Laurie. Johnstone and Hunter. Fourteen centuries before the birth of our Saviour, the Vedas, or four sacred books of the Indian mythology, were compiled ; and about the period when Homer was wandering barefooted among the principal cities of Greece, namely 900 8.C., the great Hindu lawgiver Menu was incorporating the doctrine of monotheism in his celebrated institutes. Since those memorable epochs the religious belief of the Asiatics, like that of most Pagan worshippers, has frightfully degene rated. A creed that at one time articulated the holiest doctrines and the purest morality hes come at last to be a mere chaos of inde cencies and abominations. Front the one in visible creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, Brehm, have sprung a multitude of divini ties so enormous as to be estimated by one writer in round numbers at " three hundred and thirty mil lions !" To track the BUZ:S of the Hindu mythologists, therefore, through all these count less fictions it may well be imagined i 3 a task of insuperable difficulty. The mere narrative of the Avatars, or divine visitants of mankind, is enough to bewilder an ordihary reader by the variety of the circumstances recorded. 'When, moreover, it is considered that the study of these subjects is, in ad dition to all this, of the most repulsive character ima ginable, it may be seen that enough obstacles stand in the way of any adventurous inquirer. "To know the Hindu idolatry as it is," says Ward, " a person must wade through the filth of the thirty-six pooranas and other-popular books—he must read and hear the modern popular poems and songs—he must follow the Brahmin through his midnight orgies before the image of Ka!i, , e and other goddesses; or he must accompany him to the nightly revels, the jatras, and listen to the filthy dialogues which are rehearsed re specting Krishna and the daughters of the milkmen." Enough this, in all conscience, one might think, to deter the most daring student of oriental literature from penetrating further than the mere surface of the Hindu mythology In citements, nevertheless, there are' sufficiently power ful to counteract these rnotiveal: iirdi&rence en gendered by disgust, and to egg" on the ''most labo rious of our scholars in the prosecution of these very terrible investigations. Considering the vastness of our empire in Hindostan, and the huge number of the subjects of her Britannic Majesty, who are be lievers in these mythic iniquities, it becomes a mutter of extraordinary interest to pierce the crust of ob scurities and reach those strates of pseudo-religious fiction in which are preserved the debris and the fossilized skeletons of the Faith. Patriotism of a certein sort, therefore, as well as curiosity, im pels the adepts in oriental literature to the in quiries we have particularized. Among these very enterprising and praiseworthy students, Lieutenant William F. B. Laurie, of the Madras Artillery, has achieved for himself a high end conspicuous position—his present volume, " Orissa," being is its way a really remark ible display of erudition. In his previous work " The French in Lid*" be had shown himself a lively writer and a shrewd observer, from whose pen, afters little practice, better things still might be confidently anticipated. "Orissa" is a brilliant justification of these hopes in his regard, and to it, therefore, we are desirous of directing public attention, as to a book from which much valuable informetion may he derived, relating at large to Indian idolatry and superstition, and in an especial manner furnishing an account of British con nexion with the Temple of Jaganeleh. The import ance of the latter subject is forcibly indicated in the following sentences extracted from the Friend of India, of October 26th, 1848 : " By none except she frivolous, the light-headed, the morally and religiously indifferent, can the subject itself be reckoned of secondary importance. It is one which for nearly half a century has engrossed much of the time and attention of our leading Indian statesmen, at home and abroad. It is one which bus proved an ex citing theme, not to thousands only, but to millions of the soberest and most intelligent of the commurity of the British Isles. Nor is this at ull surprising. Fer, apart altogether from the religious interest which attaches to it, it involves principles of political importance—prin ciples of extensive learning and momentous application in a region so bested with the shrines and temples of idolatry." A. direct application of the closing remark in this quotation was furnished by Allen's Indian Mail of the 15th ult., in . which occurred the subjoined para graph, headed— to fxculpate him and vindicate his innocence. Such is the main thread of the narrative ; its interesting nature may be surcnistd fiLni these details, and from a knowledge of the truthful, and hence most powerful, manner in which the author of " Merkland" relates the thrilling narrative. Among the characters in troduced the most delightful, immeasurably the most delightful in the book, is old Mrs. Catherine Douglas dear, self willed, right-judging, kind hearted Mrs: Catherine. For her picture alone, for her simple hearty discourses, we should have felt grateful to the author of " Merkland," were the rest of his tale as uninteresting, instead of being, as it is, most attractive. Faults it has undoubtediy, but the oc casional improbability of the incidents is more than compensated by the general truthfuhless of the chit rao!ers. We shall be ghal to meet again the author of " Margaret _Maitland" and " Merklaud." TIIE IDOL SHRINE. By the same Author Smith, Elder, and Company. An epitomized version of the foregoing volume has been here produced