scorrisH MARRIAGES.

An English Gentleman expressing his surprise to an old Stotch
Magistrate at the facility with which marriage may be contracted
in Scotland, the latter answered, " we don't find when people
are determined to get together, that throwing impediments in the
way of marriage keeps them separate—they will only dispense with
marriage more frequently. You English are very fond of interfering
with everything, and, while you pretend to be a free people, you
have stick multitudes of petty regulations, that you can hardly
turn to the right or left without suffering from them. In Scotland
we leave people more to their own discretion, and we have no
cause to repent it. You do not find that more imprudent marriages
are contracted there than in England, because a marriage can be
made at any time, and in one minute. On the contrary, you will
find us much more cautious than you are respecting that knitter.
You will find also, the almost total absence of seductions effected
by promise of marriage, so frequent with you, for, in attempting to
deceive a young woman, the deceiver might deceive himself."
THE MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.

Friday, the ISth inst. this curious case was heard
for a third time before the Magistrates of the Head
Police Office, Dublin, pursuant to a summons, of
which the following is a copy. The summons is
founded upon the 12th of Geo. I. chap. 3 ;
44 POLICE DISTRICT OF DUBLIN, SEPT. io.

" Whereas complaint has been made before two of his Ma-
jesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Dublin, and two
Divisional Magistrates of Police, of said district, that a marriage
has been solemnized between Moses Heweton Pentland and
Mary DP Garry, an infest under the age of fourteen years, and
at which marriage you are charged and suspected of being pre-
sent—these are, therefore, in his Majesty's name, to wiU and re-
quire your personal appearance before us (the Magistrates) at the
aforesaid Office, to be examined and give evident, at the Office
aforesaid, and to be examined and give evidence on the premises,
as the law directs. " Signet by the Magistrates, &c.
To Mr. John Casey."

At two o'clock (the hour stated in the summons
for the attendance of the parties), Miss M'GA RRY and
friends, attended by Counsellor HUBAND, entered
'the Board-room ; on which some Gentlemen con-
rnected with the Newspapers made a respectful re-
quest to the Magistrates for permission to be present
at the examination, which was immediately acceded
to; and on their entering the Board-room, Alderman
DA RLEY politely assured the Gentlemen it was not
the wish of himself or brother Magistrates to exclude
them from the bearing.
Counsellor HUaAND said, that owthe last exami-
nation, in requesting to have it private, he was ac-
tuated solely by an anxiety for the preservatiOn .of
his young client's reputation.
Mr. WILDRIDGE (for Mr. Casey) said his client had,
not been served personally with the summons, and'
therefore considered himself not bound to appear.
The Magistrates declared, that in all uses, except
where the Act of Parliament says to the contrary,
service of summons must be personal.
Mr. HUBAND having concurred in opinion with:
the Magistrates, the case was accordingly dismissed,,
and a fresh summons issued; requiring the appear-
ance of Mr. Casey.

An information under the late Act to prevent Cruelty to
Animals was heard before tbe•Biaghttette at the Grand Jury
Chamber, Winchester. The am* was preferred by Mr. Fin,
of Littleton, manic Mr. Bnow, a Wain in as**. Parisi'.,.

• .It is impossible to describe the sensations excited by this race
in the spotting circles in London, Doncaster, and all parts of
the kingdom, previous to this event. The hopes of one party of
betters--thefearr of another squad—the doubts of a third—and
the numerous dose e events connected with Swap to the end of
the chapter. A thousand reports had aho got into existence re-
specting the great favourite Swap—first,;" that be could not .
win:" secondly, " that he hid not qualityenough belonging to
him to carry off the St: Leger stakes; and, lastly, a Mot Ae
must sot win if the Neeshlasixt people were eier to be seen any
more on the latter course as a host of betters." " What weheilee
for tie groom to make his fortune," was observed by an old file,
r
"if he understood management " No, no," cried a thorough
bred sportsman, " there is too much honour at Doncaster for
that sort of thing." It, however, has conic off right for the legs,

It's now hang-up in the stirrups, as to the receipts of lots
of blunt. Swap, the great favourite, not even placed, and
lost in the mob of horses, and only six to four against him on
unittlag. Fifty to one against the winner, and 90 to one against
the second horse. Theodore took the lead and kept it. •To a •
strpopc. the shootings, antics, and grimaces, displayed by the
characters interested on the race, on Theodore winning it, ap-
peared more like pSf DOM mad with joy than anything like ra-
clonal beings. Otte Gentleman on Saturday night last, at Don-
caster, betted 500 sovereigns to Ave against 'Theodore. Those
persons who took the field against Swap have done it nicer
'wenty-two horses started.

It is expected a good mill will take place in a day or two, as
Richmond, Turner, Josh. Hudson, Turn Reynolds (from Ire-
land), George Cooper (from Scotland), Tom Owen, and
Harry Sutton, were on the Course, in readiness for any custo-
mer that might offer himself. Reynolds has offered to tight any
man in England of his weight for 2.5 guineas.
