place, it having been agreed that the debate should be
adjourned until after the other orders of the day.
Mr. ANSTEY moved, as an amendment, that the de-
bate be continued at six o'clock.
The SPEAKER said that motion was irregular. The
House could not entertain a motion which was inconsis-
tent with its own order.
Mr. ANSTEY said he would make another motion,
viz., that the debate should be adjourned until to-morrow.
Mr. REYNOLDS, in reply to certain observations
made by O'Gorman Mahon concerning himself, said he
supposed that Gallant Member wanted him to take a re-
turn ticket to Weybridge—(Laughter)—but he assured
him that he was not to be bullied.—(Laughter.)
Mr. D'EYNCOURT said if it was the general wish
of the House, he would withdraw his motion to enable
the debate to come on again to-night.
Mr. KEOGH thought, if the:Government were sincere,
they ought to fix a day for the debate, and not call on
Members to abandon their motions.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was quite impossible for the Government to fix any of
the few days left them for debates which were not con-
nected with the immediate and pressing necessities of
public business. He had already thrown out a sugges-
tion, and he must leave Hon. Members to settle the
matter among themselves.
After a few words from Mr. SCULLY and Sir A.
CAMPBELL,

The House divided, when there appeared—

Lord PALMERSTON, in pursuance of his notice,
rose to more that the House at its rising do adjourn till
Thursday. There was no hope of any public business
being got through to-morrow, unless there was a call of
the House, and the only other alternative was to propose
the present motion.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD was under the ne-
cessity of opposing the motion ; but he was obliged to
do so, as one of the orders of the day for to-morrow re-
lated to a question in which he himself was concerned.

Mr. ANTEY moved that the debate be adjourned,
in order that the country might see whether the House
preferred the amusement of the race-course to the busi-
ness of the country.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the amendment ... 43

For the original motion ... ... 190

The motion was accordingly agreed to.
Mr. FITZROY then moved that the House do adjourn
at once until Thursday. It was evident to him that no
public business could be got through to-night.—(Hear.)
After a few words from: Mr. Anstey, Mr. Newdegate,
and Mr. D'Eyncourr, the House divided, when there
appeared—

The House then adjourned at Six o'clock until Eigh
o'clock.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY

BENNET'S DIVORCE.

Their Lordships sat thisafiernoon,fr the purpose of
bearing evidence in support of the second reading of
this Bill.

Mr. MEREWETHEA stated the circumstances of the
case. The parties were married in the year 1833, and
lived together until 1814, having issue two sons, now
aged eighteen end fifteen. In the month of August,
Mr. Bennet ,being absent on a shooting excur-
sion in the north, Mrs. Bennet suddenly disap-
peared, taking with her the youngest son,
leaving behind her no trace of where she had betaken
herself to. After repeated inquiries Mr. Bennet, having
followed her through France and Italy, discovered Mrs.
Bennet residing at Valencia in Spain under the name of
Fremantle. In an interview which he had with her
there he endeavoured to persuade her to return to Eng-
land, but in vain, and after repeated efforts, all he could
do was to prevail on her to surrender to him his
youngest son, whom she had with her, and to ex€ cute
a deed df separation. All that time Mr. John Henry
Touchet, with whom Mr.
.Bennet suspected his wife to
have eloped, was also residing at Valencia, but Mr.
Bennet was unable then to obtain any evidence of an
improper intercourse between the parties. From that
time Mrs. Bennet continued to reside abroad, and on the
21st of August, 1851, the petitioner being at the Reigate
Station, saw Mr. Touchet standing on the platform
there, and having some reason to believe that his wife)
was expected to arrive in England from Boulogne,
he set a watch on the parties. Mrs. Bennet,
iu fact, did shortly arrive at Reigate station, where she
was received by Mr. Touchet. The two then proceeded
to Horsham, and engaged apartments at the King's
Bead Inn, not as man and wife; and that night after
all the house had retired to rest, Mr. Touehet was seen
to leave his own room and go into that of Mrs. Ben-
net, where he remained till the next morning. Mr.
Bennet brought an action against Mr. Touchet for trim.
con., and recovered 5001. damages; he also obtained a
divorce in the Consistorial Court; and finally made the
present application to dissolve the marriage.
Several witnesses were called in proof of this state-
ment, and at half-past four the further consideration of
the Bill was adjourned until Friday.