by Mr. W. F. B. Laurie, in which he has very lucidly recounted the " Origin, History, and Worship of the Great Temple of JAgar.n " Additional information has, nevertheless, been inco!porated with this epitome, insomuch that the pamphlet possesses much of the interest of novelty. The readers of Robert Southey, those who have shud dered over the more terrible passages in the " Curse of Kehama," will turn with avidity to a brief account such as the one under notice, evending only to forty five pages, into which are compressed so much strange and valuable information. _ _ "Lo in the city of Jagantiadl— Lo ! in the seven-headed idol shrine!" all the marvels of the locality have been scrutinized by the pamphleteer, and the result of his inquiries are placed before us in this rapidly sketched but enthral ling and instructive outline. The brochure forms al together the very handbook to Hindu Mythology. THE QUARTERLIES. 2HE WESTMINSTER AND FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. CM. and XCIL A rather scrambling, but brilliant and animated criticism on " Spanish Literature" opens the current number of the Westminster. The paper has been principally suggested by the work recently published from the pen of Mr. George Ticknor. Calderon's Arabic wealth of invention is especially celebrated by the reviewer, and due regard is of course had to the satiric humour of Cervantes. Certain "rhetorical anecdotes of Al Harii of Basra," lately translated into English by Mr. Theodore Preston, and entitled " Makainat," is examined with a very judicious dis crimination ; the merits and demerits of the work being alike clearly recognised. Mr. Philip James Wiley, the author of the remarkable poem of " Festus," receives a most eulogistic notice of his " Angel World." Among the various quotations made by the critic from the latter effu-ion is the fol lowing exquisite mention of the change wrought in the stream of Time by the Angel Saviour : " Descending to the shore, he stoop d, and dipped Into the stream his hand; which, filling full, He tasted, and thus spite. 'Ye waters—once Ol death—hut now of life eternal. take Back the libation I have made of ye; • And be ye changed fur ever.' Uttering this, He cast the dark rtmaii.der in the flood, That instant chat god into u flood of lite, Flashing with light celestial to its depths Of bottomless infinitude; and straight, Grasping the bright branch of an olive tree, Which bowerA with verdant gold the peaceful shore, He therewith sprinkled, one by one, the band Who him accompanied; with these pure rites Making them free, initiate into Heaven, And death the lesser mysteries of lie ." Mr. Robert William Mackay next obtains an atten tive consideration from the Westminster, his narra tive of" Tee Progress of the Intellect, as Exemplified in the Religious Development of the Gi eeks and He brews," being closely scrutinized by one of the re viewers. Our hopes for sanitary reform are encou raged by the next contribution, a carefully compiled statement in regard to " Drains, Rivers, and Water Supply ;" snd our aspirations for the diminution of the amount of national ignorance are sustained by the subsequent article relating to the " Educational Movements." All anxieties experienced in reference to the interests of royalty or republicanism throughout' Europe may be appeased, in some measure at least, by following with the next re viewer the thread of probabilities leading through the labyrinth of " Continental Prospects ;" and in the paper coming immediately afterwards, another comment is added to the numerous ones already printed in reference to the agitation about the Catholic Hierarchy in England. The last men tioned contributim is headed very significantly " The Battle of the Churches," and the tendency of the writer is to cast discredit upon all priests indiscrimi nately. Two criticisms, embellished with copious extracts from Moritz Wegner's " Journey to Co!chis and the German Colonies beyond the Caucasus," and from Adam OehlenschiNger's "Recollections of My Life," make up the number of the Foreign Quarterly appended to the Westminster, and these are followed bye variety of miscellaneous notices, in which due regard is paid to both writers and musicians. THE BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW. .No. XX V. Ten remarkably attractive themes have been chosen by the writers in the present number of the British Quarterly for their contributions. The opening article, being a narrative of "Beta's First Campaign in Transylvania," is invested with a peculiar sort melancholy interest by the death of that unforunate adventurer in his exile in Turkey. A beautiful chapter, extracted as it were from another " Kosmos" is the next paper, a paper poetically entitled "The Chemistry of the Sunbeam." Dr. Mayo's " Berber" is noticed in the subsequent critici,,m, bring an article called after the second title of his volume, "The Mountaineer of the Atlas." " Egypt under the Pharaoh's" is the title of a review on the work of Mr. John Kenrick, relating to that ancient people end that remote period. A masterly biography fol lows of " Baron," the Naturalist—a great man, who is happily desiguared by the British Quarterly " the artist," and Linswus " the urtizsu of Nature Tribute, and deserved tribute of eulogium, is offered to the memory of But on for his wonderful powers of description. Take the following brief but suggestive paragraph: — " leis description cf the swallow has something., 83 't were, inspired and hymn-like about it: Vcnit venit hirundo pulchra adduccns tunpora et pu"chros annos He paints frus the sad emnurs of the eat Clamando rixfind , ,que misere mot. Ills description of the here is veiy beauti.M Anunal