HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUZSDAY. On the third reading of the Ely Drainage Bill, Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition against cer tain clauses of the Bill relative to the Assessment of Poor Rates, u being likely to have a very oppressive operation. The Earl of HARDWICKE defended the clauses. Lord CAL'THORPE in reply, said this was a most material innovation, and moved that the Bill be recom mitted. This motion was negatived,. apd the Bill was read a third time and passed', ' , Om gi Sir J. Graham and , w e„ Fher . breetrbt op a Message from the House of ConseauAnesting Copies of the number of Appeals now before their* Lordships' House. The LORD CHANCELLOR itsfor•ned the Members that the House would send an answer by a M u gvr of its own. Several private Bills, and among others the Shannon Bridge Bill, were brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. WOOL TRADE. _ The Earl of HAREWOOD presented petitions from the Woollen Manufacturers of Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, and other parts of Yorkshire, pray' lig that the duties might be taken off Foreign Wool imported into this country. The Noble Lord then proceeded to make soav e remarks on the subject to which the petition* referred.' He conceived that it was due in justice to those persons concerned in this important branch -of manufacture to' exempt the raw materials of their trade from exaction, i particularly when the manufacturers were so numerous in all parts of the country.—The effect of the tax in question was, that of our markets suffering very material ly. He bad understood that there would have been no objection to take off this du'y, provided a free export of wool were allowed; then he wished that some measure' of& be adopted by which the price of the raw material 'flight be lowered. Us Earl of LIVERPOOL said he had no objection vikatever to the petitions being received by their Lord telar. It was true th at a duty had been laid on the ido-' I /*dation of Foreign Wool ; and the produce of that duty far exceeded the sum at which it had been first esti-`' al ga On the tax beintairit proposed, a calculation had been made that it weelkprilluce 250,0011/. a-year; but it did i n f a ct now yielak i rkpet revenue of 400,000/., !leis); legally double the sum at Grit estimated. And if their Lordships looki&igeha,pdventages thus derived to the menus, h e was sure they would hesitate before thee deadened so large a sum. If it should be maintained elm* the tax had an injurlons effect on the Woollen . the of the country, he would only refer their Lordships to the It:port which had been wade on the subject, and there it would be foiled that the export of manufactured Woollen Gloats from this country had con siderably increased since the duty was impos e d. If the inereue had not taken place in certain place., that vas coning to causes which did not a feet the agricultural in tenets of the country. Notwithstandingthe large re. venue derived from the duty in question, he would Lave no objection to the repeal of that duty, if the uunsfac• ' did ast.ohjeet to a free tip/mei' weal, and as Mich 111111 gawk ha emmeived it meld be iajarioes lb the Wends of the agviraltarists, if ha esaseated to MU* si a dear us importation "Aida *meld be a si tzlieeni4o9.lBK &yes . to the lie wield sot wow enter iota tae goners bow far it might be proper threw open the trade in wool ; bet as eireesentames now smed, he esedd Est mason es seek • sonilles as that et taking 41111. a-year from the release et the Y rot a s ...tio n * as were ordered veassaed to li om e edi s ew tli• able 4 agaiwt the Is. solvent Debtors' was Xei MARRIAGE BILL. Os the Order et the nay being moved for the House to resolve itedf ism a Committee oe the Marriage Act Anaesthetist Bill, Tbie Earl of WESTMORLAND rose to state his ob. *bons to that chase of the Bill which went to easel oismiegto amtracted by misers without consent of pe rmits or guardian.. lo masking these objections, which he did ow various jpietteds, it was far from his iateatioa to proemial tiler that valid toad to leases parental authority ; hat so far as that was soamened, be emseader ed the clause altogether nugatory. He trusted Is lived in amenity where the law ought to be tqaallT dealt oat to all persons; bet hers it Went to make a &attraction be tween the rich sad the poor, sad he hoped their Lord ships would serer agree to any law Boerne' as that which was now proposed In the next place, the proposed clause would make a material alteration in the law elan laud. The first maxim of English Legislators, as stated is Magna Clarta, was solsents lege. Anglia nerteri ; that principle should always be acted on, and no law should operate with severity towards any one without the inter vention of *Jury. He wished to know on what groond of necessity this clause was istrodni ed. He bad heard so complaint respecting the law of a are ages • and after Parliament had, is the last Session, di clared t hat fulmar daps should on any account be voidable, he wished to know on what ground such a provision was now to be done away with. The just. provision in such cases, was that of preventing the improper granting of licesees, ac cording to the 102 d Canon of the church, Ile objected to the clause on moral, religious, and legal grounds, and on the ground of its not being