Scriptirre, and I hope the civil and ecclesiastical law' will speedily be made conformable to the Divine."—Dr. Close, Desln of Carlisle. "Moses does not prohibit marriage with the sister of a deceased wile."—Rosenmuller. " 'ln her lifetime,' because when she was dead he might marry her sister."—Menochius. " 'ln her lifetime.' This sufficiently indicates that he per mitted it when the wife was dead, otherwise than in the case of two brothers."—Jansenius. " Thou shalt not marry two sisters at the same time, as Jacob did Rachel and Leah, but there is nothing in 'this law that rendered it illegal to marry a sister-in-law when her sister was dead."—Dr. Adam Clarke. "The meaning therefore is this :—Thou shalt not take a woman as a wife at the same time with her sister ; for when the wife was dead •it - was allowed to marry her sister."— Pagius. " Certainly, after the death of the wife, it was permitted to the husband to marry her sister, because she (the sister) is not among . the other enumerated kindred of the wife."— Ra Levi. "Both sides use various arguments to show what degrees are prohibited from analogy with those forbidden in the law. But unless it be a manifest thing, and the inference altogether undeniable, it is something presumptuous, from mere analogy, to add to the Divine law."—Joannes Clericus. "The three grounds upon which the petition proceeded were in perfect accordance with his own convictions, as he fully believed they were also with the mind of England and the general sentiment of society, upon the subject to which the petition referred. The three points upon which the peti tion WP s especially groundkd were these —first, that such mar riage was not forbidden by the Word of God ; second, that there was no consanguinity or blood relationship existing between the parties ; and third, that such a marriage was wholly unobjectionable on moral considerations."--Speech of Rev.

The fearful dangers to Invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY'S invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of J 35,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE/S SISTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--The Committee of the Marriage Law Reform Associa tion are desirous of Submitting to the attention of the British public the following "Facts and Opinions," tending to Drove the Scriptural lawfulness of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and the necessity of legalising . such marriages in Eng. land, in accorda nce w ith th e l a w and practice of other Chris tian countries. JOSEPH STANSBURY, M.A., lion. Sec. 21, Parliament -street, June 20, 1859. FACTS and OPINIONS TENDING to PROVE the NE CESSITY of LEGALISING MARRIAGE with a DE CEASED WIFE'S SISTER. " The Bible, the Bible only, is the religion of Protestants. Whatsoever else they believe beside it, and the plain irrefra gable, indubitable consequences of it, well may they hold it as a matter of opinion. I will take no man's liberty of judgment from him ; neither shall any man take mine from me."— Chillingworth. " Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny. In such a coun try tui this, they are of all bad things the worst—worse by far than anywhere else ; and they derive a peculiar malignity from the wisdom and soundness of the rest of our institu tions."—Burke. FACTS. Fact 1. Marriage with a deceased wife's sister is no where prohibited, whether expressly or impliedly, either in the Old or New Testament. Fact 2.• Marriage with a wife's sister is expressly legislated for in Leviticus, xviii., 18, and there the prohibition is strictly limited to the lifetime of the wife. Fact 3. The Jews, to whom, in their own language, the sacred oracles were given, have always understood this mar riage to havelbeeniimpliedly permitted in Levit. xviii., 18, and set a special mark of approbation on such unions, by allowing them to take place when there were young children within a shorter interval after the death of the wile than in ordinary cases. Fact 4. This marriage was never prohibited by the laws of any country in the world before the fourth century of the Christian Era. Fact 5. None of the Six General Councils, held between A.D. 325 and A.D. 680, condemned this marriage. Fact 6. During the first 500 years of the Christian Era this marriage was condemned by only one provincial council, that of Eliberis in Spain, composed of 19 Bishops. This council t a h l so f t o h r e b s a i c 3 l i r t i a t p a e o r f s t t h o ehe Saintslighted m inh might cemeteries i s p a r t h h e e d, day dt re quired bishops, priests, and deacons to live apart from their wives. Fact 7. The Roman Catholic Church does not regard this marriage as forbidden in Scripture. Fact 8. The Church of England nowhere claims authority to prohibit any marriage not contrary to Holy Scripture. Fact 9. Neither the common nor the statute law of the other m r p p r r in oh ci i p b l i e ts th an an y marriageontta alleged o r o kindred contrariety ytoh affinitytelaw o on a ny f God. Fact 10. Protestant Dissenters reg ard the prohibition of this marriage as unscriptural and inexpedient, the deputies of the three denominations having repeatedly petitioned Par liament for its removal. Fact 11. This marriage may be lawrully celebrated in every country in the world except England and Ireland, and one canton of Switzerland. Fact 12. This marriage was virtually permitted in this country before 1835. Fact 13. Neither in this nor in any other country has it been shown that the permission of this marriage has been at tended with injurious consequences. marriage in En land is a recent innovation, dating only from the y ear 1835. Fact 14. The absolute prohibition of this m arria g tanta Fact 15. The Act of 1835 was an unjustifiable Nmpramise, the majority of the House of Commons reluc ly consen t ing to the fliture prohibition of marriage with a decea wife's sister as the means of procuring the legalisation of all past marriages of the kind. Fact 16. The Bench of Bishops on that occasion consented to legalise marriage with a deceased wife's sister previously celebrated—a measure to which it was impossible they should have assented had they believed the marriage contrary to the Word of God. Fact 17. The Parliament of 1835 purposely avoided touch ing on the question of what marriages ought to be prohibited, reserving that important question for future consideration. Fact 18. The Royal Commissioners on the