Galwey. When she was Mrs. Galwey wit. ness visited her. Cannot tell how long she was acquainted with her. The prisoner at the bar lived in Caroline-row for some time, and went by the name of Mrs. Carter. Heard her called another name, which was Mrs. Hunter. Was often invited by herself and Mr. Galwey to Ca. roline-row. She lived there for more than a year with Mr. Galwey. Witness often visited and often dined there with Mr. and Mrs. Galwey. His Christian name was Anthony. Witness has twice received letters from Mr. G. from France, and has handed these letters to Mrs. Galwey. When she lived in Caroline-row, witness does not recollect to have had any very particular conversation with her about Mr. Galwey. She lived with Mr. Galwey as his wife. Remembers that, upon one occasion, Mrs. Galwey gave witness a paper to bring to Carrick's Morn ing Post, to have her marriage with Mr. Galwey inserted in that paper. They would not insert it, unless it was paid for, and it was not put in the paper. Witness brought it back, and gave it to Mrs. Galwey. This was very soon after she went to live in Caroline-row. Mrs. Galwey did not then show her any other paper. After Mrs. Galwey came from France, witness had some conversation with her. Witness asked her if she had seen Mr. Galwey ; she replied she bad seen him, but that she had not spoken to him; that he had grown very fat, and that be was looking re markably well. Before Mrs. Galwey went to France, wit. ness frequently conversed with her about Mr. Galwey, but does not recollect any conversation in particular. It was before Mrs. Galwey went to France, that witness received the letters from Mr. Galwey. They were not directed to Mrs. Galwey, but to her (witness); witness recollects one day that Mrs. Galwey met her upon Carlisle-bridge, and after walking a few steps with her, she said, " I'm going to be married ;" witness asked was not Mr. Galwey alive, and how could she get married ; she replied, " You know I told you he was getting very fat, and he has died in France of suffocation"—(A laugh.) The name that the prisoner went by at the period of which witness was then speaking, was Mrs. M'Neill; witness thinks it was about five years ago she had the conversation with Mrs. Galwey after her return from France ; subsequent to that conver sation witness never received a letter from Mr. Galwey; when witness had the conversation with Mrs. Galwey on the bridge, she did not mention to whom she was going to be married; witness said, that when Mts. Galwey had changed her lodgings, she (witness) asked her for whom she should inquire, and sbe replied fur Mrs. M'Neill ; the reason she had asked her the question was, that she knew her to g.► by several names; she believed she took the name of M'Neill because she was then giving lessons in the French language. William Cannel! examined by Mr. O'CoNNELL—Knows Mr. J. Scott, son of Mr. Scott, residing at Calaircon ; knows prisoner ; saw her at Cahircon ; is agent to Mr. Scott, who has a property of about 5,0001 per annum ; saw prisoner first in March ; John Scott was with her ; was introduced by his faller to her, as the wife of his son ; is Mr. Scott, senior's, agent; remembered to have seen Mr. Galwey there in September ; Mr. G. did not come down with witness from Dublin ; was present when Mr. Galwey, Captain Ness, Mr. M. O'Connell, Mr. Scott, senior, and one Walsh met; Mr. O'Connell asked Mr. Galwey did he know the lady (the prisoner), Mr. G. said, unfortunately, he had to acknowledge her as his wife; she ackowledged she went through a sort of ceremony with him, and began arguing, and said she could not live with him ; he said she called upon a banker in London, in the capacity of his wife, to draw money he had lodged there, upon which prisoner replied it was for the reimbursement of money paid by her fur the sup port of one of his children, by a former marriage; witness saw them together but once; after Mr. Galwey's depar ture and his own, witness was sent for to dine with Mr. Scott, senior, and found prisoners still there in an ante room ; she said, though witness promised to produce a husband of hers, Galwey was the last person she thought could be produced; she said it was true a cermony had been gone through, but that they parted at the door ; the gentleman now produced is the Mr. Galwey who was at Cahircon ; witness asked if she had not lived with him at Fannagh-place, London; she replied she did, but did not sleep with him; witness then replied, that a French lady was a bad substitute for an Irish gentleman—(Laughter)— prisoner smiled but said nothing. garah Parker re.produced—The gentleman now before her is the same she saw living with prisoner as her hus band, when she went by the name of Galwey, and was residing in Caroline-row. Captain J. B Ness examined—ls connected with the family of Mr. Scott ; prisoner was the wife of Mr. John Scott ; witness was present when Mr. Galwey and pri soner met; there were also present on that occasion Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Scott, sen., two persons of the name of King and Walsh, &c. ; Mr. Galwey called prisoner his wife ; she said the ceremonies established by law had never been performed between them, they were of a different re ligion ; Mr. Galwey said it was extraordinary if she was not his wife, after having produced a certificate of their marriage to his banker in London, for the purpose of drawing money he bad lodged there; she said the money was her just due; witness did not accompany Mr. Galwey from Cahircon. Maurice O'Connell, Esq.. M.P.