lA. ea T.T m ! her favour. Ho did nut rest on his own opinion on this
RIAL PAIILIAag.L.O AT. point. Lord Thurlow stated that their lordships passed
divorce bills in a variety of cases—that they were go-
. verned in their judgment by the circumstances of each
particular case—that he did not know hove it could be
otherwise, beceu.e with respect to divorce oases there
was no rule to limit discussion or to contract the limit
and discretion of their lordshipe. It might be said that
the case to which Lord Thurlow referred was a case of
incest, but Lord Thurlow stated that he meant his oh-
eervatious to extend to Lord Audley's caee, which was
not a divorce case. But if they passed this bill, and
said that divorce could only be granted under particular
circumstances, their lordships could not go int )
other circumstances, and would have no discre-
tion. Undoubtedly there was an appeal to their
lordships, but their lordships would be governed by
the law of the court below. In the report to which
his noble and learned friend had referred, there was a
clause to the effect that there was nothing to prevent the
I woman, if the bill passed, from applying for a particular
Act of Parliament to dissolve the marriage. They were
asked to pass a bill which would enable the husband to
prosecute a divorce on easy terms, and they were leaving
the law just as it was with all its hardships on the wife
separated from her husband, with probably no means,
and, therefore, no possibility of redress. It had been said
that adultery on the part of the woman was more to be
condemned, because it might be the means ofintroducing
spurious issue into the family. Theauthority of Dr. John-
son had been referred to as a great moralist en this ques-
tion, but unfortunately the commissioners had only cited
a small part of the doctrine laid down in the conversa-
tion alluded to. He would supply the omission, and
would tell their lordehips what Dr. Johnson had said in
order that they might judge how far they would gol-
fer the great moralist to be their guide and master
on a subject of. this description. Dr. Johnson said that
between a man and his wife the husband's infidelity
was nothing—that a wise woman did not trouble herself
with the infidelity of her husband —that the difference
between the adultery of the husband and that of the wife
was, that the adultery of the wife might impose a bastard
issue on the husband—that the man, no doubt, was cri•
mina( in the sight of G.,0(.1, but that he did not do his wife
any material injary if he did nut insult her with open
adultery, and that she ought not greatly to resent his
conduct. That was the great moralist's doctrine. (Hear.)
An observation on this passage by another moralist de-
served attention. It was to the effect that the manner
in which the earlier pars of Johnson was passed had
given to his demeanour, and even to his moral character,
some peculiarities appalling to the civilised beings who
were the companions of his old age. Such was the
observation of Mr. Macaulay on the passage to which
he had referred. It had been said that if the
right of bringing actions of divorce for adultery
were extended, the courts would be choked with
them ; but he knew the character of the women
of this country too well to suppose that anything but
extreme cases would induce them to resort to such
actions. (Hear.) It bad been said by a recent wri!erg
that a man, though neglectful of marriage vows, might
be a kind husband and father ; but if they added to the
woman natural love for her husband and children, the
obvious interest she would have to remain in her home,
and to avoid exposure, they might be sure that few wo-
men would be disposed to avail themselves of the remedy
of the divorce. He was satisfied that the more their
lordships r fleeted upon the matter the more they would
find that married women, except in extreme case, wou'd
not avail themselte, of this remedy. There ought to be
no distinction between the adultery of the husband arid
that of the wife. He would read a passage from the
commission on which so much reliance had been placed,
to prove that all the great authorities were net against his
view of the question. In the report of the case ref the
Duke of Norfolk, Bishop Cozsns, in his judgment, said
" the bond of marriage is a conjugal union made between
a man and his wife that each of them will live to-
gether according to God's holy ordinance, noth withstand-
mg poverty, or infirmity, or such other things as may
happen during their lives. But the promise does not ex-
tend to tolerating adultery, which, according to God's
ordinance, dissolves the marriage. By adultery the very
essence of the contract is directly violated, but the con-
tract ceasing the bond or obligation depending upon it
(that is, the nuptial ties) ceases also. It is against all
reason that all matrimonial duties should he for ever
taken away, yet the bond or obligation to those duties
should continue." But he had another authority of a
higher character to refer to—a work called the " Refer-
'natio Legum Eccle-iasticarum," which hail been much
relied upon by the cornmissionin the reign ot E ward IV.,
composed ~f high ecclesiastics and members of both hotisz.s,
the object of which commission being the reformation of
the ecclesiastical laws. It was the principle of the eccle-
siastical law, as laid down in articles by the commis.
sioners—that the adultery of the husband should be put
upon the same footing as the adultery of the wife, and
that adultery in either case dissolved the marriage.
