CITY, Two o'CLocs. The. Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, but with a steady appearance. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were for export and on speoulation.' The Railway Share Market was quiet, and prices were a shade lower. The Bank of England return for the week ending the 19th inst. is of an unfavourable character, although the payment of the dividends, and the demand for money to meet the final instalments of the Loan, have no doubt principally produced some of the unsatisfactory changes exhibited. The decline in the bullion is accounted for by the shipments to Turkey on account of the Loan, but as these are likely to diminish, and the arrivals of gold from Australia continue large, an early alteration for the better is reasonably anticipated.

It is confidently reportedin some' quarters that a loan of 10,000,0001. and a funding of kachequer-bills to the extent of 5,000,0001. will be determined upon ; but after the remarks made to theXhancellor, when the last loan was taken, with reference to a suspicion that the particulars had b een given to a few favoured individuals some days previously to the official announcement, it.. is. . considered improbable that the pre cise intentions of the Government upon the Present occasion have . been allowed to trans- Pit% Many incline to the belief that the °um required will not reach 15,000,0001., that a small Consols loan will be taken, and that an issue of Terminable Annuities will be included in the operations. All statements at present, however, are Purely conjectural ; but the determination of the Government will, no doubt, speedily be made k nown, and set at rest the anxiety which is now felt upon the subject by those interested in the Progress of monetary affairs. The official return of the exports of bullion from the Port of London for the week ending Thursday last is as follows : mos. - Belgium l.. u 0 s Hamburg - Ditto 20,349 8 Ditto 1,940 St. It fl Belgium 65 25 25 The Continental Bourses have exhibited some . 50 degree of fluctuation in the quotations of national r. t securities during the week, with a general tendency LO to decline, which shows that the rise in stocks con sequent on the announcement of peace has been over -estimated. On the Vienna Bourse the 5 per Cent. Metallics have fallen 4 to 851 ; shares of the New Bank of Credit 2fl. to 342, and Austrian Rail- Ways 4to 2614. At Berlin the 31 per Cents. are 56 1, and the 4 per Cents. 964. At Frankfort the 5 Per Cents. are 83, and the 41 Stock 76. At Madrid the 3 per Cents. are 40-70, and the New Deferred 24-75. On the Paris Bourse the 3 per Cent. Rentes left off yesterday at a decline of 15c. for the account, and the 41 Stock improved 5 °en % Ines. A telegraphic message from Liverpool announces the arrival at that port of the Royal Mail packet Beemach from Australia, with advices from Mel bourne to the 31st January. These mention that a motion was brought forward in the Legislative Assembly proposing the reduction of the export duty on gold, but it was negatived by a large ma- Jority. The state of trade in the colonies generally is repoited as very satisfactory. The price of gold ruled steadily at 31.155. ; and no alteration in the rates of exchange had taken place. This vessel brings 72,0001. value of gold on freight, besides a quantity in the hands of the passengers, who number 180. The unfavourable nature of the Bank of Eng land return, the particulars of which are given above, and the rumours that a loan will soon be announced, have had a depressing influenc e u p on the F un d s , a further decline of nearly 4 per cent. havlu g occurred. Consols have been 924 924, and 924 924 for money. For account they have been 924 924, and since 92,; 921. The I% Tew 3 per Cents. are 914 to 92, and the Re dueed 914 I.

In the Foreign Market there has been in creased animation but sales have preponde rated, and prices are consequently weaker. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 964 to 9 74, and the 4 per Cents. 1014 4. Spa:nish 3 per Cents. were 44/, Do. Certificates 5, and French 44 per Cents. 93, with the exchange at 25f. 400. Sardinian Bonds have been 944 to 95, Russian 5 per Cents. 105/, and Mexican 214 being flat. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, —; Mexican, 224 ; Peruvian, 77 78 ; ditto 3 per Cents., ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 48 . 50 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 6 ; ditto 44 per Cents., 94 5 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 444 4 ; ditto Deferred, 234 1 ; ditto Certificates, 44 54 ; ditto Passive, 6/ 74.

Perhaps one cause of dividend mines sharing the general depression may be found in the fact, that the promised increase in the rate of profits, upon which shares rose eon4iderably, has not yet been realised. —Miming Journal of this day.

