It is thought that the only canton where such marriages are prohibited 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 in the manners and feelings of our people."—Official Report from the Cantons of Switzerland. " It is much to be wished that the wisdom of the Legisla ture would interpose for the satisfaction of the subject, and that the bishops, of .vhose liberal sentiments upen thornatter I have no doubt, would promote a measure, which as it will contribute - to the happinesi 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 .narriagcs of this description considered in Germany to be at all contra bones mores ?" " Not at all. So far from being considered contra bonus mores, the feeling of the peo ple o Germany is uudonlitedly in favour of such marriages." • . . "It frequently happens 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 on her death bed to her husband is to marry her sister in case he should feel inclined to marry again. This arises partly from affec tion for her surviving husband and relations, that ho may not become estranged from her connexions, and partly from affection to her sister, and very frequently where there are young children, or their sake." . . . .

" Within the 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 ho 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."--Ceid Justice Vaughan. .In the Indies—if a husband has lost his wifo, ho 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 thou second marriages of this sort ; and, so far from being doubtful as to their moral tendency, they are among us deemed the very best sort of marriages. In my whole life, I newt-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 iuhuman.—Hon. Judge Mason, U.S. " I believe all restrictions up on 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 inarriage 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 caudid 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. . .

STAMPED 5D- relative to the pickets, when he (Lord Lucan) jocosely remarked on the "greyish white greatcoat " Colonel Griffithi had on, which he had received from Constanti nople. Colonel Griffiths then made some remarks about the permanent posifion of the canal), and no doubt he (Lard 'Llican) replied, " Hove can I tell you what we are about tQ do." Col. Griffiths continued in a tone of re proach. lie (Lord Liman) replied, and he believed Col. GriffithS received iewith a sneer, and:Made some extrava gant suggia-tion on what was then uppermost in his ,mind, and which he was discussing with the Commander-in• Chief and the Quarterniaster-General of the Army. Col. Griffiths then in an extraordinary manner•threw himself back on his'horse and said, "You aite not speaking to me likes gentleman, nor treating me as one gentleman ought to treat another." • He then told him to be quiet, or_ he would place him under arrest. Corona Griffiths continued repeating that he was only ttalking to him (Lord Lucan) as one gentleman bad a right to. talk to another, on which ho (Lord Lncan) told - him to, hold his tongue and join his picket. (Laughter.) His lordsleip,tafter some other remarks, said :be would wil, lingly leave his case in the hands of the Board ; but there were seme remarkable points in the evidence that had been submitted, both to the CommisSioneri and the Board, to whiCh ho found himself bound to advert — and first with reference to the percentage of deaths of the horses. He maintained that his statements on ;a former oceasion,in connection with the deaths were cor rect, and' that every figure in the Commissionere' repeat . was incorrect. He had shown that the heavy cavalry had nut 1,055 horses nu the Ist October, as had bean stated; because at that time there was not a single man of the•beavy brigade in the Crimea, and it was only aker the arrival cf the Eeeiskillen and the Ruyal Dragoons on the sth or 6th of the month that - the heavy cavalry. 'became-complete. His lordship then proceeded to ana lyse the figures in the Commilsioners reports, relative to the returns of. the horses and deaths, whichrhe charac terWeel as "striff„" - "rubbish;" and " unintelligible," ;and m, peaafaeofe•keasserladethatatita-numbre. s,f . horses landed in Bulgaria was 2,450, out of which 422 died there, and 276 on the passage to the Crimea, making a total loss, up to that time, of leaving 1,752 horses alive. Out of tais number 847 horses died in the Crimea up to the 16th of January, or 48 per cent. His lordship next referred to a paragraph in the report relative to the hutting, which accused him of disiegeniousness and com plained that a great deal of obloquy had been cast upon him in consequence of the displacement of a marginal note, ae alleged by the printer, which the Commissioners might at any time have put right, but they had declined doing so until two or three days after the commence •rnent of this inquiry. In this as in every . other part of the report the Commissioners state ments were inconsistent and at variance -with the facts. He then again came to the question of censure, and'here he contended that if there was one part more than another that contained animadversion on his con duct it was in the Commissioners' remarks in connection with the hutting, and notwithstanding what Col. Tulloch had said to the contrary, it was evident that the Com missioners had animadverted on hiin without mentioning his name, hoping thereby to evade the respon,ibility they would otherwise have incurred by stating his name. In passing to what he _considered the most important part of the report, charging him with want of prompti tude and ingenuity in devising shelter for the cavalry, he remarked, in rather strong terms amounting almost to animadversion—on Col. Griffiths' sheltering, which he said comprised only a six inch drain, quite