MARRIAGES IN BENGAL—By an Act of Parlia-
ment, passed in the last Sessions. marriages so-
lemnized by Ministers of the Church of Scotland
in the British territories in Itidit are made as legal,
and of the same force as tho.e solemnized by
Cle►gynien of the Church of England. But one,
or both of the persons so married must previously
prove that they are Membe►s of the Church of
Scotland.

ROMANTIC SCENBRY.-The operations which
have been going on for some time past at Salis-
bury Craggs, near Edinburgh, the effect of which
is to take away all that is striking and picturesque
in the aspect of this rock, and to give it
the appearance of a common stone quarry, are
now likely to be suspended. The Officers of
State have at last resolved to take up tl►e ques-
tion as to the right of the Magistrates of Edin-
burgh to demolish this rock. Instructions have
been given to the Grown Solicitor to prepare a
case for the opinion of the Crown Lawyers (and
the Earl of lIADM GTO N having, it is understood,
disclaimed having right to more than the pastu-
rage), there is reason to believe that tl►e farther
progress Of demolition will be prevented by inter-
dict, it that shall be necessary.--(11erall.)

Tli C COLONIES.

[Fioni 7..te Royal Graette Adcertiaer,.ial.'y 21.]

'F. the inhabitants tif the B:ilianta represonttd iu

the late House of Atteiiilily

We, the 'undersigned Me:iibets of the late
House of pl.setobly, nave with drop concern to
state to our Coles:intents, that the General As-
sembly of these Islands has been o►oce ttiOre dis-
solved before its regular business iras, or could
leave been, eat, erect opon 5 and under circtimst6nces,'
and in aeunanner, n►enacing to an c►lartiiiug extent
a perpetuation of the present increasing difficulties
and sevei e distresses of the cottony.

On an event of such pet ilous moment, we b-g
leave respectfully to submit to your judgment a
lair statement of all circunistances in ttwerial
connection therewith : tt measure to which we
are.iMpelle.d, not. only by A general sense of duty,
hot more particularly as the Speech with which
his lionour Mr". President Mannings closed the
late Session, as published in The Royal Gazette
or thekill, instant, has, with a singular degiee
.of asperity, strangely imputed to the House, not
only a want of temper and moderation in its pro-
ceedings', but of studied disrepect also to-his Ma-
jesty's Governificlli, anti au absolute disregard of
with in its resolutions. These are heavy charges.
To remain
.under them would on Our part
argue, o,t least, a want of tine regard to our own
characters individually., as well as that of the late
House. And to meet. these imputations, And to
confute them, by a very plain statement of the
plainest facts, constitutes the principal object of
this Address.

