Trate DIaSENTIMS . MARRIAOI DILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWN, in moving that the House should go into a Committee on the Diskmters Marriage Ball, wished to avail himself of that oppor tunity to make some observations on the Bill. Before he entered upon these observations, he must remark upon the irregular ,discussion which had just gone by, not for the purpose of adding anything to what had, been already said upon that subject, but as an Mosul'. tion of the inconvenience of catering upon the discussion of subjects of which notice had not been previously given. He adverted to this inconvenience, as it had deprived him of the advantage of the support of the Right Rev. Prelate at the head of the Bench of Bishops. who had attended that evening for the express purpose of sup porting the Dissentere Marriage Bill, but who was prevented from remaining in the House by the state of his h olds. Their Lordships, who had re• membered the sentiments of that Right Reverend Pre late (the Archbishop of Canterbury) on a former occa sion, must bear testimony to the spirit of toleration, which he hoped would. always characterize the Clergy of the Established Church. and by which he was parti cularly anxious to see the Heads of chit Church chstinii gentled. He was instructed by that Right Reverend Palate, on his leaving the House, to say, that his seri atim:a remained unaltered upon this subject. Bills restaintng provision for the relief of the Dissenters, had ken two or three times sent up to that House from the House of Commons, and rejected by their Lord. ships; but be was happy to say that a very general feeling prevailed amongst many of those who bad for. lastly opposed those Bills to give some relief to the ssenters; and he believed he might even say that the Right Reverend Prelates had expressed an anxiety, soadopt rinse measure by which the Dissenters might he freed from the necessity of giving utterance, as a unit matter of loran, to sentiments which they enter. wined lint at heart and, at the same time, to avoid that scandal to the Church which resulted from having *creed and its ceremonies prostituted in the calling upon Dissenters, for temporary purposes, to give a fake and feigned assent to doctrines which they declared they d d not believe. That was the situation of the Church, and the evil from which the Right Reverend Prelate and other Members of the Ecclesiastical Body wined to be relieved; and, he confessed, it was beyond biopower to conceive, how those persons who attached importance to the due and strict observaime of all the terms and doctrines of the Church, could wish to con tine a state of things under which those ceremonies were used for the purpose of extorting a consent, in leaded to evade, and not to 10161, the purposes of the LegWature. Under the strong impression of the scandal which the law, as it stood at present, brought upon the atureh, lie could not but express a hope, that their Lordship s would du something to meet the diffia:ulties which presented themselves with respect to those laws. --Different modes of meeting these difficulties had been suggested at different times. A Noble Earl, lately at the head of his Majesty's Governnseot (Lord Liverpool), and who, he was authorised in saying, kit deeply the inconvenience which resulted from the nate of the laws aff.cting the Dissenters, had expressed an opinion t'sat the difficulty might be best net by allowing some alteration to be made in the Ser. vice of the Church of England, but the Right Rev. Prelates thought otherwise upon that subject, and no attempt was made to carry that suggestion into elects. hot. D fferent plans had been submitted to their Lordships and rejected. The Bill which he had now to bring under their consideration attempted to re concile as far as possible the jarring opinions which prevailed, and proposed to meet the objections which bad been made at various Clues to the m astnes which came under their Lordships' attention. Its object was to unite two nbjeets--that of making the ceremony of marriage a civil security, combined with the strongest attentios to those religious ceremonies by which it was sanctioned. In this country, up to the times of the 26th of George the Second, these objects had been very imperfectly provided for; but an innova tion upon the existing law, commonly called Lord Hardwicke's Act, then received the sanction of the Le g sla tur e. At the time when Lord Hardwicke intro- duced that measure to their Lordships, it became neces. airy, however, to ex empt two classes of religious be lievers from its o peration—the Jews and the Quakers; but he apprehended that no man could rise up in that and contend that ihi, exemption was intended /0 ix any slur upon the marriage of those persons, or to drelate that they were not perfectly legal. Some insi lfOations h a d, h e k new, been thrown out from an ouch°. 1 itY of peat importance, that the marriage of those nokratondultious people, the Quakers—a people re naarkabie for the purity of their lives and the extent of htheir -- • , sow worts, could not be le g ally r ecogn i ze d ; but e aPineh:nded that there could be no doubt upon the subject; and sonic of the greatest and most leainesP _l4."Yett of th e country had d i st i nctly declared thefts i:Pgiallir.on_Trat the marriage of Qu a k ers was per f ect ly Mathew Hale had distinctly given his sane- Mar fo the legality of tfle marriage of Quaker:.

