"I speak adv:sedly when I say that I come here prepared toloffer my opinion that theologically it is correct that such marriages should take place, and I see no ground whatsoever •on account of which such marriages may not be legalised." — :Evidence of Rev. J. Hatchard, Vicar of St. Andrew, Ply mouth. " I think it a great evil to insist unon a rule in which no sacred principle is involved, and which is found to be at vari ance with the feelings of large.) lasses of the community."— Rev. Mr: Stainforth. " The three points upon which the petition was especially grounded were these first, that such marria7,e was not for bidden by the Word of God; second, that there was no con sangu nity or blood-relationship existing between the parties; and third, that such a marriage was wholly unobjectionable on moral considerations."—Speech of Rev. J. B. Owen, St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row. " I believe such marriages as you wish to make lawful are already lawful, according to the letter and spirit of Holy Scripture ; and I hope the civil and ecele,iastical law will speedllY be made conformable to the Divine."—Rev. F Close, Incumbent of Cheltenham. My opinion of the law has long been, that it is impolitic restric ion ."—Archdeacon of Derby. ." It appears to me, therefore that first, as Scripture shows tbat ,there nothing immoral in stch a connexion, and secondly, as it is that much - evil would bo prevented -many poor children saved - from mitery and ruin, by having •that•perstn , Over themigho, in a majority of instances, would , •be file next best_subs,litnte for a mother—my own mind is led to believe that the law of man ought to fa117,416 ,- .11. with tho law of God."—Rev. Canon Chompneys. " Has never bad occasion to observe, either in the middling or poorer classes, any injury or immorality arising from such marriages • never admonished any of those parties that they were acting in breach of the Divine law, because never be lieved it. The great inducement to these marriages is, that the parties have a better opportunity than is generally afforded of being acquainted with each other's real character and disposition."—Evidence of Rev. J. F. Denham, M.A., F.R.S., Rector of St. Mary-le-Strand. " Most heartily do - I wish you success. I cannot believe, as has been sometimes said, that it is unscriptural that a man should marry his wife's sister. The law of man has made it i sin ; but) ou cannot make the poor man believe that the law of God does."—Rev. Mr. Drummond. _ " In verse 18, the prohibition is only against marrying the wife's sister during the lifetime of the first wife, which of itself implies the liberty to marry her sister after her death." — Rev. Dr. Chalmers. " Is the marriage of a widower with his wife's sister within the prohibited degrees ?" In all frankness and honesty lam obliged to auswer—No. It is interdicted neither by express veto nor yc-t by implication. Canonical austerity is not to be identified with moral purity or matrimonial fidelity."— Rev. Dr. Eadie, Glasgow. " Without pursuing the subject further, I shall give it as my opinion that the marriage in question is not against either nature or the law of God."--Rev. Thomas Blaney. " That the enactments of the Levitical law are entirely misinterpreted, when applied in condemnation of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, was the decided judgment of Mr. Wesley, the founder of our Societies ; and I believe that similar views have since ben 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, formerly President of the Wesleyan Conference. The prohibitions of such marriages, is, in my judgment, eanetioned neither by Scripture, nor by phySiology, nor by expo liency."—Rev. H. Renton, Kelso, Scotland. ' There was no prohibition of the wife's sister, except during the lifetime of the wife."—Rev. Professor Robinson, New York. " It is much to be wished that the wisdom of tho Legisla ture would interpose for the satisfaction of the subject, and that the bishops, of whose liberal sentiments up n the matter I have no doubt, would promote a measure, which - as it will contribute to the happiness and security of many individualS, so will not fail to reflect an honour on the Church as well as the State."—Rev. Dr. Stennett, 1775. " Are marriages of this description considered in Germany to be at all contra bonos mores ?" " Not at all. So far from being considered contra bones mores, the feeling of the peo ple oC Germany is undoubtedly in favour of such iurriages." . . . "It frequently hoppers that a widower marries his de ceased wife's sister out of a pious and affectionate feeling for his departed wife ; and the feelings of the women of Ger many are so strong in favour of such marriages, that it often occurs that the last parting request by a wife ou her death bed to her husband is to marry her sister in case ho should feel inclined to marry agaiu. This arises partly from affec tion for her surviving husband and relations, that he may not become estranged from her connexions, and partly from affection to her sister, and very frequently where there are young children, for their sake." . . " Are you are aware of any evil consequences from the •eelebration• of marriages of this description?"- .." None whatever. I:have spoken with several of my friends, and I have written to some sithers„,asising them whether they are aware that this power of dispensation is the cause of any mortalityin - families, and their answer is, None whatever.' lam not at all aware of any."