WALPOLE mead that it be deferred fir three months, observing that if the bill passed it would utterly subset' the best Interests of society, by destroying the cow Cleat: end happiness of families. Upon the religious quo tion he argued that the bill should have I ern first introduced ' into the other house, where in a select committee theologians might have pronounced an opinion none this part of the cue. Ir.dependettly, however, of the Levities' prohibition he contended that these marriages were forbidden by the Divine command; but assumine there was a doubt, notwith standing contemporaneous expositions and the general usage of 15 centuries, the balance should incline to the safer aide, where least risk was run. Oa the mid question Mr. Walpole examined and endeav::nred to refute the three reasons upon which the hid was founded:—First, that all marriages ought to be free, and this prohibition was an undue restriction • secondly, that, by allowing these mar riaa s orphan f amilies had b tter protectors ; and, thirdly. that these marriages were already so numerous that the pre ttiest law could sot be maintained. With referees to the last, he pointed out the unsatisfactory character of the evi dence, and implored the house not to pus a bill to repeal a saw because pools violated it. qol. THOMPSON, in supporting the bill, cited the re mark of M' atesquieu with respect to incestuous marriages, that the principle of prohibition was that of preventing the corruption of infancy or youth ; whereas in this case, epos the average, the parties were of mature age and distret. Men, he observed, would always disobey a law which they deemed unreasonable and unjust. Mr. M'NEILL said, in Soothed the opinion of the people, both on religious and social ground, was opposed to the measure. The Confession of the Fait h cc retained an express declaration upon this particular point, and that confession was recognised by nineteen-tweinieths of the people of Scot land; it was ratified ;Isv an act of parliament, and con firmed by the Treaty of Union. The proposition was, that because a certain number of these marriages had been con tracted is Ragland, where there was a certain amount of desire to have the law altered, therefore the alteration was to be impaled up en the poop's of Scotland, where there was so such desire. Was this fair? Was tt not an act of cruel injustice ? Was it not a reason why the bill should not be passed at all ? Mr. S. WORTLEY deserihed the mischiefs which had been produced ba the get of 1633, and which, he said, called for a remedy. one had been proposed, and would the house leas them without remedy or pass this bill i Upon the social question, he observed that none of the evils pre dicted as the consequences of this measure had been realised in America; and why, hs asked, should proteetioa be more necessary for English ladiesthan for those of other countries? He denied that the people of Scotland ware numinous in their opposition to the bill, and appealed to petitions from Scotland in Its favour. Mr. F. )(AXLE renewed his protest against the bill, net only to its application to Scotland, bat to the general ten dency of the measure to violate the best feelings of the people, and pre encouragement, not merely in this, but in other matters, to infringement of the law. If an Infraction of the law justified its repeal, why not repeal the law against balmy, than which ne mime was more common amongst certain classes?

LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 11. LORD JOHN RUSULL, in dealing with the fain ebise motion of Mr. LOCKE KING, considered rather the position of the government than the claims of the people. It is a course against which we hays often protested, and against which we shall continue to protest ; but if ever there was a moment to excuse it, perhaps it is the present. It is impossible not to perceive that recent events hive changed the bettle line of party. For many y ears past the people have maintained the privileges they ecquired in 1831 without molestation. Bat the Lords have now taken advantage et an opportunity to attempt the curtail ment of those privileges. They have openly arrayed themselves not only against electoral reform, bat ' against the very principles laid down by the Reform Act. Lord JOHN RessaLt, the author of that Act, is its legitimate defender and interpreter. Great allowance is to be made for him in that position. If, at such a moment, be says "The emergency is one which I must consider ; I must take time here, and make my arrangements according to my own judgment," the ;o eple, anxious as thoy msy be to advance, may perhaps be disoosed to leave somewhat with the noble lord, and to afford him his own opportunity of taking the course which a foreseeing statesman must know to be inevitable. It might be wished, indeed, that at a moment so im portant the destinies of reform were committed to less timid hands. But the country stands committed in this matter to Lord JOHN Hessen first. Does it lean upon a broken reed? Is Lord JOHN RUSSELL favourable to fair measures of progressive reform, or is he the statesman of that finality which he has repudiated ? He might, on Tuesday night, have tefforeed the people a better opportunity than he did efford them of deciding this issue. We regret he did not think it right to take that course. if he bad been the bold statesman we spoke of, he would have given the Lords plainly to understand the posi tion of antagonism in whit`. they have placed them selves towards the people, and he would have told Me, people in stronger language than he used what was their duty at this crisis towards the House of Lade. The Prime Minister, however, disposed of the motion with a recognition of importance, and an allusion to the stat, of parties. " Merely to admit this bill to be laid upon the table, without any