inadequate for what it was intended, and which that officer was unable to make without relying on assistance from others. The charge of want of promptitude and ingenuity resolved itself into two questions, a can vas question, and a drainage canvas. With regard to the former, he called the attention of Sir R. ,Airey to the use of canvas for shelter as early as October. There ' was no want of promptitude or ingenuity here, bat did Col. Tullech show sufficient sagacity when he was di rected by the Minister of War to make the necessary arrangements for butting tl - n men ? Col. Tulloch said he was not invested with that re sponsibility by the Minister for War, and begged the protection of the Court. The Judge- Advocate-General said there was no evi dence of that kind before the Court, and Lord Lucan had better confine his remarks to what had been stated in evidence. • Lord Lucan continued—He said that whatever might have been stated about the use of canvas, no person of experience, and especially those who had been in the Crimea, would say that it could have been . used with safety to the -horses on the plateau in the month of Noelmber. He agreed that if nothing else could have been obtained canvas to a certain extent might have been of advantage especially in roofing, but there never was a sufficient quantity of scantling with which to form frame work for canvas roofing. and if Mr Rawlinson had stated that it would have 'been safe to have used the same scantling for canvas as for timber, the' deficiency of scantling was a difficulty which any amount of canvas could not have remedied, but admit ting canvas-wotdd- have been useful was it toe be got? Admiral Sir E. Lyons had stated that canvas could not have been hard from the fleet, and every word that had fallen from the gallant admiral would have been con firmed by Admiral Dundas if he bad been allowed to use his written replies to the queries lie (Lord Lucan) had forwarded to him, so that they had evidence of the two admirals of the station on that point. The Jii dge-Ad veeate-General— I think not LOrd Lucan. The replies of Sir D. Duralas had not been received in evidence. Lord Lucan said he would fall back on the evidence of Sir E. Lyons, which was quite sufficient for his im pose. It had been proved that if there had been a suffi cient supply of canvas there was a deficiency of car penters. The authorities at home were not well ac quainted with the supply of carpenters at Constantinople ; and, as an instance, he bad only to refer to what occur red at Scutari. Some works requiring construction there the War-office sent out a clerk of the works at 5001. per annum, to look after it, and the Ordnance, not knowing w.hat the War-office had done, sent out ano ther clerk of the works et 5001. per annum—(laughter) —and the consequence was that there were two clerks of works, at 1,0001. a year salary. When they got to Scutari they found they had only 16 men to look alter — (laughter)—that being all the men they could get.. He would next refer to the trenching, &c. , for shel ter, and that brought him to the evidence of Mr. Raw linson, who, in addition .to his being a civil en gineer was also an eminent genealogist—(laughter)— he meant geologist, had stated that pits could have been constructed in certain places, but that was impossible,. because the cavalry had orders to keep in a certain place, and he had further given a statement of how much ground a soldier could excavate, based on what a navvy was capable of doing, -an assumption which every one who knew the habits, &c., of the two classes of men knew to be absurd. His lordship then pointed oat in. detail how wrong it would have been to have dug such pits for the use of the horses, and the danger liteely to result from them. The Russians never placed their horses behind trenches, for the great object in warfare was to change their ground as often as possible. Lord Lucan then referred to a report he had furnished to him on the 16th December, of the available men in the cavalry not being satisfied with the progress they were making in sheltering the horses, and he found that on that day the available men of the Royal Dragoons num bered 10, the 4th Dragoons none, the sth Dragoons 16, the Scots Greys 5, the 4th Light Dragoons 6, the Bth Hussars none, the 11th Hussars 1, the 13th Light Dra goons 1, and the 17th Lancers from 30 to 40 men, not including regimental duties. His lordship next read a detailed statement of the duties of an " idle dragoon" in the field, consisting of his cleaning his own horse and accoutrements, as well as those belonging to . men who were sick' or engaged as butchers, &c., attend to stable duties and other matters, which allowed him only three hours idle time in a short December day. Great stress had been laid by the Commissioners on the fact that of the horses sent to Balaklava for stores; one-half only carried loads, the other half being ridden by the 'men ; but that was not a matter for which he (Lord Lucan) was responsible. His orders were to send to Balaklava a certain number of horses, and if the Commissariat only loaded half of them he was not to blame for it. The commissioners were wrong in stating that the stores were but one mile from the camp, When they were two miles distant. He again reiterated that he had not the assistance of an engineer officer to assist him in con structing shelter, and that the small number of tools he had were of the worst description possible, and perfectly useless. • on their [At2 o'clockreturn L the Board z u rd ea a n d j c o o i n ir t n in e u d e f d or h h id al s f ul a t u en b l o e u n r_ t , l a n d He said that he believed he had not been assiste(tl by engineer officer in providing l s A h o er r e d d on to a a n s d sis S t ir bi ß tn .