Let any unprejudiced man who had never heard of tlie dispute upon 'this question refer:to hitaßible for information. Would he not tell their lordships that the only passage upon the subject-was the 18th of Leviticus, where a ' man was desired not to take a wife to her sister to vex her •in her lifetime ? Attempts had been made to show that the words : used in the authorised version did not tru l y ex p ress the Words of the' original ; but almost alla i the mot eminent biblical authorities assured us that the translation of this passage in the authorised version of the Bible was most aeon rate and coereet, and that the Ofialdee, the Samaritan, and all the ancient versions gave the same sense as the ,authorisede version. 'There - Was nothing in the Bible to show that a man was not at liberty to"do the same act at other times and,•in otherplaces: There .was a Divine instruction-s" Ye shall `not add to the Word that I command 'you." It appeared to hith a perfectly unsound argument to say that; if ' marriage with a brothefe'veldow were prohibited, - Maniple - With a de ceaeed wife's sister ought - not to be allewed; or that it ought to overthrow the permission contained in the 18th of Leviti case Jereniy Taylor, in his Dueler Dubita:ntiunt, said But if any scrupulous person shall inquire 'farther, and suspect that some degrees or persons are forbidden - to marry that are notbere expressed, but included by a parity of rea son, as it happens in another instance, forit is not forbidden to marry our mother's - brother's' wife"; but because here it is made unlaWful to marry Our father's brother's wife it is to .be . ' concluded also for. the other, there' Wag the same degree and the same reaSon • • • - . • . " I answer to this by Parts. le It is very 'likely that it is so intended that in -equal eases there is an equal prohibition - but it cannet . ceitainly be eonclude,dand relied upon that it is so. la.l3ecause upon this account eases' of fear and scruple might very much be Multiplied to no purfae'o; fdr I remember that Fagius reckons out of the books of the - Itabbins 20 per sons forhidden to marry, which yet are not reckoned in Le viticus. - 2. 'Because of the rule of - the law. !C. Mutus, 43 'D. de pro Cur quod lege prohibitoria non vetitum est permis sum intelligitur.' In negative precepts that which is not fur-. biddenle presumed to be allowed. And to add more out of fear is either to be wiser than the lawgiVer, or to suspect 'him to be apt to quarrel by unknown measures and secret rules - of interpretation. 3. Because I find thatienicing *rise nations the same degree does not always admit the same prohibition." Then it was said that there was 'a degree . ofconsanguinity betwCen a manand his wife's sister. `On this subject Bishop Milner - said ' • " . • ' "It is- at this day. a groat question-among all men whethe r brother& ahidsi'sters' ellildreti or cousins Berman may lawfully' marry I -Whithquestion supposes not onlyc : that the Levitical degrees are still ththight obligatory, but even' all those other degrees which by a parity of reason can be' reduced to those measures." • • On the words " near of kin" Jereiny Taylor said:— " Our English is not sufficiently expressive.. of the full sense of it, The- Win is something nearer toe the Hebrew. Vir .non accedat ad prophmaitatem carnis sum.' God never forbade to marry our kindred, but he forbade to marry the nearness of our flesh. nemingius gives a rale for this as near as_can be drawn from the words and the thing, Pro= pinquitas. carnisS,sitith he, gum me - sine lutervallo attingit.' That is, ` She that is next to me, none intervening between the stock and me.' That is, the propinquity or, nearness of my. flesh ; above me is my mother, below is my daughter, on the side is my sister—that is. all. e fl() " In negative precepts that.wbich.is not forbidden is pre sumed to be allowed. . ma. • '. Unless God - had intended these a.perfeet. enumeration :of all the persons forbidden to contract ma rriages mutually, it cannot be imagined why He should lie pleased to repeat Some degrees twice, which are equally forbidden in the several in stances ; for if the parity of cognation were to be the mea finre, then . those degrees which are twiee - repeatodznight with out such repetition have been better reduced to the rule under which they were sufficiently prohibited. " The same degree does not_ always admit the same Prohi bition ; to marry my father's sister was forbidden, but it was not forbiddeu to marry my brother's daughter." A right rev, prelate who had made a speech on this subject . which had been published in a pamphlet, had fallen into an unintentional error in.n quotation from Jeremy Taylor, which he had uo doubt he would correct in any future edition. 'We could laive nobetter definition of the: words " nearness of on.. which the opPOnents of this measure relied, than' that given by God himself, which gave no sanction to the existing prohibition. The words "in her lifetime," in Levi ticus, clearly spoke for themselves, for the injunction to a man not to a certain thing at a :particular time and place must be taken to imply a liberty. to do it at a different time and place. - No argument drawn from analogy could Over eonie-that plain and unmistakeable inference., Nobody pre . tended that our Lord or any of his Apostles had eapressed any disapproval of these marriages ; and the absence of any condemnation of them on the part 'of St. Paul was especially significant, inasmuch as that inspired writer treated - very copiously of - the subject of marriage. The case of the elicit connexion between Herod and Herodias,' which elicited the remarkable reproof of Jelin the Baptist, was sometimes referred. to in arguiag this ques tion ; but, when impartially examined, it would be found to. fdrnish no ground for adherence to the present. restriction. Jesephue on this subject said—" After whose death" (that of; Salome) " Herodias took upon her to confound the laws of our Zountry,read divorced herself fromber husband while lie -was alive, and was married to Herod (Autipas), her husband's brother by the father's side; lie was Tetrarch of Galilee." 