likely to answer the in tended purpose. He bad the authority of distinguished ecclesiastics for saying, that those whom Goo bad joined should not be separated ; and was it fit that those who had been united should be separated ? Was it fit that people in a state of civil society should not know.whether they were married or not ? It seemed as if a person pro fessing the Christian religion might marry two-wires in Turkey, or as many as Ise chose in France. during the late Revolution.; but he would put it, whether it was con sistent with decorum to violate the sacred ordinances prescribed by the Christian religion in cases of marriages. After the most solemn ceremony sanctioned by religion and law, was it proper that panics who had come toge ther as man and wife should be separated, as if no mar riage ceremony had taken place, and that their offspring should be exposed to degradation and beggary? He should now come to the legal part of the question. The Bill meant that minors should not marry without consent _of parents or guardian& That was very moper, but bow did this Bill provide against such an inconvenience?— According to this Bill, the offspring of marriage twin& aimed is secret, might be cast off destitute of all the rights of leitiltisate birth ; and all this might be done independ ent of the trill of the parties, and upon the instigation of other parties. Besides, there might be cases in which a guardian gave consent, and if it should afterwards turn out that he was not legally a guardian according to the Act of Charles 11, that consent was null and void, and the marriage would he dons away. In the nest lilacs it would be impossible to ascertain from this Hill what con sent was, and whether that which the parties considered to be consent, could afterwards hold good. Now. he wished to knoo whet was to be the state of the husband durieg this temporary occupation of a female. Here the LORD CH.INCELLOR rose to speak to order. The question before the House was, whether the Bill should be committed? if any Noble Lord wished to propose a new clause, he might, in the pre tent stage, move an iostruction to the Conuniitee to in ' troduce such a clause; but when a clause already in the Bill was to be opposed, the pr pe • stage to object to it was when the Bill came into a lAtermit•ee, and there never was any instance of an instruction given to a Committee to leave out clauses that were already io a I Bill. — ..Cord WESTMORLAND—Then I shall object ti the House going'into a Committee on the Bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGH conceived that it retie as competent to any Noble Lord to more the rejection at . the insertion of any clause. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, sold the question was merely one of save ; and the usage of -Parliament .was sueb as huh breaspsaiilfd by his . Noble and Lew ned Friend on the The-Earl of HIIIItOWBY ermined himself to the nine effect. Lord WESTMORLAND proceeded. He wished to know what right a husband whose marriage was likely to he disputed, could have over the property of the wife; and what was eventnally to become of that pro• petty? What was to be the case of a trustee wbo in virtue of a marriage should sell property by the Aim. tion of the husband ? Was he to be responstble ? Was the Bank liable to make good property sold out of the funds? And if an estate was sold, by direction of the husband, was the purchaser of that estate to give it up on the marriage being invalid sted ? Fathers and guardians under such a law might commit acts of tue greatest cruelty and injustice; it would aSord them a pretext for the grossest invasions on the property of others. Then so far as rel ant to the prevention of im proper marriage& the law would. be completely nuga tory ; for if the parties were determined to live together, they might be married again in Scotland or in France, Then the only effect of the law 10/0111.! be, to enable men to act fraudently, and profligately, to obtain pos session of the propertyof females, or. of their persons; and then to desert them in an unprincipled and 'crivej saner. these grounds he should object to the 11.11 Wes. this o4en.eteas done away. Lord 13146N1/OROUGH saw he should not object to the Houses gang into a Committee ; but he shoo Id oppose the Bill altogether if it out of the Commit-, tee with the clause in question. • • Lord WESTMORLAND said lie was ready to give up his opposition to the Bill going into a Committee. Lord POWEItSCOURT said a few words which were inaudible below the bar. The house then febolved itself into a Committee. • Lord ELI:ENI3OROUthI said lie wishr t l to call the att•ntion of the Right Reverend PreLars to the cause which authorized the publication of banns in chapels. The Di*loop of eilEsTEtt said that this clau.e rustle It compulsory on the incumbent to authorize the pabli fatiou of banns jn chapels; he thought it better.to have t►at peremptory part out of the Bill, es one that en croached do the rights of the incumbent; and be moved an amcatlinent to that effect. Earl ROSSLYN said lie was desirous that the diScussion be that clause might be adjourned to another day. The Earl of LIVERPOOL objected to any adjourament; and approved of going into the then. The Bishop of CHESTER opposed the clause, sob ct la. his opinion was contrary to the spirit and tenor of the Christian faith The