SINGULAR CLAHDRsTINE MARRIAGE IN Enc
LAND,-A singular suit for divorce came before
the English Courts on the oath ult. Miss Mar"
garet Lea Beyan, Young lady of great beauty
anu influential connections, prayed thatA certain
de facto marriage into which she had entered on
the 23d of July, 1868, might be declared null
and void, on the ground that the license had been
obtained by fraud. Miss Lea Beyan was the
daughter of a surgeon in extensive practice, and
living at place called Clayton lodge, in the
parish of Childwall, near Liverpool
The respondent, named Mcmahon, had repre-
scented himself as clerk, but was, in fact, a
conductor of an omnibus between Liverpool and
Childwall. In this omnibus il appeared, that
Miss Beyan had occasionally ridden, and that
she had had few interviews with MoMahon,
but there was no reason to think that she knew
much about him, or that she ever had any alice
ton for him at all. Yet il WAS an undoubted
fact that she had consented to a marriage with
him on two conditions first, that it should be
clandesine, and secondly that he should not live
with her till after an interval of two years. The
evidence introduced substantiated the above
facts, hut il appeared that the fair plaintiff her
self was party to the fraud, which was the
giving of wrong names and wrong places of
residence in obtaining license. The presiding
Judge expressed the opinion that no relief could
be granted, but said he should hear what the
defence had to say before giving decision.

Ing. to the rebel empire OF South Carolina,

on Of Montgomery Mr. spratt is a son Of Chi
VARY and moreover, he is pro-slavery knight
OF the very deepest shade. Feeling not little
disappointed in the provisions Of the Confederate
Constitution in reference 10 the subject of slave

letter-a long but not uninteresting letler-tO
his friend, the Honoreble-" and they are all

member of the Southern Congress. la this
letter Mr.. Sprati expresses his great Indignation
and regret mt the summary manner in which
1.-THE Congress ignored the African Slave trale
Indeed he protests against the action of the
rebel Congress, and hints OF secession from the
South, in case the permanent Constitution shall
not contain a clause legalizing the traffic in
African slaves.
Mr. Spratt speaks very boldly aLd plainly
and tells his Southern secession friends that such
was not the object Of the movement inaugurated
by South Carolina against the Federal Union
But that on the other hand, it was nOtoriously
palpahle that the disruption of the Union was
to'guarantee protection to slavery and the for
eign slave trade. He tells them, tou that in
order to realize the true principle of slave pro
lection, the bond population should be equal in
numbers to the free, else by reason of an excess
of the latter, society will inevitably run into
democracy, which he holds is Ond must be
antagouistic to slavery. His plan is to have no
white mechanics at all in the South, but that ell
labor and mechanical skill and industry shall be
performed by black slaves. Mr.. SprAit expresses
. his horror of white mechanics, and says their
; introduction into the South, particularly into
Charleston, would endauger the peace of the
city. He evidently does not like the free ant
. Independent minds which our Northern mechan
les possess; he is afraid Of their intelligence ant
I patriotism.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, February 20, 1861.
The Morrill, Tariff bill after having been
amended and modified so as to render II very un-
acceptable to the friends of protection, has
passed the Senate to-day. The bill is something
better than our present revenue laws, and will
doubtless pass the House as amended. as that
body will not be able for want of time to do
otherwise, and will accept it as the least of two
evils The bill will receive the signature of the
PRESIDENT Neither of your Senators voted on
its passage. Where were theyy
The Loan Bill was taken up in tue Senate on
Monday, and the amount reduced from sd -
OOO,OOO to SlO,OOO,OOO On Tuesday, the face
OF the notes was changed from $50 to 800.
The Senate bill establishing a territorial gov
ernment for Colorado passed the House on Mon
day last.
The Force bill is now under consideration In
the House, and will more than likely pass. You
may rely upon it no compromise will he made.
aud force will be employed to reduce the revolt

have already rendered their volunteers to the
President to aid in enforcing the laws. and they
will be employed for that purpose by President
Lincoln, bill having passed the House en-
powering him to do So.
