Thus, then, we sea that on the 22d of February 324 Mem-
bers voted for the Bill ; 21 additional voted for it on Tuesday
night, from which deduct John Martin, of Sligo, who was the
only recusant, and we have 344 Members of the present House
who have declared in favour of Irish Municipal Reform.
'On the other hand we have 244 Tories who voted against
the Bill on the 22d of February, two of whom arc not now in
the House, and 30 additional who voted on Tuesday last,
making, with John Martin, of Sligo, 273 against Irish Muni-
cipal Reform.
Thus, out of 615 Members, we have 344 for-273 against
the present meusure; and of the 43 Members who hare not
declared their sentiments during the present Session, the ma-
jority are in favour of the Bill.
Cold comfort this for Sir Robert Peel and the Tories—a
declared majority of 71, and a known majority of nearly 90.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-The nuptials of
Lord Marcus Hill, brother to the Marquis of Downshire, and
the lovely Miss Blake, were solemnized yesterday at St.
George's, Hanover-square. The Duke of Wellington, Mar-
quis of Downshire, Count Danncskiold, Lord Cowley, and a
great many persons of distinction, were present.
THE MINISTRY.-An Hon. Gentleman, who, we
apprehend, inclines to believe that there is axiom in politics
more unsound than that which asserts that the tutissinium
in rnedio est, infers from the speech the Attorney-General made
when opposing Mr. Ewart's recent motion for the equal division
of landed property in cases of intestacy—a speech by the way
of which we by no means approved, and which we think full of
fallacies from beginning to end—Col. Thompson infers from
this speech in defence of the existing law of primogeniture,
" that the present Government have no real desire to attack
the institutions hostile to the interests of the peaple ; and that
where they do move, they are unwilling Calibans, acting under
some pressure they are afraid of. The end of which will be,—
that they will first let down the country into the hands of a
Tory House of Commons, and then be roused by the appari-
tion of some other Administration, whose prime necessary of
life will be, disclaiming all connection with the present men."
Concurring in the general views of Mr. E wart ou the subject,
and regretting that the Attorney-General should have ventured
such a reply, we still cannot either admit the sweeping infe-
rence, or believe the presumptive prophecy, of the Hon. Mem-
ber for Hull.

A young lady, the daughter of a respectable family
in Cheltenham, was despatched about last Christmas, in a
coach alone, to resume her studies at a boarding school in the
vicinity of London. A gentleman of fortune, acquainted
with her relations, met her, by appointment, at the second
stage from Cheltenham, and she then left the coach with her
luggage, and accompanied him, on their way to Gretna, as
she was persuaded, to the provincial town of Having
kept his unfortunate victim there for ten days, on the plea
that the snow prevented travelling northward, he succeeded
completely in his vile wishes. He induced the young lady,
by various specious reasons, to return to school until a more
favourable opportunity should offer for their union. A forged
note was given to the poor girl, who is only fifteen years old,
purporting that the snow had prevented her return at the
usual time ; and it was only a few days ago that this affair
was discovered.. Morning Paper.
