HOUSE OF LORDS, MAT 4. ria S g e e v ß er i a ll l — pe vi t z it . i , o b n y s twheerenpisrhesoepnot against the Unitarian Mar of New Sarum; f ed SALISIIITRY, from the Clergy By the Bishop of CHESTER, from the Clergy of the City and County of Chester; from the Clergy of Borough bridge, in Yorkshire ; from the Clergy of Bolton-le-moors ; from the Clergy of Rochester; and from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the diocese of Bath and Wells. A petition in favour of the Bill was presented by Lord DacnE, from a place in the county of Cambridge. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from the Churchwardens, Overseers, and other inhabitants of the parish of Clerkenwell, praying for the Abolition of Slavery. The Earl of CARNARVON presented a petition from a number of Inhabitant Householders of Hampshire, against the Assessed Taxes. . The Earl of LIMERICK presented a petition from the Judges, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of Mayo, against the Repeal of the Bountles'on the Exportation of Linen and the Transit Duties onForeignllinen. SILK LAWS. The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose to call their Lordship's attention to a bill which he meant to introduce for the repeal of certain laws relative to the Silk-trade. The bill he would sub mit to their consideration was the same as that which last ses sion of Parliament had passed the Commons, and come before their Lordships from that House, with the, exception of the manner in which the Irish acts were recited. The present mo ment was most favourable for proposing the present measure, as those persons who were last year the principal supporters of the restrictions on manufactures and trade had now abandoned their opinions. Ile might, therefore, have proposed this bill without saying a word on the subject, were it not that he thought it right to account for his own- conduct in introducing it at this moment, by adverting to the change of opinion which had so generally taken place. If he was at all rightly informed with respect to the sentiments of the journeymen of Spitalfields, they would rather see all the laws on the subject of the silk trade repealed, than experience the operation of an act which relieved the master from the necessity of employing the whole of his capital. He certainly did not share the opinion of those persons who thought that the bill passed this session would pro duce the total destruction of the silk manufactures, but he agreed with those who would prefer the repeal of the whole re strictions at once to allowing the period fixed by the bill. The little knowledge he had of the silk-manufactures was sufficient to convince him of this. He knew that the manufacturers looked up to the demand of the months of February, March, and April, as conclusive of the state of trade. Hence it fol lowed that the first experiment which was to take place under the new act in 11126, would be made at the same time as the . French importations. The Earl of HARROWBY said a few words relative to the proceedings with respect to the former bill which had passed on the report of a-committee : lie also questioned the extent of the alteration in the opinions of the Spitalfields journeymen. The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that the report of the committee was in favour of the bill of last session. A§ to whether the opinions of the journeymen had changed.or not, it would be sufficient for him to refer to the appearances of the neighbourhood of that House, He would ask their Lordships whether they had that day seen army thing like the assem blage of persons which the proceedings of last year, or even of the commencement of the present session, had occasioned. It was certain, that the opinions of the friends of restric tions out of doors, as well as of their supporters in Parlia ment, had undergone an alteration:—The bill was then read a first time. Lord CA RBERY presented a petition from the High Sheriff and inhabitants of the County of Cork, -against the repeal of the Linen Bounties. UNITARIAN MARRIAGE BILL. The 'Marquis of LANSDOWN moved that this bill be now committed. The Bishop of CHESTER, in justice to his own feelings and the importance of the question, thought it necessary to say, that after giving his most anxious attention to the subject of this hill, lie was only the more confirmed in his opinion that the Unitarians had no reasonable grounds for their objections to the marriage ceremony. The words in question were the words of S cr ipture, the word s of our blessed Lord himself, and could not he altered without compromising the doctrines and the dignity of the-Establiahed Church. That the Unitarians had objecting to the words-used in the marriage ceremony from this circumstance--that they them selves adopted the same word s i n t h e i r b a pti s mal ceremony. If t n o wars evident for . any Noble bord would simew him any just reason for the objec tion of the Unitarians, lie wottld give his consent to the bill.