MAKKIAGE ACT AMENDMENT mit..
The house wept into a Committee on the Marriage
Act Aram d newt Bill, and its ampulnients were read.
Mt. WETHERELL objected to the hest clause of this
Bill, which went to put Iblo the power of minors, thr
contracting of marriage with C view of afterwards, by
• ' - the connivance or otherwise of their parents annulling
• them. It was, in his opinion, a piece of useless legie.

before, and to declare that to be law which was as no-
torious as the price of :Muscovado sugar, which appeared
in the Uteette weekly. This Bill might have been very
• snefnl if brought in twenty years ago ; but at the
_pre-
sent timd it acted as a bounty on the obscurity of the
marriage laws. The Hon. and Learned lientlemen con-
cluded by moving that the clause be read that day six
'months.
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, he bail not ex
peered to hear any our oppose the Bill of his Hon. and
Learned Friend, Will less did he expect it from the
9usrter whetter it bad issued. His Hon. and Learned
,driewl oimr him (Mr. Wetherell) seemed to admit that
Om prosiest Marriage Law was one which violated all
eke moral feelings of mankind, rendered property lose-
earn and wised discord among families ; and after this
admission be supposed it was in the exercise of his it-
genoity, in order to render a principle so shocking pa-
latable to his audience, that he bad argued against it.
Pis Hew. and Learned Friend said this Bill was of no
lice, as the law of marriage had bees dear and note.
',tors since twenty years ago. He knew that hr alluded
to the olecis:cou in the case of Lydrarol wool Horner. lint
according to lise present law, marriages with only the
consent of the natant mother so long ago as 17n3 were
now void, and the issue thereby affected, and he asked
what could hydyard sad Horner do in that case ? By
-this law nullity was propagated from generation to ge-
neration, tlorutighout the whole course of the mistrial°.
nial circle. By tt ne father conld know if he possessed
paternal authority over his child—no child know if he
owed filial duty. It because necessary for every one
shout to enter into a state of wedlock to scrutinise the
marriages of the ancestors of the family into which be
was stosag to enter. This Bill even left an ' opening for
web fraud to be committed, and be regretted that it
' dial so. His Hoe. and Learned Friend complained that
this clause pat it in the power of individual. to commit
...rand for the space of a certain number of years. But ,
the prevent 'tide of the law not only permitted the
youloir man marrying under certain circumstances, to
place his wife in a situatiou of great dependeacy, but
also put it out of Isis power, to amend it. It declared that
marriage against the consent of parents and guardians
were null and void for ever. This trill circumscribed
that power to %titbit' a few years. He gave the Bill his
-entire support.
Or. LLSILINOTON perfectly agreed with his Hon.
and Learned Friend, that there were defects in the Mar-
riage Laws loudly calling for amendment, although they
might not deserve the glowing description of lois Hun.
and Learned Friend on his right (Sir James ,Mackin-
. rods) But much as this Bill was necessary, it did not
in bit opinion go far enough, and was most obnoxious in
some of its clauses. He particularly alluded to that class.
*deb pat it in the power of the father, mother, or guar-
dian, to annul a marriage contracted against their con-
sent before the age of twenty-one. He also adverted to
a clans, which gave the same power in the case of a
marriage during minority without the coesent of parents
or guardians. 'The first of these clauses gave au arbi-
trary power over persons without their consent ; and in
the latter Case the gnartlims or parent might be abroad
or absent, and it would be extremely hard to visit Indi-
viduals with punishment for sins which they could not
avoid Committing. He thought it would lw asuchchetter.
to lix an earlier age, and to deduce all marriages before

Me. W ETHERELL explained.
Dr. PHILLIMORE made a few observations in de.
fence of the Bill. it wasstrue, as was stated by 1114
Hon. and Learned Friends, that this Rill left the 'Mar.'
triages of minors in al.etilibrio for a certain, number of
years ; but he set against that evil that the present state
of the law declared marriage contracted by tumors, with-
out the consent of the parents or guardian, null anal
void for ever. He assured his Hon. and Learned Friend
opposite that it he had the same opportunity which he
((Jr. Ploillimore) had of witnessing the oppressive and
devastating operation of this part of the law, he would
not snake the objection to his Bill which he had ad.
. d.
The quesion was then put, and the Clause was
agreed to.
On the second clause being read,
Mr. WETHERELL said he objected to it, !meante it
partook of the nature of a retrospective law. Ile moved
ti " 'se read that day six months.
MES MACKINTOSH observed, that if his
-.ad tramped Friend objected to a law because it
retrospective, he must quarrel with a great number
- best laws. With regard to the defect in our law
Nis clause was intended to remedy, it• almost jots-
:barge brought against it by foreigners, that
. feeling for any thing that could not be ex-
in pounds, shillings, and pence. He saw 01111011

