THE DIVORCE CLAUSE.

The Order of the Day for the House resolving
itself into a Committee was then read.

The Archbishop of TUAM observed that it
was with much reluctance he rose to address
their Lordships. Ile should not have done so if
the Right Reverend Bench had -not been so
pointedly called on by the Noble Lord who
ended the debate yesterday. So much had
already been said on the thirty-fifth verse of
the fifteenth chapter of St. Matthew's gospel,
that although he should vote against the clause
for Divorce, he did not intend to occupy their
Lordships' time for any considerable time. Here
it must be remarked, that the Illustrious
Lady whose conduct was still under the de-
cision of the House, had been " put away" by her
husband, in earlier life, and if he could distinctly
skew to their Lordships, from numerous texts of
Scripture, the solemn denunciations of the
Lord. God against such putting away of the
wife, he should vote against the clause
as it merely went to relieve the King.--
He had only to refer to the Letter sent by the
present King to her at the time; and the solemn
denunciations of Divine displeasure on such
conduct, for the husband had certainly put away
his wife ; and he had only to refer to the 2d
chapter of Malachi, where the prophet lamented
the putting away of their wives, and described
the face of the Lord as turned from Israel, for
this their sin against his law.
The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH contended that
if the Divorce Clause were omitted, there must be
an explanatory clause to make the Bill under-
stood.

The Bishop of CHESTER explained.
Lord REDESDALE was of opinion that it was
religion that made marriage a civil contract.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was happy to have
called on the Right Rev. Bench for their senti-
ments, if it was only on account of those who had
doubts on the divorce clause.

• Several other Peers spoke,. when the House
divided as follows :
For maintaining the Clause
Against it 6-2

Majority fur it —67.
After this the House adjourned till Ten
o'Clock to-morrow.

Coniv-ExcitANGE, NOY. 8.--The price of
Flour having been lowered ss. per sack, at the close of Mon-
day's market, occasioned very heavy sale for Wheat this
morning, of which article a considerable quantity remained
over from Monday's supply, and alt hough an abatement would
have been submitted to of 2s. per quarter, scarce any could be
disposed ofgexcept a few picked samples at the above decline.
Fine Barley Is. per quarter lower than at the early part of
Monday's market, the supply being tolerably large, and the
inferior samples are 2s. per quarter cheaper; Oats were dull
sale, and is. per quarter lower.—ln Beaus and Peas there is
no alteration.

As Mr. GATTIE the Comedian, (accompanied
by his wife and a friend,) was crossing the end
of Fleet Market from Holborn to Skinner-street,
on Sunday evening, about six o'clock, he was
surrounded by a gang. of pickpockets, who in
attempting to force his watch from his fob, li-
terally tore the upper part of his pantaloons to
pieces. He had, however, in the first instance,
the presence of mind to grasp his watch firmly
in his right had, and the villains were thus
disappointed of their expected booty. It is
strange thatno'ne of these desperate 'gangs of
street marauders ever fall in the way of the
Police.
