MARRYING UNDER t'ALSE LOLOURS.—Duti
cotr,e of last week, Janes Laurie, tobacco-ripe'niaker,.
and Mary tittle, both residing in Glasgow, were accused--
of fraud and imposition, in so far as they had induced a
elergiman to marry them, by assuming the name an] cha-
racter of a pecton whose banns of nrariage bad formerly
be,,n prec!ain:ed. It appears that Mary Huie,
having contracted a matrimonial 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, mbsequeotly drew up with
Jams Laurie; and representing themselves as the parties
described in the proclamation, thi-y obtained certificates,
from the session-clerk of the parish, on the authority of
*Heil they were married by Principal Macratia.t. 3•
proof having been taken, the charge of falsehood 'and im-
posture was established, and the parties sen enced to pay-
a tine of ore guinea each ; failing which, to be imprisoned
for ten days.

FORGERY OP BANK or ENGLAND NorEs.—A dis-
c() ery of forged Bank of England cotes has been made.
Tat notes discovered to be forgeries are all for £lOO, and
all of them, it seems, are dated the 6th December, 1843,
anti one marked with the letters Y above E, although
their nuna'ters are different, as if they formed part of a
series. The paper on eltich they are printed distinguishes
this from all similar attempts that have been known for
many year s. In the ordinary forgeries of £5 notes, the-
water-mark has been copied on a wooden block; suffi-
ciently like the nrclinrry water-marke to deceive tl'e un--
' pract'sed eye, and has been made on the false note by intense
pressure. In these £101) notes, on the other hand, there
is a real water-mark, Such as could only have been ob-
tain( d by manufacturing paper expressly for that purpose.
The notes are such excellent imitations, that none bat ex-
perienced inspectors of the Bank of England could detect
the forgery, and even those only by the most careful CS-
amination. As far as can be learned at present, it seems-
that the perpetrators of the fraud selected the fcreign-•.
Bourses es the paces where they should nice circulation
to their f)rge:ies. The notes already discovered have
come from Belgiuni.anel Antwerp.
Tree 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
p snaking of tie vagueness of the subject ; which is-ad-
witted to be incapable of very distinct e:etinition. The
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 t-glectecl
truth, that man is the masterpiece of the creation, and
that for bhp 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-creature 3
cots 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 cEsses are their channel, asnedifithhrelem.ss:taryndthneei_ri
most rightful recipicn's.
gligence are sins against this Divine dispensation., Wealth.
in the midst of misery, literature dwelling conteutedly 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 Wets in the sight
of Heaven, and make a naiin old—old in weukness, old
in 'nisei y, and old in crime,"
Be MARRIED OR DE PINED.-00 Saturday a girl dip-
plied to the magistrates at the grand jury-room, Carlisle,
for an order of maintenance for an illegitimate child.
111a2istrate.—Did its father ever premise to marry you ?
Applicant.—Yes, Sir; many and many a time, I do assure-.
you. Magistrate (-o the father.)—Well, Sir, what have
you to say to this, el) ? The fatber.—Why, Sir,. I nobbutee.
made her a half promise, like. Magistrate.—Oh ! half a
promise only, eh ? Then will you marry her now The •
Father.—Yes, I will—there now. Magistrete
mother of the girl.)—Well, old woman, wid you evosente
to the wedding ? Mother.—Why, yes, Sir, if he'll 'pro.-
rnise to make her a good husband. Magistrate.—But we
can't promise that, yon know, she must take her chance, ,
"for tauter for worse," Eke all of us. Mother.—Very
well, Sir, Fse agreeable. Magistrate (to the father.)—
Now, Sir, you must pay 18s. Gel. costs, or marry the girle
Father.—But, your worship, I 'latent a shiver to pay.—
M sgis.rete.—Then marry the girl and you shall be quits
Father.—It's varra 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 he consented
to buckle up, and the parties left the court.— TrAifeherven.,

CUR %MLITT' OF INSANITY.—There cannot be a more -
mistaken notion, or one more calculated to lead to wore
miachievoas results, than that in the, majority of the cases
of insanity the pa Tent is placed beyoncl the reach of re-
medial measures. At one time few had the coura oto
avow that insanity was at all a curable disease. gTh'