mproteeted. All the ties of honour, and all the in.
of moiety, and the principles of social life were
by such a state of law. Ile then referred to se-

sure.
Er. D. GILBERT rmisded the Hope, that only eh

moral obligation to alter the law, he conk' net befog his
mind to any point at which they could stop Without at-
tempting to remove that mass of calemity which had ac-
co ululated under the present system. In his opinion
they would fall very short of thkr moral duty, if they
did not attempt. es for as lay in them% to remedy the
evil. He could nut see whys clause should be *intro-
duced to put those parties now before the Court in • si-
tuation different from that of parties who were sot be-
fore the Court. The measure ought to be made as com-
prehensive as possible s and those small technicalities
which threw difficulties in the way of ordinary proceed-
ings ought not here to be allowed to affect the omoipm
tence of legislative justice.
The Anienduient was negatived, and the clause the
amendment proposed by Sir J. Mackintosh hiving Irmo
thrown on', was agreed to.
The remaining clauses were thee disposed of, the
House resumed, end the Report of the Committee, was
ordered to be received to-morrow.
On the motion of Mr. Housnone,the House went into
a Committee on the Irish Poor Employseest Hill. The
blanks were filled up. and the House having resumed,
the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow.
• NAVIGATION ACTS.
Mr. WALLACE rose to move that the House should
resolve itself into a Committee on the Navigation Act.
He proceeded to state the object of the Bills now on
their table. These had been framed for the purpose of
explaining, simplifying, and amending the existing
laws, with a view to extend our foreign commerce. The
Resolutions which he had had the honour to submit to
the House at the close of last Section, had pet them in
possession of the general object of the Warts
of the manner in which it was proposed to etcomplish
that object. Some alterations bad been found'necessary.
and these it would be for him to explain. The present
Bills were intended to amend and simplify the law, by
repealipg various Acts of Parliament which had passed,
from the time of Edward Ili. when the first law on the
subject of Navigation was (rained. to the time of Charles
11. The Acts which were to be repealed. had been past-
ed at different times, end with different views, and would
be found contradictory to each other, and contradictory
to those which were considered the navigation laws of-
the. coootry. It was known that an Act, passed in the
reign of Charles it. and one subseqnent to it, formed what
were called the navigation laws of England. The Acts
which it was now proposed to repeal, came under three
dinars—those that were fallen totally into disuse—those
that were contradictory to the navigation laws, end
those which had been rendered unnecessary by subse-
quent and more efficient enactments. To this principle
lie anticipated no objection would be urged, in the Com-
miner. whether this or that particular Act came under
the description which he had mentioned. Two of the
Acre respecting the exportation end importation of
woollens, it might, be thought unnecessary to include.
as they were inoperative, or had been virtually repealed
already. Those, however, to which be alluded, wets
the only ones that stood in their situations. The House
would now lie called upon to determine whether any
alteration in our navigation laws were necessary, and if
any were cited for, whether that which he shield pro-
pose ought to he adopted. Various petitions had been
presented against an *lteration of the mitigation laws;
great alarm had been excited in different parts; and the
present navigation Ise, were said to be those on which ,
the welfare of the nation depended. Foreigners, it was
concluded, Lad no right to complain of their provisions,