7To.this a notele appended by Whiston, via.—" Nor was it; as I egree with Grotius and others of the learned, Herod the Tetrarch, - but•this Herod-Philip, whose wife _Herod the Te trarch. had married,., and that in her husband's lifetime, and when her first husband had issue by her, for which idelter ous and 'incestuous marriage John the Baptist justly reprov, d Herod the Tetrarch." Origen, in his Commentary on St. Matthew, chapter xiv., verse 4, also says:--`` Philip was, indeed, the Tetrarch of Iturf.ea and of the region of Tea. chonitis. Some think, therefore, that after Philip had died,. 'and hid , left a datighter, Herod married Herodias, tha,wife of his brother, his law permitting marriage when 'Children did not survive. Since, however, it is not by any means clear tons that Philip had died, we think that Herod's transgression of the law was yet greater, that he seduced the wife of his brother while living." In the 'Annala of Bare: ntius; vol. 1, page 80, it is stated—" We must not omit to say that that passage of the Evangelists concerniug Herod, .that he married his brother's wife, was perverted by the Mon tauists, who, in order to found the heresy concerning mono • ganif, that it was not lawful for a widow to marry again, and that they might be able to prove this from the Gospel, added, as they incorrectly read, that Herod married the wife of his deceased brother, as Tcrtullian (ad Marc. 1, 4, chap. 34), who hold the same opinion with them, read. But he wrote these things when lie was writing against Marcion, who treated the Gospel with contempt ; when, however, he wrote against the Catholics, whom he calls Payellichi, in his book Be Menogainid, he abstains from any false citation of that kind." A note appended alleged Tertullian to have become a Montauist. Noldius De Vita et testis Herod= says This woman, Herodias (the daughterhot of Aretas, King of the Arabians, as Jerome pretends, in Matthew 14, but of Aristobulus),Herod the Tetrarch having seen at the house of his ,brother Herod, when he turned aside to visit him on his way to Rome, made his wife, contrary to the laws, having taken her away froth her lawful husband, who was yet alive, though Augustine in *vain denies this." In the Chronicon Pascholeit is stated :—" And Josepinis relates that it was on account of Herodias, the .wife of Philip, Herod's brother, that St. John wns beheaded, For Herod had put away his yet sur viving wife, to whom he had been lawfully married; she: being the daughter of Aretas, Kinglof the Arabians; and had, more over, separated Herodias from her husband while ho was yet living, having - also on her account put John to 'death." Sdl - " De Jure Naturali" argued that, if we understood Jose plus aright, we should find the case did not come under Leviticus xviii., 16, but was simply a ease of adultery : Atquai ita sane ad legem illam de fratria leviro ducencla res a ttinere nequibat, sed adillam qua aliens uxor cuique inter dicitur.". The noble lord, contended that the testimony of those authorities, fairly construed, ought to satisfy their lord ships, and even the right rev. prolate to whom he had before -alluded, that tho-case of Herod and Herodias was whollydrre levant to the discuision. Under the Mosaic law it was enjoined that, when a man died without issue his brother should marry the widow. Marriage with a deceased wife's sister was au ana logous alliance, and might be sanctioned by a parity of reason ing. If the marriage with a deceased wife's sister were immo ral; that with a deceased brother's wife could scarcely be ex empted from censure ; yet the latter conduct had the express authority of Scripture. It was not to be imagined that the - Almighty Would have given his approval to a practice which could under any possible cpmbinatiou of circumstances operate to the injury of morals. Some right rev. prelates hail asserted that the clergy were prohibited from celebrating such mar riages as the present bill was intended to legalise ; but it eves worthy of observation that there was no instance on record of a clergyman being punished for doin g so. The clergy of some of the most populous parishes in a petition presented to their lordships hOuse; stated that this prohibition was productive of unhappiness, and in some cases of immorality, and they therefore prayed for its removal. The act of tho noble and learned lord not now present (Lord Lyndhurst) had placed their lordships in a dilemma. A number of- those marriages had been contracted, although the ecclesiastical law declared • them incestuous, and the noble and learned lord's bill, which was passed without a dissentient voice, declared them legal. [The Bishop of Exoter---" No, no The right rev. pre late dissented from this, because he had some crotchet that. the ecclesiastical courts had still the power of punishing these persons. He had no hesitation in saying, on the autho rity of Sir W. Follett, that had the • ecclesiastical cottrtie: meddled with them the courts of law would have interposed ; and even' had the courts of law remained quiet, Parliament would have stepped in to prevent any such exercise of eccle siastical power. Muck bad been said lately