But he governed himself indeed by the law of the Gospel, of doing to others what he would have others do to him ; and, therefore, because he would have thought it a hardship, not without a cruelty, if, amongst Papists, all marriages were nulled which had not been made with all the ceremonies in the Roman Ritual ; so he, applyt ig this to the case of the Sectaries, thought all marriages made according to the several persuasions of them ought to have their effects in law."—(Hear.) The Noble Marquis, after some observations upon the legality of the marriage of the Quakers being thus clearly proved, proceeded to contend that he was en tided to claim the same right for the Unitarians, and expressed a hope that the time was now come when persons of that Persuasion should no longer be invited to approach the Altar with falsehood. in their mouths, or be compelled to subscribe to principles which they could not respect, and at the same time bring into contempt that faith a hich others hold sacred, for tl:e gratification of mere secular and civil purposes. • Ad ve.ting to the clauses of the Bill, the Noble Mar quis declared that he did not hold himself respon sible for their perfection; but he knew that those who framed them had the assistance of some of those, whose experience and information best qualified them for the task. In the first place, the Banns were to be pub lished for the security of the public, and then the parties are to go before a Magistrate and procure a Certificate, that they have complied with certain forms specified in the Act; that Certificate is then-to be car ried to the Clergyman for the purpose of being regis tered. Some objections, he understood, were made to the imposition of this duty upon the Clergyman ; but he, for one, thought it was one of those inconveniences which could not be avoided. The Registry Act had been passed in the time of William the Third, as a tax, for the purpose of raising money to carry on the war which was then waged against Louis the Four teenth, but so beneficial had it since been found, and so important was it, in every point of view, for the interests of the public, that if the Bill now before the House did not contain a Clause to make the Registry imperative, he could not possibly consent to give it his support. The registration of one of the most impor tant acts of our lives was, in every point of view, pub lic or private. of such infinite importance, that he thought the Bill must prove altogether inefficient, un less the Clergyman was called upon to register the cer tificate. The Noble Marquis concluded by imploring their Lordships to relieve the Church of England from', the effect of a state of things which was calculated, not to attract. btu to repel all converts to its doctrines. The Earl of ELDON said, he was sorry the Right Rev. Archbishop of Canterbury was not present, that be might express to him his regret at being obliged to differ from him on any point, but more especially on such a point as the pre-ent ; for there were few points in which it was of more importance to come to a right decision. It appeared to him, that matter somewhat extraneous to I the question had been introduced; the marriages of the Jews, for example, which had no mustier of connection with the present subject of debate, as regarded their Lordships. Those of the Quakers had also been al luded to, and more justifiably, as they were connected with that House, and he should take this, the first op portunity that had been afforded him of explaining his opinion upon the marriages •of that sect, as• rt had been misunderstood and misrepresented. He had been stated to have thrown out doubts as to the validity of the marriage of arakers. His language must have been exceedingly obscure for it so to have been misunderstood, for he thought it in justice due to that sect to d. dare, that he had no doubt whatever of the validity of their marriages —( Hear, hear). He thought himself the more bound to make this declaration, as a case had occurred in the Court of Chancery, in which doubts (which he thought totally without foundation) had, in the course of the suit, been raised, as to the va lidity of such a marriage ; but, in the result, those doubts ace found to be groundless, and the validity of the marriage was acknowledged. The Act which had been alluded to by the Noble Marquis (Lansdown), was, he believed, that of the 7th and Bth William and Mary. and it contained a clause which enacted that persons living together. as the Jews and Quakers did, should, for the purposes of taxation, be held to be legally mar ried, whether they were so or not. He, therefore, should not only say that he had no doubt of the validity of the marriage of Jews and Quakers, but that it would be no more than an act of justice towards them, as married persons, to allow them all the benefits of the laws, which they have not hitherto had—that was, sights, over and above what were now granted, ought to be conceded to them. If a Bill passed their Lordships House, for the benefit of Dissenters, it ought to do mote than the pre sent Bill proposed to achieve for the class of Dissenters whom it seemed principally to regard ; and in that more he should not object to include the Jews and Quaker.. A case had occurred some years back in the Court of Chancery, which would illustrate the state of the law as it regarded the Jews. A man claimed a legacy, as being the husband of the woman to whom it had been left, and the question to be decided was, whether the parties were married? The Lord Chan cellor sent the case to be tried before the Ecclesiastical Coutt, at which the prevent Lord Stowell, and another of the Jud Bes, expressed their surprise, as they, in their decisions, were to be regulated by the Eccle siastical laws, and as the Lord Chancellor was as competent