EXTRACTS FRJM THE JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS, JULT 2, 1822, AGAINST AGREEING TO THE FIRST ENACTING CLAUSE OF THE MARRIAGE ACT.. DISSENTIENT: cc — " Because it eppears to me, that the withdrawing the effect of nullity from the marriages of minors, had without the con sent of parents, is likely to produce more and greater mischiefs than such as cal fairly be considered as resulting from the ge neral operation of the existing Marriage Act. " STOWELL." (No. IL) AGAINST PASSING THE MARRIAGE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. " DISSENTIENT : " Ist. Because the Bill proposes to repeal retrospectively a law which has endured and been acted upon nearly seventy years, governing the rights of persons and of property; and such repeal is, therefore, a dangerous precedent, destroying all confidence in rights founded on existing law, and threatening, by its consequences, the destruction of all law. " 2d. Because the injustice and imp o li c y o f repea lin g t h e law, retrospecti ve ly, is acknowledged by the several qualifica tions introduced into the Bill to limit the effects of such re trospective repeal; and yet clauses offered further to limit such effects were rejected, and many inconveniences foreseen there fore remain unprovided for, and there may probably be many unforeseen, and to which human foresight cannot extend. " 3. Because, whatever evils may have arisen from the ef fects, in some instances, of the law proposed to be repealed, the evil of a retrospective repeal of a law which so long endured is much greater, considered as a precedent, which may be used to justify the grossest injustice. " ELDON, C. REDESDA LE. " SHAFTESBURY. COLCHESTER." (No. Ili.) " DISSENTIENT:— " Ist. For the above reasons, and also because the Bill is not, either with respect to marriages heretofore had without the consent of putative fathers, or heretofore had without the con sent of natural and lawful fathers, founded upori 'misapprehen sion of the law creating any such general practice, as in my judgment can authorise the House to legislate, as in this Bill, retrospectively with respect to such marriages. " 44 2d. Because the House having refused to insert clauses in the Bill saving vested rights and rights acquired by purchasers of estates, for good or valuable considerations, from persons by the law of the land- entitled: to sell or settle such estates, appears to me, by this measure, to have acted contrary to the principles which have hitherto secured to the subjects of this country their property ; and to have rendered the Bill, if otherwise fit to pass into a law, such as no reasoning can sanction, and no precedents can justify.

MINTER BLAIR I ESQ., M.P. Few individuals have departed" this transitory life more regretted than this amiable Gentleman, who expired on Monday the 24th ult., at Gordon's Hotel, Albemarle-street, after an illness of only seven days duratidn.—He was an accom 'plished 'classic scholar, spoke with fluency the French, Italian, and German languages, and was a considerable proficient in the Fine Arts. In his politics, he was a staunch advoc a t e f or th e Constitution, as established in Church and State. In the per formance of his Parliamentary duties, he was most assiduous ; and as a Member of the Agricultu ra l Committee, he distin guished himself by displaying an intimate acquaintance with the subject under consideration. He was particularly 'zealous in promoting, in the House of Commons, the interest of Scot land ; and amongst other beneficial measures brought forward by him, that of compelling the Scotch Connties to bear a'pro.. Portion of the expense attending the rebuilding and repairing o f the Jails of the Royal Burghs, has proved of the first import.. ance. In private life, he was beloved by men of all parties, and his memory will be long remembered in the County of Wigton, which he has represented since the retirement of the Hero of the .Pyrenees and of Orthes, Lieutenant-General Sir 'WILLIAM STEWART, in 1817. An Inquisition was taken yesterday on view of the body of Sophia Burn, aged 13, who died at the London hospital' of the injuries she received, by her clothes taking fire while tak. Ing a kettle off the grate.