generosum, superbum, forttsst mum,. eursu Arens,' &e. And what a thou-gt t is this: • t; guant contemta res est honio, nisi supra Its nana se erexerit.' Further on the reviewer remarks— " Nothing is better known nor more frequently quoted than the beautiful pages wherein Buffo, describes the two men which are bound in man—the homo duplex, or double man. .Buffon admits two species ot memories, 85 Descartes two si.ecies ot sensibilnies: the first, which is the trace of our ideas; the second, which is but the renovation ot cur senses; the first emanating from the soul, the second the only one which can be accorded to the animal. We have, then, a physical sensi bilitity and an intellectual sensibility; there is the memory which is but the renovation of our senses, and the memory which is the trace of our ideas. There are two species of passions; ' the passions which belong but to the man, and the passions a hich he pos sesses in common with animals.' There ate two species of intelligences ; the intelligence allied to matter, and the intelligence which is spirit, which is the soul. ' The elephant,' says 13ution, approaches man by his intent ligebce—as closely, at least, as m a tt e r ca n approach to spirit.' There are, in fine, two active principles, two sovereign powers of the nature of man, the material prin ciple, and ihe i t is The inner man,' says `is d ouble; is composed of two principles, differing in their nature, and ant agon i st i c i n t h e i r act i on . The soul, this spiritual principle, this principle of all knowledge, is ever in opposition with this other prin ciple, wlech is an animal and purely mater i a l one. '" The whole of this admirable contribution is emi nently deserving of perusal. One division of the educational movement is touched up on i n th e ar ti c l e headed " The Universities Commission ;" an interest. ing paper is contributed respecting " Quekett on the Microscope ;" a geographical account of " The Cen tral States of America" will be found no less agree able as a means of whiling away an hour both plea santly and instructively; and a political inquiry of some importance has particular reference, as its title indicates, to " Italy, Germany, and England." The article on the Catholic Hierarchy—headed "England "—has been evidently compiled with the last, and we presume the m o st arresting ma nudchth elabour.o Papacyhe This pri n cipal contributions, is followed by a batch of twenty-nine various criticisms, with which the current number of the British Q uar t er ly i s brought to a conclusion. TAXES ON CARRIAGES. --A deputation of coach makers, representing the trade in the "United Kingdom, waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, for the purpose of rbtaiuing a modification of the taxes upon carriages. After alluding to the depressed state of the trade, and showing the decreasing revenue to be annually in a greater proportion, they proposed instead of the present high rate of taxation levied on upwards of twelve classes, to place all carriages under three classes only, at reduced rates, commencing with 3/. for the highest, 2/. for the next, and H. for the lowest, exempting none, as at present, but charging them with the lowest rate. This arrangement, if adopted, it was shown, would not materially decrease the revenue. The deputation, co. sisting of Mr. J Leslie Lewis, master of theCoachmakers' Company, and upwards of thirty members of the trade, was accompanied by Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P, Mr. Muntz, M.P., Mr. Schulefield, M.P., Mr. Divett, M.P., filr.

There are two capital stories in the present number —" The Legend of Castle Gregory," which might well be drawn out into a three-volume historical ro mance, and a psychological tale anent a certain Tobias Guarnerius, v,ho, by viilanout contrivance, im prisoned his defunct mother's soul in the sounding board of his fiddle, which thenceforth emitted notes of magical and over-exciting power, to the possessor's great emolument, but ultimate ruin. A biographical notice, accompanied with a portrait, is given of Samuel Lover, the accomplished poet, dramatist, story-teller, and painter, whose Irish songs have gained for him a world-wide reputation. Jonathan Freke Slingby strikes the lyre this month with his wonted sweetness and polished execution ; and in the seconi number of " Leaves from the Portfolio of a Manager," we find a most amusing account of Mr. Calcraft's dealings with some of those eminent foreign singers, whose exorbitant demand's render them the vampyres of theatrical managers. Among the other papers area very ably and powerfully written article on " Truant Right and the Tenant. League," adverse to the sys tem and to the agitation —a highly interesting sketch of the rise and successful industry of those sterling benefactors of the masses, William and Robert Cham bers, of Edinburgh, and a scathing critique on that pretentious production, Mr. Seweli's Literal and Rythmical Translation of the Odes and Epodes of Horace.

The writer of the concluding effusion on " Tubular Con stitutions" may possibly deem his production witty and profound; but to us it seems to be near akin to unmitigated nonsense. Bating these couple of trashy pages, the Irish serial worthily maintains its high and established reputation. JUGGERNAUT. " The East India Company has, it is said, determined entirely to disconnect itself from the idol worship of Jug gernaut, if it can do so without positive breach of faith. It hiss rent out instructions for the local Government to sec' rtain if it is bound by any engagement to continue its annual grant to the custodians of the temple; and if not, as it is believed is the case, the allowance will be dis. continued.