—Evidence of A. Bach, Esq. " 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 inconvenience that might have been found in such marriages, or to conceive of any moral turpitude in them."—Dr. Benja min Franklin. " Within tho meaning of Leviticus, and the constant prac tice of the commonwealth by the Jews, a man was prohibited not to marry his wife's sister, only during her life; after he might - so the text is. This perhaps is a knot not easily untied, how the Levitical degrees are God's law in this kingdom, but not as they were in the commonweath of Israel, when first given."—Chief Justice Vaughan. " In the Indies—if a husband has lost his wife, he does not fail to marry her sister ; and this is extremely natural, for his new consort becomes the mother of her sister's children, and not a cruel stepmother."- Montesquieu. " Nothing is more common in almost all the states of America than second marriages of this scrt ; 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. " The very strongest reason for engaging in a second mar riage contract is, frequently, to provide a suitable female head for a family of small children. In such cases, who is so likely to exercise the requisite maternal care and affection as the sister of a deceased mother? To prohibit a marriage under such circumstances seems to me inhumau.—Hon. Judge Mason, U.S. " I believe all restrictions upsu 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. " 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, " 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 connexion is prohibited by the law of God." —Judge Living ston United States. "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, northe Rabbis, nor historical Juda ism, leave§ room for the least doubt." "In all the countries of civilised Europe, where the law of the land offers no im pediment, marriages of widowers with their deceased wives' sisters very frequently take place. From the experience which I myself have had during the 20 years that I held the Office of Chief Rabbi, in Oldenburg and Hanover, I can affirm that the marriages in question were frequent, and that they have almost invariably proved happy. Even here, in Eng land, prior do the passing of the Marriage Act of the sth and 6th Will. IV., such marriages frequently occurred."—Evi *deuce of DrAdler, the Chief Rabbi of the Jews in the British. Empire. " If the act has notoriously failed in its operation; if these marriages, though discountenanced by the Legislature, have become more numerous, not only among the lower classes, a large proportion of whom must ever remain ignorant of the existence of this and similar interference by law with freedom, but among the cultivated, the thoughtful, the conscientious, the exemplary ; if the stigma set by the law is not stamped by the public opinion ;if offenders aro as well received as before, and are even respected for acting on a just view of Scriptural texts, perverted by erroneous interpretation ; in . such case it will surely be more politic to make the law con sistent with reason, than to persevere in a fruitless endeavour to bend reason to arbitrary law, to vex and persecute where we cannot prevent to curse whom the Lord has list cursed, and defy whom He has not defied.'"—The late Lord Chief Justice Denman. " The petition from the city of London, in favour of s this marriage, was signed by a large number of pcnrs)% Deputy among others, by the Lord Mayor, the Govern?ritiy LT_ GOvernor of the Bank of England, and a constd enable s 9 private ber of tyre Directors of that establishmel bankers, by the Chamberlain of the city o b . y . 237 and 61 ph y labs merchants, 146 solicitors, 124 barristers, and he could say It was his good fortune to be acquaiuted.with a large number of the persons who signed this petition , from his knowledge of their characte the rs. that ir opinions were entitled to the grea test weight and attent—Speech of Lord Overstonc, 1851, " Ho declared, most c onscientiously, he could find no pro hibition of this marriage in the Holy Scriptures."—Speech of Right Hon. Stuart Wortley, M.P., Recorder of London. .‘ I shall endeavour to show that the marriages it is sought to legalise 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."—Speech of Earl St. Gernms. He was sincerely favourable to the object of the Mar riages Bill."—Speech of the Earl of Ellenborough. In 1835 a most important statute was passed by that House ruder somewhat peculiar circumstances, and he might also say i.f haste and want of due deliberation, materially 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 utterance that deprived it of its due authority."—Speech of Lord Francis Egerton (now Earl of Ellesmere), in the House of Commons, 18 i 2. " Those who call themselves the friends of civil and reli- gious liberty ought to support a measure that sought to get rid of one of the most serious interferences with social liberty that existed under the English laws."—Swech of Viscount Brackley. " Se lug that it was not against the law of God—seeing the great social evils which arose from the restriction, and believ ing that there was no comparison between the social advan tages and the social disadvantages arising from this cause, he should give the measure his cheerful assent."—Specch of Earl of Arundel and Surrey. -" Socially speaking, if a ease 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 L()N " T DON U4SDAA E v LIN r, -APRIL 29, 1866. tig 014 a 0 . • SUN .