If the cavalry had bad no other duties to o C er ol w on a e s l or G d shelter, ho., a nd bad been in that respect as favourably ° B h obr o e ;l b ; ge circumstanced as the French cavalry, he believed that in a b te u r t ia ti l i s ig be t e h n e CI it i p toh e re r t f hc o (0 : o t u u nir sic, ; t f, h t a hjv n e h or ses, an, was _to the delay in the subsequent arrival of material, the transport duty the cavalry had to perform, and the want of proper scantling that the delay was to be attributed. He was quite cer tain that by the Mb of Feb. every horse that sur• vived was under cover. This, too, was in the middle of winter when the ground was covered with snow,. and when it would have been most improper to require the men to expose themselves. more than was necessary to the severity of the weather. He next said that the blunders in the report were so great that it was difficult to account for them. The noble lord complained of the manner in wi i';.h the Commissioners had selected their witnesses, and con fined their inquiries to certain officers, and asked why they had not examined Lord Raglan and his staff, and also himself (Lord Lucan) ? The army suffered greatly from "scurvy," of which they had reason to complain, but the general officers in the Crimea had more to com -1 plain of the ".scurvy " treatment they bad received from the Commissioners. He next condemned the inter ' I ference of the War Minister in reference to the draw in g I tip o f the report, and charg"ed the cormakieienerN ___ witlrhaving sent slips of the War-office as they were produced for co, allowing of the "Ittest improvements" bei into it ; and the last was said to ,haye ' the 21Ith January. it would appear to doubt this report, and "sacrilege " to I but the inquiry on which the report wL not been•elnducted as it ought to have been, and the .1 report itself had been so manufactured that it could not be urged that it was entitled to such reverence an respect as a report of this nature should be or. titles: to. next adverted to Colonel Tulloch not being an officer qualified to conduct such an inquiry, and said that this report should have been drawn up • without any communication with the Minister of War, and completed without his interference—only handed to him alter it had received the signature of the Commis sioners ; but this was a joint production of the Minister for War and the Commissioner. Col. Tulloch dissented from this inference being drawn from his evidence. Lord Lucan said he called that a joint predneticiii wheie a third' party interfered. Tulloch—Tlrere was no interference by the Minis'. ter of War. _ _ Lord Lucan—But Col. Tulloch's evidence states that a third person did interfere with the drawing 'up the reporb. The Judge-Advocate-General--You are not justified is making*that-staternent by the evidence. Lord Lucan—That's a matter of opinion. Col. Tulloch—Lord Panmure made no alteration fn the report, and he (Col. Tulloch) made none, at the re • quest of Lord Paumure. Lord Luau then read that portion of Col. Tulloch'a evidence which he said warranted him in drawing the inference he had relative to this being a manufactured -report, and said he still was of opinion it was a joint production ; and, after what had been revealed, that it was not worth the paper on which it was written. (hisses and laughter.) He said this report had been drawn up .to secure the temporary ease of the Government, and to lull the just indignatiou of the people, and to excuse 'the Government for sacrificing the finest army that ever left Engla. , ,d: Want of promptitude and ingenuity was to be attributable to the authorities at home .in not pro- viding proper supplies. to the army, and had the horses been supplied with a sufficiency of food they wou ld not have suffered as they had done. The qua- tion was, who killed the horses I No doubt if - any one was, to blame it was the Minister for War and the . S6cretary to the Treasury, who had the 'control of the Commissat De.partment.

At one o'clock yesterday 204 members of Parliament assembled at Lord Palmerston's resi. dente, 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 lgr,' Whiteside had given notice for that evening. After. some discussion, it was deoided that it should be met by a direct negative, anti that the amendment of Mr. Phillimore 'should not be proceeded with. The members in attendance, with few exceptions, agreed to support the Government, and there seemed a general impression that the motion would bs rejected by a considerable majority. ~_ MEETING OF CONSERVATIVES. There were 190 members in attendance yesterday at Lord Derby's Mansion, St. James's Square, at 1 o'clock. The same subject was discussed as at the Premier's, viz., Mr. Whiteside's - motion. There were. sayeral dis sentients; many cmisidering the proceeding premature. The Marquis of Granby spoke in decided opposition to the motion. It was, ho Never, decided by a very large majority that it should be supported, and there has con sequently been considerable activity minifested by the whippers'-in on both sides. It was generally understood that Sir E. Bulwer Lytton would speak in support of the motion this evening. B >th sides seemed disposed to let off Lord Stratford de RAciiffe as easily as possible.