The President, after reciting at length Earl Ba-
thurst's dispatch to Govel nor Cameron of the 28th
of February last, lays, that " after the commit-
eication of,this dispatch, it was to be hoped that all
former differences would have ceased, and that the
House would have proceeded to
,t lie discharge of
the public business with temperance and modera-
tion ; instead of which, the Hoese, has been oc-
,cupied only in Resolutions and 'Acts, iacm reel in
polio of facts, unconstitutional in prior iple,
evilicing, in 'terms apparently of studied disrespect,
a total disregard to the cononands of the Crown,
signified out points distnictly submitted by the
House to the Royal judgment and decision."
Let its then inquire into the nature of those dif-
ferences, which his Honour appears to have ex-
pected would have been suddenly reconciled by
Lord Bathurst's dispatches. William ‘Vylly,
Esq. his *Majesty's Attorney• General, lay under a
strong suspicion of having slandered the House in
his correspondence with the African Institution ; a
suspicion cooliemed by a multitude of circumstances
which, at present, we Ilerla it Unnecessary to de-
tail. Here then was the first ground of differ-
ence. And how, let us ask. was it healed by those
dispatches, approving in little else than mere ge-
neral terms of the conduct of Mr. lVylly and
others ? Is it meant to be said, that Lord B. ap-
proved of Mr. Wylly's having misrepresented the
'proceedings of the [louse to Mr. IVilberforce ?
And if not, how could the dispatches in any man-
ner apply to the only point actually so far in
quest ion.
The next subject of difference arose from an in-
solent note of Mr. Wylly's to a Committee of the
House, refusing ID attend them or cotnmuni-
cate with them, and haughtily denying the autho-
rity of the House to question his conduct. Did
Lord B. mean to approve of. Mr. Wylly's inso-
lence, his haughtiness, or his refusal to recognise
one of the most unequivocal Powers of the highest
Inquest of the Colony ?
Again Mr. tt'ylly, in the General Court, about
18 months ago, publicly accused the House of
squandering thousands of the Ktug's money an-
nually, in jobbing, avid favourite tradesmen ; de-
clared that not a ratan in the [louse knew what
the law of Parliament meant, and even deseem!ed
so low as to call thestnembers nuntsculls and
blockheads. Did Lord B. mean to say that, he
highly approved of all this slander and vulgar
abuse ? It is true that his Lordship appeals to have
approved of Mr. Wylly's resistance to what his
Lordship is pleased to call an illegal warrant of
the House. Aud Chat resistance certainly fur-
nishes one material point, among the differences
alluded to. But wit'y the warrant in question was
illegal we were not satisfactorily informed, until
his Honour the President, ie his abovementioned
speech, favours us with the reason. Mr. kl7ylly,
as he says, was '" imprisoned for a justifiable re-
sistance to an illegal warrant, for." he empliali-
eally adds, " 1 must ever maintain that a warrant
under which a perSoll Is committed in execution
before lie is heard in his defence, is, according to
the principles of the British Constitution, illegal
and void, from whatever authority it may ema-
nate." His Honour may, to a Certain extent, pos-
sibly be correct in law ; but, in point of tact, he
is precisely the reverse, if he means that the war-
rant., which Mr. Wylly resisted by his armed Ne-
groes, was at all in the nature of a warrant to
commit hint in execution. That warrant was lit-
tle else than in the nature of a summons to bring
hint to the bar of the [louse, to answer for a con-
tempt. And it was his UlljUStitiable resistance to
the service of that warrant which induced thr.;
House to issue (as the Connuoos of England ANA
in the case of Sir F. Burdett) a warrant of arie:,,t,
combined with one of comtnitineut also. 1 he
Minutes of the Ilouse are open to the world ; and
to them we beg leave to refer for the correctness
of net. statement.

With respect to the inherent right of the Wouse
to commit persons guilty of contempts of its au•
dimity, and to protect itself front insult 41:thtle-
gradation, the Ltw upon a hat head, as re Lords the
1-louse of Commons, has been so compl,ettly settled
in the famous case of B•trdett v. Abhott (14th
Easts Reports) that We consider it unnecessary to
say more than that upon the plainem,A.neiples of
analogy, obviously deducible h om tiq4pinionot the
Judges of the King'3 IltAtch in ttkit :fel y cas`4 .1 he
same power in those re‘pects pre PC;gsVsted.by the

which he was committed 61 the late (louse of
As'ienibly, and discharged opun the. Osolutiou of

t!,

t.C.ting'.is here said either of rite du-ration
of bit imprisonment, orthe manner of his dis-
charge. -And an insinuation is evidently intended
that the House wished to punish the same pet son
twice for the same offence. For, taking his Ho-
nour's.own words as they are, what plain' reader
would ntrderstand them otherwise than thus—that
Mr. Wylly had been actually committed to prison
for the offence in question by a !miner House,
-and that be remnined so committed, until dis-
charged by a dissolution of the Assembly. Now
scarcely any proo‘ible state of the case can be more
decidedly opno,iie to the fact, than such an WI.
derstanding of bis Honour's winds. That Mr.
ly was committed to pri,oo is floe, but he
did not remain in prison moil a dissolution of the
Assembly ; he remained • there for about half an
'hour, when he was hailtd by the Justices of the
ijeneral Court, and his never since been in the
custody of the (twise or its Officers, or by its an-
thori,y in any mann( r whatever. Being under a
recognizance to the General Court, be might per-
-baps by a nii-serable legal fiction be considered as
its prisoner until discharged. -But it Would he
farcical, iNlien a man is at large mud at liberty to
c,o where be please_ s. to call that men a prisoner
committed in execution, for the artificial purpose
of raising .an -inference that he had been thereby
purged of his contempt. Neither is it -exactly
'trite that Mr. I%' 'fly was discharged even by the
:lodges, immediately upon the dissolution of the
As:cliff:ly. He was first bailed on the 23th of
January 'lBl7, from-Saturday to Monday the 27th,
On Monday he was again bailed to Thursday. and
on Thnrsdaylie was discharged by the Judges,
e-xactly three days after the dissolution of the As-
sembly; as by the Minutes of the General Court
itself more fully appears. Such is the accuracy
of a grave and delifi-ernte speech, which npbraids
the House of Assembly with being " incorrect in
point of facts," a chirge against us, of which it.
is to be added, that it rests solely on the :ab-
stract authority of the Pre,idellt himself, entirely
arnsupported by any specification, or the slightest
allusion to the particular point on which Our ve-
racity had been thus unwarrantably attacked. We
have carefully revised ell our few proceedings of
the last Session ; and we are most conscientiously
at a loss to discover on what possible ground so
ignominious an accusation could be raised against
us.

