man to do that which the incumbent tea refused
to do. '. I avow," exelaimed this Predate,
like another THOMAS AIIECKET, "if I knew of

" from clutching the paltry fee which would fall to
" him, that you propose to do away with all that was
" held sacred in the solemnization of the sacred rite."
Of course, this frothy rhetoric means nothing. This
intemperate Prelate has no more serious intention
of doing what he says, and of appearing
with his inhibition at the doors of the

consistently demonstrated by cutting him in society.
The picture his lArdship draws of his spiritual chil-

some exaggeration in the description. A man is apt

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26

Can smile, and be a villain—
is just tho man who would rouse the eloquent indig-
nation of mach a person ss the present Bishop of
OXFORD.

Aeorr one o'clock yesterday morning the
famous Divorce Bill received the sanction of the
Howse of Lords. Certainly many of these old Peers
show considerable vigour even in this sweltering
weather. These are uot the sort of days in which a
man cares to week himself into a passion. Still that
testy old lawyer, Lord Sr. Istosisans, disencum-
bered happily of his long wig, did not hesitate to
lose his temper ; and that sleek ecclesiastic, SAMUEL
of OXFORD, enveloped in all the paraphernalia of
satin and lawn, waxed hot amid the blaze of his own
rhetoric. But it was no use. The whole argument
against this Bill has been a sham from the beginning.
Its opponents knew perfectly well that,as no change
is the sulmliustice law of divorce was introduced,
the only alteration contemplated was in the
procedure. The law of one hundred and fifty
years was to remain untoiacled. ThC mere
judicial procedure was to be changed. But to
the High Church opponents of the Bill all this
was irrelevant. Their objection was to any divorce
whatever. Their private theological opinion, which.
as the Bishop of Lostmx raid, differs from that of
the Church of England, is that marriage is indis-
soluble. To maintain this opinion has been the
real object of all their efforts. The opposition,
we repeat, has been conducted on sham
pretexts, dictated by dogmatic fanaticism. If it
were necessary to show to what extremes such fana-
ticism will sometimes lead even sensible noblemen,
just consider the conduct of Lord REDEsDALE. He
is the Chairman of Committees, and, therefore,
knows most accurately the rules which govern the
Horse of. which he is a member. Nevertheless,
finding his party in a majority on Friday last,
he was ready, against all well-established usage,
to snatch a division which would have had
the effect of postponing this Divorce Bill till
next Session, and thus of throwing to the
winds the labour of months. This attempt at
a pious fraud was worthy of the sacred importance
of the dogma at stake. But, happily, it was
defeated. For his Lordship, seeing the discreditable
position which he occupied, withdrew his motion.
At length, therefore, the Bill may be considered as
passed. The modifications introduced by their lord-
ships are after all not very material. The Quarter Ses-
sions, though not a tribunal in which there is any su-
perfluity of legal learning, would probably have admi-
nistered very creditable justice in questions of judi.
cial separation. But the House of Lords—many of
whose members take an active part on the County
Bench—is of • different opinion. Weak bodies
proverbially take • pleasure in showing their power,
and this motive, rather than any pleasure their
lordships may feel in disparaging themselves, no
doubt suggested the alteration. Further, their lord-
ships, it seems. will not hear of • woman obtaining a
divorce for " adultery committed in the conjugal re-
" sidenee." There is danger, we are told, of collu-
sion: and Lord MONTEAGI.E, with that fecundity of
invention which distinguishes his countrymen in
these matters, suggests the danger to which a hus-
band might be exposed by his wife persisting in
hiring pretty lady's-nisida. We observe that the
Bishop of OXVORD ham re-inserted the clause by
which the husband's petition for divorce shall be
dismimed if he has been guilty of adultery after A correspondent of the Daily News suggests that
marriage. There may be room for a difference of the Right Hon. Babingtos Memenlay be put in nomination

SIR WILLIAM CODRINOTON'S NEW
COMMAND.
(FMB the fixers.)
Sir William Codrington is appointed to the com-
mand of—the Prince of Wales. The Court Circular ea-
nouneee that this distinguished general has gone to Kiinigs-
winter, on the Rhine, to be in attendance on the youthful
Prince. The public will perhaps, in these times of war and
tumult, have anticipated other commands fur the great
Crimean soldier,—not moro honourable, of course, but per-
haps more arduous. We will not believe that his youthful
royal highness really requires a first-rate general to manage
him. Re is, from everything we have been able to hear, a
most goodmatured, amiable young prince, endowed with
• sweetness of disposition which softens down all
tho stillness of rank, and endears bin to all who
are placed around him. We allow that sixteen

Diothers, aunts, and sisters fear sixteen, and resign then.-
selves meekly to the approach of • period of trial. Sixteen