Now, the very question which according to this state ment is at the present moment puzzling the Court of Directors has been already discussed in the valuable work now lying under our consideration, and we cannot but coincide with its author in thinking that in it he has satisfactorily proved that the Go vernrnent may renounce alt connexion with the Temple o f Jagtiturivh, end wiqi the idolatrous worship of the Hindoos zcithout any breach of faith whatever, but, on the contrary, with the utmost pmsible consistency. In testimony of this we would refer to the opening pages of the inquiry, and to the work itself' passim. Mr. W. F. B. Laurie has not adventured upon the task fulfilled in " Orissa," without having previously rendered himself master of its difficulties. Having twice personally visited the temple ofJagane nlch, and strengthened himself with a multitude of literary researches, besides benefiting himself by the advice of nisi inguished civilians in the district—he has entered upon the labour of writing " tirissa, the G.Arden of Superstition." Those who may desire an inkling of the theme treated of in this volume prior to obtaining it for serious examination will be interested, douhttess, in glatning through the fourth instalment of the " Appendix," here transcribed into our columns from the sth chapter of Coleman's "My thology of the Hindus." It is dr.‘scrip!ive of the origin of the worship of Jlgunlith "Sint^ the, gfick (-tt)s the historian), as will as men, must, it would appt , ur,cie some: time or other, the love- u- ,piring Krishna was one do shot vi.itti an arrow from the how of a hunter, who most uncert rnotriousiv left tlie lovely form f the del y, whom the Gopiss (milkmaids of Mount Geoudun) had so frantically atiotee:, to rut under the tree where it . tell.

Having been collected, they were placed in a box, where they remained till Vishnu, on heir g applied to by a religious monarch, Indra Dhootna. commanded him to make an image of Jagannith, tend place the bones in it. The king would willingly have done as he was desired, but unfortuuately possessed not the skill for such an undertaking; so he made hold to wit Vishnu who airau/d make it? Vishnu told him to apply to Viswakartna, the architect of the gods. He aid so, and as promptly as our great architect, Mr. Nash, would undertake the building of a palace, his brother of the Hindu pantheon set about forming the image of Jaganeath; but declared, if any person disturbed him in his labours, he would leave his work unfinished. All would have gone on welt, had not the king shown a re prehensible impatience to those divine injunctions which he had solemnly pledged himself to observe. Af‘er fifteen days he went to see what progress the holy ar chitect bad made; which so enraged him that he de sisted from his labours, and left the intended god with out either arms or legs. In spite, however, or this per plexing event., the work of Viswakarma has became ce lebrated throughout Hindustsn; and pilgrims from the remotest corners of India flock, at the time of the fes tivals of Jagannith, to pay their adorations at his mon strous and unhAlowed shrine." Such is the source of the fantastic abomination (from the countenancing of the homage for which the Go vernment is at length desirou s to w ithd raw f or e ver), such is the weird and marvellous myth which has ex cited the inquiries, and by doing so has tended to de monstrate the abilities of Mr. W. P. B. Laurie, who in the volume before us has added another to our al ready numerous treasures of oriental literature. MERKLAND: a Story of Scottish Life. By the Author of Margaret Maitland. a Vols. Colburn. Right welcome to us are the reminiscences of gentle Mrs. Margaret Maitland. A genuine " touch of nature" is manifest throughout her writings, and accordingly her pathos is more affecting, her simpli city of manner is more charming, and her genial kindness more delightful than any of those artificial attractions with which the practised penman adorns some worn-out, common-place tale. There is also a quaint originality in the manner of these stories of " Scottish Life," considerably aug mented, perhaps, by the northern dialect em ployed by many of the speakers, • w hi c h renders them delightfully refreshing to the weary readers of ordinary novels. " Merklarid" possesses the same charming characteristics es its predecessor ; it is as much pervaded with genuine kindness and simple tenderness and unaffected pathos, as was the story of the Lady of Sunnyside herself; while its in terest as a tale is much greater; the plot is snore complicated, end the characters introduced are more numerous. The theme of the tale is, moreover, one of an exciting and terrible nature. A murder has been committed sonic years previous to the opening' of the first volume.

An account of the " Invasion of Malta by the French under Napoleon in 1798," is very inte resting; and there is agreeable light reading in " The Pirate of the Black Rock," and " Pencillings of the Prairie."

The line extends from, the foot of Seventynituh-street to the island, the depth of the water varying 'horn thirty to seven feet. The engineer first ar ranged his pipe in one length upon the island, and formed a line of thirty boats, well manned, across the river. He then gave his order at the commencement of slack water, and the end of the pipe was drawn amss the river by men upon the opposite shore, and was taken up by the men in the boats, and one , hundred and ten anchors, each weighing thirty pipe, being ten two pounds, were attached to the • feet apart. By word of command the men in the boats lowered at each point to suit the inequalities in the bed of the fiver, as ascertained by previous survey.

