attempt made In that House to divest marriage of.the soletnnlties of religion. The relief which be was inclined to give to the Unita dans would be to allow them to he mauled by Clergymen of their own persuasion ; to the present Bill, however, he hod that Objec tion, which must be made to all Mils on important sot e jecta Intro duced in the last week of the Session,that it could not at this period be hurried Into a law without containieg inevitably fitany defects and difficulties, which might produce en injurious effect its the le gality of those marriages, and on the leildmaity of the births that might occur between the present enactmeotof the fare and its future amendment treat Session. • . The LORD CHANCELLOR..—My' Lords ) I rise to address your Lordships with much reluctance, and ut a great disadvantage, after the most able and effecti..e speech of my Noble and Learned Friend, who lately presided over lour Lordihips debates; but I fect*My,, self called on to remind N•ible Lords, th a t the o`rjec tions so :slily urged by my Noble and Learned Friend are not intended to disapprove of the principle. of the Bi.l, but to oppose some of its details, and via; the present stage of the Bill, namely, the motion for Sending it to a Committee, was understood to be the occasion on which that discussion of its principle was to take place, which, in correct practice, might have occurred on the second reading. If the result of this discussion of the principle should t•rminate in your Lordships agreeing to the commitment of the Bill, the n at duty of your Lordshids will be, to take the several details into your consideration, and, if it Be practicable at this period of the Session, to amend the defective clauses. For my past, approving, as I do, the principle of the measure, I am de cidedly of opinion, that the Bill ought to be now com mitted ;but I assure your Lordships that if I could be con v ;aced th at, by the passingof this Bill,a degradation would be inflicted on the Clergy of the Church of England, or a blow struck at her doctrines. I should be the last man support such a measure. Bat when I see the prin ciple of the Bill approved by a Rev. Prelate, not less dsstinguished for his eminent virtues than for his high Ecclesiastical dignity--when I see also, not only its principle approved, but some of its details prepared by another Right Rev. Prelate, pre-eminent for his piety, his erudition, and general talent—can I, for a moment, believe that a measure, countenanced by such high authorities, can be either dangerous to the interests of the Church. or degrading to its ceremonial solemnities? (Hear). From such groundless apprehensions, allow Inc to turn your Lordships' attentipn to a brief account of the Law of - Marriage. It clearly appears from the hisio y of civil law, that religious ceremonies were not necessary to constitute the marriage contract in any country t.f Europe before the Acts of the Council of Trent ; and even after that period, marriage was held a civil contract in those countries where the decrees of the Council of Trent were not acknowledged. In this counts- y , a mong others, the matrimonial enga_;ement was considered perfect without the superadditrol of any re ligious solemnity before the passing of the Marriage Act. This proposition I hold, not merely on my own cmvictioo, but on the high authority of one of the ablest and most learned characters that ever graced tne seat of Judgment—l mean Chief Justice Holt, who decided that a matrimonial engagement, consisting of wake prase:ash, was a valid and binding contract—a decision, in which he was supported, after due and solemn deliberation, by the anus. Moos opinion of the whole Court of King's Bench; to the same giber, I have the authority of a Noble and Learned Lord, lately at darbead of the Ecclesiastical Court ; himself. a light aid ornament at this House • as eminent for the solidity of Isis judgment, and his extensive kn owledge of civil law. as he is for the classical purity of his taste. and his familiarity with elegant literature; that Noble and Learned Lard also, when acting in his high office of Judge at the Iteeledascieal tut, set forth those principles in the cele brated case of " Dalrymple r. Dalrymple," adapted them as his own, and sanctioned them by his decision—in the case, I think it was, of Lord Fitamorria, in which a commission of review was sued out. of a marriage contracted under the forgo called verbs Js presentia the review was refused, and the marriage declared valid. This was what was termed by Blackstone an innova tion of the Marriage Law of the country. I am sore if that Noble and Learned Lord consi tered the present Bill calculated to bring danger to the influence, or disgrace to the solemnities of the Established Church, he would have come forward to meet it with the most decided and prompt opposition; and I may be allowed to take his absence. on this