The young man answered, rather impatiently, that he under-
stood the Act allowed the parties to make the affidavit before
any Magistrate.
The Alderman said it was very singular.
On referring to the Act, it was found that it did allow the
parties to go before whatever Magistrate they pleased, and the
affidavit of the couple was read by the Chief Clerk, when he im-
mediately detected an error: it slid not state how long they had
lived in the parish where they new resided.
Sir R. C. Give asked whether there were not printed forms
prepared to facilitate such matters, to be filled up by the parties?
Mr. Payne repUd, none had. yet been prepared at that Office.
The worthy Alderman then handed the affidavit back to the
young.man, and told him he must get another prepared.
The intended bridegroom tore the affidavit to pieces in a fu-
rious manner, and then putting on his hat, which he slapped.
down upon his head, marched out of the Office, leading away
the fair candidate for matrimony.
The by-standers laughed at them, but the worthy Magistrate
received them with great urbanity.
Woestur-Sesarr.--Janws Latvia was brought in by Knel-
ler, one of the officers belonging to the Mendicity Society, who
said he found him begging in Crown-street, Finsbury-square.
MA CILSTRATE—" HOW do you get your living, Sir ?"
Prisoner—" By singing, your Worship."..
Alactsraays—" By singing what—psalms or ballads?"
Prisoner—" By singing ballads, your Worship'; I have lest
the use of one arm, and am unable to get my bieadin any other
way; I doesn't refuse a gift if it's offered me."
The Maotrraers told the prisoner, that going about the
streets seeking to. excite the commiseration of the Public, under
any form whatever, was a fraud, and in the eye of the law con-
stituted begging, and was merely a trick, a repetition of which
would subject him to be sent to jail—that if he was in distress,
he should apply to the parish.—He was then discharged.
MA RLIOROUGII.STR mr.—Yesterday, Alexander and Solomon,
charged with being concerned in the robbery of the shop of
Mr. Westwood, of Prince's street, Soho, were brought up for
reexamination, when the following fresh evidence was adduced:
Mr. Westwood identified the pins now produced as his property.
Mr. Cope, a working jeweller, who works for Mr. Westwood,
stated, that he saw the pins in the window of Mr. Green, silver-
smith, in Oxford-street, which he -positively swore to, particu-
larly two of a curious make, which he sok' to Mr. Westwood.
Mr. Green stated, that he bought the pins of Alexander about
four or five weeks since, not suspecting they were stolen. Alex-
ander was acquitted, when he stated that Solomon, whom he
had often dealings with, came into his shop about five weeks
since, and said, " I have some pins fen sale which will just suit
you ;" upon which be bought them, and in a short time after-
wards sold them to Mr. Green, with whom he often dealt.
On Solomon being asked what he had to say in his defence, he
reified, " Nothing;" when it was thought proper to remand him
in consequence of the absence of his Counsel. Solomon appeared
much agitated at the finish of the examination, and was taken
out of the Office quite senseless.
M.say-Le-Botise °rms.—Yesterday, five Iliberni:.ns were
brought up in custody, and charged before EDMUND Gammas,
Esq. with creating a desperate uproar and confusion, and also
with being concerned in a determined affray on the preceding
evening —lt appeared from the evidence produced, that on Mon-
day evening some Irishmen and others were drinking freely in
the Waterloo Arms public-house, in High-street, and on a sud-
den some words arose, and blows were exchanged, oral; in a very
short period, what is denominated a general " row" took place,
when the landlord and his family were almost overpowered ; the
affray was continued with terrible viblence within the house, and
almost every weapon or missile was raised with a hostile intro-
AlllOVg the party who was injured was a man named
Carey, whose skull was split open by a blow of a quart pot, others
were severely beaten; at length, it being found necessary to send
for the police, Williams and Partridge arrived, and sUcceeded in
securing four of the prisoners who were most desperately en..
gaged in the fight ; the other prisoner 'Lines, and who was con-
sidered the leader, fought his way out, and made a most des-
perate running fight into the New Mary-la-Bonne Park, where
he ascended some new buildings, of very great altitude, and
there threatened and defied everybody to take him ; he had
placed himself on a scaffold surrounded with bricks, which he
swore he would hurl on any one who attempted to follow him ;
his situation, manners, and threats,intimidated every person,and
the crowd who had assembled very quickly commenced a re-
treat, when Buckeridge, another officer belonging to tlae establish-
ment, stepped forward, accompanied by a man named Norris, and
ascended the ladder after the fellow, who attempted to throw it
down. The officer, however. finally succeeded in securing the
prisoner.—lt being intimated to the Magistrate that the man
who had received the blow from the pot, was in an extremely
dangerous state, and all the prisoners having been identified, they
were remanded for another examination. •

- At the Preston Guild, last week, some pickpockets
were detected in the apartment where they lodged,
from which they made their retreat from the window,
leaving behind their portmanteau, containing wearing
apparel and a quantity of Bank notes.
Townsend, Sayers, Vickery, and Bishop, the officers
of Bow-street appointed by the. Chief Magistrate, Sir
RICHARD BIRNIE, to attend the Court during the
Kirzo's sojourn in his Scottish dominions, landed at
Deptford on Friday evening, having► in their charge
a large quantity of his MAJzsyst's plate, Scr. and on
Monday morning the vete' an Townsend waited upon
Sir RICHARD BIIINIE with a number of letters ad-
dressed td his Worship by the LORD Pnovosv, and
the other Authorities of Edinburgh, thanking him for
his attention in selecting such officers, and- bearing
high testimony to their ceal and ability.

