MAR RISGE LAW AMEN IMENT BILL.
Lord BURY moved the going int o committee on this
bill.
Mr. LYGOrtI objected to the motion; The bill was
not likely to s into a.law this session, aced he thought
_
it was better abandon further •legislation on the sub-
ject for the esent. Although the bill bad teen
1t he
a
long time are the 'house it had received b,
litt
consideration and discussion, and he, therefore, aske'l the
noble lord to irostpone its further consideration that i:.4e
house might devote in a more useful manner the time
that would otherwise be unnecessarily consumed in the
discussion. The bill before the house materially differed
from the bills of 1849 and 1855. The three classes of
exceptions of a valuable character provided for in the
former bills were not contemplated in this bill. The bill
only dealt in one out of the 14 prohibitions mentioned in
Scripture, and he wanted to know how the proposer of
the bill reconciled his allowing so glaring an anomaly to
exist as that of 13 prohibitions without the
bill, • especially as one of the if prohibitions
had been discussed in thet house. He moved
their going into committee this day three months.
Lord BURY hoped his hon. friend would not persist
in his motion. It was an important bill, and required
their serious consideration ; and if any delay had oc-
curred in its progress, it was owing to the continual
motions for adjournment and delay made by,the hon.
member. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DE VERE hoped the house would not proceed
further with the bill.
Mr. E. DENISON, as the representative of the
largest constituency in the kingdom, said the bill had
met with the approbation of a large majority of his con-
stituents. (Hear, hear) He was not so sanguine as
ti believe that the bill could be passed this session, but
he thought some progress might be made towards
settling the question if they went into committee on the
bill.
Mr. BYNG, as representing the second largest con•
stituency, gave his support to the bill.
Mr. B. HOPE referred to the manner in which peti-
tions were got up in Lancashire in favour of the bill.
Touters were employed to get signatures, and young
children were allowed to sign them.
Lord GODERICH supported the bill.
After some further discussion, in which Mr. M.
Milner, Mr. Pease, Sir C. Jervis, Mr. Browne, Mr.
Dunlop, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. F. Crosaley took part.
The house divided, when the numbers were—
For going into committee
Against it
Majority
The house then went into committee on the bill.
On clause 1.
Mr. LYGON moved the omission of the words
" which has been celebrated at any time or place what-
ever within the realm or without.' The effect of which
would be to still continue the invalidity of these mar-
riages before the passing of the act.
Mr. SCHNEIDER considered the omission of the
wows w.-„'.i lie t, ereee ahoirt 40.000 children as illegi-
timate. If the law was to lAI guk.4l fer tLe feteee it
ought to be made applicable to the past, especially in
reference to marriage. A proviso could be afterwards in-
serted to meet the objection of the clause.
Mr, BRISCOE hoped the committee would not enter-
tain the amendment. If adopted it would press heavily
and unfairly on those who bad contracted these marriages
abroad and under legal sanction.
Mr. B. HOPE said that the parties had entered into
these marriages with their eyes open to the consequences,
and he thought the committee ought not to pass a clause
which would give them emunity for the offence.
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said it was important the
claims should be just and equituble to all the parties
concerned, whatever might be the result of the bill
hereafter. If any person married his deceased wife's
sister, and subsequently separated, and if the gentleman
married Another perscn subsequently, as the law now
stood, the second marriage was valid, but if the
bill passed in its present form, the former would
be valid as well as the second one, and the party
would be liable for bigamy. Another objection to
retrospective legislation was, that it would invalidate
all those marriages that had taken place since 1835,
which would materially interfere with the disposition of
property relative to the children. The third objection
to the clause in its present form was that of a man
married to his deceased wife's sister, and they afterwards
separated from conscientious scruples, this bill would
validate the marriage against the will, and the lady
would be able to maintain a suit against the man for a
restitution of conjugal rights. He objected to the legis-
lature being retrospective. It should be only prospec-
tive.
Viscount GODERICH hoped the noble lord (Bury)
would not accede to the amendment.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was necessary
to alter the clause to meet the objections raised by the
right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for the
Rome Department, especially with regard to the cause
of the double marriages referred to. Double marriages
existed, and it was not desirable they should recklessly
legislate on them. The difflaulty raised ought to be
met on this clause before the bill was further proceeded
in commiteee.
Mr. AYRTON said it was not intended by the bill
to establish compulsory bigamy. The Act would not
take effect where the parties had treated the marriage as
invalid, or one or the other of the parties had married
again. The bill was never intended to be extended to
such caries. It was the duty of the committee to legalise
marriages that had been celebrated under legal sanction
in other countries.
Mr. HENLEY objected to the sweeping nature of
the words in the clause. It proposed to make every
thing bad good, and he could not consent to so sweep-
ing a provision, until be knew the nature of the provi-
sions by which it was to be guarded, to prevent injus-
tice being inflicted on certain parties.
Mr. M. T. BAINES said if prospective legislation
only was to be permitted, it would be inconsistent in
them to stigmatise those marriages that had taken place
as bad, whilst all such future marriages were to be con-
sidered good and valid. He thought it would be better
to have no bill than a bill that would not affect past
marriages.
General THOMPSON supported the clause. It was
their duty to legalise inarriagoti honestly contracted by
persons of safe consciences in times of persecution.
(Hear, hear.)
Lord BURY proposed to alter the clause in reference
to marrying a deceased wife's sister, " save as in here-
after provided," and on bringing up the report he
would be prepared with a clause that would meet the
exigencies of the case referred to by hon. members in the
course of the debate on the bill.
After some remarks from Mr. LYGON in reply,
The committee divided. The numbers were—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority --51
Mr. STEUART proposed an amendment in the
'lane, that a man might marry his deceased wife's

