In that assertioe the hon. and . learned member is entirely mistaken. (Hear.) Tte operation of that act hes, by niutuai consent, ben sus pended for several years past. It has not been acted on ; ships are not intercepted under it ; it is, in short, up to the present day, a dead letter. (Hear.) The hone and learned member was tolerably correct in the historical recital he has given. In 1826 the government of Brazil entered into a treaty not merely to make the slave trade piracy, but completely to abolnh it within their dominious, and the discussions which have since arisen have not turned upon the techoical point of whether or not the slave trade had been declared piracy, but on the greater point of whether the Government of Brazil had exerted itself to put down the slave trade, au article of the treaty in which it had notoriously violated its engagements. I think I should be insulting the house were I to attempt to convince it that the slave trade is ene of the greatest crimes that ever disgraced human nature, demoralising to those who are engaged in it, and' ruinous to the country in which it is carried on; and that England has in no respectdone herself more honour than by her unwearied and persevering endeavour, ever since 181'5, to put an end to that abominable crime. (Cheers.) We have a treaty on the subject with Portugal ; and when Brazil separated, she took the treaty engagements by which Portugal was bound. Amongst them, the trea ties establishing mixed tribunals and giving mutual right of search ; but that treaty was o f li m ited duration, and when it ceased in Portugal it also ceased to have any force in Brazil. This happened in 1839, when I had the honour to be in the Foreign-office, and we passed a law similar to that of 1845. The consequence was that Portugal, which up to that time had relived to acknow ledge our new treaty engagements, did then renew, and in consequence of that the treaty act of 1839 was re pealed. Tae difference , between Brazil and Portugal was that Portugal was an exporting while Brazil was an im porting country ; and it is obvious that to the importing country the trade must afford the greatest profit. Brazil was invited to renew the treaty for the suppression of the slave trade • and in consequence of her refund, the Go vernment of Sir R. Peel prevailed on Parliament to pass the act of 1845. which was an exact counterpart of the act of 1839. Now, sir. was there a reason for that act ? Dili Braz I continue to carry on the slave trade when aware that she was bound not to do so ? She was bound by treaty in 1826, and for years after the trade.was car ried on to an enormous extent. The precise amount I am not able to specify, but it was from 50,000 to 70,000 annually ; and let any man imagine the amount of human misery that such a slave traffic must reproach. For every 1,000 slaves lauded in Brazil 3,000 must have been taken from their homes, one-third dying during the march to the coast, and another third on the voyage to Brazil. The effect on Brazil was degrading and demo ralising. Tue race was contaminated, and the people depraved ; all the capital which should have been em ployed in the development of the natural re • trees of the country being absorbed in this accursed traffic in the flesh and blood of man. Why, then, it may he asked, wits it carried on ! It is true that many considerable men in the country opposed it, and looked upon it as a national calamity; but then there were the landowners whose estates were to be cuitivated, all the authorities who received bribes for connivance, and these two parties con spired to set aside the laws of the country. The result was the law of 1845—a law which was perfectly just, because Brazil had broken all her treaty engagements. For 4 or 5 years that law w'es left in abeyance, but in 1850, the Brezdian governmenthaving neglected repeated warnings they were told at last that the act would be put in force, and that our cruisers would take their slavers even in their creeks and harbours, to be tried before British courts. A great outcry was raised about the national dignity and independence of Brazil —every sort of prin— ciple wets appealed to—and assurances were given that effectual measures of repression would be taken by Braz 1 herself. In consequence of these representations the English admiral and minister suspended the operation of the act, but the promise was not kept, and the act of 1845 was put into operation. It was most effectual, but when it was found that the Brazilian government was in earnest in suppression, it was again suspended, and has continued suspended up to the present time. (Hear ) That act has not been repealed, because its existence is a security ; but the hen, and learned member is entirely mistaken in thinking that it is or has been for some years in active operation. But the hon. and learned member says that our commerce is endangered by the treaty, and that the Brazilians are tempted to unite with the United Sta•os. Wby they are more dependent on the United States than we are, seeing that from thence they get all the breadttuffs upon which they depend Or existence. For Brazil is a singular instance of au em pire of vast extent, having every vari , ty of Foil, and capable of producing everything, but which is obliged to get her daily bread from America, and the stones that pave her streets from Aberdeen, in Scotland. The hon. and learned member says that we annually export 12 millions to Brazil, and if so, what could we do more ? I do not think we should be better with a reciprocal treaty. That treaty with Portugal limiting the duty on British goods was a great mistake, and all such treaties are, in my opinion, against the soundest maxims of political eco nomy. Ide not think that the act of 1815 has the slightest effect on our commerce with Brazil. It may he true that the Emperor of Brazil and his 'ministers are anxious to suppress the slave trade, but it is not true that it has been suppressed. The case to which the hon. and learned mem ber alluded is a