IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
Lord SONDES presented a petit7on from a place in
Norfolk, praying for a r, peal of the war tax.
LAW OF DIVORCE.

Lord CAMPBELL moved for a return in
connection with the law of divorce. A very
valual le paper had been prepared by Mr. Mac-
queen, the secretary of the Divorce Commission,
which contained •information of a very important nature
respecting women separated from their husbands as re-
cognised by the law of France, Prussia, and other coun-
tries. It had been thought proper to extend the mea-
sures the Commission had recommended; and he believed
that his noble and learned friend (the Lord Cbanct llor)
proposed to introduce a bill with the object of alter-
ing the law as regarded the separation of husband
and wife. Mr. Macqueen had taken a great deal of
trouble to ascertain the state of the law of other
countries with respect to the law of divorce, and
bad made a very valuable report founded upon the
informa'ion so obtained. In the report he had
quoted the law of France under the ell regime,
those under Louis Philippe, and al,o those of the pre-
sent Sovereign. It also noticed the codes of Austria,
and particula►ly Prussia, which was most interesting to
them as Protestants, who did not boll the same doe
trines as to the indissclubility of marriage as were held
by Catholics. He therefore moved that an humble
address be presented to her Majesty, praying
that she will be pleased to direct that a copy
of the report of the Divorce Commission, as
prepared by Mr. Macqueen, be laid upon the table,
and that it be printed for their lordships' use.
Lord BROUGHAM entirely concurred with his
noble friend as to the expediency of having so valuable
a document as the one in question placed upon the table
of the house before they proceeded to the discussion of
the measure to which his noble and learned friend had
alluded. He must say that his opinions remained un-
changed upon the subject.
The motion was agreed to.
HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

Lord RAVENS WORTH gave notice of his intention
to move for a select committee to consider the propriety
of establishing harbours of refuge on the north-east coast.
The Earl of CLANCARTY said that on Monday he
ehould put a question to her Majesty's Government whe-
ther it was their intention to introduce a bill to regulate
fairs and markets in Ireland.

Lord MONTEAGLE was understood to give notice
that on Monday he intended to move for the production
of the correspondence which had taken place relative to
the valuable collection of books that had been presented
by Lord Truro to the house.