Ought there to be then such a dissimilarity between the
law in one part of the country and in the other. In the
recent committee witnesses were examined with respect
to the marriage law of Scotland. Was there more licen•
tiousness in Scotland where equality in diverce existed
than in England where the righ't was confined to the hue-
hand. There was a greater power in Scotland to dis-
solve marriages, and why give greater facilities in one
part of the kingdom than the other ? The then Lord Ad-
vocate and the Lord Justice of Scotland proved that the
wife had equal power in respect to divorce with the bus-
band. The witnesses were of opinion that no evil would
follow from giving wives power of divorcing husbands on
account of adultery. The evidence of the Scotch law, so
different to our own, showed that no evil could be anti,ii-
pated from allowing wives the power of divorce on the
ground of adultery of their husbands. Lord Eldon, in
Moffatt's case, expressed himself on the point in decided
otenrmthse. g

mitted the doctrine of the right of the wife to sue for
divorce, and supported the second reading of the bill on
the subject. His noble and learned friend had alte ed
bis opinion respecting the practice of that house, and he
would refer to his noble and learned friend, who would
explain his own view and reason of change on the subject.
With respect to the parties who had signed the commis
sion there was one person who had on a previous occa-
sion expressed himself strongly on tee subject. He hoped
he bad now shown that the weight of authority was net
in favour of the bill, but against it, and he hoped, there-
fore, their lordship-, would refer the bill to a select corn-
mittee, and he would conclude by making his motion in
the terms he had already given.
Lord BROUGHAM seconded the motion. Anything
more convincing, luminous, or more worthy of his noble
and learned friend he had never before heard or could
have imagined. The bill in question arose from a report
from a respectable commissiou ; but as he differed from
some of the conclusions of the report he was of opinion
the question ought to be dealt with in a larger sense and
on a wider basis. There was only one of two ways open
to deal with the question—either to deal with it in a
larger sense, or' to adopt the views of his noble friend
opposite, to give no remedy by divorce at all. The
practice of refusing remedy to one party as a matter of
curse, and granting it to another as a matter of eeurso,
appeared to Him eo contrary to comeren sense, law, and
humenitr, that he thought his noble and learned friend
was justified in taking the stand he hail taken on the
preeeet question. One case he recollected—that where
a man heel been convicted, and had married ansther
woman during the lif time of his wife, the wife was
allowed a divorce. Another case of the grosses', cruelty
and grievous and loathsome misconduct on the part of
the husband he remembered, and that the remedy of a
isuit for divorce was nearly refu-ed to the wife ; but it
was considered so cruel not to relax the law that net last
the suit was granted. Unhappily some facts came out
j r-eative to the conduct of the wife, although the loath-
' some conduct of the husband was proved beyond all
doubt ; and this was mole the ground of refusing the
prayer fir a divorce. He had al ways been of op melon
that tne practice ought to he abided by, and that, ex
cept in extreme ca4es, the suit of a wife tor divorce ought
not tie be permitted. In Scotland it was asserted by the
evidence sf the Lord Advocate that there were many
more divorces by husbands than by wives. This was
not correct. The number in four years ending 1840 was
20 in each year. In 1841 only 10 divorces were granted.
'rids tact was material to shosi, because it proved how
groundless was the fear that if the law of England as to
divorce was placed on the game footing as the law of
Scotland the number of divorces would he endless.
The return he referred to was not a return ter Edinburgh
alone, but fur the whole of Scotland. Ha found that
the proportion of divorcee, as far as regarded husband
and wife, was nearly equal ; for every nine by wives,
there appeared ten applications by husbands. These
circumstances offered the strongest reasons for
going before a committee, in order that all the facts
might be frilly inq mired into. There was another
great defect in the measure, by confining as it did the
rem, dy to the hu diand in cases of desertion. Now he
considered that desertion was even worse than cruelty,
and that the wife ought to have her remedy jest the same
as it was proposed to give the husband. There. was a
society established to ascertain the wrongs of women,
and he was over ehelmed with the evidence which bad
been elicited. One case he mould mention—a husband
had deserted his wife, and gone to live in a distant c a
lony. The wife could not go into any court to ask to be
divorced. It might be said she could come to that house
for relief ; but unless she could bring 600/., and get a
bill passed through that house, she would not have the
ehadow of a shade of chance of getting a divorce. This
husband might return a beggar from Australia, awl if
his wife had accumulated property by her industry, he
had a right to come and sweep the whale of it away. He
would not go further into the gross cruelties and inhu-
tnanities which the present state of the law afforded im-
punity to. The system in this country was more bar-
barous and inconsistent than in any other country, and
Ahenhaocpteirolnstoetpsc,would be taken to reform it effectually.

