Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. PickfOrd is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London 'Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing maladrlty translating this little• book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

" 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 £5,000, 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 an breach of the inj.

I ant awdre that an appeal to that Council was made, not many years ago, in the louse of Lords, but I am convinced that too much streshahasbeen laid on the canon of that Council, and that its enactment cannot be re garded as any groundwork on which the - Legis ature of this country can safely build its own laws on the subject of mar riage. - If this canon on the subject of marriage be binding on us, the others, as such, must be equally binding; ; but some 1 there are which are utterly at variance with our views of social duty, and could never find a response in the sentiments of our Church and nation:"--Rev. James Endell Tyler. • " From various considerations su ch marriages here have become very common. So far are such marriages from being contrary to public opiuion, that people are, on the contrary, inclined to consider them both natural and dedrable. We express our conviction that there ought ,to exist perfect liberty between widowers and the sisters of their late wives to contract such marriage."—Ducal Saxe-Cobourg, Ministry in Council.

" Whether the question is considered in a religious, moral, or social point of view, such marriages are unobjectionable, while in many instances they contribute to the happiness of the parties, and to the welfare of motherless children, and among the poor, have a tendency to p r event immorality."— Petition signed by the Bishop of London (Dr. Tait), 1849.. " There is even among the opponents of this Bill (the Mar riae-,e-Bill) a wide diversity of opinion as to there being a Divine command prohibiting these marriages, and that 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 ;rounds ; whereas among the poorer classes it cannot be denied that the law cauka , great immorality and unhappiness."—Speech of Lord Wodehouse, March 22,1859. " 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 i iimorality 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 b ti reak down at every step, In proportion as , b y our prohibions, 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 increase the power of the enemy of mankind."—Speech of Bishop of Cork. "He had never 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 ofEdward 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 lie did not perceive in the Scriptures-any direct prohibition, or any inferentisl 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 marriages has, with us, been productive in no w 4y 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 inference were of a very doubtful character, lie thought they might very well leave the resolution of the doubt to the conscience of each 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. "Mv Lords, the.vote which I shall give in support of the Bill before your _Lordships' House, will, I think. be to 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 impression 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 wife is thus virtually pronounced to be perfectly lawful." —Speech of the Bishop of Carlisle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES.—TUESDAY. The meeting was in - tugurated with its wonted 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 n umber of the aristocracy, many of whom are enjoying the hospitalities of Goodwood House; 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 Star of the East. who had found few supporters. The Star is now the property of Lord Clifd.en, 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 15 to 1 was taken about 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 its very 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 win ner. Many persons at the lower end of the enclo sure fancied that North Lincoln had been success ful, but he swerved in the last few strides. The performance of this horse was an extraordinary one, and must re-establish his reputation, which had re cently been slightly damaged, for possessing merit of the highest degree of excellence, at least over a short course. The Cup is a vase, or cistern, in sil ver, partly gilt, the original in majolica, the work of Orazio Fontana , of Urbino, dating about 1550, in the collection of Alexander ilxapndlearr, and three co ßarker,, Esq. It console ol is e supported on a central feet adorned with rich acanthus foliage and heads of chimaera. In the intervening spaces in the sides of the vase are three lions heads, masked in high relief, from which hang bold festoons of flowers. The plain surfaces of the vasa 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 sur faces 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. The Gratwicke Stakes was won in a canter by the favourite, Mayonaise. The accident to Ashm a ll, w h o was savage d by Chapelier, is described in the account of the race. Chapelier would evidently be benefited by an interview with Mr. Rarey. ;Winton, a very highly tried two-year old, won the Ham Stakes in a canter.

