A Message from the Commons brought up the Silk Manu facturers' and Ireland Law Office? Compensattoq Dills, which were read a first time. MARRIAGE LAW. On the further consideration of the Report on the Marriage Law Bill, The LORD 'CHANCELLOR proposed a clause in place of that which at present stands in the Bill, by which all pro perty acquired by means of a marriage solemnized contrary to the act by fraudulent means, shoold be forfeited. The clause which he now proposed, was to extend the penalties to mar riages by bans as well as by licence. He would also propose a shorter period than three years, for the legal proceedings to commence. At present, he would move that the clause be printed, and the Report further considered on Monday. The Earl of 'WESTMORLAND agreed to the course pro. posed by the Noble and Learned Lord, though, from what he could perceive of the clause, it would not remove any of the objections which he entertained to the principle on, which it was founded. The Marquis of LANSDOWN gave notice, that at a very early period of the next Session of Parliament, he should bring in a Bill to relievelhe Dissenters from certain grievances of which they complained in the solemnization of marriage. PRISONS' LAW CONSOLIDATION. On the motion of Lord SID3IOU Til t the House went into a !ommittee on the Prisons' Laws', Consolidation Bill.. On the clause which authorizes Magistrates to order a pri. soner into close confinement for a month, for any breach of the discipline of the prison, Lord%BIDMOUTII remarked, that by this clause the power of inflicting corporal punishment by the gaoler, which had been sanctioned by three Acts of Parliament, was repealed. This power he considered absolutely necessary in some cases; as where an offender was committed to prison; and to be kept to. hard labour. :There had been examples of persons so commit ted, who had absolutely refused to comply with their sentence till rendered tractable by the threat of corporal punishment. On such persons, and on convicted felons, be should therefore pro pose, that the power of. inflicting corporal punishment should be given to the gaolers under the orders of the Magistrate. Ilia Lordship concluded by .e.oving an'amendment to that effect. Lord DAME:said,. he had come down with the intention of opposing-the clause, but as the Noble Lord had now consider. ably altered ir from that which he bad proposed in the Commit= tee, he (Lord Dacre) -didnot now feel much repligaance to agreeing with the Noble Lord's Arnendmerit ;* though he cer:. tainly should have been better satisfied if the liability to cor poral punishment had been confined to persons committed to hard labour., ass means of , compelling them to undergo !heir. sentence. It appeared •to hint that if inflicted on convicted felons, it would be w punishment additional to their sentence. ' Lord.SIDMOUT II said across the table..-" But for new offence." Lord DACRE said, .that taking it to be so, it would. be punishment inflicted not according to the law of the land, by a vertliet.of , a inty, bttt by the decision of a single liagistrate. bad SIDMOUTII explained, and defended the application of ,c,orporal punishment to convicted felons, who were in many 11A111 LTA DUTIE:S. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committeeon this Bill. 31r-IIERNA.I. objected to the proposed alteration of the duties. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that ho thought the most convenient course would be to state in Com mittee the grounds of the measure. The House then resolved itself into a Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he did not intend to lay on a permanent duty on Fiorillo for the purpose Of encouraging the manufacture of /Kelp. There were, however, considerations in the present case worthy the often titer of the House. The reduction on the duties of Barilla last year took place at the end of the Sessions, and when per sons interested had not an Opportunity of stating their objec tions. The representations that had been made from all quarters with respect to the terrible distress that would fall on the manufacturers of kelp, were such as he owned had.a strong influence on his mind. There were 'eighty or one hundred thousand persons concerned in the trade. He owned he pro posed the measure not on principle, but on the ground of com passion for those persons. The reduction of the 'Salt duties was of advantage to the public at large, but to those persons was of great injury; they had, therefore, a fair claim on the justice and feeling of Parliament and - the country. