Mr. &filth nintred ind Mr; barhYshire seconded the confirmation of the picceediio; Botaz said the" Board' ought to pause in the career of extravagance Upon which they had eu,tered:in respect of Birkenhead. He thought there were sufficient cranes on the estate, and'whilst the cranes at the San don Dock were not fully worked he objected to the expenditure of £l,OOO at.

Mr, Smith stated that if the • crane_ were not now erected, the expense in the future would be my much increased. The proposal to erect the crane now was absolutely one of economy. Mr. LOCKE TT ag ree d that it would be wise to put in the feundations at once, but deprecated the erection' of a crane until the. necessity ,for it was detatollgrated by the working of the docks at ilitkeithead.

Sir, —My attention has also:been called ,to a-letter•feera the Birkenhead Railway Company to your board, sliggeSting;that' the Bridgewatnr trustees should be deprived of a portion of ' the . ',a ccom modation which they have held . under , you for upwards of half a century. • Now, although I do not for a moment anticipate that your board will adopt any such principle as that suggested by the Birkenhead Railway Company, I think it would almost seem disrespectful to you, were Inot, in some manner, to notice the' applicatien. The Bridgewater trustees are not desirous of giving up any portion of the Manchester Basin. They are, on the contrary, willing to take a new lease of the premises; and, if conditions can he agreed on with you, they are to -spend money in improving them. . Proper You are aware that the peculiar difficulty that the trustees have to contend with in -docking their flats, and in getting them out of dock, at aboat half tide, arises from their being able only to approach or leaveltuneorn at high water. Their ability , to,compete with the railways .depends largely on their dock arrangements at Liverpool, any interfeiience with which-would be seriously prejudicial to the trustees and • to their numerous customers. The Bridgewater Trustees' trade, carried on at the Manelies ter Basin, is rapidly becoming too large for that dock; and even with the dock gates, under the management of our ; own servants, paid and controlled by ourselves, and who have no -other - interests to serve but our own and that of our Customer s, w e have the greatest difficulty in so working the dock as to aveid detentions ; and I regret to say that, with all our care, we are notuniformly successful. ItNery frequently-happens that our own flats are detained river in the from inability to accommod .te them in the basin. The Bridgewater, Trustees have hitherto arranged to 'devote a portion of their flats to the conveyance of traffic to and from the Birkenhead Railway and Liverpool, and they have accommo dated thik trade at the Manchester Basin ; but it is one t,hing', to work this trade in our own vessels and with ourown staff, and quite another to admit vessels and • a staff over whom we have no control whatever. I object altogether to the proposed a rrangement, and to the prindiple you are asked to' agree to, ibieh would, under existing.eircumstances, be the. means of depriving old tenants (who, by dint of great outlay and exec, tion, are maintaining and working a large and increasing trade in immediate connection with the shipping of your ow,i decks,. and in competition with railway rivals of no slight power and ability) of aceorninodation they long enjoyed, in favour of other parties.

