COURT OF CHANCERY ACCOMMODATION BILL.
Oa the motion for the esocad reeding of this bill,
Lord REDEBDALE objected that it was one which ought
not to lammed hastily, since it mactionwl the appropriationof
4,0001. a year out of the suitors' fee fond to provide accom-
modation for the courts of equity, spirt from the accommo-
dation oldie law owes ; and he thought the whole subject
should be rehired to • select committee.
The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that the bill
would meta the least affect the public interest, and in only
object was to empower the Lord Chancellor to Mks • lease
from the oarporaMn of Lincoln's-inn, which could not be
done without parliamentary sauctioo. The Chief Commis-
sioner of Works had decided to giant a commission to in-
quire into the expediency of concentrating all the courts of
law in Lincoln's-inn gelds.

MAIIRLIOII WITH A DECEASED WIPE'S SISTER.
Last WODEHOUSE having premmted several petitions
ie Imam of this bill, moved that the bill be read • second
time. He said the question had been me fully and frequently
dimmed that he ibonld not trouble their lordships with any
lelgtheeed dissemiaa upon it. The question had made great
daring the last twoaty years, and the majorities
Vire, home of Perlianient in he favour had risen from
10 to Nand 70. Balm he soaked some of the objectionei
M the hill be wlshd tor 'Mat oat that
only related to dvii marriages, and did not com-
pel the clergy to eekbrate marriages to width
they might have • coandentious objection. The objections
to the bill 'night be divided tato two claim, the religious sad
the racial. With regard to the religious part of the question,
the opponents to the bill relied now very much kas on that
argument than they did at Ant. The noble lord then quoted
the opinion of the chief rabbi, which was to the effect that
them marriages were not prohibited by the laws of Moses.
The Archbishop of Dublin also was in favour of thee, unione;
the Bishop of London, before he became a iuember of the
bones, petitioned in favour of the measure, and the Bishop of
rt. David's, though he voted againat the bill, bad siso
=esed his opinion that the scriptural objections to
maniere were only matters of informal end
construction. The Bishop of Manchester had m-
a similar opinion, though be declined to vote
so-
peened
the MIL He now came to the second objection,
which we, that these marriages, if permitted, would be pro-
&pony' of great social mils. This objection should be divided
into two the relations of • man to his wife's dater while Me
wife was living, and his relations to her sitar the wiles
death. As regarded the first, it was sold that this law pre-
vented a too close intimacy between a man and hie sister-in-
law. But there wee a much streamer barrier than that, end
that eras the estate:me of the wife. Than, with regard to tits
relationship with the aister•in-law after death, It was mid,
with great truth, that there wee no such natural guardian
for the children of a widower as the sister-in-law. If the
lady were elderly, there would be no impropriety in ber remain.
tag to live with the widower after the wills death;
bet it they were bath young, her remaining in the
home would canoe great scandal. With regard to the
poorer clauses of society, It was the opinion of many persons
well qualified to judge, that the present state of the law caused
great immorality. On this point he quoted the opiates.
of the Rev. Mr. Champoeye, the rector of Whitechapel ; the
Rev. Kr. Dale, the rector of St. Panama • the Rev. Dr. 1
Hook, late vicar of Lode and now Den 'of Chichester,
which were all confirmatory of the views he had stated.
When the oonmeissioners reported, it was supposed that 500
of these marriages took place annually; but there was reason
to believe that now there were upwards of 100.1
Then it should be remembered that in all,o the
countries of the world, except in Ruesia by the Greek
church, them marriages ware permitted. In Rom an
catholic countries they were permitted by dispeneatlon.
There wee no State in America in which those marriages
wore not permitted. They were sanctioned throughout Gee- 1
many, In all the Protestant Cantons in Switzerland with one
mamma and in Prussia. The oily eras n for maintaining
the restrilaion we Imperative necessity, but no much imps-
istive necessity had been shown to exist. Quite the cm-
teary. The increasing majorities In the other home and the
.amber of petitions which hod been proemial afforded an
ample reason why their lordships should gam the dedebne
of the Howie of Commons and pass the bill. (aw; bear.) 1
Lord DUNGANNON, feeling convinna that Oho most
serious evils would result from the raw a wok a
measure, moved, as an amendment, that it he moll
that day Mx months. There we. not a dole test,
in Holy Writ permitileg or sanctioning merrier= et this'
description, and it was a most extraordinary eminent to say
that because they were not directly prohibited they might be
indirectly sanctioned. He had the satiefection of knowing
that many of the most dietinguished members of their lord-
ships' house were opposed to the bill, and amongst them be
might same his geese the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Bishop of Oxford, wives eloquence on a previous dlscuo,ion
of the subject be should never forget.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE was glad that hie noble
friend had abstained front those offensive allusioas
in which the opponents of the bill were too
frequently In the habit of Indulging, and tau-fed
that the example which he had eat would be followed
throughout the debate. The law as it now stood was teemed
upon an antiquated canon, mutest a thee when the Chr'stian
dearth was departing from Its purity. He should vote for this
bill, because be held that on religions, morel, and social con-
siderations these marriages were perfectly unobjectionable—
that they tended to promote the happiness of the parties and
the welfare of many. motherless child, and he thought their
prohibition was • roes ',tektites of the rights of conscience.
nem were his opinions, given la the words of • right rev.
member of the bench, who was prevented by domestic aMic-
dem from being priment the evening.
He therefore trusted
that the two well known opponents of the bill, whom ho law
now on the epiecopsl bench; would not arrogate to themselves
to be the mouthpiece of the right rev. bench, as one of
them (lid when the subject was last under discus-
sion. Their main objection was of an ecclesiastical
and canonical nature, sad they sought to interpret
the Scripture by the canon, not the canon by Scripture. It
appeared from the evidence of the right rev. prelate who
lately euper:ntended the populous parish of St. George,
Bloomebury, that the poor people knew very little of the
illegality of these coarriages,aud If they were aware of It
they di
spensed with the marriage carentony. The law which
produed such a state of Wags was monstrous, and ought to
bo changed.
Tho Bishop of EXETER trusted their lordships were
not now prepared to say that marriage wee a mere
civil contract, and that mardsges might be performed in
the registrar's office which were incestuous and
coatrery to the law of God. He felt that if
he approved of them be should be unfaithful, a traitor, end
an apostate to the church of which he was a bishop. He did
not Irish to par judgment on others, who did not see their
duty as it appeared to him the plain common sense of English.
map meat me It ; he wee sure they bad convinced themselves
ln tome extraordinery manner that they might fly in the
floe of that church of which they were bishops, when they
hod bolted themselves to put dove morons that were cri.
mincing, and to maintain the law of God.
Lord ST. LEON ARDS pointed out the great axial alte-
ration ale bill would muse is families, and the incon-
venience and jealousies which would flow from their being