case in point. There a cargo was landed with the connivance of all the authorities of the pro vince, the governor absented himself, and every facility was given for the landing of the slaves. Our consul ex• erted himself with great activity, but the natives who assisted bin were all imprisoned, while the importers of the slaves were allowed to go unpunished. Vt 7 ll, then, I say that if the hon. and learned member were to carry this motion, it would be received with acclamation by the adventurers in the United States and Brazil, who are only waiting fear an opportunity to elude our cruisers, and it would be a proof th..t this house meant to reverse all its policy since 1815. The hoe. and learned member says that Lord Aberdeen promised that when the slave trade was suppressed, the act should be repealed. I know nothing of that promise, which was only binding on the Government by which it was made. But when the hon. and learned member says that the slave trade has heir] put an end to, what security have we that it may not revive, unless the viglence of the British cruisers prevent it ? There has been a great mortality amongst the slaves in Brazil ; the planters want as many as they can get, and they would purchase to any extent. without scruple. The Goverment has taken some steps to increase their free population, but not so much as they might have done, and they have merle no exertion to turn their Indian population to account. But this will come in time. The capital now emplOyed in the slave trade will be devoted to internal improvements, and Brazil may in her higher regions come to raise sufficient corn for her own consumptios. Her great rivers will be utilised, but in the meantime I implore the house to do nothing to revive a traffic which is the greatest c7inie ever committed by the human race —a crime our active exertions to repress which have been rewarded by Providence with a greater amount of prosperity than ever we experienced before. (Hear.) I entreat the house therefore—l entreat the hon. and learned gentl, , man, who, I believe, is as sincerely adverse to that crime as I, or any man who hears laixt—l en treat him, and I entreat the house, not to take a step that would be certain to be misunderstood by the people of Brazil, and tend probably . to the renewal of those evils which we have taken so much pains to put an end to. (Cheers.) Mr. B. MOORE observed that the noble lord's statement that the streets of Rio Janeiro were paved with the granite of Aberdeen, reminded him of the statements made at the first opening of our trade with tbat country, that skates and warming pans were in large demand ; whereas in those latitudes frost and cold weather were unknown. Aberdeen granite might pos sibly have gene out to Rio, but it so it had been taken out as ballast. He (Nlr. Moore) was well acquainted with the Brazils, and from his own personal knowledge of the people of that country he could say that they were most desirous to put down the slave trade, and he chal lenged the noble lord to give a single instance since 1850 of any Brazilian being taken in the act of trading in slaves. Nay more, the only slaver that had been captured in the Brazilian waters for m any years past had been captured by the Brazilians themselves, and not by our cruisers. With regard it .to tur the slaver party who ned out ca ptured at Surinam, th e was implicated had since been punished by the Bra zilian government. As showing that the feeling aga i ns t the traffic was not confined to the government, he might mention that in the case of the Mary Eliza beth Smith, an American vessel, which attempted to run a ca rgo of slaves into the Brazils, she was driven from port after port by the Brazilian people, and was at length captured by a Brazdian cruiser at St. Melo, - for which service Mr. Terninghatn had been directed by the British Government to write a despatch thanking the Brazilian authorities. In reference to the correspondence of the representatives of this country in their oiplomatic inter course with the Brazilian Government, he must say that a tone of Imperial insolence had been assumed, which had afforded to that Government just cause of complaint; and upon this point, if upon no other, he thought some inquiry ought to be institu.ed by the house. The hill of 1845 was no doubt an interference with the sovereignty of the Brazils, and the Brazilian Government was con sequently justified in refusing to enter into negotiation's with us while we asserted the right to search and capture their vessels in their own waters, and adjudicate upon them on the spot. The atrocities committed by the Bri tish cruisers under this assumed power were such as no in dependent nation could permit. In one instance, one of our cruisers captured a packet boat, landed the passengers and crew, and see fire to the vessel, and this within two days' of Rio. Was that treating a nation upon terms of equality, or would such a course be attempted against any nation that was strong enough to resist it ? (aear.) It was an error to put down the imports of British goods into the Brazils at 12,000,0001., and this statement, which had been made by the ben. and learned gentlernan,and re-echoed by the noble lord, only showed what a lamentable want of information there was even on the part of the Government on this subject. The whole of the imports into the Brazils old not amount to more than 12,000, 0001 . , of which proba bl y one-half w ere British goods. The Braids was the only constitutional sovereignty of Sooth America, and bey on d that it was the only South Ameni can state that bad kept faith with its cre ,itors. it should be our policy, therefore, to encourage the most friendly relations with that country. Witn regard to the present sovereign of the Brazils, he couid confirm every word of praise that had fallen from the hon. and learned gentle man. He knew him to be a good man, truly desirous e - R,lO - g, TAmPED 51 ' • j 0, 2 6 3.) Brazil was declared to be piracy. I think it right on this occasion to state