LeatlLATtys IlLytuntstse—ln the n Marriage
Act, which hAstuidergoae such lengthened and an:join
discussions in both Houses, there is the followiug pas,
sage—L." And in such case.both parties shall make oath
that the person or persons whose consent shall be re.
quired by law to the marriage of such parties huts
been given ;"—i.e. that the person or persons has
been given! The framer, of conrse, means the cor.
L sent of such person or persons, but he gets it enacted
that" the person or persons" shall be given! But there
is another enactment truly marvellous : " And be it
further enacted," says the amended Bill, "Thu
such banns shall not be published until the trite
Christian and surnames of the said persens, and the
house or houses of their respective abodes, shall be
affixed on the principal door of • the Church or
Chapel ! and in some conspicuous place withia
he slid Church or •Chapell" Parliament is om.
nipotent, truly, but how a house could be stuck
on a Church door is a problem that rem;:in
be solved! The difficulty, we apprehend, is inc:c.4ed
when two houses are.to be stuck on the said d,,,r!
—But we must say, with reverence, that their
ships intend to carry their omnipotence to the higheq
pitch, when they enact that the same house or hou•es
;must be stuck on the Church door, and also placed :a
some conspicuous place within the. said Church !

STRONG WATER.--A sailor, not long ago, gnizz
into a grog-shop, at Waterford, called for a glass ci
grog. The rum and water were at once placed i:e.
tore him, and he mixed them secundum artem. A: te:
taking the first sup, he called for an additional I:l.iss
of rum. It was brought, and thrown into the glass;
but on tasting this he burst out a laughing. "1t by
boy," said he, " your Waterford water is right
" 0 yes, Sir," replied the altendant, " it is counted
as good as any in Ireland." " Aye" said the tar, "
d—d strong too ! for, all the world over. I have he.lisi
that one rum takes three waters ; but your water is so
stout, that one water takes three rums !"
