IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.)
The SPEAREn took the chair at twelve o'clock.
PRIVATE IIiUSINESS.
TheLords' amendinenta to tbeLandon, Brighton, and
South Coast Railway (Shoreham to Norfolk) Bill and
the Birkenhead Comtni,doners (Bondholders Arrange-
mert) Bill were considered and agreed to..
Tae following bills were farther considered and
ordered to be read a third time :—Manobester, South
Junction, and Altrincham Railway (No. 2) Bill, Clyde
Navigation Bil., and the Tees Conservancy Bill.
A long discussion totek place on the Clyde Navigation
Bi;t, involving points conneered with the standing
orders cf the house that had not been technically
complied with, and also affecting the merit■ of the
bill, which was characterised by Colonel Wilson
Patten, Mr. Hanley, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr. Bouverie, the
Lord Advocate, and others, as a valuable and useful
measure.

tnii with tbe.epprohatiop of a large majority of his con-
stauf tits, (Hear, bear) He was not so sanguine as
to believe that the bill could be passed this session, but
Le thought some progress might be made towards
settling the question if they want into committee on the

Mr. BYNG, as representing the second largest con-
stittiency, gave hie support to the bill.
Mr. B. HOPE referred to the manner in which peti-
tions were got tip 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.
Milnee, Mr. Pease, Sir C. Jervis, Mr. Browne, Mr.
Dunlop, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. F. Crossley took part.
The house divided, when the numbers were—
For going into committee
Against it 5B
Majority
The home then went into committee on the bill.
On clau.e 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
wool I be to still continue the invalidity of these mar-
ria7es before the pasting of the act.
Mr. SCHNEIDER considered the omission of the
words would be to brand about 40,000 children as illegi-
timate. It the law was to be good fur the future it
ought to be made applicable to the past, especially in
reference to marriage. A proviso could be afterwards in-
setted 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 ulifiiily on ihoze who had contracted these marriages
abroad and under legal sanction.
Mr. B. HOPE said that the parties had entered into
these mat riagee with their eyes open to the consequences,
and he thought the ourumittee ought not to pass a clause
which won d give them emunity for the offence.
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said it was important the
claim:, 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 person 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 ae the second un,e, and the party
would be liable for bigamy. Another objection to
retrospective legislation was, that it'" would invalidate
all those merriages that had taken place since 1835,
which would materially interfere with the dieposition of
property relative to the children. The third obj:etion
to the (lure in its present form was that of a man
married to his deceased wife's sister, and they afterwards
generated from conecicntious scruples, this bill would
validate the marriage against the will, and the lady
wosid be able to maintain a suit against the man for a
restitution of conjugal rights. He obj,euei tai the legis-
lature being retro:Tee:Ave. It should be ot.iy prospec-
e:--

Viscount GODERICII hoped the noble lord (Bury)
would not accede to the amendment.
Tho SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was necessary
to alter the clause to meet the obj,.ciions raised by the
right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for the
Hoine Department, especially with regard to the cause
of the double marriages referred to, Double marriages
existed, and it was not de,irahle they should recklts,ly
legislate on them. The diffic❑lty raised ought to be
met on tiie clause before the bill was further proceeded
in cornmieee.
Mr. AYRTON said it was not intended by the bil
to establish c.oopulsory bigamy. Tee 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 cases. It was the duty of the committee to legalise
marriages that had been celebrated under legal sanction
in other countries.
Mr. fIENLEY o! jetted 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 he knew the nature of the provi-
sions by which it was to be guarded, to prevent iej is-
tice being inflicted on certain partite.
Mr. M. T. BAINES said if prospective legiplation
only was to be permitted, it would be inconsistent in
them to stigmatise those marriages that had taken place
as bad, whilst all such feture marriages were to bacon.
sidered goad and valid. He thought it woul I be better
to have no hell than a bill that would not affect past
marriages. _ _

General THOMPSON supported the clause. It was
their duty tl legalise marriages honestly contracted by
persun4 of safe consciences in times of persecution.
(Hear, heir.)
Lord BURY proposed to a'ter the clause in reference
to marrying atitteeased wife's sistt r, "save as in hcre-
_

after provided," and on bringing up the report he
would be prepared with a clause that would meet the
exigencies of the taco refcrrod to by hon. members in the
course of the deha,e on the bill.
After some remarks from Mr. LTGON in reply,
The committee divided. The numbers were—
For the atm.ndment

Mr. STEUART proposed an amendment in the
vhu,e, that a man might marry his deceased
niece.

L rd BURY sa;tl he could nc.,...:accede to the amend-
tutlat.

riage with a decea-le,i tsisttr.

Gen. TITO NIPSON ttt j fet,el t the amend:writ.
Mr. A rtroN ttieught the amendment n•ruld not be
entertained i.y the committee.

The eilAiitMANeaid Lbs, title of the Lill wai " Mar-
riage•l3w Amendment Bill," and the mooed/neat now
pr ,poicd could be ente,taked by the cAcricni:tee, and
the words, if they thought prop r, intradu-.:•d into it.
After some remarks from Mr. Bereelord Hope and
Mr. Mdnee,

LYGON hoped the ameadnient w,:uld ba with-
drawn.

Mr. STEUART eonsertt?.(l to the withdrawal of the
amendment.

On the motion tbat Cie clause stand part of the i.ill,
Mr. LYGON asked the mole lord if it was his intention
to bring up a c'auie re.,,lieviog the persons who con-
tracted these rnairiAges limn the pains and penalties of
ecclesiastical proceedings ? If the qussti 'n was nut sats-
fact.rily answered he should :nova t C.:airman do re-
port progresi.

Mr. STEUA.III' said that as the mobil lord declined
to answer the queetion, he must not be surprised if bon.
members availed tbornselv:ts of the furies of the
house in order to obtain the necessary que,tion. There
appeared to he a desire to press on leg,itlxion
with u'idue haste, and he therehre moved tam: the
Chairman do report progreie, and ask leave to sit again.

The committee divided. The numbers wer.:—

The motioo was negatived.
Mr. S. WARREN :aid the essence of the bill was
contained in the clause no.v hebri the committee, and
ho believed a greater blow to the sanctity of family
peace, social order, and morality had nev.:r been aimed
towards its destruction.

Tho LORD ADVOCATE urged on the committee
the great and palpable dt-fecits in the measure as
the clause now stands. Tue bill prop )sed to
these marriages in Scotland, but it did not
propose to relieve the c intractors from the penalties for
incebtuous connectlon they were liable to under the
laws of that country.
Lord BUI Y was ready to answer ali questions put to
h:m, but it was unueual for them to be 011,wed up by
threats. In answer t.) the question of the hon. member
for Tewkesbury (Mr, Lygor,), he saw no necess;ty for
introducing such a clause. flu proposed to move an
amendtui•ut to remedy the defect referred to by the Lord
Advocate.

After some discussion relative to the ltw of marriage
in Sao:,land, the clnum as amended wam agreed to.

Mr. LYGOk called attention to the legal difficulties
in the clause, and, in the abienca of the Attornes-Gene-
rib! and SAiottor.Ge.ieral, he aikiid 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 wilioti 4r. S. Warren, Mr.
Hope, Mr. Henley, Mr. ifeallarn, 14`)rd B pry, Viscount
Godench, Mr. Ellice, jun., Mr. Byog, Mr. Steuart,

married his deceased wife's Kist, r, which was at present
illegal, and after waris married another persoo, the last