occasion, as a proof that he entertains no such apprehensions—that he expects no such consequeneee from its enactment. As to the sect of Quakers, the Marriage Laws affecting them remain to this day in the same state as that in which they were before the passing of the Marriage Act ; and the reason for which they were excepted from its provisions had a teference to their cutheience, arose from the idea that they could not conscientieualy take any part in the env. moults in the Church of England—a fact that constituted an addi tional insolent against the profanation of the ceremonials of reli gion by the compelled declaration of belief in doctrines which those declaring such acquiescence are known not to entertain-- (Dear. hear)—or in the more eloquent expressions, " onkel. lowed equivocations," the abolition of which the Right Rev. Pre late has declared to be his motive for supporting the present liill; but t may be here asked, why, then, were the Unitarians ex cluded from the exceptive provisions of the Marriage Act? My answer is this, because the religion of the Unitarians was. at the passing of that Act, held to be (whether rightly or wrongly, I will not now say) illegal —a§ a proof of Ads, in the reigns of William and May, the Unitarians were excepted irons the benefits of the Toleration Act; stay, more, nine years after that, that cactus.' sins was followed up by the enactment of penalties against than ; this hostility to the Unitarians then clearly accounts fug thair exclu sion from the exceptions to the Marriage Act. le the course of time, however, the opposition to them considerably diminished ; and in the lfkh Geo. 111. an Act„tvas passed to relieve them from seve ral of their civil disabilities, and this was followed by a subsequent Act. which went to repeal the repiainder of their political ark.- assets. What then Sr. we to do.tw—to consummate the with, I say, and to give back to thew - elbow benefit' from which they were excluded by the provisions of the Marriage Act. But some argu ments h ce been raised against the Unitarians boa hem and else where, on the ground, that the objectoas which they make are of no weight ; for instance, to the baptismal ceremony. Now, the Unita rians, I tuosider a sect of Christians, believing in the New Testament, and differing from certain doctrines of Christianity on reasons de rived from other parts of the New Testament—they do not ob ject to that part of the Baptismal ceremony, in which are intro- duced the words in the name of the Farm's, the Sun, and the Noir GHOST—nor have they any objection to the use of the words in the marriage service. They only object to one word, but that word involves the e.sence of their faith—Goo the SON—they do not believe in the Divinity of the SAVIOUR or the HOLY SPIRIT— this is the Inundation of their belief. Now then, can they be re quired to declare with truth, that they believe In a doctrine. which, as Unitarians, they cannot believe ?—but It has been said, in a spirit of distinction, on subtile for my comprehension, that they are not called on to declare their belief in the doctrines of the Church of England—they are only required to indicate their acquiescence in them by their presence—if they refused to observe this form. they are subjected to temporal disabilities—if they at tend, and indicate by their presence an acquiescence in doctrines which they de not really hold, Is not that, as the Right Reve rend Prelate has eloquently described it, a most unhallowed equivocation and mockery? It is clear then, my Lord., that the Legislature must do something for the removal of this grievance and this profanation. A Bill passed the Commons last year. but was lost in your Lordships House; another has been brought up this year in an amended form. The other House of Parliament has twice sanctioned the principle of the present BBL No oh j. ctiou has ben made to the principle of the Bill by your Lordships. 'fir,: objections urged by the Noble and Leaned Lied apply partly or partially to :he principle, but mainly to its clauses—but these objections he has interwoven so dextetoudy, that it would be a task of no little difficulty to separate, and glassily them under their distinct heads. As to the objections to the ohjtetionable claimer, your Lordships will be best able to discuss them, and meet the ob. 'tenons to them in detail in the Committee, to which, I hop-, your Lordships will send the Bill by your vote of this evening. As to the principle of relief, I support it on the law of maul .ge as It stood before the 'Marti .ge Ac:, and on the exceptive provisions of the Marriage Act in favour of other Sects, on both which consideration. I bold the Unitarians to be entitl ed to relief front a;I those disabilities imposed out them by the Marriage Act. and the par tial repeal of which has placed them in a new situation in re ference to the enjoyment of political privileges.