But even supposing that Mr. Wylly had suf-
fered sufficiently for the two offences for which
alone he was committed by the Assembly in Ja-
nuary 1817, namely, his misrepresentation of
their proceediogs, and the resistance of their war-
rant, let us now ask, did the catalogue of his of-
fences end there .? Did be afterwards offer no new
insult to the House ? and did be commit no fur-
ther contempt in defiance of its authority i his
Honour the President, who presided as Chief
Justiceoti the Bench cm the 25th of January last
year, subsegnent to the imprisonment of Mr.
iVylly, could, we preitime, 'from his recollection,
furnish sufficient evidence of the rhapsody of ‘'io-
lent abuse, contempt, menace, and even of scurri-
lity, towards the House, which Mr. Wylly thun-
dered into the astonished eats of their Honours
the Judges on that memorable occasion. And yet
because Mr. Wylly had previously been put just
inside of the jail door for a former offence for 20
or 30 minutes, it is now gravely contended that
lie thereby expiated not only his past, but all his
future crimes !

The plain state of the case is this
The' former House committed Mr, XV),lly for
the two offences just above mentioned, that is, of
scandalously misrepresenting its proceedings and
resisting its warrant. Mr. NV., when arrested, whs
accompanied by his son, an attorney of the Ge-
neral Court, through whose means a Habeas Cor-
pus was obtained, as migl►t naturally be supposed,
with•as little delay as possible. The Habeas Cor-
pus was returned in open Court, the three Judges
being then on the Bench. There the prisoner,
with a furious harangue, couched in language in
which we must be excused from following him,
stormed against the House, and starred his rage
to betray him into the tnost offensive extra-
vagancits. This last contempt it was not pos-
sible for the former House to notice ; • for
the Assembly was dissolved before the Speaker
bad time to issue a fresh warrant, which the
liouse had ordered.

Here then clearly was a new offence unexpiared,
And altogether unpunished by the House against
which it was directed. And for this new offence
the late House, for the first tinie, instituted pro-
iTedings against the offender. What then becomes
of the principle raised by his Honour, on the sop-
posed absence of Parliamentary precedents ex-
actly in point, that a person actually committed
by one [louse cannot, after a dissolution, be again
committed by another for the saute offence ? or
rather how does this speculative opinion apply to
an offence for which the offender never had been
previously provided against in any !intoner what-
soever "[here was also another new offence, for
-which the late [loose intended to hold Mr. kVylly
responsible; namely, writing to a COalalit tee of
the Home the insolent letter already mentioned.
And on this also no proceedings had been insti.
'met! by the former House. And when a House
against which a contempt is committed has not
actually instituted proceedings, and still more par-
ticularly when the offended Honse has, by a pre-
mature dissohlti,,n or otherwise, been pre...ented
from proceeding against offending parties, it will
not, we preStlllse, be pretended that a subssequent
House of Colllmotts has never commenced pro-
ceedings against them. A volume of Pat liamenr-
ary cases decidedly opposed to any such preten-
sion, we pledge ourselves to produce if necessary.
The next crime laid to the charge of the late
}louse of Assembly is the " oppression of au in-
dividual," meaning of course Mr. Wylly. And
Here we trust we may be permitted to say, that
had the House condemned its ptisoner for six
months to a dungeon, his Honour's language would
Lave been better suited tOtheoccasion. Lest, there-
fore, our Constituents might, from so serious a de-.
nunciation, be deceived es totlie mass of cruelty ex-
ercised by the Housv on this oppressed Gentlemen,
Ave beg leave to infot m them that those crnelties
extended no further than simply to summon him
to the Bar of the House at 11 o'clock of the very
forenoon on which, in older that his attendance
;night be dispensed with, his Honour was pleased
to prorogue the A.lsanbly. Neither was the sum-

