LONDON, MONDAY, NEAY 27, 1844,

against him, who—as might have been anticipated—
f have been utterly unscrupulous in their proceed-
ings, and, by way of damaging their formidable
free trade opponent, have 110 recourse to
such unblushing calumnies as that he is a
Socinian, and a decided enemy to a religious
establishment, whereas it is well known that he is a
zealous member of the Church of -England ; and—as
his proposer, Mr. GARDNER, justly remarked—" has
contributed more to the building of churches in Man-
chester than any other individual 6f his class." Com-
pelled to abandon this party slander, the Monopolists
next endeavoured to raise a vulgar prejudice against
Mr. BRowN, on the score that he was an American ;
but this assertion, too, they were under the humi-
liating necessity of retracting, for- it was proved,
beyond the possibility of contradiction, that he
was " an Irishman, and a man of business and in-
tegrity in every respect, who for a long series of
years had stood at the head of the trade of Liverpool."
If we notice these absurd calumnies, it is not from any
importance they possess—for they are so utterly con-
temptible that it was scarcely worth Mr. GARDNER'S
While to attempt their refutation—but because they
are characteristic of the Conservative nature, because
they show to what low, petty devices this degraded
party will have recourse, in order to accomplish any
end which it may ha?e much at heart. But, despite
all its electioneering chicanery, truth, and justice, and
common sense will prevail, and Mr. BROWN will be
returned the free-trade Member -for South Lanca-
shire. In proposing the monopolist candidate,
Mr. ENTWISLE, Colonel TEMPEST observed that
" he was a gentleman of sound, constitutional princi-
ples, who had greatly distinguished himself at the
University—a sure presage that he would be en-
abled properly to represent their great arid important
interests in Parliament." Of all the egregious non
sequiturs we ever heard, this is, without exception, the
richest and most ridiculous. What has the classical
and mathematical knowledge, which is almost exclu-
sively in request at our Universities, to do with the
commercial, matter-of-fact knowledge indispensable to
a man who aspires to represent the most mercantile
community in the empire ? Does it follow, as a
necessary consequence, that because Mr. ENT-
WISTLE may have been a first class man
at Oxford, or a senior wrangler at Cambridge,
he should fully understand all the complicated details
of trade, and be able to give adequate expression in
Parliament to the wants and wishes of that important
manufacturing district for which it is the object of his
ambition to be returned ? Will his familiar acquain-
tance with the tongues of Greece and Rome furnish
him with arguments on the subject of the Import or
Export Duties; or his knowledge of Euclid and
Algebra enable him successfully to reply to a speech
of Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT on the Sugar Ques-
tion ? With quite as much propriety Colonel
TEMPEST might have inferred that Mr. DISRAELI
would make the best possible representative for south
Lancashire, because he has just honourably distin-
guished himself in the world of letters by his brilliant
tale of " Coningsby !" Mr. ENTWISLE, who, unlike
the rival candidate, seemed sadly at a loss for some-
thing to say worth listening to, praised the present
Ministers in a style that bore all the appearance of
the most cutting irony ; and, among other financial
achievements on which he congratulated them, spe-
cially pointed out that delectable impost, the income-
tax. " No doubt," he said, " they had resorted to
an income-tax, but urgent cases required severe
remedies, and he was ready to contend that
that tax was a good one, urgently called for
by the necessities of the times." Of course, as Mr.
ENTWISLE is such a decided advocate for this light
and delicate impost, he will—upon the principle that
one cannot have too much of a good thing—vote for
its continuance when the three years for which it was
to be in existence have expired ; and we, therefore,
warn betimes the electors of South Lancashire how
they return to Parliament a man who openly and de-
liberately professes his admiration of a tax which is
inquisitorial in its nature—unjust and partial in its
operation—and utterly indefensible in every respect.

