IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. MR. CARDEN. Lord BROUGHAM said, seeing his noble friend the Lord President of the Council in his place, he begged to ask him a question. It was stated in Dublin that an individual named Carden, who h ad been convicted of one of the worst cases of abduction he bad heard of, was now at liberty, after having been sentenced to two years' imprisonment. It was reported that, in conse quence of ill health, Mr. Car den had been discharged,.. on condition that he was to live out of the United King dom during the remaining period of his sentence of im prisonment. He wished to ask whether that was correct? Earl GRANVILLE said the whole of the facts of the case had been correctly described by his noble and learned friend. In consequence of a medical ceitificate, stating that Mr. Carden was in a declining state of b ea ltb, and that a continued imprisonment would im peril his life, an order was made by the Irish portion of the Government to have Mr. Carden discharged upon the conditions named. The matters wa , , however, under the consideration of the Irish Executive. MARINE MUTINY BILL. On the, motion of Earl GRANVILLE, this bill was read a second time. MUTINY BILL. This bill passed through committee Earl GREY said on the third reading of the Mutiny Bill, he begged to give notice of his intention to ask a question of the Commander-in-Chief, relative to - the sale of commissions in the army. TEA. DUTIES DECLINE SUSPENSION BILL. — his bill passed through committee. EXCHEQUER BILLS (£17,183,000) BILL. Eail GRANVILLE, in moving that this bill be read a third time, begged permission to repeat an explanation hadwhich he already given to his noble friend (Lord Ilionteagle) in answer to two questions which his noble -friend had put to him with regard to the change in the issue of deficienoy bills last year. What he stated in re ply to his noble friend, and which he wished now to re peat in reference to the first question, was, that the law officers of the Crown had been consulted on the subject, and had given an opinion favourable to the course which his right hon. friend the late Chancellor of, the Exche quer adopted. With regard to the second 4uestion, he had stated that the correspondence which had passed between the authorities of the Bank of England and Mr. Gladstone was of a private nature. He had since, how ever, ascertained that though that was in the main cor rects and that the correspondence in question was gene rally of a prive nature, there was one paper which bore something of a public character. Lord MONTEAGLE said that though there might very well be a correspondence between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Bank which ought to be con sidered of a private nature, yet he certainly disapproved of a correspondence, involving great public interests, - being carried on in such a manner as to render the do cuments necessarily private. With respect to the let ters in question, all he would add was, that, if it should eventually appear that neither the Chancellor of the Ex chequer nor the Bank of England had any objection to their production, he (the noble lord) would leave it to her Majesty's Government whether they ought not to be produced. The bill, the third reading of which was now before the house, demanded its most serious attention. It was curious how quietly measures involving great in terests were passed through their lordships' house. That very night the Tea Duties Decline Suspension Bill had been passed through committee in silence, and yet by that bill a reduction of taxes to the amount of 500,0001. a-year would at once be given up. It was, he admitted, • a very necessary measure, but still he could not but re mark on the manner in which it had been allowed to pass through committee. With respect, however, to the bill now under consideration, if their lordships would consider its importance, and the principle upon which it rested, they would see there were few bills that could be brought be fore them of greater importance. If the house was asked what the bill was about, the answer would most probably be that it was the usual Exchequer Bill,which was passed every year. Such was originally his (Lord Montea gle's) own opinion ' • but when he looked into the bill at tentively, he found its scope was far wider—dealing not only with the past and present, but also largely with the future—than any of its predecessors, and that it intro duced a new principle into that branch of finance. The house was aware that the ordinary unfunded debt con sisted of securities by bills, which were given for twelve months, bearing interest, and renewable by other bills, according to such altered conditions as the Chancellor of the Exchequer might think right' to impose. Though the bill, as drawn, seemed to be an ordinary bill for the exchange of Exchequer-bills, it took a much wider scope. When the bill was brought in in the early part of the last session to prepare for the first efforts of war, he thought that those efforts should have been of a more decided character, and shown to foreign countries that we were prepared for a great struggle. It was then stated, with great truth, that whereas some of the ways and means that were then voted would not be in imme diate course of payment, and that as the expenditure would be immediate, it was necessary that application shOuld be made to Parliament to -provide for the tem porary deficiency by Exchequer-bills. That proposition was agreed to by the other house, and acquiesced in by their lordships. At the same time, a great principle was laid down, almost