MARRIAGE WITH. A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—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 accordance with the law and practice of other Chris tian countries. JOSEPH STANSBURY, M.A., Hon. See. 21, Parliament-street, June 20, 1819. FACTS and OPINIONS TENDING to PROVE the NE CESSITY of LEGALISING 3IARRIAGE 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 ofjudgment from him ; neither shall any maxi take mine from me."— Chillingworth. " Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny. In such a coun try as this, they are of all bad things the worst—worse by tar than anywhere else ; and they derive a peculiar malignity from the wisdom and soundness of the rest of our institu tions."—Burke. a state of things which ought to ekist ; • and not being of opinion that there is any moral objection N 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 votefor the molion."—Speech of Lord Palmerston. "I must say that I haVe satisfied myself that there is not any religious prohibition of these marriag - es." "Itis a mis fortune that the feeling of relationship which. takes place by marriage should be weakened by any alteriation 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 remedy' n ... 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'feelthat they can without scrnplezontract 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 ft matt from.marriage with a deed:aged Wife's sistef."— 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 -L. - 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 sisterb, 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. I 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 aray 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 the opinions expressed Iv those who contended that there existed any Divine pro hibition."—Bishop of Fit, David's Speech, 1851. " The_ Scriptures should be the qnle of life as well as of faith, and, as I can find nothing that militates against such marriages, I feel bound to oppose I proposition that Inter feres with the liberty of the -subje ."—Rev. Sir Erasmus Williams, Bart., M.A.; Chancellor of 't. 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. 187 seems not to contain a prohibition of it (viz., marriage with a deceased wife's sister). Such re strictions as pride, covetousness, or human policyhave 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 importanee 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 antewer—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 conveniencethat 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 not the least un certainty), such marriage is plainly . allowed. "—Rev. Alexander 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. Garbett. "People in general do not consider such marriaays 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 I be elected one of the proctors I shall move for an alteration in this regard in the table of kindred and affinity. 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 dig - he 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,fhaving no such sanction, is observed only by the scrupulous, evaded bf the wealthy, and defied or disregarded by the poor."—Rev. Canon Dale. " It is not only not considered as prohibited, put it is dis tinctly understood to be permitted ; and on this poi nt neither the Divine law, nor the Rabbis, no r 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. " — Ev idence of Dr. Adler, the Chief Rabbi of the Je w s 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 i n s uccession ; and th is is the sense which appears th e most clear and the most prob able. . . . Analogy is not always a means of judging re specting positive laws." —Calmet. "He asked 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 b u t l ook calmly at t h es e facts, sure he was that the day was not far distant when the obnoxious law would be repealed,"—Speech of the Rev. J. C. Miller, D.D. "Within the meaning of Leviticus, and the constant prac tice of the commonwealth by tho Jews a man was p rohibited to marry his wif e ' s sister only during her life; after he might —so the text is. This perhaps is a knot not easily un tied, how the Levitical degrees are God's law in this king dom, but not as they were in the commonwealth of Israel,. when first given."—Chief Justice Vaughan. "As no clear and strong case has been made out of impor tant advantage to the public from such restriction, I take my stand on the broad general principle, that every restriction is an evil in itself—the burden of proof lying upon the advocates "You of any restriction to show its necessity." • • • • are at liberty to refer to me as approving of the abolition of the restriction on marriage to which You allude."—Arclibp. Whately, in a letter to G. A. Crowder, Esq. "I speak advisedly when I say that I come here prepared to offer my opinion, that, theologically, it is correct that such marriages shou:d take place ; I see no ground what3oever on account of which such marriages may not be legalised. Evidence of Rev. J. Hatchard. "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."-3lontesquieu. den I i e a d v i t t i h m a i t s — m it a i i •r s i h a e g p e e w f it L h i e a ee w l i n fe j ' v ssister "Has never had occasion to observe, either in tue mid dling or poorer classes, any injury or immorality a risin g fr o m such marriages ; never admonished he any of tho se p arties that they were acting in breach of the divine la w, because r iiay i ) s not Le. never believed it. The great inducement to these marriages is, that these parties have a better opportunity than is gene rally afforded of being acquainted with each o ther's real cha raster and disposition."—Evidence of the Rev.

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 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. In 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, mated-alb' affecting a portion of the marriage laws of this country. In this case the voice of Heaven was silent, and that of man had been given with a hesitation and confusion of utter ance that 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 didnot sanction." — Speech of It. Monckton Milnes, Esq., M.P. "It is remarkable that while there is an express injunction against the marriage of a man with hisbrother'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 fi rs t wife, which of itself im plies the liberty to marry the sister after her death."—itev. 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.

"The ancient Roman law perm itted 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 ia, to marry her sister in case he should feel inclined to marry again. This arises partly from affec- Hon for her surviving husband or relations, that he may not become estranged from her conaexions, and partly from affec tion to her sister, and very frequently, where there are young children, for their sake." ...." Are you aware of any evil con sequences from the celebration of marriages of this descrip 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 immorality in families, and their answer is, none whatever. any I am not at all aware of any."—Evidence of A. Bach, Esq. ",Though a man mi ht not marry two sisters together, 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 Camily of shall children. In such cases, who is so likely to exercise the requisite maternal care and affection as the sister of the deceased mother? To prohibit a marriage under such circumstances seems to me inhuman."—Hon. 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 toler,4te such marriages—there being also Protestant churches in Europe, and Protestant denominations in this country, who recognized the validity, ecclesiastically speaking, 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 religions 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 establithed that such danger could arise. Marriage beteg a civil rite, they were bound to make that ivit rite co-extensive . with the feelings of the country. He had, 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 mouths."—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 bad good r eason 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 erica'. For himself, having conic 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 e crime, ech o and f th e Lord Advocate of Scotland ( Ruther that the marriage was effectual for l purposes.

Mpst 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 i s a member of Congre 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. "I 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 constitutes 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. H. 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 50 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 his knowledge of their characters, that their opinions were entitled to the greatest weight and attention." —Speech of Lord Overstone. "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 Ge 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.

"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 sepse than others of religious and moral obligation, or are marked by laxity of conduct."
