The LORD CHANCELLOR. le mooing the woad mad.

marry spin, without as application to that hoses
fee a pirate bill. It was mere matter of mai-
quer:aa mirlosity to tram what bad bees the
coons of the law on the so ijeet ; but he might state, as
'hoeing the ground for his hill, this, in very remote times
so marriage could be diroolved without the 'section of the

'boost a matter of toure that their lordships wareld great a

with elms hoods and free from any gross team. The bills
thus mend were dealt with the same as asp other private

eta the seem eosin before it would be aot ooly surplice-
time Per div ors a /MN& meerinoonii, bet for divorces
memo et Mors. he proposed that the latter elm of ese, a.
sad .11 disputes betimes seas ami wife, shouts
be dealt with by the melesieetierl judge algae.
He would give • right of appeal from the
doggie.= of that mart 'o the bar of that home. to he
brought walla three otleadar 'tooth*. at Os lad et whisk

period, where there wee no appeal, the entente of the
court to take effuit. He was aware that great differene. of
opinion canted so to Inc her the richt of die roe ought to
be given to the wife as well as the hus^aud. On the first
blush of the ens and in the-uy it appeared that justice re-
quited that the wale should have the lame rebel al the
husband; bat in practice tile was really cot the cue.
Divorce was ordinarily sought by the bulkhead; sod if be,
by keeping a mistress, and being notoriously guilty of idol
tory, could niece the wife to apply for • divoree,he feared that
this sp.e:es of profiteer, would become much more common.
Betide., there wee a g I feeling that, where a husband
notated, and afterwards treated his wile with kindness, his
adultery was n .t that unpardonable species of crime •hieh
it was in the wife. It was in tea condo ed fa such
caw He therefore did not prop..se to give the
right of applying for a die,rce to the wife,
believing that there was much truth in Lord Stowell's re-
mark, that when parties knew that they must live together
as man and wife they made much better husbands and
wine. Cues might arias where divine ought to be
granted to the wife; but she would be in no wine a posi-
tion than at present. A; plieetione for divine on the part
of the wife were eztremels run; h, believed there bed sot
been more than four ease. in the lost century and a half.
There was moth, r else in whir h the conduct of the husband
had been very gross. His noble friend sit' there were two
other instances ; but et all events cues of this kind Were
very rare sad could not be made the e.ihieet of ally a priori
legislation. Hie noble and learned friend handed, he
believed, to more that the bill should be referred to ■ select
I wiemittet, but the sarjeet had already been thus invnti-
gated, and he really eould not etc what object weld
be gamed by again sending it befit.e a committee. It
was • simple question of primeiple ebb* their
lordships bed to decide ; end any defect in the
details of the bill might re remedied in committee.
With regard to Ireland, he should be p rfectly willing to
11 take into consideration the question of whether a similar
tribunal should not be established there. Such a comes
would to doubt teed to diminish the expense of Irish nits;
and he should re willies, therefore, either to insert climate
with regard to the sister c .sentry, or to bring in soother
bill with the same object.
Lord LYNDHURST had thought it his duty to smolder
with mutt institute the bill of hi. roble and 1 d
kind ; and the conclusios be had come to was, that it wee
onastiof.etery, and ought not to be parsed into a law. In
mat material @imamate:owe it would render the pod.
lion el the woman worse, raiser than better. The noble
and !vented lord concluded by moving tilt the bill, sad the
law and practice of divorce be refeneu toe 'fleet committee,
wish (Intuitions to ingot. whether soy, and what, deviations
it will he proper and jest to make in the send bill, and to

Lord BROUGHAM menoded the motion.

Ulna good from the select committee, but he would sot
sift its appointment, after the second r..adieg of the bill. It

The bill was then read a sexind time, end ordered to be

elusively restoaeible for the advice tenth red. He referred
the cue t ) the judge who tried it, and rereived bte obaer-
trations upon it, but he di &hied to diva the document.

THE REPORTED SECRET TREATY.
The Marquis of GRANBY asked whether it was true,
as reported, that there existed • secret treaty between
Frew, Asatria, and England ?
Lord PALMERSTON—If tners wets • worst treaty—
(laughter)—the wads lord enuld hardly *sped me to make
it no secret. (Laughter.) The noble lord's question re-
minds me of one pat by the late member for Montrose, who
*eked for • return of the ezpendi•ure of the Hetet 'seek%
money. (Laughter) I can ony say that the only treaty
emended is that which has ban laid oa the table of the
house.
THE BALLOT.

Mr. H. BERKELEY said that in pursue.., of his moles
he rose to renew his entreaty that the house would permit
him to pass such a

of bunitliation and degradation In which they were plunged
by voting without the ;robotic's o' the ballot. (Hear, bear.)
It was a bard and unpleasant task—that which he im-
;coed on himself. He felt des ply the Ind deem* he received
from the hones oe former t maltose, particularly at the
hands of those who were p Attica rpponents. This 'queer ion
was so abhorrent to many hoe. gentlemen, who r. girded
the votes of their tenants seaport of their power, that he
should sot be surprised if they said to his, in the lc hemp,
of the pet, that he was going to " cleave the panel
ear with horrid speech." (Laughter.) He bid under-

, (untied peewee, both in and out of the home, edmeated
this epsilon. The great mei vity of those persons re-
mined their opinions, but tome had chanced them.
It was remarkable, however, that them who Massed
their opinions on this 'petition, either changed Moir
polities altogether, or else changed their coati-
mesons from large boroughs to counties where the ballot