inten tion of taking it up or going on with it, would be to trifle with a very important subject, in a manner un worthy of the situation, ar.d not quite fair to the people of the country." If there is little else in this, it is, at least, not unsatiefac'ory to find that the im portance of the subject ai.d the situation both press upon Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S mind. W - hilst raying thus much upon Lord JOHN RUS SELL'S conduct on this question, we must add, that the chief argument of his speech, suggested evidently more by Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND's nonsense than his own good sense, was strangely irrelevant. Lord Jonx ItusseLt said that "in considering the question of the extension of the suffrage he would be guided by the s , preserve the monarchy and Ina as hereditary branch of the legislative take of the Veld* race. Oes of these is dNignated a Bill foe the awe e fr ec tui levying of Distress few Rent r the other is amewhat significantly termed "Crime and Ont. rage Continues.. Bill." The object of the former is this. By the law of Ireland down to the year 1816, no landlord add distrain for rent corn while growing in the lull. His right to seise and sell did not ammo until attar the crop had been severed from the soil. The rack. rented tenant had consequently immunity from exaction and oppression until the fruits of his toil were ready for the sickle. He had thus a chance of Wag able to make a sale of the crop as it stood to some on. who would enable him to pay the !Willi of the absentee his annual demand, and to buy his children wherewithal to cover them. Bat the oligarchy in 1818 resolved to abrogate even this miserable privilege of the poor. They passed an act legalising the distraint of growing crops. For thirty turbulent r ears this barbarous law was enforced with ruthless rigour by the knaves and ruffians who are habitually employed in the extraction of exorbitant rent from the defenceless peasantry of Ireland. The Devon Commission, among the very few rueful or humane recommendations which it made, suggested the repeal of this detested and disteetable v lair; and when the present ministry came into office in 1846, one of their first legislative acts was to amply with that suggestion, and to abrogate a power which had proved to be the fertile sonic* of increasing violence and crime. Font. years have hardly elapsed, and already the Irish tory landlords have the impudence to propose a restitution of ibis implement of tenant torture ! What will the Commons do ? Lastly, a bill has been carried, without objection or observation, through the Hoare of Lords, to continue in force during a certain time named, the provisions of the act patnt' in November 11548, for the repine lion of agrarian crime. The pleasure was introduced amidst a hurricane of prodigal turbulence. Its pro visions were of the most coercive and extra-constitu tional nature. Nothing but the paramount necessity of the case could have warranted any minister in proposing, or any legislative assemb!y in passing such a penal law. At the moment. men shrunk, however, appalled by the daily occurrence of deadly acts of outrage, and submitted with a shudder or a sigh to what they deemed a terrible necessity. The perioi during which the act should remain in force was, however, jealously limited to less than two years. That period has expir( d, and what dr our readers suppose government ark parliament to do? To re tain certain of the less coercive clauses? Nothing of the kind. To renew it in calms(' for another twelve. month until a Pacifying lindlord inl tenant bill can be passed ? No such thing. It is absolutely pri wird that the act of 1818 should, without any modi fication, be renewed for Aar years longer ! Again we ask. what will the House of Commons do? The last-named bill stands for second reading, we are told, to-morrow. Will any cne even of the most fanatical of the landlord faction pretend to say that the state of things prevailing now in any part of Ire land resembles that which u?.happily existed when this terrorist act was passed ? Will any one affect to believe that such arbitrary powers as are they. by con ferred on the Irish executive are needed now for the preservation of rural tranquillity? Is the per manent statute law of irelacd with respect to life and liberty to be for ever diffei eat not in detail merely, but in fundamental and essential prit:elp!e, from that of Englai.d, S.:o•land. and Wales? Or are the people of that kingdom to be practically told, that while they are forced at the bat onet's point to support an alien church and an absentee aristocracy, their citiztns are to be denied equality of franchi.es and their peasantry those securities against vindictive prosecution fur alleged infractions of the law which the meanest malefactor in England is entitled to claim? When—when is this revolting system of inequality and injustice to end? House of Lords." NoW this was as much uio say that a very extended suffrage would destroy the monarchy and the Hove of Lord*. A more unfounded or more deagercus assertion could scarcely be wade. So far is it from being true, that we are coo Silent that respect for the Crown and the upper classes is even greater in the lower than in the m'eld:e ranks. And for our own part, we are seriously of opinion that univer sal suffrage in this country would rather increase than diminish the influonce of the aristccraey. But, at all events, the motives which ought to sway, and which should b , adluced by a legisla ture in the regulation of the suffrage, ought to be their justice. fo tell one class of men that you will not allow them a vote lest they should over turn the throne, and another, that they shall not have the influence proportionati to filar wealth, iotelli genee, and condition, because they are hostile to