Professor CHRISTIAN, having been consulted upon the New Marriage Act, by a number of most respectable Clergymen assembled at Hertford, as members of the Society to promote Christian Knowledge, drew up the following explanation of the statute, in consequence of the applica tion : EXPLANATION OF THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT, 3D GEO. IV. c. 75. By the 21st section of the New Marriage Act it is enacted, " that all and every the clauses and provisions in this Act touch ing the publication of bans, and touching marriage solemnized by such bans, shall commence and have effect on and after the Ist day of September, 1822, and not before." A serious doubt has been suggested to the minds of the clergy and the public, whether any parties can be married on or after the Ist day of September, in consequence of three pub lications of bans, or one or two publications according to the existing law, so as they shall reckon a legal part of three publi cations; or whether no' marriage by .banilitauke‘solemnized after the Ist day of September until all the three publications have been 'made conformably to the new statute. This seems to be a question of more importance than difficulty, but it is very strange that this case was not foreseen by any of the Mem bers of either House, and was not expressly provided for. It does not appear that any part of the oli Marriage Act re specting the publication of bans is repealed. The clergy must now require all that they did before, and something more. All the provisions and clauses in the New Marriage Act are in addition to the old Act, and not in substitution. There are several regulations respecting bans, but I do not see one changed, altered, or repealed. The new Act begins the provisions for publications of bans thus—(see section 16 :) " Be it enacted, that before the publication of bans pursuant to the provisions in the act of the 26th year of George 11. an affidavit shall be delivered, containing the christian and sur name of each party, &c." Here it is expressly declared, that the publication of the bans shall be pursuant to the old act. The Clergy ought still to require notice seven days, as before, but the affidavit may be made at any time. It may be sworn, delivered to the Minister, fixed to the church door, and in any conspicuous part of the church, even on the Sunday morning before the bans are read by the minister of the church or chapel. What is new in the affidavits is, that they shall contain, whe ther the parties are above or under the age of 21, and shall sub ject the party swearing falsely, to the punishment of perjury, and to the loss of property obtained by the marriage. The section 17 then enacts, that such bans shall not be pub lished until the true Christian and surname of the said persons, and the house or houses of their respective abodes within such parish or chapelry, or extra-parochial place, as aforesaid, as stated in such affidavit, shall be affixed on the principal door of the church or chapel, and in some conspicuous place within the said church or chapel, in which such bans shall be pub lished as aforesaid, and shall remain so affixed until the ex piration of the three Sundays on which such bans shall be published. • - The words of this section have created the doubt or difficulty. It is extremely ill expressed—it dots not state who shall place the writing upon the church door, or within the church, and the last part is not grammatically connected with the first. But the right meaning of it, I think, is clear and consistent with the former section, and with the existing law, viz. that the clergy shall in all cases marry after three legal publications, and in no instance require four or five publications. In the section, " such bans - shall not be published," signify that bans, pursuant to the old act, shall not be published, on or after the Ist of September, without the addition of the affidavits ; and the words " shall remain," &c., that is (they) shall remain so af fixed to the church door and in the inside of the church until the expiration of the three Sundays on which such bans shall be published, are in some degree equivocal. The meaning of this ill-expressed part must he, that such bans, pursuant to the old act, and with the additions, when they are required, shall be published three Sundays. And these ad ditions must 'appear either one Sunday to complete the three such legal publications, or two Sundays, when there has been one publication only in August, and then, when the first begins in September, they shall remain for three Sundays. This construction is confirmed by another section, which I shall give verbatim : " Sec. 20.—That whenever a marriage shall not be had within three months after the complete publication of bans, no Minister shall proceed to the solemnization of the same, until the bans shall have been republished, on three several Sundays, in the form and manner prescribed in this act, and in the said recited act (act of the 26th of George the Second), or by license duly obtained according to the provisions of this act." It never could be supposed, that no marriages by bans were to be solemnized during the first fifteen days of September ; this probably would affect the happiness and interests of many thousand honourable and virtuous couples. Many of them relying upon being married at the usual time, might be engaged or compelled to go abroad, so that their ho nourable union might be prevented for ever, and much immo rality and illegitimacy might be the consequence. All statutes restrictive of natural right, ought, if doubtful, to be construed in favour of liberty and moral happiness, as these are peculiarly the objects of the law of England : but the law of England particularly favours marriage—" dliatrinuminin debetcsse likrum" is an extensive maxim of that law, which peculiarly removes many resentments from that beneficial con tract. In this case surely no Court would say, that if every part was legal, the whole would still be illegal. If the parties are married after three publications, the mar riage is valid, though there have been no affidavits at all, or though the affidavits are false, by section 19; the same is true of notices required by the old Marriage Act. But the material question is—what are the clergy bound in law to do ? They are subject to an indictment for a Misdemeanour, like all other persons who disobey an Act of Parliament, where no specific penalty is directed. In the sections 13th and 14th, this unnecessarily (but cau tiously) is declared with regard to officers who are to be em ployed in procuring legal licenses. Every clergyman is subject to the same punishment precisely, who disobeys the Act with regard to the publication of bans. No Minister, therefore, can publish any bans on the Ist of Sep tember, or afterwards, till all the directions with regard to the affidavits are strictly complied with. It is not now necessary, nor ever was, that the three pub.. lications should be made on three consecutive or following Sundays. But I am of opinion, that every couple who hav'e been three times asked to church legally, under the old Act, have a right to be married at any time within three months after the lit of September, 1322 ' • and those who have been twice or once so asked to church, have the same right to be married after the completion of three publications, by one or two under the new Statute ; and I am also of opinion, that every clergyman re fusing so to marry the parties would be subject to an ac ti on , in which adequate damages might be recovered for so serious an injury. EDWARD CHRISTIAN. Field-court, Gray's Inn, Aug. 27, 1822. CAUTION TO TOLL.GATIIERERS.—By an Act of Parliament passed in the last session, all carts conveying manure, although the Turnpike-road does not pass through the parish whence the cart came, or to which the same is returning, are exempt from toll ; and all carts loaded with lime, the wheels being of the width required by the same Act, are also exempt. The Lord Chancellor, after a short residence at his seat, Encontbe, in Dorsetshire, for which place he is on the point of setting out, intends to visit his estate at Eldon, in this county. We hear that the Gentlemen of the Law intend to give an en tertainment to the Learned Lord, on the occasion of his visit to the county from whence he derives his title.—( Durham Adver tiser, Aug. 30.)