The Eleventh Annual Report of the NATIONAL
Socirry for promoting the Education of the Poor in
the principles of the Established Church is printed.
At p. 12, the Report says—lt is matter of satisfac•
tion to state that more numerous and exact returns
from the several schools united, have been received
this year, than in any former year. In estimating,
however, the number of children receiving education
in the whole of the National Schools, they are 'still
obliged tp proceed in some mea,ure on conjecture*
but forming their calculation on the best information
they are able to collect, they deem themselves fully
authorized in claitoinA an increase of about 12,000
children in the present year, and 'in stating the total
number of children in ;he National Schools at nearly
250,000; and these, it must be remembered, are the
children in schools actually united, in addition to the
numbers training in schools formed essentially on
the principles of the National Society, but not actually
received into union.

The Committee (the Report proceeds to.state) have
received 1., T.l-rictilar accounts from the National
Schools esu )::,..ted in the foreign Dependencies, with
the exception of two places, the Presidency of 80111.
bay and New Brunswick.
At the former place, the cause of National Educa•
Lion appears to be supported with great spirit, under
the sanction and patronage of the highest authorities.
There is a Central School at Bombay ; three other
schools in whicl4 Christians and Natives are received ;
tour schools for Natives only; and schools, in addi.
tion to these, in each of the several egiments there sta-
tioned, the total number of scholars in these several
schools amounted, by the last Report, to 1023.
The Report adds, the Committee proceed to render
an account of the grants of money which they have
made in the course of the year, to assist in the erec-
tion
of schools in different parts of the kingdom.
These grants are 39 in number and the sum expended
in them amounts to £3,425.
In conclusion, the Report observes, that the bene-
fits which as the accounts from all parts of the king-
dom continue uniformly to state, are not only most
manifest in the improved conduct of the children,
but ate also very generally perceptible in the more
orderly and decent habits of the parents. The Com-
mittee ate well aware that, under the existing pres-
sure of the times, any great increase in the funds des.
tined for the support of National Schools is not to be
expected : but they anxiously trust, as this system has
`now established itself in the kingdom on so firm and
broad a foundation, every possible exertion will be
made, at least to prevent its being impaired in any
single instance, and to maintain it in that state of
efficiency and pre-eminence to which it has now so
happily been raised.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Cricketers'
Tavern, near Ratcliff Highway, on the body of W.
Wayling, who was supposed to have died from in-
juries received from one Peter Doran, now in cued
tody. The surgeon who opened the body said, death
was caused by the enlargement of the liver and flux
of t% ater on the stomach. The ribs did not appear
to have been broken.—J. Ward stated, that he saw
the fight, and heard the deceased's ribs crack. His
head also bled, and he appeared moth hurt.—The
Coroner summed up, that there were marks of ih-
! jaries on the body, and no doubt they h: ad accele-
:rated Wayling's death. He however advied, under
the circumstances"; a verdict of Manslauglster ; which
thedury accordingly found, and Doran was committed.<
Monday evening, us some boys were playing.in
the Kensington road, a person came by on horseback,
and not observing them, one.was accidentally knocked
down by the horse. The animal's foot struck him a
violent kick on the side of the heat!, and though he •
was instantly carried into a public..house, where every
means were used for his recovery, he died in less than
I an hour afterwards.

The colleagues of the late Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY have paid him a higher compliment than they
probably intended, by the embarrassment and uneasi-
ness they have exhibited since his death. Had the
event taken place during the Session of Parliament,
they could scarcely have exhibited a greater con-
sciousness or the weakness 'to which the Administra-
tion was reduced by the loss of a Nobleman, who,
when living, they would scarcely have acknowledged
as it main support. It swas not, however, in conduct-
ing the mere details of office that Ministers felt at a
loss : these can always be very well managed, and, in-
deed, are managed by Under Secretaries and Clerks;
bubit was in Parliament Ministers felt :heir weakness.
They recollect that, last Session, notwithstanding they
had Lord LONDONDERRY and Mr. CANNING in their
ranks, yet they were driven from measures they de-
clared indispensable, and to measures which they had
assured us, in the early part of the Session, would be
ruinous. They therefore looked forward with dread
to the meeting of Parliament, however distant, and
saw but one expedient—that of preventing Mr.CAN-
NINO from going out to India, by offering him a dis-
tinguished place in the Cabinet—an offer which he
has agreed to accept, and will reoive an immediate
appointment.

This forenoon Bayonne Papers to the 4th instant,
bringing intelligence from Madrid to the Ist, have
been received. All is still tranq►iil in the Spanish
capital. A pamphlet has recently appeared there
"on the Bourbons," which heaps every species of
abuse o 1 the family. The new Ministry enjoys great
esteem, though complaints are made against its
apathy. Several Ecclesiastics, of the highest rank,
have been banished, and it is thought the Govern-
ment will not stop here, being resolved to consoli-
date the new system, and to put down its enemies.
P►eparations were making at Madrid to receive
the Infanta of Portugal, who was daily expected.-
I.lE.ssrEaEs, the Frenchman who commanded the
troops•of the Trappist in the affair of Ayerbe, is dead
