MARRYING UNDER L'ALSE COLOURS.—DuII
courie of last week, James Laurie, tobacco-pipe maker,
and Mary tluie, both residing in Glasgow, were accused
of fraud and imposition, in so far as they had induced.a
cliA`gy man to marry Them, by assuming the name and cha-
racter of a person whose banns of marriage had formerly.
bean lawfully proclaimed. It appears that Mary Buie,
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, subsequently drew up with
James Laurie; and representing themselves as the parties
described in the proclamation, they olaained certificates
from the session-clerk of the parish, on the authority of
which they were married by Principal Macfarlain
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 ; failing which, to be imprisoned
for ten days.
FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.—A dis-
co cry of forged Bank of England notes has been made.
Tat; notes discovered to be forgeries are all for £lOO, and
all of them, it seems, are dated the 6th December, 1543,
and one marked with the letters Y above E, although
their num'iers are different, as if tLey formed part of a
series. The paper ou which they arc printed distinguishes
this from all similar attempts that have been known for
many years. In the ordinary forgeries of £5 notes, the •
water-inaik has been copied on a wooden block, suffi-
ciently like the ordinary water-mark, to deceive the un-
pract:sed 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 &s-
-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 ez-
arnination. 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.
THE CREED OF "YOUNG ENGLAND."—Th2 Times
endeavoured on Thnrsday to analyze the nature and value
of " Young England" as a political influence, in a paper
partaking of the vagueness of the subject; which is ad-
mitted to. be incapable of very diitinet 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 neglected
truth, that man is the masteipiece 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 rat*,
,or learning, or any work, or quality, or institu-
tion of men. As rar 1-A4 a our lel:ow-creatures
CO4S not partake of these, or of the benefits flowing flour • -
them, so far are they a disgrace aril a burden to the poss-
essors. The gifts of Heaven live anti flow. Favoured
men and cl,s,,es are their channel, and the many their
most rightful recipiews. Monopoly, selfishness, aud ne-
gligeno6 are sins against this Divine dispensation. Wealth
in the midst of misery, literature dwelling contentedly by
tee 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 thesight
of Heaven, and make a nation old—old in weakness, old
in misery, and old in crime."
BR 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 ?
Arplicant.—Yes, Sir ; many and many a time, Ido assure
you. s •
Magistr Aes (to the lither.)—Wel,•Sir, what have
you to say to this, ea ? The father.—Why, Sir, I nobbut
made her a half i•roinise, like. Magistrate.—Oh half a
promise only, eh ? Then will you warry 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 ? blether.—Why, yes, Sir, if he'll pro-
mise to make her a good husband. Magistrate.—But we
can't promise
forworse,"
that, yolike a 1
know, shetof

.Mother.—Very

well, Sir, I'se agreeable. Magistrate (to the father.)—
low, Sir, you must pay 184. 61 costs, or marry the girl.
bather.—But, your worship, 1 Lav'nt a sliver to pay.—
agiwrate.—Then marry the girl and you shall be quits
Father.—lt's varra hard, Sir, but I reckon I may
chdose 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. —White/misers
Herald.
CußanrnrrY OF INSANITY.—There cannot be a more
mistaken notion, or one more calculated to lead to more
misehievons results, than I bat in the majority attic cases •
of insanity the pa lent 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 which this unfortunate class was subjected-.
justified the belief in the incurability of the malady-
Directly a person exhibit, d indicatoos of a disordered
mind lie was hurried off to a madhouse, and compelled to
herd with luoatics labouring under all the :dirges of men-
tal derangement. No scientific course of treatment-was
pursued ; and if the medical practitioner did attempt to
ad moister to the " mind diseased " through the media 61
the pliys'c4l organization, it was under circumstances
which pia euded the possibility of recovery. Our views of
the pathology of the d'seese have undergone a great
change. Insanity is now cansidered to be only a derange-
ment of the manifestations of the mind resulting from.
corporeal diiease, and ti he as ttucli amenable to medical
treatment as the disorders of other organic functions-.
Theme are certainly MC:: o' insaniy as. ociesed with 'seri-
ous structural alterations in which the physician is baffled
in his attempt to restore the patictlt to Inentkd hea!th;
but even under these apparetitly hopeless circumstances,
the adoption ofjudiciou s measures, serseveringly,end on-
interupttAly applied ee ending to Lile holcg, at t.'
lion of the nervous system. will be often foiloaved by the
happiest results.—Dr. F. Inns/ow.