th e arittecracy, is to b ase the coneti,utir upon mere favouritism and caprice, not upon the fundamental principle of justice. This is also Mr. D:sittett'a line of argument. The franchise, according to him, is a ywerilege bestowed upon an order : a'd the member for Buckingham shire of course star ds by his order. This order is not to include the tenant of • 40!. house in the ccuatry, and yet loud is the regret that it has ceased to incl ude the old pauper freemen of towns, who were bought, like onions, by the tank. Mr. DISRAELI sticks up against the rights of a nation for the privileges of as order, salaried in its upper extremities and vendible is its lower. Corruption, in fact, is the motto of his party, and the keystone of his domestic policy. Mr. H. DRUMMOND is • great dealer in bugbears. Republic and communism are the bugbears in vogue, and Mr. DRUMMOND holds them up continually, with the avowed intention of frightening people, whilst he Ishows himsolf not frightened in the least. On the contrary, he plays with poison, and votes for what is to entail a republic and the equalisation of property upon old England. The hoe. member ought at least to memo the appearance of believing what he nye. Mr. GEORGE Tnomrsom's speech was a striking refutation of what Lord JOHN RUSSELL asserted, — viz., the inutility of discussing the question. The motion or the debate was not useless which produced that speech, so telling in facts and striking in argu ment, even upon an exhausted subject. This discussion will be an indication to the Lords of the feeling of the people on the franchise question : it will also indicate to the people the direction in which their next efforts must be pressed. From the division list—including as it does the names of many el their steadiest supporters, ministers may gather some idea of the progress the franchise question is making in the minds even of the more moderate. Sin ' sorely do we believe with Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON, that the government can do nothing better than to occupy the recess in maturing a large and comprehen sive measure of parliamentary reform; and if they will bat announce their intention to do so they will unite around them, is an impenetrable phalanx, the whole liberal party of the nation." IF Sir GEORGE GREY wanted an excuse for not in terfering with the present condition of our medical laws, he certainly could not have hit upon a mete convenient plan than deferring the nutter till the medical profess on were agreed. If the government had waited berme bringing in the Metropolitan In terments Bill till all who were interested in the burial of the dead were agreed, we think it is very a vident that the day for the discussion of the details of such a measure would have been vc ry far distant. And eo it is with every measure which has for its object the public good. Deier it till those interested in opposing it are agreed, and the day never cunes tor its realtea tion. It is too often suppos d that the question of medical reform is one fur doctor. alone to discuss, statesmen do not condescend to caneider the qu, scion. Here and there, one who takes an interest in this question rises in the house only to show how utterly and entirely indifferent our senators are to the matter. Yet we think there are many subjects of far less im porzatce, about which a world of words are wasted, than this one of medical reform. But if the House of Commons regards it as a professional matter, medical men do not themselves regard it less so. lights, privileges, colleges, honour., diplomas, are the terms which encumber the memorials and petitions which are got up on this subject ; and the pretensions done' body and the denunciations of another make up the stock of medical reform agitation. It is refreshing, amidet all these confueions and misappreheneiocs, to find at least one body of medical men recognising a prin ciple which we would especially commend to Sir GEORGE GREY as one on which he should act, and that quite irrespective of any agreement amongst the profession. In a memorial presented by a depu tation which waited on Sir GEORGE GREY on the 2nd of May lest these words occur: "That in any legislative measure which may be proposed for the future regulation of the medical protemion, two prin ciples should be steadily kept in view : first, that the public good, irrespective of all mere corporate privi lege'', should be rendered the paramount object." Without proceeding to the kear.d, we have here a principle on which we think a le4islator might de termine to act, and we are sure that he would meet with the sympathies of all right-minded men in the profession. However complicated this question of public good may be with the positioe, standing, and corporate rights and privileges of certain bodies of the profes sion in the minds of some men, it is certain that it may be regarded independent of any such things. The pnbli 3 good demands that there be an intelligent well educated body of men competent to minister to the need of man in times of accident and disease. The public good demands that those who are unskil ful and ignorant, pretending and designing, should not be allowed to practise the healing art, to administer medicines of whose powers they know little, to bodies of whose structure and functions they know less. The public good demands that the revenue be not increased by a profit upon the sale of medicines secretly prepared, and which are thus adver tised throughout the length and breadth of the land as approved by the government, and destroy era.e life by their injudicious employment then is IN the present temper of the landed oligarchy saved by many of the costly arrangements of society nothing is too violent or insulting either in mss- for the preservation of life. The public good de sores or menaces of reaction.