Sir,—l beg to offer a few remarks in addition to my former letter. hoping that the opinion of the many may Furnish the Hon. Gentleman who presents our petition with sound and truthful arguments in its defence. Pro testant divines each us to view the Holy Scrip tures as the standard of our faith, and to guide us through our earthly pilgrimage. The law which de (dares a marriage to a deceased wife's sister to be illegal, I presume is oue of the canon or by-laws of the Church. Now the question is—ls this said law founded purely on Scripture authority ? if so, lam one who have vin lated the law. I have searched the Scriptures myself, and consulted Working men who make the Scriptures their daily study, and I am happy to say there are m such men adorn the working classes, and they say they cannot find it. So as the said law is not founded on the Word of God, what right have men to make a law contrary to God's most sacred decrees, and raise an unjustifiable barrier between parties whose intentions are purely honourable and undefiled? Such a law may have better suited the dark ages of superstition and intolerance, when the mind was crsmped by a depraved priesthood, but it don't suit the nineteenth century, as each man can have the law of God in his house to consult for himself', and ba directed by his own conscience. Had the promoters of the said law been acqu ,itated with humble life, they would have better known the position a poor man is placed in when left with motherless children. When the wife of a rich man dies, it is certainly a great family ailiction; but even then, he is surrounded with such comforts a poor man is a stranger to. The rich can provide nurses, schools, and colleges for their children, whilst the bereaved parent takes a continental journey to recruit his health and happiness; but with a poor man it is not so—he is doomed to toil, and when toil is over, with reluctant steps he returns to his home. But where is the object of his affection who made his home happy ? Alas . ! she is gone for ever. Weeks and months roll on, and as they roll, so his children's clothes become tattered and torn; and, in numerous cases, one child not able to mend fur another, or any person to in struct them. His once happy home then becomes wretched, and if he has not sufficient fortitude, he drinks strong drink to drown his sorrow. tut, in some cases, his deceased rife has a single sister left, whose heart yearns to see such sad . reverses in the fa m il y , an d wou l d g l a dl y restore i t t o its former happiness, but delicscy forbids, unless she is warranted by the rights of marriage. The man sees no other alternative. Now, I ask any gentleman what would he do under similar circumstances? The above is a correct picture. I have passed through its degrees; therefore I speak from experience. Now a word to the ladies. If any are halting between two opinions, I advise them to look to the humane side. Although the law may appear to cast a stigma upon their fame, their undertaking will be applauded by the just and the wise; and they may rest assured, if mar rying to a deceased sister's husband be their only sin, it will be but a small item to be accountable' for when before the just tribunal at the last day. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Lambeth, Feb. 11, 1851. CHARLES HICKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sits,--I em one of the many who are personally in terested in the above measure, and who have been look ing forward with mingled feelings of hope and fesr to the session of Parliament, just opeued. Your consistent, strenuous, and able advocacy of the measure has given you no slight claim to the gratitude of those who share my petition, and has, I am sure, powerfully contributed to call public attention to our case, and to excite public sympathy ou our hehelf. Every day supplies additional and abundant proof of the tact, that legletation upon the subject is imperatively demanded by every consideration of expsdieney and justice. No arguments appeal so poeertully to our understandings as well as to our hearts, as those which are suggested by our own experience; end wi;h your permission I will make a few remarks upon my own case, in illustration of both the injustice and the übsurdhy of the present law. Though, na turally enough, I am inclined to lay stress upon my own case, in many t espeets, I have little doubt, it is but a page from the history of thousands. As s' me guarantee for the trustworthiness of this communication, I inclose my name and address, for though lam averse to pub licity, I am not afraid of inquiry. A great deal of maudlin sentiment, where it has not been wilful prejudice or something worse", has been ex pended by the opponents of Mr. Wortley's Bill in the a s t'erept to show that it was fraught with danger to the po.ce of families—that it would play havoc with do tuesaic relationships—that it would prevent all associa tion of the husband with the wife's sister—and that it would cherish and create all conceivable passions of an improper character. What! are such opinions es these founded upon a just appreciation of the sanctity with which the marriage tie in this country is usually sup posed to be invested? Is it necessary to guard the con jugal state against some universal and almost irresistible tendency to hypocrisy and falsehood? What is the value of the affection and the fidelity which can only. be trusted when seured by the shackles of the law? But I do not. so much intend to argue the general queition as to refer to it in connexion with my own individual case. As regards the sentiments above alluded to, I can say with uehesitating honesty, that no one would have any eccaeion to blush at being influenced by the feelings which have prompted and contirmA, governed and cone secreted the relationship which I have ever sustained to the sister of my deceased wife. Will you allow me the retrospect of a few words in order to justify the remark? My wife, the dearest and the best of elves, was likewise the most delicate of human beings. She suffered a life's martyrdom, but she suffered with a gentle pa tience that won sympathy and affection, and with a fortituae which excited admiration and respect. A fflic tion never soured the sweetness of her disposition, or ruff al the serenity of her t xisterce. She breathed her life away as g ently as she lived it; and during the last few days that she was eassing from earth to heaven, her sister, usually buoy not alike iu health and spirits, was the tenderest end most teenduous of nurses. When ever, escaping