without qualification, that the differ ence between right and wrong was hardly more distinct than the difference of raising money to meet the expenses of the war by annual taxation and by credit or loan. It was under the circumstance of that principle that the Go vernment of the day found it necessary to raise a sum of money to meet the expenses of the war. The sum re quired was 1,750,0001. That amount was raised, upon the understanding that it should be repaid out of revenue, instead of being a permanent debt in the eature of ordi nary bills renewable from year to year. It eas then stated that the expenses of the nor would be met by taxation from year to year—that these bills would be such as to distiagnish them from ordinary bills repre . sentiag a permanent debt—that they would be charge able upon revenue ; and they were told that, when once . the bills were issued, they would hear no more of the matter. It so happened that, by looking to this sum of 17,183,0001., and comparing it with the orinary amount, which was 1e,000,0001. some odd numbers, he found that these bills, which had been proclaimed to be so dif ferent from-the ordinary annual bills exchangeable from year to year, bad been slipped into this bill—(hear) — without notice, without explanation in any shape what ever ; and that they had been converted from short bills, chargeable upon revenue, into what bad been described by a late member of the Government as "permanent in respect—the obligation of renewing them is from •year to year." What he complained of was, the laying down one principle and acting upon the very opposite. (Hear.) The noble lord then read an extract from the work of M. Leon Faucher, called " Essays upon- the Finances of War," in which he had occasion to consider the question of raising the supplies within the year, or by loan—the one course being adopted by England, the other by the Emperor of France. He (M. Leon Faucher) said that the reasoning of Mr. Gladstone, though supported by the great authority of Mills and M'Colloch, was far front being unanswer able. He laid it down as a principle, that when the exigency was trifling it was the duty of the Govern ment to meet the expenses by current taxation ; but upon other occasions, when the'exigency was great, and they were involved in wars which would affect future gene rations as much as, or more, than the present genera tion, it was neither prudence nor justice to throw the whole cost and weight of a national contest upon the annual taxation. He (Lord Monteagle) maintained that • that was the common sense of the case. In '97 Mr. Pitt made a change of his financial policy. He (Lord Monteagle) differed from Mr. Pitt in his financial policy on many points, but he admitted it was impossible to carry on the war with France without borrowing. But we were now approaching the provision to be made for one of the greatest struggles in which this country had been yet engaged—a question as to what amount of de ficiency we may have to provide for. If there be a chance of the doctrines laid down last year being applied to this year, he trembled at the consequences of such an experiment, because he thought it would be a great wrong and a great injustice upon the industrious people of this country. In 1817, during Lord Liverpool's Go . vernment, thera was a model estimate laid before Par liament, which was held to be adequate for the ordinary safety of the country, yet it scarcely exceeded 17,000,0001. The estimates for the present year he bad no means of getting at but what were known to their lordships ; but taking the average supplies for 1851, 1852, and 1853, they were about 21,000,000/. ; the votes for 1854, he believed, were 39,000,0001. ; • while in the present year, without taking into • account the votes for the disembodied militia, - the packet service, or miscellaneous, the vote would be 39,800,0001. ; so that he thought there • ight be a charge of 50,800,0001. And that was only . Ine the active service ; there was not a word about the C hr t ti u d e tte t it a Fund or the diplomatic service ; therefore, sh ould kn ow was of very great importance that th e y t least the principle upon which tho s e sup lies; were riaa e d. (H ee Earl GRAlV't''i,E r. the greatest 'ire admitted this was a subject of port to the whole country. At the same time he felt he hardly need o ff er an apo l ogy th a t he bad not thought necessary to trespass upon the house by a speech, in askin g the m tot give their consent t o a bill enabling the Govern men n t ot o gr r e a m is te an amount of Exchequer-bills, to an amount two e xceptions, than had been annuall y length, brought last 42 years of peace. He was convinced he durin g the bin another lord, in his speech of nearly . an hour's ._ forward no argument against the bill, time h but " u eirstebda‘‘td. tt cite or meet that had existed for someranveilrer„ him an a right hon. friend of his (Lord G place. With reference to the answer . w 1 1) the noble lord bad made to the speech of that right hon. gentle. man, he (Lord Granville) had no idea when he was com ing down to the house what remarks the noble lord was • about to make. But he assumed that the late Chan cellor of the Exchequer laid it down as a rule never - to have recourse to a loan. He (Lord Graioit-ioiluer)abbe lieved the principles laid down by his right bn friend were sound in themselves, and he believed there was an-evil in loans which bad a tendency not only to make the people but the Parliament and the Go vernment more lavish of money than otherwise. He could not admit the doctrine of M. Leon Faucher, be cause at the end of the