No. 9, New Bridge-street, London. thINCAIRED A. BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate szature. In tic spring of last year my disorder bad got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, one en each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful manner ; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been to a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very ouch discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warns in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest; iu this lamentable state, was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the Wth O. May; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benetit—in little more than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly hea.letl—, :soon after, the sores ors my legs healed also ; leaving, how. ever, considerfttfre - dittolouration in the skin, mid pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessingof Godot a little longer pei severance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regT'-"Ig its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going thus became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free front all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew me, I ant at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion ; so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant, ALEX.

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The very sanguine expectations held out in our last report appear to have been most amply verified. The weather has continued, through full three parts of the present month, the most beautiful, and adapted to getting in the harvest, and indeed to every agricultural purpose, that could even be chosen, were it in our power to choose. This is, to speak generally, as most suitable to the end of a general report. The exceptions are, those heavy rains which, early in the pre sent month, inundated a great part of the midland and northern counties, accompanied by storms which beat down the stoutest and best of the corn, rendering the operation of reaping very laborious and expensive, and inducing the risk of mildew and smut from unabsorbed moisture. In all the most productive districts; our grand dependence, the wheat crop, is safely housed, and _the next article in rank for human subsist ence, potatoes, is of equal promise with the crop of wheat, both in regard to quantity and quality. Barley, Oats, and Beans, are good only in some few forward situations ; in general these crops are considerably below an average, though much improv ed by the showers which succeeded the long drought. Oats par ticularly have suffered from the smut in many parts. No crop has received greater benefit from the rains and subsequent warm weather than the hops, which will nearly double our former expectations. Swedish turnips are a failing crop, destroyed al most entirely by the drought and fly—mere convertible terms. Much of the corn abroad during the rains has sprouted, and they talk of a double crop of the hops, ripe and unripe. The fal lows are backward in tilth and in too many parts choked with couch and root-weeds ; yet, on a general view, the good condi tion of the lands is wonderful, considering the unprecedented distress of the country.— Middlesex, Aug. 26. ld a ' r9 Its, 5s pd grey 09 - boll--.. 03ts Id, p er 9 ,Rye, Eng 175 a 38s a 461 reign 165 !6S p 1 zs a 34S r e v HODS, ne , / laCon , er 6rk4 d " a on e tis- -Wha • Oat s IS' od od a o d od a O s 0 ,1 od a od oil a od a " Od a 39 : °o4i • •• ueasure.