niece.
Lord BURY said he could not accede to the amend-
ment. The only object of the bill was to legalise mar-
riage with a deceased wife's sister.
Geo. THOMPSON objected to the amendment.
Mr. AYRTON thought the amendment could not be
entertained by the committee.
The CHAIRMAN said the title of the bill was "Mar-
riage-law Amendment Bill," and the amendment now
proposed could be entertained by the committee, and
the words, if they thought proper, introdnc?d into it.
After some remarks from Mr. Beresford Hope and
Mr. Milnes,
Mr. LYGON hoped the amendment would be with-
drawn.
Mr. STEUART consented to the withdrawal of the
amendment.
On the motion that the clause stand part of the bill,
Mr. LYG ON asked the noble lord if it was his intention
to bring up a clause relieving, the persons who con-
tracted these marriages from the pains and penalties of
ecclesiastical proceedings ? If the question was not Eustis-
factorily answered he should move the Chairman do rt-
port proves'.
Mr. STEUART said that as the noble lord declined
to answer the question, he must not be surprised if bon.
members availed themselves of the forms of the
house in order to obtain the necessary question. There
appeared to be a desire to press on legislation
with undue haste, and he therefore moved that the
Chairman do report prosrese, and ask leave to sit again.
(Cries of " Oh, ob.')
The committee divided. The embers were—
For the motion
Against it
Maj0rity...........
The motion was negatived.
Mr. S. WARREN said the essence of the bill was
contained in the clause now btivr4 the committee, and