Brougham) would suppose the case of' an Enlish duke
of 14 years of age entrapped into a Scotch marriage by
a prostitute of '24. That marriage would carry all his
estates and honours by the Scotch and also by the Eng.
dish law ; and the unhappy young man would have no
possible means of putting an end to it. It was a state
of the' law which did no credit to the country. He
(Lord Brougeaeo
considered that the bill left the wife
worse than it found her under the present law, because
the court could not extend the rule as the House of Lord-4
did ; and therefore, on these grounds, he agreed with

friends by means of their political opponents. That cer-
tainly was not the most pleasant positron in which a
Whig Minister could be placed. Then there were other
considerations which made it still more unpleasant to
them. He found from an analysis before him that, al-
though the majority of hon. members in that house op-
posed to the ballot was considerable, yet that the num-
ber of the electors by whom they were returned was
ridiculously small in comparison with the rest. Added
to this, that tee maj eity of the non-electers in the coins
try were decidedly in its favour, and centinuail:t ex-
pressed' themselves unwilling to accept any measure for
the extension of the suffrage without the ballot. No ra-
tional man could arrive at any other conclusion, than
that if it were put to the country generally, the majo-
rity in its favour would,be enormous. They had in that
house about 244 gentlemen who had recorded their
votes in favour of this principle ; they had at their back
the flower of the electoral body, and they had the feeling
of the people with them. To such a body, then, he would
say nothing was impossible. How few years had elapsed
since the attempt which was made to abolish the corn
laws was termed by the First Minister of the'Crown—a
Whig Minister—madness. Ho w long ago was itsince they
followed into the lobby C. P. Villiers and a select body of
gentlemen, whom sensible Whigs and sagacious Tories
regarded as a select body of lunatics, and even the coun-
try gentlemen as they counted them at the lobby-door
looked as if they nere much afraid they would bite
them ? (Laughter.) All that had passed away, and what
had tt ey in its place ? Wit% , like a dissolving view, there
appeared that celebrated race between two celebrated
statesmen, Sir R. Peel and L ;rd J. Russell, to see who
should be first in at the death of the corn laws. Now he
asked any hon. gentleman in that house whether be be-
lieved that that race would have been run if the people,
booted and spurred, had not mounted on their shoulders
and urged them on ? All he could say was that he hoped
the people, assisted by some able groom—and there was
one in-Richard Cobden---would mount the shoulders of
his noble friend on this occasion, and if they did, with
all due respect to hi- noble friend, that they would not
forget the old age, " Spare the rod and you will spoil
the child." (Laughter) Such was the scarcity of argu-
ment, an I so threadbare bad the subject been worn, that
there was no puny whipster of an editor publishing an
obscure paper in an Irish hog, a Scotch moor, a Welsh
mountain, or an English plain, who was not on this ques-
tion perfectly able to master the subject. Ile would now
proceed to grapple with the various arguments which he
had seen recorded. It was not his fault that people
brought forward arguments which had been killed a
thzen times over. No doubt they would be told that it
was es warily, that it was un-Engli,h to vote for mem-
bers of Parliament by way or ballot, and he saw a right
him, gentleman on the opposite side who used to be
very fond of that argument. (Sir J. Greham bowed to
the hon. gentleman.) He would ,ay it appesred to him
a mockery of c minion sense. (L niyh'er.) It was plain
that the army and navy, the nobility and commonal,y
of this country, voted entirely that way in their clubs ;
and the logical consequeece was, that if ,t was cowardly
and un-Euelish, the' were a pack of c i'eards. (Renewed
laughter.) Let them answer tor that. It was said
that electors held the franchise in tru-t for the
non-electors, and that the trust must be exercised openly.