osnns Intemwerately nr hastily thrust upon Mr•
Wylly. It was peaceably erred upon him three
or four days before. The necessity of attending
at the har of a House which he had so eon-
templutous!y insulted, might indeed have oppress-
ed the pride-of Mr. Wylly, but we are pet suaded
that our Constituents, on a calm review of this
proceedinifof the House, which if culpable at
all, can he considered so Only from its lenity, will
agree with us,' that it did not fairly call for such
,:e,erity of Animadversion from his Honour, and
still less funds!) an adequtate reason for the Serious
interruption of all public proceedings to which it
appears to have given occasion.
Froill what sort of evidence or of -feeling his
Honour was provoked to the suspicion that the
House had predetermined on some eventual net
Of oppression or injustice towards Mr. Wylly, we
do• oot presume to surmise. But for ourselves
we must say, that no such predetermination ex-
isted on our part. Long-cherished resentments
are not among the prontineot failings of popular
bodies. Had Mr.. Wylly appeared at the Bar of
the House, and there conducted hims'elf as we had
reason to expect, it is questionable whether he
would not have left the lionse as moch at liberty
:as he entered it. And even should the House
have felt itself eompelled to resort to coercive
measures, any restraint imposed on Mr. Wyllv's
pe.rson would not have extended fire minutes be-.
yond what might be absolutely necessary. to re-
establish practically those important and indepeed-
ent rights of the Honse, which hachbeen strangely
questioned before heJustices of the General Court ,
and jeopordized by their -proceedings. Such was the
fixed seniitnent and determination of its all. If Mr.
W.had been again committed, experience had given
the House a lesson which would have enabled it to
exclude even the shadow of a right of interference
on the part of the Judges. And we do most
solemnly,declare to our Constituents and to the
World, that we entertain the nto,t lively con-
viction; if the House had not been prorogued dial
very forenoon, that possibly before the clock
struck twelve, and almost certainly before it
should have struck three, the difficulties of the
Country would have been at an end.
Under such circumstances we confess we are.
altnoit uncharitable enough to suspect, drat-the
object of our opponents was not Peace, butt
Victory ; or at least that they had but little relish.
for the blessings of restored Tranquillity, unless
seasoned with the sweets of Triumph
It is, in tact, a remarkable feature in the cha-
racter of these transactions, that -although
parties have loudly affected to deprecate the pro-
longation of our present difficulties, it is 011 the
pat t of the House alone that any efforts have been
made to terminate them, unless those may be
considered as of towards a reconciliation,
which, under the auspices of high sisunding-natties,
and with lofty threats, have uniformly demanded
of the Housean unqualified submission on eye/ y
point in dispute. All mutual accommodation of
differences has. ever been treated with (littlish);
except an accommodation by which the House
was to give up all, and take nothing. •

But if his Honour the President was so turtle-
cessarily alarmed for the personal liberty of Mr.
\l'y how infinitely more exquisite do his lean
appear to be when he touches upon the dangers
of the General Court also, in the following
words :—" The ActS, Resolutions, Proceedings-
and Temper of-the House lead directly to re-
newed and increased cOntentionstetween the au-
thority of the Assembly and the Judges of the
General Court ; I feel' it therefore necessary, in
order to preserve the public peace, to protect'frOm
violence . persons declared by the
_ judgment of the
Crown, upon the complaint-of the House, to he
guilty of. no offence whatsoever, and, to prevent
(it possilde) a fatal interruption to all public
proceeding's,
,to resort to a power constitutionally
vested in me as his Majesty's Representative, Btc;'!
Here we arc plainly informed that one object of
the prorogation was to preserve the public peace
and protect the Judges from violence. Our
Readers perhaps will be inclined toy smile, when we
inform them, as the fact stands recorded on the
Minutes of the late. House, that the only measure
of
,the 1-louse which possibly could have given oc-
casion to those dreadful apprehensions on the part
of his Honour, was ordering the Clerk of the
Crown to lay before the House a copy Of the pro-
ceedings of the Court on Mr. W.'s Habeas
Corpus in January 1817. Was it a necessary
consequence, that the proceedings of that Court,
if produced to the' House, must have at once pro-
voked a breach' of the peace, or that we could
not even hear them read without immediately
laying violent hands upon the Judges ? or would
it be too numb to sae, when a General Assembly
of the Colony is Clots hastily dissolved for no
better reasons than those given, that his Honour
must have a feeling for something more than the
Dignity of the Crown or the Liberty of the Sish-
ject ; and that, in the exercise of the Royal Pre-
rogative as Commander-in-Chief, he could not al-
together divest himself of the sensibilities of the
Chief Justice ?

