Marriage In this Sise Is, In thei. i law, a purely cit gttracts Th Id la'thtlig. tho tienndn whkhi Or. persons by.whotn It'hall 1* celeblat yn Is however, a unikerua1''ustorm and It would ngt be eonsidered decent i depart froin that custom, for it to be celebratod by a priest, or a clergyman, duly authorized by the Church to which be belongs, or by a magistrate; but we have no doubt that a niarriage delebrtaitid by jany perfon, or con. tracted by the parties themselves, by Words in the presence-uf uitnesses, or by writing, would be valid. Tie Legislature of this State have never exercised the power to grant divorces. Whether they have that 'power or not is an unsettled point; but the-bettcr opinion would sOm to bo that they, have it not. Ry the common law of this State marriages are in dissoluble : the U. S. Constitution. provides "that no State shall pasa any law imparing the obligation of contracts." It would seem therefore, that an Act of the Legislature dissolving a contract indissoluble by law, without the consent of the parties, woul be unconstitutional; and it may well be ques tioned whether the wife has the legal capacity to consent. It would doubtless be cornpe tent for the Legislature to pass an Act pro viding that future marriages might be dis solved, by the Legislature or by the Courts, but until such nu Act is passed, it many well be questioned whether a South Carolina marriage can be dissolved by any human power. Vhuat you say aboit the Statutes at large is true. The index is very unsatisfactory ani several important Statutes are otnitted in the body of the work. We will mention sene that have conic under our observation. The I Ith section of tho Act of 17-15 (3 stat. 668) is omitted. It Is true at the root of the Act it is said : "The original not to be found. The above is copied fmm Grinke p. 20 1." The I Ith section is a very important one. It is to bo found in I Brev. Dig. 39Z, and is recognized as law in the case of Muckin. fuss rs. Ifcuah I Jli', Ch. 182. It is a mistake to say that that section was "re-en acted by A. A, of 12th March, 1789." It was re-enacted so far as it related to "ete cutors and administratrs;" but the I ith section of the Act of 1715 is the only law of force which gives comminssions to "guar. dians and truustes." The important Act of 1717 (P. L. 213) which provides, inter alia, that no ca. sa. s!-all issue aginst a defendant for any deb: or damages under ?20 current mun'y; and the equally important Act of 1769 (1. L. '268) entitled " An Act for establishing Corits, building Goals" &c., are both omit ted in the Statutes at large. In relation to the Act of 1769, it inay be observed, that, in th" 7th vol. of t o Statutes at Large. p. 197, will be found an Act of 1768, the title and provisions of whieb, though anost identi cal vith the Act of I'/79. are not, in some tfipoirtant particulars, the sarm '-For in stance, the Act of 1768, (20th section) sim ply provides "that tno person shall be held to hail on any writ of capias ad resp'ondendum for debt, unless an aflidavit shall be made" &c., whereas the Act of 1769, whuich is the Act of force, provides (sec. 2 I, P. L. 273) "that no person (excepting trisient persons) shall hereafter be held to bail, tor any snm less thant ?50 current money ; and no per son shall be held to bail on any wvrit of capiuiis aid responidend1um for debt unless an all~iavit shall be made" &c.

The Great Ticket Auotlon, At length we know at what rate Jenny Lind's notes will be cashed in America. In despite of the rain, about three thousand people attended the sale of tickets for her first concert on Wednesday evening; pay ing 12 1-2 cents each for the privilege of going into Castle Garden to make their bids. Leeds, the head of the auction firm of Henry Leeds 4-Co Wall street,held the vendue, and standing upon tih stage where Jenny is to-eig on Wednesday night, sold the seats n their order frons best down to fair and middling. The king place oF all, which stands in the centre of tie semi circle of seats nearest to the stage, was the object of brisk competition. The principal bid ders were Mr. Monno, of the New Nork Hotel, Mr. Genin, tho hatter of 214 Broad way, and (report says) Drs Blrandreth,Moff fat and Towrisend. The first bid we heard was 8550. From that point it was rapidly rn by $l1's, S15's and -$25's to -200. Mr. Genin's agent then hid 82.25-"Shall I tay $2.ri 501" insintunted Mr Leeds, in his blaidest manner. You might have heard a mouse run across the romi the peop!e wert. so still. But no one spoke; and after a short pause, and a conipreliensive glance round the romi in search of a 825 nod, 31r. Leeds knocked down the enveted prizu to Mr. Genin. Three cheers were at once given for the enterprising hatter, and t he applatuse continued it intervals for full ten minutes. Between fourteen & fifteen hundred tickets were then rapidly disposed of- at prices va. ryingr from .125" to 85 and averaging nearly $7 each-the whole producing the neat little sum of $9,50) or thereablouts. Three thousamd tickets were sold in all, brin ring S'!20dO. The sale will be continue on Monday. as there are still fonr or five thou. sand tickets unsold. It is estimwatad that the entire sale wi!l produce about C4-10,(Ot We s8.all not be surprised if it reaclici $45,000. As tar as we know, $-225 is the largesl suto ever paid for a concert ticket. Under the corrupt administration of Lo-ird North, it would have gone a good way toward pur. chasing the vote of a mbcinber of Parlia. inent. Many persons at first iplpoed that the sale was Merely a nominal one, and thi coming to the ears of Mr. Leeds, lie calle Mr. Genin up to the front of the stage, an, asked him in the presence of the reporters V it was not a cash Aale. Those who knon Mr. Genin, iay we~l suppose that he look il soiiiwhat astonished at this question but lie replied at once thst it was. At thi4 tery gl Itoitvehi e Genhiaonum < f $50 for the ticket if lie would transfer it'; but .r. Genin shook his head, as well he might, his hook keeper having been coilmnissioned to bid up to one thousand doi loars if necessary and directed if it went be. yond that sunt to tuse his oren di.'reltion! Within t welve hours after the sale closed, Mr. Glenin's inme audl number. and then price he pa*iid for the seat, were placarded upon the bulletin hoards of all the princi l newspapers in lie Union, and there is scarcely a sheiet published'i wit hin ihe liim its of the Republic ini which they will not appear -'iar.