main, he discharged with exemplary correctness, that fl
we are grieved to direct attention to what we shall
ever consider the vindictive, coarse, and cruel perti-
nacity with which the KING either originated, or per-
mitted others to originate, the measures which had
for their avowed object to bring about a separation be-
tween his Royal Highness and his wife. The mar-
riage, we have seen, had been celebrated at Rome by
a Mr. GUNN, a clergyman in holy orders of the
Church of England, according to the forms, cere-
monies, and ritual of that Church. In the end of
September, 1793, the illustrious couple arrived in
England. His Royal Highness, still apprehensive of
the displeasure of the KING, had observed a careful
silence on the fact of his marriage, so far as
any public avowal of it in this country was con-
cerned. The condition of Lady AUGUSTA, however,
now rendered it expedient that a further recognition
of it should take place here; and they were re-mar-
ried, by banns, in the church of St. George, Hanover-
square. The entry of this marriage was accidentally
seen by a Nobleman, who reported it to the KING ;
and the Duke was sent abroad by his order. Some-
time afterwards, :on his Royal Highness being at-
tacked with dangerous illness at Berlin, Lady
AUGUSTA repaired thither to nurse her husband ; but
was speedily required to quit that capital. On the
return of the Duke to this country, he resided for
some time with Lady AUGUSTA, in Lower
Grosvenor-street ; but he was on terms ofsuch estrange-
ment from the Royal Family, that he was again
induced to visit the Continent, and they never met
again. Her Ladyship, exposed to the most cruel
privations, was treated with all severity, threatened
with the penalties of a praemunire, irritated by the
apparent neglect and coldness of her Royal partner,
and ignorant of the efforts he was really making to
procure her recognition. What followed is all summed
up in this statement of counsel :
" Some time afterwards proposals were forwarded to her,
through Lord Grenville" (who, we may observe by the
way, ought to have torn up such a commission before the
Royal face, instead of condescending to be its organ), " to
settle 4,000/. a year on her, on certain conditions, such as
giving up the Royal livery; and the lady, smarting under the
circumstances already detailed, accepted these proposals. The
claimant, however, was then, and always had been the object of
his father's affection, who addressed him in terms of as warm
affection as were ever used by parent towards his children.
The Prince, too, desired that the son should succeed to all
his honours. In his will, where he made the Prince of
Wales, afterwards George IV., and the Duke of York his exe-
cutors, he urged them in the strongest manner to maintain
the interests and rights of his son ; and even after being
fully made acquainted with the provisions of the Royal Mar-
riage Act, the Prince still asserted the legitimacy of his son,
and looked on him as entitled to succeed to his own titles and
honours."

One of those solemn appeals to the judgment of the
House of Lords (sitting in a Committee of Privileges),
which always seem to excite in Englishmen, without
reference to ranks, politics, or parties, a profound in
terest, was on Thursday last opened by counsel, on
behalf of an individual whose private virtues and try-
ing position have long earned for him the sympathy
and respect of his countrymen. Sir AUGUSTUS D'EsTE,
claimant to the Dukedom of Sussex, Barony of Ark-
low, Earldom of Inverness, and other the honours,
titles, and baronies of his late father, his Royal High-
ness the Duke of SUSSEX, deceased, was represented
by Sir THOM 4.S WILDE, Mr. ERIE, Q.C., and Mr.
JAMES WILDE ; and the first-named of these gentle.
men addressed their Lordships in a speech as much
distinguished by its constitutional doctrine and sound
law, as for the much rarer excellence of strong com-
mon sense which pervaded it. If to these advantages
in the opening of his counsel, we may add the equity
of Sir AUGUSTUS D'EsTE's claim, derived from the
sanction of all the formalities which the marriage of
his noble mother had clearly received according to the
laws of GOD and man,—all the peculiar and romantic
confirmation which attaches to that ceremony in the
written record of both parties to it—a record in which
its intention, force, good faith, and validity, are confessed
and attested by each, in language of the most solemn
adjuration to the Divine Creator that could be em-
ployed on the most sacred occasions of invoking Him,
—we are tempted to say that the case of the claimant
must be irresistible. But we will here refer the
reader to our abstract of the proceedings before the
Committee of Privileges for the letters of the Lady
AUGUSTA MURRAY—abounding as these do in pas-
sages of the most intense affection for her Royal Con-
sort—of professions of duty expressed with a happy
force of combined dignity and meekness ; and to the
correspondence of his late Royal Highness himself,
breathing throughout the most unaffected and anxious
tenderness for her whom in that document, which,
when he prepared it, he supposed to be his "last will
and testament," in its solemn injunctions on his
Royal brothers, namely, his Royal Highness the late
Duke of YORK and his Royal Highness the Prince of
WALES, afterwards GEORGE IV., and subsequently in
his letter to Lord ERSKINE, he studiously and repeat-
edly declares to be, and designates as, his " dear wife,"
" to whom he had been solemnly and duly married ;"
married, as his late Royal Highness recites in his will,
dated September, 15, 1799, " on the 4th day of April,
1792, at the city of Rome, and in the inn commonly
known by the name of Sarmiento, where my afore-
said wife then resided with her mother, Lady Dim-