—Verdict, Accidental Death . . ' It E'L A N The following are extracts from a Report made to the Dublin Mansion-house Committee, by. Messrs. H. GRATTAN and.D. LATouczir, to whom the letters received were, referred : Cons. —Extract of a letter from Geofge Crofts, Chairman of the Central Committee (City of Cork) .states, " that on the 4th of. June, it appeared from the Repoits laid before them from near 100 parishes of the county, and from calculations made in the remaining ones, - that not less than 92,800 persons were at that period in the most urgent distress ; and from the returns and the statements laid before the Committee on the 11th of June, it appeared that the number of persons in actual want had amounted to 150,000." MAY o.—Prom hence the Rev. Henry Peasley, Union of Bally. 'bane, 15th of June, states, that in the three parishes there are 9,750 individuals ; that in addition to want of food spotted fevers and dysenteries had broken out. From the inadequacy of supply, several of the poor creatures lay all night in the churchyard, unable to move from pain and hunger, eating the raw meal and potatoes.. CLARE.—A letter received on Saturday last from Ennis, contained the afflicting account, that a man, his wife, and nine children, all perished for wart of food.! - Parishes of Aughatnore and Knock, June 19;—..The poor wholly destitute, having. exhausted the cresses, nettlei, and wild herbs in the fields. . Ballyhauin, June 2L—Many of the starving creatures drop down at the place of distribution. The fever increases. Three died last week and one last night. Parishes of Ivehan and Kilcummin, June 22.—Fever, dy sentery, and starvation, are fast spreadin g . Bingham Castle, June 21.—1 assure you that thousands have for weeks past subsisted upon sea-weed, wild vegetable sub stances, and rotten fish, which has brought on a typhus fever and a violent dysentery. If we have not speedy relief, the liv ing will scarcely be able to bury the dead ; for instance, about two days ago four men could not be collected to bury a poor creature that died of want of food. They are swelling and get ting black in the face, and no medical assistance nearer than Ballina or Castlebar. • Ennis' timon, June 25.—This parish is inhabited by the most wretched class in society; there is not an individual among them able to call . the attention of any committee to thei r me lancholy situation ; and unless something is done to afford them immediate relief, it is my firm conviction that more than half the parish will fall victims before the 15th July, TIPPERARY—Cappagh, June 22.—Owing to the very few resident gentry in the country, our subscription in this parish has not amounted to 501. which went a very short way in re lieving upwards of 2,000 famishing souls, nearly the one-fourth of whom are now in the fever. SLlGo.—Easkey; June 17.—The scenes we witness are ap. palling ; nothing piesents itself but faMine and disease. From the Bishop of Killala, Edward Wingfield, and Wil liam Browne, Union of Castlecomer and Kallyglass.—The population is 8,270 persons, approaching a state of starvation ; many are unable to get money for seed-potatoes ; for the last two months the people have lived on shell-fish, sea-weed, and herbs. . GALWAY.—Westport, June 25.—The melancholy state of our starving poor is daily increasing -14,000 weekly applicants.. Clifton, ,June 21.—Fifteen persons have died in the pa►ish of Ballynakill Within these two days, and several in the parish of Balindoon and Moines—all for want of food: four times that number are afflicted with fever, and are — past recovery, and the rites of the church have been administered to them by their Clergy. The Archbishop of DUBLIN has directed that, on Sunday next, Collections shall be made in all the Churches in Dublin, in aid of the Fund for Relieving the Distresses of theyeople in the South and West of Ireland. • • 'Thursday last a Privy Council was held at Dublin Castle, when Lieutenant-General Sir S. Au cit v was sworn in a Member of his MAJESTY'S Most Honourable Council, and took his seat at the Board accordingly. There are at this moment, employed on the Public works, in Ireland, at the trifling pittance of eight-pence a day, tradesmen of different denominations, whose daily hire, before now, may be rated from two shillings to half-a-crown, and three shillings and nine-pence a day. • DEPLORABLE EVENT.-The followinff dread ful accident recently happened in Kilkenny, in the family of Major MADDEN of that place. The Major's son was soon to be married to his cousin, who was on a visit to the family. The marriage was only delayed till the bridegroom was of age. The intended pair used to ride out every day. One day on their return, a sister of the young Gentleman, about. 