to the house what it no doubt is aware of, but the statement of which is necessary to the understanding of the observations which I am about to make. Brazil, sir, has a constitutional government; they have an emperor it is true but be is a constitutional monarch ; they have a legislature which makes laws for the community, and unless the laws are made by that le gislature they are not hinting upon the people of Braz 1 I think it right in limine to make this statement. Shortly art er 1826 a further treaty was entered into between this country and Brazil, and by that convention there wa created a reciprocal power of search on the part of both countries.' And in that convention there was power given to either party to put an end to the treaty upon notice given. This went on for some years, but in 1844 that conventiop was put an end to on notice given, and the rights of search done away with. Toereupon Lord Aberdeen, then Foreign Minister under Sir It Peel, introduced a bill into the other house, by which power was given to British courts of justice to take into consideration and adjudicate upon ships taken under the treaty of 1826. By the convention which was put an end to there was a mixed commission, which was abolished by the abrogation of the treaty, and this act of Parliament was intended to supply the place of that commission. But Lord Aberdeen, in introducing the bill, stated clearly and distinctly that under one of two circumstances its prOvisions would be put an end to. One was if the slave trade were abolished and utterly abrogated in Bra z'l ; the utter, if another treaty between this country and Brazil on the subject of the slave trade was entered into. Upon the declaration of independence in Brazil, great difficulty and confusion arose in that country. In the year 1826 Don Pedro 1. abandoned his throne of Brazil in order to take that of Portugal. He came to Europe, and left his son, a minor, and confusion reigned throughout the great . empire of Brazil. At that time there were at the head of the concerns of that country men of great ciapaotty,--wlao- underteok the education of the son—the young sovereign Don Pedro 11. They so undertook that education as to make hit a model monarch ; he became desirous of carrying out the institutions of Brazil. He did not desire to extend his power and dominion, but to keep himself within the boundaries of his own kingdom. In fact, as I have said, he became a model constitutional monarch. But notwithstanding that, great difficulties lay in his path. Everybody must know that a country claiming for itself independence, under the circumstances in which Brazil was placed, must have a difficult task to pursue. Even the United States, accustomed as they were to our government hnd institutions, found a diffi culty in forming a government for themselves. The people of Brazil found the same difficulty. Nothwith standing this, they carried on their Government, and from time to time they gained stability and established good laws within the circle of their dominions. At the time when they declared themselves independent, their commerce was in a situation, not perhaps peculiar, but to which I must refd. Slavery was permitted in Brazil, and the slave trade was carried on by Bra zilians between that country and Africa to a great ex tent ; so great indeed that alarm was created amosig the people of Brazil. The importation of slaves was so great that tue white population took fright, and public opinion being against slavery, it was determined to put an end to it. In addition to this, circumstances con nected with trade had a great influence upon the mind of the public Sugar bad been the chief source of profit, but at the time to which I refer, it was discovered that coffee might be as advantageously cultivated, and with Ipss slave labour. As time wore on, the independence of the people of, Brazil gained strength, and at length there came to be an end of the slave trade in that coun try. Am I not justified in saying this when the noble lord himself stated that we might now consider that the slave trade was at an end in Brazil ? And so it has been, and is. They have even stretched the law and driven slaveholders out of Brazil, some of whom have come to Europe, while others have sought the more cou genial shores of Cuba and North America. I know that the noble lord has a strong feeling against the slave trade. In that I syMpathise with him, ard if I thought any act of mine on'the present occasion would go to favour that trade in any one of its ramifications I wont not take that step. The bon. gentleman continued — Under these circumstances, he thought that circum stances would justify the noble lord in repealing the act of 1845. They should remember that Brazils was a con stitutional kingdom, and the act of the executive unau thorised by the legi-lature could not have the force of law.- When, therefore, Lord Aberdeen introduced the the act of 1845, he attacked the sovereignty of the peaple e of-Beizil, and it was only natural that they should resent such an attack. they had resented it, and had refused to enter into any treaty with us on any subject mil that act should be repealed. By that act English cruisers could go into the waters of &art, into its creeks and harbours, cut out a ship witch they might deem a slaver ; and subject her to be tried, not by a mixed tribunal, but by one which was wholly English. Now we were a commercial nation, having great commercial foes, amongst others the United states of America, which say to Brazil, " We will admit all your goods duty free, we are slaveholders t l i h k e e y e e o e u t r h s l e v e e s d ; w w e e a d r e o mwi willing e eg i t t e h e e ne enter r t h a in s to you at t d e o e t i y n offensive and defensive with you. You will then see whether or not it is possible to be beyond the control of England." Brazil, it was true, under her excellent mon arch, had refused to yield to the blandishments of Ame rica ; she had refused the treaty, but she also refused to enter into any