But that argumeet had been dealt with and destroyed by
Mr. Grote and Sir W Mole,worth. Even admitting the
franchise to be a trust, what was the definition of it- dis-
-1 charge ? If the elector voted for the man of his choice
uninfluenced by sordid inetives surely he discharged his
trust. But open vet ng by no mans showed whetie r
this were so or not. The vote was open and the motive
wan secret ; and open voting, so far from promoting the
due discharge of trust, led rather to its breach. Tee pre-
vailing rule of bribery was that the money should not be
paid before the vote was given. Take away the know.
ledge of the vote and you upset the system of bribery,
for the briber could have no confidence in the bribed.
Bribery, however, was the least part of the evil. Intimi-
dation was the monster evil, and open voting was its
life and its support. He would now call the attention
of the house to the state of the ballot in Amsrita. It had
been said . hat it was not used for secrecy, but merely for
convenience. This was a mistake. The ballot arose in
that country, like the game laws, from necessity. As
o p ovulation increased intimidation arose, and teak its
stand beside the voting urns. In those states in which
the ballot was enforced the evil had been suppressed.
Mr. Pierce, of Missachusette, bad written him a letter
(le answer to inquiri .8 of his) fully establishing this.
(l'he hon. gentleman proceeded to read the letter.) He
had another letter to the same effect, from the ex-secre-
tary of state r Ma=sachussetts. In consequence of those
;Aeries 04 law ha 1 enforce f the ballot in that state.
Tois was a picture of true Riglish intimidation. The
tyranny of the laudocracy in this c tuntry was rivalled in
America by the tyranny of the mercantile classes. The
Americans, however, had done their best to remedy the
evil, arid bad put their shoulders to the wheel to get out
of the moral mire. This country preffrred to "stick
in the mud " and wallow in corruption. Instead
of any effective measure there had been that most
ridieulous bill, the Corrupt Practices Prevention Bill,
which had done all it was intended to do—viz., nothing.
The hon. member read a speech of Mr. 'nth, at Bath, in
which he said that he knew of several cases in which
support- re of his h r l the "screw put on them ;" where-
upon Mr. Whately, the Tory candidate, said he had
kn iwn of several of his Fuppirters who had been treated
in the same way at B .stun. There existed a regular
bend of inert who were organised for the purpose of
bribery. There was the little town of Wells also. (Hear,
and laughter.) That town had been the scene of a strik-
ing con est. " When Wh.g met Whig then came the
tn.?, of were" (Laughter.) The hon. member read es-
' tracts from two (hill/ papers, detailing the proceedir.gs
of each p irry at the election referred to. Great complaints
had be-n ma le of the, proceedings at the Rochester elec-
t on, the hon. reember elected for that place declaring
that what he had seen practised there had decided him
to vote for the ballot. The coostituency of Leominster
had also petitioned in favour of secret votiog. But there
hal also been an elec, ion for Midburst—a place which
was a mere appurtenance to the Cowdery family. He
admitted that the patron had recently exercised g iod
taste in the nomination of members for this borough,
her that patron had replaced a most popular member
(Mr. Walpole) by another hon, and learned gentleman
wee known to literary ra ne (Mr. Warree). (Hear.) He
(Mr. Berkeley) was net at war with ither of those hen.
And learned gentlemen, but with the system of open
voting which they upheld. The present hon. and learned
member, when addressing the electors, had hail the
hardihood to tell them that their votes were unfettered,
adding that, being their representative, be fe;t "a proud
man, and their br ither." (A laugh.) Why, to hear
such words ally one would think the hon. and learned
member had bean reading hie own "Ten Thousand a
Year," and had treated the constituency to a ceapter

would have but little chance of success whist the British

Sir DE LACY EVANS ,seconded the motion; and
there were immediate calls for a division.
The SPEAKER having put the qu -siion,
Mr. PEACOCKS, amidst marks of impatience, re-
minded the bon. member for Bristol, that whilst dealing
copiously in general allegations against the present elec-
toral system, he had failed to adduce any individual in-
stances in support of his viesse. Net asi gle case of in-
timidetion had been adduced. The hon. member was
bound to show that the ballot would protect the honest
and conscientious voter. He (Mr. Peacock) was prepared
to prove that it would not. On the contrary, the only
man whom the sy-tem of secret voting would serve was
the liar, the hypocrite, and the knave. So far from secret
voting being a boon to the farmer or the tradesman, be
believed that, harassed by the spy and the informer, men
would sigh for a return to open voti-g a-id en appeal to
the poll-book, It was impossible to lo )k to th • fi silty
of the ballot without a f-elinz of alarm. The hon. mem-
ber said that under a system of secret voting there would
be ro corruption. What, however, had b n proved in
the case of Shoreham in 1781—a borough honk and
sold by a club called the Ch enian Club, and conducted
on Evangelical principles? Wild had subsseineetly been
proved in the case of Sudbury and St. Alban's? The hon.