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by stating, that his proposal was, that the duty on .I.larilla should be raised from five to eight guineas, to begin in January, 1024, and to continue for five years, and moved a Resolution accordingly. Mr. DENISON suggested the propriety of inserting a clause giving time to Soap-makers to receive consignments of Hernia. Mr. CAMPBELL condemned the uncertainty of the laws respecting florins. The Hon. Gentleman pressed upon the House the necessity of continuing in employment the popula tion engaged In the manufacture of Relp. Mr. CAI.CRAF'r felt called Upon to support the proposed alteration of duties, although he did not think the duties would give to the manufacturers of kelp the advantage they sought for; yet to soothe the feelings of the population engager in that business, to relieve them if possible from the distress, f rom the misery which they were likely to suffer ' which he fear e d i n many instances they had suffered, h e would support the pro posed measure. Mr. K. DOUGLAS thought the measure was pressed on too rapidly ; ho thought it would b e b ettet to defer the discus sion of it till the next Session ; he did not think that the kelp manufacturers would suffer any material injury in the mean time. Lord A. HAMILTON mid, that much of the injury that had been done had been occasioned by the weak andevacillat ing policy which had been pursued with respect to those duties. Ile could not agree with the Hon. Gentleman as to the pro. priety of delay ; on the contrary, lie thought that the immure could not be pressed too rapidl y . Mr. RICARDO controve rte d some argument§ which heti been printed and circulated hy the opponents of the proposed additional tat. At the end o f fi ve years, when t hi s l aw wou l d e expire, the same reasons would exist for its renewal. Ile was opPosed to lempOrising exp e di ents such ax the present. . Mr. T. WILSON said a few words against - the . increase of the duty. . • Mr. J. P. GRANT suppo rte d t h e propos i t i on . Mr. H. GURNEY said it was A monstrous thing merely for an imaginary benefit to k e l p tnanti flicturers to Mipole a duty on one of the most nece ssary art i c l es of life, namely h e a p. , Mr. - MARRY/I.IV strongly censure d the variable and weak policy out of which the, embarrassments of the present queethi n grew. . Mr. lIITAIE said, that since the duty on barrilla had been taken off the price of kelp had risen in • the market.'if in. a Committee up stairs, the Chancellor of the Exchequer could, make out his case, he certainly would support him: He clid not stand there to. support any particular' interests, and he could not therefore sanction th e p ro p o sed increase of duty from b to ii guineas. Lord V. GOWER said that he felt himself bound to support the proposition of the. Chancellor of the Exchequer. • - • Lord DINNIG said he agreed with the Clutncellor of the Excheitter, who put,the question on the ground of humanity— there was interested in this question the population of a line of coast not less than 704 miles--he would support this measure, which was one ofjustitt, in opposition to the cold rules of po. litical economy. sGeneral HART supported the proposition, which he contd., xidered necessary for the support of a great part of the popula. - don of the North of Ireland. Mr. G. BENNET thought previous inquiry absolutety necessary. • Much had been said on the score of humanity, but there was a great deal of self.interest mixed up with that appeal. The property in Kelp manufactured had doubled since 179:1, whilst every other' of property had decreased. lie bad a suspicion that this case, if investigated, would 'turn out to resemble the casesof the Scilly Islands, which had been brought under consideration some years ago, and h a d ta k en it large sum out of the pockets of the people of this country.; Mr. 141`DONNELesupported the motion.

BtlEit BILL. noTwh re e ct 4i v u et es i tion being put that the Report pf the J i m , f i li f be Alc. DENISON complained of the clause of the Dill which ceMpelled the Brewers of Table' Beer, who would necessarily be injured by this measure, from making the medium descrip tion of Beer without erecting new premises. This enactment he considered most unjust and oppressive. TIN Table Beer Brewers were ready to submit to any penalties to guard the Re. venue from any infringement of the laws, which was far from their thoughts. The Bill accompanied by this clause was so objectionable that he should wish to see it put off' to another Session, when a Committee might be proposed to take into con sideration the condition of the Beer trade in general: Ile moved as an Amendment, that the Report be received this day three months. Mr. MABERLEY concurred in thinking the Bill most un fair upon the Brewers of small beer, whose only wish was to be enabled to retain the bushiest; they carried otr without the great and needless expense of erecting new premises. Indeed he could not conceive that any persons would go to the expellee of erecting new premises in this experiment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The whole state of the trade required inves tigation. He should next SessMn move to repeal all the duties on beer, which would put the poor who bought their beer from the brewer on k level with those who brewed their own beer. The duty increased the price of beer to the consumer Id. .per pot. Mr. MONCK said, the Bill as it stood gave satisfaction to no one. The new sort of beer was only epe-sixthstronger than the present table beer (i.e. instead of stx,', five barrels were t o be 'brevked from a qu a rte r ), an d with this small -increase of quality there was an increase of 150 per cent. duty; from 2s: to 55.. a barrel. If,it were allowed to brew beer at Mur barrels .a quarter, sound beer could