12 years of -age, wished for a ride, but would not mount the horse without going to ask the consent of her father, who came from the house and himself fastened her to the saddle. The horse by some accident took fright, and went off at full speed, the cries of the poor child adding to his fears. By the violence of the agitation the child was thrown from the saddle; but her foot stuck in the stirrup, by which means she was dragged along the stones, and mangled in too horrible a manner for description. In this dreadful state the poor sufferer lingered during four days, and then was released from a state, which if she had survived, would h ave ren d e r e d her a pitiable-spectacle through life. The mother of the unfortunate young lady is a sister of Sir WM. CUMMING GORDON of Scotland. To in crease the misery of the survivors, the unhappy father has since died of grief. The family were so amiable and So . much respected, that this dreadful event has excited a mournful sympathy throughout die place. A Birmingham paper says—" Our commercial readers will be pleased to l earn , that arrange ments have been made by Mr. HART with the Postmaster-6eneral for the establishment of a' direct mail between this town and laverpool--an accommodation that has long been desired by our merchants and manufacturers trading with that port. We learn that it will commence run ning from this town on the Ist inst., at half past seven in the evening, and will arrive here at • ten o'clock in the mornin • g on its return." STEAM TRA V ELLI NG .—O n Saturday last a party ofGentleman left Liverpool at hail,-past three, and arrived in the Isle of Man early in the evening. The next day they made the tour of the whole island, examined its antiquities, its topo. graphy, and its chief towns. They re-embarked on Monday morning, and were in their counting-houses at half-past nine. Another party sailed for Bangor and Beaumaris the same even. ing, at the' same hour. They visited these two interesting towns, then drove to Carnarvon, and thence to the L a k e o f Llanberris. They afterwards ascended Snowden, and saw the sun set from its highest summit. After this exploit; which was performed on foot, they returned to Bangor, again embarked for Liverpool, and wer e a t th e i r busin.,ss onMonday morning at half-past eleven.:—( Liverpool Paper.)

Y am; Sir, July 1, 1822. PIIILECCLESIAS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Only one Mail has arrived this day from the 'Continent, and that is from Hamburgb ; but it does not bring intelligence from the North later than what . was communicated to the public yesterday by the Morning Chronicle' (received via Holland). Many merchants are of opinion that they could cor respond with the Continent quicker without the interference of the llamburgh packets, and that a very considerable expence might be saved to the public by their 'discontinuance. In forming this opinion, however, they by no means intend to com plain against the Post-office regulations in Lombard-street, being perfectly sensible of the great exertions made in eVery depart ment'of that most valuable establishment. If qiticker inter course with the North of Europe, hoWever, can be obtained by the way of Holland than direct from Hamburgli, those inter ested in Continental correspondence hope that the General Post-. office will adopt it, particularly as the revenue !vould, be con. siderably bencfitted by a discharge of one establishment not at present very useful; and as without steam-packets the commu nication betwixt England and the North of Europe cannot be so regular, and seldom so early, by the way of .IJambulgh, as by the way of Holland. The Pttbile Funds are this day extremely heavy. The Budget haS neither created confidence nor given satisfaction. The Right Hon. Calculator has undoubtedly one quality which f ew men possess, and' that is the potver to mystify figures; for such an Omnium of Accounts, such a mixture and intermixture of calcu lation., never-was placed 'Were .the understandings of reasonable men. To attempt to comprehend them,is vain labour; indeed, his Finance skill, as the old woman said of the doctrines of an itinerant Preacher, 'is WO deep for common comprehensions, and if the Liniversity of Oxford delays any longer to confer on him the distinction of Doctor, that of Aberdeen ought to step for ward to do him -this act of justice: An account foi Augetist commenced this day on the Stock Exchange, anti- business was done in it at 81i a 8le: An eminent Jobber bought 100,000 at 81i; notwithstanding which the price did hot improve, as it is imagined that the account which remains to bo settled is ex ceedingly large, and that extensive sales-must beanade previ ous to the 18th current. The fluctuation in this account has been from 798 to - 81,i, but when the dividend is deducted, the ,differences at present are inconsiderable.