;lino; itrd
The Bishop of ST. ASAPH believed that peat miscon-
ception prevailed in the ommtry with respect to this quotient.
Re wee one of those who believed that these marriages were
forbitiiion the low of Clod, in the &me ernes u
polygamy was, sad exactly on the same grounds and for the

;anti relines.
Vimpount LIFFORD mentioned instances, one of them
that of a noble ler), where ouch man twee hod taken piece,
to the death-bed of the dyne wife; and others, where the
deemed wife had reqloested the husband to marry her =tar
OS BOOS SO this cruel law was rept sled.
Lard CRAN WORTH remarked that his opinion upon the
question remised unchanged. That opinion was founded
upon the so. i4l not upon the religions ground, for upon the
religious ground there wee so mach difference of opinion
wronger th..e who were authorities on the subject, that he
thought it unadynable to proceed upon that. It was foe the
sake of the women of England that he opposed the bill, In.
Boeing that it would be imposeibis for a wife to receive her
elder under her roof on the same terms of intimacy with her
litoband as she could now, were the eliding law repealed.
The Bishop of CORK supported the WI on the ground that
such marriages uit referred to were not contrary to Glod's
law. As a natter of expedienty, therefore, be thought they
ehould not stigmatise marriages which were not contrary to
Gee law or to nature as illegal, and bastard= the Wm.
(B eer.) He knew of nothing that would more tend to
which
bring
the legielature into contempt then to insist upon laws

