Lord UAGII moved the second reading of the Marriage

Lord RODZSDALI moved that it be read • seoond
time that day six months.
Lord LYNDHUNIT did not address the House upon the
general subject under discussion, but referred to the
State of bfirosachwirts, where the marriages objected to
were legal and of constant ocaurrenoe, and he under.
took to say that in no civilised part of the world
was there to be found • more moral and intelligent
people.
Lord DUNGAWNON opposed the Bill.
The Archbishop of CADITIIIDUST must adhere to the
opinion he formerly e•prisesed, that the marriage which
ii WAS the purpose of the Bill to legalise was forbidden
in Scripture. He trusted the Bill would not pus on
the double ground of what he believed to be the purport
of Scripture and the social welfare of the community.
Lord CRANWOITH leaving entirely aside the riillgioua
branch of the question, must oppose the second reading
of the Bill on the ground that It would do violence to
the feelings of the great mama of the English cow
munity.
Lord WODINOUIIi supported the second reading of
time Bill.
. .

The Bishop of OXFORD strongly opposed the second
reading. On mere ground. of humanity he asked the
objection of the Bill. God's law was positive, And
those who take )ode law for a guide °an 1111,VO no hosits•
tion In sayint to the advocates of these marriages, " We
refuse you a fatal privilege which may bring down God's
ours@ upon you."
Earl GRANVILLI supported the second reading.
Tim Bishop of RIPON oordially supported the second
reading. In Ids opinion there wan no direct Sariptual
prohibition of the marriage of a man with his dimmed
wife's sister. On the contrary, he believed Sculpture
sanctioned these marriages. In a social point of view
he believed that very great evils were °animated with
the existing state of the law.
The Bishop of Exeter violently opposed the Bill. He
said that should the Bill pass persons might marry
under it, but a faithful minister would violate his func-
tions by adinitting them to receive the holy onmmunion
a faithful minister would be bound to declare that the
sacrament, whloli was neoeseary to salvation, if this
wretched Bill (here the right rev, prelate dashed on the
floor the oopy of the Bill which he held In his hand)
puerd, must be abandoned by every man who
should oontraot these marriages.
After eliciting an exulanation that those who approve
the Bill were not under the same anathema,
Lord OVLIMONC regretted the language which had
fallen from the Rohm:pal Bench, as it was in his
opinion, injudicious, unwise, and to a certain degree
unchristian.
The Bishop of LINCOLN opposed the second reading.

On the order for the second reading of the Metropolis
Local Management Act Amendment Bill,
Bit H. WILLOUGHBY objected to entrusting such
extensive powers to a Board which was not • repre-
sentative body, end asked whether the rate was to fall
upon the occupier or owner, or both
Mr. AMMO objected to the Government gnat-antes,
contending that the sum of 0,000,020 would by no means
cover the amount required for the proposed plan, and
that a system of deodorization, which had been proved
to be succeseful, might be carried out at less than the
annual interest upon the sum to be guaranteed.
Lord J. MANNXIIB observed, that the House had
Justified the saying that it had hot and cold fits. A
fortnight ago the Government had been called upon to
svttle this question within 24 hours ; and now, after they
had framed a scheme, which they deliberately recom-
mended the Howie to adopt, they were told it would be
better to postpone salon. If the opinion of the House
was that there should be no decision come to this year,
the responsibility of Inaction must be upon the House ;
on the part of the Government lie repudiated it. He
Insisted that the Government should not undertake such
a work ; that Be expense should be borne by the locality;
and that the municipality already established as a repro-
imitative of this great inetropolle should be entrusted
with tum work. In reply to Sir H. Willoughby, he said
the rate would be • sewer's rate, and what was commonly
called • landlord's rate.
After much discussion,
Mr. YULLIES, condemning the Bill, moved to defer the
second reading for three months; but this motion was
not mended.
The Bill was read a second time,