On rimming, the Judge Ordinary read the judgment of the recut.' kecording to the evidence of. the law of France male persons tincrel' the le of 21 and females under the' age of 25 were absolutely froltibited from marrying without the consent of their parent 4 of.their grand parents, if their parents were dead or it } eita`eitated. Women between the age of 21 and 25, and men' hata:4;eeiT the age of 25 and 30, were obliged by a respectfnl iief ft; esk the- consent of their parents or grand parents.; it ttal was refused, they might, at the expiration of • a menifb;• r'en'ew the respectful act ; and at the expiration of another tiontla ?night marry without consent. Persons above the last mentioned ages were only obliged_ to perform 'this respeetful act once; and if consent were refused they night at the eipliatioi of a month marry without it. French Were forbidden to marry abroad without a precious publiedifoi but it tSI tape a marriage which was invalid' by fea'seit of a non compliance with these regulations lie 'tendered valid by a subsequent compliance with third, by obtaining the consent of parents within a given time, or by those who had a right to impeach if . iegl4efing Or call it in question for a given period. The question whether the patties had left France for the pnifose of evading the law was left by the code to the discretion of the French court, and that court, after duly considerlag the circumstances of the ease, had annulled the marriage. There were two questiots, which it now devolved Upon this eotttt to decide. The first was, whether their lordships had jurisdiction ? It had beed contended that they had, for three reasons—first, because the fatties to' the contract were bound by the lex contractile; secondly, becanee Mdlle. Simonin was now a domiciled British siitileet,. having no Intention to return to France, and having no property it that cotmtry; and lastly, because the respondent, tho Ugh abroad, had been duly served by the process of the eourt. The last of these; reasons the court did not ciiiisidei to be of any force; and the second was begging the queSeibti, 3.1d1k. Simonin should turn out to he lairfirlfy" marrie,d , to . Malac her domicile would be the . tiderciTe Of hus band. On the first ground, however, tht coat were . satisfied that they had power to deal with the case . ; The, next question was one of the greatest imp or t a nce, and' one, so far as the court knew, prima) impressionis, namely, whether by the law of this country a marriage which had been duly .solembised in England between parties of full age and capable 'of contracting marriage, was to be held null and void because, being, foreign sub jects, they had come to England in order to evade the law of the country to which they belonged and in which they were domiciled ? - It had been con tended that the incapacity of the parties according to the law of France was a personal status, and travelled with them wherever they might go. Such incapacity was, however, not an absolute one, because it had been proved in evidence that it might be eased by a subsequent act, or by not being impeached within a given time. It had been universally held that a marriage good aceiirding to the law of the place in which it was contracted was good. everywhere else ; the Only 'exception being where such marriage was considered immoral, on account of poly gamy or incest, or where it was specially prohibited . . from motives of public policy, as by own Royal Mar- riages Act. The first case bearing on the subject was that of " Scrimsher v. Scrimeher" (which was decided. by Sir Ed. Sinipson, 2 Consistory Reports, 395). In that case Sir Edward laid down 'the rule as the court had now stated it, not merely. with respect to matters, of eertationial,but with respect to the question of clandes tinity. Story also d'aid 'that there Could - be - very little doubt but the countries in which a marriage had been lawfully celebrated would disregard the law of France, by which such marriage might be held invalid. :Mar-. riages soleinnised by English subjects in Scotland in manifest evasion of the English Marriage Act, had been held to be valid even where the parties had returned to England on the same day. The opinion of the wi l d,. therefore, was that they must decide this ease solely with regard to England. The question. was, what . right had one independent nation to call on another nation equally independent to surrender its laws in to give effect to the restrictions which it had. thought fit to place upon marriage. If there was such a right it could only be founded upon the law of nations, to which all had agreed, because theythought it was for the common benefit; .but it was obviously more for the public good that there should be one uniform law, namely, that the lex loci should prevail. The French law would be equally applicable where one pf the par ties was a foreigner ; and in such a case to which ma ll", ought to pip the compliment ieCtignising the . decisions of its tribunals ? Or, again, was , it possible that the clergy of this country could be held scientes when two persons presented themselves before them to be married, one er both of them being foreigners, that a breach of some foreign law was about to be com mitted. It would clearly be better that that law should in such case prevail with which all the parties were pre sumed to be familiar, or for the consequences involved in the breach of which they might fairly be held respon sible. For these reasons the court felt bound to dismiss the petition. It might be unfortunate' to the petitioner that she should be held to be a wife in England, and an unmarried person in France ; but if she had stayed in France she would have enjoyed all the advantages which the French law would have given. her. As, however, she had elected to settle in England, she must be con tent to be bound by the laws of this country. Petition dismissed.