— w ni o rl i g at t i ll . v be w - o w rd an s ti w ng as in what was due to then Iris Church opinion, o f indispensable, for ha dignity if she did not take eve ry proper opportunity to de ainysG been hrist The character of the. Church that of a tolerant church, and he admitted that their Lo rd ships oclfa England w o li a a n t d h ielrodfa always w i were called upon to grant liberty of worship to all sects; hut the Church was not therefore to be required to give up her doctrines and discipline. If the mar riage ceremony was to be altered, it was not easy to see what might be the consequence of such encroachments. If one stone was to be removed after another, what would become of the building ? li e trus ted that their Lordships would not agree to any infringement of the doctrines and discipline of the Church of England—of a church time interests of which were so closely and inseparably interwoven with the best interests of the State. Convinced that the liberty or . conscience was not violated with respect to the Unitarian-by the law as it at present existed, he should oppose the motion for now committing the bill, and move that it be committed this day three months. The Bishop of EXETER was of opinion that persons who did not believe in certain doctrines ought not to be compelled to join in ceremonies depending on those doctrines, and would therefore vote for going into the Committee forthwith. In the Committee he should wish to propose some amendments, the object of which would be to assimilate the Bill as much as pos sible to the act for-amending the Marriage Act which passed last session, with respect to the prevention of clandestine mar riages, by imposing certain penalties. He would also propose an amendment on time subject of registration of marriages.— He thought that the Unitarians ought to be allowed to keep their own registers. • The Bishop of St. DAVID'S supported the amendment moved by the Bishop_ of Chester, but spoke in so low a tone of voice that it was difficult to - collect even a sentence or two of what he said. He observed, that the doctrines to which the Unitarians objected were those of the majority of Christians, and what all members of the Church of England must consider to be essential to Christianity. He could not consent to the giv ing up of a point of so much importance, which involved the denial of the doctrine of the Trinity. The Scriptures them selves might as well be objected to as the marriage-service of the Church of England. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said it was certainly true, as had been observed, that the Unitarians denied the doctrine of the Trinity ; but he wished those who opposed the Bill to consider -well what it was foA which they contended.— Was it their wish to enforce a seeming acquiescence in doctrines against the consciences of men ? The consequence of main taining such a practice must be, that ceremonies would be ad ministered-in one sense, and received in another. What was this but a system of the grossest prevarication ? For these rea sons he was desirous ofseeing this Bill in the Committee, where it might receive such' corrections as it was susceptible of. The Bishop of ST.•DAvtD's and the Archbishop of CAN. E un HY interchanged a few words in explanation. . The Marquis of LANSDOWN stated, that a complete mis apprehension prevailed out ofthe House of the purpose of .the Bill, and of time law of the country. It had been said, that • the law should be allowed to remain in the same state as it was in the reign of King William ; but it should he known that, if it had remained in that state, there would have been no occa sion for the Dissenters to ask or obtain relief. It was only through an innovation in that law. by the Act of Lord Hard wieke, commonly called time 26th of Geo. 11., that the Dissenters were placed under the-difficulties which now forced them to come forward. That Bill, instead of being a measure to pro- cure religious assent, had for its object to prevent clandestine marriages, and it was the provisions enacted for that purpose which had subjected Dissenters to -the necessity of giving an implied ascent to doctrines which they did not hold. It was now proposed to relieve , -them, not by altering the Liturgy, • not by any concession on the part :of the Church ,of England, but by a mode which put them to all the trouble and . expence of the measure. He had listened in vain on a former occasion to the Noble and Learned Lord on the WoolsaCk to hear whether the Unitarians were offenders against the lais s "; but he knew that in Courts of Justice a clear distinction had always been made between them and those who manifested a-blasphe mous intention to destroy Christianity. Ni - hat Would their Lordships think when he should state.that what had been repre sented as a blow to the Established Church, had existed for ears in the Church of Ireland, which was the same as that of 'ngland, only that the privileges enjoyed by Dissenters in that country were much more extensive. For by the A cts of 1781, con firming one of Geo. 11. all marriages celebrated by Dissepters in Ireland were valid. At the time that Act had been - pasiezi by the Irish Parliament there was indeed a Protest, signed by several Bishops, but it was on a principle exactly the reverse of the opposition offered to the present Bill ; for its ground of objection was that the Act -did not sufficiently assimilate Jae a m o a d r r i e s a t a g e b s l s o hi their isse n r i t g e r h s t s t . o F t h r o o s m e the the em Church omeot it of w a s England, granted that Unitarians might marry, he could see no difficulty in grant ing the relief which they claimed, and the Church of England ought to disdain exacting a simulated admission of her tibc trines. To encourage equivocation was unworthy of a Chris tian and of a Protestant Christian. The Noble Marquis then expressed himself disposed to agree to the amendments which the Noble-Earl opposite (Liverpool) had suggested on a former occasion and made the condition of his support, and to that announced by a Right Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of Exeter) that very evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not agree to the motion for going into a Committee. He did not mean to say that it was impossible to frame a Bill for the relief of the Unitarians, but that the present Bill was founded on a principle which he, as the protector of the Established