with regard to the law of Scotland ou this point. A remarkable judgment had lately been pronounced by one of the Lords of Session with regard to this subject. The Lord Ordinary had said : " Marriage,' says St. Paul, • is honourable in all,' and against every restriction by mere human authority on the . liberty of marriage the Protestant authority stands recorded. -Accordingly, the Scottish law of restraint on marriage is • avowedly founded on the Divine prohibitions. The doctrine of -the 'reformed churches is, that marriage shall be as free as the law of God has left it ; and the Divine law as contained in the 18th chapter of Leviticus is imported into the Scottish statute -. of 1567, chap. 14, and is referred to in the next statute the 1567, chap. 15. All connexions expressly prohibited by. t b Divine law in this 18th chapter of Leviticus are d e ' 1 a e r s - ( tu i o the statute law of Scotland (1567, chap. 14) to be and punishable with death. To find the exprcalsswir;:inv,liitibisitico._ no against marriage with the sister of a , p a ar na ticu its cessary only to examine the Scripturel:eic i nd ra tic o us re , larly to construe the 18th chapter of the connexion is not there is no express prohibition i nc estuous. There has been n such settled series of decisions, no such solemn deliverance, a nd no i settled judicial practice as to amount to a n authoritative construction of the statute, a nd relieve the Co urt from the necessity of construing it hy_ the canon of the 18th chapter of Leviticus. Then, the de-' claration iu the " Confession of Faith, and the Parliamen- Y s • tar ratifica ti o n of that confession, though binding on the Prebyterion Church, and though, perhaps, binding on the. state of a Presbyterian country to civil effects, is not binding as a legislative construction of the prohibition of the Divine • law to the effect of creating a capital crime. The question, What says the statuter - throws us back on the other ques 4.ione s What is expressly prohibited'• in the 18th chapter of .Leviticus ? Nothing less than an express prohibition can be s ufficient; 'lf there is no express prohibition, it is not within the statute. On this point the Lord Ordinary would wil lingly defer to the authority of the Confession of Faith,' but in this Protestant country, which refuses to be ecclesiastical authority the right to create or declare a crime, it is impoi sible to escape from the responsibility . of forming and inde pendent 'opinion. With great diffidence, therefore, and with unfeigned respect for the many learned and excellent persons who have arrived at an opposite conclusion, the Lord Ordi nary ventures to express his opinion that there is in the Di vine law, and More especially in the 18th chapter of Leviti cus, no such express prohibition' of this marriage as to make it incestuous under the statute." These marriages were permitted in every country of Europe; even in Russia, in some cases. In France, which was a Ro man Catholic country—not recognising, however, the Council of Trent—and where marriage was .a civil contract, permis sion to celebrate them was . granted as a matter of course by the Minister of Justice. He would now refer to a country more resembling England in language and laws—the United States of America. There it was not only the opinion of the heads of the law, among whom were Chancellor Kent and Mr. Jus tice Story, but also of the bishops of the Episcopal Church, that these marriages were neither inconsistent with Scripture nor with the well-being of society, and that they were lawful marriages, and the best which under some peculiar cireum stanees,could be -contracted. The Americans wero_not an irreligious or an -immoral people ; . and- _would their lo,rdships pretend to set vain apprehensions against their practical ex.. perignee ? 011 what ground, therefore, would the house be : justified 'in refusing to agree to the - present bill Be. might be told that th ere wa s so mething_ peculiar in the - position of - ; but Would not the.ame observation apply to any other female friend of the husband ?.

It was said: by. by some tleat :it was not worth while to • legislate for so small a number of persons, but he assured their lordshipsthat the _number was not so small ; but in the exist ing state of the law many persons ,were reluctant : to make . , known that they had contracted these-euarriageal and keY,Or ral of ,these marriages likewise: were. centracted.by,perSous in humble cirennastauees,;and :were -not, therefore, -easily as.cOr• Labial le.

He bail no personal interest in the ques tion.; he had no friend_who was interested in it ; and when his right hon. friend the . Recorder of London, a few years ago, asked him to take charge of the bill which passed through the other house, he had declined,• Bat since that time, hay ing.given greater consideration Ito the subject, ho had seen the necessity of a revision of the present' law, and had-con sented to take change of this measure.. • The - noble earl eon eluded by moving that the bill be read a second time. The Bishop of OXFORD would endeavour to prevail upon the heuse to-vote by a large-majority thatthe.bill Of his - noble friend should not get a second reading then ; but that it should be read a second time that day six months. Feeling as he did that they were bound to maintain those great safe iiiards todoioestic purity which had been. handed-to them -by those who had goae before them, and which they in turn Ought to transmit ',to those who should come after them— (hear, and cheers)o-in his opinion, a preliminary objection to the bill of his noble friend_ was, that it either went too far Or did not go