THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT.

The following opinion of the King's Advocate,
Sir CIIRISTOPIIEIt ltontrisos, upon the above
Act, we recommend to the attention of the
Public :

Referring to the late Act, 3d Geo. IV., cap. 75, sec. 16,_ and
the former Marriage Act, the opinion of the King's Advocate
is requested, on the following questions :—Whether any Mar-
riage or marriages, from and after the Ist of September next
ensuing, can be valid ; of which marriage or marriages afltl
three several publications of banns, or two or one of Such pub-
lications, shall have taken place con/or-wetly with the before-
mentioned Act of his Majesty King George the Second, " for
preventing clandestine marriages," and previoasty fa the let ef
September :1 or whether any Minister or Ministers solemnizing
the same be in the legal exercise of his or their duty ?
" DocTons' Commoxs, Aug. 27, 1192.
" The clauses of the late Marriage Act (a. 16; 22.) relating
to banns, contain nothing contrary to the former Act, nor sub;
stantially differing therefrom.
" The names, abode, and age of the parties, are required to
be stated in the affidavit, and the names and abode are to'br
affixed to the church door, and remain there during the three
Sundays on which the banns shall be published; that is, in
future cases (as I understand it), but not excluding exceptions
of former publications, before legally existing, which are not
annulled by any terms in this Act, nor by necessary implica-
t on ir'si:-g therefrom.
" The 19th clause declares, That after the solemnization
any marriage under a publication by banns, such marring*
shall not be avoided for want of, or by reason of any defect
any such affidavit, or on account of the true name or names ot,
ether party not being used in the publication of such banns,or
fur such same or names not having been affixed as aforesaid.`
There can be no nullity or invalidity, therefore, arising oat of
the forms introduced in the above clauses.

" Considering that those clauses are to be construed, in con:
junction with the former Act, beneficially for the furtheranca
of marriage, and so as not to interrupt the ordinary means of
contracting lawful marriage, I am of opinion that banns pub-
lished under the former Act, before the Ist of September, will
enure and be valid, solely, if completed, or as the case maybe,
in conjunction with banns duly published after that day, under
the provisions of the late Act ; and that the Minister so-
lemnizing marriage thereon will be in the legal exercise of his
duty. •

ST. MARY, NEWiNGTON.—As there is always
danger of misapplication when the national purse is Opened
under local trustees for local purposes, the public is propor-
tionably obliged to those who watch with care, and oppose with
vigour' any encroachment for private ends on a public fund.
On this ground, the Vestry Meeting recently held in the
church of St. Mary, Newington, to " take into consideration
some proceedings of the Trustees appointed for building
churches in this parish, as to the ground purchased for the
in ended church-yard in Walworth-road," deserves the thanks
of the inhabitants. It appears from the resolutions then
adopted, that the Trustees have purchased an acre and
three quarters of land for the scite of a new Church, and
for a 'burial ground, at the expence of 2,3511., or at the
rate of 1,4001. per acre ; that this land, when purchased,
was lew &mid, and that it was enfranchis d for 191. by the
Dean and Chapter of Canterbury. The parishioners ex-
press th, it opinion that this price was excessive ; and without
being able to determine this point, we may be allowed to con-
gratulate the original propnetors, that the ground "or the
Walworth-road" is still valuable, whatever depression may have
taken place in the price of land in other parts of the kingdom.
But the meeting had still a graver complaint against the Trus-
tees: they complain not only that they arc too liberal purchasers,
but that a fifth part of this well-paid field is to be given up, with-
out any compensation, to be made into a road, for the private
advantage of certain persons who occupy houses in the neigh-
bourhood. We are unable, of course, to vouch for the truth of
these allegations, or the justness of these complaints ; but when
we see them embodied in the public proceedings of a respectable
meeting of parishioners, with the churchwarden and overseers of
the poor at their head—when we find that meeting zealously
determined, at the risk of considerable expence, to oppose the
intended arrangements, on the ground that they would di.
vert the public money from its legitimate purpose—and when
we reflect how liable trustees are to be imposed upon by pri-
vate partialities or individual representations, we cannot
but think that the case requires investigation from the ge.
ne7al Commissioners, and that no final step ought to be taken
till the parishioners are satisfied, or the trustees vindicated.—.