words of Scripture were expliet " Let not man put asunder those whom Goo has join ed." The D.lsine Law also said that man should not put sway his wife hut for the crime of adeltery. The con clestots to which most persons came on that subject was, that marriages were !poi; when conformable to the laws of GOD, and the laws of man. Those latter were cilantro able, but the laws of GOD were fixed and eternal. He would, therefore, adhere to those permanent laws. He would consent to any penalties, or punishment of ti , e guilty parties. It was with surprise that he heart the clause again submitted to the eonsideratioo of their Lord ships, after the repeated discussions which were had on it last Session. That vacillation of opinion was not credita ble to their Lordships. No man ass less inclined to glass offence than he was, but he should repeat that it was with something approaching to astonishment, that he saw that clause offered again, because he was of opinion that those whom GOD joined, man should not separate. The LORD CHANCELLOR sopported the clause: No one denied the propriety of adhering to the laws of GOD, bet If one was to rely on those laws alone, he would no longer live in this country. Before the year 1756, the consent of the parties was all that was neces sary to a valid marriage, and by the doctrines of the Bight Rev. Prelate, all the previous marriages only were goo 1, because they were according to the laws of Goo. But the question for their Lordships' solution was, whom did lion join? There was nothing, as far as he could find in the Gospels, which forbid the Na tional Association from prescribing' rules and forms of marriage. They had a right to define in what mods marriages were to be solemnized. He besought the Right Rev. Prelate to reconsider the dangers of the dactrine which lie laid down. By inference tetras that do :trims, ns marriage since 1;56-was a good marr.age. I hey had a right to guard against female, as well as male seducers, for hr could find many cases in which females wre the seducing parties. If the ductrire of the Right K d. Prelate was to prevail, not only that clause, but niue-tenths of the Bill ought to be left out. The Bishop of CHESTER explained .that• what he said. was that every marriage made according to the laws of man was good, unless when oppond to the laws of O.:D. The Earl of LIVERPOOL sail that Aar the fullest consideration, be was of the saine opinion which he ex press d last year, and that ni to the inexpediency of making marriages dissoluble. His objections to the clause were not so much in a religious as in a motel point of view. The Legislature had a right to prescribe forms, which the parties were to comply with. In other clauses of the Bill it was laid town that itnless • mar riage was solemnized in the House of GOD, it DU no marriage. In all countries it was competent for man to lay down the regulations of marriage, and to say what form was to be followed. On moral grounds as well as expediency, the Legislature hail a right to prescribe the forms. He ohjeeled to the principle of the chose: 'There were two means suggested to prevent clandestine marriages, one was by absolute nullity, unless this forms were complied with, the second was by voile. bility. He objected to the latter, because the ohji-ce aimed at would not be effected. They first idling I the marriage at the altar, and then they came and declared it void. They allowed the parties; to offer up the vow at the altar, and afterwards left them in suspense far twelve months whether tney were married or not. If mar , riages were to be dissoluble at all, Lis opinion was that they should be sn dissolved by a nullity, and riot by making lie n vui lable. The parties formerly *ent in a chaise and four and crossed the Tweed, but now they ' had a cheaper conveyance by steam. It would be•betteP to declare those marriages null at once, than suffer them to be contracted, and then proceed to avoid them. The clause was also directed against tnarriag'es by licensesi and yet all the instances of clandestine marriages which came within his knowledge were marriages by banns. Leaving open marriages by banns, leaving open Scodaoli leat:ng open the steam-boats, he would ask whi. good was in their provisions? When the tuArriage was com , pfeted, there was uo mending the matter by dissol►ing it. It would he better the the parent or gua7dian to ha►e no choke in such a case, because such a choice as proceed , inz to a dissolution of such a marriage, would be a pain. fel responsibility. lie could contrive no reason for the elitism, but he fully concurred in the clan.e inflicting pe nalties, and deprivation of property, on the parties who married aithont the consent of parent or guardian. He was satisfied the House would agree with him that tins ought to do all in their putter to prevent clandestine mar. rages, but when such inarri iges are coLupleteJ, it would be best to leave them so. Viscoant POWERSCOURT opooeed the eansft. The Archbishop 0! CANTERBURY expressed a hope that their Lordeips would not be sdrpriben if he felt some uneasiness at the oppositiuu to the cause, hi the introdve- Hon of which in t. e Committee he was instrumental. He was not crost;uately welded to the clause, bat if their Lord. ships wished to maintain any parental antho,ity, they.onght ,to adopt it. If they threw out that clause, :My at Goa