far. enough, and that, if passed, its effect Would be to put the law in opposition , tboitself.:: the Act of IJniforiuitY the Legislature took itp' the Rubric of the Established Church, - and Ecclesiastical statutes were still held bindhig - by the courts,; therpeiginal attempt to deal with the_ matter now -before the house, it was pro , pos2d to make the olergy,of the Established Church do what the - ecedesiastitod -law rendered itimpossibleier.them,to. namely, perform :kith nowriages. when applied to, just as they would any marriage' Which - was cow permitted by law. However,.tt tol-been found imposSible to maintain such a propesition ao : _that.in the face of ParliamODt, laegimo:ou the one hand- tiro' , tltOgyman would have_ beeistouldested to penalties if ho performed ~a nch -a warxinge:;: and on the other, he would be subjected-to penalties if ho refused. (Hear, Then•foliowed the_Anstatesinau-liko proposi thin of his.noble Mold to leave it optional .witit the clergy man whether he would perform the marriage. The absurdity of such legislatiou as that had been exposed to their lord ships. (Hear, ..hear.).. :By the bill noWlk.fexe::‘, the house his noble friend proposed to lease the clergy of the Established Church of England and the clergy ssf the Established Church of :Seotland under the ecclesiastical law to which they were now subject. Now, the ecclesiastical law declared that those unions which the noble earl sought to legalise were contrary to the law of God -it declared that they were net „marriages at all ; it declared that they were incestuous concubinage. (Hear, beao He was not at present . saying whether that was a right or a wrong view ; but he was recording that which was the present view of the Established Church of Engl.tnii. Ho believed it was the view of, the Established Church of Scotland also ; but beyond all doubt the Established Church of England declared that those particular unions were contrary to the law of God—(hear, hear)-and the service of the Church of England declared that any union wliath was contrary to the law of God was no union whatever. • His noble friend would not dispute that in the ecclesiastical courts of thiii country. there would be no difference, of opinion on that matter ; nor. wouldthe noble earl maintain that the: children of such a marriage would be legitimate. (Hear,, hear.) . .- Yet - what did his noble friend propose to do ? He would have re course to a new Statute, declaring these marriages lawful, but he would leave:those statutes, which enforced the ecclesiastical law unrepealed, and, consequently, leave the clergy unshel tered from the consequences of - all the ecclesiastical laws— canons, rubric, and serviee—which -declared those marriages to be contrary to . the law of Go and to be incestuous coneu binage. (Hear.) - How was the Church to treat the clergy who would perform, .theta marriages I Was it to treat them as living in unity with the Church ? Was it to administer to them the different rites of the Church I Again, in a suit for the restoration of conjugal rights, :would the ecclesiastical court recoLnise such a marriage ? (Hear.) The clergyman celebrating olio of these marriages wattid,..under a law which his noble friend proposed to leave unrepealed, be subject to the severest censures of the Church ; but if this bill passed a clergyman could himself go before a civil magistrate and contract such a marriage without being liable to any penalty whatever. -(Hear.) Were their, lordships prepared to put the clergy in such a false position I Such a bill at best would put the - clergy under one legislative regulation and the laity under another. . (Hear) On this ground alone he would ask their lordships to throw out the - bill by a large majority. (Cheers.), As regareled the Scriptural vestion, _he thought his noble friend had been rather inconsistent; for he had first urge' that the Levitical law was not binding oa Chris tians at all, and then proceeded to show that those mar riages were not forbidden by the Levitical law. (Hear.) He . .(the Bishop of Oxford) was quite ready, tn adinit,.*o'far. the Levitical law was a municipal or ceremonial law it was bind ing only oa the people for whom it wasmade s -the Jews; but that was the only sense in which he could admit that the Levitical law was not binding on us- as Christians. Where ever it was capable. of proof that • the law spoken by God to the. Jews was not a municipal or ceremonial law, but au exposition of God's. will for man, there that 'exposition of •Iliawill for man was just as binding on us as it was on She JewiS4 people. Now, he would direct the attention of the house to words in the 18th chapter of Deviticas—the chapter so often referred to—which were words of awful caution to the children of Israel, and referred to crimes which bad been committed by those who had inhabited the land in which they (the Israelites) then were before they had been put in possession of it. The words were, " All these abominations have the men of the land done who were before you, and the laud is defiled." Now, the caution given in the chapter to which ho referred had no applbattion till it was connected with the.people:who had been in the land before the Jews; while if the caution were - merely municipal, it could have no application to those former inhabitants. Those acts, r evealed law, wete when done by a people not ha vi ng any said to defile the land, and he believed they would betorch. ing one of the great rules which God had laid down for his creatures, and not as a-mere munieipal law for the guidance of cfaietnitat ;r re h a e t a o u ri th eb ur ta it l y sc o h f o S la ir r the.