The Lord Panmure, &c. Enclosure. lioad-Quatters, Camp, Crimea, April 15. Sir,—The sanitary condition of the army continues highly satisfactory, and there has been a decrease in both the mortality and numb , r of sick this week. Since the furious snow storm of the 3d instant the wea ther has been gradually getting milder, and now nothing conid be more delightful than it is. This favourable change in the weather has bsen marked by a decrease of chest affections, and a slight increase of febrile complaints, but none of them of any great severity, except in the Land Transport Corps, where typhoid fever still prevails, and four oat of the fatal cases of fever which occurred took place in the Land Transport Carps alone. Five were from fever ; Two from apoplexy, the direct effects of drunkenness; Five from affections of the lungs ; wo from chronic bowel complaints ; One, a sudden death, from the bursting an aneurism of the aorta ; and One from ;he results of an injury of the head received in a drunken brawl six weeks ago. So that only twelve out of the sixteen are fairly attri. butable to disease. The ratio of admissions to strength this week has been 1•S1 per cent. ; deaths, to strength, 0 . 02 ditto ; sick, to well, 3.87 ditto. Taking. the whole force, the admissions to strength in all the hospitals, both general and regimental, have only been ',•19 per cent. Deaths, to strength, 0.03 per cent. sick, to well, 5'34 ditto.—l have, &c., J. HALL, Inspector-General of. Hospitals. Gen. Sir Wm. J.

Colonel NORTH — He wished the h . baronet would inform the house whether the permission of the regime nts who usuall y paid the expenses of the colonels expenses of the regimental bands bad been obtained. Sir B. HALL said, he had made a en munication to the Horse Guards that the band s should play at stated hours in Kensington-gardens, which request n bad bee oo mplied with. He bad also been in co mmunication with the officers of the 2d Life Guards, an d a satisfactory ar rangement had been corns to with respect to payment of the so ldiers.

He intended to answer the letter of the gallant officer, thanking him for the offer, which it was his intention to accept. The only accommodation for the band in Kensington fWardens was the platform that was used on the days that ladies and gentlemen promenaded Rotten-row. The same was used on Sundays, but it was intended to erect a new one. With respect to the accommodation of the public, if he found that the prevent arrangements were not commensurate, be should propose that some tem porary building or tent should be erected. The re freshments that were sold were of the most wholesome description, and consisted of tea, coffee, ices, lemon ade, soda water, and other non-intoxicating drinks. amongst those present last Sunday, Many of the no, elity were observed, and the number of persons on that we-Rion amounted to 79 0000 persons.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. Sin,—The Committee of the Marriage Law Reform Association are desirous of again calling the attention of the British public to the following facts, opinions, and national testimonies, tending to prove the Scriptural lawfulness of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and the consequent desirableness of again affording legal validity to such marriages in England and Ireland, in accordance with the law and practice of other Christian countries.--I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, JOSEPH STANSBURY, M.A., Hon. Sec. 26, Parliament•street, April 25, 1856. OPINIONS. " But has it never occurred to you, my dear Wynn, that this law is an abominable relic of eccktsiasteal tyranny ? Of all second marriages, I have no hesitation in sayi,g that these Aro the most suitable, and likely to be the most frequent, if 'tie law did not sometimes prevent them. It is quite mon. st. roue, jniges and lawyers speaking as they have done 01 late upon the subject."—Robert Southey. " All and every such marriage within this Church of Eng land as shall be contracted between lawful persons (as by this Act we declare all persons to be lawful that be not prohibited by God's law to marry) shall be lawful, good, just, and indis soluble," &c.-32 Henry VIII., c. 38. "Centuries of mistake as to the validity of the marriages in question will not render them invalid."- —Mr. Justice Erie, in .• 844. " The prohibition of taking two sisters was meant for the lifetime (only."—Milton. " These persons alone (of relatives by affinity) has God for bidde n to me : the wife of my uncle, my son's wife, my bro ther's wife, my wife's daughter, the children of my wife's son • or daughter, the sister of my wife, while my wife is living. With n one of these can I contract matrimony, with the rest I may, wen without paying money for a dispensation ; as with the sister 'of my espoused or married wife, hen the latter has der carted this life, with the daughter of the brother of my 'a, with the daughter of the uncle of my wife, and with any m er of my wife's cousins, nieces, or relatives."--Luther. My opinion is certainly in favour of the relaxation of the law prohiniting the marriage of a widower to his late wife's siste r."—Chancellor Martin, of the Diocese of Exeter. I have no doubt that according to Leviticus xvii., 18 (Fleb rew and English), marriage with a deceased wife's sister is pei .mitted."—Dr. M`Caul, Prebendary of St. Paul's, and Professor of Divinity, King's Col le g e. " A .re you of opinion that there is any prohibition in Scrip ture Tainst such marriages ?" "No; I am quite satisfied of the cot itrary."--Evidence of Rev. J. Garbett, lion.