Upon the religions pond he observed that the highest opts-
,' copal authorities were rn his favour, end he denied altogether
' that, even if these marriages were fotbidden by the Levitical
1 I law, they were forbidden to Christie= with whom the
licseic law wee net binding. Bet if there were certain mu- I
Asses forbidden by the Jewish law, sad pule/table by pains
and penalties, the Jewish law did not deslare that thee Were

diseolve parliament without feeling a moral conviction that
the result would enable him to carry on the government of

subject, to use every effort to bring it to the earliest parable
public duty if, at a great crisis, they did not above all other
things consider it their bounden duty ire bring this question
to a satisfactory termination. (Hear.)
Sir E. B. LYTTON said that the hon. rotten= who had
jest sat down endeavoured with his lewd tan to divert the
attention of the house from the question at issue, as it had
been very clearly put before them by the right hon. genie-
man the member for Stroud. If this question must pus out
of the hands of the Derby government, Into whom hands was
itto pus ? (Hear.) Was it to pass into the hands of
those who at that moment were sitting before
him wcarefully frigid and candid! (pointing to
the seat occupied by Lord John Russell.) (Laughter.)
Would the bill brought in by the succeeding government be
satisfactory to those who professed radical opinions, or would
it be satisfactory to those who spent 26 years of their lives in
abjuring radical opinions! (Rear, hear, and laughter.) But
granting, after the solemn lecture dello:Red to the govern-
ment by the hoe. gentlemsnwho had just addann, that there
was uo appeal to the country, would there be no quarrel in
Downing-street ? Would not the quarrel of years on this
very subject of reform still exist there? (Heel If we
are told that our bill is condemned by public opinion out of
doore, then he replied that that public opinion required some-
thing more than was to be found in the amendment of the
noble lord. (Cheers.) It required something more than is
to be found in the spools of the noble to
; it would
require more than any whig government would venture to
Impose, cr than any conceivable government would
attempt. (Hear,bear.) He did not believe that the
lowering of the orough frostbite from 101. to 61. would be
a disadvantage to the conservative cause in that house. On
the contrary, he believed it would be indirectly
advents/oone to it. (Hear bear.) It would not
be a disadvantsge, because he took it for gronied
that whether there
• 101. or • 61. franchise, persons hold-
ing liberal opinions would be returned for the large towns.
There would. therefore, be no difference in the Wanes of
numbers. But what constituted the power of • party ? It
was the cultivated intelligence, the modesties- and good
tense of id members. (Hear.) All them edvantegus would
be gaimd more by a 101. constituency than by aK. conati-
toeney. (Beer, bear.) The worst enemy of the moderate
redeemer was not the colservative gentleman, but the dorm-
gut° adventurer. (Hear, hear.) It was by the dome-
gomo adventurer that the upright reformer was outbid.
("Hear, bear," and cheers.) To replace the upright
reformers in this house by the demagogic advectures
would be your lees and our gain, because they would not be
the came formidable competitors for power: they might
make a violent • opposition, but they could never units to
form the Queen. government. (Hear, hear.) Morally and •
intellectually, therefore, you would lose by 'atoning the
suffrage as you desire. (Rear.) Bat, en the other head, to
extend the bonnie in the counties and to admit the agri-
cultural villagers and labourers would be a gain to the con-
servative side, because they were more under the control of
property. (Rear.) What he bed pointed out would be the
remit of placing numbers not nadir the control ef peoperty,
but under the control of ignorance and passion. (Hear.) TIM,
thou, would be their gain; but he was far from wishing to
sec each a result. He did net wish fat the sake of European
freedom to see the great liberal pery thus morally da-
maged. (Hear, hear.) When, therefon, he asked them to
pause before they hastily committed themselves to a lowering
of the borough franchise, it was bosun ha believed they
could not always be smog in the house if they created they-
could
which would return liberal members of a lees
elevated standard than he sew before him. (Laughter.)
The lon. member for Davenport, following in the wake of a
'deer vessel. dwelt on the necessity of destroying the duller
boroughs because oniformity of suffrage was to he adopted
by our bill. On the contrary, what he said was this—tat yen
could not lower the borough franchise without destroying
the entailer boroughs. Your object was to bring a larger
portion of the working claw within the franchise. How
could you lower she franchise in the smaller boroughs with.
out lowering it in the larger ones where the populatiou
greater, where the artisans received higher was,
end where
they had probably more intelligence? The lowering of the
borough franchise was therefore indisselithly connected with
the smaller boroughs. (Hear, hear.) Who could doubt that!
Were there any persons in that house so innocent and
lambiike as to be led to the slaughter by the noble lord's
mending amendment? (" Hear, hear,' and lughter.)
Tee, there was one member. It was the hoc member for
Sandwich. (Laughter.)
" Pleased to the last he mops hie flowery food.
And licks the hand just raised to abed his blood."
(Cheers and laughter.) But when the seals were destroyed
then came the difficolty. To what places were they to be
transferred? Did hoe. gentlemen anppo'e that the govern-
ment did not go thoroughly into that question? They might
have made their bill more popular ; they might have pro-
duced a morn comprehensive measure—(bast, hear)—they
might have swept from SO to 120 boroughs away; but having
done so they found, se the noble lord said they found, at
by every consideration which could he reeognisa in
de ding with this question, the larger number of the vacant
rods mud be given to the counties. Meer, hear )
Others bad arrived 0 the same coucludon„ but if they had
done so, what would have been said ? (Hear) Bill
It
would have been said that they had prepared a
for the purpose of serving their own most
Tarty. They did
nothing of the kind—they had no wish to raise that
dangerous battle cry between town and country that mud
arise whenever they came to a vedistribution of seats. When-
ever that day came, the counties could put forward a claim to
a much large prep
than they now possess. (Hear,
hear.) The kind of bill that was desired by MUM, was one
which would involve a peeponderanoefof arbor celestite/amiss
with a lower franchise. That was the real question at 1441141,
and It was one much more important than the paltry ma
raised by the noble lord—it was a queetion which nearly in-
volved the dignity and power of that house. The proper
object of • Reform Bill was to increase the dignity and
power of the House ef Commons ,• If it failed in that, what-
ever might be its roachisery, ft was utterly worthless.
(gear, bear.) Let them look at the hu
mbly, f
• moment.
That wee not merely • popular anembly, it was also a
deliberative one—it smelled the h' hest function', and
arrogated to itself the right of examining the moat subtle
questions of home and foreign policy. In that rasped it
differed from all titer free colonial legislatures. Whatever other
ptivileges trey might posseas, they could not even Mims

