GAME. LAWS.

Mr. DENMAN pre'ented n petition from several of
the Coach Owners and Mail Carriers of Londan, against
the Bill now in progress before the House, for legaliz
ing the Sale of flame. The (louse to whirl' the peti-
tioners objected moriparticularly, was that which oblige
ed coach-owners carrying thine, to in eke certain entries
respecting the same, ■nd subjecting their coaches to
inspection in cases of suspicion, and to penalties op.
on conviction of not having made the entries. Petition-
ers stated that the greatest inconvenience to the public
would arise from the proposed inspection of their
coaches, more particularly of the night coach....—
(Hear) The Hon. Member went on to say, that so
mach did he concur in the views of the petitioners, that
though be supported the second reading of the Bill, ;is
the beet measure Which had_bren proposed, yet if this
clause were kept in, be should give it all the opposition.:
in his power.
Mr. BERNAL said the arbitrary I),mi:ions of which'
the petitioners complained were not Vireo lured now
for the first time in this Bill, for they were to be fount
in many of the old time L tees. It was doe to the Noble
Lord who brought in the all, to mike Ibis statement.
He (Mr. B.) was decidedly opposed le such harsh mea-
sures as that of search.
Mr. BENNET said the enactments were of such a
nature that they would have died away if they hail not
hero revived by the Noble: Lord's Bill. He disapproved
of them entirely.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TIIURSDtT.
A Mr. Dent presented several papers relative to the
Great Sessions in Wales. They consisted of the number
of cases brought betweentthe years 1812 and 1823; the
number that had been tried; the number of attorneys
practising during that time; the num'ter of criminal
prosecutions that had been tried; and the number of bills
tiled in the Court of Chancery.
MARRI 108 BILL.

On the report of this Bill, some verbal amendments
were propose by Lord BEDESDA LE, and adopted.
Lord STOWELL proposed a clause to provide that in
case of a church or chapel being under repair so tbat Di-
vine Service could not he performed therein, it would be
lawful for the Minister to proclaim the banns of marriage
in some other convenient place within the parish, and
' also solemnize the marriage where the slid banns were
proclaimed.
Lord REDESDALE thought it ought to be in some
place where Divine Service was performed; and that the
clause should first authorize the performance tf Divine
Service in such place.
Lord LIVERPOOL said that if no service was per-
formed in the parish.. he could see no oljections to the
banns being proclaimed, and the marriage solemnized in
an adjoining parish.
Alice some farther remarks the clause was postponed.
Lord ELLEN BOROUGH proposed that all marriages
within the prohibited degree should not only be voidable,
but void eib initio. He wished to render null all marriages
that were prohibited by the laws of lion. There were two
or three degrees that were not prohibited by the law of
(lon, and he thought it would Ire advisable to make these
marriages void. As the law now stood, the marriages of
persons having ho property took place within the prohi-
bited degree ; he had beard of many such !laving taken
place; and he now proposed that all marriages prohibited
by the table published in the year 1563, should be null
and void.
This clause, after some remarks from Lord POWERS-
COURT, was agreed to.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished that the clause for
p,olaibiting clandestine marriages should apply to mar,
Lrages by banns, as well es by Itcense,because.the greater
number of these tnarriages took place by banns; an.l he
should propose that the same restriction should extend
to marriages by banns, al well, as by license.
The Earl of wEsTmoRLAsi) wished to call their
%Lordships' attention to the effect of this clause on the

MARKETS AND FAIRS.

At St. Leonard's (Horsham) Fair, on Monday se'nnight,
there was a large show of horned cattle, and a good atten-
dance. Rants were most wanted, and many found pur-
chasers at prices about the same as at former fairs, and
many were driven away unsold.
Hayward's Heath Swine Fair, the next day, presented a
large show of store pigs and porkers. which met rather a
brisk sale at from 4s. to 465. 6d. per stone; but what most
distinguished the fair was the fineness of the day, a cir-
cumstance the like of which, we are told, had not before
occurred within the last twenty years; on the contrary,
it seems, that the slap 96/bolding this fair had, for that
long term, uniformly-proved more or less rainy.
At Cross in Hand Fair oa Wednesday, there was a good
show of store cattle, principally rants, the best of which
were purchased pretty
.freely at prices 'that seemed to
satisfy the drovers ; but it was difficult to get rid of the
inferior sorts at any price; such were, of course, driven
away unsold. Lewes Beast Mark. ton Tuesday, was not
so fully supplied with Beef and Mutton as on the preceting
market day ; there were, however, of both sorts, enough
for the demand. The trade in Beef was dull ; but in
Mutton it was brisker. Prices about the same as last
quoted.
Hailsbans Market on Wednesday, exhibited but little
good Beef ; sod the supply of Mutton bring also short,
the best sold for full 4.5. Id. per stone.—Beef from 3s. to
3s. GI
At !Janda* Fair, on Wednesday last, cattle soli briskly
at a trifiingadvance in price. Pigs, on the following day,
sold well.
At Carmarthen holantirle Fair, on Friday lest,
there was hot an indifferent show of betels, and very litth
demanl. The prices obtained were a shade lower than in
June.

TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, I b 23.

STOCK EIfRkNOIC, TwicvsoTtmcx.—Consols opened this
morning for money at SIAM, end for the next Account t. In
the earlier part of the morning a good deal of business was
do'ng for the next Account, but little for the present tune.
No express is expected from Paris to day, as it could not
bring any account of the Pills Stock Exchange. In the mean
time, the article in the Etoile of Sunday appears to have had
some effect on the Foreign Market this morning, and has
lowered Spanish Bonds.

Although theVictuallingOlice has given notice for a contract
of 6,000 tierces of beef and pork for the Navy, it has not had
any effect on the Funds ; Consols remaining steady up to this
beer at the price above stated.
_ .

cORIBIGN MARKET.--Spanish Bonds opened at 271 to i;
but lowered to 26ifil, with little doiog, owing to the want
of information from the Continent.

New Spanish, 181.-01 d, 2611.—Colombia, 61 to 1.—
Russia, 114/I.—Old Prussia, 813 to BS. —New, 89.—ebi11,
60 to 67.—Poyais. 3.

Some of the panics interested in the Spanish Bonds,
appear yet to attach a degree of importance to the ques-
ties of whether they will or will not be acknowledged by
Ferdinand; and as far as his recognition would add to the
disposition to speculate in them, there might be en advan-
tage to the present holders. But those that are aware
of the present dilapidated finances of Spain, and remem•
bee that there is the same system restored which occa•
sioned the dilapidation, will hardly be disposed to venture
uponespeculations which require a confidence in two nullities
-"the honour of such a King as Ferdinand, and the pros•,
perm's administration of the finances of a cruel and bigot•
ted tyrant. The loans assuredly would not be recognized
but as the only means of obtaining another. The want of
money alone would induce the acknowledgement of the
debt ; and the old proverb may be well applied here :
" Those who want money when they borrow will assnredly
•• want it when they should pay." The Etoile, a French
ministerial journal, however, cuts the matter very short, by
declaring that " not a piastre of the revolutionary loans will
•' ever bep!aid."' To this we are inclined to assent, at least
.until another revolution shall occur.

gipg's Bench, en the appearance of S. W. Trust, to receive

SATURDAY EVENINO, NOVEMBER 22, 184

STOCK EXCHANGS, 12 o'Ct.oca.—Consols opened this
morning for money at 8311, and for next account I, 81,
with little business doing.

The announcement yesterday in an Evening Paper that
the King of Spain was to pnblish the modifications of the
decrees he issued at Port St. Mary's and Xeres, has not
been confirmed this morning in any shape; consequently
it is not credited in the City. This is proved by the
Consol Market opening a half per cent. worsa than it
left off yesterday. lithe above intelligence had been well
founded, Expresses would have reached this cipital long
ere now, as the Freach and Spanish funds at Paris would
have taken a considerable rise. Eventually it may prove
true; when the King of Spain finds he cann d procure
money from France or England, without ratifying the
of i Spanish Loan, then he will be compelled to acknow-
ledge it.
Fouetcra Furs•.—There is nothing doing except in
Spanish bonds, and that to no great extent.

We have the painful task of recording the death of Lord
Erskine. This event took place on Monday-evening, at
Almondale, a few miles from Edinburgh. The disease
was inflammation of the chest. Though the age %bids
his late Lordship had reached, 75. rendered such an event
of no improbable ccurrence, yet the suddenness of his
deprture has startled many who saw bins but a few weeks
ago, in apparent good health, and high spirits. He was
engaged to preside at the 29th anniversary of the acquittal
of Messrs. Hardy, Horne Tooke, Thdwatl, &c., but was
prevented attending, by a neglect to remind him of his
engagement, until be bad pledged himself to be on a visit
in Scotland, from which he was never destined to return.
The conspicuous place which he occupied during
one of the most agitated periods of English
history ; and the courage. ability, and success, with which
be defended the popular side of so many important questions
are too vividly in the recollection of the age to require
any comment. He has long ceased to take part in the

ordinary business of the political world ; but on ever
trying occasion, he was wont to pat on his ancient armour
and rush into the thickest of the fight. As an advocate,
be will probably never be equalled. Not having studied
the law exclusively, which has a tendency to contract
both the bead and the heart, there was a manliness and
independencelabout him, which are mrely found at tl e
bar. Possessed of the greatest talents, be employed them