member ( r Peso 'eke) preceded to point out the r!e•
moralising efr cre f secret v ting in Ameriev, and par-
ticularly in Now York, and went on to contend that the
change prop sad ire our electoral system ley tee intro-
duction of the ballot would lead, not only to an organised
system of err option, but an organ'• ed system of fraud.
(Hear, hear.) The working of the system on the large scale
of a general election might be garb red from the action
of the billet in a certain horticultural society in the
north, where, instead of 29 votes being found in the
ballot-box (the proper number), there were 49. (Hear,
hear.) Had we had any reason to resort to secret
voting, founded upon what had occurred abroad t There
was a general feeling in France that the election of
Louis Napoleon was not a fair election. No plan could
be ;devised more likely to bring representative; govern-
ment into contempt and odium than the ballot. (Hear,
hear.) If secret voting were extended to constituencies
and not to the members of the House of Commons, a
101. oligarchy would beerected, who would be enabled to
fashion legislation ace-wiling to their own par icular in-
terests, and shift burdens from their own shoulders to
the shoulders of others. (Hear, hear.) This inetion
was not opposed in an anti-liberal spirit. (Hear, hear )
It was really opposed on the interest of the unen-frau-
chised. (Hear, hear.) It was opposed, also, because its
opponents were unwilling to base our national represen-
tation on a system of universal lying and organised
hypecrisy. (Hear, hear.)
The calls for a division were repeated, and

THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS,
Mr. J. PHILLIMORE moved for leave to brine in
a bill to take away from all archbishops, bishops, and
ecclesiastical persons in England and Wales all /sewer of
appointing Judges and Chancellors, and vesting such
powers in the Lord Chancellor.
The motion was seconded by Mr. HADFIELD.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL did not oppose the
motion, and did not believe it was the wish of the house
that any opposition should be offered to the introduction
of a measure to remedy a crying evil, which, he said,
would have been removed if the bill brought into the
House of Lords had not met with an opposition which
had proved fatal. He made some observations upon the
difficulties encountered in the house, including unprofit-
able talk, in passing the measures for the reform of
ecclesiastical jurisdiction. - *
Mr. GLADSTONE, with reference to these observa-
tions, accused successive Administrations of not setting
their shoulders seriously to the wheel in grappling with

THE MARITIME LAWS.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUG3-Ef said his attention
bad been called to the subject of our maritime laws,
which had been referred to in the declaration made at
the recent conference held at Paris. It appeared to him
that the language used on that occasion left the ques-
tion in a very vague and unsatisfactory state. It was
highly desirable that the true meaning and intention of
the expression used should be clearly understood. With
a view of effecting that object, it was his intention to lay
upon the table some resolutions upon the subject he in-
tended to propose, Re thought it desirable that the purport
of these resolutions be clearly understood before his noble
friend (Lord Colchester) brought forward his motion on
the subject, which stood on the paper for Thursday next.
DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read-
ing of this bill, and shortly stated the marriage law as it
existed at a very remote pined down to the present
time, as well as the practice of the E4tablished Church
and the Church of R .me in respect to divorce. The
law upon the subject was in a very unsatisfactory state,
and it ought to be remedied. A commission sat a few
years ago, at which the Lord Chief Justice was at the
head, and it was on the recommendation of that com-
mittee that the present bill was founded. In
the present bill he proposed that instead of
those various and costly proceeding.; which were
necessary under the present law that a competent
court should at once be constituted, which would have
full jurisdiction to incolire into the matrimonial cases
brought before it, and if the charge of infidelity was
proved to grant a divorce. He proposed that
this oourt should supersede the necessity of
actions for crint, con., which he always con-
sidered of a very revolting nature. He did not propose
to abolish such actions if the parties desired to have re-
course to them ; but they sboul I not be a necessary pre-
liminary proceeding to the obtaining of a divorce. He
further proposed that the Lord Chancellor, the Lord
Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and another judge,
should preside in the court, and that there should be an
appeal to the House of Lords, as in all other cases.