He had, therefore, come to the conclusion that it was his duty to support the second reading of the • Speech of the Right Hou. Sidney Herbert, M.P., 1850. " I have known probably several scores of such merriageet. f have "counted a dozen 'within the last three or fem . minutes. Most of these dozen belong to the highest class of society. One of the m . i s a doctor of divinity. Several of . them Ore ministers of the Gospel. One is a member of Congress, Ara brose Spender, the eminent chief justice of this State, died h few years ago. He married two sisters of De Witt Clinton, the distingUished governor of this State. The Presbyterian Church of this village has probably not more . than 50 mem bers. Two of these married sisters of their wives."—Gerrit Smith, Esq., of the United States. " In the time of Henry VIII., though Christendom wa* then much divided, theire was almost a general consent upon this proposition, that the Levitical decrees do not, by any 'al , of God, bind Christians to their observance."—B3shop Jeremy Taylor. Natioral Testimonies from the Civil, Ecclesiastical, and Acs demical Authorities of various• Foreign Countries in whiAX this Marriage is Permitted, not ' only without Injury, bu.% with most desirable Consequences, and with full Approval of all Classes of Society. Grand Duchy of Saxe-Coburg. • • " From various considerations, such • marriages here have become very common. So far are such marriages from being contrary to public opinion, that people arc, on the contrary. inclined to consider them both natural and desirable. We express our conviction that there ought to exist perfect lilyrty between widowers and the sisters of their late wives to contract such marriage."—Grand Duchy of Saxe-Coburg, Ainistry in Council. Grand Duchy of Weimar. " Public opinion in the country of Weimar, and in the whole Thuringia, regards such a marriage as unobjectionable, and only aims at abolishing the 'necessity for asking permis sion in each indiVidnal case, and at the introduction of perfect ' liberty in such matters. That the slime may be obtained in England, the land of liberty and of order, based upon a respect for the laws; is oursincere wish."—Clergy ud University of the Grand Dually of Weimar. Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. " The old law prohibited the marriage with the sister of a deceased wife, except by a dispensation, which was easily granted. The law, however, now in operation, of the Bth March, MO, declares such marriages as valid without dis pensation. Such marriages are frequent, and public opinion thoroughly approves them ; as no ono can see the reasonable ness of the former prohibition, placing the wife's sister in the same • category as the own sister."—Consistory of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. • Grand Duchy of Saxe Weimar. " The highest eceloiastical authorities here approve such marriage without reserve. They are' frequent—are almost always happy ones-- , and, as, far as our knowledge extends, by uo means disaclymOageous to domestic life.