—ls married to the daughter of Mr. Scott. Remembers going to Cahircon with Messrs. Galwey, Walsh, and King. Was by at an interview between Galwey and prisoner. Had a conver sation with prisoner about a fortnight previous to this meeting in which he recommended her to permit the mat ter to be settled without being obliged to have recourse to legal means. Prisoner refused giving tip her station, and said she was never married legally to Galwey; that they were of different persuasions; and that she separated from him at the church door. Galwey reminded her bow they had lived so long together, and how his banker wrote to him saying she had produced their marriage certificate for the purpose of drawing his money, and which he (the said Galwey) prevented her fom doing. Mr. O'Connell de tailed the circumstances of the interview between King, Walsh, Galwey, and the prisoner. Rev. Gearge Kelly examined—ls a clergyman of the Established Church, curate of S. Mary's. Recollects having, in last March, married Mr. Scott and the pri soner. A I.cense frouaLthe Consistorial Court was brought Lim. The ceremony was performed at the usual hour, at about baltpast eleven o'clock. Walter Glascock, Esq.—ls acquainted with the hand• writing of the late Archbishop of Tuam. The name, " William Tuam and Ardagh," signed to the document now banded witness is in the handwriting of the late Archbishop. The document was then read. It was the certificate of Mr. Wood's ordination, and was given in evidence. The case for the prosecution here closed. Mr. BENNETT contended that there was no evidence of a marriage with Gal wey, to be sent to the Jury. The COURT was of opinion that there was. FOR THE DEFENCE. Rev. Joseph Litton—Resides at Letterkenny. 11 a Presbyterian clergyman. Lived there thirty years. Knew James Cockburne; he was prisoner's father ; be attended witness's church. In the year 1813, or 1814, witness married prisoner to a man named Dl•Arthur. Heard since he was called Carter. James Cockburne—ls brother to prisoner; was present at the marriage between her and M'Arthur ; he stopped a few months after the marriage at Letterkenny ; he then went away; saw him again in the year 1821 ; in the autumn of that they were married ; at Christmas, 1813; heard he went abroad; did not see him since; heard be went off in the patriot service, and was since dead; prisoner was older than witness. Elizabeth Allen was next produced, who was present at the marriage of prisoner with IlPArtbur ; her evidence was not material. Barbara Cockburne was the next witness examined — She was the mother of the prisoner, and detailed the cir cumstances already given in the evidence of James Cock hurne. She was cros-..xamined at great length by Mr. HohneP. Martha Johnston—ls sister to prisoner. Is twenty-six years of age. Lived with her sister in 1821-1822, in Dublin. Lived in Caroline-row, in same house. Never saw Mr. Gilwey living as her husband. Never saw a man of that name with her. Knew a child of that name. Witness took him to the country.

He was reputed to be the agent for the child. He gave the name Anthony. Her sister sent down another child for the benefit of the country air. The child was delicate. Mr. O'Connell tendered Anthony Galway for examina tion. The Court ruled he bad no right to examine him. The case having closed on both sides, Judge Johnson charged the who, after a short deliberation, brought in a verdict of—Not Guilty. Mr. O'Connell applied for leave to send up new bills of indictment, which was granted, and the prisoner, in the mean time, was allowed to stand out on bail. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 9. At a meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates a report of the Special Committee appointed to consider the obser vations, said to have been made in the public papers at the Old Bailey, upon the conduct of the Middle sex Alagistrates at the list sessions was read. The Committee thriught the difihulties which had been alluded to arose from uncontrollable circumstances, having no reference whatever to the late changes made at the Clerkenwell sessions, and that if blame attached any where, it was to those who urged others to discontent. The report proceeded, for the purpose of showing the saving effected by the new arrangement for trying priso ners. and stated that in 1832 the trial of 2,375 hills at the Old Bailey, and 213 at Clerkenwell, cost 8,6261.55. 6d., while in the year 1533, the hills found for the Old Bailey were 1,384, and for Clerkenwell 1,288, which were disposed of at an expense of 6,6411. 