treaty with us until we repealed the Act of 1845. Brazil was the fourth nation in our list of cus tomers, taking from us to the value of 12,000,0001, an nually. America offered to take her goods without tax, while`our necessities obliged us to tax every article of her produce. Still, as the sole representative of monarchy in America, Brazil was inclined rather for an alliance with England than for one with the United States. What he asked then of the House of Commons was to consider our relationi with Brazil, and no longer to leave them exclusively in the hands of the executive. All he asked them to do was to consider, not to determine anything. Let them inquire into our relations with Brazil, and also into the policy of repealing the Aot of 1846. He appealed to the noble lord under whose control we bad been carry ing on war with all the world. It was true we had now peace with Russia, but we were at war in Persia and in China, and there was coofusion iu India. We might at any moment be at war in the Western quarter of the world, and therefore he asked the noble lord not to op pose this inquiry, which might tend to preserve friendly relations with a great American nation. He asked him to rely on the feeling which Brazil herself bad exhibited as a determined enemy to the slave trade. Although Brazil bad magnificent rivers, the chief communication between her different provinces was by sea, and if it was neces-ary to remove a party of slaves from one province to another, it must be done by sea. The vessels in whin this was done were constantly intercepted by our cruisers —who finding blacks on board, declared the vessel to be a saver, took her before the court and condemned her, and thus the whole internal traffic of the country was PUBLICIATIOIS.

The coast line of Brazil extended up wards of four thousand miles, and was in dented with various ports, between which there was a constant traffic British ships constantly entered these ports, and took possession of Brazilian ships under the very walls of the forts. He asked would they dare such a procedure against a planter of the Chesapeake, would they dare to enter the harbour of New Orleans for such a purpose. (Hear.) If we oid, America would at once be in arms, and we should be obliged at once to succumb. We should have to show ourselves, as we always had done under the noble lord's administration, subservient to the strong and arrogant and overbearing to the weak. Whenever a nation was able to defend itself we were its bumble servant. (Hear, hear.) Compare our conduct to Brazil with that which we pursued towards Cuba. Why did we not interfere with Cuba? The noble lord knew very well why we dared not. He believed that the noble lord would not do wrong if in this matter he divested himself of responsibility and tbrew it on the House of Commons. It the House of Commons took it in hand right would he done, but if it was left in the hands of diplomatists, it would be left in the hands of men who thought the power of England was best dis played in insolence and arrogance to the weak. (Hear ) He wished to mention the case of a ship which came to Brazil with slaves unresisted by the British authority. The Brazilians said that our authorities were connected with what occurred, but however that might be 40 of the slaves escaped. Subsequently, however, the Brazilians and the local authorities took posses i sion of the vessel, but h.eause some of the slaves had escaped, the Brazilian IGovernment received a most h -ughty letter from Lord Clarendon, although they condemned the vessel and con fisca,!ed all the runaway slaves. He looked upon any estrangement between England and Braz.l as a great calamity. Brazil could supply us both with sug ar cotton, and thus render us independent of the United States, a service which would be appreciated by t our children's children. We were now the slaves of Americasultedwe on account of the cotton crop. If wewere thought of Lancashire and the c otton crop , b and at once insulted succumbed. The hon. and learned me concluded concluded by moving for a select committee to take into consideration our relations with Brazil and to report thereon. Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, I cannot at the outset refrain from expressing my surprise that a person who like the hon. and learned gentleman must be supposed to have given some attention to public affairs, and to whom current affairs both in the present and the near pa-t, cannot be unknown, should give his counten ance to the vulgar and unfounded insinuations which persons below hind have attempted to propagate—namely, that it is t h e practice of England to bully the weak and to flit ter the strong. (Cheers.) Does not the hon. and learned member remember the time, in his life and mine, when England stood alone against all Europe, and a more re cent period, when she undertook a great straggle with the greatest military power in the world, carrying it into the very territory of that power ? (Hear, hear.) I am, astonished that the hon. and learned member should, for the purpose of argument, attempt to impose on the credulity of the house, and I assert that his theory is directly opposed to the known historical facts of the case. But the hon. and learned member made an ad mission which I think entitles me to his support agamet his own motion. (A. laugh.)