"Public opinion in our country is entiFoly in favour of such marriages, and when, very lately, this subject under went discussion in both our Chambers, all our six dignitaries of the Protestant Evangelical Cliur3h, as well as the two of the Rpwan Catholic Church, pronounced theinselves in its favour ; .nor were there any voices raised by the strictly reli gious community (of which, tLank God, there are many) against t."—Professor Kapff, Stuttgart. Switzerland. " Generally, chiefly among the Protestants, such its rriages arc considered as very desirable and productive of nurc.h good to society. It is thought that the only canton whemb• such marriages are piobibited will not be long before modifying that law. As to our population, it can be affirmed that the prohibition of such marriages no longer has its seat if the manners and feelings of our people."—Official Report fzt im the Cantons of Switzerland. Russia. " These marriages were formerly permitted only by dispel.' cation; but by a law of 1532 for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Russia, they are perfectly free to partparts's contract ing them. Such marriages mre indeed frequent, particularly among the rural population, where members of families are more thrown together It is more than mere supposition that such marriages a, e happy ones. Experience has not shown any evil consequences to domestic life from such marriages ; at least, such has not become known. Public opinion in this country is more for than against such marriages."—lmperial University of.Dnrpat, Russia. Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. "Public opinion, which feels no scruples of any kind as to such marriages, approves of them most particularly when there are young children of a first marriage, as giving them iu the sister of their late mother a second loving mother. Tho permission of such marriages has, with us, been productive in no way of evil consequences " Consistory Court of the Grand Duchy of Meeklenburg•Strelitz. Marriage with a deceased wife's sister is not known to have been prohibited in any age or country before the fourth cen tury of the Christian era, at which period the churches had widely departed from the simplicity of earlier times. The most exaggerated notions were entertained respecting mar riage and eeliba,y, and, influenced by the doctrines of tho ascetic Basil; Bishop of New Caesarea, the Greek Church, without scriptural warrant, prohibited marriages of consan guinity, of affmity, ansi even of spiritual affinity, to the seventh degree. At the present day these marriages may be lawfully cele brated in the following countries, each of which has an inde pendent jurisdiction in the matter, and the united popular tious of which amount to more than 700,000,000, viz.-- In the Empires of Saxe-Meiningen Indiana Austria Anhalt-Dessau Illinois Russia (for the Luthe- Saxe•Altenhurg NI Ismaili runs and Catholics:' Ar.halt-Bernberg, and Florida France Anhalt-Coethen Texas Brazil In the Landgraviate ct to N Turkey Hesse-Homburg Wiscons:n Morocco, and In the Princbalities of I California China Lippe-Deenutd - New Grailada In the Kingdoms of Reuss-Grenz ' Chill, and Prussia Reuss-sclileitz l'eru Spain Schwarzhurg-Son- In the Republican Portugal der,hau , en Swiss Cantons of Sardinia Schwarz burg-Rudol- Cerne (Jura) Naples Lucerne Sicily Uri Ilungs.ty Schwitz 11 i]l and Unterwalden Sw den Glaris Norway Z ig Denmark eriburg Belgium A ppenzell Bavaria St. Gall Wir.emberg , ;risons Hanover, and Valais Saxony Tessin In the Grand Duchies Attleure Basle Nrgorle Thurgoage N euchatel ;en Va Zurich, and ,ch , iffhausen In the Free Hanseatic Towns of Bremen and Lubeck Aud in the Free Cities stadt Pyrmont, and Waldeck In the Republican States of Maine Now flampsh!re Vermont M assaohuset ts Rhode Island Conne.tieut New York Sew Jersey Pennsylvania Ile aware Maryland Virginia North Carolina " 4 oath Carolina Georgia Alai): ma Mississippi Louisiana Arkansas Tennessee Kentucky Ohio Michigan Baden Luxemburg Hesse-Darmstadt Saxe-Weimar Oldenburg Mecklenburg-SChwe. rin, and M ecklenburg-Strelitz Tn the Electorate of Iles.e-Cassel In the Duchies of Saxe Coburg Brunswick Holstein N assaa liamhnrir an!

MR. WHITESIDZS MOTION. MEETING- OF LIBERALS. At one o'clock yesterday 204 members a Parliament assembled at Lord Palmerston's reel• donee, in Piccadilly, by invitation. The only ques tion brought before the meeting was the course to be adopted in reference to the impending motion of which Mr. Whiteside had given notice for that evening. After some discussion, it was deolded that it should be met by a direct negative, and that the amendment of Mr. Phillimore should not Ibe proceeded with. The members in attendance, with few exceptions, agreed to support the Government, a►nd there seemed a general impression that the motion Weald be rejected 133 , a considerable majority. MEETING OF CONSERVATIVES! There were 190 members in attendance yostadaY at Lord Derby's Mansion, St. James's Square, at 1 o'clock. The same subject was discussed .as at the P.'amier's, viz., Mr. Whiteside's motion. There were sevt Tat dbe sentients, many considering the proceeding premature. The Marquis of Granby spoke in decided oppositi . on to the motion. Tt was, however, decided by a very l'arge majority that it should be supported, and there has ceon gequently been considerable activity manifested by 01 • whippers'•in on both sides. It was generally understoo► I that Sir E. Bulwer Lytton would speak in support at' the motion this evening. Beth sides teemed disposed tO let off Lord Stratfori de Redcliffe as easily as possible.