as themselves to decide upon the question of the marriage of a Jew, which they held wa. the same as that of a person out of the country not being governed in this case by the les kei—as, by a maxim of nw, which involved a contradiction in words, but which could not be otherwise expressed, a Jew any where was held to be no where—(a laugh)—anJ, con. sequently, bad no place in this country; n fact, a Jess a as held—it he might so express himself—to be out of the world. The marriages of Jews were held, then. s to be valid; but the Legislature never thought of requiring the assistance of the Church of England at their marriages. With respect to the marriage of Quakers, there could, he thought, be no doubt of ~their legality, from the exception made in their fa• lector by the Act of the 20th George U. and strLich acid, that Qualms were to be colieitiseld as legally mar. vied, though mot monied actordiag to the enactments of chit Act. He would now come to the question more immediately before their L rdships. He would first ask.' in whim stage it was of the public business, that they wire called upon to decide this grew question ?—)Hear, hear). He would take upon himself to say, having glee.' the greatest attention to the form of the Bill— having looked to iteevery :totem and every line—that it was impossible to pass it without a great many alter ations; and how c uld such alteratinno on this impor tant subject. be properly effected at this period of the Session? The Bill would have to go through a Corn. mittee that Right; and, labouring as he had done to make it better, he would refrain from the task, because the time would not be sufficient to accomplish the work as it ought to be done. Supposing, however, the alter ations he considered necessary in the Bill to be made, it would then have to go down to the House of Com ms on Friday; and that H ruse, without having before heard a word of his amendment, and without having any rime allowed to reflect on their propriety, would have to decide upon adopting or rejecting them that very night, as he believed there could be no doubt no after opportunity would occur. Ought, then, such a Bill as the present to be passed in this manner ? It was said, that if the marriages of Quakers and Jews were allowed, so ought those of these Dissenters. But, as he before stated, the Ministers of the Church of England were newel call ed upon to assist at these m 'Diet s. This degradation was not carried so far as that even duri og the trial of the Commonwealth ; when it was merely required logo before a Justice of - the Peace, and the Clergy were not called upon, as now was required, to register the marriage. If they meant to do for these Dissenters what had been d one for the Quakers, so it be done, but let it nos be more. He must be allowed to say, looking at the Bill, with reference to this subject, that there was a great deal of delicacy manifested, with re spect to what it did, and what it did not to I them. It was said that these Dissenters have scruples respecting the doc trine of the Trinity, as being Unitarians. Now there • as no explanation, and he should tike to have it, of what these scruples were,nor what was meant bythsitartans. He, last year, asked the latter question of a Hight Rev. Pre, late now absent, and of another, who new occupied the Archbishop's Bench, and received no - answers but shortly afterwards, a sermon, preached at a Unitarian Chapel, was put into his hands, and the first sentence wa5...." The Lord Chancellor aski what is meant by a Unitarian r The sermnn,which,to do the preacher justice, was a very able one, then went on to state what the writer conceived a Unitarian to be; but what be (Lord Eldon) wished, was to see what a Unitarian was upon the lace of the Bill. He should be glad to heir any of the Learned Pi elates, who might support the Bill, argue, that the scruples of a man, who denied the divinity of out Loam andSAensua,were entitled to respecr.--( Hear). i He did not know the difference between a Unitarian and a Freethinking Christian, who, he believed, en tertained these scruples abut the marriage ceremony if the Church of England just as strongly as the Uni Varian. What might be the difference between the two Is could not imagine; but he would now shew the House what a Freethinking Christian thought of their Christian Lordships. This opinion of the Freethinking Christian he should read from a petition, now on their Lordships' table. from that sect. The petitioners stated, that they are required by law to conform to the Esta blished Church; and they instance marriage as being one of the ceremonies they cannot conscientiously con. cur with, and declare, " that the Church of England, in its religious worship, which they are thus called upon to sanction, they know only as a Church teaching, for doctrines, the commandments of men—as a Courch professing a religion as by law established—as a Church composed of the remnants of Poper and ,baving no higher authority than Acts of Parlia. meat." The petitioners then proceeded to deny the jurisdiction of the Ministers of the Church in the mat tors of baptism, marriage, etc. and called the Church of England a 4 , political religion," a "corrupt spiritual power." These were objectionable phrases, but he could assure the House they were not the most objectionable which could be found in the Petition. These persons denied the Divinity of our Samoa, and he supposed Unitarians did the same; but be should be glad to hear any Right Rev. Prelate that intended to support the Bill explain what was meant by a Unitarian. He would now examine what was the ground en which those per sons complained of the marriage ceremony of theChurcb of England. Their children were baptised in the name of the FATHER, SON. and HOLT Gmorr, which they did not object to. A husband in mart ying was called upon to unite himself to the woman Li the name of theFaeuaa, Son, and HOLT GHOST, which were objected to,although in the baptism they were allowed. But the special, complaint of these persons seemed to be of the words of the blessing after the parties were made man and wife, which was given also in the name of the FATHER, SON, and Hotor tiuose. These then were the Dissenters for whose benefit they were to pass this law, when, accord ing to all history, they had always been considered as the most offensive Dissenters from the Cnurch.