16s. 4d., making a saving to the county, by the new arrangement, of 2,184/. 12s. 2d., although 41 more cases had been tried. The report concluded by recommending an application to his Majesty's Government to amend the law as regards Grand Jurors in the county of Middlesex, who at pre sent, unlike the Grand Jurors in other counties, had not the advantage of being charged by the Judge or Chair man. Several other alterations were recommended. The Report was signed by B. notch, Esq. Chairman ; Sir W. Curtis, Bart. ; Sir Charles Forbes, Bart. ; T. Carrick, G. Acklom, E. Halsewell, C. Halford, J. Cli theroe, T. Mills, R. Carpenter, J. Williams, S. Hood. Sir W. CURTIS moved that the Report should be re ceived, a step which would in some measure tend to heal the wounded feelings of those magistrates who had been so unjustly and unjustifiably held up to public indignation in the invectives launched at them, not only from the bar but from the brach. Mr. MILNE seconded the motion. The Report was then ordered to be printed and distri buted, one copy to be sent to Lord Melbourne, and the further consideration of the Report was then postponed till that diy fortnight. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. DERBY.-Nothing was done yesterday on either of the two favourites; Plenipo appears to be advancing, as an offer was made to tike 12 to 1 without effec'. Shillelah was backed for about 150/. at 15 and 16 to 1, the latter being the " market !Nice." Viator, who reached Tatter sall's yesterday, on his road to Newmarket, was backed at 20 and 22 to 1 to a small amount ; but as the bets were made when most of the subscribers had Itft the room, we do not feel warranted in quoting them as the average odds. The only horses mentioned were -11 tis 1 agst Mr. Batson's Plenipo 15 to 1 agst Mr. Chifney's Shelalah (taken) 2s to 1 agst Lord Lowthcr's two (taken) OAKS.-Nothing done. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 8. The weather continues extremely wet and squally. The inconvenience arising from the long detention of the ships outward-hound has been very serious, and many have been in port now ready for sea for a longer period than was per haps ever known before. At present there appears little signs of a favourable change. From day to day nothing but " heavy wet." COTTON MARKET.—The demand is so freely met that any improvement has ben impeded. Our present rates, however, are very freely paid. There is a speculative inquiry for new Americans at 93., which is supplied from day to day. Sales 2,500 bags, of which 400 are new Boweds on speculation at 9d. ; 1,300 ditto to the trade, 9,1. to 94-d. ; 500 old Americans, 7id. to 9id. ; 300 Brazi!s. SHIPPING.—No foreign arrivals to-day; six coastwise. The young Earl of Sandwich is about to launch a brilliant new equipage. His Lordship's sister, Lady Caroline Montagu, who married Count Alexander Walewski, the Ex-Polish Envoy ! is now finally settled in Paris, where she is giving grand parties. It appears that the sales of stock which have given rise to so much speculation, and some little alarm, during two days past, in the Consol market, have been made on account of the Savings' Banks, but with what object is yet to be ascertained. It is certain that they do not result from the state of the deposits with those institutions, which are known to be on the increase ge• nerally throughout the country ; and as Government possesses, under the recent Acts of Parliament, a control over the whole fund, the prevailing notion is, that this is the commencement of some financial operation in which the Government has a direct concern. Hence it may relate either to the compensation to the West India in terest ; the repayment of Bank of England capital settled by the new Charter ; or to the sums voted by Parliament for the Irish clergy. The more current conjecture is, that the repayment/ to the Bank is the object in view, but there are many who believe it to be applicable to both the other objects named, and there eviden'ly does not exist at present any positive information on the subject. If the operation contemplated is a large one, it will take a very long time to complete it, as the sales have not exceeded 10,0001. daily, and it is understood that they will con tinue at the same rate. The late visit to the Treasury of the Governor and Deputy Governor, with some of the Directors of the Bank, seems to have been one motive for connecting this operation with the concerns of that esta blishment, which, after all, may be assignable to none of the causes specified. It may possibly be in anticipation of the new measure which Parliament has authorized for granting annuities by the Savings' Banks, and which will induce many, in the first instance, to draw out their de posits, for the sake of converting the interest into annu ities.— Times. COL. MACERONE'S STEAM-CARRIAGE.