MORE, and her sister, Lady VIRGINIA MURRAY ; and
also that, for greater security, and not from any ap-
prehension of the first being insufficient, I again per-
formed the ceremony of marriage with my said wife
at the parish church of St. George, Hanover-square,
in the county of Middlesex, by virtue of banns pub-
lished in the said church, on the sth day of Decem-
ber, in the year of our LORD, 1793." So that, up to
this point, nothing seems to have beeli wanting,
wherein—by any specialty of his own act and deed—
in the most deliberate, formal, unreserved spirit of
acknowledgment, the late Duke of SUSSEX could
admit the fact and the verification of his marriage

We now arrive at the remarkable evidences to the
solicitude of the Duke of SUSSEX to record his volun-
tary disclaimer of the license which a sentence of the
Ecclesiastical Courts might, at first, have appeared to
give him, to repudiate his connexion and disavow
its offspring. But, on the contrary, he thus empha-
tically adheres to the legitimation of both the one and
the other. In the will, already mentioned, he writes—
!
_ " Notwithstanding a decree has since passed the Court of
Doctors' Commons to declare my marriage unlawful and
void, yet I feel myself still not less bound by every obliga-
tion of law, conscience, and honour, to consider her as my
lawful and undoubted wife in every respect as if that decree
had never taken place. And that I consider, and ever shall
acknowledge our son, Augustus Frederick, who was born after
both these marriages, as my true, legitimate, and lawful son."
Nor is this all, for in another will, made in 1800,
he appointed the Prince of WALES and the Duke
of YORK as his executors, and entreated them to
maintain the just rights of his son.
'We need not dwell upon the disgraceful _ resort
which was had to the Royal Marriage Act ; to the
sentence (above alluded to) which was pronounced
under its enactments in the Spiritual Courts; nor
to the facts that attended the passing of the Divorce
Bill founded thereon. But let us recur to the origin
of the Royal Marriage Act. It passed in 1772. In
1771, the KING (GEORGE III.), brother to the Duke
of GLOUCESTER, had married the widow of Earl
LDEGRATE, formerly his Majesty's preceptor, and
the Duke of CUMBERLAND, uncle to the KING, had
married the fair widow of HORTON. Each of these
marriages gave great offence to GEORGE III.; and at
his instigation, this Bill of Restrictions upon the
marriages of the Royal Family of England was intro-
duced into Parliament, and hurried into a law in
defiance alike of the usual forms and decorum of
Parliamentary precedent, and the ordinary
decorum with which such a question ought
ever to be entertained. It was, at once, an
indication of, and a peace-offering to, the KING'S dis-
pleasure. " You do not go so far," said Lord CAMP-
BELL, on Thursday last, to Sir THOMAS. WILDE, "as
some of the Lords who dissented from the Bill, and
declared that it was against the constitution, and,
theugh passed in Parliament, could not have the force
of law." "In consequence of this Bill," says HAYDN,
"none of the descendants of GEORGE IL, unless of
foreign birth, can enter into the matrimonial state
under the age of twenty-five, unless with the consent
of :the KING : and at and after that age, the consent
of ,Parliament is necessary to render the marriage
vallid." Sir THOMAS WILDE ably argued that this
was an Act creating an incapacity. " The law would
therefore look to that incapacity with a jealous eye—
limiting it in every particular; and, unless they Con-
strUed the Act in the most loose manner possible
they could not bring it to operate against the plaintiff."
The Act embodied everything that called for strictness
of Construction. It created incapacity—it limited a natural
right—it inflicted forfeiture and created crime, and therefore
wai to be construed according to the rules of the utmost
strirtness. He did not mean to deny the power of the
Legislature to act upon British subjects anywhere, but the
rul of the common law, in regard to these laws creating
forfeitures, was not to extend them beyond the British terri-
tory, but to confine their operations to deeds done in the
British territory, and the British territory only."
But -Sir THOMAS'S concluding argument was
founded on a dictum of the great Lord STOWELL'S,
which completely shatters to pieces the whole of the
constructive plea upon which it has been sought to
bring the case of this memorable marriage between
the late Duke of SUSSEX and Lady AUGUSTA MUR-
RAY within the scope of the Royal Marriage Act.
Het has shown that clause 1 limited the operation of
thei Act to marriages " solemnised within the British
territory." • Then, as to clause 2
The last clause equally supported the views he had laid
down ; and he contended that the terms of the Act itself,
and the principles of construction applied to it, bore him out
in the meaning which he attached to it—that its 'provisions
could not be extended beyond the British territory and
theiefore did not apply to the marriage of which his client
was the issue. The provisions of this Act did not extend to
Ireland, and this marriage was therefore valid in Ireland.
Now the principle which was recognised by the English law
was, that the ler loci contractus should be the standard
whereby the validity of contracts were judged."
In short, " the,rule of all countries is that a mar-
riage is good, if it was good according to the law or
custom of the place where it was celebrated." The

