Lord ELLENBOROUUII said he felt It necessary to call the attention of the House to the subject of the'Aet in question. He regretted that so much inconveniem•e had arisen from that clause in the Art which altered the mode of grranting licenses. He agreed with a Noble and Learned Lord in what he hail said respecting this clause, the rest nature of which no one but a Prcla•e could Fe properly acquainted with, and he had to complain, that a , the time when the clause was disenssed, no Prelate'attend ed in his place. If these Right Reverend Prel.tes were nit present on such occasions he did not know how ques t:oils of this nature could be settled. Lord STOtVELL s.tid he could not account for the ab sence of those individuals alluded to by the Noble Lord, but lie believed it had been understorel by them that there were Noble Lords in the Noose folly competent to give information on the subject in question. He fully agreed with the Noble Lord as to the propriety of restoring the power of granting licenses to those who p.issessed it before. _ _ _ The petition was then read and ordered to lie on the .bl.. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Leicester against the Marriage Act. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he onderstoo•l that a Noble and Learned Lord opposite did nut mean to oppose the repeal of the clause respecting the granting licenees.. _ _ Lord STOWELL said the long established usage in such cases ought not to have been &parte I front. The Earl oi LIVERPOOL said he wished to reserve his opinion on this question until he knew on what grounds the right ha I been taken away front those wt.() exercise.l it. Lord ELLENDOROUG3 replied that an ',lmmo- I Aid jurisdiction had been taken away from certain ar des to whom it belonged, s i.tiout any allcited grounds. Lord NF.DESiMI A could not conceive on wri:it 'ground a layman could exerc i se this jurisdiction. It had 110 origin excerpt since the Reformation, and he knew of no law by which the right could be taken away. The LORD CHANCIiLLOR thought the best mode would be to appoint a (*Mutilate for inquiriat Into As laws oh the subject of marriage* rurally. The present Act took away the po ter of granting licenses from this* who had exercised it before; sad yet usany of thumper sons! hot 10101 Vine the iiittettion that h.d beeu made in the law, did continue to grant licences. The Archbishop of CANTEllittiitY said he felt it near ark w nplv to the charge that' had been made acaithil the Risk itecereud Beach to which he holonged, fur lisviitt keno absent daring/ the disebstion on certain clauses of the nee/ Act.

They did not ask for the removal of any other burden at pre sent, because they were aware that Government mast have the means of being , supported. They also wished for a Reform in Parliament, wtten an opportunity to that effect presented itself. His own opinion was, that a Reform ought to take place.. . The petition was then read, and ordered to lie on the table Lord SUFF,IELD presented another petition from the 11 lred of South lireetilioe, in Norfola ; in which the petitioners prayed for a modification of tithes, by time adoption of a measure that should do away the collecting of them in kind. Ordeted to lie on the table. AUSTRIAN LOAN. The Marqu's of LA NSDOWN said lie had a question to put to the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Ad ministration, which, considering the present state of agri cultural distress, he conceived to be . of great importance. It was well kiiiiian that among the large stuns of money sent out ( f this kingdom to foreign countries, one large payment had been made in the shape of a loan many years ago. This subject was well known to the public ; it had often undergone discussions in Parliament, and assurances were repeatedly made that it would be repaid. He alluded to the Austrian Loan, and he uutlers.ood that there had been an intention on the part of our Government, to make the proposed repayment of this mouey to one of the subjects of the negoelations at the Congress of Vero na. He now wished to ask the Noble Earl if he could state what had been the result of the negociation, or whether any negocialion had taken place on that parti cular question, and if so, whether there was any prospect of repayment. He looped that no part of this money woutd be employed in the prosecution of designs which every Englishman must reprobate. The Marl of LIVERPOOL replied that transactions of this wort nrist always stand on their own ground. If the Noble Marquis meant to say that such sums as this ought never to have been advanced, he (Lord L.) would tell him that, to advances of that kind, Europe Iwas indebted for the liberty which she now enjoyed. The Loan in question could not regularly have been made a subject of discussion at the Congress of Verona, because it was a transaction between Austria and Eng land. lie was not now about to enter into the merits of this particular question ; but he could assure the Noble Marquis that state the conclusion of the peace up to the present time, the English Government had holm pressing Austria for this debt ; that discussions took place last year os the subject, when the payment of the debt was egoist deukanded, and he had no difficulty in ailing that a principle of arrangement for the purpose bad been agreed to by the Court of Vienna. He hoped to be soots abbe to state to the House that the same was ' mitered into. Lard ELLENHOROUGH thought it necessary to say, in reply to what bad falbm from the Noble 'Earl respeciirox the freedom galuell by Huroce, that the ge neral feeling throughout this country now was, that file oily Wee o f sums like this wan I i kill to subject Europe to tyranny m u rk more detestable than that which it was lull:oiled to unities. If Ewe pg Wk. been :objected to such a tvrasaY,lt watili at least have been a consolation to thing it was sut jeet • to a person who had some great ness in Lis elseramsor. The had of DARNLEY old he ktew very wt-1! that it never was Intended or expected that this debt s!tould be paid ; and that it Inver would be paid. The war fur Ilire stint. reef width this !wan had been advanced was belly con lected ; the loan did nut promote its success ; and he, t►erefore •protested against thc 0-elaration of the Noble Berl.