This court is not to try cases at the instance of the
wife, and the law would, therefore, remain precisely in
the same state as it was at, present. It had been sug-
gested that the bill should be extended to Ireland. To
such a course he should not object, provided it was the
opinion of a majority of the house.
Lord LYNDETURST had thought it his duty to con-
sider with much attention the bill of his noble and
learned friend, but notwithstanding the respect he enter-
tained for him he must say that he thought the measure
ought not in its present shape to pass into a law. So
far from rendering the situation of the wife better, it
would render it much worse than it was at present.
Considering, therefore, the bill, the interesting moire of
its subject, and the exteneive application it would have,
ho thought, notwithstanding the inquiries that had
taken place, that the whole matter ought to be re-
ferred to a select committee. He was confirmed in this
opinion from what he had heard stated by a minister of
the Crown, a gentleman of great learning and command.
ing talents. A few months after the bill of 1854 was
withdrawn, the learned individual to whom he referred
stated, in a place pretty well known, his opinion on the
subject, and his sincere and earnest hope that when
another bill was brought in, due care and attention
would be paid to the woman and to the cruelty arid
hardship to which she was exposed. Supported by such
an opinion, he ventured to suggest that the whole matter
ought to be referred to a select committee. There were
many questions of great importance connected with the
bill, arid with the relations of husband and wife. The
matters of which the female had a right to complain
were—fir-t, as respected property ; secondly, as re-
spected personal protection ; thirdly, as respected actions
of erine con. ; and fourthly, as regarded actions for di-
vorce. It would not require many observations to ex-
plain those four points. With respect to property, he
was not attempting to interfere with property between
man anti wife when living together in harmonious con-
nection, bat when separated in consequence of the mis-
conduct of the husband by a sentence of the ecclesiasti-
cal court. At present the law was that the woman's
property belonged to the husband. If a legacy were left
to a woman so separated from her husband, or if she suc-
ceeded to personal property, it belonged to her husband.
The husband could seize it, and he generally did seize it.
He ha-I known cases in which the wife bad never enjoyed
property so left to her. I.; was a gross inequality, con-
sequent upon the present law of divorce, and ought to
be eta. r;ght. Again, if a wife succeeded to real property
by devise or inheritance, the husband, notwithstanding
the separation, occupied it during life. Much worse
than that, if the wife tried to eke out a scanty sub-
sistence for herself and children by instruction, the
husband. could seize her gains and give them to his
mistress. Surely some provi,ion ought to be
made, in legislating on the law of divorce, to sit
such a question right. With time exception of a
scanty allowance io the shape of alimony, the per-
sonal preperty of the wife belonged to the husband,
and be might assign or bequeath it, and leave her and
her children destitute. There was no reciprocity or
equality in such a case. I. hail been sal I that marriage
settlements would prevent such things being done, but
they well knew that settlements were confined to per
sons in a certain rank of life, and that nine-tenths of the
marriages took place without any settlement. Another !!
point was, that a woman separated from her husband by
sentence of the ecclesiastical court, in consequence of
his misconduct, his adultery, or cruelty, was almost in
the condition of an outlaw. She could enter into no
contract, not even into a lease for her residence. She
was liable to injury by violence and insult in -every
way, and her character might be traduced without
her having a civil remedy. That was not a state of
things to be continued. When a husband brought an
action against a supposed paramour he asked for
damages as a solatimn for his injured honour. It was
altogether an affeir of money. But to the wife it was
an affair of life and death. She bad no refuge. Nobody
would countenance her ; and no society would admit
her. Was that a state of things which ought to be al-
lowed to continue? In any action of that sort, although
she had everything at stake, she was not all Owed to ap-
pear. That also was a subject which deserved to be con-
sidered. They all knew that a bill passed through that
house on this subject 40 years ago by a large majority,
and that, though supported in the other house by Mr.
Pat, Mr. Wyndham, and Mr. Wilberforce, and other
eminent men, it was there lost. With respect to the law
of divorce, their lordships knew that it was administered
solely by the ecclesiastical courts. As had been stated by
hid noble and learned friendgdivorcen were of twin kinde
—a men et atop°, and divorces a vinculo matrimonii.