- Yesterday the steam-carriage for which Colonel Macerone and Mr. Squire have obtained a patent, and which has been running from Oxford•street to Edgewar2 , for the last fortnight, made a trip to Uxbridge, and, notwith standing the extremely disadvantageous state of the road, owing at once to the long-continued rains, and to the quantity of loose gravel which is at present being laid down upon it, the trial afforded another unequivocal proof of the success which has attended the efforts of the patentees in bringing to a comparative degree of perfection the construction of locomotive carriages. The road, which, even in fine weather, is a very bad one, was, as before-mentioned, in the worst possible condition, and yet the journey from the Regent's.eircus, Oxford-street, to Uxbridge, was performed (not taking stoppages into ac count) in an hour and a quarter. The consumption of time in the stoppages for the purpose of taking in water and fuel was, of course, considerable, but that is a matter that can be easily remedied by the establishment of stations at proper distances, and with suitable apparatus, upon any road on which a carriage of the kind may be started. The first two miles were performed in seven minutes and a half, and the average rate of speed was 12, 1 4, and some times 16 miles an hour. Indeed, it was manifest that in summer, and upon a good road, the coach could go even 20 miles an hour. Up some of the hills, which had been thickly covered with gravel, it went at the rate of right miles an hour. On its return to town, one of the Oxford stages in full gallop passed it, while taking in water at Kensington. After the lapse of a few minutes the steam-carriage followed, came up with the stage, still at full gallop, passed it, and left it " no where" ete it arrived at the commencement of Oxford-street. This carriage, we understand, has already run 2,500 miles without being detained on the road for a single minute by any de, angement of the machinery, save the breaking of the axle-tree on its return from Windsor in last September, an accident to which every other species of vehicle is equally liable, and against the recurrence of which, i❑ the instance of the steam-carriage, the patentees state they have effectually provided. It is the intention of the patentees, we believe, to continue running the carriage for some days longer to Uxbridge, when it will be discontinued. They at the same time express their willingness to run the carriage, for the purpose of showing the power of. the engine, .upon any road in the kingdom. THE LATE HURRICANE. THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE . 'The storm appears to have been very violent through out the district. At Selby, a factory was li!own down, and two women buried in the ruins, but they escaped with a few bruises. At Haddlesey, near Selby, the storm was attended with awful effects : a barn was blown down, burying three men in the ruins, who were taken out dead. At Pontefract many wheat stacks were destroyed, and the pinnacle was blown off the old church and fell through the roof. At Wetberby a number of buildings were unroofed ; trees were blown down in all directions. At Doncaster, the roof of the gas-house was neatly stripped of the slates, and two pinnacles were blown from the church. At- Leeds, the hurricane was fearfully violent ; buildings were cJrnpletely unroofed, stacks of chimneys blown into the streets, whole windows blown in, and trees uprooted. In a cottage near Park-lane, a chimney was blown down by which a horse was killed. A factory chimney fell into a piptye, and completely severed the head of a fine pig. At Headingly a chimney was blown down with such violence as to burst through the roof, and fell into a room where the family were sitting, ane severely injured the servant, and one of the children of Mr. Heaps, the occu pier; Mrs. Heaps sprung out of a window and escaped with a few bruises, but the servant had her leg broken, one of the children had one of its legs broken and its hip dislocated ; and a neighbour, who had gone into the house fur protection, had her foot severely crushed. The only one who escaped was an infant child, which was sheltered by being under a table in the middle of the room, but how it had come there no one could tell. The chimney of Mr. Scott, at Little Woodhouse, was blown down, and the roof entirely demolished. All the family escaped from the premises except an infant about 15 months old which was lying in a cradle; the little innocent was covered to the depth of at least three feet with bricks, tiles, and mortar, where it remained for more than four hours before it was thought of. When the rubbish was removed from the cradle, the child was found calmly sleep• ing, with its cheek on a brick, having been protected from injury by a rafter falling across the cradle. The effects of the storm were felt with equal severity in Bradford, Keighle}, and, in fact, in every part of the West Riding. At the last mentioned place a bore and cart were overturned, and both the animal and vehicle rolled three times over before the blast. NEW PATENTS SEALED IN ENG LAND, 1833.