On resuming the adjourned debate on the second reading of this bill, Colonel FRENCH complained of the bill being forced upon the city of Dublin, against the strong representations of the inhabitants. Mr. Mecums and Lord Naas likewise objected to the bill. Mr. ROBSKAN regretted that the measure, which was merely a consolidation bill, should have met with so much opposition; but, as the corporation of the city of Dublin, from misconception, entertained a strong hostility to it, and it was doubtful whether the bill could be passed this session, he should with draw it,. The Juries (Ireland) Bill was likewise dis charged. .uiu:yu, L'i /i'li • • The Deeds (Scotland) Bill passed . through com- mittee. The house went into committee on the Prisons (Ireland) Bill.

At the noon sitting the Jadgments Execution Bill was read a second time, and, after some discussion, ordered to be committed on Wednesday next. BLEACHING WORKS (No. 2) BILL. The adjourned debate on the second reading of ‘ l , - ,is bill was then resumed. Sir G. GREY, speaking on behalf of the Govern ment, opposed the measure, and recommended its postponement until another session, when a select committee might devise some more effectual means for carrying out the object of its promoters. Sir J. GRAHAN did not see mach use in pressing the bill at so late a period of the session. The ques tion, he observed, was very fully considered in 1845, and the Legislature' drew the distinction between factories and bleaching' works. This bill did not altogether correspond with the report of Mr. Tremen beerC, and, if it lid, there was a grievous errt r on the face of that'report. In matters of this sort the minimum of interference was the maximum of wis dom, and he viewed all measures of this kind with extreme jealousy. It was admitted that the bleach• ing trade was exposed to severe competition with foreign rivitts,lind if, as Mr. Tremenheere stated, the effect of Ma' Sitggestion wontd'add ten per cent. to the cost of iirbduction, it would leisure the success of those foreign rivals. There should be a select c3nimittee to inquire into the whole subject, and he hoped the bean:, would not proceed with the bill this session. -; ,,1" 1 '" IlEiritriir's recommended;the postponement of VINIf*CA IIS Mr. Butt to go to a:dOision po seitend 'reading' bl the bill.

He tnoved, with the view of defeating the measure, that, tikit4hairruan should report progress. Mr. Hutt, Mr. E. C. Egerton, Mr. Strult, and Mr. Ewart supported the bill. Lord Lovaine i Mr. Henley, Mr. 'Massey, Mr. Atherton, and Mr. Macgregor opposed it ; and Mr. Bouverie, seeing the sense of the committee against him, would not press his amendment for reporting progress. The amendment was accordingly withdrawn, and clause 1 agreed to. /of I in On clause 2, Mr. BOUVERIE repeated his objections to the clause. Mr. Bass' w moved that tho chairman repoit progress. The committee divided, and rejected the motion by a majority of 92-117 to 25. The consideration of clause 2 was resumed, bat a quarter to six o'clock arrived before any decision was come to, when, according to the standing order of the house, no further proceedings could be taken. ,17 The house resumed, when the bill was ordered to be committed on Thursday pro forma, with a view to the introduction of amendments. The Registration of Leases (Scotland) Bill went through committee. The Procedure before Justices (Scotland) Bill and the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill passed through committee.

REFORMATORY AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS RILL. Lord RAYESSWoRTH moved she third iiseading of the bill. The Bishop of OLFORD, on the question that the bill do peas, moved the addition of a clause, leaving it to the discretion of the magistrates whether the juvenile offender should be committed to prison for fourteen days before being sent -to a reformatory school. flo(191 1 The motion was carried, on a division, by Mb against 17, and the bill, so amended, passed. - , , , i i 0 DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUsEs BILL. On the report of amendments to this bill, ' The Bishop of OXFORD moved the omission. of clause 19 of the bill, which gives a right of divorce to a husband upon the adultery of his wife, and to a wife where the husband has been guilty f inces tuous adultery, bigamy, adultery with cruelty, or adultery with desertion, without reasonable excuse, for four years or npeards. He contended that the bill, as it stood, would give to the comparatively wealthy the power of putting away their wires, but would practically deny it to the great mass of the people. The deep foundations of family life, too, especially among the poor. would be injured and an settled by the general license and laxity of morals to which, ht his apprehension, it would inevitably lead ; and be sippealed to their lordships whether they were prepared to sanction a change so pregnant with future evils. The Lotto Onxxert.con opposed the motion on the ground that it would -destroy the very foundation upon which the bill was introduced. If there were scriptherd authority •permitting a husband to put irway his wife for adultery, the convemeof the post • fni would hold geed, and it would not be iinlairful or a Wife to put away her husband.

On the motion of the Bishop of OXFORD a proviso was added to clause 24, making it unlawful for a husband or wife found guilty of adultery to inter marry with any woman or man with whom the adul tery was proved to have been committed.

PEcnerxmoved to defer the second reading for three months. He objected particularly to that part of the bill which repealed the 22nd of Geo. 111., and that portion of the Poor Law Act which autho rised single parishes to become incorporated under the Gilbert Act. Lord GALWAY seconded the amendment, having serious objections to the bill, especially to the doing away with the Gilbert unions. Mr. BOCVERIE sdefended the bill. If the house would assent to the second reading he promised to strike out everything in it. except what related to the relief of the poor in extra-parochial places.