from the occupation of the day, I re gained the position I so much loved, by the side of my wife; I found her with her head pillowed on the bosom of her sister, and iegardiug that sister with looks of love and gratitude which would have been are ample reward for any amount of care and t The poor creature expired where she had always desired to do, and where, when she could no longer live there, I too wished that she might die—in my arms; and Ix queathed bet sister a legacy to heaven and me. After I lost her I had but one pleasure left me—a pleasure which united my gra titude and affection towards the living with my devotion to the dead.; Anxiously and zealously, faithfully and re ligiously. I watched over the welter(' of the near crea ture who preserved to me alt that was dead of memory, and gave me whatever I had of hope. I could have cheerfully consented to any sacrifice, as I did to many &tailless, to secure her happiness. I need scarcely say more. We were both young—l but three years her senior. Is it strange that she has become to me the link which unites the fature.with the past? So; tar, however, Sir, though I think I have said quite enough to show that an attachment to a deceased wire's sister is not always the result and the cause of the depraved feelings which tome violent opponents of Mr. Wortley's Bill seem to suppose, I have said nothing to prove, by reference to my own case, the absurdity and the injustice of the existieg marriage law, and I shall now proceed to do so. I have already trespassed upon your valuable space at much greater length than I origi nally intended to do, and I shall condense my re maining remarks into as small a compass as possible. However heavily the law as it at present Gtauds presses upon some classes of the community, those who are blessed with riches have the means of eluding its epera tion. There are countries which du not impose the un natural restriciions upon marriage which exist iti our own etaightened land; and as any union becomes legal in England when legal in the country in which it is solemnized, money, as usual, ie sufficient to remove the difficulty, which is insuperable without it. I do not complain that some are able to secure, as a privilege, what should he enjoyed by ail as a rie.ht, I rather re joice that the wrong cannot reach all. But it is not the less a gross violation of justice that the man who has no moneyed means to enable hies to be united with his de masd witaas sister where such a marriage is legal, must either fly in the face of the law of the land, or submit to the loss of the happiness which is not denied to him by the law of nature and o: God. I, unlike the Chancellor of the Exchequer, am blessed with no surplus. I o ccepy a subordinate situation. The demands upon my purse aro more than equal to the supply, yet if I wish my mar siege with the object of me affections to be logal. I roustba prat ice the most rigid eels-denial, and endeavou r ia ed system of relentless severity, to economise is rive tet the resources.

WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER; TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST._ Sir,—You will much oblige me by inserting the fol lowing letter —like the former one from the same per son, it V 928 quite oesdeited : A "Lyndon Clergyman" writes angrily, but are his arguments as strong as his expressions. At all events, he confesses what Mr. Page Wood denied—the existence of tho marriages—l find that there aro four. I rather think five cafes in the Establishment to which Hicks be longs, and all men of religious character, readers of their Bibles, and regular members of congregations in the neighbourhood. I am no divine, but I think the Arelldeacon of Levies settled the que:tion a very few words:— "In like manner, when the law in the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of Leviticus enacts, Thou shalt not teke a wife to her sister to vex h• 1 r, beside the other. is her lifetime, it is plain that, inasmuch as the law limits the prohibition to the lifetime of the first wife, it does not puipote to extend the prohibition be yond her death. Else the prohibition would have been expressed generally and absolutely. Had the intention of the Jae giver been to prohibit tne marriage of a wife's sister altogether, even human wisdom would never have talc( n such a course, so sure to defeat its purpose, as to lay down a rule forbidding it solely in one particular case." A reference to the s'andard copy, at the Rolls, or even to the table of contents at the beginning of thv Prayer-Bock, will show !hat the table of degree is no tart of the Prayer• Book, and has been of late impro perly bound up with it. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, HENRY BAGSTER. 1, Featherstone-buildings, Holborn, Feb. 12, 1851. On the contrary, though these marriages are not sanc tioned by the law u the land, and though cons(quently thhy must be accompauli d by many disadvantage', they are con:inually celebrated. The law may say one thing, but when expediency, and feeling, and religion, and Scripture say the opposite, the law never is, and never will be, and never ought to be, treated with much re spect. We all know, too, that those who contract these unions do not lose caste in the opinion of society. To refer again to my own ease. I have already stated that I am struggling to accumulate the means of being mar ried where lily marriage will be legal. But if I find no hope of succeedi ng , an d m y h o pe is now but dim, I shall certainly no longer hesitate to anticipate the alteration of the low, by uniting myself in this country to her who possesses my pur est as we ll as m y warmest affections. Elope in the future shall give happiness to the present. When any amendment of the law is made, it must have a retro:year° effect. The justice conceded to Wheys cannot bs denied to those who have been compelled by the Legislature to violate the law. There are many argum en t s i n f avour o f M r . W o rtley's Bill, and many replies to objections urged spinet it, upon which I have not attempted to touch. I have simply endeavoured to show f rom m y own ease t h e hardship of the existing law, as well as its absurdity in a practical point of view, and its utter inefficiencv to accomplish the object which it c o n t em pl ates . I -now conclude, as I commenced, by assuring you of the warm and heart.elt gratitude entertained by myself, and all those situated like re) self, fur your untiring exertions in our behalf.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Feb. 13, 1851.