naa tee Parliament to consider what system would be
oat beneficial for the country, any conression made to
foreign,* with that object in view, would be no more
than seiwishr seed where we desired to reap a b t.
If it should happen that what we conceded henefitted
others while it contributed to oar prosperity, that would
be roptdoill with pleasure by the country and by those
Lwisam be had then the honour to address. If foreign
pewees World concur in the view which he took of this
subject, be would say that the free system of trade was
•iitat Which would be most beneficial to all. He put it
then to the House, whether in this country which for its
tmensercial greatness was looked to by others as an ex•
suple. whether it would not be wise to show an inclina-
tion to better, sounder principles. He was aware that
pissed in that artiMal state in which we now fouled
miessives, to make a vary great change in our system,
melees other Powers entered into oar views, would be
attended with the most disastrous consequences. We
mast thou for the present confine our alterations within
very same, limits; bat we ought to go to the utmost
verge within them, to which we could advance with
safety, to do homage to that principle, which, beneficial
hi? where, would be at the same time most beneficial to
ottselvea;. and which, by affording the greatest range
11140111/Iffee, would be most favourable to enterprise
sad litdaatry. He showed that when the Navigation
Aet was passed, the circumstances of the country, and
the forwiesblo power of the Dutch, made some of its
prowisioes necessary thew in a political point of view,
whisk were inapplicable to the present circumstances.
He ben not bow Hoe. Keetlemen connected with the
shipping interest would approve of an alteration of the
Navigation Laws; bat this be would say, that they bad
stet their own, interest more at heart than be had. He
wished, to promote their welfare, but he wished to pro-
mote it Wreath the other interests of the country, and
in owattiodow with them. He was unwilling to further
one lobwint without regard to others, or to do that
which might pat the several interests of the country in a
state of conflict lie would ask the Gentlemen of the
shipping interest what wonid promote their welfare
better than extensive commerce? He hardly knew that
the history of the world afforded an instance of a na-
tion's possessing a great navy without great commerce,
and there was hardly an instance of great commerce be-
ing enjoyed without a great navy. Ile knew that there
were places where commerce sad navigation were placed
in a state of conflict? In such a case he should be dis-
posed to give the preference to navigation, because on
the safety of navigation, ouniuterce itself depended. In
the time of Charles the Second, navigation had been so
preferred. It had contributed to diminish the power of
the Unfelt, which at that period was dangerous to Eng-
land, but sines that had been done our system bad bee.
one of relaxation. Gentlemen would be surprised to
find that more than three hundred acts hail passed to re-
lax the provisions of the Navigation laws. But while
this was thing, would it be oontenden that our naval
spirit had declined? It mold be found from the his-
tory of the last twenty-five years, that while we carried
commerce to the highest pitch to which it bad ever boos
carried, our naval glory had gone hand in hated with it.
No time for altering oar commercial system could be
more favourable than the present.' When it was seen
what commercial codes other countries were adopting,
this would he felt to be in no small degree important.
Let them look at Prance—look at flollaoil—look at
Prussia—look at Russia—look at Baden, and look at
the revolutions, restrictions, and prohibitions directed
against this country, which were arriving every Jay,
and it would be seen how desirable it was to set the ex-
ample of reterniag to a more liberal system. lie would
ask if any gentleman believed that the last Russian
Tar-ff would have been what it was but fur the prohi-
bitions resorted to by this country. When the Govern•
went was called upon to retaliate on Russia, it was fair
to ask for what were we to retaliate, when every article
I or her produce that canieinto this country was already
highly taxed. If every country in Europe adopted re-
strictioas dieected against us, what right bad we to cons-
, plain? We who had taught them to act on such prin-
ciples by our own example. It was now for ns to set
them the example of recarring to a better system—to a
systein better for us—hettifre (or them, anti mankind in
general. The provisions to which lie wonid direct their
attention applied net merely to Europe, lint to other
parts of the world. The first relaxation which he had
to propose, was one which he hoped would a ithin a
short time obtain the approbation of all parties. He '
should recommend it to the House to permit foreign
ships to bring goods, the produce of a foreign country,
direct front that country to this. The restriction winch
this regulatioo waist to repeal was, lie apprehended, in-
beaded to give employmeet to Britisli ships. He, however,
believed that'll had never succeeded, and he thought the
House would easily see how weak the policy which
compelled them to be brought circuitously, when goods
brought direct must be obtained at a cheaper rate.—
The operation of the existing laws was that of favouring
partiralar parts of the world, and imposing Weary re-
stnctioas upon others. By the Act of Charles 11. all
.goods were obliged to come into this country in the
ships of that country of which they were the growth or
produce, or in British ships. But with respect to Hol-
land and tlermany there were other regulations. Arti-
c'es of the produce or gron th of the Netherlands could
not come in these ships nor in any others. They were
restricted by regulations which completely proscribed
them. The policy a Lich dictated this he could perfectly
understand. It was undoubtedly wise, it waspruilent. The
policy was to keep down the commerce and the maritime
power of Holland, while she nos a f 'dal& rival and
enemy to this country. But now there was no longer
any reason for acting upon that policy, audit was, con-
sequently, one object of the Bill to place Germany and
the Netherlands in the same condition with the rest of
Europe. With respect to Russia, the articles to hr ad-
mitted would be enuui d, and all he meant to du
Was to so far relax the laws, as to admit a more free and
unewbarrasseil importation of those art:cles. There was
one article of importance which would be inserted
amongst the enumerated articles, and that article was
tallow. The Bill would make it necessary that all arc
titles should be imported in British ships, or in ships of
the country where they were produced. Among the
enumerated articles would be tallow, tobacco, and thrown
sing. He understood that considerable apprehension
was entertained with regard to the admission of the
latter article; but he could nut see the propriety of
making objections to it. Ile was pettedly II I lhoz that