be brewed. With this alteration he would suppornhe Bill ; as it stood he must oppose it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the re strictions on brewing in the same premises different kinds of beer t 'paying different duties, were necessary to prevent frauds upon the revenue and the consumer, by mixing them. Au to the proposed change from five to four barrels a quarter, it would absolutely ruin the porter brewers, whose beer would be scarcely superior in quality, and who would remain-charged with 10s. a barrel. r. BERNAL opposed the Bill. The precautions against mixing were futile as well as vexatious. Mr. C. SMITH opposed the Bill. Mr. RICARDO thought the Bill would be inoperative, and it 'certainly was very unjust, as it in fact, confiscated the pm perty of the table beer brewers. As to - the idea of preventiOg weak beer being put off on the public for strong, the public might be very safely left to take care of itself. No harm could be done by passing the Bill without the vexatious restrictions at least for a year as an experiment. Mr WODEHOUSE concurred in the opposition to the Bill, and suggested that it should be postponed to the next Ses sion that a full inquiry might take place. MARRYATT wished to know the reason of the arbi. trary distance of 200 yards which was required between one brewery and the Other ? He knew a Brewer who had two pre mises 150 yards distant. The erection of another would cost 10,_obot. • Mr. BERRIES defended the Bill, and thought the re strictions necessary, to secure to the public the fullbenefit of competition, by bringing a new - race of Brewers into the market. - • The Marquis of TITCHFIELD opposed the Bill as it stood, and considered that it would have no tendency to encou rage the brewing of a better sort of Beer, as the bus►ness could not be undertaken except by those who would incur the expence and risk of new buildings for the. purpose. Mr. Alderman' WOOD opposed the Bill, and suggested the removal of the Beer Duty altogether. The House divided : For the Amendment, 26—Against it, 32—Majority, 6. • The Report was brought up. 0p the motion that it be agreed to, • '• • The Marquis of TITCITFI ELD moved, as an Amendment, that the Bill be recomtnitted. For the Amendment, 26—Against it, 36—Majority, 10. The Report was then agreed to. BARON O'GRADY. • Mr. SCARLETT•rose to put a question to his• Hon. Friend the Member for the town of' Limerick (Mr. S. Rice). He hoped that his Hon. Friend would postpone his Investigation of this case till the next Session. If in the mean time the case were to be gone into, he would feel himself bound to op.. pose it. lie hoped, ho wever , that ,hia . Hon. Friend would render that oppo' siuou unnecessary.• • Mr S. RICE would state the rounds upon which he wished' to reply to the question of the Hon. and Learned (7 ientlern". He would bring forward or postpone his motion according might be deemed most conducive to the justice of the case and to the honour. of Parliament. He felt, however, that it was a postponement that ought to have been demanded by the per.. son (Mr. O'Grady) who was most interested. If that • person should desire a postponement of the inquiry, he would of course agree to it. For his own part, he deprecated delay, and wou)d. not agree to it unless it were requested by that lion. Gentle- Titan. He would not force on the discussion of thequestion, but he conceived that those who asked for delay were pledged to the discussion when it did come on. Mr. SCARLET' said, he did not ask for the delay upon ikny private or individual grounds, but upon the justice of the case itself. He would not age from the Honourable Gentleman a single concession. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. O'Grady) who" had been alluded to did not make any request upon the subject. He (Mr. Searlett) had suggested it merely upon the ground that it was both just and . necessary. • Mr. Secretary CANNING agreed with his Honourable and Learned Friend as to the propriety of postponing the discus- Sion. • He would have proposed that the merlts•Of the question should be postponed, but in that -he had been -anticipated by the Iloneurable and Learned Gentleman. He had examined the question, and he was prepared to vote upon SOMO of the propositions of the Honovirable Gentleman, • but there were others upon which, without farther inquiry, he was' not pre pared- to vote, and therefore he thought it had better be post poned till next Session. • Mr. S. RICE said, that if the question were postponed, he could not pledge him s elf to take the burden o f it upon him..L If the postponement wer e f orc ed upon hi m, he would not resist it ; but for the sake both of those within and thoae •without the House, he would sey, that that po s tp onement was n o act anti no wish of hi s . • Mr. Secretary CANNING said a few words in explan a ti on . Sir .L NEWPORT thought the postponem e nt unnecessary. Mr. C. HUTCH INSON said, that it appeared to hirwthat the majority of the House would be for delay. Mr. HUME, though unwillingly,' felt himself obliged to state, that irthe inqUity were not gone , into, the Learned Judge who was the subject of that inquiry, would- haven eer. tali) degree of Winne and Suspicion atta c hed to him ; and this could perhaps be explained away by that Honourable Gentle man, who was mok deeply interested in thosubtect. . - Mr. WETHERELL - argued in favour of the postponement. CoL BARRY thought that the subject . should be investi. gated In sonic shape or other. • Mr. S. RICE said; that if the question were not now taken up, lie would not pledge himself to the bringing of it forward lit M any future perloci. r. Secretary INNING declared himself ready to go On with it now. . . lilt. Martin. (of Galway), Dr. Lushington, Mr. Peel, and Mr. Denman, said each a few words. Mr. 