ber into error upon the subject.
SABBATH OBSERVANCE BILL.
On the motion of Sir ANDREW AGNEW, that the Sab-
bath Observance Bill be taken into further consideration in
Committee,
Mr. WARD said that if this Bill were persevered in, he
would move that the further consideration be deferred to that
day six months. The Bill was already pronounced to be so
objectionable in its principle and provisions, that he would
resist its further progress. Why, if it interfered in one case,
not interfere in all? Why not prevent travelling on the old
railroads as well as on the new ? Wh) not close all shops in-
discriminately ? Why not punish the rich as well as the poor ?
The Hon. Member, after dwelling on the unchristian and im-
politic character of the Bill, restricting the enjoyments of the
poor, and tolerating those of the rich, put his motion.
Mr. C URTE IS seconded the motion. Bills of this kind
were calculated to bring religion into disrepute, and were even
scoffed at all over the country. It was as absurd and unfit for
a Presbyterian to dictate to the Protestants, respecting the ob-
servance of the Sabbath, as it would be for Mr. O'Connell to
attempt to introduce'here the Catholic ceremonies of the Con-
tinent.
Mr. POULTER said his object was to make the Bill as
unobjectionable as possible.
Sir S. WHALLEY opposed the Bill.
Sir R. BATE SON supported it, and said it had the con-
currence of a great portion of his constituents.
Colonel SIBTHORP was strongly opposed to the Bill,
as being a great hardship on the poor.
Mr. GOULB LT RN was of opinion that the Bill should be
suffered to go into Committee, to be there amended if pos-,
sible. That was the understanding when the Bill was last
under discussion.
Mr. TREVOR thought the Bill should be further con-
sidered in Committee, as in its present form it was highly ob-
jectionable.
Mr. Bulwer, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Warburton, and some
other Members whose names we could not learn, recapitu-
lated the objections so often urged against the Bill.
Lord Morpeth and Mr. Baines wished the Bill to be recon-
sidered in Committee, with a view to make several improve-
ments in it.
Sir A. AGNEW replied, amid loud cries of " Question."
Mr. WAK LE Y opposed the Bill, contending that, instead
of protecting the poor, it was calculated further to oppress
them.
The House then divided, when there appeared—.

ROMAN CATHOLICS MARRIAGE BILL.
\ Mr. LYNCH moved the second reading of the Roman
Catholics Marriage Bill.
Colonel PERCE VAL thought himself bound to oppose
the second reading of this Bill to the utmost of his power,
considering that the law is Ireland should continue as it now
exists. He maintained that repealing the Act in question,
the purport of the Bill before the House, would give the Ca-
tholic clergymen an undue advantage over the Protestant,
and would have the effect of encouraging abduction and fa-
cilitating improper marriages. He concluded by moving as
an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day

MR. GOULD'S DICTIONARY OF PAINTERS.--
This work has long been a desideratum. The various gal-
leries and auctions of paintings continually brought under the
public eye, the increasing numbers of collectors of paintings,
Ind the spread of a more pure taste in all that concerns the
appreciation of the higher departments of art, renders it a
very advantageous addition to our modern list of publications.
Any person visiting galleries for the purpose of purchasing, or
of criticism, will find, by taking this work in his pocket, an
easy means of reference to the distinctive merits of the various
artists, as well as to the nicer shades of distinction which cha-
racterise the various schools, either in colouring, design, or
execution. The biographies of the various artists appear to
be very carefully and skilfully digested. Many of them are.
interesting in point of mere amusement. They are preceded
by a clever introductory treatise on the founders and charac-
teristics of the various schools of painting, with a condensed
disquisition on the progress of engraving, sculpture, and archi-
tecture.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE TRAM-ROAD.---
On Tuesday evening last the Dowlais locomotive steam tranA
going down to the Basin, met the Penydarran trams near
Pont-pwll-yspig, by the Quaker's-yard. The driver of the
locomotive slackened his steam ; and the driver of the Pell2-
darran trams drew back to a parting and unhitched his I°ll,—.
One of these horses got his shaft entangled in his 010 t,r,a-illg;
and dragged it over the plate. Two women riding, and

six months.
Mr. O'CONNELL supported the second reading of the
Bill on the ground that the Act relating to Roman Catholic
marriages in Ireland, as it at present stood, gave no protection
to any party, while it did a positive injury to the innocent
issue of a marriage celebrated by a Roman Catholic clergy-
man between two persons, one or both of whom were not of
his own creed, by rendering them illegitimate.
Mr. SHAW supported the amendment, on the ground
that the Act now in existence, which the Bill of the Hon.
and Learned Member for Galway went to abolish, was the
only protection against improper marriages in Ireland.
Dr. LUSHINGTON expatiated on the evils arising out
of the present state of the law, and supported the Bill,
maintaining that it did not go far enough, but that as far as
it did go, it would produce very beneficial effects.
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON opposed the Bill.
Lord MO RPETH assented to the Bill. The present state
of the marriage law in Ireland required alteration.
Col. SIBTHORP complained that Ministers were ab-
sent from the House when such a subject was under discussion.

After a few words from Mr. A. Chapman, Mr. A. Johnson,
and Mr. Plumptre,
Sir A. AGNEW withdrew his amendment, and the Bill
was read a second time.
