GERMAN PATRIOTS.

We recollect that sdme years ago a subscription
was raised in this country for the Poles, when they
were resisting a powerful invasion. Before the money
was collected, Poland was subdued. We fear Ger-
' many will exhibit the same disastrous spectacle. The
example of Saxony will probably be followed by
those, who like the wretched King of that devoted
country,. have learned to hug their chains, and to
court a tokeign yoke. . .
We would wish to call the attention of our coun-
trymen to a mote glorious but a gloomy scene. We
wish to solicit their sympathy ior the gallant defen-
ders of this country's rights and honour, who' have
been wounded, and for the widows and orphans of
those who have died,. in a brave but unequal struggle
s_i.gainst the superior force of the American ships.—
The certainty that their fate occupies the attention,
and excites the gratitude of their country, would sti-
mulate our naval heroes with new ardour in the cause
of their country. We are authorized to engage that
subscription of £l5O will be produced from a small
literary society, for that patriotic object.

The names to the► Petitions to Parliament from the
town of Dum!ries tnd neighbourhood, in tavour of
religious toleration in India, amount to upwards of
3900 in number.

,According to a late decision of the House cf Lords,
it may sow be considered as finally established, that
by the Law of Scotland, as it at present stands, a
mere verbal declaration of marriage by the parties
themselves, deliberately made in the presence of wit-
nesses constitutes a valid marriage, provable by the
verbal testimony of the witnesses, without any writing
or any further testimony.
In the Court of Chancery, on Monday, Sir SAMUEL
RoMILLY moved before h!s Honour the VICE-Cll AN-
CELLOR, that the injunction granted by the LORD
CHANCELLOR in the case of Viscount and Viscountess
PERCEVAL V. PHIPPS, by which the defendant was
restrained from publishing certain letters written by
Lady PERCEVAL to Mr. MITCORD, should be dissolved;
on the ground that the Court had never interfered in
granting an injunction to prohibit the publication of
letters,unless on the ground of their being literary pro-
perty, •coming within the meaning of the Bth of Anne,
c. 29. • Mr.'l itzscovz followed at considerable length
on the same side.— Mr. HA RT resisted the application,
and contended,that theCout t had aright to interfere to
prevent the publication of any letters which might tend
to.inflict injury on the party who had written them.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment till
be should have attentively considered the plaintiff's
bill, and the answer of the defendant.

Yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas a cause
was tried, KEENE against the celebrated Many ANNE
CLARKE, for furnittne to the amount of LISO. The
plea of cove: cure was set up as a defence. The only
witness to prove the marriage, and that the husband,
Clarke, %VAS still alive, was ltiiary Favour, who said,.
that she had seen Clarke within the last six weeks.
On her cross-examination she said, she herself had
always gone by the name of Favour : she owned she
had been married, but cotlld not for a time remember
in what church. At length she said it was at Wool-
wich, and she was married by the name of Farquhar.
- tmination stood thus, and Mr. Serjeant BEST
the pint of giving up the defence as untena-
m one of the Jury said, that if he were not a
he could speak to the fact. He had himself
trke, the husband, within the last ten days:
toyed hint as a stone-mason. On this singular
trace a verdict was given for the defendant.