last war the debt of France was comparatively small to that of England, which was enor mous. It was impossible for him to anticipate what the present Chancellor of the Exchequer might propose to his colleagues, and be even declined to give any opinion on that stamp bill to which the 'noble lord had alluded. The noble lord talked about trembling for the future, but he (Lord Granville) thought, looking to the general ~statt of the trade of the country, looking to the state of THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, MARCH 14," 1855_ our finances, and the prices of the funds at this moment, and having confidence in the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, he believed the present measure was not likely, in the slightest degree, to lead to the disastrous consequences which the noble lord seemed to anticipate. The Earl of DERBY--I must say the noble earl has not given the slightest answer to the objections to this measure raised by my noble friend. My noble friend ' made no attack upon the Government, nor did he allude to the late Chancellor of the Exchequer having, without qualification or reserve, Jail down such a doctrine that, under all circumstances, upon all occasions the exigen cies of the public service should be provided for by taxa tion. (Hear.) But the charge he made was not with regard to the future, but with regard to the past, and with - regard to the declaration of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer that it had been distinctly falsified. Now to those objections of my noble friend the only answer given by the noble earl is, that he is not prepared to say what the present Chancellor of the Exchequer may bring forward, and the noble earl says the amount of Exchequer bills now proposed is not larger by about 100,0001. than was proposed in former year. Now, the amount of Exchequer-bills has nothing to do with it ; the question is, whether in this bill you are not studiously confounding two descriptions of Exchequer-bills, and so practically falsifying the declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer last year ? With regard to Exchequer- Londe, you might just as well say, when a young gen tleman spends about double his income, and he has to raise money by bills, that he has a right to put himself forward aria model of prudence arid frugality. He thought the noble lord and the country had a right to ask whe ther the Government adhered, or pretended to have hitherto adhered, to the principle laid down, that the expenses of the war should be paid out of the revenue of the year, or whether they would be obliged to have re course—under a great national exigency , and during an euorraohs expenditure to be incurred for a great national object—to the same system and take the same course which all previous Governments had taken—to throw a portion, not the whole, of the expenses upon posterity, or to follow the impracticable measure of providing for the expenses of the war out of the revenue of the year ? —whether they would with it in the shape of a permanent debt, or make it a debt spreading over a great number of years, say 20, 30, or 40 years ; or so deal with the expenses as to overwh e l m th e p eo pl e o f thi s co untry ? His noble friend had complained that the Government bad departed from the principle laid down last year, and had endeavoured to conceal that departure • from Parliament ; and, at the same time, he called upon the Government to say whether they intended to I depart from that principle, and to act frankly and hon estly, and to avow and state to the country that they intended to depart from that principle—a principle which he had always considered to be impracticable. The Duke of ARGYLL said—The great question to determine was this—whether the Government laid down last year a great principle in conducting the war from which they would not depart. He denied that that was so. What Mr. Gladstone said was, that it was wrong to rush into the'system of loans at the commencement of the war. He said it would be unworthy of the re sources of the country to resort at once to a system of loans at the outset, and in compliance and in fulfilment of that principle, he asked the Houses of Parliament to consent to a large increase in the taxation. That con sent was given. The dispute which had arisen s e e me d 0 to him to be a ridiculous arid a trivial one—it was as to whether a million or a million and a half borrowed was a loan cr not. He maintained that, if they suc ceeded in proving that this addition of a million and a half to the funded or unfunded debt acquired the cha racter of a loan, it formed no reason for charging the right lion: gentleman with departing from the principle laid down—of raising the amount required by taxation and not a loan. But these speeches, he considered, were anticipatory in their character, and had been made with the intention of extracting from the Go vernment some information respecting the forth coming budget. (Earl Derby dissented.) The no ble earl certainly wished to know if the principle which had been adopted would be departed from during the war. He considered that there had been no departure which could justify the language which had been used—that the policy of the Government was tortuous, or that the Government could be accused of not pursuing the principle laid down la-t year. After a few words from Earl GREY, The bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at ten minutes to seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock NEW MEMBEIL Lord DUNCAN took the oaths and his seat on his re-election for Forfarshire. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time :—Cambridge University and Town, Water ; Lands Improvement Company ; Over Darwen Gas; Pudsey Gas; Taunton Gas; Woolwich Consumers Protective Gas. On the motion for the second reading of the Torquay District Church Bill, Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months, urging that there were existing public acts which could amply pre vide for the deficiencies complained of in this bill. The preamble stated ,no ground whatever why this peculiar species of private legislation should be applied to the Tor quay district,and he hoped thehouse would not sanction the second reading, especially as it would give enormous" privileges to the trustees nominated in the bill. Beside,, the 16th section of the bill gave power to levy church rates in respect to the churches to be erected under the bill, ' tha,the thought was a fatal objection to the passing of this bill, if there was not the additional objection that the ex penses of the bill were to be paid out of the pew rents of the proposed new churches. The bill savoured strongly of a private job ; the new things which it con tained were not title, and the true things were not new. Mr. HADFIELD seconded the amendment, believ ing, that the bill was perfectly unnecessary, as was fully demonstrated, by the fact that eleven of its c!auses wcri copied from existing acts. Mr. BOUVEIUE proposed that the consideration of the bill . should be postponed until Thursday, as the hon. baronet who had charge of the bill was un able to be present to-day. (No, no.) The object of the bill was to enable Sir Lawrence Palk and his son, who was a member of the house, to erect new churches in Torquay, where they were very much wanted. These gentlemen would create a rant charge of 1501. fur the purpose of endowing the churches. It was asked, why do not the promoters proceed under the Church Building Act ? For this simple reason—the Church Building Act provided that the pew rents should be applied, in the first instance, to the pay ment of the clergyman's stipend, but here the stipend was otherwise provided for, and the real object of this bill was to sanction the appropriation of the pew rents, in the first instance, to meet the claims of the mortgagees who might be disposed to lend money for the purpose of building the churches. He moved that the debate be adjourned until Thursday. Sir J. VILLIERS, being the owner of property in the neighbourhood of Torquay, could speak 'train experi ence of the necessity that existed in the" district for ad ditional church accommodation. After a few words from Mr. T. BUNCOMBE, the house divided.un the motion for adjournment, when there appeared— - For the adjournment ll9 Against it . Majority _64 The debate was accordingly adjourned until Thursday neat. PETITIONS. Mr. LOCKE KING presented a petition from the freeholders of East Surrey for an alteration of the law of settlement. Mr. A. PELLATT presented two petitions in favour of the Friendly Societies Bill ; and one from the coopers of the metropolis, and the other from the glass cutters of Manchester. Mr. HADFIELD presented a similar petition from the Shoemakers' Society of Sheffield to the same effect. Mr. WICKHAM presented a petition from the inha bitants of Shipley, in the parish of Bradford, and from Windhill, in the parish, of Calverley, West Riding of Yorkshire, praying for the total prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from a public meeting held in the provinces in favour of the more vigorous prosecution of the war. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented a petition from the trade societies of Bristol in favour of the Friendly Socie ties Bill. Mr. HEYWOOD presented six petitions from clergy men of the Church of England in and near the metro polis, i❑ favour of the legalisation of marriage with the sister of a deceased wife. Mr. MOWATT presented a petition from Cambridge, in favour of summary jurisdiction in cases of petty larceny. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from Southampton, praying for the repeal of taxes on knowledge. Mr. HEADLAM presented a petition from 'West moreland, complaining of the practice of Border mar riages. POLAND. - . Mr. PHINN postponed his motion on the subject of Poland until the 27th instant. THE ARMY. Colonel REED gave notice that that day fortnight he should renew his motion for a committee of inquiry into the practiCe of purchasing commissions in the army. PROVINCIAL LETTER-CARRIERS. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD asked the Secretary of the Treasury, whether any measures were under consideration for increasing the salaries of the provincial letter-carriers? Mr. WILSON said the pay had been increased in the case of Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Bris tol, and an inquiry was now going on, as to the expe diency of making a similar increase in Birmingham and other large towns. practic e Slr . oWf wAitlAhhMoTlSdHLir!EEgYon FASTfast wished days DAY. t o a n pay from all person s it was the tle fast day appointed fur the and holidays l i wp ay e tshaer day's'te who are pa i d by ILi d s zc i l a the employment of Government, so, whether stop a day's pay from the only from the wage s situations.