Law of Marriage declare that the Act of 1835 has not secured. the respect or obedience of society. Fact 19. Thousands of such marriages have been contracted; they are found in every town and neighbourhood in the king dom. Fact 20. Society, almost without exception, regards such persons as rightly married, and worthy of respect, and in so doing condemns the law which declares their marriage void. Fact 21. Twenty-one Spiritual Peers have declared it to be their opinion that there is no Scriptural prohibition of these marriages. Fact 22. Numerous clergymen of the Church of England have petitioned for the removal of this restriction. Fact 23. Eleven Deans, and more than 300 other clergymen of the Established Church in Ireland, have expressed &deci ded opinion that this marriage is not prohibited in Scripture. Fact 24. The principal persons in the city of London, and in almost every large town in the kingdom, have repeatedly petitioned against the existing law. Fact 25. Many persona of the highest distinction in both Houses of Parliament have voted for this measure. Fact 26. The House of Commons, in 31 divisions, have voted for repealing the existing' law. Fact 27. Three hundred and forty-six members of the late House of Commons voted for legalising marriage with a de ceased wife's sister. OPINIONS. " We consider that the feeling against these marriages is in a great measure founded rather on a vague and uninformed assumption that they are prohibited by God's word, than on a mature examination either of the Scriptures or the law of the Church." `: We do not find that the persons who con tract these marriages, and the relations and friends who ap prove them, have a less strong sense than others of religious and moral obligation, or are mar k e d by laxity of conduct. " These marriages will take place when a concurrence of cir cumstances give rise to mutual attachment ; they are not de pendent on legislation." —Report of Royal Commissioners , signed by the Bishop of Lichfield, Mr. St uar t Wortley, Dr. Lushing,ton, Mr. Blake, Justice Williams, and Lord Advocate Rutherfurd. " It seems to be established and admitted, that the moral feeling of the community at large is not with this law—that sons, not considering them se l ves tocomm i t the law, in fact, is not obey e d , and * that a grea t n umber ofper any moral offence , do contract marriages which th e law pro hibits. That is not a state of things which ought to exist ; and not being of opinion that there is any moral objection to the contracting of these marriages, and believing that the law as it stands is the cause of a great deal of misery and social evil, especially among the middle and lower classes of the community, I shall with great pleasure give my vote for the motion."—Speech of Lord Palmerston. "I must say that I have satisfied myself that there is not any religious prohibition of these marriages." "It is a mis fortune that the feeling of relationship which takes place by marriage should be weakened by any alteration of the law of' marriage. But, while I admit that, on the one hand, I think that there is a great and practical evil which we cannot very well refrain from remedying. The evil is not among the upper classes of society ; but there is no doubt, partly among the middle classes, and much more among the lower classes, a feeling that, after the death of the wife, there is often no person so fit to take care of the children as the beloved sister of that wife." "It is not, perhaps, in a great number of cases that these marriages would be contracted; but I think where persons feel that they can without scrnplecontract them, that they should be allowed to do so."—Speech of Lord John Russell, M.P. ° " I cannot bring myself to believe that the Divine law pro hibits a man from marriage with a deeeased wife's sister."— Archbishop of York. "I will undertake to say that in no part of the civilised world is there to be found a more moral and intelligent people, especially in regard to the intercourse of the sexes—than are the people of the State of Massachusetts ; and yet, my Lords, in that State the marriages which the noble lord seeks to legalise are consistent with the law. They are not only legal, but they are of constant occurrence."—Speech of Lord Lynd hurst. " Chafin, that bath married two sisters, upon his appeal from your Grace and me, hangeth still before the delegates, and, as much as I can perceive, is not likely, to take any great hurt at their hands. 1 would they would decree it were law ful to marry two sisters, so should the world be out of doubt, as now it is passed away in a mockery."--Bishop Jewell, in a letter to Archbishop Parker, dated June, 1563. From the original in the Archiepiscopal Palace, Lambeth. (This opinion of Bishop Jewell was given two years after the adverse opinion so often quoted.) "The view which he had heard taken in that House respect ing the operation of Scripture, must after all be a mere matter of inference and construction, and, applying himself to that view of the subject, he should say that such marriages as the Bill was intended to legalise were not prohibited, but were tacitly permitted by the words of the chapter which had been so often quoted. He protested against thoopinions expressed by those who contended that there existed any Divine pro hibition."—Bishop of St. David's Speech, 1851. " The Scriptures should be the rt . * of life as well as of faith, and, as I can find nothing thaf. nJlitates against such - marriages, I feel hound to oppose any preposition that inter-' feres with the liberty of the subject."—Rev. Sir Erasmus Williams, Bart., M.A., Chancellor of St. David's. "The prohibition of taking two sisters was meant for the lifetime only."—Milton. "The context also seems to suggest a more literal interpre tation. namely, the marrying of two sisters together. This verse (Leviticus xviii. 18) seems not to contain a prohibition of it (viz., marriage with a deceased wife's sister). Such re strictions as pride, covetousness, or human policy have super added, do not seem to have proved beneficial to mankind."— Scott. " With regard to the Scriptural argument, it would ill be come him to give a confident opinion upon it, when he found the Right Rev. Prelates having considerable doubt, and no small discrepancy among themselves."