Advocate as he was all his life-time for the liberty of his country, he knew how to stop when it would rise into licentiousness; and at a season of great peril and perplexity, Alien his own party were almost struck dumb with amazement and consternation, he stood up in his place, with all the power of his eloquence, to stem the torrent that was nearly overwhelming the spirits of his mighty adversary, who had so long wcatheredi and even braved, all other storms, and if suffered to take its Course would have probably overwhelmed all real libe'rty and the country itself in a dreary anarchy. It is delightful to witness the same spirit of temperate zeal just rising in one so much younger, and so much more likely to be carried away by an ex travagant ardour for liberty, to moderate between its friends and his enemies, who may be equally injurious to its cause, as a weak friend who be.; trays zeal only, and not knowledge, may even do a greater injury than the most powerful ad versary. Defend me from my friend, says some one; I know how to guard myself against my enemies: but we must not go on further in this strain, lest we should be called to the same account, and be desired by the author, if we would do him ser vice, to hold our tongues. What we are now congratulating the spirit of his father upon is that his son should display not only the same zeal for liberty, but, what is still more to his praise, and is an omen far more propitious of his future fame, the same tone of conciliation for which he was so distinguished—" that anxiety to soften the minds Of his countrymen towards the Greeks rather than to inflame them against the Turks," which breathes throughout the whole of his pamphlet. In this spirit he comes forth in opposition to two publishers of the same excommunicating stamp— " Mr. Hughes's Appeal" and " War in Greece," which would expect the nations to unite in driv ing the Turks out of Europe : the one declaring that we ought to give to Greece a Sovereign and a Constitution, and then evacuate the country ; and the other not hesitating to affirm that the atrocities committed by the Turks against Chris tianity ought to put them under the ban of Euro pean confederation. This is only a small speci men of the taste of many in this country for dis turbing the repose of nations—and only a trifling echo from the voice of so many thousands, who are vociferating vengeance against all Turks and. Infidels, and vow to replunge them back into Asia, and not allow them so much as a foot in Europe, which shall not be tainted any longer with the breath of Islamism : and all this, they do not hesitate to affirm, is as easy as it is de sirable, " But what t exclaims our author, how can it be desirable in the minds of those who have really reflected what it is to expatriate millions of our fellow-creatures, women, too, and children, who, though innocent of the guilt, must be involved in the general condemnation ? DO they consider only that the two populations are interwoven where the scenes occur ? That Rumelia is inhabited chiefly by Turks, and that the Aga or Turkish country gentleman is not every where a faithful original of the Saracen's Head, for which they have made him sit ? That in the paroxysms of national anarchy the innocent. and helpless suffer, while the able and ferocious fatten on the spoil; nay, that the mass of the people suffers misery, without participating in the guilt ? Thus it was even in the French Revolution, when men arc generally allowed to have ap proached nearer to the nature of demons, than at any other period in the history of the world. Did the Allied Powers, during the worst scenes of that Revolution, ever pretend to make war on the French, because their crimes put them under the ban of Europe ? Did not their doctrines and conduct, as tending to revolutionize other Governments, form the ground of that war ? And until this result was apprehended, were they not suffered to indulge their propensity to noyades and fusillades, and to enjoy their mechanical discoveries of the guillotine and the soupape in all peace and quietness ? And are they prepared to say that the enormities of the Turkish Go vernment are likely to encourage the Caravats of Ireland ? Do they reflect that it is no such easy task to root up an enormous population, and replant it in another quarter of the world ? and that this Colussus of clay could scarcely be lifted up by Minerva and set down quietly in Anatolia ? But if it cannot be done quietly, how will they effect it ? 'Would they have the horrors of Navarin and Tripolizza repeated. aye, and multiplied a thousand fold g Do they reflect how much more dreadful the warfare of two armed populations is, than the re gulated destruction of stipendiary armies? that the soldier who is paid to kill his fellow-creatures at twelve kreutaers a day, is the least terrible of belligerent animals ? And all this truly in the cause of freedom ; to drive the Turks out of Europe ; to give to Greece a Sovereign and a Constitution, and then eva cuate the country. Simple enough ! though I apprehend that the country will have been sufficiently evacuated by the effects °f the first part of this remedy. Without saying a word more about the duties of sovereigns towards their fellow-creatures, or even towards their subjects, and considering only the practica bility of the proposed measure, I am surprised that such dis interested destruction of the Turks should be contemplated by an author, whose opinion of the necessary selfishness of all governments is so strong, that he says, only a few pages before, Had not the loss of three hundred thousand of the best French troops taught England that she could not play the same game , the Crowns of Spain and Portugal would probably have been added to that of Great Britain, under as plausible pretexts as are used in the appropriation of the territories of Indian legiti- • . -••• • .