But he (the Bishop of Oxford) would appeal to.the consistent-judgment of the Church of Christ in all its purest- ages. His noble friend had said that they ought not to use the principle of analogy. But unless they adopted that principle they could not say that a father should not mea7y. his owu daughter. The chapter in Levitieus contained no prohibition against an uncle marrying his own niece in blood. The • nit'taken .pio ions were all from the side of the man. There was a prohibition against the son marrying his Mother, and conversely a mother was prohibited from marrying her son. The nephew-might not marry his aunt, and conversely the aunt ought not to marry her nephew. It was the same with respect to the particular relationship included in the noble earl's measure. So far as the letter of the New Testament went, there were two pas sages which bore on the subject. There was- first, that re lating to Herod's marrying hiebrother's wife. She had left her husband in his life-time, but there was no proof to show that he was living when she married his brother. The other in stance was that mentioned in the first of the Corinthians, where a man was ordered by the apostle to be cast out be cause he had married his father's wife. That was a case of affinity, not of consa.uguinity. It might be that the father was alive at the time, but where was the proof ? He, on the other hand, found that there was a strong probability that the father was not alive at the time. It would seem that the . Christians at that early period were puffed up by having, as they conCeived, the liberty of breaking through the Mosaic c law, and the apostle said that they mu st not glory in an lin.. TH a .. t tlie p v ‘is ed sa t g h e a s t i th e t correct r N r e e c w t minify which was their shame. conclusion to be drawn, from those Testament was:, that ; these marriages were .equally forbidden . between parties connected by * Minty as well as by consan guinity. it was distasteful to him to argso the question on • particular, texts of Scripture, as if they furnished the Chris tian man's sole rule of conduct. Ilebelieved that the instructed eye, looking at God's dea lin g s with his ancient p eo p le, would . see ' that the Jews had been raised from a horde of slaVes to the dignity of freemen by subjecting them to certain restrictions. If those restrictions could be traced up tO the spirit of God's law; that to be repr.ded as choice and signal blessins. He said God laid restrained his ancient people from prac tices which they had been accustomed to witness in Egypt and amongst the heathen people around them. Those re strictions had been the means of raising them to a higher state of civilisation; 'and he said that the Church of Christ in all interpreted the will of God in th i s res p ect . Loo ki n g b ga n t d truly themysterious attractions which existed between the two sexes, the law of God, from the very beginning of Our race, had added restraints upon the licence of union.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. Petitions against the Marriages Bill were presented by Lord REDESDALR and the Marquis of BREADALBANE. The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition in favour of the bill. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Hall fax,.complaining of the grievances under which women labour_ by the : existing state otthe Marriage law. • Lord OVERSTONE presented P. petition' from The metropolis ' signed by upwards of 300 clergymen of the Church of England, in favour of the legalisation of the marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and also several other petitions, most numerously signed, with a similar prayer. The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition from_ Hampshire against marriage .with a deceased , wife's sis ter, Some of the petitioners were of the labouring dais, and they stated the meastrre wa - s uncalled for. The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented petitions of a totally opposite character—one was signed by upwards 0f1.7,000 persons, and the others were also numerously signed—in favour of the legalisation of marriage with a deceased wife'e sister. TRANSPORTATION. .• The Earl of STANHOPE said he bad received a state• meet from the Government which induced him to post pone the appointment of a select committee on the subject of secondary punishment, of which be bad given notice. The Marquis of. LANSDOWNE could _assure the noble earl and their lordships generally that her Ma jesty's Government had this subject under. their consi deration, and that it was their intention _to institute . such an inquiry as he thought would be considered satisfactory to all - parties, with a, view.. to the placing the law with respect to secondary punish ments upon a more effectual footing than it appeared at - present. The noble marquis concluded. by moving for a return in reference to the number of convicts who had been committed to prison within a certain period, the'sentence passed-Upon - them, and the number that had been granted tickets of- leave. Earl GREY said that if there w as to 'be any inquiry at all before legislation was attempted, it ought •to be gone into with the least possible delay. They were now . very near Whitsuntide,. and if it was intended to coma• der the subject this session, no further delay ought to be allowed to take place. Lord DUNGANNON said he trasted that the pre sent session would not be allowed to pass away without something being done on this subject. It had been iina• gined that a person .who bad had a ticket•of-leave granted his ha 4 a certificate of g god character, but, on the contrary; it appeared rather to be a stigma than anything else. The subject then dropped. THE NAVAL REVIEW. • • Earl GRANVILLE said that since yesterday he had made inquiries into the causes of the mistakes of Wednesday, atici he had now to state to their lordshiPs What were the instruc tions given by the Admiralty for the safe conveyance of the two Houses of Parliament to and, from the naval review. Some time ago arrangements were madl with the South- Western Railway to carry their lordships down to Southamp ton, and at the beginning of this week Capt. Milne had had an interview with the traffic manager to ascertain from him whether it was perfectly certain that the company could un dertake under:the pressure to which: it was likely they would be subjected to convoy their lordships without chance of a failure. The answer he received was, that the company had made such arrangements that it was absolutely certain that ' both the peers and the meub3rs of the other house would arrive at Southanipton at a quarter past 9 o'clock. The Ad miral sent a communication to the municipal authorities of Southampton, requesting them to take every precaution to keep a clear passage from