A correspondent of the Tunes says, the ituttseal late ness of the season, and the extraordinary dearth of roots and fodder, especially in the north and west, end in Ireland, are driving stock-farmers to their wits' end for 'the maintenance of sheep, cattle, and dairy stock. The cost to which they have been put for purchased 'food and coin is quite unprecedented, and the quantity of corn thus tariSaaled will undoubtedly enhance the price of briad, while the reduced condition of all kinds of live stock will limit the supply of meat, butter, and cheese. An early spring would have been invaluable, but that hope is lost. • • ; The . first remedy' we can look for is early grass, and it may be useful ,at present to remind farmers that all young gra& or " seeds," and good meadow, may not only be greatly increased in produce, but forwarded a fortnight or three weeks by the application of certain portable manures. The most sure in its action, either in -dry or wet Weather, and probably also• the most rapid, is nitrate of soda. I have been buying it at liierpool at 13s. 6d. a cwt., and shall use it pretty largely at ,the rate of 2 cwt. an acre. No outlay can pay better, and at, this price it is undoubtedly the cheapest manure in the Market. The addition of Icwt.- of Peruvian guano, or 2cwt. of the best superphosphate of lime will materially increase the produce, and cannot fail- to remunerative this year, either for grass or corn. NQ time should be lost in applying the manure, and the damp weather is pecu liarly favourable ,to the moos& of the. last-namod sub stances. If in ordinary times it is good to make two blades of grass, grow where one grew before, that result will this season be doubly useful and important. THE MATERIALS or PAPER.—The following letter, on the collection of rags for the manufacture of paper, has been addressed to the parochial clergy, the mana gers of parochial institutions, &c., by Richard Herring, the author of a number of works upon the manufacture of paper :—" The late discussions in parliament have brought the subject of paper making . and its materials prominently before the public. British machinery and industry produce the finest paper in the world, and are capable of commanding the market of the world. But paper making demands •is supply ,of rags, and the Continental duties at . present :.curtail that supply. England requires at least 120,000 tons yearly. of which she supplies but 40,000. The question is, can that home supply be enlarged ? lam confident that it can, and to an extent more than adequate to all its demands. The collection of rags has hitherto been by a small traffic in the hands of petty dealers ; and the general carelessness of collirtion and the lowness of price have equally diminished the quantity. It has been ascer tained that in scarcely 60 houses out of every 100 any collection is ever made. This negligence arises partly from mistakes as to the nature, value, and manner of the due collection. It has been commonly supposed that white rags alone are of use in paper making. But coloured rags generally are useful, and even waste paper can be valuably employed in the manufacture. Every house keeper ought to have three bags—a white one for the white rags, a green one for the coloured, and a black one for the waste paper (the three might he furnished for a shilling), which would prevent litter, waste, and the trouble of collecting when the demand came. A suitable -agency formed in the towns and villages would settle all demands, arrange the contributions, and reduce the whole into a regular trade. Paro chial officers would find attention to this subject a very effectual mode of increasing the means at their disposal for charitable purposes. The general apprehension that we require French or foreign rags for our manufacture is a mistake ; we have sufficient supply at home, if we will but make use of it. There are more rags wasted, burnt, or left to rot, than ' would make our paper manufacturers independent of all assistance from abroad. A regular communication ought to be formed by country carriage, and by rail roads, for the conveyance of the bags to London, or to those paper-mills in the country which enter largely into the trade. A plan is proposed which will place the whole subject plainly before the public, offer proper pledges, establish proper means, and give the whole movement the degree of activity and regularity which may render it profitable to individuals and the country. The long acquaintance of the writer with the details of the trade enables him to speak with full knowledge of its necessities, its means of success, and its peculiar value to the general interests of commerce. It no less permits him to speak with confidence of the results of relying on our E nwn resources in the present difficulty. We require ly the application of the means in our possession. A little industry, a little intelligence, and an established system would per fectly secure us an important branch of art and trade, already worth £6,000,000 sterling, employ ing a large number of skilled workmen, and con ducing, most effectually, to the industry and comfort of the peasantry, and to the trade and resources of the empire. The present subject is not altogether volun tary ; it has been urged on me by letters from various quarters, all expressing the same necessity for making an effort in this direction, for calling the public attention to our resources, and for giving 'a new impulse to a trade which has hitherto been limited, but which may be car ried successfully wherever British commerce extends over the globe. SUCTENCE A DAY.—A London paper furnishes the following :—There is now an old man in an almhouse in Bristol, who states that for sixty years he spent sixpence a-day in drink, but was never intoxicated. A gentle man who heard this statement was somewhat curious to ascertain how much this sixpence a-day, put by every year, ats per cent, compound interest, would amouut to in sity years. Putting down the first year's savi ng (three lundred and sixty-five sixpences) nine pounds sterling eleven shillings and sixpence, he added the interest, and thus went on, year by year, until he found that in tie sixtieth year the sixpence a-day reached the startlingsum of three thousand two hundred and twenty fire pounds sterling nineteen shillings and ninepence. Judge of the old man's surprise when told that had he saved nie sixpence a-day, and allowed it to accumulate at command interest, he might now have been worth the abme noble sum ; so that, instead of taking refuge in an =house, he might have comforted himself with a houskof his own, and fifty acres of land, and have left thelegaoy among his children and grand-children, or viptl t for the welfare of his fellOW,-lue4 MISCELLANEOUS. onTWheednCaelstyt'aaatnßducckhiningahamm.aPilaslaacree.