principle is not alone that of our ascertained decisions
in the law Courts of England, but obtains universally
in those of other countries," &c.
So much, then, for the facts and the law of this
case ; from whence it will, we trust, manifestly ap-
pear to their Lordships that the marriage of the late
Duke of Susszx and Lady AUGUSTA MURRAY was
good, and ought to have been affirmed ; that the
Royal Marriage Act cannot be made to apply to it;
that the legitimacy of the two children of this con-
nection, Sir AtrousTus D'EsTE and his sister, is proved
beyond all doubt, suspicion, or difficulty.

Highness's death it has been hitherto delayed.

The following telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne
was received on Thursday by the French Govern-
ment:—

" BAYONNE, NAY 23.

" The two Queens and the Infanta left Madrid for
Barcelona on the morning of the 20th. General
NARYAEZ accompanies them."

We find by the Madrid papers of the 17th, the
Spanish Three per Cents. had risen nearly two per
cent., owing to some statements put forth by the new
Finance Minister, in which he gives assurances that
he will use every exertion to restore public credit,
and pay the next dividend with the utmost punc-
tuality. It appears, also, that he had received an ad-
vance of cash from the Bank of St. Ferdinand at six
per cent. interest.

On the 17th the Three per Cents. were quoted at
254 for cash, and 30 at 60. days ; and the Five per
Cents. at 201 for 'call), tihdol it 60.:dilys.,

The pamphlet of the Prince DB JOINVILLE forms
the only topic of the slightest interest in the Paris
journals. The Constitutionnel, the Presse, the Com-
merce, and several other papers, reply in rather bitter
terms to the article in the Journal des Dobats on the
subject, but we find nothing in this war of words
which can attract public attention here. It appears
from private letters that the Prince has taken great
offence at the remarks made by the Government, and
had even complained of them to the KING. His
MAJESTY, however, did not seem inclined to grant
any redress. Some altercation took place as to the
expediency and prudence of publishing such a work,
and ended by the Prince declaring that he would
absent himself for a time from Neuilly : indeed it
is officially announced that he left Paris on Wednes-
day for Compiegne.

The Special Committee appointed by the Chamber
of Deputies to examine the demand for an extra-
ordinary credit relative to Algeria, has just had its
report distributed to the Chamber. The Committee,
iu conformity with the decision of the Chamber last
year, approves of the system of occupation proposed by
Marshal SOULT in the preceding session. This system
consists in taking as a permanent military line the cen-
tral line of the Tel, starting from Tlemcen and pro-
;
cfeding by Mascara, the valley of the Cheliff, Miliana,
Medeuh, Setif, and Constantina. The Committee,
hbyteYer, expressed its regret at seeing this line of oc-
ctipation extended, by the creation of permanent ports
established on the skirts of the little desert, at Boghar,
Teniet-el-Had, Tiaret, Saida, and Sabdou, which the
governor-General desires to make centres of Euro-
pkan civilisation, and in consequence it proposes to
tile Chamber a reduction of 10,000 francs on the sum
rlquired for the establishment of those new posts.

alursday, the Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 85c.,
