MARRYING UNDER FALSE t,oLourts.—Duri ig the
course of last week, James Laurie, tobacco-pipe maker,
and Mary II uie, both residing in Glasgow, were accused
of fraud and imposition, in so far as they had induced a
clergyman to marry them, by assuming the name and cha-
racter of a person whose banns of marriage bad formerly
be.:n lawfully proclaimed. It appears that Mary Huie,
having contracte,l a rmarimonial engagement with one
John Dixon, slater. their banns of marriage were pro-
claimed in the usual manner. The bride, however, for
causes which do not appear, subsequently drew up with
James Laurie; and representing themselves as the parties
desctibed in the proclamation, they obtained certificate*
from the session-clerk of the parish, on the authority of
which they were married by Principal Macfarlan. A.
proof having been taken, the charge of falsehood and im-
posture was established, and the parties sen enced to pay
a tine of one guinea each ; failing which, to be imprisoned
for ten days.

FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.-4 dis-
co •ery of forged Bank of England notes has been made.
Toe notes discovered to be forgeries are all for £lOO, and
alt of them, it seems, are dated the 6th December, 1843,
and one marked with the letters Y above E, although
their numbers are different, as if they formed part of a
series. The paper on which they are printed distinguishes
this from all similar attempts that have been known for
many years. In the ordinary forgeries of £5 notes, the
water-mark has been copied on a wooden block, sum..
ciently like the ordinary water-mark, to deceive the un-
practised eye, and has been made on the false note by intense
11 pressure. In these £lOO notes, on the other hand, there
is a real water-mark, such as could only have been ob-
tained by
manufacturing paper expressly for that purpose.
The notes are such excellent imitations, that none but ex-
perienced inspectors of the Bank of England could‘detect
the forgery, and even those only by the most careful ex-
amination. As far as can be learned at present, it seems
that the perpetrators of the fraud selected the foreign
Bourses as the places where they should give circulation
to their forgeries. The notes already discovered have
come from Belgium and Antwerp.
TES CREED OF .` YOUNG ENGLAND."—The Times
endeavoured on Thursday to analyze the nature and value
of " Young England" as a political influence, in a paper
partaking of the vagneness of the subject; which is ad-
mitted to be incapable of very distinct exfinition. The
I result of the inquiry is thus summed up :—" If we might
resolve their recent acts into any one principle, we should
say it is an acknowledgement of the great but neglected
truth, that man is the masterpiece of the creation, and
that for him all earthly things are made and should be ad-
ministered. He is better than money, or house, or land,
or rank, or learning, or any work, or quality, or institu-
tion of men. As far as the bulk of our fellow-creatures
cross not partake of these, or of the benefits flowing from
them, so far are they a disgrace and a burden to the poss-
essors. The gifts of Heaven live and flow. Favoured
men and classes are their channel, and the many their
most rightful recipients. Monopoly, selfishness, and ne-
gligence are sins against this Divine dispensation. Wealth
in the midst of misery, literature dwelling contentedly by
the thick of ignorance, thousands of acres for the sole use
of one, while thousands never tread the native turf or
know the shade of a tree—these are all blots in the sight
of Heaven, and make a nation old—old in weakness, old
in misery, and old in crime."
BE MARRIED ott BE FINED.—On Saturday a girl ap-
plied to the magistrates at the grand jury-room, Carlisle,
for an order of maintenance for an illegitimate child.
Magistrate.—Did its father ever promise to marry you ?
Applicant. —Yes, Sir; many and many a time, I do assure
you. Magistrate (to the father.)—Well, Sir, what have
you to say to this, eh ? The father.—Why, Sir, I nobbut
made her a half promise, like. Magistrate.—Oh ! half a
promise only, eh ? Then will you it arry her now The
Father.—Yes, I will—there now. Magistrate (to the
mother of the girl.)—Well, old woman, will you consent
to the wedding ? Mother.—Why, yes, Sir, if he'll, pro-
mise to make her a good husband. Magistrate.—But we
can't promise that, you know, she must take her chance,
for better for worse," like all of us. Mother.—Very
well, Sir, I'se agreeable. Magistrate (to the father.)—
Now, Sir, you must pay 18s. 6d. costs, or marry the girl.
Father.— But, your worship, I hav'nt a stiver to pay.
Magiterate.—Tlien marry the girl and you shalt be quits
Father.—lt's v.irra hard, Sir, but I reckon I may
choose t' lesser evil—as t' man says in t' play " my po-
verty but not my will consents." With that lie consented
to buckle up, and the parties left the coin t.—N hiteharete
Herald.

CURABILITY or INSANITY.—There cannot be a more
mistaken notion, or one more calculated to lead to more
mischievous results, than that in the majority of the cases
of insanity the pa imt is placed beyond the reach Of re-
medial measures. At one time few had the courage to
avow that insanity was at all a curable disease. The
treatment to wiiiFn this unfortunate class was subjected
justified the belief in the incurability of the malady.

herd with lunatics labouring under all the stages of men-
tal derangement. No scientific course of treatment was
pursued ; and if the medical practitioner did attempt to
adouiolster to the " mind diseased " through the media of
the PhYs'e.il organization, It was under circumstances
Which prreuded the possibility of recovery. Our viegwrsotf
the pathology of the dise.ise ba%e undergone a ea
change. Insanity is now considered to be only a derange-
ment of the manifestations of the mind re,ulting from
corporeal disease, and t to as much amenable to medical
treatment as the disorders of other organic functions.
There are certainly case's insaniy as•ocia.ed with 'seri-
ous structural alterations in which the physician is baffled
iu his attempt to restore the ritint to Jnett,l health;
but even under these apparently hopeless circumstances,
the adoption of judicious measures, perseveringly and un-
e
interuptedly applied ac .01c.ing to th pa hological
tion of the nervous system. will be often followed by the
happiest results.—Dr. F. IVinTlote.