The fair bride was attended to the altar by a brilliant group of bridesmaids, in costumes of exquisite taste. Several relatives and friends, who in tended joining the circle, were prevented doing so by the noble families of Somerset, Scott, and Vansittart being re cently thrown into mourning. Among those present were the Lady Margaret Bourke, the youthful Lady Maria Scott (niece to the bride), the Honourable Cordelia and Jane Colborne, Miss De Salis, and Miss Fleming. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Harris, brother-in-law to Lady Seaton. At its conclusion, the happy pair proceeded to Deer-park, the residence of Lord Seaton, in Devonshire. The. company, among whom we noticed Lord and Lady Seaton, the Earl and Countess of Mayo, Lord and Lady Naas, Viscount and Viscountess Ponsonbv, the Countess of Clonmel, Honourable Henry Law, Lord de Tabley, Viscount Massareen, the Countess of Arundel, &c., afterwards partook of a splendid dejeuntr at Farrance's Hotel. The health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by the Earl of Mayo, and drunk with enthusiasm. THE MERCANTILE MARINE ACT.—The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have caused the Commissioners of Customs to be furnished with an approved scale of medicines fa merchant ships, issued by their Lord ships under the 64th section of the Mercantile Marine Act, and have at the same time caused them to be informed that no regular medical inspectors have as yet been appointed by their Lordships under that Act, and that it is not intenied to appoint any immediately, and that there is therefore no present reason for dispensing with such services in respect of medicines as officers of the Customs have hitherto been ac customed to render for the purpose of preventing an evasion of the law. In pursuance of this communication from the Lords of Privy Council for Trade, the Commissioners of the Customs have caused notice thereof to be transmitted to the collectors and comptrollers, and other principal officers of the department at the several ports of the kingdom fur their information and future government. MR. ANCTEY AND HIS CONSTITUENT..—It would elver that the constituents of Mr. Anstey are anything but satisfied with his distinction between the Court and Church of Rome. On Sunday last a meeting of the body was held, when it was unanimously resolv e d Cu call upon him to re sign. The resolution was embodied in an address to the Honourable Gentleman, in which they state that.—" We need not remind you of your advocacy of coercion even against those of our countrymen whose principles you had publicly adopted, nor of your total indifference to the cause of legislative independence for Ireland on the occa sions on which that question has been introduced in the House of Commons. But the act by which you have tor felted our confidence for ever, is your advocacy of penal measures against the Catholic hierarchy of England, and your support of a Minister, who, having already awakened a fell spirit of religions bigotry in this country, now seeks by legislative enactments to violate the rights of man, and suppress liberty of conscience. Under these circum stances we feel it our bounden duty to desire that you will at once resign the representation of this borough ; we need not remind you of the distinct promise you made here that you would do so whenever your constituents would require Ir." GA!s FROM WATER.—It would ;Mar that we are on the eve of a luminous revolution, And, in common with the rest of the cntpire, they lieges of Belfast, who have as little disinclination as most men to cheap prices, have a prospect 'of getting their town well lighted (which, by the way, will be a novelty), at a very low rate indeed. All our readers have heard of the reported invention of a plan for making gas from water. The gas so produced is said. to give more heat, and far more brilliant light, than coal gas; and its cost, we are given to undhstand, will be very much less. A patent has been taken out in these counties by a Mr. Shepard, who states that his gas not only an swers for lighting purposes, and even for heating and gene rating steam, but will also, from its expansive nature, be as powerful au agent in propelling machinery as steam itself. We learn from the Times, that "one or two of the principal railway companies have lately entered into an arrange ment with Mr. Shepard, who has patented an invention for the decomposition of water, and negotiations are pending with some steamboat and gas companies for the applica tion of this patent to propel steamboats; locomotives, and other engines, by which the cost of working machinery, and generating gaS, is likely to be greatly reduced." At the coming exhibition we hope to have an opportunity of te:ting the merits of this wonderful invention.—Northern Whig.

They must be sent open at the sides, the same as neospapers. TILE DET CTIVE POLICE.—It was only a few days since that we had occasion to compliment the officers of this force for the remarkable ingenuity they invariably dispiny in tracing out offenders of every grade in crime. A very striking instance of their efficiency occurred yesterday in the capture of a man charged with the commission of a desperate mur der at Warrington, in Lancashire, a short time since. The prisoner is an Irishman, named Patrick Lyons, and after his commission of the crime with which he stands charged in formation was forwarded to the Dublin police-officers, by some of whom the fellow was well-known, to the effect that he had enlisted into the service of the East India Com pany. One of the Dublin officers, named Thomas Kavanagh, was immediately set upon his track, and soon traced him to London, where he ascertained that he had arrived by the mail train at four o'clock yesterday morning. Kavanagh at once communicated with Mr. Mayne, the Chief Commis sioner, who immediately directed Inspector Field, of the de tective force, to render all the assistance in his power to the Dublin officer. Mr. Field, with Sergeant Thornton, of the detectives, having made some inquiries, very soon traced the prisoner to a public-house in Charles-street, Westminster , where the officers succeeded in apprehending the fellow yes: terday afternoon, just as he was sitting down to enjoy a g,e_o_ . ! dinner. The prisoner was at once conveyed to ain station, and will to-day be sent down to Warringerionwin ‘ee would tody of Kavanagh, the Dublin officer. have been sent to Worley-barracks to-day h officers suc embarkation for the East Indies, had not t Tphreeepairatory to his ceeded in effecting his apprehension. t a ppears that the SEAMEN'S REGISTER TICKETOB.e provisions of the New seamen still refuse to comply with the shipping of crews, Mercantile Marine Act whichijetaLatoy be well, hower(r, to and to the register sBreecgtion ot the Merchant Seamen's register- ticke ts . state, that under the ister-ticket involves a penalty Act, the ,ithholdinfe o L f tee of Seamen's Association of V/. ; and as tlie .