•••••••I.
he U eliesosd a greater blow to the sanctity of family
peace, eoiiial order, and morality had never been aimed
tow: girds its destruction.
The LO RD ADVOCATE urged on the committee
the great and palpable defects' in the measure as
the clause _now stands. The bill proposed to lega-
lise these marriages in Scotland, but it did not
propose to ce.kleve the contractors from the penalties for
inceztuous connection they were liable to under the
laws of thaA '.-, country.
Lord BErRY was ready to answer all questions put to
him, but it was unusual for them to be followed up by
threats. En answer to the question of the boo. member
for Tewkes bury (Mr. Lygon), he saw no necessity for
introducing; such a clause. Ho proposed to move an
amendment to remedy the defect referred to by the Lord
Advocate.
After some discussion relative to the law of marriage
in Scotland, the clause as amended was agreed to.
On clause 2,
Mr. LYGON called attention to the legal difficulties
in the clause, and, in the absence of the Attorney-Gene-
ral and Solicitor-General, he asked for an explanation in
reference to its application. He urged the necessity of
time being given to the committee to fully consider the
effect of the clause, and he moved the Chairman report
progress.
After some discussion, in which Mr. S. Warren, Mr.
Hope, Mr. Henley, Mr. Headlam, Lord Bury, Viscount
Goderich, Mr. Ellice, jun., Mr. Byng, Mr. Stewart,
and other hon. membera took part.
The amendment for reporting progress was withdrawn,
and the clause, after amendments, was agreed to.
Clause 3 was agreed to.
Oa clause 4,
Mr. MONSELL moved an amendment excluding
Ireland from the operation of the bill.
After some discussion the committee divided. The
numbers were
For the amendment
Against it 9B
Majority —42
The amendment was agreed to, and the clause as
amended was also agreed to.
Lcrd BURY moved an additional proviso to clause
1, the effect of which was that in cases where a man had
married his deceased wife's sister, which was at present
illegal, and afterwards married another person, the last
should be the valid marriage.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected to the proviso
being then considered or on the bringing up of the re-
port. It should be printed and considered in committee.
He therefor© moved that the chairman report progress.
A discussion ensued on the amendment, in the course
of which,
Lord BURY said he would consent to the proviso
being printed and brought up with the report, but he
:villa not consent to the chairman's reporting progress.
The committee then divided. The numbers were—
For reporting progress
Ageinst it
Majority
---51
The amendment for reporting progress was negatived.
After some remarks from Mr. C. BIM;
Lord BURY said he would withdraw the proviso
and bring it up on the report.
The bill then passed through committee amid loud
cheers, and was ordered to be reported on Friday.
PROTECTION OF "FEMALE CHILDREN BILL.
This bill was read a second time.
MEMBERS' FREEDOM FROM ARREST BILL.
Mr. G. W. HUNT moved the second reading of this
bill, the effect of which was to take away from the mem-
bers of Parliament the privilege of freedom from arrest,
with a view to perional restraint. He intended to have
moved a clause to this effect in the Property Qualifica-
tion Bill, but the forms of the house not permitting it he
had introduced a separate measure. He considered it
was desirable that the creditors of hon. members should
be placed in the same position as the creditors of other
debtors. (Hear.) Now that they had abolished the
safeguard of property qualification it was necessary to
abolish this privilege. (Divide.)
Mr. E. P. BOUTERIE moved as an amendment
that the bill be read a second time this day six months.
Mr. CRAUFORD seconded the amendment. The
privilege from arrest was cf importance in connection
with a call of the house.
Mr. H. BERKELEY said that so long as the Lords
were to be protected, and the members of that house
unprotected, he should oppose any change in reference
to the latter.
After some remarks from Mr. HUNT in reply,
The house divided. The numbers were—
For the second reading 129
Against it 75
Majority —s4
The bill was then read a second time.
NEW GENERAL POST-OFFICE (EDINBURGH)
BILL.

This bill passed through committee.
The other orders were disposed of. and the house ad-
journed at five minutes to six o'clock.

CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.

[The followirg appeare part of our impression o
terday :]—
The sixth milinAry general meeting of the shareholders
of this company was held this day, at tile BriiTl House
Hotel, Southwark. T. N. Farquhar, Esq., occupied the