the railway station to the place of embarkation, and they also wrote to the packet agent —a per son of great experience—desiring him to do everything in his Power to facilitate the embarkation of the two houses. Or ders were also given to appropriate the Harbinger and the Pasha of Egypt yacht 1113 tenders to convey the two houses ou board their respective vessels, and the packet agent was directed to hire two additional tenders. ' He wrote back to say that it was perfectly impossible for him- to hire ant ves sels, and two other steamers were then sent round for the service. With regard to the selection of the Transit she was thought to be a very fine vessel, and having a large maindeek she afforded accommodation for a large number of persons to breakfast together, with the additional advantage of being miler cover in case of rough weather coming on. Inquiries had been made beforehand as to the state of her MigineS, and the answer was that they were in good order, with the excep tion of a slight defect in the air pumps, the,only e ffe ct of which would be to reduce her speed from 11 to 10 knots an hOur. The officer selected to command was a gentleman of con. siderable experience, and their lordships had all been wit nesses of his great courtesy,. (Hear, hear.) llis instructions were to he ready to receive the company at 9 o'clock, and having taken them on board he was to steam down the two lines, to wait for her Majesty, and on her arrival to take up her station as near the Royal yacht as posalble. In case of ally unforeseendelay he was to keep outside for 'fear of coming into collision. ith any of the gun.baats. What better in structions, even judging after the event, could hails been given them there, ho could not see. The Admiralty had since made inquiries as to the state of the Transit's engines, and it was found that the only cause of their failure was that the steam had got low in consequence of the fires having been let down. They had ordered a strict and searching inquiry to be made as to who was to Mama for this omission, and whoever he was he would be punished. The whole thing arose from the unfortunate breakdown on the South-Western Railway—an event not so very extraordinary after all, con sidering that the company.had undertaken to carry so large a number of persons beyond their usual traffic. The accumu lation of trains on the line was so great that between 700 and 800 persons arrived at the point of embarkation at Southamp ton at the very moment when the two houses were expected.. At the first the packet agent declined to ship them because ' he wished to keep the tenders for the use Of the houses, but he' Was perfectly unable to resist the entreaties and remon strances of 700 to 800 gentlemen and ladies, all crowding and squeezing together in the dust and heat. He- thought it better to use the tenders to get them out of the way, and that was the reason why they were not forthcoming when their lordships arrived. ' With regard to the personal charge made against him, he was afraid he should not be able to make so satisfactory an answer. He had reflected deeply on the subject since, and he could not think of -any excuse for the pusillanimity which he had displayed. (Laughter.) .He Could not accept the compliment which the noble earl oppo site had paid him for acuteness and sagacity, for he had so completely lost his presence of mind that he had only carried off with him one neutral peer and four noble lords of her Majesty's Opposition. (Laughter.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to know who was to answer for what was done and what was left . undone by tho railway company. He was afraid that Parliament a 4 pre sent had no power to punish the offenders, but he hoped that no long time would elapse before a bill would be brought in, giving Parliament and the country supreme power over these railway companies. Lord RAVENSWORTH was willing to accept the noble earl's apology with respect to the arrangements, or rather the, di sarrang ements of the early part of the da y; but the noble earl had given no explanation of the main grievance—namely, the seven hours occupied by the Transit in her passage from the place where she had taken up her position back to South ampton. Earl GRANVILLE said he imagined that his , statement that the fire had gone out was a sufficient explanation of the absence of motive power. (A. laugh.) The Earl of GALLOWAY complained that • the railway company had not taken the most ordinary precautions for the accommodation of their lordships. The subject then dropped. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The Earl of St..GERMANS rose to move the second read. ing of this bill, and said that although their lordships had in 1851 refused to affirm the principle of one of a similar nature, he thought he was. justified, after the lapse of five years, in - asking them to reconsider that principle. In 1842 the other house had refused to allow a noble friend of 'his to bring in a bill on this subject, but since that time they had allowed such bills to be intrruced. The Archbishop of Dublin had truly observed that every restriction was an evil, and that the bur den of proving its necessity must fall on its advocates. He might therefore fairly call upon the opponents of this measure to show that the legalisation of marriage with a deceased wife's sister would be inconsistent with the wellbeing of the country; but as the question had frequently been discussed he might assume that nothing new could be said upon it, and he would answer by anticipation some of the arguments against the measure. Several able men held that the mar riage law of the Jews was not binding upon Christians. That was the opinion of Bishop Taylor, who said— " For though Christendom was then at the time of the divorce of ,Queen Catherine by Henry VIII., much divided, yet before there was almost aleneral consent upon this propo sition, that the Levitical .degrees do not by any law of God bind Christians to . their observation. I know of but one schoolraan (Paludanus) , who dissents. By all which it appears what was the state of these marriages under the law of Moses; and yet all the scruple at which weak persons start or stum ble is derived from that sanction in Leviticus which, in de spite of all reason and all precedents, and all observations whatsoever, .they will needs suppose to be a naturaLand moral laiv, so making 11 Commandments, - for' certain it is that the Ten Couimandments were to the Jews the sum of their moral law; in which, since tome things that were ceremonial were inserted, it is not likely that anything that was moral should be omitted. In the 10 words of Moses there was nothing less than their whole moral law though something more there was." Chief Justice Vaughan took the same view : " The Levitical prohibitions are no general law, but part cular to the Israelites. As they were delivered to the Jews only by Moses, they bind other nations no more than other laws of the Jews do, as the laws of succession, and inheriting land or goods.