---Consols - forthe July account opened' at 8l it, and were uncommonly heavy. At one time they rose to 811,, but finally dosed at 811. There is an Express from Paris, bringing -Mond4'S prices there of the Rentes, but no impression was made on the market here after ita . receipt. • Foreign securities partake of the dullness in'the English Funds, and the transactions- in them are very limited. The French Rentes are at present more inquired after than any of 'the others, and they are rather dearer. They Opened at 91. 75., and-closed at-92. Prussian Fives are 86i. 87. Columbian Old Bonds are new in the course of payment, and their existence has ceased. Many will raise a monument to their therieory, but ruin attended some of their first possessors. The trinnipleof liberty procured for them that value which a differentissue of events in South America would have deprived them of. So far Eng land- has benefited, and a complete acknowledgment of South American,independence will still confer far more Sig lel favours on the British Empire. The new Columbian Sixes are noted at 83. The Spanish Old Bonds are 61a to 621, 'and the New 61A to 62. The-value of -both is improved, and the. mild and steady conduct of the Spanish Cortes in their efforts,to establish the liberty of their country, creates strong grounds to expect -that their - exertions Will soon be crowned with -complete suc cess. Danish Fives are 84.1, Neapolitan 704, the Old Russian - Fives 77i. Th e N ew R uss i an L oan is nominal at 83. The panic in-the Chili Loan has passed, and its'ipiice is 79i -A. Whatever events take place at present in that country, the re sult cannot fail to be the complete establishmene of, a liberal GovernMent. At the Corn Exchange this day, the arrivals of grain are few since Monday last. Wheat is very dull sale, add the late prices are with' difficulty maintained even for the finest qualities.— Oats can only he sold at a redaction in their value of Is. to 2s. a quarter., 114yley also finds few buyers, and is cheaper. The rains have been nearly general, and the kingdom a t th e p resent moment is covered with a most bountiful crop. In ten days the wheat harvest will commence, and a god season will again bless the population with plenty. • • 'Ministers" boast of the reduction of t a x e s ; - bait : does not re. quire such comprehensive minds, "as they no doubt - possess, in common.men to see, that much greater reductiops will be forced on them.dining the next Session of Parrarnent, and that means must be taken, both in Chttrch•and•Sta'e, tireiievethe produc tive classes from their present burdens. ; , • Trade continues in a state" of great depression,, particularly in Baltic and !Vest' 'lndia prodtice."

There were not Members enough - present yes terday in the Hotise of Commons at the usual hour to 'form a House.—Mr. WESTERN had given notice that he would move a series of Resolutions, descriptive of the distressed state of the agriciiltnral part bf the country--Ithe effects` of the altered state of the currencythe general amount of taxation—and the relative situation of the,public creditor and. the public, under such altered state of the currency. Th ese. Resolutions are 18 'in number. The following is the concluding Resolution : " That under all these circumstances, it is evidently and indis pensably necessary to take into immediate consideration the de structive effects that have arisen out of the alteratiOns made in the currency, by the Acts-of 1797 and 1819, as well respecting the enormous public burthens created and so ails nzented by the Act of 1815, as the revolution of property in the vast and com plicated intercourse'of individuals throughout this country oc casioned thereby ; in order that, .by a final arrangement of the currency, as equitable to all parties as circumstances will ad mit, or by a reduction of taxation equal to the advance occa sioned by the Act of 1819, t oge th er with the establishment of ome principle for . the adjustment of private contracts, justice n ay, as far as possible, be administered to all, and the country Eave.l from a revolution of property, and also from a pressure of taxation beyond the ability of the people to sustain."