No divorce a z-inculo was granted by the ecclesiastical
courts except for grounds that existed before marriaec ;
but divorces a mensa were granted for cruelty and adul-
tery. Since shortly after the Reformation marriage
was not dissoluble by an
lation y proceedings short of lege-
, and marriages could now oniy be dissolved by
acts passed in individual cases. This practice had
been .productive of greet inconvenience. Every-
body had exclaimed against it—the expense was enor-
mous, 700/, or 8001. in ordinary cases, in some instances
more ; and, consequently, it was only certain privileged
classes that could obtain a divorce. Several attempts to
effect a change in the law had been made, but without
success. His noble and learned friend on the woolsack
now proposed a new tribunal for divorce cases. Such a
tribunal should be accessible not merely to the upper
classes, but to persons of moderate means. But, accord-
ing to the bill before them, there would have to be an
investigation into each case bef ire two jud tee,
to examine and decide. To that he did not (eject ; but
though the object was to have a cheap tribunal the bill
provided that after decision by the tribunal either of
the parties might appeal to the Home of Loris for its
rival decision. Their lordships [Meta either confirm
the decision or direct the court below to examine new
witnesses or former witnesses, on a new fact, and might
direct issues to be tried. His noble and learned friend
had established all this complicated machinery for a
tribunal which was intended for persons of moderate
mans. Re doubted whether it would not occasion inure
expense than the law as it now steod did. But the prin-
ciple of the bill was that a married woman was to have
no remedy in a cue of adultery, however atrocious
might be the conduct of her husband in connection with
it. The conduct on his part might be so infannms that
it might be a horror for the wife to be connected with
such a man, yet the only ground on which the wife was
to have a claim to a divorce was in case of incest on the
part of the husband. It was said that adultery on the
rit o the
part of the wife might bring spurious issue
gt
family, but did it follow that circumstancesmih
such as to render it necessary that the
merria;e should
be dissolved for other causes ? If a woman was married
to a man notorious for atrocious cruelties and Tor his
infamous conduct—to a man living in open adultery.,
was she not, under such circumstances, to be relieved
from her married obligations ? His noble and learned
friend bad looked to the ease of the husband, and had
regarded him
,merely ae somewhat profligate ; but
what was the situation of the woman ? Her hopes were
blighted ; she was driven from her home, perhaps sepa-
rated from her children, doomed to live almost alone in
seclusion, with no one on whom to fix her affections ;
exposed to the arts and designs of a base and profligate
man, scarcely able by any care or caution to avoid the
tooth of calumny or slander, and living on the brink of
desolatinn. Such was the stite of the woman. Re bad
d escrihed the state of the wrong-doer, and he would ask
their lorlships whether the law ought to be allowed to
continue in its present state ! The noble and learned
lord said that the wife was to have no relief except in
cases of incest ; burhe might take another case, and
suppose a husband living in open adultery, and cone-
znitting some infamous crime which brought upon him
a sentence of transportation. Was the woman to be
tied to such a monster ? (lima bear.) He might sup-
pose cases in which attempts had been made on the life
of the Woman, and other cases equally strong. The
bill, as be had said, would place the woman in
a worse
situation than she was in at present, for at present she
might apjoettl to-that house and state all the circum-
stances of her .case—the infamous conduct of her bus-
band, and their lordships-had-the diecretion to decide in

CELESTINA SONIERS.
Mr. WARREN asked the Secretary for the Home
Department whether the adviser:► of the Crown, in re-
commending a, commutation of the sentence of death
lately pAised o, Celeitina Sooiers at the C-_,ntral Crimi-
nal Court for the murder of her child, had ootained the
report and taken the opinion of the judge by whom she
had been tried ; and, if so, whetner there was any
objection to laying them before the house r
Sir G. GREY said the Secretary of State was exclu-
sively aoswerahle for recommending a commutation of
the sentence in this instance, fie did not feel himself
justified'in laying the opinion of the learned judge who
tried the case on the table of the boo :e. It was a con-
fidential communication to the Home Secretary, and he
alone was responsible for the commutation of the sen-
tence.

THE LATE FA. PA L ACCIDENT AT

THE BALLOT.