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE--On Friday, an inquest was held at Liverpool, on the body of John HeE den, a joiner, who met with his death under the circum stances stited in the subjoined sketch of the evidence adduced :—John Wood, a porter, said he went with de ceased into the Wi,ite Lion, and they each had a glass of whisky and water, of which they drank a part. He then sent witness to a cook shop in the neighbourhood for some beef, ham, pickled onions, and a small loaf. On his re turn, witness found three young men in the parlour whom the deceased had treated with a glass of ale apiece. H eat some of the onions, and then took a little of the ham, but at the second mouthful a piece stuck fast in his throat, and he became black in the face. Witness put one of his fingers into his mouth for the purpose of removing the piece of ham, but could not succeed. A surgeon was then sent for, but before his arrival (which was in about five minutes) the deceased had expired with his head leaning on one of witness's arms...—Verdict—Accideotal Death. EXTRAORDINARY INTERRUPTION OF A MARRIAGE CEREMONY. Yesterday morning a young couple, residing in he neighbourhood of Saffron-hill, who after a long courtship resolved on tying the happy knot of wed lock, proceeded according to appointment to St. Andrew's Church, Holborn, for the purpose of having the ceremony performed by the clergyman. Not being blessed with a fortune, and unable to an swer the customary demands in the shape of fees, the bri legroom made an application to the overseers of the parish, who being aware that the longingand anxious pair were honest and industrious, they al. lowed them to be united in forma pauperis, and Cover, the beadle, was deputed to accompany them to witness the celebration of the solemn service, ,ind to pay the fees. At the appointed hour the officer, the bridegroom, arid his chere amie, attired in their " holiday clothes," the latter being in vir gin white, followed by a motley group, repaired to he church, when after a short interval, the Re , ererul Clergyman arrived, and having put on his clerical habiliments, he proceeded to the altar, and commenced the ceremony in awful silence, when a fellow of dirty and ruffi tnly appearance,well known as a vagrant,interrupted the proceeding,by asking Cover relieve him, and he insisted that lie would have relief before he quitted the church. Cover and the Clergyman remonstrated with him on the impro priety of his conduct, but it only had the effect of inciting him to the grossest insult and abuse ; and at length Cover ordered him out of the place, arid was about to exercise his authority as an officer, when the ruffian made a desperate blow at him, ,vhich he fortunately warded off. The fellow again assaulted him, and he was necessitated to act upon the defensive, and they fought several rounds in the presence of the " would be united" and the parson, and the utmost alarm and confusion pre vailed—the bride was all amazement, and her in tended stuck close to her with an evident deter mination to protect her from insult, until the Rev. Gentleman rushed from the altar, and in terfered between the combatants ; and perceiving that young Cover had the best of it, and not being aware that he was a constable, he took the part of the vagrant, when Cover took out his authority, and seizing the fellow, led him to the watchhouse close by, where he lodged him preparatory to bringing him before a Magistrate. He event ua lly returnede to the church, and witnessed the marriage ceremony performed to the mutual satisfaction of all present, when, the fees being paid, the parties proceeded be fore a Magistrate with the prisoner, and he was com mitted to prison and hard labour for two months. The happy pair afterwards proceeded to their re. idence, and regaled themselves heartily with some of the good things prior to enjoying ,the " honey moon." Prince Esterhazy arrived at Chandos House yesterday evening, from Belvoir Castle, where his High• ness has been participating in the splendid hospitalities of the Duke of Rutland. It has been said that he will not quit this country even for a time, in c onsequence of his lather's death. Count de Fries, who has recently arrived from V:enna, as an Attache, we believe, to the mission, attends the Prince when be leaves town. The Duke of Rutland having relinquished his residence in Sackvil e-street, his Grace's brothers, Lords Charles and Robert Manners, have taken chambers in the Albany. The Noble Duke, during the approaching season, will take up his temporary abode with Sir Frede rick Trench, in Bolton-street, or with Mr. Sloane Stanley, in Currm-street. We understand that the Rev. S. Coates, Curate to the Rev. L. V. Harcourt, at Stokes'ey, in Cleveland, has been presented with the perpetual curacy of Thirak. From the truly Christian conduct and bene volent disposition of the above gentleman, in visiting the dmyies of the sick, and contributing to their necessities, the poor of Stokesley will have sincere cause to regret his leaving that place.— York Courant. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday, at Lord Tenterden's, in Portman•square, by the Hon. 4nd Rev. M. Eden, brother of Lord Auckland, the lion. Charles Abbott, brother of the present and son of the late Lord Tenterden, to Emily, daughter of Lord George Stuart, and granddaughter of the late Marquis of Bute. After the ceremony, the happy couple left town in a new travelling chariot and four, for Bills, the seat of Captain Townshend, in Hertfordshire, therein to pass the honey moon. Hence they go to Italy. The bride, who was given away by the Duke of St. Albans, was dressed in white satin and blonde lace. In the evening, a grand dinner was given by Lord Tenterden to the members of that family. According to official returns, the average price of wheat for all France, for the month ending the 31st of December, was 14f 87c. the hectolitre, which answers to 11. 14s. Id. the English quarter of eight bushels im perial tneasure ; according to our own official returns, the average price of wheat for England and Wales for the six weeks ending on the 3d inst. was 21. 9s. 6d. the quarter. It therefore appears that the average price of wheat in England is 45 per cent. higher than the average price in France, and that with the sum of 2/. 9s. 6d. a man may buy 11 5-S bushels of wheat in France, whereas, with the same sum he can only buyeight bushels in England. A most calamitous fire broke out about three on Sunday morning last at Entry Court, near Sandwich, and it is feared it was an act of incendiarism. Two barns, with their contents, two wheat stacks and seven other stacks, were entirely consumed. The Government engines from Deal, aided by the Sandwich engines, arrive' in time to prevent the stabling and other buildings from falling a prey. The loss may be computed at 2,6001. Mr. Bridger, the out-going, and Mr. Brice, the in-coming tenant, are fully insured. The buildings are insured in the Kent, and the stock in the Phoenix and liqyal Ex change. The fire was raging and visible at a great dis tance so late as nine on Sunday night.—Kentish Gaq, THE LATE SToßrt.—The effects of the hurricane on the 3lst of last month are visible along the north shore, several walls fronting the cottages on the sands which withstood the force of the former storm on the 29th of November, have yielded to the latter. The wall which divides Mr. Miller's grounds from the shore at Bootie is laid prostrate in his shrubbery, and on various parts of the shore there remain marks of the fury of the gale. A flat has been driven op on to the high ground in the creek of Beacon's Gutter, where she will remain until the next spring tides, when she may be launched off again. A schooner, laden with oatmeal from Ireland, was stranded in Bootle Bay, the major part of her cargo was saved by being transhipped and carted on shore. Masts, yards, and several fragments of wreck lie scattered along the shore, supposed to be the remains of the Jamaica and Grecian, which have been wrecked on the banks outside. The railings on the land adjoining the Esplanade are torn up, and the water has worked up the soil as far as the centre walk of the Crescent at Waterloo.—Liverpool Courier. Mr. Colman (says a correspondent) has taker, another authoritative step in regard to a drama in prep! ration at Hull, in Yorkshire. It appears that the worthy burgesses of that town, not contented with presenting Captain Ross, the Arctic navigator, the freedom of the borough, &c., deter mined to have a drama written on the subject of his enterprise and sufferings. For this purpose Mr. W. L. Retie, the author of •' The Rake's Progress," and several other successful dramas, was sent for by the manager, Mr. Downes, at 4 great expense, to write a drama on Captain Ross's expe dition. The piece was written in two days, and sent to the Lord Chamberlain's Office to be licensed. Lord Belfast, who acts as Chamberlain pro tem., by the advice of Mr. Colman, refused to license any drama called " Captain Ross," as it was u nwarrantably using the name of a living individual. The title of the Hull piece has been changed accordingly, though it is understood that neither the Captain nor his friends had any objection to its previous appellation. What increases the annoyance to the manager is the fact, that a minor theatre at Hull, being unrestrained by a Licenser, has brought forward a piece under the same title unmolested ! The in structions to Mr. W. L. Rede from Mr. Colman ran thus—" Omit the name of Captain Ross, he may be called Captain' only when directly spoken to, and the Captain of the Victory' when mentioned." As the greater part of Captain Ross's adventures occurred alter abandoning that vessel, the piece which has been produced at the Hull Theatre has a singular effect upon the mari time auditors. It will be recollected that some of our great achievements by sea and land have been dramatised will great effect in London ; and although our Dramatic Licenser will not allow any person to assutre the name of Captain Ross, George Chapman has frequently played with great applause, at Astley's, "His Grace the Duke of Weliington," in the celebrated military spectacle, the Battle of Waterloo.