she throwing of silk should he protected in this coun-
try ; but the duties and regulations which had hi.
ghetto protected, would continue to do so still. After
the besetting of Members at the floors of the home upon
this part of the me , and after the sort of threats
which had been thrown out as to the cousegneneet of
throwing men out of employment,. which 'be scald not
but tilink were calculated to iutiutislahrtie precemlingts

of Parliament, he should like to hear the real °Wafers
which could be brought against it. With regard to
smuggling. he could NA see how it was poseibl4 that
any dangerous result could be nitrated beyond what
had already taken place. The effect of %kis measure epos
F.erope would he, that we should set have owe law for
Spne, another for (fermsny and the Nethetlatvd% and
another for Turkey, but that they should be brought
into one consistent anti intelligible shape, applicable to
all nations at all times, and under all cirenutsteaces.*e
The next retaliation he sbould propose was is relation
to America. Ile need not call the attention of gentle,
mew to what had recently passed in •Sonth Arweine
mbar, se splendid a field of consuserce had @posted Heel(
Intim world. Ile need not remind than of whet bad
been done by America, and that by title time, the com•
pint recogettien of these comories as free states, had

tare stomata say what the policy of the lixecutire Govern:
meat should be, bat he manic to plate the Natigethet
Lae once each &state that immediate invantage might be
taken of the commercial benefits arisio& from these toes-
tries. What he proposed was, that the ships of South Ame-
rica should be admitted into this coseiry upon the same
terms as they would agree to receive our own. He had
always understood it to be a great principle in loser Na-
viration Laws that all nations having protium, should be
allowed to being it to this country in cameos with our
owe; and oa this principle he wished our comments
with South America to stand. He was sanguine in
hopiag that this vegetation weld produce considerable
effect whenever it should become !crown. The last pro-
positioa he bad to make related to the distant coma
being ceased to British ships. This appeared to be &
vexadase restriction. and it was the origisal Wenn°
of the Bill to rellbOVe it, sad to leave the carryieg Is
Asia, Africa, and America, Wing, free. Bet the Can.
mittee found that by leaving these voyages to the ships
of other reentries. Hwy would bring all the distant voy-
ages to the Contieent. leaving nothing to British adios
but the transits. It was, therefore. Intended to rested
the imports from those quarters of the globe, unless they
were for exportation. It was said that the northers ame•
tries would gain all the distant voyages on armlet of
their cheapens of construction ; hut he cootemieth that
this would not be the case. The only ships that could
enter into competition with us for the distant voyages
were American, French, or Dutch, and all the intelligent
men examined before the Committee, said that we
always compete with the ships of those mono..
Mediterranean voyages the freight of French sad
ships were higher than ours; sett it was notorious s.
Americans sailed at higher rates than British ships,
therefore their freights oast also necessarily be higher.
He had now stated his views in bringing Geward
Bill, and the principles epos which it was founded. 'a
first object was to clear and simplify the Navigadita
Laws, which were one scattered over above wen boas
Bred Acts of Parliament. and to confine into a
