Pressed a hope that the Bill would still be re-
jected, or materially amended by the Lords.

We request the attention of our Readers to a
series of letters on THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT,
of which the first appears in TILE SUN of this
day. The Author is a professional Gentleman,
to whom the public are indebted for many able
works in support of our most important interests
Church and State, and who, we are persuaded,
has no motive but the love of truth, justice, and
the country.—lt is, as he observes, surplizing
indeed that the Act in question should have
Passed in opposition to the opinions of the Great
Law Authorities of the Country now living, and
Particularly to those of the venerable Head of the
Law, the Earl of ELDON, who in legal profun-
dity, wisdom, experience, and conscientious rec-
titude, can never be excelled, and probably
Ilever will be equalled, in this or any country.

GIIIIIALTAR.-The Gibraltar Chronicle of the
Bth inst. contains the following Proclamation :
" His Excellency the Governcir deems it necessary to set on
foot those precautionary measures for securing the public health,
Which the efficacy has been proved by the experience of the
•ast seven years ; it is therefore most strongly recommended,
that those inhabitants who have not passed the epidemic fever,
4/1d are in consequence liable to its attacks, do make arrange-
rnents so as to be able to retire, for the night, to the huts in the
neutral ground, on or before the 25th instant.—Camp-equipage
will be issued to the poorer classes of inhabitants, who in like
Manner have not passed the period of the fever, under the same
l'eVations as in the years above-mentioned.
' Given at Gibraltar this 6th day of July, 1822.