Mr. H id. BERKELEY sa that, pursuant to the no-
tice he had given, he rose to renew Ina
entreaties to the
house to penal him to pass such a measure as might
extr.cf,te the elector., of Great Britain and Ireland from
the sad state of humiliation and degradation into) which,
ali he thought, they were at present plunged t',rough 'he
instrumentality of ~pen voting. It was, indeed, an un-
pleasant task to undertake, becan,e while acknowledging
the indolence he ead ever receive.' fr en the house, and
especially from h in. gectlemen opposed to him in
polities, he at the same tune knew the questi.m was so
abliorraot to many members that he should not be sur-
prised if, applying to him the words of the poet, they
should may that he was about—
" To cleave
The general ear
W 'h
Sysiphian as was theith tas orrentk
he hadpeec uudertaken, if he could
only roll the stone to the summit of the hill, or even only
halt way, he felt a conviction that it would be sustained
by the labours of those who succeeded him, and that the
people weuld, through the spread of education, the more
general diffusion of knowledge, and a proper apprecia-
tion of the value of the franchise, be enabled to claim
that as a right which lie was nom humbly craving for
them as a boon. Before he proceeded to grapple more
closely with the question he might, perhaps, be permitted
to point out to the house the precise position iii which it
stood. When last be had the honour of addressing them
on this subject he instanced a vast number of members
in that house, and ofdi.thigai-bed persons out of it, who
at one period or other had advocated this question. The
great inajerity of these might still retain their convictions.
Some, it was true, had changed their opinions ; but it was
remarkable that many of those who had changed their
opinions had likewise changed their politica ; and the few
who had not changed their politics bad changed their con-
stituencies, and instead of representing large free bo-
roughs, in which something like public opinion existed,
they now represented counties, where the ballot was
deemed a litresy against the landlords, or those rotten
boroughs, which were allowed to blur the fair face of the
Reform ll to please a Whig nobility, ;:n i from a partici
pation in which they were unable to exclude the Tories,
such b9rouvhs being, therefore, as much their own as
,their houses in Belgravia or Grosvenor-park, Ile confessed
that he could not view this as a party question, and
1`,f39 unable so to argue it. It had, however, been made
a party question by the Tory gentlemen in tbis country.
Me had nothing to do with that ; he should treat it as an
o Den question above board. Tree, it had been made an
o,Oen question by Whig Ministers. Was he grateful fir
ti tat ? He confessed that he was not, because he knew
that a Whig Ministry dare not make it a close question. 1
If they did, the majority of their supporters being in its
favour, they would lose their places. This was a very un-
Plea sant question for a Whig Ministry to cope with, for
many reasons. In the first place, when they attempted
to reply to the arguments in favour of the ballot they
li,okad to the opposite benchesior cheers, and when they
went into the lobby they went in a 8 elept body opposed
to the: h. friends, and joined themselves on to the tail of
the Tories, thereby securing a victory over their own

I THE FERMOT PEERAGH.-Eight of the learned judges
pronounced an opinion on Monday in the House of Lords,
1 that the Act of Union with Ireland did not warrant the
Government on the extinction of three neerares in the
creation of a barony of F,romy in favour of Mr. David
Roche ; and several of the judges, including the Chief
Baron, intimated that it was an attempted innovation orr
the recognised practice of half a century. The accusa-
tion against Lord Palmerston of having advi-ed her
Majesty to make an unauthorised exercise of ber pre
r,•gative may now he taken as suffi_iiently established ;
and it may also be taken as established that M. Roche is
not a peer, for, although there has been a'i extinction of
an Irish peerage since the issue i.f the patent, that will
not make a creation good which it appears was bad at
iti iaception. If Mr. Riche's political serviee.s are to
be rewarded with a peerage there must be a new
creation.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The ( nfo lot" itio '_gold at Paris is
about 5 per iniile premium (a' cording to the last tariff),
which, at the English Mint 'price off :1. 17s. 101 d. per
oz. for standard gold, gives an exchang eof 25.29{ ; a-d,
the exchange at Paris on London at F port being 25.40,
it follows that gold is about 0.41 per cent dearer in 1.4. n•
don than in Paris. By advices from I fambnrg the price
of gold is 426 k per mark, which, at the English Mint
price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per oz. for star), lard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.5 i ; and, the exchang eat Hamburg on
London at short being 13.6 i, it folio vs that gold is 047
per cent. dearer in London than i ft Hamburg. The
course of exchange at New Ycrk on London fir bills at
00 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par_ of exchange
between England and America beii,g. - 109 03-40 per cent.,
it follows that the exchange is none
'kin 0 42 per cent.
in favour of England ; and, after tr king allowance for
charges of transport and difference
cent rate leaves, a small profit c :of interest, the pre-
a the importation ot
gold from the United States.