—Speech of Lord Brougham. "I have an amendment to move to the second clause—it is, ' That there be excepted from the operation of the Bill, cases of marriage with the sister of a deceased wife where there is a child or children under 12 years of age.' There can be no doubt that there are many cases in which it may be of essential importance both to the father and the children that such a marriage should be permitted."—Speech of J. P. Plumptre, Esq., M.P., 1835. " The amendment proposed by the honourable Member is one of very great importance, but I fear that, at this period of the Session, it would be impossible to bestow upon it the consideration to which it is entitled. Perhaps the better course to adopt would be not, to interfere with the Bill, by persevering with this amendment, but to propose next Ses sion a short Act upon the subject to which it refers."—Speech of Dr. Lushington, following- Mr. Plumptre, 1835. " Is the marriage of a widower with his late wife's sister within the 'prohibited degrees?" In all frankness and honesty I am obliged to answer—No. It is interdicted neither by express veto, nor yet by implication. Canonical austerity is not to be identified with moral purity or matrimonial fidelity."—Rev. Dr. Eadie, Professor of Biblical Literature to the United Presbyterian Church, Scotland. "It appears to me, therefore, that first, as Scripture shows that there is nothing immoral in such a connexion ; and se condly, as it is obvious that much evil would be prevented— many poor children saved from misery and ruin by having that person over them who, in - a majority of instances, would be the next best substitute for a mother, my own mind is led to believe that the law of man ought to tally in this respect with the law of God."—Rev. Canon Champneys. " But has it never occurred to you, my dear Wynn, that this law is an abominable relic of ecclesiastical tyranny ? Of all second marriages I have no hesitation in saying that these are the most suitable, and likely to be the most frequent, if the law did not sometimes prevent them. It is quite monstrous, judges and lawyers speaking as they have done of late, upon this subject."—Robert Southey. • " I have never heard upon what principle of policy the law was made prohibiting the marriage of' a man with his wife's sister, nor have I ever been able to conjecture any political in convenience that might have been found in such marriages, or to conceive any moral turpitude in them."—Dr. Benjamin Franklin. " Having again carefully examined the question and con sulted some of the highest authorities in Hebrew literature as to the meaning of the Scripture passages, I am confirmed in the opinion formerly expressed, that marriage'with a deceased wife's sister is not only not prohibited, `either expressly or by implication,' but that, according to Leviticus xviii., 18 (concerning the translation of which there is dot the least un certainty), such marriage is plainly' allowed."—Rev. Alexander M`Caul, D.D., Professor of Divinity and Hebrew Literature in King — 's „ College, London. " Are you of opinion that there is any prohibition in Scrip ture against such marriages ?"—"No ; I am quite satisfied to the contrary."—Evidence of Rev. J. Garbett. " People in general do not consider such marriages impro per. They cannot be proved to be improper by Scripture. The question is therefore one of expediency, and my experience as a parochial minister induces me to think the measure expe dient. On these grounds, it ever a Convocation be called, and elected one of the proctors, I shall move for an alteration in this regard in the table of kindred antlaffinity. Until this be the case I shall be glad to see such marriages legalised by the civil rite."—Dr. Hook, Dean of Chichester. " From all I have been able to learn on the question whether a man may marry a deceased wife's sister,' my opinion is, that neither does Holy Scripture anywhere forbid it, nor ever did the Jews."—Rev. Dr. Lee, late Professor of Hebrew in the University of Cambridge. " Were the prohibitions founded on Scripture we ought, at whatever sacrifice, to obey God rather than man; but I cannot see the expediency of a law which,ihaving no such sanction , is o bserved only by the scrupulous, evaded by the wealthy, and defied or disregarded by the poor."—Rev. Canon Dale. " It is not only not considered as prohibited, but it is dis tinctly understood to be permitted ; and on this point neither the Divine law, nor the Rabbis, nor historical Judaism, leaves room for the least doubt. I can only reiterate my former as sertions that all sophistry must split on the clear and unequi vocal words, Lev. xviii., 18, •in her life time.' "—Evidence of Dr. Adler, the Chief Rabbi l of the Jews in England. " This text, expressed in this manner, shows that it is not permitted to have as wives two sisters at the same time, as Jacob had Rachel and Leah, but only in succession ; and this is the sense which appears the most clear and the most prob able. • . . Analogy is not alw a y s a means o f judging re specting positive laws." —Calmet. " He as -ed them to reflect that the parting request'of many a dying wife was that the man should marry her sister, which was the best testimony to the feeling of woman in this matter. Such marriages were not repugnant to nature nor to Scrip ture ; and if they did but look calmly at these facts, sure he was that the day was not far distant when the obnoxious law would be repealed,"—Speech of the Rev..S. C. Miller, D.D. prac tice of the commonwealth by tho Jew s a ntan was "Within the meaning of Leviticus, an d the constant to marry his wife's sister only du r i ng her life; after he might—so the tdxt is. This perhap s is a /not not easily un tied, how the Levitical degrees are G o d' i law in this king dom, but not as they were in the c ommon wealth of Israel, when first given."—Chief Justice V aughan. prohibited "As no clear and strong case has been made out of impor tant advantage to the public from such re striction, I take my stand on the roadb general principle, that every restriction is an evil in itself,--the burden of proof l y i upon the advocates of any restriction to show its nece ss i t y' . "You are at liberty to refer to me as app rov i ng o f . the abolition of the restriction on marriage to which you allude."—Archbp• offermarr accounta y eos f o s p wh i o n hu l d n h , t such uk h ceahtp, marriagesta c he e o l o i s c e a e l m l n y oa , Whately, in a letter to G.

