By that act, passed by the legislature hastily and intemperately, and contradicting in its character, the principles by which the great body of the English law had been rendered venerable; those guards which had been set round the more defenceless part of the community-those protections which justice had afforded to woman against the power and vio lence, and oppression of man, were weakened, and in many cases wholly withdrawn. After having proceeded at considerable length in answer to the various objections which had been used against the bill, the honorable aud learned gentleman concluded by observing, that if they trusted more to im. mutable nature, and less to the stern operation of law, it would be found that the intended effect would be more fully and completely produced than it could be by a multiplicity of severe enactments on the subject.

In the British House of Lords, April 26, the Earl of Donoughmore gave notice, that on the 7th of May, he should bring up the Catholic question, and present the petitions from the Catholics of Ireland; and Earl Grey said he should presert a petition the Catholics, and from many protestants in favour from the English Catholics also. Dr. Phillimore, in reply, expressed his surprisesented to the House of Commons; but several petiof the Catholic claims were on the same day preat the opposition of his honorable and learned friend (the Solicitor General) to the measure now before the House. His object in introducing this measure was, to prevent the possibility of the marriages of minors being declared null, unless application to that effect were made within a reasonable period. His honorable and learned friend must be perfectly aware of the great hardship suffered in cases of this nature.

FROM NASSAU PAPERS.

Nassau, April 3.-Early in the last month we reported the arrival here of the American schooner Sally, Hopkins, with part of the crew of a Spanish Guineaman, called the Celeste, that were put on board by a privateer sch'r, said to be the Patriot, J B. commander, which captured her off Abaco. This Guineaman, with about 170 slaves, was subsequently wrecked near the west end of Grand Baliama, on the 24th ult. The slaves were then on

board the privateer, which proves to be the schooner Hornet, Captain Orne, from Baltimore, the same that was some time ago forcibly taken from one of the United States Revenue vessels that had been sent to detain her. While the Hornet was lying at Grand Bahama, with the slaves on board, a long low schooner joined her, and they sailed together. The object of these free booters is to get the slaves into Georgia.

NEW-YORK, June 13. Accounts are received at Montreal that eight regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, and a proportional addition to the marines and seamen on the Lakes, are on their way from Great Britain to Canada. Various conjectures are entertained as to the object of this movement. One states that it proceeds from the high-toned replies of the United States' government, in the explana. tion demanded by Great Britain on the Arbuthnot and Ambrister business.

NASHVILLE, May 26.-The five gentry described in the papers as having passed on to the Eastward, and suspected for altering and raising the notes of various Banks, was met with by the Editor of the Nashville Gazette, on his way to that place from East Tennessee, at the Crab Orchard. The person first described in the advertisement, as a tall slim man of gentlemanly deportment, was recog nized by a young man in the Editor's employ, to be the celebrated and much sought after Joseph L. Pluymart, who robbed the Pittsburg Bank. The first glance of Pluymart produced a communication of who he was, which being overheard, a speedy call to horse was made by the party, who in haste set forward to the Eastward, without partaking of a dinner, which had been prepared at their request.

SINKING FUND-In the House of Commons, last evening, Mr. Grenfell rose in pursuance of the mo tion of which he had previously given notice, for the production of certain papers, to show how far it may be expedient to apply the Sinking Fund, either in the whole or in part to the purposes of any loan that it might be necessary to have recourse to for the service of the year. From the reasons he had mentioned yesterday, he was induced not only to abstain from discussion himself upon the subject, but also desired not to provoke it on either side of the House. The chancellor of the exchequer aequiesced in the motion, and as no financial plan was to be proposed till after the report of the select committee on the bank affairs was received, he did not think it advisable to anticipate the discussion which would more properly arise out of that report In the present instance, however, he might be permitted to say, that his principal object was to bring under the notice of the house a particular clause of the act of the 26th of the king, commonly called the Sinking Fund Act. The clause to which he alluded was generally termed Fox's clause, because it had originated with Mr. Fox, and the purpose of it was to authorise the commissioners of the Sinking Fund to apply that fund to any loan that it might be necessary to raise for the service of the year. He was not prepared to say with certainty whether there would or would not be a loan this year, but he had been informed in the city that there would unquestionably be a loan, and that it might probably be 18,000,000. or 20,000,000, and at most only 25,000,000. But supposing it to be 18,000,000/-it was known, from the financial reports, that the sum to be appropriated to the liquidation of the National Debt this year was 15,000,000/-and this being the case, the Chancellor of the Exchequer might go into the city, and subscribe 15,000,000 to the loan, leaving a deficit of 3,000,000. the actual loan; whereas, if the highest nominal loan, 25,000,000 were supposed, the deficit, or actual loan, on the whole amount, would be 10,000,000/-and he submitted it to the consideration of the house, if it would not be better that there should be a loan of 3,000,000l. than of 18,000,0001, Having offered these remarks on the subject, he should not go into it at greater length at present; unless further explanation were called for in consequence of what