But there is still another Charge, and one of
no small moment, brought against the late House,
which, as Subjects sincerely attached to the trite
prioeiplei of the British Constitution, and as the
Representatives of the People, never beore ac-
cused of " 1 total disregard to the commands of
the Crown," we must in duty to onr Con-
stituents, and justification of wirselves, repel.—
When the Assembly was dissolved in January last
year, the Governor appears to have communicated
that event by letter to Earl Bathurst : and his
Excellency afterwards was pleased to ley before
the late House his Lordship's dispatch in answer.
But the letter to which that dispatch was an answer
was never cornmunicata=d to the 1 _- I_ouse. And we,
being thus made acquainted only t% ith a y
of the correspondence, and, of course, unable to
say on what statements his Lordship had tinder-
taken to decide, did not immediately acquiesce in
his Lordship's doctrines. Neither were we alto-
gether prepared to respect the sentiments of ti
single Minister as being the real " commands of
the (.;town," without further touching npon the
constitutional question, how- far even the Crown
itself would interfere w;th matters in immediate
connection with tlie privileges of Parliament.
The lute House dull addressed, not Lot.d
thurst, but the Prince Reg,nt in Council, on tile
subject of our grieVIMCCS. And the House te-

(pieftei
,Excvlienry tlic:Goverivlr, to tr4nsmit
it Nerordngiv. It is not a little remarkable that
his :Excellency, in answer to our Message, with
more meaning (as it has since appeared) than we
were then aware of, quaintly informed the Honse
that its Address wonld, "by an early opportu-
nity be forwarded to Lord lilthuro " \V
cordingly forwarded 10 his Lordshili; but from
any thing which we have yet ascertained, it never
travelled farther.

All 'communications to the louse i 1 6ni the
King or Prince Regent in Council had heretofore
been formally accompanied with a detailed attes-
tation of the time, place, and evety circumstance
properly appurtenant to the Royal Mandate. But
in answer to the late Address of the [loose, what
ha.ve we had, lint another letter from Downin,-
street, containing, as `might be expreted, little
else tban a vague repetition of the -former Dis-
patch, and entirely unatithenticated as being,
what the house humbly hoped for, an answer
from the Sovereign in Council. It is true that
in this last letter from Downing-street, as in all
other. of the same kind, his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent's name tied, as a matter of
coorcw, on the Alinister's responsibility ; hut we
HIV not quite so young in knOlNledge AS
not to know that this is a mere fietion of State,
and dues not in reality amount to any evidence
that the matter was ever actually submitted to
the consideration of his ltiyal Highness, and still
less that the Right llononrouble his Majesty's
Privy Council had ever been considted on the
subject. And beca-use the late lionse of Assembly,
did not, in the opinion of his Honour the Presi-
dent, pay implicit deference to the injunctions,
which he is pleased to suppose were contained in
the last mentioned di,parcli, the Representatives
of as loyal a Colony as any within the wide range
of his Majesty's dominions, have been accused not
perhaps of abs,dute treason, but of sentiments and
conduct altogether inconsistent with their duty to
the CroWn.

But however we may have been disposed to
forgive injuries even of the above at na-
ture, the House was not so lot to a sense of its duty
:.:Is't() stoop to-unbecoming htimiliations, compro-
mising either its own dignify,' or b,traying the
PeOple of the Bahamas, who entrusted it w.ith the
guaidianship of their Constitutional Rights. One
iu particular, the House never did, and we
trust 'no future House Will ever, abandon, that is,
its independence of the Judges of the General
Court, in matters of. privilege, upon the same
footing as. the Laws of Parliament place the House
of Commons with respect to the Courts of West-
minster-Hall.

The rights for which the Howie of Assembly
has cOntentled, and in deter-ice of which it has
now been twice. dissolved, are; fact, the inde-
feasible rights Which are
.enjoyed by ail free
tish subjects at home, hrunOi their Reprec'enta-
rives in Parliament ; anti ought. to he enjoyed in
like manner by all tree British subjects in the-CO-
lonics. We can acknovelApt tin essential dis-
tinction to exist between t hZ2.13 i.ll manners of na-
ifttrat birthright.
Dismissing, therefore, from our breasts t.ll vin-
dictive ferlfiqfs-f4 the'past, and Niug wil!;.ng, as
tar as possible, to dismiss from our alindsas,per-
sonal recollections unfriendly to future re-
cotteiliatinn, should it please our late con-
stituents ,to again !thaw us respectively in
the same seats as before, we shall 6,ear-
fully resume the exercise of our appointed Fnuc-
tions ; but it will be. with the same determina-
lion as hitherto, not to surrender the Indopeud•
ence or necessary privileges of the House ; but so
far as may be in our putter to maintain and pro-
. mote the true interests of the conntry.