Hatehard. y i g ground notoi sun be ew correctlhe whatsoever tats legalised." — Evidence s a e v t d e s r:: on "In the Indies—if a husband has lost his wife, he does not fail to marry her sister; and this is extreme y natural, for his new consort becomes the mother of her sister's children, and not a cruel step-mother."—Montesquieu. " I admit that a marriage with a wife's sister is not forbid den in Leviticus."—Bishop of Lincoln (Dr. Kay). "Has never had occasion to observe, either in the mid dling or poorer classes, any injury or immorality arising from such marriages ; never admonished he any of those parties that they were acting in breach of the divine law, because never believed it. The great inducement to these marriages that these parties have a better opportunity than is gene rally afforded of being acquainted with each other's real cha racter and disposition. "—Evidence of the Rev. J. F. Denham, M.A., F.R.S. Such marriages, I apprehend, are nearly as frequent as the circumstances which usually gave rise to them. I have not known any social disadvantages attending them." — Bishop M'llvane, United States. "I do not know—l never heard of any social disadvantages attending such marriages of any description whatever, and am totally at a loss to conjecture what disadvantages' can be referred to."—Rev. J. L. Pomroy, United States. " As far as you know, the general moral feeling of the people would not be offended by a relaxation of the law and a permission for these marriages to be had I"- - " I know of no objection to it. I never met with a person who had an objec tion to it ; I never met with a person out of Parliament who joined with the law, and took the same view which the Legis lature does of these marriages."—Evidence of R. Cobden, Esq., M.P. "'ln 1835 a most important statute had been passed by that House, under somewhat peculiar circumstances, and he might also say, of haste and want of due deliberation, materially affecting a portion of the marriage laws of this country. In OM case th 6- ioge - 6f - Heaven was silent, and that of man bad ben given with a hesitation and confusion of utter ant deprived it of its due authority."—Speech of Lord Francis Egerton (now Earl of Ellesmere), in the House of Commons. "That our Established Church should select one point of the Canon law, and establish an arbitrary limit without giv ing any power of dispensation, was, he was sorry to say, a very great tyranny, and one which he felt convinced that the true principles of the Church of England did not sanction." — speech of R. Monckton Milnes, Esq., M,P, It is remarkable that while there is an express injunction against the marriage of a man with his brother's widow, there is no such prohibition against his deceased wife's sister. In verse 18 the prohibition is only against marrying the wife's sister during the lifetime of the first wife, which of itself im plies the liberty to marry the sister after her death."—Rev. Dr. Chalmers. " Nothing is more common in almost all the States of Ame rica than second marriages of this sort ; and so far from being doubtful as to their moral tendency .they are among us deemed the very best sort of marriages. In my whole life I never heard the slightest suggestion against them, founded on moral or domestic ,considerations. '—Chief Justice Story, U n ited States. "Whence, I pray you, is this rigour of man against man, h has not raquired ? Who has given to men this power , annulling or prohibiti ng marriage)? Be it that they were holy e men, and influenced by pious z eal : why should h ge my liberty ? L et any one be as zea lousl and as holy as he will, so that he does not injure his ne i g hbour or rob him of his liberty. Let them arm themselves witht let notheniv manine law , pu and say, Wh a t G od hath j o i ned to gethert asunder.' The union of husband and wife is of Divine right, which is binding, however contrary it may be to human laws, and the laws of men ought to yield to it without reserve. Forif a man leaves father and mother to cleave to his -wife, how much rather shall he trample under foot the contemptible and unjust laws of men, and cleave to his w ife ? And Pops, Bishop, or officer, if he dissolve any marriage contracted in opposition to merely human law, is Antichrist, a violator of nature, a traitor against the Divine Majesty ; for that sentence still stands : ' What God hath joined, let no man put asunder.'---Perish, therefore, those cursed traditions of men, which have been brought in only to multiply dangers, offences, and miseries in the Church." — Luther. "His first duty was to ascertain whether there was any . thing in the Word of God which forbids the marrying of a widower with a sister of his deceased wife. He looked care fully, he endeavoured earnestly to come at the truth, and he was perfectly convinced that there was nothing in the Scrip tures which prohibited that act."—Speech of R. Spooner, Esq., M.P. " My opinion of the law has long been that it Is an impolitiO restriction."—Archdeacon of Derby. " I believe such marriages as you wish to make lawful are already lawful, according to the letter an d s pi r it of Holy £1,445,902 0 0 187,079 15 9 .You are understood to state that you are of opinion that, so far as the interpretation of Scripture goes, either in the Mosaic or Christian dispensatio n , th ere is nothing.repu,gnant to those marriages ?"—" There is nothing repugnant in my opinion."—Evidence of Rev. R. C. Jenkins. " The petition was probably entrusted to me in consequence of my having declared without hesitation that th e marr i age of a sister of a deceased wife was not prohibited by the Levi tical Law."—The late Bishop of Llandaff. " I shall only add, that all persons who voted for the Act of Parliament which legalised such marriages of that descrip tion as had taken place, nay, all who had an opportunity of opposing -that Act, and did not oppose it, must be regarded as suoscribing to the declaration that those marriages were not in opposition to the Word of cied."—The late Bishop of Meath. "Without pursuing_the,subject further. I shall give it as my opinion that the marriage in questi6n is not against either nature or the law of-God.'',---Rev. T. Binney. "My opinion is certainly in favour of the relaxation of the law prohibiting the marriage of a widoNier to his late wife's sister."—The. Chancellor of the Diocese of Exeter. "Seeing that it was not against the law of God—seeing the great social evils which arose from the restriction, and be lieving that there was no comparison between, the social ad vantages and the social disadvantages arising from this cause, he should give the measure his cheerful assent."