ing.-
The Bill was then read a third time and amended accord-
ingly.
Mr. C. TENNYSON was anxious to introduce an amend-
meta. to prevent marriages between a minor and an adult,
front being annulled at the suit of the adult. It was a most
disgustiog fact that the proceedings were, in a great ma—
jority of cases, iiititnted by the husband, who at the
marriage had attained it, awl he would, under this Bill, still
have the power to do tiO until six months after his wife at-
laimied her majority. N•mthing could be more repugnant to,
reason amid justice than such a pr:Flice, except indeed it was
the permission and ?auction which time law liad.so long given
to it, thus furnishing
,the means of eff,ct ing the ruin of art
innocent and virtuous female, who, perna;ts, otter resisting
.the arts of seduction, relied on the vaiidity of a ri,irriage with
the unsuspicious ignorance of youth, while them li:!,•-
ing effected his ends, was enabled to take a double advantage
.of the perjury he committed to obtain the perfcrmance
of the col-et-tinny.
lir. PHILLIMORE. and Mr. D. GILBERT entirely con-
purred in the propriety of the Amendment, but as much was
already done by the Bill, and such an alteration would en-
crease the risk which might attend another place, they
hoped. the lion. Gentleman would not press it.
Mr. C. TENNYSON on this suggestions withdrew the
Aumendinrot..
Sir C. ROBINSON delivered his opinion, after which the
Bill was,passed.
A Message from the Lords intimated that their Lordship
had agreed to a variety of Bills, without any annethinienti.
CHARITIES, EDUCATION, &c.

• •Lord CASTLEREAGH stated, that what he meant by the
Bill which be was about to propose was to extendjthe power
graiatti 'to Commissioners. In order to accommodate some
Gentlemen On the opposite side, who wished fur some del:iy,
he proposed that the Bill should be brought in, read, isnil
print,d, and copies of it distributed among the Nleinhers,
who might consider its merits during the recess: ant!, tits the
second reading, the principle of the Bill nii4lit he discussed.
His Lordship moved in substance, that leave he given to
nring ma a Bill to extend the p.m ers of Connuissiuners in the

nuto‘fgement of Chanties for the Education of the Poor
Le—, lenetaud, &c.
tie. Law !i AM seconded the motion; and acknowledged
his ii!,lngetion to the Neble Lord for accommodatiog by the
d, lay propeeed. He hoped that the House wuuld .igree to the
a, re neeneeet proposed.
Mr. M. \ TAYLOR., after several questions which were
set isfaciorily answered, gave his asseat.
heave ..ves then given to bring in the Bill ; and Lord Cas-
tlereagh all others-ordered to prep ire and bring lathe same.
PUBLICAN'S LICENSE BILL.
Mr. BENNI,T moved the second reading of this Bill.
r. CA itTW 1:1U1 IT opposed the Bill, because he could ne-
ver emosent to an Art requiring Magistrates to give reasons
for timir refusal of iicenses. ,tie moved " that the Bill be
relea second iPetstliis day six months."
Cti-BWEN,- approved Itiehly of the Bill.
sriTHGE,, botritNE opposed the Bill reluctantly,
I)!t he dinappreved of the principle.
Mr. DAVENPoRT was against the Bill, because it cast a
elur oil the Magistrates.
Mr. G. LAMB supported the Bill. The only reason in
f.,t our of the :daeisti.ites being empowered to refuse licenses
with sot assigning their reasons, resembled Falstaff's refus-
ing to give • reasons en eemeipmea,"
M. sTZJeIeI"NtaIaTLEY disliked tile principle of the
Bill, and vindicated the conduct of the Magistrates. The
power given to I t,etn hail net, very beneficial to the country.
Ali tt;,AlNLil declered himself against the Bill,
G, ;lei al ce,SuOIGNE was of a similar opinion, although
he confessed he saw souse god points in it.
Mr. DAVIS GILBERT was of opiiiion that the discretion-
ary power of the Magistrates was beneficial to the country,
and therefore he so far disapproved of the Bill.
Sir -}low,: Aur WILSON hoped that the objectionable
clause would he omitted. and that-the House would allow
the experiment of the Bill
Mr. BRAGGE BATH: •RST was against the [till, and
disapproved of t !le et nsure conveyed against the Mae istrates.
Mr. Alderman %%meld be very sorry that the Bill
were lost. There were so many good clauses in it that it
oaeht to be passed ire() a law; and therefore, he recont-
acider to his Hen. Friend (Mr. Bennet) to unlit the objece
tieneble ;*oise. In the City of London, ashen a lieence tv, P
shoot to 'alien Away, they ga, e no! ice to the parties, who
acre exam :: .sC before the lilaeistrates, ana the reason as.
sigoed for e- the renewel of the licence.
Mr. BENN 7, • •iet think that the Bill conveyed ant' de-
aciati,,n to the !ates. The Courts of Law theught
an Repeal to aneetisi r no degradation, and therefore
Magistiatts need not pretee: to feel a degradation. He then
proceeded to condemn tee :these of power exercised by the
Magistrates. Where was the late empowering the Magis-
trates io exercise their authority agaiest die Pehlican ? There
was no law,. but an assumed practice on the part of the Ma-
gistrate. If a man acted improperly, so as to he delft ived of
his licence, he had only, according to the exist hie law, to re-
wore to another street, when he would immeuiate,: accom-
modated with another house, and a fresh licence; bu, 1-e the
Bill now proposed, he could not resume his business fee .byre
years at least. He was convinced that the Gentlemen who
acted as Magistrate& in the country would not lend theme
selves to titat oppressive combinetion of Brewers which took
place in town. He trusted the House wottle have no objec-
tint' to let him go into the Committee, when he hoped to
snake such at rangenients as would give general satisfaction.
After a few words from Mr. Stuart Wortley and General
Gaseuigue,
,Mr. CARTWRIGHT expressed himself ready to withdraw
his amendment,if such were the feeling of the House.
The 8.8 was then lead a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Friday next.

Camden some signal mark of honour.

spoke of the Marquess Camden's conduct as deserving of the
wiist grateful remembraitee of his country.
Lord CAsTLEREAGH was of opinion that the Address
proposed could not answer any purpose but to put the Royal
Personage alluded to in difficult circumstances, as, in addi-
tMn of fort one or rank, the generous act of the Most Noble
Marquess could not be compensated. After some further re-
marks of the Noble Lord in commendation of the patriotic
and splendid liberality of the Marquess of Camden, Mr. Bear( e