yes-

chair.
The usual routine business having been transacted,
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which
stated that the revenue account for the year ending 30th
of April last showed a gross balance to its credit of 35,075/.
After deducting all preference charges for dividend and
interest, the general revenue account showed an available
balance of 13,7991. The directors recommended that this
balance should be carried over to tho next half-year, and
if this could be done they hoped, with the prospects
of the present season, to be able at the meeting in Decem-
ber next to submit a proposal for payment of such a
dividend on the ordinary shares as would be satisfactory
to the general body of proprietors. A considerable reduc-
tion had been effected in the past year under all the ordi-
nary heads of expenditure, and the directors trust that a
still further reduction may be attained by a strict and
vigilent superintendence over all the departments, without
in any way impairing the efficiency or high character of
the undertaking. In regard to the receipts for the past
year it is satisfactory to observe that the gross amount ex-
ceeds that of the previous year. But this is in a measure
to be attributed to the Handel Festival, which can only be
regarded as an exceptional occasion. On the other hand,
the expenses of the festival were very large, but still
leaving a satisfactory balance in favour of the company.
In reference to the 6 per cent. debenture stock there has
been appropriated to this date about 140,0001., and the
accounts show that 84,2511. was received in cash to the
30th of April last on account of this stock, and which has
been applied in paying off temporary loans and debentures
falling due. The directors were open to receive applica-
tions for the balance of the 250,0001. of this stock autho-
rised to be raised by the resolution of the general meeting
of July 30, 1857, and they confidently recommended the
shareholders by themselves and their friends to take up
this stock, the security for which was considered by the
Board to be undoubted. The directors regretted to state
that their efforts to procure a reduction of the capital of
the company and to effect an arrangement for the Sun-
day opening, in terms of the proposal submitted to the
last meeting, and so generally approved by the share-
holders, have been frustrated through the intervention
of the Court of Chancery, an injimetion•having been
obtained at the instance of a shareholder in the company to
restrain thedirectors from carrying out the proposed measure.
The contract for the supply of refreshments having expired
at the beginning of this year, the directors advertised for
public tenders, which resulted in their concluding a con-
tract with Messrs. Sawyer and Strange on much more
favourable terms to the company than the previous one.
The directors had every confidence that this arrange-
ment would be found to work beneficially for the company
and the public, while the energy displayed by the con-
tractors leads to the expectation that the result will prove
satisfactory to them. The revenue account for the year end-
ing the 30th of April last showed that 122,662/. had been
received, including 12,417/. for season tickets, 92,625/. for
admissions, 8,964/. for rentals, 7,5251. refreshment con-
tract, waiting and cloak rooms ; and the expenditure
amounted to 87.F,88/., including 8,5051. for general man-
agement ; 10,7151. for maintenance and repairs of build-
ing • 8,5331. for gardens and grounds; 2,769/., waterworks ;
8,814/., alterations RDfi additions to various departments ,•
7,6221., music ; 9,191/., opera concerts ; 14,698/., Handel
Festival ; 2,454/., special concerts, fetes, &c.; 2,8001.,
flower shows ; and 1,468/. poultry shows ; leaving a bal-
ance as above of 35,073/. The capital account shows that
1,339,3621. had been received, including shares issued by
Robson, and 1,347,830/. expended, including 28,023 shares
fraudulently issued by Robson, leaving a balance against
the company of 8,468/.
Mr. OGILVY seconded the adoption of the report, which,
after some discussion, was adopted amidst loud cheers.
Mr. ADDESCOTT moved a resolution to the effect that
all shareholders and their friends be entitled to admission
to the gardens of the Palace on Sunday. If they could
only open the Crystal Palace on that day, ho knew there
were 20,000 people in London who would instantly join
the company.
Mr. YOUNG, amid great interruption, opposed the reso-
lution.
Mr. CARDEN said it had been settled that shareholders
could go into the Palace on Sunday, and, having that
:—"
right, he should like to know who was to oppose them ?
The CIIAIRMAN thought the wisest course to adopt was
to agree to a resolution in the following form That
the opening of the grounds of the Crystal Palace on Sun-
day to the shareholders is desirable, and that it be left to
the directors to make such arrangements as they may think
fit to carry out the wishes of the proprietors."
Mr. ANDERSON moved an amendment to the effect that
the directors he empowered to carry into immediate effect
a resolution, agreed to at the last meeting, for the imme-
diate opening of the grounds on Sunday to shareholders.
The resolution as suggested by the chairman was put
and carried.
A ballot was then demanded.
Mr. SNOW said a certain arrangement with respect to
cancelling shares having been abandoned in consequence of
the Vice-Gbaucellot's decision, he begged to move that the
directors be now empowered to give a number of shilling
adrnis-ion tickets for each share sent in to be cancelled. The
number and time (luring which the said tickets may be
available to be decided from time to time by the directors.
The resolution was carried, and a long and angry dis-
cussion then took place with respect to the ballot de-
manded on the previous resolution; after which it was
ultimately decided that a ballot should take place at the
Bridge-house Hotel, this ceening, till six o'clock, and that
it be continued, by adjournment, at the Crystal Palace,
on the 14th, 15th, and 16th July, and the meeting to be
adjourned till the 21st.
Some other routine business having been transacted,
the meeting separated.