The Marquis of Lemnos aaaaa spoke at some length upon the expenditure of the Forelgo Department, in which he attempted to establish a charge of great prodigality agsinst Mr. Cassino, whilst he held the Seals of that office. He did not confine himself, however, entirely to his subject, as he indulged in occasional remarks upon the character of the present Administration, which, lie said, could not riss:hly stand. Lordship regretted that some of the moaoits, by %sush the strength of the Ministry In that House engld be ascertained, bad beenabonslind s ind yet, with an anriabl , incoodstency,declined following up nen remarks with soy specifi c motion. His Lordship, we are sorry to say, rimed' radio sore on the subject of bis own pension, and particularly on the pencil marks In the handwriting cf the good lavaaroot. on the margin of his letter. The reply of Lord punter and W•ILD deserves to be read with attention ; and we think Lord Loprooonnaav must have regretted having provoked it, when be heard the Noble Secretary compare the stuns, which he (the Noble Mar quis) had drawn from the public purse with dame derived from the same source by the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. It ap pears from this statement, that the former, in the ten years that the country had the honour of engaging the benefit of his diplomatic services, received in return 4:160,000 of the public money, or in other words Xt 6,000 a year; whilst slr. Castanur, for his public services, though they extend over a period of between 50 and 40 years, has nut received much more than a third of that sum I The Dissenters Marriage Bill was afterwards discussed and an amendment, moved by the Earl of Etoos, was negatived by a majority of seven-54 Peers voting for it, and 61 against it. The long rumoured intention of the French Govern. ment to reestablish the Censorship, and thus suspend the play of the Constitution as effectually, as if the Con stitution itself had died a natural or violent death, is at list carried into effect, as will be seen from our extracts from the Etoile of yesterday, which .reached us this morning by express. Most aptly has the charter been called a regal one, for the Kura can, at his pleasure, crush its vital principle, which is the Liberty of the Press; but he cannot stop the growth of thought and of public spirit, which always thrive best under the frown of power. It is also an undeniable truth, that the love of liberty has spread amongst our neighbours, in propor tion to the efforts of their rulers to diffuse amongst them slavish principles. We therefore see no cause of alarm, as far as the French nation is concerned, in the adoption of this most odious measure; but it is not so with its present improvident Government, which to gratify its insensate love of arbitrary rule, does not hesitate to place itself in deadly collision with all that the French people hold in the highest veneration. As a proof too of the real sentiments of the nation, it will be seen that the Marquis de LAFATITTE (a name of all others the most hateful at the Court of the Thuilleries) has been chosen Deputy for Meaux. It would be un necessary then to state, that 110 means, justifiable or unjustifiable, were neglected by the Ministry in order to defeat his return. This signal triumph over Minis terial intrigue and court feeling, speaks volumes as to the spirit by which the country at large is animated. The degrading influence of the Censorship is already most pelceptible in the vapid style, subdued tone, and political sterility of the Etoik ; and if it be a good I specimen of the future amusement and instruction to be derived from the perusal of that and other French Papers, we can only say, that the reward will be dis appointment. We may say with perfect truth, that with one solitary exception, it does not contain a single article of intelligence, domestic or foreign, worth re ferring to. The excepted article is an official table, shewing for the last seven years the augmentations and decrease of expense that have taken place in the different branches of the public service. The branches which come under the former denomination, are the Clergy, the Ministry of Justice, the Foreign De partment, Public Works, Army, Navy, and Mint—in all of which there has been an increase of expense to the amount of about 48 millions of francs, or nearly two millions sterling. The branches in which a decrease of expense is noted, are the Civil List, Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Ministry of the Home Depat t ment (general expenses), Ministry of Finance (personnel), Public Debt, Pensions, (the decrease in this branch is nearly 7,000.000) &c. &c. amounting in all to something more than 22 millions. The augmentations exceed the diminutions by 25 millions and a half exactly, accord ing to this table; but, as a set-off against this increase, there has been an improvement in the revenue, during this period of seven years, to the amount of 54,000,000, leaving a surplus of 28 millions and a half. We also received this morning Frankfort to the 20th, but they contain no political news. ADMIRALTY COURT, Jou 26. Ilf TOO MATTES Or TUN SLAVE. •RACIL The arguments in this most important ease were lids day re sumed. The facts are few and undisputed. In the year lit 22, • female slave, kaown by the name of Grace, was taken from the Island of Antigua as a domestic slave, and imported to England, in attendance on the wife of her owner, a Mr. Allen. In the end of the following year, Mrs. Allen returned to Antigua, and was voluntarily accompanied by the slave, Grace, who upon her arrival in Antigua, was again treated and employed as a slave. In the year HMS, the slave was claimed by an officer of the Customs, as forfeited to the King, having been exported to England, and sub sequently imported to Antigua, against the provisions of the sth Geo. IV. The matter was considered of so muck importance by the Colonists, that before it came to a hearing before the local authorities in Antigua, it was referred to Lord Bathurst, then at the head of Colonial Affairs, who directed, in a public dispatch, that the suit should be prosecuted before the Judge of the Island, and whatever might be his decision, that an appeal should betaken to the High Court of Admiralty, In order to obtain the opinion of Lord Stowell upon a point of law on which nu legal opinion had ever been given. The Judge of Antigua having given his decision against the claimant, and in favour of the owner, the present appeal was brought. The case was narrowed to the simple point, whether the slave, being free upon her arrival in England, could afterwards become a slave upon her voluntary return to Antigua? The Kano's ADVOCATZ and Dr. Lusnuorron were heard for the appellant, and argued the question on the principle that the Island of Antigua was a colony settled, and not conquered by the Eng lish ; and that the common law of England was in force there, unless when contradicted by express Acts of Parliament, which it was insisted did not exist in the present case. Doctors Jerome and Donsort, sin the other side, contended that the law of England, by which a slave become/ free upon landing in England, was a municipal law, and could have no force upon the voluntary return of a slave to a colony where slavery was sanc tioned, and for many years cherished. Dr. LIMIIbOTON was heard this day in reply, and the case now stands over fur the judgment of the Court. The SPIVIIERIt is considtied in A fair way of recovery from the effects of his Lee accident.

