ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(VIA SUEZ AND BRINDISI.)

London, May 9th, 1884. - i Marriage With a Deceased Wife's Sister. J TuKSDAJOevehing's sitting; ill the Houso of . Commons was occupied with the annually I recurring subject of the " Deceased Wife's Sjstcr Marriage Law." a question of nafu^l ( and rational emancipation, in which the ■ Anglo - Colonial community for obvious I reasons invariably tako the deopest interest, j There' wore rio1-,',poi!haps,.so many Austra- ] lasian notabilities'in" the galleries ort Tues day asthdre'were' last year on the occasion of thO.'traumphant carrying of the Second j readingiof'thp, new Act through the Houße ' of Lor.ds,; Then t,bo :Prince of Wales was. I present,, and ]tho whole of the Agents- Geheral'fbr tho Australian colonies'gavethe. light'of''their countenances to, the proceed ings.^'' On".hb o'thor evening, Mr Murray ■ Smith.'ie.MiGi, came in for a short time, and«l think I saw Sir Charles Cliffordi.oad Mr<: Thomas Russell in the " special" gall.cry, but neither Sir Francis Dillon Bell nor Sir Saul Samuel were pre soni this'.-ime. The debate was principally 1-onfc.kab.d for the'fact that the topic was broii^htfor Ward by'a working-men's repre sentative;: Mr Broadhurst. Thememberfor Stoke-Bf*he leader in Parliament'of a body' of working-men resolutely opposed to the opening of, public museums and picture galleries ori Sunday.; Their attitude on that question is quite enough,to clear them from tho charge of antagonism to religious feel ing or ecclesiastical law. There are working men who neglect church ordinances; others who avoid legal J.onds j < and a third class twho, if they formed an irregular union, might not care to ;_eo it legitimised. To none of these dections of artisan society belong tho men whom Mr Broadhurst represents. They resemble, indeed, the intelligent middle-class colonist more iio..i-lKir,thjan u Jinyt>W}g. else, , They„have. mavriod their deceased wives' sisters or wish to marry them, and in doing so desire .to avpid cause of scandal, to keep in i full union with their Church, and to place their wives legally beyond reproach. Such men cannot be palled levellers or re volutionists. '''They are ' characteristic of the best type'of English citizen,' and'Mr Broadhdrst, as itheir representative! Was listened: to,, with-, great respect by the House, i .. , - i , . . • -i ■ v , ...' Mr Flencage, in, supporting Mr Broad- Hurst'^ motion, spoko of the mischief aris ing through having different marriage laws in different parts of the Empire. ' . Colonel Makins and Col. Milne Hirne op. posed the measure, recapitulating all the Old familiar arguments used in the House of Lords, and naming a lortg string of great men who had vo£ed' against' it.' .! The best speech of the evening, however, was made by, Mr E. Clarke, who Bpoke most elo quently in favourof the Bill, and altogether repudiated the iallaciaus, and bigoted ob jections of the Bench of Bishops. The .'othor1 speeches wore, not up to much/ When a division was called Mr; Broad hurst's resolution passed by the .large majority .of.lll, viz., 238 ayes, against 127 noc.-/ This ia/the largest oyer given in favour of tho Bill. In ISS2 the' measure was rejected in the Lords by a majority of .4, last year it was1 carried ori the sechnd reading by. a majority of seven. In fact,its final ;su,ccesii, appeared, certain, ; but its defeat was" secured by a , Parliamentary trick not .very creditable to. .those ,who claim to" act from conscientious motives. The' Lord Charicellorileading the opposition to the'Bill,'declared in committee that he bowed tathe'decision of the House;and nol amendment [hostile to the principle of the.i Censure waftmoved.; On the third reading. however, a,',' wliip" against it was suddenly i6sued,and the supporters of the Bill, taken by surprise, were defeated by five.. This sort'of'thihg won't happen again ; in fact, thd measure is nOw safe to pass.'

The Belgian (.ctvernment apparently did not see the i force of sending,M. do Harven on such a ; iva^ue journey, neither did the Antwerp Cliiimbeir of'Coinmei'ce.

Sifi,—After all the talk and cross-firing in tho Houso of Representatives, after all the blame and censure that have been thrown on ithe Government, by the .Opposition for tho deficit, and still more, after all the gush that has been indulged in regarding the interests of the electors, how the majority of ,our ■. representatives p n show 11 their f patriotism",., when.,,,, their own ~-,jittlei '" interests" are touched! The session jugt, concluded has lasted for about three weeksj, and yet thb ae'mbbrs'have'the "cheel" "to' toko-ah'honorarium'of £200 ! arid this in *pite of the fact that there isa large deficit,' which deficit is tho f^uit of their own administration.-1!

It is quite true thai, as givJGeo.geGrey pointed out,, tho House had voted an honorarium of .-£2OO, and conse quently this Bum;io»u_d!'be,c_«iined, but would it not have sbowii'a^eal. ialnd laud able desire ior thei welfare of ;the electors if members had consented to 'accept.only suf ficient for expenses ? Let us look and see what this means. Say we- have SO members in the House, and each draws his £200, what will be the^amonht? ■ Oply^ie.ObO! This is putting it at the lowest possible figure.

Ym ifurtti&r -Stat? that Sir George Grey in faking the Superin tendency, declined tho Commission of Crown Lands.' - This, also, permit'me to assure you, is equally erroneous, .for he could not (and as a matter of fact, did not) decline an office which, as Ihave pointed out, he was i positively forbidden by law io accept. It is furtherstated by you that tho'l "Gazette" notice relative to the lease of ;, the Hukerenui block was sighed by,'a'.' Provincial officer, bat that the notibo of 'the" * acceptance of the tender was1 Sighed by"ttll >'- "Central officer.!' This, .sir, alfowime 'tame say, is another misleading statement of, tho true position of the case, because by the Land ' Act, 1874,« unde_- {jw_ii-S -the leasing- in question took placet I it is expressly declared that,; the, pen in son holding the office of Commissioner of ■'■ i Crown.