foreign policy—that belonged to the imperial assembly alone.
Take even the American Amembly. Tho Home of Re-
preantatives scarcely ever touched on foreign politico melees
in the case of a martian of the tiriff or public money.
Foreign politics belonged to the Sena% and whenever the
Senate discussed the ratification of a treaty or a queen. ei of

The moon was, that the Home of Representatives bad

looked,

THE GALWAY LINE.
Mr. CONINGHAM maul whether the government bad
yet arrived at an dead= win reference to the proposed
embeidy to the Galen fleemea-paramet Company ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that
the government bad come to adsobion, the terms of whirl
were nbetanilally sanded, bat the contract had not yet bosh
completed. Mar, hear.)
THE POST-OFFICE.
Mr. KINNAIRD asked whether say alteration had been
mule in the charges, or other arrangements, of tee inland
book post; and when the alteration would take pine by
which an additional penny would be chirped for the Wenn
through Egypt of newspapers sent yin Southampton to India
or Austrain P
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said there had been no alteration
whatever in the charges of the book post, though many
curious min-statements had no doubt lately appeared hi the
newspapers. From time to time increased fecilities had bees
given for the transmission of books, but no restrictions bad
ben imposed. (lien.) The alteration last re'erred to by the
hon. gentleman would tot take place till the Ist of January
next. There would be no increase of charge on newspapers
going through Frame or by the Cape ; but the Pacts el
Egypt had takes a larger ewe for the trauit of our com-
pendium and it bad therefore become necessary to charge a
penny additional upon newspapers going through his
territory.

'lb. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to
the hen. beronet not to persevere with hie nieVon, and re-
minded him that mama pntlmeea who had precedence over
bite had given way.
Sir J. TRELAWNT would move that the debate be
adjourned. At the same time he did pot me that there
mould he any considerable advantage in postponing his
lure, in in order to permit the resumption of the debate on the
Reform Bill. Gentlemen of avowed views on that subject
did not stem to be at all agreed as to the provisions which
should be inserted in the bill, whereas hie mason was one of
really practical legislation.
After a short conversation the debate wee then adjourned
till this day (Werhands7).
THE REFORM BILL.
The debate en the Hake. Bill was recommenced by
Mr. WILSON, who *noted both to the principle and
details of the bill, and should be mewed to vote either for
the amendment of Load J. Russell a that of Mr. Walley.
The noble lord simply peepored a resolution for pottier; the