—Speech of the Duke of Norfolk. "The ancient Roman law permitted the marriage of two sisters in succession."—Heineccius. "Are marriages of this description considered in Germany to be at all contra bonos mores ?" " Not at all. So far from their being considered contra bonos mores, the feeling of the people of Germany is undoubtedly in favour .of such mar riages." ...." It frequently happens that a widower marries his decased wife's sister out of a pious and affectionate feel ing for his departed wife, And the feelings of the women of Germany are so strong in favour of such marriages, that it often occurs that the last parting request by a wife on her death bed to her husband is, to marry her sister in case he should feel inclined to marry again. This arises partly from affec tion for her surviving husband or relations, that he may not become estranged from her connexions, and partly from affec tion to her sister, and very frequently, where there are young children, for their 5ake."...." Are you aware of any evil con sequences from the celebration of marriages of ,this &Scrip tion ?"—" None whatever. I have spoken with several of my friends, and I have written to some others, asking them whether they are aware that this power of dispensation is the cause of any immorality in families, and their answer is, none whatever. I am not at all aware of any."—Evidence of A. •Bach, Esq. "Though a man might not marry two sisters tpgether, it seems a natural conclusion; from the phrase in her _lifetime,' that he might marry the sister of his deceased wife—and thus we learn from Selden, the Jews in general understood it"— Dr. Dodd. . • " The very strongest reasons for engaging in a second mar riage contract is, frequently, to provide a suitable female head for a family of shall children. In such cases, who is so likely to exercise the requisite maternal care and affection as the sister ofithe deceased mother? To prohibit a marriage under such i circumstances seems to me inhuman."—lion. Judge Mason, United States. " If the founders of our Church have incautiously adopted a canon prohibiting that which of its own mere authority it had no right to prohibit, and which Scripture does not war rant it in prohibiting, now that the evil has become apparent, it is surely time for that Church to rescind such canon, and to cease opposition to the repeal of any secular law founded upon it."—Speech of Viscount Gage. " Having to deal with persons of other communions, who did not recognize the same ecclesiastical law; with the Roman Catholics, who by dispensation tolerate such marriages —there being also Protestant churches in Europe, and Protestant denominations in this country, who recognized the validity, ecclesiastically speakin, of such marriages. . . . It was impossible not to feel that the civil law which declared the illegality of such marriages, and bastardized the children, im posed a heavy penalty on persons who, by contracting these marriages, did not contravene the tenets of their religious persuasion." . . " Socially speaking, if a case was made out that morality would be endangered by the Bill, that would be a reason for rejecting it ; but he had not heard it established that such danger could arise. Marriage being a civil rite, they were bound to make that civil rite co-extensive with the feelings of the country. He bad, therefore, come to the conclusion that it was his duty to support the second read ing of the Bill."—Speech of Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P. " Doubtless it was very gratifying to our national pride to be told that a higher standard of morals prevailed in this country than could be found elsewhere ; but surely it could not be denied that the rules of chastity were as strictly ob served in the North of Germany, Switzerland, and the United States of America, as they were in England. He was entitled to say that the evils anticipated from permitting these mar riages here had not manifested themselves in those countries, for, if they had, the law which authorised them would not have been suffered to continue for 12 months."—Speech of Lord Chief Justice Cockburn. " He had before stated his belief, that if the matter came to be investigated before the Courts, it would turn out that the marriage contemplated in this Bill was in Scotland a lawful marriage ; and he had good reason for saying that that was the opinion of an hon. Baronet, than whom no person ever stood higher in the Church of Scotland—Sir H. Mon crieff. For himself; having come to the deliberate opinion that the marriage in question was not forbidden by the law of Leviticus, he came also to the opinion that the connection was not a crime, and that the marriage was effectual for civil purposes. "—Speech of the Lord Advocate of Scotland (Ruther ford). I have known probably several scores of such marriages. , I have counted a dozen within the last three or four minutes. Most of these dozen belong to the highest class of society. One of them is a doctor of divinity. Several of them are ministers of the Gospel. One is a member of Congress. Am brose Spencer, the eminent Chief Justice of this State, died a few years ago. He married two sisters of Dewitt Clinton, the distinguished Governor of this State. The Presbyterian Church of this village has probably not more than 50 members. Two of these married sisters of their wives."—Gerrit Smith, Esq. United States. Esq., express my conviction that Scripture says not one word against marriage with 'a deceased wife's sister. Surely it is not a crime, and, if it be not, the law that cdnstitutes so must be, for the worst of all crimes is an evil and unjust law."— Rev. Geo. Gilfillan, Dundee. " The prohibition of such marriages is, in my judgment, sanctioned neither by Scripture, nor by physiology, nor by expediency."—Rev. 11. Renton, Kelso, Scotland. He declared, most conscientiously, he could find no prohi bition of this marriage in the Holy Scriptures."—Speech of the Right Hon. Stuart Wortley, M.P., Recorder of London. " If this marriage be lawful in the sight of God, then I go upon the broad ground that, in such a case, no man has a right to impose a restriction on his fellow-man which God has not imposed; that the doing so can only bring a snare upon the conscience, and be the occasion of sin ; and that no sanction of human law can be expected ultimately to succeed in enforc ing what a man feels is no transgression of the law of God." . . . . " That it is lawful; according to the Word of God, I consider incontrovertibly proved by the passage in Levi ticus, of which I feel sure I have established the only correct translation."