Church, could not possibly sanction. Should this country ever lose its Established Church, toleration would lose its best protection. It was for the interest of the Dissenters themselves, therefore, that he protested against any thing which might have a tendency to degrade the Church of England. The Noble and Learned Earl then referred to the Bth of King William and the Scotch Act, the severities of which against Unitarians were abhor rent to him, to !thew that their repeal had not entirely let loose the professors of that doctrine, as it had been ima gined. He averred on his honour, that the individuals who had introduced the repealing Bill had no such views. He then alluded to a case which had come before him, in which Sir S. Romilly had pleaded that the repeal only extended to those persons who dissented from the Church, anti that the Statute of King William, representing the Unitarian doctrine as contrary to the Christian religion, its professorsstood on a different ground from Dissenters, and were not rescued like them from the operation of the law. On this point he trusted he had been justified in refusing to decide. From the allusion made to what had passed in Ireland it was pretty clear to do the same for all Dissenters in this country. Indeed if the present Bill were passed in behalf of the Unitarians, their Lordships could not re fuse a similar favour to other Dissenters. This was said to have been done for the Jews and Quakers ; but what was the real case? What had been done for them in 1756 ? A clause had merely been introduced to say that the Bills then passed did not apply to them. Would the Unitarians be content with such a Bill ? If so, let them have it. But the effect of the state in which the marriages of Jews and Quakers were left tended to create doubts respecting legitimacy, and he had been so constantly occupied for the last eighteen days in investigating a case of that nature, and listening to arguments which their Lord ships would undergo half the tortures of the Inquisition rather than to hear, that he thought it would be proper to introduce a Bill to provide expedient regulations, and to settle the ques tion. If lie understood the doctrines of the Established Church, it was impossible that a greater difference should prevail on any point than that which existed between it and the Uni tartans. They must consider its professors to be idolaters ; and was an lfnitarian to go to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and to tell him, " You hold the doctrine of the Trinity, which Ae ampleN t would thatsls ocdcoionitsirssitititp!riei. uxoaayfinenti eadit soienaxdattki istemnfichgo:alni:on:::elticrtllihhty; til a eent i d dli i gtse e attaadii to deeply as I say is idolatrous, give me your authority to contract mar riage?" The whole Bill tended to enlist the Church of Eng land in the service of the Unitarians. If they chose to place themselves in the situation of Jews and Quakers, let it be done ; but let not the Church of England be mule their hand maid. He had now done his duty, and discharged himself of all personal responsibility. If their Lordships chose to pass the measure, let them do so ; but he had no hesitation in say ing that it would be the worst Bill that they would have ever passed. iai o f p Ote e rL ned on his way to the House a volume of that h debate, el o ia rd la g wßam o iwai n irni yc e a iebt: o rgl n teaohta a teen. ti, f hrd o l at Lordshipsr former tie e igu ir sauntering t g w l l whom with the question before them. It was this :—Cowper being at h al e c o a n ll g ed th S e a s i as he walked on the sand. He wished to know the object of his meditations, accosted him, and asked him what lie was thinking of ? when the other replied, that he was considering how so dimi nutive a production as a sprat could come from so great and unwieldy an element. He (Lord H.) took the converse of the proposition, and wondered how the present miserable Bill, that sprat in legislation, could have excited so much attention, so much alarm, as even to bring the powerful mind of the Noble and Learned Earl on the Woolsack into action. He should recommend to that Noble and Learned Lord in point of policy not to ery " wolf" at every mouse. Any stranger entering their walls would be surprised to hear that the only question after all was, whether the Unitarians should be allowed to marry as they did before 1756, or as they did now in Ireland ! The Noble Lord then complained that some Right Rev. Pre lates, taking upon themselves to explain the scruples of others, had asserted that the Unitarians could feel none on that occa sion. He knew no better way of judging of the feelings and scruples of other men than their own professions. He con tended that if the Unitarians employed the same words as the Liturgy, they employed them in another sense, and only on the occasion in which they had been used by our Lord Jesus Christ. To say that they need not take them in the sense in which they were uttered at the altar was to encourage the worst kind of preyarication. The Noble and beamed Earl had said that the Church of England would be turned into the hand maid of Dissenters if she registered their marriages. What was she when she not only registered their marriages but per formed the ceremony ? Was she not more than their handmaid ? did she not prostitute herself to their service ? Yet this was her office as the law now stood. The Noble Baron then alluded to the refusal of the Noble and Learned Earl on two former occasions (the discussion on the Alien Bill, and that on the Bill forsonfining Napoleon Buonaparte) to explain who were aliens, and whether Napoleon was a prisoner of war. Rut now when the question was to pass a little act of