DISCUSSION OF EDINBURG's APPROACHING
MARRIAGE IN TIE COMMONS.
LONDON, July 20.-In the House Of
Commons, this evening, the consideration
Of the Queens message touching the mar
riagc OF the Duke Of Edinburg was re.
sumed. Gladstone was present and made
q speech urging the grant OF the allow
ance asked. &c referred TO numerous
precedents, and set forth the auspicious
character Of the approaching alliance.
Royal marriages, he said, rarely had pO.
litical or diplomatic significance now.
but this union, while II was one Of mu-
tual affection, would be new tic between
England and what some regarded as II
hostile State. II wOnld cause favorable
change in the public feeling toward Rus.
sia. No time could be more satisfactory
for such an alliance than the present.
Mr.. Gladstone paid aglowing tribute Of
praise to Emperor Alexander for CmanCi.
patton OF the serls. He then moved that
G25, 1000 per annum be granted to the
Prince and Princess, and $4,000 to the
latter In case she survives her husband.
In conclusion the Premier deprecated q
discussion of this character as likely to dc.
stroy the gracelulness Of tho act in the alb.
senCC Of Disraell.
Ward Hunt seconded the motion.
Taylor, member for Leicester, said lie
could not vote for the motion. lie re-
garded the proposition as unwarrAnted
and inexpcdlent, and declared he should
oppose the second reading OF bill where.
in money was appropriated.
James Holt, one OI the members for
Lancashire, inquired whether the Grand
Duchess, AlexanderoOna, was prepared TO
conform to the church OF England
Gladstone replied that this could not be
required Of her by the act of succession,
because che could not be an heir TO the
throne. He added that TO push this ques.
tion would be odious and insulting to the
parties concerned.
The new delegate member for North
Warwickshire suggested that as the issue
might become heirs, the question raised
was pertinent.
After further debate it was agreed that
the necessary appropriation bill should
be introduced tomorrow.
In the House Of Lords the motion for
an annual allowance to the royal pair
was carried unanimously, without debate.