were completely crowded upwards of an hour prior to the
time fixed for the commencement of the Lecture: Many

master, Ryder (with his wife), and the crew, took to
the boat, and endeavoured to reach the shore, in which
attempt they failed, after baying lost two oars. Their-Mloa-
don now became deplorable; the storm came on with. in-
creased violence; and having but two oars remaining,
they were driven into the channel, where The sea runniag

there seemed but little probability of escaping with their

water. The storm, at length, partially sub4i.led, and in a
state of exhaustion they reached Bryan 84y, on the Se-

every assistance in their power, and carried them from

THURSDAY EVENINO, APRIL 3, 11123.

BOURBON WNR.

The Yorning Chronicle has, at last, seen the wisols m
of our advice, and has resolved to " distrust the influence
of its wishes on its jadgoiew." Having thus easily -,:c-
terusined, it gives little credit to the rumours relating to
ideurgent movements in France ; though it lashes for
a sarcasm on Louis Me At. We do not see the wit of
this ; but oe can easily discern something else in it, see-
ing that the Chronicle never talks of George Me fat -.
though it is pretty well known that Coe latter is much
about 33 fat as the former. We, the great We, the "
e u-
games of France," may learn u hat we please ; and n..-
holy is to show any thing like wit at oar expense. We
arc privileged. We are exempted form all ordinary
rule.. lis the war, our defeats were victories ; aye, and
celebrated as such 1 We may, without any dishonour.

which we call other natiocs slaves !—We have, however.
nearly outlived our hectoring days. This war of the
French, while we stand and look quietly on, will lush.

STOCK-JOBBING NATION.

The Exchange of London is the mart of lotus
sod
stock fur the whole world. The main part of the meals
come out of the land and the labour of Englan I. The
jobbers collect these mean.; into masses, and lend theta
1 all over the world. We shall have to thank the Frenca
for destroying one branch of their custom. When we
see English labourers with tits of old sacks round their
shoulders and with legs twisted round with ha.r•taml,:,
we trace the effect back to its cause at the paper-money
and loan mart. If this THING can go on for a 1, me
years, this country will surpass in misery, in deplorable
c.egradation, any thing that the world has yet seen. The
English lithourers arc already worse clad than the Litz s-
roni of Naplcs.—More than Jiiair lliousard horses are now
actually building on the skirts of this metropolis! And,
the country is perishing. •,W la.tt a spectacle to behold! And
yet, the landlords have nut the courage to move hand or
foot, except against the poachers. There they are brave as
!lectors of Troy. But, from the face of a Jew, they flee
like fallow deer at the sight of bloodhounds! Their
case is this: they see that they must be devoured by the
JewF, unless that take place which would give the people
fair play; and, they so shudder at the thought of Hs' ~
that they will, in all likelihood, go quickly down into the
mare of Muses.

SCOTCH REPRESENTATION.

Lord A. HAMILTON rave notice, that on Tuesday,
the I lth instant, Ise would submit a audio!' respecting
the Scotch County Representation.

THE MARRIAGE ACT.

Dr. PHILLI MORE rose to call the attention of the
House to the Act passed in the last Session of Partin.
went for the regulation of the law of Marriage. The
House would well remember the circumstances under
which it had agreed to pass the Bill originating %lift; it
on that subject into a Law. It had been drawn up with
the greatest care, and the provisoes and enactments it
contained were the work of persons in all parts of the
kingdom, hest qualified for a task of such a nature.—
The other house, however, had thought proper to make
considerable alterations in it ; and in the opinion of all
who had taken an interest in it, the only remaining
original chanson loft, came down to that House clogged
with many difficulties. In the dilemma in which the
House was thus placed. it decided upon rather inflicting
some inconvenience, with the power of repealing them
in a snhsetptent Session, than lose altogether a princi-
ple which hail cost it so bard a struggle; and, accord
inile, (nun this Bill inconveniences were felt which
nothing but actual necessity could have justified the
House in passing. Amongst these he would men-
tion the unnecessary introduction of oaths not before
req mite. The next was an extract taken from
the aegieter of Baptism, which was not necessary
to the main purposes °film Act. Another inconvenience
was, the stamps required its marriages by banns, an rte
pence which sass oppressive, without being in any way
useful. He would further enumerate the hardship of
the clergy being obligated to read this voluminous Act
from the pulpit. The Act also went to take away from
many peculiar jurisdictions the power of granting
licenses, by which many districts were deprived of the
seine facility of marriage possessed by others ; whereas
all sbunld hare the same power in that respect. With