TnE-EA r. OF PORTSMOUTH.—This Nobleman,
about whom so much has lately been said, is now
at his seat, llurstbourne-park, near Andover,
Hants,: where he is watched and attended in :all
his Movements, by an officer connected' with the
principal Police-office of the metropolis. . When
his Lorchhip, on the occasion of his rapid journey
from Edinburgh some few weeks ago, arrived 'at
the seat of .Lord GuANTLEv, near GitildfOid,
Surrey, an express was sent off to LondOn,And
two police-officers left town immediately (We
understand in the middle of the night) to he in
attendance upon his Lordship's person. They
remained with him until he departed for Hurst-
bourne-park, whither one of them afterwards
followed, and he now resides there. A similar
course was pursued, on a like occurrence happen-
ing three or four years ago. A police-officer was
then in attendance upon the Noble Lord,-for
nearly six months, during which time he rode out
in the carriage with him, and, scarcely T, ever
quitted his presence for a single moment. These
officers were employed upon the duty,
,at the
instance of the Honourable NEWTON FELLOWES,
the brother of Lord PORTSMOUTH.

W ELM G ENTI LIT Y.—A. whimsical story is. told-
by Mr. YOItKE respecting an expedition of
JAMES 1. into Wales. When he was on the
road near Chester, he was met by such numbers
of the Welsh, who came out of curiosity to see
him, the weather was so dry, and the roads so
dusty, that he was nearly suffocated, He' WEIS
completely at a loss in what manner to rid him-
self of them civilly ; at last, one of his attend
ants, putting his head out of the window,•said,
" It is hisMAJESTY'S pleasure that those whip
are the best Gentlemen shall ride forwards."
Away scampered the Welsh, and but one., scV.
tarp man.was left behind. " And so, Sit',"
says the Kiwi to him, " you are not a Gentle-
man, .then 1" " Oh yes, and please bur Mgt*
J EST Y, hur is as good a shentleman as the rest;.
but hur ceffyl (horse), God help hur, is not sp
good." •
_ _

Coxsctrwr• ous Couuian.—By a singular re-
gulation, the Government Couriers in Austria are
ordered, when they are charged with dispatches
sealed with only one seal, to go at a walking
pace ; if with two seals, to trot ; and if with
three, to gallop. A .courier, bearing a dispatch
with three seals, passing lately through a garrison
town, was requested by the Commandant to take
a dispatch to the next town, to which he wil-
lingly agreed ; but perceiving, when he received
it, that it had but -one seal, lie refused to take
charge of it, saying, " that the regulations or-
dered him to walk his horse with such a dis-
patch; and as he had another with.which he was
ordered to gallop, he could not possibly take
them both."

The inhabitants of the City of York are much
vexed that the late Reform Meeting was held
during the race-week, as they believe it tended
greatly to injure the town. Certain it is, that
we have heard of many Gentlemen who would
have attended the races, but kept at home in con.
seque.nce of that ill-timed meeting.—(Leeds In.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

VXTRACTS FROM THE .I>A tLY MORNING PATERS,

August 29, 1522.