—Rev. C. J. Goodhart, M.A. After all the consideration he had been able to give the question, his conclusion was, that in no sense could the mar riages proposed to be sanctioned by this bill be said to be op posed by Scripture."—Speech of T. E. Headlam, Esq., M.P. "The petition from the city of London, in favour of this marriage, was signed by a large number of persons, and among others by the Lord Mayor, the Governor and Deputy-Gover nor of the Bank of England. and a considerable number of the Directors of that establishment, by 59 private bankers, by the Chamberlain of the city of London, by 237 merchants, 146 solicitors, 124 barristers, and 61 physicians. It was his good fortune to be acquainted with a large number of the persons who signed this petition, and he could say from hi , knowledTe of their characters, that their opinions were entitled to the greatest weight and attention."—Speech of Lord Overstolle• "That the enactments of the Levitical law are entirely mis interpreted when applied in condemnation of marriage with a deceased's wife's sister was the decided judgment of Mr. Wesley,' the founder of our Societies ; and I believe that similar views have since been entertained by Many of those among us who have been led by circumstances carefully to examine the matter, and whose competency to judge of such a question has given great weight to their conclusion."—Rev. Dr. Bunting, " He had given his best attention to the arguments adduced to show that there was a divine prohibition against these marriages, but he was satisfied in his own mind that no such prohibition existed. . . . Then came the question as to the effects of this measure upon society, and he thought that the great preponderance cf arguments, and facts upon which arguments were grounded, were in favour of the alteration of this law."—Speech of Sir George Grey. "He was sineerely favourable to the object of the Marriages Bill."—Speech of the Earl of Ellenborough. " I shall endeavour to show that the marriages it is sought to legalize are not forbidden by the Word of God ; that they are not contrary to the law of nature ; and that they are not inconsistent with the interests of society. I am happy to be able to inform the house that Lord Denman is desirous of supporting this Bill."—Speech of Earl St. Germans. "1 helieve all restrictions upon the nuptial union, unless founded upon the law of nature, or the express authority of Scripture, unwise and unjust; in neither of which sources have I found this interdict of marriage with the sister of a deceased wife."—John Quincy Adams, late President of the United States. " Everything that I have read upon this subject, for the last 20 years, has satisfied me that the objection is utterly un scriptural and unfounded."—Justice Story, Massa husetts. "As far as I can judge, I do not believe one syllable of the unlawfulness of this marriage under the Christian dispensa tion." Chancellor Kent, New York. " There is no law forbidding such marriages in the state of Massachusetts ; and, other things being equal, they are re garded with favour. I have never heard of any disadvantages attending, or supposed to attend them ; and I make this re mark in reference to apprehepsions which, as I perceive from the public discussions, prevail in England."—Hon. Edward Everett, late American Ambassador to Great Britain. " Such marriages, in Brazil, are as frequent as they can be. They inspire no repugnance, but, on the contrary, are eon_ sidered extremely advantageous where there are children of the former marriage ; for it is always to be presumed that the aunt, who already knows the children of her brother-in-law, and is connected by the ties of relationship, will prove a better mother to them than a stepmother; who is an entire stranger to them can possibly be."—His Excellency the Brazilian Am bassador, " I have perused, with much pleasure, your letters on the. marriage of a man with the sister of a deceased wife, which not only confirm me in the opinion which I had long enter tained, but must, methinks, satisfy every candid mind, that there is not even a pretence for the assertion that such a con nexion is prohibited by the law of God."—Judge Livingston, United States. " There was no prohibition of the wife's sister, except during the lifetime of the wife."—Rev. Professor Robinson, New York, Author of " Researches in Palestine," &c. " From the fact that the prohibition of marriage with the sister of a wife is restricted to the lifetime of the wife, it is evident that under this prohibition is not comprehendedmar riage with the sister of a deceased wife, the limitation, in her lifetime,' leaving the marriage free after her death." — Cardinal Cajetan. -" Moses, in Leviticus, prohibited certain marriages and per mitted others in the same degree. For he prohibited marriage with the wife of a brother even after his death, and did not prohibit marriage with the sister of a wife, unless in her life time ; and, consequently did not prohibit it with a sister of a deceased wife."—Cardinal Bellarmine. "Da you construe that passage in Leviticus (xviii., IS) as prohibiting marriage with a deceased wife,s sister, a s saying that a man should not take two wives together, • or mereaiy the same time being so related ?"—', Certainly. ftbiltverse s er should a ppears to have the latter meaning, that two 01 of the same not be living together in the same house ca wives' person." . . . "Is such a marriage held by your Church as prohibited in Scripture ?"—." Certainly not. It is considered a etatter of ecclesiastical legislation,' —Cardinal Wiseman. "Though it is cert a i n th at the case of marriage between brother and sister-in-law came before our Saviour (Matt. xxii., 24), yet we do not find that he spake one word against it. "—Fry. "No man has examined this subject more diligently than Fry, the author of a pamphlet which you justly commend, and you see my opinion perfectly coincides with his."—Sir •Wil liam Jones. " The subject matter requires that we take the word sister in the common acceptation of it, and then an Israelite is for— bid to take the wite's sister while that wife is living."