- They then must be made obligative, if at all, to the generality of Christians by t he New Testament; but by what medium can that be proved? Ware it not for the sta tutes, it would be hard to make out by persons of what learn ing soevet that we are obliged by the Levitical degrees, for we are not bound by the Judaical law, and how comes this part to be distinguished from the rest f I mean those of the' 'Levitical degrees, which are of the Judaical positive law only." A more modern authority , Archbisho p Whately, in speaking_ - of the opinion of another eminent prelate, also said : "I am certain that ho (Bishop Copleston) in common with the very persons wh o have a pp ealed to w hat they call 'the Divine law' in this matter, never considered the cere monial or the civil regulations of the Levitical code t as bin b d ing on us. No one c onsiders himself bound by tha to a stain from the forbidden meats, or from selling land in per petuity, or to require any one to marry his brother's widow. Nay, eves what are called moral duties no Christian Legis lature has felt bound in all cases to enforce by its own laws diso b e di en ce to parents, for instance, and gluttony and. drunkenness no one would deny to be moral offences, and yet no Legislature denounces against theo them the penalty of death. Th e whole, therefore , of the appeal t Mosaic law is ma nifestly irrelevant, even on the showing of the very persons who have got up this topic of declamation for the purpose apparently of diverting attention from the real points at issue The civil and the ceremonial ordinances of that law can thus far, and only thus far, be taken as a guide, namely, that any thing which is not merely permitted, but distinctly enjoined in the law, cannot be at variance with the immutable princi ples of morality." . - bfany lcfruecl men, Sir . Willikin Jones and others, held that ~ SPOLTING NOTES• A PRELUDE. The week just brought to a dose has been fraught with many changes. New favouiltes for different races have been introduced into the betting, while old ones have been knocked out of-the market. Fazzoletto has taken the place-of Fly-by-Night in the list of quotations for the Two Thousand. He has been tried with Hobby Horse, Bracken, and others ; and although somewhat backward in his preparation, yet "he did all that was asked of him" so easily that hopes are still entertained that the Two Thousand, at least, will be carried to Mal ton. Yellow Jack " oscillates," most perplexingly be tween 7 to 4, and 3 to I. He has been hotly " peppered" during the past week, and the hostility of his opponents is attributed to the unsa'isfactory nature 'of the trial which it is asserted he had with Omer Pacha. Bird-in-Hand is quiet. If the ground be soft he may .be seen to advantage. Despite, however, the powerful opposition which is grayed against Yel low Jack, I must confess that I am in expectation of seeing "Bilious John all right again." The defeat of Ellington by Fisherman created a sen eatiln, and has cleared the way for the advance of cer tain animals from the outside division in the Derby bet ting. Cannobie has recently been located at Cawston, where he has undergone a course of physic. He is, how ever, nave all right again, and is doing good work. Wentworth has been backed during the week with con siderable spirit and determination. He is entered for the Newmarket Stakes next week, but it is doubtful whether curiosity will lee gratified by his fulfilling his engage ment. The prospect of a busy and important meeting. next week is most cheating. I shall despatch my advises from Head-quarters for publication on bionda,y, when I will communicate to the reader any little bit of information I may be enabled to pick up. As the R. M. Plate will be decided before my notes are placed before the reader on that day,l will express mY present fancy\ fer Kali. pyge and Omer Pacha. A .FRESIII MAN. PROGRESS OF THE COTTON MANUFACTURES (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The magnitude of the cotton manufacture is apparent from the fact, that the real value of last year's importa tions of raw cotton amounted to nearly twenty-one millions sterling. So rapid has been the increase of this great branch of our manufactures that the raw cotton imported into the United Kingdom has almost doubled in quantity doling the last fifteen years. Within that period the cotton manufacture has been careering onward at a pace which has outstripped the most sanguine ex pectations. Manchester, the principal seat of the cotton trade, has rapidly advanced, from the enterprise and suceesa which have accompanied it, in arts, science, and all kinds of useful learning, until it has taken high rank among the most distinguished cities of the world ; and, at the present time, its numerous suburban villages and towns continuo to-stretch out towards the central seat of trade and opulence, so that it will not be extra vagant to, expect that Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing towns will, at no far distant day, become one mighty city of manufactures and coonnerce. Tiie total quantities of raw cotton imported into the United Kingdom, from the United States, the Brazils, the Mediterranean, the British possessions in the East Indies, and British Guiana, and other countries, amounted in 1841 to 487,992,355 1 b5. ; whilst in 1855 the imposts reached tha large quantity of 891,752,002 lbs. To show the relative quantities of cotton wool contributed for the use of our spindles, and the support of tens of thousands of our industrious population in the manufacturing districts, we subjoin a statement of imports for. the past year : From the United States, 681,629,424 lbs. ; from the 8razi1R,24,577,9521ini.; theMediterranean,32,9o4,ls3lbs; British possessions in the East Indies, 145,179,216 lbs.; British West Indies and British Guiana, 468,452 lbs. ; from other countries, 6,992,805 lbs. Our exports of cotton manufactured goods have in creased, as the prosperity of the manufacturing districts show in an equally gratifying degree. In 1841 the th• Glared value of cotton manufactures of all kinds exported from the United Kingdom was 16,252,510 1 . ; of cotton yarns, 7,266,968/ .Iu 1855 the declared value of cotton manufactures of all kinds was 27,581,2781., showing an increase in value of about 11,000,0001. The return as to cotton yarns shows a slight decrease as compared with figures indicate the vast amount of ma chinery at wortc in the cotton districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, and the great importance to the empire of our cotton manufactures.