[MORNING POST.] - •
'be Klag.,,-laying aside all the usual formality
of State, fully entered into the spirit of the fes-
Jive:scene, which he honoured with his presence
Uu.Saturday last, at Edinburgh. lie repeatedly
Jaid4i.e.ssed the company in concise and appro-
priate :speeches, the sentiments of which must
.have made ariindelible impreSsion on his hearers;
Itutl.lais Majesty retired amidst the fervent and
lopg continued acclamations of the brilliant as-
sembly,
.who regretted .the early departure of
their illustrious Guest. The Lord Provost pre-
sided for the Lest of the evening, and various
appropriate toasts were enthusiastically drunk.
One of them, " the healths of his Grace the
Duke of Hamilton and the Peers of Scotland,"
proposed. by Lord Melville, called up the
former Nobleman, who certainly made a very
speech upon the occasion. There is a season
for ev‘ry thing, says the adage—but never was
any thing more out of season than the egotistical
rhodomontade of his Grace. lAre suppose no-
body doubted his " stedfast readiness to main-
tain a loyal duty to his Sovereign," or, that he
was the readiest among the ready, to " come for-
.ward and pay homage to the honour and dignity
of the Crown." We are not disposed to cavil at
ing these sentiments, however unnecessary
their declaration might be : but why lug in, as if
Tie were addressing a mob of Parliamentary Re-
formers, the " just and jealous rare which he was
bound to observe towards the rights and rnterests
of the people ?" And again : " .He felt a pride
in ben ipg every respect and honour to whomso-
ever:wore the Crown of these realms ; but, in
doing so, he repeated, that he must not forget,
In -honouring the King, that he had also duties to
Put in a.claim for, and maintain, on the part of
the people, which were interwoven with the best
rights and securities of the Crown," &c. &c.
IR the name of wonder, what had the rights
itnd privileges Of the people to .do with a civic
bViquet given to the Sovereign ! His Grace
might have.introduced an episode about an Egyp-
tian mummy, arid it would have been just as
germane to the business of the day—just as good
wproof of his Grace's taste, and more acceptable
to -the co.inpany--for the contemptuous silence
was observed when his Grace sat down
must have taught-him the value they set upon his
Oration. It•was only a-higher sense of decoruth
than was displayAl before them, .that prevented
,the expression of no unequivocal marks of dis-
gust at such an imbecile attempt to mingle the
acrimony of political:feeling with the joyous and,
:loyal• enthusiasm that peilided-every booth.

• ,Some anxious apprehensions, we find, have been
.expressed, lest the delicacy of my Lord Col-
chester's health may unhappily compel him to.
*t.,:line the honour of . a seat in the Cabinet,
it: is said, his Lordship's friends intend
to'propose.for him. The assiduous duties of the
Speaker's Chair are understood to have produced
injurious effects;which neither time nor travelling
live sensibly ameliorated. Perhaps, however,
Lordship's constitution is qilLelastic enough
for the duties of office, and we are not without
12-cpe§ but the exercise of body and mind, which
a'Cabinet Minister is paid to undergo, might much
contribute to his eventual recovery. At the time
of tasl.ordship's elevAtion'to the Peerage, those
best acquainted with the nature of his complaint
iiOnceived that a removal 'to Whitehall might be
productive of the most salutary consequences,
and regretted that he should have been under the
necessity of undertaking apilgrimage to St. Peter's.

We understand that Sir Lowry Cole is ap-
pninted.to the Government of the Mauritius, in
the room of Goveinor'Farquhar, who returns to
England forthwith. It is said that a distinguished
Officer who some time .bacic. filled an important
sitUall9n immediately inider his Royal. Highness
the:Corrifnande'r in• Chief, would have obtained
this q,ppointment, ha'd his health permitted its
acceptance. Sir Lowry Cole will,probably, find
a sufficient compensation for the insalubrity of an
Easieral climate in the handsome emoluments of
Eastern Governoro4)p.—(ibid,)

a report should prevail in the capital of
Austria that it is intended by the Allied So-
vereigns to restore the ancient Kingdom of
Poland to its original power, and place upon the
Throne an independent Sovereign. We can-
not hope that Austria, Russia, and Prussia, will
disgorge the rich plunder which they had seve-
rally acquired upon the first partition, nor that
Russia will consent to resign what still remains
of Poland, and which in fact now constitutes one
of the fairest portions of the Russian Empire.—
But the prevalence of such a rumour evinces the
current of public opinion in Germany, and
proves the existence of a wish that 'justice should
at length be done to a noble and gallant nation.
We learn from the German Papers that a society
exists in Poland called Polonia, the object of
which is to effect by any means the re-union of
that country, and to accomplish its independence.
It is a glorious purpose as it affects Poland
alone, but as it regards Europe in general, it
embraces a principle of policy which the ambi-
tion and power of Russia ought to make valuable
to every other Cabinet.