(Hear, hear.) ARMY SURGEONS. Mr. LESLIE said that as medical men, civilians, were now being sent out by the Government at fabulous 82,_ lanies, he wished to ask whether it was the iny4tioa..Qf Government to raise the salaries of the ill-paid, over worked army surgeons that are now employed with the army in the East and hospitals at Scutari? Mr. PEEL said there was no intention to increase the pay, as army surgeons were entitled to half-pay, and other privileges, when . not in service, which were not enjoyed by the civilians. MARRIAGE 'WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Mr. HEYWOOD moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law as to marriage with a deceased wife's sister or a deceased's wife's niece. Having touched upon the historical part of the subject, the hon. member stated that since 1831, when the act prohibiting these mar riages was passed, it was calculated that . 12,000 widow ers had married their deceased wife's sister, and therefore allowing three children to each family, it gave 60,000 persons who were unjustly dealt with by the existing law. It was said, however, that there was a large body of ladies in this country who were opposed to such mar riazes, but he did not believe it ; he thought the of England were quite disposed to leave the men to take what course they liked best in the matter. (A laugh.) The fact was, the existing law gave rise to much immorality, because those who were prohibited from marrying by the existing law did not hesitate to cohabit together, particularly amongst the lower orders. These marriages were legal on the continent and in America., and it certainly argued ill for the civilization of this country that we were behirn.; almost the rest of the word in this respect. The .Jews recognised these marriages ; so, indeed, did the Scriptures, and there could be no doubt that their prohibition was a curse to society. As, how ever, there was a great deal of prejudice in the northern part of the kingdom upon this subject, he was quite ready-to leave Scotland out of the bill altogether. The origin of the prohibition could be traced to the Greek Church. The Roman Church copied' it from the Greek, and we had copied it from the Romans ; but there was no competent authority for it which men of sense ought to bow to, and since the pro hibition was contrary alike to the law of conscience and the law of nature, he hoped he should be permitted to bring in his bill. Mr. KINNAIRD seconded the motion. Sir F. THESIGER opposed the introduction of the bill. The question was not new, either to the house or the country-; -it had been thoroughly- discussed, on former occasions, in both Houses of Parliament, and the details now offered in justification of reopening the question were insignificant and inconclusive. He agreed that this was a woman's question, and he believed the feeling of the ladies of England was opposed to any alteration in the existing law. No less than 11,000 women petitioned the Queen against the change when the subject was last before Parliament; and believing that the same feeling of opposition still prevailed he must resist this attempt to reopen the question. The com mission which formerly sat upon this subject permitted themselves to become the instruments of those who were favourable to an alteration of the law, and who had been mainly instrumental in procuring the appointment of the commission, and the conse quence was, the preponderence of the evidence was in favour of a change in the law. The majority of the wit-. nesses, however, were directly and personally interested in obtaining the charge, but the other side of the ques- tion, appealing not to a class but to everybody, it met tie.: fate of everybody's Lt.siness nobody looked after it. There could be no doubt, however, that both the jealousy of the laity and the clegry was averse to any change in the law. It was incorrect to say this was a poor man's question. Had it been merely a poor man's question he feared it would not have been taken up with so much spirit. The fact was, however, that marriages of this descrip tion Lad been exceedingly unfrequent amongst the lower classes. He objected to resorting to legisla tion for the sake of re!ieving parties who had knowingly violated the law, not in ignorance of the law, but with their eyes open, and fully aware of the illegality of the marriage they had contracted. He deeply regretted the diversity of opinion which prevailed upon the religious part of this question ; his own opinion was that the 18th chapter of Leviticus directly prohibited these marriages, and, therefore, so far from the Jewish law being in favour of these marriages, it was diametrically opposed to them. The existing state of things previously by which the law was evaded was most discreditable. He thought the hon. gentleman's arguments were•inconsistent with him self. The hon. gentleman said that the Divine law was meant to restrain marriages within certain degrees of consanguinity, as distinguished from affinity, and he referred to the examples of Germany and America, where, he said, a blind and enlarged 'view was taken and acted upon regarding these marriages. He (Sir F. The siger) confessed he was not at all inclined to adopt any such enlarged or liberal views, and professed a strict adherence to the law of God. - (Hear, hear.) What would the hen. gentleman do with the case of Scotland? The hon. member proposed that Scotland should be excepted from the operation of the bill. But why so I If the bill was good for the other portions of the United Kingdom, why should it not be equally good for Scot lead ? The fact was, that the hon. gentleman knew that the feeling of the people of Scotland revolted against marriages of this sort; antrhe knew he would have no prospect of getting the bill read a second time if he included Scotland in it. He (Sir F. Thesiger) hoped, however, that the Scottish members, who were generally distinguished for their caution, would not be deceived by the omission