— Bishop Kidder. "The meaning of the precept is, that no man should marry his wife's sister while that wife is living."—Bishop Patrick. " ihe Jews regarded the marriage with a wife's sister as not unlawfuL This marriage Moses permits ; but prohibits, on the other hand, the marriage of two sisters at once."— Michaelis. " The civil law of Prussia accords full liberty to the marriage of a man with the sister of his deceased wife. Such marriages are by no means rare. Experience does not show that in their conikquences they differ essentially from other marriages."— Royal Prussian Consistory, Prussian Saxony. " Public opinion in our country is entirely in favour of such marriages, and when very lately this subject underwent dis cussion in both our Chambers, all our six dignitaries of the Protestant Evangelical Church, as well as the two of the Roman Catholic Church, pronounced themselves in its favour; nor were there any voices raised by the strictly religious of our community (of which, thank God, there are many) against it."—Professor Kapff, Stuttgart. " I do not remember any Massages in the records of the early Church which bear on this subject previously to the positive enactment condemning it, but not annulling it, in the Council of Eliberis or Elvira in Spain, the most probable date of which is A.D. 306. • I am aware that an appeal to that , s n s h t a h s e b H e e o n u s l a e i o d f o L n o d h s e , re garded as any groundwork on which the Leg,is ature of this canonbC u o t u Icaiml of wt that v m c i a n o d i n d e n i t t a m a t n t a d o n o y t hmautc yearshi t s s ag t ei country can safely build its own laws on the subject of mar actment cannot be riage. If this canon on the subject of marriage be binding on us, the others, as such, most be equally binding; but some there are which are utterly at varianeetwitli our views of social duty, and could never find a response in tbe sentiments of our Church and nation."—Rev. James Endell Tyler. " From various considerations such marriages 'here have become very common. So far are such marriages from being contrary to public opinion, that people are, on the contrary, inclined to consider them both natural and desirable. We express our conviction that there ought to • exist perfect liberty between widowers and the sisters of their late wives to. contract such marriage."-e-Ducal Saxe-Lo' bourg, Ministry in Council. " It is my decided conviction, after careful investigation and consideration, that there is no direct scriptural prohibi tion declaring such marriages unlawful. I do not stop to con sider how the repeal of the present law may affect the inter course between a husband and his wife's sister. This is not a matter for legislation. I could not support the law as it now stands."—Bisli op of Manchester. "Whether the question is considered in a religions, moral, or social point of view, such marriages are unObjeationable, while in many instances they' contribute t 6 th e h app i ness of the parties, and to the welfare of motherless children, and among the poor, have a tendency to prevent immorality."— Petition signed by the Bishop of London (Dr. Tait), 1849. "There is even among the opponents of this Bill (the Mar riage till) a wide diversity of opinion as to there being a Divine command prohibiting these marriages, and ihat the weight of authority is against the existence of any such Divine injunction. If among the richer classes there is .a dislike upon social grounds to a change in the law, that dislike rests upon sentimental rather than on substantial grounds ; whereas among the poorer classes it cannot be denied that the law causes great immorality and unhappiness."—Speech of Lord Wodehouse, March 22,1839. "The passage (Lev. xviii., 18) requires no aid from a canon. It is so clear, and so distinct, as to leave no doubt on my mind respecting the Divine permission to contract these mar riages." I shall vote for this Bill, because I consider it cal culated to prevent a vast degree of immorality among the poor and because I hold the prohibition of such marriages to be a flagrant violation of the rights ofconscience."—Speech of the Earl of Albemarle. "We who support this Bill do not think that the marriage of a deceased wife's sister is opposed to the law of God, and we do think that it is as wrong to restrict that which God permits as to grant dispensation for that which God forbids." —Speech of Viscount Lifford. "These marriages are not contrary to the Divine command. The scriptural argument against them seems to me to break down at every step. In proportion as, by our prohibitions, we multiply the opportunities of temptation, and prevent the enjoyment of any seeming advantages, not evil in itself, in the same proportion we extend and inerase the power of the enemy of mankind.''—Speech of Bishop of Cork. "He had neve r risen from an examination of the religious arguments but with a • firm conviction that these marriages were sanctioned by the Word of God. As to the social grounds, he could not conceive any reason for which the law should prohibit those very marriages which seemed most likely to secure the happiness of the deceased wife's child ren."—Speech of Edward Ball, Esq., M.P. " He thought that those who disapproved these marriages should be content to obey their own consciences themselves, but that they had no ground for enforcing on others scruples which were not really based on the Word of God."—Speech of Charles Buxton, Esq., M.P. " He did not think the measure proposed was any infringe ment on scriptural precepts or commands. It was a remark able fact that from the time when the scriptural law was given to the present day, so far as could be ascertained, the Jewish people themselves had never interpreted that law as a law of prohibition. Referring to marriage with a brother's widow, the bishop said it was inconceivable that on a subject of mo ral purity and moral principle, the author of a scriptural law should in one place permit that which in another place was prohibited. He felt bound to say that he did not perceive in the Scriptures any direct prohibition, or any inferenti 41 pro hibition against such marriages."—Speech of ex-Bishop of Norwich. "So far as the poor are concerned, I believe that an altera tion of the present law is much to be desired."