In the House of Lords last night a brief discussion
took place on the presentation of a petition from Leeds.
on the prohibition of marriage between a man and his
deceased wife's sister. Lord WHARNCLIFEE, when he
presented the petition, mentioned that a great number of
such marriages took place, in spite of the law, and that
the parties were well received in society. He is to bring
forward a motion on the subject, but wishes, in the first
instance, to feel his way.
The Bishop of LONDON objected to the proposition
that if the laws of the Church, of which this was one,
were overturned, it would be fatal to the morality of
society. He was also afraid that the proposed change was
only the first step to further change. He trusted that
the laws of the Church, which had existed almost from
its formation, would be preserved. Several petitions
were presented, when their Lordships adjourned.
In the Commons, the principal business was again the
adjourned debate on the Sugar Duties, which was again
adjourned, to be resumed on Monday next.
It was commenced by Mr. GLADSTONE giving a very
long explanation of the circumstances attending the De-
merara estate to which Lord Howtex alluded in his '
speech. Lord IlowlcK afterwards reiterated his words,
'with some explanations and additions, which left the
GLADSTONES no gainers by the renewed discussion.
The chief speakers to the question were Mr. P.
HOWARD, Sir H. VIVIAN, Sir C. DOUGLAS, Sir H. PAR-
NELL, Sir EARDLEY WILMOT, Mr. H. BERKELEY, Mr. J.
PARKER, Mr. DISRAELI, and the CHANCELLOR Of the
EXCHEQUER. So exhausted as the subject now is, little
new was or could be said on it, but the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER gave a clear and forcible description of the
reasons for his suggesting the measure. He contributed to
strengthen the conviction that the opposition of the mere
Tories was hypocritical, for they had assented when in
office to a proposition for allowing the introduction of
Brazilian sugar at a very small discriminating duty.
That showed that no principle was concerned
in the matter. He was also suetessful in
convicting the gentlemen opposite to him of shirk-
ing all explanation of their own peculiar views, and
leaving the country in the dark as to what means they
would adopt to relieve the people and maintain the re-
venue. At the close of his speech, the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQER spoke in a desponding way of the pro-
bability of his being in a minority, and soon, thereafter,
in opposition. It is never the way to gain a victory to'
tell your troops that the battle is lost.
If it be lost in the House of Commons it is not lost in
the country ; and if the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
' *QUER and his friends will throw themselves manfully
on the people, and trust to truth and honesty to carry
them through, we will answer for their success. Mr.
MAcAuLAv on Tuesday evening began this sort of la-
mentation, as ifhe were quite overwhelmed by the tender
recollections which Mr. GLADSTONE had evoked of his papa,
and the probability of losing office. One of our Contem-
poraries praised his speech for its good feeling ; it
might become the individual, but it was not worthy of a
Cabinet Minister who is to lead a great party in a diffi-
cult contest, and who is bound to gain victories by con-
fidence. Despair is the parent of defeat. Lord JOHN
RUSSELL puts a bolder face on the matter, because, we
believe, he has a more earnest and sincere conviction
than either of the other Right Hon. Gentlemen, both of
the goodness of his cause and the certainty of speedy
success. The House adjourned before Twelve o'Clock.

We learn, with great satisfaction, from Ply-
n:outh, Manchester, and other places, that Tories,
as well as Whigs and Radicals, are exerting
themselves in favour of the total and immediate
repeal of the Corn-laws. That is a bread al:d
butter question a question of hunger or
a belly-full, a question of reasonable pro-
fit or of ruin, and such a question can-
not be answered or settled by any party devices.
Tories, as well as Whigs, who are losing their
trade, or losing employment, are now sensible
that an opportunity is afforded them, by the de-
claration of the Ministers of the Crown, with the
authority of her MAJESTY, of striking a heavy
blow at the accursed bread-tax, and that opportu-
nity, which may not be again afforded them, they
will not neglect. Our accounts from the manu-
facturing districts and from the mercantile towns
show that the greatest enthusiasm prevails.
There is to be another great meeting at
Liverpool and a great meeting at Manches-
ter, and we hope that the working classes
will feel themselves called on to aid the
good cause by the most strenuous exer-
tions. One great, one noble, one generous
effort, and that great combination of monopolists
and plunderers, which has recently developed
itself, to the astonishing gaze of the world, is the
House of Commons, will be dissipated for ever.
Put an end to the bread-tax, and all thelandowners
will become the zealous and faithful allies of the
people in putting down all similar taxes and all
monopolies. They will then be deprived of their
sinister interest, and will assume their proper
place of the friends and guardians of the poor.
Tories and Chartists will now nnite in the ma-
nufacturing districts to get rid of the bread tax.

great satisfaction to read the proceedings at