of Scotland from the bill ; for it was quite clear that, if the measure were once to pass without Scotland, there could be no doubt but that it would be extended afterwards to that part of the empire. The hon. member had also proposed, with the view of disarming oppoition, to introduce a provision to pre vent clergymen from being exposed to inconvenience by refusing to perform marriage ceremonies under the act. This showed the weakness of the hon. gentleman's case, and that he had misgivings as to such marriages not being prohibited I,y Divine Jaw. Ho (Sir F. Thesiger) founded his objections to the bid on the ground that the marriages which it proposed to sanction would be cr - trary to Divine law—that the bill, if carried, would deeply affect the happiness and comfort of numerous families throughleat the United Kingdom, introduce do mestic discord and discomfort, and be destructive of those fine feelings of affection with which the wife's nearest k'n 4311.211 t to be regarded by the husband. Mr. BOWYER denied that the Jewish marriage law was at all binding upon Christians, which he thought would lead us into all sorts of absurdities. These mar riages had never been prohibited by the common or the statute law of England till Lord Lyndhurst's law of 1835. It was true that the statute of Henry VIII. prohibited all marriages that were contrary to the law of God ; but it still remained to be proved that these particular marriages were in that predicament. As a general principle, restrictions on marriage were unwise, and as there were large bodies of dissenters and Roman Catholics in England who did not admit that these marriages were prohibited by divine law, he maintained that this house ought to consult their views. Mr. E. BALL quoted a long list of eminent men who denied that these marriages were a violation of the divine law, and he contended that' the feelings of the people of England were in favour of a change in the law. . Mr. M. MILNES contended that large classes of the people were anxious for the alteration of the law ; and that the alteration would not interfere with the con scientious convictions of those who took a different view of the question. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE contended that Mr. Bowyer had been guilty of a transparent fallacy in his argument that the common law of England did not forbid marriage vGitli a deceased wife's sister. The truth was that the common law took no cognisance of the law of marriage at ail, but left that whole question to the decision of the statute law. He was opposed to the introduction of the bill ; and ho found in the restrictions contained in its provisions sufficient reasons for its rejection. Mr. SPOONER would vote for the introduction of the bill, without pledging himself to its details. He did so because he considered the present state of the law was fraught with th e mos t i mmora l consequences among ,the lower classes. The only justification of the present law would be that it was in accordauce with the Divine law ; and as he did not believe that such was the case, he was for the alteration of the law. At the same time he was opposed to the marriage of a wife's niece, and to the ex emption of Scotland from the operation of the measure. Mr. H. DRUMMOND contended that the prohibition of these marriages was of Divine authority, and that the Church never had a doubt on the subject till the fourth century, when the Pope introduced the_ question of dis pensation. He objected t o this as a sneaking, half-and half measure ; he called upon the hod, mover to deal openly with the question—to get rid of all questions of affinity, and "marry your grandmother like ,a man." Admiral WALCOTT believed that the change now proposed would unhinge society,the:Word of God hav ing pronounced against such marriages; and must there fore oppose the motion. Viscount PALMERSTON—Sir, I wish to state that, having paid great attention to this debate, I shall cer tainly give my vote in favour of the -motion of my hon. friend. (Hear, hear.) I think that this is not a ques:,. tionof the law of God. I hold that Parliament has settled that by the Act of 1835, for of course it can never be supposed that Parliament *would have legalised all marriages which up to that period-_had been pro; scribed, if Parliament had been of opinion' that there was such a fundamental objection to those marriages. (Hear, hear.) It' certainly appears to me that this case is one to which you may apply the quotation, "Nil pro aunt leges sine moribus"—that is to say, that laws are of no avail if the moral feeling of the country does not go in unison with time law. Now, it seems to be established and admitted that the moral feeling of the community at large is not with this law—that the law, in fact, is not obeyed, and that a great number of persons, not con ceiving themselves to commit any moral offence, do con tract marriages which the law prohibits. (Hear.) That is not a state of things which ought to exist, and, not being of opinion that there is any moral objection to the contracting of these marriages, and, believing that the law as it stands is the cause of a great deal of misery and social evil, eepecally among the middle and lower classes of time community, I shall with great pleasure give my vote for the motion. (Hear, hear.) Mr.WALPOLE said the noble viscount's main reason for supporting the motion seemed to consist in the act of 1835. This was the first time he had heard from his noble friend that the law of Parliament could determine what was the law of God. ViscountPALMERSTON—I did not say that the act ofParliainent