Sorry am 1 that any Englishman should• think his Government so wicked, his countrymen: so, foolish, or his Sovereign se unlimited, as to give a moment's plait.; sibility to such a Wild idea ; but I am glad that he has administered this previdus corrective to his new medicine of a constitution which foreigmers are to prescribe. I con,. fess I doubt the universal efficacy of this fashionable specific for all national disorders; but, at all events, the best ingre; dients in a constitution will be inoperative, unless it is the choice of the people upon whom it is to act : for constitutions are like plants—they thrive or wither according to the scite and soil in which they arcplanted ; and experimental gardening in this line is both uncertain and unsafe; nor would even Earls of Thebes and Sparta, and county memberi for Argolis and 11les senia, render zlircece a bit more like England. " This is not an age in which a crusade will take ;—Le bore ton d'aujourd'hui, c'est d'être blasé surtont ; and Peter the Her.; mit, if he appeared hero, where our regular radical and method igtical establishments at once outbid and undersell all incidental mountebanks, would probably be put into the stocks. - Now, when adventure, instead of being clad in danger' and associated with enterprise, and cote ted by the joung and gallint spirits of the day, counts among her errant Inlets only the couriers of Illestrs.

Nay though the crusades of old,. by banishing and impoverish. ing both kings and nobles, raised the People and sowed th e seeds of freedom throughout Europe,_ promoted trade, augment ed knoWledge, contributed to make one family of many na: tions, and, like the study of alchymy, produced a hOst of un sought and unexpected advanages,—yet the wild romance which prompted them can hardly even be thus redeemed. We are not abusing the nineteenth century : on the contrary . , allow ing for domestic life being the scene of virtue and affection, and for the existence of nations being chequered with . vars andmas sacres, there is just now probably rather less political folly and wickedness in the world than usual."

" CHESTER, Auo. 28.—This morning, about Seven o'clock, the bells of Chester-le-Street struck up a merry peal, being the day . his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was expected to arrive at Lambton Hall. All the people here appeared in a bustle, and, during the forenoon, numbers were arriving from all parts of the country. About twelve o'clock Mr. Lambton passed through Chester-le-Street, in his carriage and six, with a number of out-riders, to meet his royal guest at Durham. Mr. L.'s servants were dressed in their new uniform—light blue jackets, and white lace, with caps of the same. A little after one o'clock, about 700 people on horseback proceeded, four miles on the road to meet his Royal Highness. In return ing, the cavalcade was met by several carriages, phtetons, gigs, &c.

The band could scarcely be heard., for thousands rent the air with their ac clamations. Orr his Royal Highness entering the south end of Chester-le-Street, 21 great guns were fired, and his Royal Highness was greeted by the ladies - waving their handkerchiefs., from windows, and people htitzaing. When his Royal High ness arrived at Chester Bridge, 21 other great guns saluted him from the Parade Ground - . His Royal Highness smiled, and appeared to take particular notice of the several mottos on the various flags that were displayed from the windows. When the ropes were taken off, and the horses put to the carriage, his Royal Highness returned the people thanks for the honour they had done him. Several pieces of cannon were fired at Picktree, as the carriage entered Lambton Park. Excellent cold dinners were provided at Mr. Cuthbertson's, 'Lambton Arms, Mr. Burn's, Queen's Head, Mr. Cresswell's, the Crown, and 20 half barrels of ale were given away in the front of the Quebec Tavern. A bullock was killed, and sent to the diffe rent inns,-weighing 80 stone, besides several large sheep. It was supposed there were upwards of 20,000 people assembled.— (Newcastle Courant.) • CLAN DRUMMOND, PERTII.—We understand that the Drummond Highlanders; 50 in number, set off on Saturday last for Perthshire, highly delighted with the kind patronage and liberality of -their Chieftain, the Right Hon_ Lord Gwydyr. Since the arrival of the clan in Edinburgh, upon the present happy occasion, they haire formed a conspicu- - ous part of the different processions ; they are a set of fine-look ing robust Highlanders, handsomely equipped by their Chief in the true Highland garb, and bearing their ancient badge=--a bough of holly. On his Majesty's landing at Leith, they were stationed next the Royal carriage, and so soon as his' Majesty ho-:f: taken his seat, the leader of the clan went up to his Majesty, and in name of the Chief, welcomed his Majesty to the Highlands of Scotland, which expression of loyal attachment his Majesty was pleased to acknowledge in the most gracious manner. In the evening the clan deposited their banners at the Chieftain's hotel, after which they, through their leader, received the thanks of the chieftain for their alacrity in. assembling to meet him in Edinburgh to welcome his Maje Sty, havhig started from Drummond Castle on six hours' notice, and Llso his entire approbation of their conduct while in Edinburgh, accompanied with a hearty Highland invitation to repair, on their return, to Drummond Castle, to a dinner and ball' on Tuesday first, the 27th of August, whither his Loidship has gone to re'eive them.—( Scotch Paper.)