If the law decl'ired that the marriage tie could be dissolved for incompatibi lity of temper, the clergy, he supposed, would in like manner be obliged to celebrate the marriage of the di vorced persons. This he thought a great hardship on the clergy.. Lord CAMPBELL said be should be glad to support any clause which would satisfy the conscience of every member of the clergy, but it would be a most alarming principle to pass a law of the land which all persons were not bound to obey. See what resulted from these con scientious scruples. It was from conscientious scruples that the objections to church rates and. tithes arose. What ground was there for this clause ? There was no canon law, as far as be was aware, which declared mar riage to be indissoluble. Those who concurred in the Re'ormatio Legum were not aware of any such canon, and none had been pased since, that he was aware of, to that effect. But even if there were, no canon was to be set up against the law of the land, and it would not be binding if the law of the land was against it. It would, be most mischievous and a very bad example it some of the clergy were to set themselves above the law. After a few words from the Bishops of Bangor, Lon don, and Oxford, Their lordships then divided— For the Bishop of Oxford's clause Against 73-52 THE ACTION FOR CRIM. CON. On clause 44, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he proposed this clause in its present form on account of the general feel ing that the law ought to be altered. He thought the law of Scotland was the best on this subject. The action for crim. con had been objected to on various grounds. It was said that a divorce ought not to depend on whe ther a husband had obtained diet in such an action, thuiiiMPOsing on him :th - elae'eeeeit rer y of bringing such an action. Another objection was, though he did not at tach much weight to it, that investigations of this kind led to a great deal of scandalous detail ; but this arose rather from the nature of the subject itself. Such an objectirlf would squally apply to actions for seduc tion and for criminal violence. A third objection, which was much pressed by Lord Brougham, was, that the cha racter r f the lade might be irretrievably damaged in as action of this kind, without her having a chance of being heard. The clause as now drawn obviated that objec tion entirely. No such action could be brought till the husband had obtained a sentence of divorce. Still, it might be said, why retain the action at all It would be an anomaly in the law, if for a gross grievance no re msely were provided. Not only on the sole ground of solatium, as it was called, might damages be awarded, but also as a means, of paying the costs of a divorce. Again, the apprehension of large damages might very probably restrain parties Irons the commission of this crime. If the action for crim. con. seas taken away, what substitute was provided ? One prOposatiwas to fine the adulterer in fact,soo/., and make the crime a misde meanour. Lord ST. LEONARD i restated the substance of his proposal. The fine would go to the Crown, with power to apply part of it to the costs of the divorce. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that might alter the name of the trial, but the very same trial must take place. If the offence were made a misdemeanour, the husband ought riot to have the option to prosecute or condone as he thought proper ; the prosecution ought to be at the instance of the public. It was said that this kind of action was at variance with the public feeling ; but how could this be so when juries almost invariably gave very heavy damages. Under these circumstances, be thought it better to retain the right of action for crim. con., but not to make it a condition precedent to obtain ing a divorce. Lord LYNDHIJRST said he would not again enter into the question generally, having so recently dons so at great length. He would confine htmeelt to the alteration now proposed. As the lew now stood, a divorce could not be obtained till aft4r judgment obtained against the adulterer. Now, it was proposed to reverse the order of proceeding, but the noble and learned lord had given no answer to what he stated the other night. The law ought to be applicable to all classes of the community ; but as only (sire portion of the community could ever pro ceed for divorce—Roman Catholics, for instance,. being excluded—those persons would also be debarred from bringing an action. Again, it would operate injuriously towards poor men, wh• act wives might have been seduced, and who would have to go through a dduble proceeding in order to obtain damages from the adulterer. He doubted whether the alteration proposed would diminish these actions, for when persons obtained judgment of divorce they would only have to go into a court of law 'and ask for a verdict. He therefore proposed to strike out from the clause certain words, the effect of which would be to take away the action for crim. con. (Hear.) The Bishop of OXFORD did not think the _house would consent to do away with the right of action for criminal conversation, unle s s something of a penal cha racter were substituted. To do this would, especially among the lower classes, increase the temptation to Crime. Lord LYNDHURST said he had not entered into that point because Lord St. Leonards had an amendment on the paper which went to that question. Too Bishop of OXFORD was di,posed to support the principle of Lord Sc. Leonards' amendment, but thought that a higher penalty ought to be inflicted on the adul terer, with power to make compensation to the husband. He should be glad to =ee something done to make adul tery discreditable, instead of the adulterer being invested with a sort of mythical chivalry, as at present. (Hear.) He would subject him to imprisonment, or some dis creditable punishment. Lord WENSLEYDALE opposed the amendment. The house ought not to take away the husband's right to a civil remedy, although they might reader adultery a penal offence. It had been said that the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench was not only opposed to this action, but had actually stigmatised it in open court as a disgrace to the law of this country. He could not believe that this was correct. It was also an error to say that this was the only country in which such a right of action prevailed. The action for cram con. was not exactly a condition precedent for obtaining a divorce, but iu the Duke of Norlolic's case, about the be ginning of the century, the action had been required to be brought to satisfy the house that there was no collu sion ; and the rues had been generally acted on since. The law of France and other countries recognised