could determine that; Isaid the act showed what Parliament conceived it to he. Mr. WALPOLE hoped the noble viscount would not object to he set right as to what the act of Parliament - was intended to do. The act made no marriages legal-- it simply'raid that those marriages which had been con tracted should not be voided in the parties lifetime ; in other words, all it said was that those marriages should be placed o❑ the same footing as marriages before that act Were placed, if either of the patties were dead.' It 'lid bQ in.ordt that, there -having -been t► difference and dispute as to the law up to that time, children should I not be illegitimised by any consequence resulting from those marriages, when the Legislature itself was pressed :o alter the law. But it had always been considered by legal authorities in this and the other house that, instead 3f that act declaring what the law of God was in this country, it left to the ecclesiastical courts the powers of punishing the parties who contracted such marriages, although it legitimised the children. The noble viscount's second reason for supporting the introduction of the bill was, that the law was disobeyed, and could not be en forced ; that it could not be maintained because it was inconsistent with the public opinion and feeling of the country. Now did the noble viscount, sitting in the high place which he oecupied, seriously consider the consequences of that proposition ? Did he bear in mind that, according to the report, there were numbers of mar riages contracted with brothers' widows, with a mother and daughter in succession and even, he deplored to say, leading to morally incestuous intercourse ? If once we were to admit the doctrine that, because parties had vio lated the law of the land, which he believed also to be the law of God, therefore the law must be altered, lie said there was nothing whetever to keep the bonds of society t ,gether. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He could not refrain from entering his pi otast against such a doc trine, and he would urge on the noble viscount, not pursu ing the subject further, to consider the effect it would have on the country if this question of marriage—the most solemn, the most sacred, and most interesting that could be conceived to the whole community, should be con stantly ventilated in Parliament, and agitated out of doors, contrary to the feelings of the people both of Scotland and Ireland, as they had .been told, contrary to the feelings also of a large, if not the largest portion, of the people of this country. (Hear, hear.) The effect of a change in the law would be to introduce a state of social relations entirely different to any heretofore exist ing in this country, so that instead of the husband and wife's sister being able to enjoy ee.ch other's society with out a shadow of suspicion or scandal being cast on their intercourse, because the husband felt that there was a moral bar existing, which prevented an immoral thought from arising in his mind, the parties would stand to each other in the relation of aliens and strangers. Mr. G. 11. MOORE stated, in opposition to Mr. Bowyer, that the feelings of the Roman Catholic popu lation were unanimously and strongly opposed to any alteration of the law. Mr. COBDEN contended that the opponents of this motion had allowed their case to go by default. He knew of his own knowledge many persons of the highest respectability who had gone to Germ'Any and married their deceased wife's sister, and then returned and lived in this country without losing caste. This was a proof of the evasion of the law and an argument for its altera tion. Mr. HEYWOOD replied, after which the house di. vided.

BALL then rose to move that it is expedient that more effectual means should be adoptee to improve the education of pauper children in Ireland After point ing out the great numbers of children that were at pre sent inmates of the Irish workhouses, he complained of the low salaries that were given to their schoolniaiters, of allowing them to mix with bad characters among the adult inmates, and of the paucity of industrial edu cation. He dwelt also upon the fact that both Catholic and Protestant children were in some cases left without teachers of their own persuasion, and though he ad mitted that no rule could be laud down on this question, he hoped the Government would be prepared to apply some remedy to the evil. The hon. gentleman had pro ceeded for some time in his address, when an hon. mem ber moved that the house be counted, but forty mem bers were found to -be present, and the hon. getleman proceeded, and urged that larger salaries should be given to the pauper teachers, with a view to secure a higher class of instruction. Mr. BOWYER seconded the motion. Mr. T. KENNEDY supported the motion, and at the same time urged upon the Government the necessity of making better provision for the teachers of the National school: Mr. HORSMAN c rdially concurred in the objects of the resoluti,m. The root of the evil lay in the defi ciency of the law, which did not compel the poor-law guardians to provide adequate means of education ; for many parishes, however, the guardians ha - I, of their own accord, instituted a superior system of education in their schools. He thought it would be unwise in Government to check these local exertions by a national grant, but he could assure his hon. friend that the Government would not lose sight of the question, and that they. would, by every possible means, give their support to an ex tended, improved, and unsectarian system of education. He hoped his hon. friend