MARRIAGE: STazisylcs.—On the I4th day of December last
nearly six months ago, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, with a view to
ascertain the practical value of the new-fangled Marriage Act
for which the political dissenters and the self-styled liberals
clamoured so leng and so loudly, moved-for a return, Ist—of
the number anti names of places licensed for the celebration of
marriage under the new broomstick uct. 2d—For a return of
the number of marriages celebrated "other than according to
the rites and ceremonies of the established church," under the
broomstick act aforesaid; and 3,l—the number of marriages
celebrated according to the rites and ceremonies of the established
church within the bills of mortality. Why the return of the
church establishment marriages should be limited to those which
have been celebrated within the bills of mortality only, whilst
the return of the broomstick marriages takes in the whole of time
rest of England and Wales, we know not; but so it is; and nu
doubt so managed from a most liberal motive. However, taking
them as they are the following results appear :—The number of
places registered under the act as marrying shops, is 1,1:36; and
in these marrying shops, between the:3oth June and 31st Decem-
ber last, taking in the whole of England and Wales and in-
eluding the bills of mortality, there were 1,7-15 marriages only;
or about au average of one and a half, for each marriage shop ;
whilst the old-fashioned marriages of the established church
within the bills of mortality only amount to 5,108 by bans, and
911 by licence; making a total of 6,032 !—Morning Herald.
LAUNCH OF A "RADICAL."—SOMETHING OMINOUS.—On
Saturday evening last, a great number of persons assembled to
witness the launch of a fine schooner from the patent slip
at
Banks' yard, Boston. Soon alter eight o'clock she
started

amidst loud cheers and the firing of cannon, at the samei theinsexhibiting her name, the I" Radical," on a flag

withstanding the rough jokes that were flying about, a feeling
ot regret at the failure was generally expressed. They gave
the vessel a bad name, and hung it, which was radically wrong;
but had nothing of the kind occurred, it would have been one
of the most interesting launches ever seen in Boston, on account
of the very great distance she had to traverse before reaching
the water.—Roator Paper.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET. JUNE 7.
New Grass Butter is to be bought at 100 s. with a lair demand. The
make is abundant, which will tend to keep prices low.—No alteration
in Beef and Pork.—Bacon free sale at late quotations.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JVNR 5.
Since Tuesday last,we have had plenty of rain, and although easterly
winds have frequently prevailed, the weather has been, on the whole,
much more seasonable, and the appearance of the crops of Grain and
of Grass has materially improved, although the thinness of Wheat on
many farms in this and other districts, from loss of root, is reported to
be more evident and confirmed. The imports of Grain, Flour, and
Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastways have been again to a very
moderate extent, but the activity of the preceding week has subsided,
and the demand having become very languid throughout the past week,
sale • to a very small extent were made here at barely the prices last
quoted ; hut the holders generally chewing no aisposition to press
sales, no decline could be noted in the value of any article in the trade
here or in Manchester; and in the markets of Yorkshire and of Bir-
mingham an advance of 2s per qr was obtained on Wheat.—The ditty
on Wheat from Foreign ports is this week decreased Is per qr 74,1 peT
brl on Flour, and is 6d per qr on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat
and Rye. On Oats, Beans, and Peas no alteration.—The imports of
Wheat and Flour from Foreign ports are considerably increasing.,—At
this day's market a decline of about 2d per 701bs on Wheat, is per
2801bs on Flour, Id per 45Ibs on Ohts, and 6d per 2401hs on Oatmeal
was submitted to, 'and the transactions on those articles, and in all
kinds of Grain, were so small that quotations can hardly be given with
correctness ; a few sales of Flour, Oats, and Peas in bond have b• en
heal for exort but in bonded Wheat nothing has been done within
last three or, four days, and though purchases may now ne made
on lower terms, as the recent importers and holders do not press sales
at any reduction, the quotations below must be considered at present
quite 11Di-ulna'.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 4.
The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been somewhat larger
than that of last week, and the quality throughout very good,especially
a very few choice Beasts which were imported from Limerick, and
sold at exceedingly high prices We have also had a tolerably good
supply of Sheep and Lambs, and the quality pretty good, with a slight
reduction in price. The market may he considered a brisk one,
especially for Beef, there being many country buyers present, who
bought with spirit. The best Beef readily sold at I'd per lb, middling
61(1. varying from that down to fd, except for a very few coarse Bul:s,
which were eagerly bought up at 5,1 to :oldper lb, owing to the very
high price of good Beef. Good Wether Mutton may be quoted at 7d
per lb. middling 60, ordinary and Ewes 01, and principally all sold
up at the close of the market. Lambs were sold at about Ad per lb.
Number of Cattle at market—Beasts, 1033 ; Sheep and Lambs, n 493.