The Journal of the Two Sir'lica of the 16th announces
that the number of persons that lost their lives by the
hurricane of Sala is 22, of whom only 17 have been
found ; the remaining five were carried away by the
wat:r3.

.EAST INDIA COMPANE-ADJOUBNED

MEETING!.

The adjourned General Quarterly Court of Pro-
prietors was held yesterday, at the India House,
Leadenhall-street, for the purpose of confirming,
by a special cone, after the disposal of general busi-
ness, the annuities of 2,0001. to General Sir Colin
Campbell, and 10001. to Sir James Outram,
as approved of by the last special court.
Captain East wick, the deputy chairman presided,
and the minutes having been read,
Mr. JONES rose to call the attention of the Court
to the annexation of Oude, which he described as
an act that would cast such a stain on the reign of
Victoria as could never be wiped out. In support
of his view he read a petition from a body in the
country known as the Sheffield " Foreign Affairs
Committee." Mr. Jones called upon the company
and the Government to abrogate the powers of an-
nexation, and give back again those provinces to
its natural ruler. Mr. Jones then proposed a mo-
tion to the effect that the kingdom of Oude be re-
stored forthwith to the. King and his successors.
Mr. MALcoLm LEWIN seconded the motion.
Mr. Cool( followed on the mine side ; and

Mr. CRAWSHAX supported the motion.
Mr. HELPS moved the previous question, which
was seconded upon the ground that, considering
the present state of Indian affairs, any further pro-
ceeding's on the question would be very unwise.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELLE said, that as the Court of
Directors made no sign, and he preferred dying by
his own hands instead of theirs, he should move
that the house be counted. (Laughter.)
This was done, and there not being twenty mem-
bers present, the proceedings were adjourned.

The 2d Regt. of Life Guards, under the command
of Col. Marty n, has received orders to leave Wind-
sor for Aldershot Camp this day (Thursday). A
few recruits and non-effectives will remain in

charge of the barracks at Windsor.
Yesterday morning Major-General S. R. Wesley,
the Deputy Adjutant• General, bad the whole bat-
talion of the Chatham division of Royal Marine

Light Infantry marched to the lines, for the pur-
pose of seeing the officers of the division now at
head-quarters manoeuvre the battalion. The troops
were put through a variety of evolutions, chiefly by
the junior officers, which were performed with re-
markable steadiness. The inspection of the division,
which has occmpied. Gen. Wesley three days, then
terminated, and Gem Wesley took the opportunity
of publicly stating to Col. W. H. Parke, the com-
mandant, the great satisfaction he experienced in
finding the Chatham division of Royal Marines iM
such a high state of discipline. Before concluding
his inspection Gee. Wesley asked the battalion if
any one had a complaint to make, but no one re-
sponded to the e ill.
Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C. 8.,
the Governor of Portsmouth, having been sent for
to the Horse Guards, there will be no field day on
Southsea-common to-day, but the spectacle will
take place at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
The authorities at the War Department having
decided on not sending out any additional rein-
forcements for the 32d Light Infantry, now serving
in India, in consequence of the service companies
of that corps being about to return to England, up-
wards of 100 men belonging to the depot at Chat-
have expressed their willingness to volunteer,
chiefly for the Military Train Corps and some other
regiments now in India. The 32d Light Infantry
has been absent from England since 184 G.
Col. Brown, commandant of the Woolwich Divi-
sion of Royal Marines, yesterday returned from
leave of absence, and will resume the duties of his
post to-day, temporarily superintended by Col. H.
Fleming.
Mr. Parkyn, the newly-appointed deputy mili-
tary storekeeper of Woolwich Arsenal, and the offi-
cers of that establishment, yesterday mustered the
entire regiment of Royal Artillery in front of their
divisional quarters at Woolwich, as well as the
Royal Engineers and the Military Train. The re-
maining regiments in garrison were mustered by
the paymasters of the respective corps.
In consequence of the East India Company's
troopship Eastern Monarch (which is under engage-
ment to convey upwards of GOO reinforcements to
India), having been detained in the East India
Docks through the recent accident, that vessel was
unable to embark her troops at Gravesend yester-
day, as previously ordered, and it is not likely that
the drafts for that vessel will leave Chatham Garri-
son for several days. The Earl Balcarras, 1,488 tons,
Commander T. Bremner, embarks the following
reinforcements at Cork, for Bombay—viz., 160 men
of the 33d (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, 107
men of the 89th Regiment, and 106 men of the 95th