would withdraw his motion. The discussion was continued by Mr Burke Roche, Mr.. Seymour Fitzgerald, Mr. Scully, &c., after which, Mr. BALL replied, refusing to withdraw his motion, as he contended that Ireland should be put upon the same footing with other parts of the country as to the reciipt of public money. Lord PALMERSTON—The hon. gentleman speaks of equality between England and Ireland. Now, let us see how the account stands. Let us take Irelaiid first, and see what sums are paid for her out of the public re ♦enue • • Irish constabulary £650,000 A.asiQtatit banister., Expenses of prosecutions Crown solicitors £750,000 Showing a total for Ireland of 750,0001. per year. Now, let us see how the English side of the account stands : Expenses of prosecutions '£250,000 Education in woiknotues 22,000 half of medical expenses 90,000 • X 352,006 Making 362,000/., as compared with 750,0001. in Ire land. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. F. FRENCH—What about the judges of the county courts in England Loil PALMERSTON—Thoy are paid by fees. (Cheers.) Colonel DUNNE would delay expressing his opinion fully until they came to the civil estimates, when he would do so, and he would show that England had much more than her share. There, for instance, was the build ing of this house. (Laughter.) Mr. FRENCH—There was the educational grants for England. He hoped the hon. gentleman would not shrink from pressing this matter to a division. He hoped the Irish members would stand together whether the Go ♦ernment liked it or not.- Mr. GROGAN must say the speech of the noble lord at the-head of the Government was the most extraordi nary and unjust speech he had ever heard in that house froin'a Minister of the Crown. The speech 'of the noble lord clearly proved that Ireland was most unjustly treated, for the agreement at tie time of the Union wai that Ireland should bear only the 2-17t'is of the national burdens. (Hear.) Mr. WILSON—The county court judges were not paid out of the consolidated fund, but out of fees derived from the eourt. Mr. FRENCH—And what is done with the fees in the assistant-barristers' courts in Ireland ? They go to the Crown. Tha house then divided, when there appeared— For the motion 32 Against it BO —4B The motion was conseqUently lost. VACATING SEATS IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. WRIGHTSON moved for leave to bring in a bill to alter and amend the Act 6 Anne, c. 7, so far as re lates to vacating seats in Parliament on the acceptance of office. • _ _ Mr. FRENCH—If the Government thought such a measure as this necessary, why did they not take charge of it ? (Hear.) Mr. HENLEY did not see that any good would re sult from the measure. Mr. WALPOLE thought ►his would bo a fitting time for the Government to consider the state of the law witk reference to offices generally, and how far office should operate as an exclusion from or cessation of Parliamen tary representation. Lord PALMERSTON said the bill would be con sidered by the Government at a future stage. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. METROPOLIS COMMUNICATIONS. Mr. JACKSON moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the state and condition of the several communications to and in the metropolis, including the bridges over the Thames and the ap proaches thereto ; to report whether the communica tions and approaches are adequate to the present and increasing traffic to and in the metropolis, if not, the best mode of improving the same; and whether it will be desirable to have one or more bridges over the Thames, and the best mode, out of local funds, of providing the cost of such bridges; and of improving the said communi cations and approaches, and throwiug open to the public the toll-pitying bridges. Agreed to. Mr. BROWN was about to move for certain returns connected with the Belfast corporation, but being op posed, did not press his motion for the present. Lord PALMERSTON told the hon. gentleman that it casks wasusual to lay some Parliamentary ground for the return; mid to state for what purpose it was needed. Mr. BROWN would state his ground if the noble lord liked. Lord PA.LMERSTON—When you move for it again will do. PUBLIC PROSECUTORS BILL. Mr. PHILLIMORE would not then press the second reading of this bill. PRICE'S INDEMNITY BILL. Mr. WALPOLE objected to the second reading of this bill now as it was not yet printed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER con sented to postpone it to Friday next. The house rose at a quarter-past 11 o'clock. Mr. Williams was shut gut in the division on Mr. Hoywood's motion. SYMPATHY WITH THE POLES.—Writing to the Mayor of Bath, expressing his willingness to present to the House of Lards the petition adopted by the meeting lately held in that city to express sympathy with Poland, the Earl of Shaftesbury says : " The partition of Poland was an enormous crime and an enormous fcdly ; the restoration of it is demanded alike by sense! and justice. But, whatever be the views and feelings of single indi viduals or masses of men, the time has not yet arrived fur governments to interpose. We must rest content for the present with the - oxpresaion of national sympa thies." _ WAR-OFFICE, MARCEE 13. 7th Regiment of Foot—Licutenant-General Samuel Ben jamin Auehrnuty, from the 65th Foot, to be Colonel, vice Lieutenant-General Sir Georgo Brown, K.C.8., removed to the Rifle Brigade, Jan. 18. 44th Regiment of Foot—Lieutenant-General Sir Frede rick Ashworth to be Colonel, vice General The Honourable Sir Patrick Stuart, deceased, Feb. 8. 55th Regiment of Foot .Lieutenant-General the Hon.