A ROYAL WISII.—" When Victor Emmanuel returned to Turin after Villafranca," says the Paris correspondent of the Mcnichester Otatrdian, "he made part of the journey quite atone in a railway carriage with the Emperor. On reaching the palace at Turin, he found in the state hall some ten or fifteen intimates of his military household waiting to greet him.' He strode silently up to them, looked at them, and' then fiercely claimed in Piedmontese patois, 'Ten times over I had lik e d to have strangled him!' He said no more, but ai m/l i m a b yery one, and was left alone. For this I can vouch."

He believed the ragged schools which had been established within the last few years had greatly tended to diminish juvenile crime. He congratulated the com mittee that the attendance of children wasso large, and be thought that great good would result from the establish ment of the savings bank in connection with the school. He feltgrcat pain in alluding to the recent fight, which he regarded as a great counteracting influence to ragged schools. He thought it was a curse to the country that such a thing should have' taken place. Mr. Gurney concluded by adverting to the necessity for establishing playgrounds, arid by promising thal all the children before him should have a trip_to the Crystal Palace at his expense. The Ragged School Union prizes having been distributed to eight girls and three boys; the secre tary read the report, in which it was stated that the average attendance at, the school was about -200. The expenditure had been £3lO 13s. 7d., and the society was £6l Is. Bd. in debt. The Rev. T. Richardson moved the adoption of the report, which being seconded by the Rev. W. Grigsley, was agreed to.

Sunday, from the seal fishing at Greenland, completing her first voyage. So far as the vessel's sail ing qualities are concerned, she has proved herself first class, and , amply fulfilled her builder's and owners' expectations, haying; • both when outward and home ward'bound, accomplished her voyage in a remarkably short time, the latter occupying only four dept. But as regards the success she has met with in obtaining- a cargo of fish, we. regret to 'Say the voyage has -proved itself an almost complete failure, her "catch" consisting' only of eighteen seals, and the intelligence she brings from that quarter leaves all the other vessels (of which there were about 130 on the field) in a like unfayouiable predicament; .none having succeeded in obtaining a larger "catch." Captain Bruce, of the Camperdown, states that for four weeks, during which time he mimics., cessfully struggled for a passage, north=easterly windS continued incessantly to beat against them, to which oause, together with the keen frosts at , the time, he. attributes his want of success, though he has little doubt that the north-west gale which accompanied him home will tend to open up . the rivers and drive out the fish, which may enable the remaining vessels even yet to effect profitable voyages • but up to the hour of his leaving the station, on ;he 17th instaat; there was .neither sign nor symptom of. an approach of fish or of the opening of the ice, • and rather than sacrifice the summer's voyage to the whale fishinga.t Davis' Straits, by remaining longer at.

'vessel 'is presently undergoing her equipment at the harbour; and receiving her complement of coal end stores with the utmost expedition, as it is Intended to deapatch.het for the whale fishing on Thursday next if possible, where; it is to be hoped, she will meet with better. success.
