MARRYING UNDLR t,OLUURS.—DUILg .ne
course of last week, James Laurie, tol:acco-pipe maker,
and Mary Huie, both residing in Glasg,w, were accused
of fraud and imposition, in so far as they had induced a
clergyman to marry them, by assuming the name aril cha-
racter of a person whose banns of marriage had formerly •
bean lawfully proclaimed. It appears that Mary Huie,
having contractei 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, subsequently drew up with
James Laurie; and representing themselves as the parties
deci ibed in the proclamation, they obtained certificates
from the session-clerk of the parish, on the authority of
which they were marriel by Principal Macfarlad.
proof having been taken, the charge of falsehood and im-
posture was established. and the parties sen enced to pay
a fine of one guinea each ; tailing which, to be imprisoned
for ten days.

FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.—A dig
--
CO ery of forced Bank of Englati., notes has been made.
Toe notes discovered to be forgeries are all for £lOO, and.
all of them, it seems, are dated the 6th December. 1843,
and one marked with the letters Y above E, although
their numliers are dlfferent, as if they formed part of a
series. The paper on winch 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, suffi-
ciently like the ordinary water-mark, to deceive the un-
practlsed eye, and has been made on the false note by intense
pressure. In these £lOO notes, on the other hand, there
is a real water-mark, such as could only have been oh-
thincd by manuf,cturinq 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 e/-
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 forteties. The notes already discovered have
1 come from Belgium and Antwerp.

TUE CREED OF "YOUNG ENGLAND."—The Times
endeavoured on Thurrday to analyze the nature and value
of " Young England" as a political influence, hi a paper
partaking of ti.e vagueness of the subject; which is ad-
mitted to be incapable of very ilistinet r:etinition. The
result or the inquiry is thus summed up If we might:
resolve their recent acts into any one principle, we shoultV
s,iy it is an acknowledgement of the great but ritglected
truth, that man is the masterpiece of the creation, and
that for him all earthly things are made and should be ad-
ntinistere.d. 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
cos 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 eLsses are their channel, and the many their
most rightful recipien's. Monopoly, selfishness, and ne-
gligence are sins against this Divine dispensation. Wealth
in the mid,t of mist ry, literature dwelling contentedly by
the thick of ignorance, thousands cf acres for the sole use
of one, while thousands never tread ihe native turf or
knew 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."
Ba MARRIED OR 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. Alagistr..ite (to the father.)—Wcll, Sir, what have
you to say to thi., eh ? The father.—Why, Sir, I nobbut •
made her a halt promise, like. Magistrate.—oh ! half a
promise only, eh ? Then will you marry 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 biter for worse," like all of us. Mother.—Very
well, Sir, I'se agreeable. Magistrate (to the father.)—
Now, Sir, you must pay 18s. 6d. costa, or merry the girl.
Father.—But, your worship, 1 hav'nt a stiver to pay.—
Magistrate.—Teen marry the girl and you shall be quits
Father.—lt'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 b:Alle up, and the parties left the court.—lf7tileharen

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