— They were under particular restrictions till the Act of the 53d of the King, which explained the Tolera tion A.o, and took away the Act of the 7th and Bth of William and Mary, which ho acknowledged con tained punishments which ought not to bare bees thought of or endured for a single moment. But now they were called upon to grant to this class of Dissen ters what they had refused to others. In nothing that he said did he mean to treat the Noble Marquis who last spoke, and who, he hoped, would allow him to call him his Noble Friend, with any disrespect, nor did he think he ever had done so; and if the average of his conduct be taken, either for six weeks or a year, he did not think a wind which would imply anything of the kind could be brought against him—(A laugh). By the present B 11, a Clergyman was called upon to publish the banns upon the decl oation of two individuals that they were Unita, ians, without having further proof of their b.ing so than their own declaration. The Clergyman has afterwards to certify to a Justice of the Peace, that be has published these banns, and the Ju.tice is to appoi.l some time or place to receive it. In the time of the Commonwealth an evil prevailed, which had reached the present times, but which he was very ins:rument , l iii putting down, as his Noble and Learned Fliend now on the Woolsack (might he occupy that seat as long as Ire I ved) wou d fiod. It had, in the times he alluded to grown a corn iron practice to hare Gentlemen put in corn mission by a cold seal, as it was called, which appa rently constituted them as good Justices of the Peace a, any Unitarian could desire ; but that was now corrected, and there was no danger of an apparent, instead of a real, Justice of the Peace, being applied to under this Bill should it pass into a law. 'here were several general clines iss the Bill which required examination and emeectioa, that relative to the publication of the banns, for example. After ttiey had been published, they were to be certifie.l to a J.l.tic- • f the Peace, and th-n registered, which was certainly a ttoublesonse process to go through, when they coat tered that the Unitarian Lady and amtlemsn might he nne twelve, and the other fourteen, years only. Ag• eat number of Ministers of the Established Church could not but feel theesselvev degraded by bei 'I; thus made t'e mere registrars and clerks to the Justices of the Peace.-- The Lay Magistrate also would he dishononted by his part in the transaction. It might happen that the Clergyman who published the ha ins might he, at the same time, the Justice of the Peace who r ill have ro go through with the ceremony. Was it me .nt to be main tained that a Unita' i in, after the banns were puSlidied, shouldbe essab ed to say to the Clergyman—" I cl,l not choose to be marred by-you, as a Clergyman, in the name of the Fssusa, Sow. and HoLv GH , sr; but you are a Justice, and in that cap ic•ty I call upo t you to finish the ceremony." This he conside ed to be one objection which, at this pei iod - of the Session, it would be impossible to discuss as it ought t • he discussed. But there were other important amendments to he made. There was a clause introducing cerium provisions slthe Act of Gen. 11. but no means pointed nut how they were to be carried into effect, nor the manner in which the lits cences or the regulations of the canon law to be carried into, ffect alluded to. There was nothing either to prevent the alterations or falsifications of the regi ter'. And with respect to clandestine marriages, would not the present Bill afford foamy facilities for such? The case was very different with Unitarian and Quaker mar riages. in the latter the ceremony was gone through i the pre seine of all the friends of both parties, whilst in Vie case of the Unitarian, the banns were pr , cl.i ned , n a con gregation, of which he never formed A part; and ' , acing been certified to the Justice, all means of pr venting a elandestine marriage were at an end, ant the men might, at the risk of • penalty of 201. only, which miAht be reduced to 51. put the attestation in his pocket. And de clare the marriage null. He objected to this ail, then, as giving the Unitarians rights which were 'tot eojoyed by others ; but he had no objection to glue them on the same footing with the Quakers. And it was remarkable that the Act of Toleration would not except the Qua kers, unless they declared theirChri stiantt y. by professing their belief in the Tri ity, Father, Son, and Hitly Ghost ; and they were now about to extend greater p• ivileges than those enjoyed by the Quakers, to persons who did not hold that essential doctrine of the Christian faiths—. He objected to the Bill being passed this Session, upost the ground that neither House of Parliament would have time to give it a fair consideration, and upon that ground it was that he moved that