ing pugilistic contests are, two to one on Spring, who enters the lists
with Langan to-monow; no actual betting on Relasco and Neale,
who, it is rumoured, tight in the same ring ; 3 to 2 on Stockman,

on Tuesday. April ah. After the great pending battle, it is thought

that by the 11th elattie of the new Marriage Act, either
„r Me paqies are authorised to go before a Surrogate, and,
Laving made the nect.isary affidavit, obtain a marriage li-
cence. Thus the ladies have obtained a new and important
privilege by the kindness of the legislature, rbielt, added to
their presumLlire liberty during the leap year, may be
productive, in the present year, of new and singular
consequences.

pendage of a tread-mill, as has been reported ; the Magis-