[MORNING HERALD.]
His Majesty is, most likely, by this time, on
his return, after a pleasant and auspicious visit
to his Scottish subjects.—The ardour and unani-
mity of the public joy has not been broken by
the slightest incident ; and though political feel-
ing is, we believe, as strong, and as directly op-
posed in Edinburgh as in any part cif the Em-
pire, it is equally creditable to the sense of duty
and the sense of propriety of the two great par-
ties to have, for the time, agreed to a truce of
contention. The speech of the Duke of Hamil-
ton is scarcely an • exception. More notice
has been taken of it, and more weight
given to it, than it deservedeven, we should
think, in the Noble Duke's own estima-
tion. An eulogy upon it, as a display of public
spirit and independence, is vulgar and pre-
posterous; and a censure of what seems a
were lapse of judgment, at a moment when
the judgment may have been no longer perfectly
collected and cool, is indeed scarcely candid. It
appears that the Noble Duke spoke after his
Majesty had already departed. It would have
been better, however, that the speech had not
been made—a proof of which is, that it found no
response in the Assembly to which it was ad-
dressed. Party politics should, on such an occa-
sion, have been religiously abstained from. There
were two things which should have excluded all
reference to this irritating, though hackneyed sub-
ject—the Royal presence, and the genius of hospi-
tality. The social circle should, on occasions like
this, be like that sacred piece of ground in the ter-
ritory of one of the small Republics of ancient
GreeCe, which was no sooner entered by enemies
arrayed against each other, than they religiously
laid aside their arms and met in peace. There
may be, and 'doubtless there are, occasions
enough for asserting the rights of the people, and
lecturing upon the freedom of the nation and the
constitutional limits of the Crown, even so openly
that the lecture may reach the ears of Kings;
but in this instance the occasion was Unhappily.
taken—or, it may be, was taken in a moment
of thoughtlessness.

[THE TIMES.]
.. .

The Tories, we find, are somewhat displeased
with the Duke of Hamilton, for the undisguised
frankness with which he delivered his sentiments
at the Edinburgh Corporation dinner. Gene-
rally speaking, it.must be acknowledged that a

political assembly is the proper place for the ex-

_ .
pression of political opinions; and' to a certain
extent we may be disposed to hesitate about
the taste or prudence exhibited by the No-
ble Duke in taking a compliment of pure
courtesy offered to himself at a convivial
meeting, as the text for a profession of his
constitutional faith. and principles, when nei-
ther were brought into dispute. But having said
so much, Ave have, as it appears to us,- left
nothing unsaid that can be fairly urged in the
way of objection to the speech of this respect-
able Nobleman. If his taste was doubtful, his
spirit and honesty were entitled to the warmest
applause. .Nap, the less apt or inviting the ccca-
sion in the judgment of ordinary men, the more
conspicuous was the proof thus afforded of the
zeal and noble jealousy by which his Grace was
animated on behalf of the cause of public liberty
and of his own honour, as..- the head of the
ancient Peers of Scotland. It perhaps oc-
curred to his Grace's mind, that when his health
was drank in conjunction with the Scottish
Peerage, he took no unfit or unbecoming license,
by vindicating his claim; to so high a compliment,
and putting on record his own sense of the solemn
obligations and exalted duties of the Peerage. It
is possible that his Grace might apprehend some
• unhappy .misconstruction of the toast, or of the
conditions on which he accepted his share of it, if
he did not, by an oblique though intelligible
protest, contrive to purify himself personally, from
• the suspicion that the virtues and services which'
entitled' him to such an honour, were precisely of
the same class and kind 'as those which consti-
tuted the .well-known title of many of his noble
brethreu, then present, to be embraced within it.
It is, again, more than probable that. his Grace
perceived the' tide of Toryism -to set so strongly
among certain, ranks or the citizens and others
who surrounded him, that it was useful to
oppose the head of the Aristocracy to the
torrent. We do . not regret that the first
N6bleman in Scotland has acted this _proud
•and manly part-that he has rebuked, almost in
the euspicious . presence of that Sovereign who
owed his Crown to Whig, principles, the' base de-;
votion of.Jacobitism ito the creed of arbitrary
power. :Nor could it be otherwise than benefi-
cial - to. his
.:Majesty himself to show the world;
that although he might invest. his person with' the
plaid and insignia of the House of:Stuart, there
were in Scotland true and faithful Counsellors,
who Would: remind,him, if necessary., that the

