shall go to the person who shall inform or sue

of such fiiies as. shah be imposed on any Rector,
- &.C shall be apfd'u tto such chat ‘able purpose
as shall he appointed and directed ‘iy the Bish

posed by the act is tranEpo.tation for fourteen
years, and that is to be equally divided between

Legislative Ulnndersi —In the new Marriage
Act, which has undergone such lengthened and
anxious discussions in both Houses, there is the
following pas.ages—“And in such case both
parties shall also make oath that the person or
persons whose consent shall oe requited by law
to the marriage of such parties has been giv
enj”—i e. that the person or persons has been
g,ven !—'Hie framer, of course, means the o on
sent of such person or persons, but he gets it
enacted that “the person or persons” shad be
given !- But there is another enactment trsily
mar'e'loug: “And be it further enacted,” says
the amended Bill, “That such banns shall not
be published until the true Christian and sur
i amts of the said persons, and the house or
houses of their respective abodes, shall be affix
ed the principal door of the church or chapel!
and in some conspicuous place within the said
church or chapel! Parliament is omnipotent,
truly; but how a bouse could be stuck on a
church door is a problem liat rein ins to be
solved—The difficulty we apprehend, is in
creased, when two houses are to be stuck on
the said door! But we must say, with reve
rence, that their Lordships intend to cany
their omnipotence to the highest pilch, ‘.hen
they enact that the same house or houses must
be stuck on the clnirch door, also placed in

Important Decisvn to Livery Stable Keepers.
11l the British Court of Common Picas, June
29, an action in trover, was brought to recover
ti c value of t\v o horses front tne defendant, who
is a livery staMe- keeper at Brighton.
Mr Serjeant Lena stated the case for the
plantifi, whois a livery stable-keeper in *own,
and who had lent two job horses to a lady, who
left them at Brighton in the care df the defen
dant, who is a livery stable-keeper in that
place. When they were.aent for, he charged
3'it 10*. hut the charge was considered as txor.
bituni, and 29/ was tendered, whtci was refu
sed, and the ac ion was now brought to recover
the value of the horses detained. The learned
Serjeant said, that this was the first time that
the question as to the right of livery stable
keepers to detain the horses for the expenses
had ciime before a Cquri of Justice: He argu
ed at great length, to prove the situation of the
innkeeper and that of a livery stable-keeper
wire totally different; and that the latter had
not, like the former, the right ot detaining hor
ses for the expenses.
Evidence was called on the part of the plan
tin', to prove the tender of part of the money
to the defendant, and that the sum was a fair
remuneration. On the part of the defendant,
Mr. Serjeant Taddy denied that any tender had
been made, and asserted that the witness who
had been called to prove that fact was unwor
thy of credit.
Chief Justice Dallas gave it as his opinion that
the livery stable-keeper could have no lien on
the horses or property, for his situation was
; widely different from that of innkeeper. The
innkeeper was obliged to receive the horses of
travellers, and to entertain them; but the >iver>
stable keeper was under no such obligation,
ami received the horses only upon contract and
upon tb it contract be might bri g his action.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plantin'—
Damage 751.

The disorder which we witnessed yesterday is I
a repetition of what took place tit Araujtiez ■
some days before, although of greater impor-;

“ The Ki ‘g having learnt the horrible and
scardninus outrage committed on the person of

Spain —Our only foreign news, during
the present week, i* from Spain, by the ‘
way ol Gibraltar. We have, through this j
channel, Madrid dates to July sth, when
.that capital was still agitated by a recent i
{disturbance among a pottion of the militit-i
ry, detached for guaid to the person of
the King. It does not appear that a man J
of distinction took any leading part in this
disturbance, but that it was confined to *he i
common soldiers, about 4( 00 of whom left
Madid, and per-isted in refusing to obey,
the oidersof the King and their officers to
’ return. —We do not feel disposed to at
tach go much importance to th's proceed
ing, as it would seem at first sight to mer
it. Fe r dinand, by largesses of money and
indulgence, had no doubt so far succeeded
in winning the affections of these soldiers,
that when they observed what they ettnsid
jered disrespectful in the conduct of the
i populace of Madrid towards him, they were
induced to resort to acts of open violence.
That this was prompted by their own feel
ings, u n d not from any well concerned plan !
of hostility towards the Constitution ap
pears from the fact, that in their succeed- ■
ing movement, viz. leaving Madrid, they;
were deserted by all them principal ofli
cerg. As for Ferdinand, we give himnoi
credit for any sincerity in bis professions
of attachment to the constitutional system;
he would be willing, if he dared, and had
the power, to annihilate it, anti with it all
the intelligence and liberal feeling in his
kingdom, But the mass of the Spanish
people are now decidediy friendly to the
new order of things; they are daily becom
ing enlightened and intelligent, and have
for leaders men who are the fathers of the
constitutional system, and whose lives de
pended upon its ultimate success. Be
sides which, a great proportion of the Span
ish army is friendly to the Constitution,
aud it is only among that portion of it,
which has felt the immediate influence of
royal corruption, that any disposition has
been manifested hostile to the new order
of things.— Fatriot.