the right of an injured husband to maintain an action against the adulterer ; and by the Reman law fines were imposed on parties so offending. He saw no g round fir taking away the right of the husband to recover compensation for being deprived of the comfort, society, and assistance of his wife ; and what compensation could the law give other than a pecuniary compensation ! Two or three ar guments had been adduced against the action. It was said that a man ought not to he allowed to make mer chandise of his wife's dishonour; but analogous argu ments might be employed against the action far slander or libel. It was said that these actions led to very dis agreeable details, but this objection also arose in other kinds of actions. The hardship upon the woman because she was not heard in such an action might easily be kept, because she could give assistance in defending the action. Lord LYNDHURST said his noble and learned friend had entirely misapprehended the view he took of the question now before the committee. He (Lord Lynd hurst) wished to get rid of the action for criminal conver sation, but only in order to substitute some equivalent for it. It would be a great misfortune to discuss the subject piecemeal. The Earl of DERBY remindtid the committee that if they agreed to his learned friend's amendment they would by no means be committed to the abolition of the action for criminal conversation. When they had dis cussed his noble friend'e substitute for that action, it would still be open to their lordships to express their opinion on what the Lord Chief. Justice would call the ensemble of the clause. (Hear.) Lord CAMPBELL said the speech of his noble friend (Lord Wensleydale) had proceeded on the supposition that what was proposed was the simple abolition of the action fer criminal conversation ; whereas that was a prop isition which not one of their lordships thought of recommending. (Hear, hear.) He knew that his noble friend had a great abhorence for any alteration in the law ; but in those cases in which the law had been changed, and in which the changes had been fonnd beneficial, his noble friend had candidly confessed his former opinion concerning them had been erroneous. The noble lord seemed to be as much shocked at the prospect of abolishing the action for criminal conversa tion as if it were proposed totake away the writ of habeas corpus ; he seemed, in fact, to think that the mainten ance of our liberties was bound up with the right of a husband to put money into his pocket by his own dis honour. (Laughter) The noble lord had referred to a statement, respecting what he (Lord Campbell) had said in the Court of Queen's Beech. That, statement was perfectly true. In open court, upon his own tribunal, In his noble friend's presence, he should not be deterred from expressing sentiments .he had long maintained. The action for criminal conversation was contrary to the very first principles of jurisprudence, which only gave a right of civil action where pecuniary damages could afford a compensation for the wrong done. Thus, it a horse were taken away from a man, and he receive a verdict for 100/. or 2001., he might buy himself as good a horse with the money as he had lost ; but how could a person whose wife bad been seduced be compensated by any amount of pecuniary damages! Adultery was a crime of a very deep die, and he considered that it ought to be a subject for punishment, and not for pecuniary com pensation. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord said that the action for criminal conversation we, not unknown on the continent ; but he (Lord Campbell) had conversed with French, Italian, and German jurists, and the only view which prevailed amongst them was, that we ought to be ashamed that such an . action could be brought in our courts. (Hear.) On one occasion he was taunted with a statement that a man in England could take his wife into a public market with a rope'round her neck and sell her. He (L rd Campbell) pledged bis honour that so far from that being the ca-c, a man who did such a thing could be punished fr a Inisdemeanour. " Ah, but what have you to say about the action for criminal converse tioe !" was the immediate rejoinder. He (Lord Camp bell) had nothing to say—he could only blush. (Laughter.) Lord WENSLEYDALE said he had taken part in all the great legal changes of modern times In the portant alterations which had been effected in 1828, a nn I in the Common Law Procedure Acts of 1852 and 1854 Ihe had a large share—so that there never was a charge more entirely inaccurate than that which his noble friend had brought against him. With regard to what his friend had said in the Court of Queen's Bench on the subject of the motion for criminal conversation, he (Lord Wensleydale) had wished it might piove untrue. He regretted to find, however, that his noble friend should have thought proper in his court, where no one could answer him, to make perfectly irrelevant statements upon the state of the law. Where would the noble lord find a single precedent amongst his illustrious predeces sors of a judge thro wing dirt upon the law he sat to ad minsterl (Hear) Lord CAMPBELL, on theocca.ion in question did not blame the plaintiff. OU the contrary, he said the plain tiff did perfectly right, seeing that he could not other wise have obtained a divorce It, vincula. Earl GRANVILLE suggested that the clause should be struck out, and that the amendment should be intro duced at the bringing up of the report. A long conversation ensued upon this point ; but eventually it was suggested by The Earl of DERBY, that the words proposed to be left out should be omitted, and that the first words of the amendment should be agreed to—in other words, that the clause should be worded so as to abolish the action for criminal conversation, and that adultery with a married woman should be constituted a misdemeanour. (Hear, hear.) This was agreed to, and the ()Italie, as amended, *as then passed—the debate, upon its details, being post poned to another stage. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and, the house having resumed, the bill was reported as amended. Lord REDESDALE, adverting to the clause of Lord St. Leorards, providing a substitute for the action for criminal conversation, suggested to the Lord Chancellor that that clause should he discu4sed-when-tire—bill was recommitted, as that would afford the best chance of its being duly considered. On the motion of the Earl of HARBOWBY, Their lordships adjourned, at ten minutes to nine, till Thursday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE SERMONS AT EXETER=LIALL. Viscount DUNGANNON said he wished to put a question to the right hon. prelate (the Bishop of London) —namely, whether be had given his sanction to the pro ceedings which took place in Exeter-hall on Sunday evening last. A number of discourses had been announced as about to be delivered on several ensuing Sundays. He believed such a proceeding was offensive to many members of the Established Church. He begged to ask the right rev. prelate whether these meetings met with• his approval, and wh, , thtr he considered them in accordance with the discipline and dignity of the E, , tabli.ahed Church. Th'e Bi-hop of LONDON said be was not aware that he should be in order in answering such a question in such a place. (Hear, hear.) However, be was quite ready to answer the noble lord's question. Such a meeting as the noble viscount had alluded to did take place in Exeter-hall on Sunday evening last, and be believed it was intended to continue them for several Sunday evenings. He was net aware of what had been 'said on the subject by the newspapers, but a re quest bad been made to him by two prelates of the Church of England, and several other clergymen, for permission to deliver a series of religious discourses in Exeter Hail on Sunday evenings. He readily consented to the request, and be believed such a proceeding was strictly in accordance with the Act to secure liberty of religious worship: Such a protection, he thought, was not only quite legal, but highly expedient, for he believed in his heart there were thousands of persons in this metropolis who never thought of entering any place of worship, who had been induced to attend these religious meetings at Exeter Hall. Lord KINNAIRD said be was present last Sunday evening in Exeter Hall, and he was much pleased to observe that there were about 4,000 persons present, who listened with the greatest attention to the eloquent discourse delivered by the right rev, prelate the Bishop of Carlisle. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY - rose, butresutned his seat in cons quence of the I Aid cries of "Order." The Earl of HARDWICKE objected to a discussion going on upon the mere answering of a question. The Earl of HARROWBY thought it was highly neces-ary that *heir lordships should bear the most rev. prelate on such a subject. Alter a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the Earl of ELLENBOROUGM, The Archbishop of CANFERBURY was understood to deprecate the course pursued by the noble viscount .in calling the rev. prelate to task for the manner in which he exercised his spiritual functions. He asked their lordships whether they thought such questions consistent with the respect due to the prelates of the Church. The subject,then dropped. SALE OF POISONS. On the motionOrthe EztrIOI6ICANVILLE this bill was read a second time. PROBATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA- TION BILL. On the order of the day for reporting this bill with amendments, The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a petition from the proctors of Doctors'Commonecompltining of the injury which •he pv-sent bill would inflict upon them, auci praying for compensation. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the grievances of which the proctors complained were those which gene rally arose when any improvement in the law was wade. He was afraid he could not hold out hopes that com pensation would he awarded to the petitioners. After a short discussion the report was received. Some verbal amendments were made. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had some other amendments of a more imp,,rtant character to piopose. He would have them printed, and brought up on the third reading. THE SHREWSBURY PEERAGE. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the youngest son of the Duke of Norfolk, praying that he might be heard against the claim of Earl Talbot to the earldom of Shrewsbury. TRANSPORTATION BILL. On the motion of the Earl of HARROWBY, the Trans portation Bill was read a second time. Viscount DUNGANNON said he regretted that the bill did not contain a clause with regard to tickets of leave. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. The house resumed their onmmittee on this bill. The Bishop of OXFORD proposed a clause to the effect that, inasmuch as the marriage contract had been hitherto held to be indissoluble by the ecclesiastical law, clergymen of the Church of England should not be com pelled to celebrate against their conscience the re-mar riage of a divorced person. If this bill passed, the mar riage of divorced persons would be valid ; but by the law of the Church o f En g land those marriages could not be legally h s( t )le a clergymniged, and it would be a g r ea t h ar d s hip to of the ,Church of England, who entertained conscientious objections against such mar riaqes, to solemnise them. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that nothing would be more scandalous than for some of the clergy of the same church to say that they objected to solemnise such marriages whilst others, celebrated them without the least objection or scruple. (Hear) He had heard a right rev, prelate complain of the hardship upon the clergy that in inperforming the burial service they were compelled to say that certain deceased persons went— (here the noble and learned lord paused for a time)— ent up to heaven. (Laughter.) He c)uld assure their lordships he (lid not allude to the suiject in a feivoleus manner, but it would lead to great scandal that some of the cler g y might obey thP law and others refuse to do so, The, Earl of CARNARVON said he came .to quite a different conclusion from the hon. and learned lord. What the clergy complained of, and what t)aey had a right to complain of, was that, after entering upon a pro fession which excluded them from all others, and bind- T C OLBURN'S ,~ _~ CHURCH RATES.