LANCAtTER, Mc) Auo. 26.
CRO WN COO RT.—RAPE.

James Lowe, aged 21, arid James Pajfrey-man, aged 19; Were
charged with ravishing, and with assisting and abetting John
llfackintrisla in ravishing, 'Mary Burgess at Heaton Norris,
(John Mackintosh, Charles Machir, Thomas Lowton, and
Joseph Dale, absconded.)'
Mr. Asnwormr stated the case to the Jury, which he re-
presented as more pregnant with cruelty and barbarity than
any that had ever come before a Jury. it was painful to give
even the outline. It must appear extraordinary that seven per-
sons should be each charged with having committed the crime ;
but if the offence was committed, that was sufficient to convict
all who were aiding and abetting of the crime. The Learned
Gentleman then detailed the circumstances and facts to be given
in evidence.

Mary Burgess—l live in Heaton Norris. I was in Stockport
with a person of the name of Pepper on the 25th of May—a
Saturday night. He was my sweetheart. I had been in a pub-
lic-house with him, and came out between ten and eleven
o'clock. I was ill at the time. I was not falling down. I
fell sick when I came down. I went forward on the Under
Bank. There I stopped. There was a gang of fellows that
came up to John Pepper and me, and they carried me away—
first in their arms, then on their shoulders. I lived then in
Stockport. 1 was carried to Heaton Norris. I never recol-
lected myself afterwards till I found myself in my brother's
house in Heaton Norris ; that was about six o'clock next morn-
log. I found myself very ill and sick. My legs and breast
were disc loured. I felt lame. [Here the witness seemed so
reserved in her evidence, that his Lordship reminded her that
she had been before a Magistrate, and that public justice re-
quired her to speak out, and state what she knew.] She thought
her person had been violated.
By Mr. WittiAms, for Lowe—l had not been accustomed
to liquor, and a little runs and water which I took made me
mazy and sick, and I lost all recollection till next morning. I
recollect men carrying me but nothing else.
Jane Burgess--I am wife of the brother of the last witness.
1 recollect her being brought to our house between one and two
o'clock on Sunday morning. She was in a very bad state, not
sensible till between seven and eight o'clock next morning. I
said, " I think you are in a very bad state ;" and she said, " I
think I am." Pepper fetched her to our house. She com-
plained that she felt very sore. She had neither bonnet, cap
shoes, or pocket on her. Her petticoats and her clothes were.
torn, hanging to her, and she was covered with dirt. She went
from our house an hour or two after, and was very ill; she was
able to go • she could not walk well.
By Mr. WiLtiAms--1 can't tell whether.she was insensible
from liquor or not.
James Lees.—l was on my way home between 11 and 12 at
night; passed the Horse Shoe in Heaton Norris; saw a num-
ber of men, and they had a woman ; she was down. I saw
John Pepper at that time. Pepper was claiming her, and said
she was his sweetheart. They said he had no business with
her. A man of the name of.). Bower pulled Pepper away, and
insisted on some of the men assisting him in taking Pepper
away to the New Bailey, and said he would have the woman
out of the town. SOme of the men assisted him. I stood heark-
ening and looking what there was to do. They took the woman
away, and that being my way, I followed towards Manchester.
They took her into a by-lane. between Mr. Swingles's and John
James's. I stopped on the old road to see whether Pepper and
the men that were with him would come. (The witness here
gave an account of what he saw the men doing with the woman.)
James Lowe sat at the side of her head, and acted as superin-
tendent of the horrible transaction. I said to Lowe—" It is a