The ‘rial of Benjamin Rider before the Mu
nicipal Court yesterday, was rendered particu
lar interesting from its singular character. Ri
der was charged in the indictment with having
committed an assault, with a loaded pistol, on a
respectable Physician of this city, for the pur
pose of extorting money from him and witli hav
ing in points of fact, forced from him anceipt
in full for his medical attendance on his family,
and also four or five notes, of hand, payable at
different dates, for one hundred dollars each.—
This transaction took place on the 26th of April
last, at Rider’s house in an alley near the mark
et, where the Doctor had gone, as lie alleged,
on a professional visit The conduct of Rider
was discribed by the Doctor who was the prin
cipal witness for government, a* outrageous in
the extreme; exhibited in violent oaths, threats,
and menacing attitudes with a pair of loaded
pistols. In answer to this charge, Uiupup;ior
ted, the defendant contended he had a justify
ing cause since, (having long suspected him)
he did, in truth, detect the Physician in crimin
al conversation with his wife. Numerous w it
nesses w ere exalnined upon the circumstances,
under which the justification was set up, who
testified the facts not exactly decent detail Or.
the part of government, it was mentioned, ■chat
from the character of some of the female witnes
ses for chastity, the occupation of the defen- j
dant, and circumstances connected with the:
conduct of other witnesses, there resulted a ;
strong presumption of a conspiracy among the!
defendant, his wife and other persons, to extort
money from the doctor.
The cause was given by Judge Quincy, to the
jury, who after retiring for a short time retur
ned a verdict of Guilty The defendant ex
pressed his intention of appealing to the Sup
reme Judicial Court.

Police. —On Tuesday last a gentlemen,
of considerable address and

invited by the vigilant clerk ot the i’mice-
Coort, not however till after the gentium, rt
had nearly finished his bottle of wine ts.
ter dinner, to repair, ro the Police and re.
ply to a few interrogaioiit-s, the result , f
which was, that he has been detained to an
swer to a serious charge at ti.e nent siuj,,,,
of the Court of Sessions, 1 iie facts as ru
later! to us, are as follows.
The person arrested, caff* himself Jain*
Hettick, and alleges that he is a foreigner,
(iie came to this city ffist in the steam-ship
Robert Fulton, on her last return fj U(rv
Nevv-Orleant*. and we are informed gut <u
board that vessel tn the river Missippi| B ,„ rie
distance from New-Orleans, having then
(just arrived from Campeachy. Os course
lie did riot pay his passage before cominn
on board, and on his arrival here, bego-e<f
the indulgence of the captain till he could
vi-'t the springs, where he sl.ooid procure
funds. Before departing f- the springs*,
he paid a visit to Long Bianch, and mviru,
to his polite and insinuating manners, w;;°
somewhat distinguished among the fas'ior
able*, having acted there ns master of rere
m nie* at a bail or cotillion party, boon
after his return he took passage in oiieof
the 3team boats for Albany, and visited the
springs, where thee can be litile doubt he
was as brilliant and engaging as the occa
sion required. After a fashionable v i-ir at
this delightful resort, he returned to Alba
ny, and on Monday week look pahre 00
board the Fire Fly for Ni-w-Ynrk.
Among the passengers in the steam boat
was Dr. John F. Carmichael of Mississippi,
wlm was returning to New-York from an
excursion to the north and the Springs,—
At the early hour in the evening flip Doc
tor had occasion to repair to his trunk, arid
looking for it, soon discovered that it was
missing. It contained his wearing appa
rel, most of the papers he had with him,
and 82 800 in money. Diligent starch
wag made throughout the vessel, but the
trunk was no where <0 be found and the
only conclusion was that it must by mis
take have been sent admi t at some of the
landing places. Hettick, who li.ui made
himself acquainted with the Doctor, ex
press! and great sympathy fur hi# 10-s and of
fered him a change of linen, &c, which the
Doctor having thus buen deprived of his
■•wn, thought proper to accept. On their
arrival here, they took lodgings ai the same
house. The Doctor went bark to the dii
forent landing place* in sp.i.suii of his trunk,
but could hear nothing of and, and >n his re
turn offered a liberal reward sot it audits
contents.
r : About 8532, were found upon Hetlicl.
■■■ His trunk. wt-i< h he alleged contain'd ru
1 i money was brought iVoov his l< dgings
■{the police office and examined, tievnal
j shirts, the marks having been cut out, were
’ found, and the sum of £I,OOO in a £SOO,
and five £IOO bills, xvhirh I)r Carmichael
■ recognised as part ot* the money he hail lost,
was found snugly deposited in a stocking.
’ Upwards of 81.200 are yet missing, a part
• of which it is Imped may be discovered.
This case should sene as a caution to