indulgence, he had no hesitation in crying out " Stop !" and not'stiffering one step in indulgence to be taken. lie (Lord II.) supported the Bill, not only because it would give the Unitarians the, re lief to which they were entitled, but because it did not take one privilege from, or add one burden to, ,the Church of England. The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not conceive one scintilla of ground op which the present Bill could be injurious to the Church of England. It would only replace the Unitarians in the situation in which they stood antecedently to Lord Hard wicke's Act. He agreed with the Noble Baron opposite that the scruples of others were to be judged accordins to their feelings. Those which the Unitarians entertained with respect to the BePediction he perfectly understood,' by considering how he would like to receive a blessing in the name of Jupiter, 111ahomet, or any other god or prophet in whom he did not be lieve. Provided it could be done with proper securities against clandestine marriages and fraud, he should see in principle no objection to letting Dissenters be married according to their own rites, provided both parties should be Dissenters, for it was there that he wished to draw the line of distinction. As to the Act of 1812, it was passed by Parliament to relieve the Unitarians from the difficulties and dangers to which they were subjected by the state of the law up to that period, and had been hitherto so understood. If any doubt had since arisen, in justice to them it ought to be immediately corrected.— His Noble and Learned Friend said, put the Unitarians on the same footing as the Jews and Quakers ; this was a question for the Committee, as well respecting the registry of marriage. He did not think it a wise policy in those who wished, to sup port the Church of England to strain every measure into a question of danger.

Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said that his opinion was very ma- , terially changed with regard to the Bill since its introduction to the House. This change had been etrected by the reketnn-- tations of those most interested in the subject, and he should therefore hesitate before he gave it his support. Mr. HUME did not believe the alarm of the petitioners 0 be well grounded. Sir J. WROTTESLEY chiefly objected to the plan, be-- cause it would throw a large quantity of sour flour into the home market, and obstruct the sweet wheat from coming into it. Mr. CRIPPS said he did not feel the objections which had been made to the measure, or he certainly should not give it hi." support. Mr. HUSKISSON deprecated discussions of this nature upon the presentations of petitions, when the subject was before . the House in the form of an order. 111 r. DENNIS BROWNE declared his intention to oppose the Bill. Mr. T. WILSON thought the Bill would be prejudicial to the Landed Interest, and that it had some other object than was allowed to meet the eye. After a few words from Mr. CCRTIS, the petition was order ed to be printed. ORANGE AND RIBBON SOCIETIES. Mr. J. S.MITII had to present a petition ofrather a singular character, as it came from parties who had 'seldom dared to approach that House with a complaint of their grievances. The petitioners were poor farmers ani peasants of the county of Westmeath, and they complained of the existence of certain political Societies in Ireland called Orange Men and Rilib(A men, who disturbed the tranquillity of the country, and com pelled the petitioners, against their will, to become partisans on one side or the other. The Hon. Member stated his belief, that since the law for preventing the administration of secret oaths was passed, the Orange Societies had become more nu merous. This system must perpetuate division and discord in the country, because wherever an Orange Lodge was establish.. ed, a Society of Ribbomnen was sure to follow. He wished the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs had been in the House, because he remembered having heard him upon a former occa sion, when out of office, express a very strong opinion against the existence of these Societies, and denounce them with that eloquence for which he was so remarkable. With the exception of two or three signatures of landed Gentlemen the petition came from poor farmers and labouring men. It was seldom that they had approached the House_either with their grievances or their prayers, and he was glad to see them come forward fer any d sincerely u] the first time with such a request as that of putting down the causes which that disturbedhe hadtheir e v peace r and esen tranquill ity. presented the he prayer of He could class of men with greater satisfaction to the House. He be lieved that the greatest and most afflicting evils to which Tre land was exposed, arose out of the fierce contention of these Societies. It had lately been declared from the Bench, ,that the country could not expect repose until they were effectually put down. It had been his intention to submit some measure with that view to the House, but he hoped to see the question in abler and better hands. . . Sir J. NEWPORT expressed his satisfaction at seeingsuch a petition before the House from this class of the people. It was time that all these associations were put down, and'he was firmly of opinion that no peace would exist until that end was effected. Ills Hon. Friend had truly said that such had, been the opinion lately delivered from the justice seat in Iceland._,. The Learned Judge in question :uldressed the Grand JOY, and ing Orange Societies, to he that of creating hostile s et.,ir, reminded them that he had 'foietold the consequence _and that now his predictions were verified, and that _l!ew(ssir J.