it be read this day three months. He did not know whether he should be supported or not in his opinion by his Learned and Noble Friend on the woolsack, but tome seemed to be an inclination to that which he considered to be incon sistent with law and justice, he meant the making'. per son's declaration evidence of fact which it was impossible he should know t• be true. Registers of marriage were new received in evidence, because the clergyman signed them, and knew them to be true; at:d it •as the same with baptism. But it in addition to the time of bap. dam, the date of the birth of the child were given, it would not be received as evidence, because the clergy. man knew nothing of its truth. Now, by the presetit Bill, a ckrgyaran was required to register sod put his signature to that of which he had no means of knowing the truth, unless at the same time he happened to be the justice of the peace before whom the rest of the ceremony was performed. If the failure of the measure was to be made a matter of blame, that blame ought to be thrown on those who neglected to filing it xward at an earlier period of the Session, and on no o hers. As the questions of Reform, the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, the Corn 8,11, and o her ny-asures, were to be postponed till next Sessi.in, theie was nu reason why this Bill also might not be war, housed and bonded like the rest—till next Session. When that time would arrive, whether he should see the present Minis try its place, or another coming out of b rid, lie would contribute his exertions to make the measure as perfect as possible; but should move at present that the Bill be committed this day three months. Lord CALTHORPE, amid cti:s of cinestion, de clared his intention to support the Bill; not only be. cause he considered it a grievance that Unitarians should be requited to express an acquiescence in doctrines of the Church a England, which doctrines they did not hold, but because he looked on such compulsion as replete with injury to the demur of the Established lteligioo itself. As to the objection Made to this Bill on the ground that it was founded on a partial re taliate fpr the Unitariaus, before the other D.sienting Sects, their Lenlegr should remember that this preference witainstified by dal greet difference existing between the Unitarians and the other varieties of Protestant Dissenters; for the Unitarians, in denying the Divinity not only of the &caul Person of the Trinity, but, of the Third, differed not less from the other Sects of Protestant Dis senters than they did from the' Church of Rog a .d. Was it little Less than a blasphemous degradation of the S recce of the lista- Wished Religion, to call on Dissenters to assist in it by a declaration of their belief of Doctrines which they did not really entertain ? —The object of the present Bill was sim;ly to tepeal the Act of Parliament which sanctioned that pituanatkin of the solemnities of our Church Service. As to the postponement of the Bill till next Session, as proposed by the Noble and Leainesl Lord (Eldon), he must declare, that if their Lordships should post poise their admission of the principle of the Bat, they would, in effect, be postponing. and bending their own duty and dignity.— Bat it was said that the Unitarians wire &thin; privileges which were act given to the Jews and Quakers —true, they did; but their Lordships should remember, at the same time, that uetthee Jews nor Quakers were required by law to have their marriages per. formed by Church of England Clergymen, as the Utotarians were. It was but justice, then, to relieve Unitarians nom a gnewanest which the law did not impose on the Jews or Quaker-. lie was as ready as the Noble and Learned lord tit take every reasonable step in support of the doctrines of the Established Church; but was it consistent with those doctrines. or with that deep rsvereune - - with which its Members ought to receive the belief of the !nutty —the most vital principle of their religion—to comp. I another sect to declare its belief in that doctrine of the Tim ty, which belief that sect did not entenain? Nu; it was the out' , of that House, as the constituted guardian of the Church of Rag land, not to allow its solemn ceremonies to be any longer pro. famed by such compulsive acquieseensir in her mysteries, of per. sons who believed her doctrines to be founded on human authority, and her Ecclesiastical Institutions to he but a scheme of human ingenuity and human ambition. The Nut& and Learned Lord bad objected, that evils might arise from passing this Hill Inds present imperfect condition; but he (Lord C.) was couviaced that the imperfections of the Bill would not bring so much injury to the public as the postponement of it would cause to the Established Church by the continuance of that pro- fanation of its sacred ceremonies. The 'seesaw Bill ought to be raised into a law in this Session, and its defects, it any it had, might be amended in the course of the ensuing use. lie quits agreed with the Noble and Learned Lord in his din.pprobatioa of the religious errors of the sect of Meitarian Dt.senters. He felt himseif, however, bound to say, that, as indiv.duals and pri vate members of society, their motel conduct wouto not suffer in comparison with that of many whose eel:polls cr. ad was much purer. Lord FARNBOROUGH said, he was ready t grant as much relief to the Unitarians as uas consistent with the illtefCgl of the Established Religion ; but their Lordships should proceed I. this measure with caution, as it was, he believed, the Arst ii II .1.1 l' ii i I r 1 N' ). 1 .. i '1 i 1 I ' 1 .