Widely, indeed, do these plans of organisation differ, yet any one of them might be adopted without in any manner conducing to the public benefit of the profisiion, or the settle ment of the question of medical reform. We are sorry to find that Mr. WAELLY is taking the trouble to seoertain as far as possible, through the circulation of the Lancet, the opinion of the profession with regard to the establishment of a new college. This is a matter so entirely subsidiary to the great principles for which he has all along contended that we wonder much at his spending his time over it. What, if a new college is desired P It will only bean Apothecaries Company under another name. It will leave ell the same work to bo done that there is to do now. The great thing to fear about the new college is that the party obtaining it would be satisfied with it as a victory, and the go- vernment might think that medial legislation was now at an end. Be the majority what it may against or in favour of the new college, it will not be ea large us the majority in favour of Mr. WAKLEY'II Me dical Registration Bill. Why has Mr. WAKLET abaxdoind this bill and allowed its great principles to be burked by a Cimmittee of the 11011E0 of Com mons, and buried in a blue book, when nearly the whole r rofrasion, with the exception of the cliques in Loudon, from one end of the country to the other, were in favour of it? We tell Sir GEOROE GREY and the LORD ADVOCATE, who have taken this matter of medical reform in hand, that say measure ()owing short of the principles laid down to Mr. WARLEV'S Medical Registration Bill, will not be regarded by the profession as a reform ; that how ever cordially the colleges and corporations may receive such measure, the great body of the profession will tolerate no law that gives to one class of the pro fesaion privileges at the expense of the rest ; and that equality of legal tight is the only basis on which any enduring medical reform can stand.

The crushing s ir dim with which he punished the temerity of M. itouber—the brief atd vigorous touches with which he characterised the law—the dignified petienoe with which he bore the Liliputian shafts darted at him by the majority, which could not divert him an instant from the large contemplation of his subject—the cl, ar warnings drawn from history—the surprising feli citousness of expression—toe bold, apt imagery which enriched his thoughts—the philoe phic tone, solemn, ardent, and tree, and the benig nant philanthropy, all combine to make this speech one of the moot remarkable orations delivered in any assembly or in any age.

Barthelemy S'. llilaire was excluded from the tri bum-, at the moment when he was about to express the sense of an important fraction of the house, the liberal section of the bet-, parti, with regard to the attack made by M. ltouher on the republic. M. St. Ililsire's motion was this: "The National Assembly, justly astonished at the words pronounced by the Minister of Justice in the sitting of yesterday, passes te the order of the day." . . . . After the concluton of the sitting on Monday it was settled between Duple, Ilsroche, and boater that the latter should rise atter the reading of the prod's verbal in the sitting of yesterday, and Lifer some explanations in palliation of his speech on the prevvling day. It appears, however, that at a cabinet emincil held at the Elysi!e, it was determined, in csneequence of the Preirdeat's ex pressed desire, that the offensive words elrould not be retracted. M. Dupin having received his cue horn the Elpe9 exerted himself successfully to stifle all discussion upon the incident. It is reported that M. Itouher, so far from bring dismiwed from office, is on the point of being made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. The Giornale di 11;;: of the Ist announces that the lope has pardmed t.ount Carpegna and Signor who had served in the revolutionary ormy. Caimans, formerly in the service of the republican police, hai been given up to the papal authorities by the French. MODENA. The Messoggere of Modena of the 2nd states that Signor Gaggiotti, the notary who had made the in ventory of the pontifical palace during the revolution, has been released from prison. To-day the debate; on the law of the press was re sumed. The first article was adopted; the second article allows the proprietors of periodicals the delny of a month in order to comply with the prescription of the first article concerning camion-money. M. de Tinguy moved an additional article, proposing th.t every article of political, philosophic, or religious dis cussion inserted in a journal should be signed by its author under pain of being subjected tore fine of silo:'r. for the first offence, and I,ollilfr. in case of repetition. Atter a debate b-itween MM. Tinguy, needier, Labou lie, Canet, Larochejacquelia, and de Chasseloup Litt bat, the motion of M. Tiegny was put to the vote, and carried by 313 votes against 281. This result was followed by great agitation, and the sitting was sut pended for some time. The adopt:on of M. de Tinguy's amendment was considered likely to cause the definitive rejection