Regiment, from the depot battalion at Fermoy ;
10 men of the 18th (Royal Irish), 25 men of the
67th, and 25 men of the 86th (Royal County Down)
Regiment—total, 433 men of all ranks. The
Clifton Belle, as soon as she has been inspected by
the military officers from Chatham, will embark
400 men at Gravesend, for Bombay.

full pay in her Majesty's fleet, and belonging to her
Majesty's ship Royal George, for the service of the
ordinary at Sheerness, was drunk on or about the
evening of the 28th day of March last, between the
hours of 9 and 11. 2. For that he did, on or about
the same date, between the hours of 10 and 11 p.m.,
make use of abusive language to Mr. W. Crowburst,
supernumerary carpenter of that ship, doing duty
on board her Majesty's ship Leonidas, and did be-
have in a manner unbecoming the character of an
officer. Captain Superintendent J. C. Fitzgerald
presided. After hearing the evidence, the Court
was of opinion that the first charge was not proved,
but that so much of the second charge, charging the
prisoner with behaving in a manner unbecoming
the character of an offiser was proved, and sentenced
Lieut. J. H. 111‘Ket,zie Robertson to be dismissed
from her Majesty's ship Royal George.

INVESTITURE OF LORD LYONS.—Admiral Lord
Lyons was on Wednesday, June 16, admitted a
Knight Grand Cross cf the most distinguished
Order of St. Michael and St. George. The affair
was a brilliant one. Tile hall appointed for the
• ceremony' was densely crowded by the elite of
Malta, the gentlemen appearing in full evening
dress—the ladies in morning costume. In the even-
ing the governor entertained at dinner, at the
palace, the newly-invested knight and other mem-
bers of the Order at present in the island, as well
as Lieut.-General Sir John Pennefather and a
number of other guests,.
DEPARTURE OF LORD LYONS.—At an early hour
on Thursday morning, June 17, her Majesty's ship
Roy alilbert, bearing the flag of Admiral Lord Lyons,
got up steam, and at about ten o'clock :lipped from
her moorings, and majestically glided out of har-
bour, under a salute from Fort St. Angelo and her
Majesty's steamer Hibernia, whilst the screw liners
Conqueror, Centurion, and Princess Royal, manned
rigging to the very trucks, in token of adieu, the
officers and men of all the ships loudly cheering
the gallant veteran. The flag ship fired rettun
salutes, and manned rigging in like manner, each
of the masthead trucks displaying a seaman waving
the banners of tne three chief orders of knighthood
with which the admiral stands invested. On the
clearing away of the smoke after these salutes, the
ships in port hoisted the signal, " Our good wishes
attend you," which was answered by the flag ship
with the significant word, "Farewell." The efliee: a
of the dock-yard awaited the flag ship at the ei •
trance of the harbour, to bid the adininil Wier*

which compliment was duly acknowledged ._by his
lordship. No less hearty cheers resounded from
the military, who, without any order to that effect,
spontaneously lined the fortifications on each side
I of Valletta Harbour.
Accounts from Rhodes mention several interest-
ing facts for science and archeology. Since the last
earthquake, some mouths back, the geological con-
stitution of the country has been so changed that
all the water springs have dried up. The Turkish
Government, in order to remedy the great drought,
some time ago ordered that works should be exe-
cuted, and the troops were employed on them.
Wells were dug near the former springs, and water
was found, but it soon after dried up again. One
spring alone, discovered near the palace of. the
governor, has continued flowing, but this sup Ply is
very inadequate to the wants of the population.
During the excavations made the remains of an old
aqueduct of tine construction were discovered, and
on one large stone was an inscription in Latin,
which said, " The Knights of Rhodes built this
aqueduct, which was solemnly blessed on the 7th
May, 1521, Philippe de Villiers, of the Isle Adam,
being Grand Master of the Order." This stone
has, by order of the Pacha, been deposited in the
Catholic church.