'CANNING repeated his argument for the postpone. merit. of the discussion, on account at the unprepared, state Of the House. lle contended the question was one which it would be highly improper, under arty circumstances, for a Minister t o b r ing for war d, as t h e i n fl uence of the' Giovern-• went in such a case might be supposed to Convert a trial into a persecution.:—He adverted to the cases of Lord Melville and M'arren Hastings, as affording precedent for his opinion, and declared that, if however. the Bon: Member was determined to gu Into the charges immediately, he was ready to-give his vote as an individual. Mr. _WI Lint; R FORCE was in favour of the postponement,' on the ground that many *others of the House had declared that they were not prepared for the discussion. . . Mr. S. RICE e x pr esse d hi s regret that this discussion had taken place, and suggested - that the question should he put Whether the House would go into the 'consideration of the sub-' ject, and if it were not -to Are now eotitidered, to what filmic' time it shintld be postponed. For' his own part he was ready and willing to eater upon the question, but he would abide by the pleasure of the House. • ' Mr. SCAR LETT proposed that the House should proceeil . to the other 'Orders of the Pay. • CANNING suggested that the better mode would 'be to moire the Order of thit - Day, , and to move the postponement et the Inquiry as an Amendment.- • • then'trioved that the 9th Report of the Corn, mistioners of Inquiry in Ireland be entered as read. Mr. SCARLLTT moved, as an Amendment, that the fur. ther consideration of the said Report be postponed Session. HUME opposed the motion, as 'at variance with tle! honour of the House and the ends of justice. Mr. SCARLETT etintended it would be detrimental to public to enter upon the qnestion a t present, and to pt ipitaie a diScussion with respect to the character of a high jittliCiel officer, which could not belollowed up this. Sessiou untlevel“! House was to sit all the summer. Mr. C. HUTCIHNSONIai in favour of postponement. Mr. W. WYNN thought the better mode would he to ret:t the matter again to a 'Committee. Mr.lll. A. TAYLOR urged goirf into the inquiry. WI ::a; W, a Judge was charged with criminality, he ought either to t, - fully acquitted, o r p ro p er ly condemned, with as little loss of time axivasible. Col. BA RRY, unless his Honourable Friend, the Meta z. for Limerick, or some other Honourable Member, would plet4='• himself to bring the subject forward in th e next S asa i on, would not vote for th e postponement of it. Sir J. NEWPORT thought the inquiry ought to be pre.,,- cuted without delay. Why h a d t h ose who said they had 11;;t perused the papers not done so ? Mr. S. RICE stated the various postponements whiCh already taken piuse. Having been so frequently, when• declared-lie was willing to proceed, met by delay, be woul.l not pledge himself to bring the subject forward in the next Session, if it were again postponed. . If it were an accusation against any one of the .ludgea of Westminster would • not every Member of the learned profession in this country do. dare that a postponement of its consideration would be art ;ob. volute denial ofjustice ? • Mr. BENNET observed, that his Majesty's Government were pursuing their usual system, that of endeavouring to shelter any thing that had the appearance of criminality. Ji e trusted, however, that their conduct on this subject would open the, eyes otthe people, and show them what kind of per tions.theywere who would- allow'year after year such cluirws against tOodge of the land to exist without being determined. Mr.,Secretary, PEEL, .with considerable warmth and vehe.. menco, said, he should like to know ut what period of the night the Honourable Gentleman, who assumed so high a tone, came down, and 'ventured to attack his Majesty's Governm ent for conduct which had been fully explain e d. The lion. Moth. ber having- been absent during the whole dischssion, and being, of necessity„fetrfectly ignorant of what had taken place, came into the House at eleven o'clock at night, and accused of ti wish for postponement those who had said that they were zeady to go on, and did not wish to throw any obstacle whatever in the way of inquirye-4Hear, hear, hear !}—All the i n fo r m at i on t h at the Hon.

But, however tat alight be, the Right Honourable Gentleman, in pursuing his fancied advantage, had, like other generals, gone too far, and got into `.the adversary's tire. \lliac was the fact with regard to the con- . duct of .}embers of that House ?
