The EcCLEsIAsTIcAL Courts exercise jursdc-
tion in spiritual matters, and distinguished from
the common law courts by their proceedings and
practice, which are founded upon the rules of the
civil and canon law The Ecclesiastical Courts we're
separated from the. secular courts soon after the
Norman conquest Their jurisdiction has since
very much extended They are not courts of record.
They have no inherent power to proceed against de-
linquents otherwise than " pro salute anime" They
have cognizance of all cases and suits relative to
marriages, and all applications for separation, but
they have not the power to annul the marriage
tract They decide also upon the validity of Wills
and grant probate and administration. They also
determine all questions relative to tthes church
rates, &c. All charges of spiritual nature involv-
ing defamation of character are made before these
courts The jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical courts
or, they used to be termed the Spiritual courts
has long remained without change but great change
has long been pronounced necessary; they do not,
however, at present possess the power of excommu-
ncation. All the officers of these courts are paid
by fees We shall not specify in detail the peculiar
duties of the six Ecclesiastical courts Those du-
ties have very little relation to any thing which can
occur in the United States, nor will the names of
the courts convey any ideas to an American reader
They are as follows The Arches Court, the Court
of Peculiars, the Prerogative Court, the Court Of
lI"ouuiSs, pAcsSounnAUly OOurt, anQ the lear Uen
erals Ohee. Nor the business of some of them
be very onerous although the fees are far from be
ing light, since the late Sir n j. FUsT presided il
three of the courts, and Sir JOHN DoDsoN at pre-
sent presides in two. The sixth, the Consistory
Court, has DR.. STEPHEN LUsHINaToN for its chief
All these courts are held in Doctors Commons anc
its immediate neighborhood
The High Court Of admiralty Of England can
not certainly be called Ecclesiastical court, al
though it holds its sittings in Doctors Commons,
presided over by member of the College of Adyo
Gates, DR.. S. LUsHINGToN,) and conducts its pro-
ceedings according to the method of the civil law
This court is of ancient institution. 1t is not 0
court of record. 1t has cognizance of all cases Of
bottomry, salvage, collision, seaman's wages, pilot
age, breach of navy regulations, &c. In time ol
war it adjudicates all questions of prize-money, and
all suits respecting matters occurring the broad
seas in parts ont of the reach of the common law
The Judges salary is "a 900 per annum, with re-
firing pension of C., 900.
We have not attempted, in this sketch of the
British Courts of Law, any detail of their history
or disquisition upon their origin and antiquity
Many extensive and learned works have been writ
ten upon those subjects TO which we must refer the
comparatively few persons who are curious in such

GsaLHa9RE'S
Anti-BilliOus Pills,

Wis remarkable fact that most diseases
Il of the present day partaIle to a great ex-
tent of bilious tendency: hence the fire.
quency of those wherein the glands and
membranes are attacked, which are STYLED
intlamatory. At this period when our
country is annually visited by fevers and
other epldemics, peculiarly Indigenous to
this country, and those residing in parts
contiguous to marshes, low. wet and swami
Ply lands, are being constantly affected by
diseases of the iebril and bilious class
which Is sweeping Off thousands of our
best and most useful inhabitants. In this
lamentable state of affairs is it at all re-
marhabLe that there should be u great de-
mand for some medicine pre- pared on sci
entlic principles, that would prevent so
much disease and mortality, and one that
could be in EVERY family, travellers port
manteau, transfers pocket, and ladies'
toilette, and used with safety. The pro-
prletor, guided by these considerations has
compounded an
.ANIEB ILLEOUS Pill,
Which is the result of experience, and
when he offers this Pill to the public. not
as panacea for all the ills that flesh is
heir to, but as corrector to that class of
diseases arising from hillary arrangements,
he does it whit he most perfect assurance
that it will accomplish more good than any
other pref aration now in use.
These Pills may be taken by the most
delicate female, as well as the most athlet-
ic man. They may be used with certainty
in Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Female Obstruc,
tons, Enlarged Spleen, Foul Stomach
Bilious, Infamatory and Yellow Fever
Jaundice, Bilious Cholic, and all other
diseases arising from an impure state of the
system. The following is sample of the