—Lord Auck land, Bishop of Bath and Wells. "Public opinion,'which feels no scruple of any kind as to such marriages, approves of them most particularly when there are young children of a first marriage, as giving them in the sister of their late mother a second loving mother. The permission of such marriageshas, with tts, been productive in no way of evil consequences."—Consistory Court of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. "The arguments attempted to be drawn from Scripture by the opponents of the measure were arguments by inference ; and, considering the conflict of opinion among eminent divines of this and other Christian communities, and that, at best, arguments by inferenco were of a very doubtful character, he thought they might very well leave the resolution of the doubt to the conscience of ach individual. But, believing-, as he did, that Scripture, so far from prohibiting, sanctioned these marriages, it was a grievance of which the people might justly complain, that the law of the land was out of harmony with the revealed will of God."—Speech of the Bishop of Ripon. "My Lords, the vote which I shall give in support of the Bill before your Lordships' House, will, I think, be in accord ance with, and not in opposition to, the Levitical Law. I acknowledge that law to be binding. I hold as strongly as any one a belief in the inspiration of the Scriptures, but in saying that, I mean that there is not a word too much nor a word too little. Believing, then, that every word has its own important meaning, I would remark that the verse in Leviti cus, which has been so often alluded to, contains these words, during her lifetime.' My i mpress i on is that these are quali fying words ; that they imply a prohibition to take a wife's sister as a wife, during the wife's lifetime to "vex her—but that the wife being dead, the prohibition was removed—that the marrying a wife's sister on the death of the wile is thus virtually pronounced to be perfectly lawful."—Speech of the Bishop of Carlisle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES.-TUESDAY. The meeting was inaugurated with its wonted success. The supply of sport was ample, and the racing was marked by incidents of the highest im portance to persons engaged in turf pursuits. The assemblage of company comprised a large number of the aristocracy, many of whom are enjoying the hospitalities of GoodwoodHouse ; but of spectators outside the. Grand Stand the show was somewhat scanty. The weather was delightful ; scarcely a cloud obscured the bright blue sky,, and the warm atmosphere was ever and anon pleasantly tempered by a refreshing breeze. To add to the gaiety and picturesque character of the scene, reapers were busily engaged in the corn fields which lined the road to the Course, and the memory of the oldest visitant to the Park could scarcely parallel so early a commencement of the harvest in Sussex. From several fields the corn had been garnered, and only stubble visible. The bookmakers generally expe rienced no unprofitable day, for although certain favourites won, yet the handicap events left balances on the right side of their books. Clydesdale, who was backed heavily for last year's Two Thousand and Derby, had so lenient an impost for the Craven Plate that he was made first favourite ; but he ran a slow horse, and was beaten easily by St ar o f th e East, who had found few supporters. The Star is now the property of Lord Clifden, who purchased him of Mr. Bowes just prior to the recent Liver pool meeting. sto 1 was betted on Thormanby for the Lavant Stakes, and his partisans were not un easy as to the success of their ventures. The horse waited until reaching the Grand Stand enclosure, when he came out and literally won as he liked. After the race 14 to 1 was taken ab mt him for the Derby. The Stewards' Cup commanded a field of thirty-four, and finished a race as remarkable for the closeness of its finish as for itsvery picturesque effect. The favourites were signally defeated. Theodora tired at the end, and Grand Secret seemed too slow. Maid of Kent ran in front through out, and won by a head, and in fact the first four were so close together, that until the number was displayed on the telegraph board, the spectators were unable to determine the eneweilon-- win ner. Many persons at the lower end of th f s o u l r e bfancie dswerved that North in the Lincoln last fewh a t d s b been success ful, c c e shs The performance of this horse was an extraordinary d one, and must re-establish his reputation, re cently been slightly damaged, for p a os sleesassi least goivmneerriat of the highest degree of excellence, short course. The Cup is a vase, or cistern,t three Es(l. console Itis sil ver, partly gilt, the original in majolica, the wo r k of Orazio Fontana, of Urbino, dating about 15 50, in the collection of Alexander pillar, Barker, ona supported on a feet adorned with rich a canthus foliage and head s heads, m as k e d i n high of chimra. In the intervening spaces in th e s id es c entral relief, from f v r a o s m e warheieth anhre helgionhold fest oons of flowers. The plain surfaces of the vase are elaborately en graved with grotesques in the style of Giovanni da Udine ; the cistern rests on a triangular plinth, also richly adorned with arabesques, the dead silver surfaces being relieved by the rich gilding of the ornamental parts, by this means imparting a gene ral effect of great but subdued richness. It was designed by Marshall Wood, and engraved by Her bert Parsons,, and manufactured by Mr. C. F. Han cock, of Bruton-street. Th e Gratwicke Stakes was won in a canter by the favourite, Mayonaise. The accident to Ashman, who was savaged by Chapelier, is described in the account of the race. Chapelier would eviden_tly be ben e fit e d b y an i nterv i ew w i t h Mr, Barey. :Winton, a very highly tried two-year old, won the Ham Stakes in a canter.

The severe in flammation with which they all commence is exceedingly painful, indeed almost intolerable. If the particular part affected be fomented for some time in warm water, dried, and immediately afterwards thickly covered with Hol loway's Ointment, the pain will gradually grow less, the thrObbing soon subside, and the rising fever speedily be repressed, and the patient freed from pain, will b e a bl e t o obtain some sleep, which will brace again the shattered nerves. In inflammation of the fingers, whitlow, &c., this ointment prevents all contractions of those members, re lieving the sufferer from all doubt as to the preservation of the hand's entirety.