of the law. In a quarter of an hour the sitting was resumed. M. Charcney, a member of the committee, proposed, in its name, at amendment to the effect that the signature required should be appended to the original of the article, the re presentation of which could only be demanded by the tribunals in the month following the date of publica tion. The Assembly agreed to take this amendment into consideration, and referred it to the committee. The object of M. Charency's amendment is to avoid the inconvenience to which newspapers are subject at present of preserving the signed article an indefinite time in their archives. Art. 3, which is of ID much importance, from the power which it gives of ruining papers, by the accu mulation of deposits of caution-money, was referred to the committee. Art. 4, which obliges the respon sible editor to pay up within three days after sentence the fines which he has incurred, was adopted. Art. 5, obliging the ditor to exhibit the receipt handed to him on payment of the fine within four days to the procureur of the republic ; and article 6, suspending the journal in case of contravention of this rale, were adopted without debate. Art. 7 provides that all the penalties incurred shall be suffered in their totality, and not merge into each other. Some objections were raised against this by MM. Favreau,Cariet, and Jules Favre, but were overruled by the Minister of Justice. The article was then adopted. To-morrow the question of the stamp will be debated. PAM, Jinx W. re. - Wool.

GE MANY. COLOGNE, SIILY 8. The peace with Denmark is at length con cluded. This intelligence has produced a very favourable impression on the Hamburg Bourse. State paper is higher, and commerce is again active. Is its character then so satisfactory? It is doubtful whether at any other point in Germany the peace just signed has produced as beneficial effects. At Berlin the news has made quite another impression, and throughout every class of Germany the people have been stricken to the heart as they learnt the disastrous stipulations of the peace.• Every one re ads in them a total abandonment of the duchies to their fate, end a return to the old policy of the German courts, which nevi r could c ,mprehend the feelings and interests of the people, and perpetually worked for the inter.sts of petty dynasties. This im preseion is betrayed in all the organs of public opinion, without one exception. I will not speak of de moorage journals, as three might be suspected of prejudice against Prussia. I shall only give you the sentiments 1:f the most moderate newspnpfrs, the organs of the bour geoisie, of those who have fought for the Union and the political preponderance of Prussia in the affu'ra of Germany. _ _ And - first, the ellogrie Gazette. You know that the chief editor, M. Brtiggeman, is one of the warnifst partisans of the Uteon, a Prussian sang pun who is ready even to pardon Manteuffel because he thinks he discerns in him a warm supporter of the Prussian Union. He has carried concession to the govern ment 83 far that the radical party accuse Lim of being sold. lam far from believing it, but in truth he has surpassed ell in indulgence to the government. Well, his Berlin article of the 4:h in stant qualifies the articles of the treaty as " little short of iaamous," and declares that he will believe in no such abarwful treaty till he reads _of RI ratification in official docutrents. Ile declares that a government daring to de cide the Schleswig and lio:stein question in a sense contrary to the decision of the Diet of Freti,k fort in 1818, would commit felony ; and to poison the arrow which he directs at the heart of tre minister, he adds, " a felony like V:ose which have distinguished the cows:: of Austria from the com mencemect." Another middle-class Prussian organ, the Constitu timid 17,1.:, , tie, is equally plain ; it turns toward, the government, and says , ts party will arm against the cabinet in the next meeting of the chamber to combat the anti-national spirit of the ministry. •• Take care," , is its language, " that Prussia does not descend by its own act to the place of a second-rate power like Holland, Belgium, Sweden, and Norway." Another journal, also of theittste milieu, and of great ir.fluence in the north of Germany, standing at the head of the non-Prussian partisans or tle Union, the Gotha party, is much more clear. The Brichs-Zeiterny, pubuished at Brunsuick, says, " Shame is dead; honour exists but in words. Frederick the Great is without suc cessors ; but, as John the Baptist declared of Abraham, the Lord is able to raize up of stones new Holten z Mans. The Prussian people cm only, like the great Ekctor after the treaty of St. G.Tmeins, look up and hope for veng,ar.ce,• which will surely come. On that occasion Frederick Witham directed all the na- ti The proposals for peace cf the men of confilence were as follows: The ntfferences existing between the kingdom of Dec stark and the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein secs.: r..;: he decided by force of arms, but considered as a ri f fermi. and gett'ed by negotiation and friendly und.r.t.e.l.