Hear, hear.) HONDURAS. Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that he should, to morrow, put a question to the Government relitive to the non ratification of the treaty between this country and the United States relative to Honduras. MILIT ck.RY SCHOOLS. Lord BURGHLEY asked the Under-Secretary for War, whether the Government would allow the suns of those adjutants of militia who were retired officers of the Line, to be admitted to the military schools on the same terms as the eons of officers of the army ? Sir J. RA.MSDEN said that if the officers to whom the noble lord referred bad voluntarily retired cn half- pay, or received the difference, or sold their commission, they were not entitled to send their sons to the military schools the same as the officers in the army. TORTURE IN INDIA. Lord C. HAMILTON asked the President of the Bord of Control, whether any investigations, as to the practice of torture in Bombay and Bengal, were insti tuted by Government in 1854, similar to those which led to the Madras report of April 1855, and whether the re sults of those investigations would be laid before Parlia- went I Mr; V. SMITH said that the commission was only directed to enquire into those practices in the Madras presidency, bat L-rd Dalhousie having heard those practices prevailed in the Bombay and Bengal presiden cies, acted immediately under the authority of. Paris men; without waiting for another commission. The Legislative Council of India intended to introduce penal clauses to prevent, if possible, the ollitinuaixa of those practices in India, and be intended shortly to move for all papers relative to the subject. CONSTABULARY.—IRELAND. Mr. HASSARD a.ked the Scretary of Ste for the Home Department, if the Gavirnment intended in this session to carry out the determina'ion expressed by the Chief Secretary for Ireland, on the 27th of February last, " to introduce a bill for the redistribution of the constabulary force in Ireland among 4 the several coun ties ?" Mr. FITZGERALD said that he considered the hon. gentleman was wrong in his impression that the late chief secretary promised to introduce a bill. When the present chief secretary resumed his seat in that house, he hoped to be able to introduce such a bill. SERVICE IN THE ARIIY. Sir J. TRELA.WNY asked the Udder Secretary for War, with reference to an order of the 10th Jan., 1857, allowing soldiers made sergcanrs since that date to retain their previously earned good conduct money, whether it was the intention of the war authorities that sergeants created hef , re the 10th day of January, 1857, and whose good conduct money ceased under regulations then in force on their becoming sergeants, should remain in a worse position than their brother rion-commissioned officers who, without merit, had served for shorter periods in the rank of sergeants ? Sir J. RA.AISbEN said the hon. hart. must mean the inemorandrim of the 16th, and not the 10th of Jan. If he referred to it he would find that the allowance was made to all sergeants now serving, independent of their date of serving. (Hear.) JOINT-STOCK BANKS. Mr. IIEADLA IVI astood the Vice President of the Board of Trade whether it was the intention of the Go vernment to introduce any measure during this session of Parliament to regulate the construction of Joint- Stock Batiks, and more especially to apply the principle of limited liability to such establishments? v Tie CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said such a bill would be introduced. HARBOURS IN SCOTLAND. Lord J. HAY a,ked the Secretary of the Treasury when it was his intention to move for a committee of inquiry into the present state of the harbour of Wick, and the other harbours of Scotland. Alt. WILSON Paid that if he moved for a committee of inquiry it would not be confined to the harbour of Wick and the Scotch harbours, but to inquire generallf into all the harbours of the United Kingdom. (Hear, hear.) He intended shortly after the recess to move for such a committee, but he was afraid that their labours could not be brought to a conclusion owing to the advanced state of the session. NEUCH ATEL. In answer to a question from Mr. KINNAIRD relative to the treaty between Prussia and the Swiss, having re• ference to the Neuchatel question. Lord PAL M.ERSTON said that the treaty referred to had been accepted by both parties. It was actually signed by them a few days since, but it bed not yet been ratified. The question might be considered as satisfactorily settled. (Hear, hear.) RELATIONS WITH BRAZIL. Mr. ROEBUCK rose and said—My purpose on the present occasion is to invite the house to resume a func tion which it has abdicated for some time past. It is to undertake some part in the consideration of our foreign relations—matters which have been for some time past wholly and exclusively under the supreme control of the noble lord at the head of the Government. I repeat the house has abdicated this part of its functions. We have seen the portentous incident of a war declared against this state, an expedition undertaken, a battle fought and peace declared, and this house wholly uninformed upon the matter. Now, sir, I want t ) persuade the house on a matter very different from that to which I have just referred, to re-undertake its functions. The subject to which I invite the attention of the house our relations with the etnput of Brazil, and if the house • will for g ive me, I will preface what I have to say by a ver y short account of what I believe to be the situation in which we stand with regard to the government of the Emperor.