shame to use any woman so." " 4 Ay, (he said) it is." With
that I turned away. Pepper and James Lee came up, and
Pepper said—" She is here, will some of you assist me, and I
will carry her away from them if I should lose my life." She
lay on her back and appeared insensible. There were from 13
to 20 persons about her then.. .Pepper carried her away on his
back. Her clothes ware torn, and her hair hanging down all
roads.
,She was falling off Pepper's back, and I helped her
better on. I went towards home. I thund Lowe before me.
He turned himself round and said—" Man, don't follow her
again, now you have done what you would with her." I went
on and Lowe turned away. James Bower came up and tapped
me on the shoukler,sind said " I insist upon your assisting me
to take this man and this' woman up," meaning Pepper and
Mary Burgess. Jesse Dale was there.
John Pepper.--I: wasstoming. out of a public-house with
Mary Burgess in thoUn4erbank. She said she was ill. She
tumbled down. Persons came upand asked to assist her home.
I said I should be obliged to them to let us alone. They said
they would have me tai en. to the New Bailey, and her out of the
town. They carried` her to the Horse Shoe, and let her down,
so that .her head bounced against the flag. They carried her off
then, some at her head, some at her feet. I said it was a shame
to use any woman so. They said it was nothing at all to me,
they would do.what Tthey;liked with her. They asked her if
she was any thing to Mei" and she said " No.' They talked
of murdering me if I followed. Five of them held me for ten
minutes or fifteen minutes, whil,e she was carried away. I '
went with James Lees to find her after that. (He described
how he found her, and mentioned some most brutal barbari-
ties). I carried her to her brother's. She was all the time in a
state of insensibility.
Robert Crickley. —I was with the prisoner Lowe, in 'Heaton
Norris, on the 25th of May. There were twelve or fourteen
men and one woman. Johii Mackintosh was among them.
Lowe was there, and Palfreyman, who was looking like the
rest.—( This witness, quite a youth, spoke to four or five, as
perpetrators of the crime charged.)
John Brogden Sladen, surgeon at Stockport, saw Mary Bur-
gess on the following Thursday. She laboured under a fever,
very poorly, and under a considerable irritation. The cause he ,
believed to be the violence charged in the indictment.
Francis Donovan went in search of Palfrepnan after the
25th to his house, two or three times. I did not find him at
home. On the 10th of June, I met him going out of town.
He acknowledged his name. I said I wanted him for the
rape on Manchester-hill. Ile-said he knew nothing at all about
it, and was not there. He said he had not been there after four
on Saturday afternoon, and lie could prove where he was. He
seemed very much alarmed.
By Mr. Cove sinsr for Palfreyman.—l had not particularly
searched for Palfreyman for a week before.
James Lowe, in defence, told a long story, to show that he
had not been one of the party, but had accidentally come where
they were, and exerted himself to prevent the outrages.

James Palfreyman said be never saw any thing of the kind.
William Rutherford was called for Lowe. He stated nothing
material.
James Lees was recalled for Lowe. Lowe came to me on
Sunday morning, defending_ . and proving. I was not acting on
the night in question in the way of constable.
Mr. Baron Woon summed up. Ire had never heard of
such a scene of outrage. One would have supposed that in a
country like this, such a scene could not have existed.
The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour—James Palfrey-
man, Not Guilto ; James Lowe, Not Guilty.
Mr. Baron WOOD.—Prioners, I hope this will be a warn-
ing to you, and that you will conduct yourselves better in
future.
Prisoners.—Thank you, my Lord.