Nu. 1, Pn.httt-plaaa, Teall,lt44l' ' !~ pulalication of the laws of marriage of Dissenters by the Clergy of the Established Church stately your Lordships will not see much offetlaive Matter to the Clergy in that circumstance, when yam re member that several trifling matters of temporal interest, even the parochial rates, are published by the Clergy from the altar. Surely then, it can be considered neither an offence nor degradation to the Clergy to give public notice of the marriages of a sect composing a respectable portion of society, of unexceptionable moralitt of con duct, and high character, and whose members have seat, in the other House of Parliament, and .are allowed to make laws for the Government of the country. As to the objection against the obligation of the Clergy of the Established Church, how it can be said to degrade the Clergy I cannot see. The difficulty of the Clergyman's registering a marriage ceremony, the performance of which he has not witnessed, I admit to beristitied to all the con. sideration which my Noble and Learned Friend, who urged It could desire, hut I kohl it to be a question peculiarly fitted for that active acid deliberate discussion which can only be obtained by going into Committee ; I submit, then, that your Lordships ought to send the Bill into the Committee, where alone we can ascertain whether my Noble and Learned Friend's objections are or are nut insurmount able. In that Committee I shall, in conjunction with the Noble Lord at the table( Lord Tenterden) contribute my exertions to the removal of those difficulties. If it should appear, to the Committee that we cannot get over the difficulties in the short space between thin and the close of the Session, I shell have no objection to consent to a postponement of it to the next; but I would respectfully im press upon your Lordships taking into consideration the feelings of the respectable body interested in the fate of the Bill—a Bill whose principle has been twice admitted by the other House of I Parliament, the propriety of allowing this Bill to pass to a State ex pressive of your sanction to its principle. As to its details, If we cannot manage them in the preterit Session ' we shall be able to re turn to them the following, with renew ed vigour, and calmer I judgment—(Loud cheers). Tne Earl of ELDON, in explanation, stated, that his Noble Relative, Lard Sowell, was disabled only by illness from attending the discussion that evening. Inadvertence alone had prevented his Noble Relative attending by proxy against the measure, so strong did he know to be his Noble Relative's aversion to the BIS. As to the feeling of the Clergy on the subject, he had the authority of a letter from a Dignitary of Middlesex, for saying, that the Clergy considered the duties that would be imposed on them by the Bill, degrading and insulting to the altar. The Bishop of CHESTER felt himself bound to sup post the Bill, though be considered some of, the clause, to require amendment, The errors, however, were such as might be rectified in Committee, through the assist ance of the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. But even though their Lordships should not be able to effect that purpose in the short remaining portion of the Session, the circumstance of their going into Committee would skew, that their Lordships were not disinclined to grant them relief as far as was consistent with the interests of the Church of England. The contract of mar riage was a matter or natural necessity ; and even, in some cases, a Christian duty. The solemnization of it, by religious cere monies, was founded upon one or other of two principles ; either on considerations of public polity, or with a view to attach greeter importance to it, and enforcing the more strict observance of it, by eonstkuting it an act of religious duty. The Church had nothing to do with to e first principle, and as to the second those who denied that religious solemnity was not necessary to the validity of the contract, were borne out by that part of the twenty-firth of our articles, which states, that Matrimony, though an act of religious Observance, was not designated by any visible sign, form, or ceremony. It was also held by Swinburne, that the essence of marriage was the content of the parties contracting, lend that a Christian State ought not to force on its subjects the observance of religious ceremonies of marriage. Ills Lordship concluded by giving his support to the motion for the second reading, but stated his intention to propose certain amendments in a Toter, state of the Sill. The Marquis of LANSDOiir waa uotittelined, at that mo ment. to oppose the principles of any detailed amendments which Noble Lords might think the Bill required. He was only anxious that it should be committed, when them amendments might be brought forward. Lord CARBERY also appealed the motion for going into a Committee. After a few words from the Earl of Eases, their Lordships divided, when there were— Foe the modal " 61 Against k blajority . . . 7 The Bill then passed through a Committee, several verbal intendment' were agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be received on Thursday next.

The Order of the Day for their Lordships resblving themselves luto a Committee on the SAlit of Game Bill, having been read, Lord LUCRE consented to withdraw the Bill, but expressed his determination to bring it forward again in the next Session of Parliament. The other Bills before their Lordships were then forwarded in their respective sages, after which their Lordships adjourned. I Canape DAM% New A it b vn~ _.