The crime, as will be seen from the details subjoined. is one of a very atrocious character, and was perpetrated under circumstances of peculiar daring. In broad daylight an aged inoffensive couple were set upon in their own house, and within a stone's throw of seve• ral of their neighbours, by ruffians, who we are happy to state have since been secured, and such was the mur derous nature of the attack that one of them only sur vived a few hours, and of the recovery of the other but very slight hopes are entertained. From a lengthened inquiry entered into on Tuesday the foll ow i ng narrat i ve of facts was elicited:— It appears that between nine and ten o'clock on Sa turday last two man, named John Wiles and John Smith, entered the house of Mr. William Wilkins, who kept what is termed a general shop at Nempnett, and asked for a loaf of bread. While Mrs. Wilkins turned to reach it, the elder man, Wiles, struck her over the head with an iron shod stick which he carried with him. He then rushed upon her husband, and making use of very bad language, also struck him over the head seve ral times, and seizing a spade which was in a cor ner of the room dealt him several blows with this likewise—the younger man, Smith, at the time keeping watch at the door. Having rendered the aged couple insensible they cut off the pocket of Mrs. Wilkins from her gown, and took from it the small quantity of silver it contained—eight shillings. a half.crowa, and a six pence. They then went to the shop, took several pack ages of tobacco and a loaf of bread, and made off. Soon afterwards, some of the neighbours on going in were horrified at discovering Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins 1) tug on the floor in a pool of blood. An eutcry was raised, and a messenger dispatched for medical assistance; and, on arriving, the surgeoh found Mr. Wilkins suffering from a fracture of the skull, and blood was flowing pro fusely from an artery at the left side of the head. the artery he secured and stopped the bleeding, but it soon became evident that concussii n el the brain bad taken place, and ift a few hours he expired. Mrs. Wilkins had also received several severe wounds in the head, which were dressed, and she was put to bed. In the meantime a man named Thomas Radford, who had seen the two men, Wiles and Smith, coming from the spot soon after the murder was commit►ee', tracked their foot steps from the house and followed them to Blagdon, where he found them in a public-house eating and drink ing, and gave them into custody. On the elder prisoner, Wiles, besides some money, was found a knife, which has since been identified by Mrs. Wilkins as her property. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins were over 70 years of age. On Tuesday an inquest was commenced on the body of the deceased, before Mr. Uphill, one of the coroners for the county of Somerset, and adjourned for a post mortem examination of the body to be made. The two prisoners were then examined before one of the county magistrates, Mr. W. J. Addington, of Langford-court; and the following is the most material evidence that was adduced:— Mrs. Wilkins, who made her deposition at her own house, in the presence of the two prisoners, stated—" I am the widow of William Wilkins. About 8 o'clock on Saturday morning the prisoner came to our house. Wiles asked fur a loaf of bread. Knowing him I did not give him any. He then asked the younger man (the prisoner Smith) for money to pay for the loaf. The younger man said, ' I have not got any money.' The elder man (Wiles) then struck me with a stick. As far as I could see, it was a stick with two iron caps' on it. Then he went and caught hold of my husband, and struck him with it a great many times, and at the same • time made use of very rough language, and afterwards struck him with the spade. The younger prisoner stood by the door just coming into the house. My husband was sitting on the bench in the corner of the room. The elder prisoner (Wiles) struck him two or three times while he was standing, and then dragged him out on top of me. He then struck him several times with the brass Italian iron produced. I had scoured it in the morning, and there were no bruises on it then. I can swear the two prisoners were the same men, for I had seen the elder prisoner before. He worked for some days at Mr. Highstt's, the carpenter's shop; he worked as a blacksmith. The knife produced is my property; it was in my pocket the morning the prisoner came. I have Lad it for the last twenty years. When I had it first there was a piece of silver in the handle, with my name on it, but I believe this was worn out. I believe there were two half-crowns in my pocket, but I could not swear to this. I cannot say whether the younger prisoner struck any blows, seeing he was on the door step. I cannot say whether he came in or not. Wiles struck my husband with The spade when he was sitting in the corner, but afterwards, when he was down on the ground, he struck him with the iron short thing. Cress-examined by Wiles—l did not follow you out with the loaf further than the door of the passage. I thought you were going to have the bread. Benjamin Cox, constable, deposed —I saw Wiles after he was in custody. I said to him, " A halter-will be your doom." He said, " I think it ill—it is a bad job." Wiles contradicted this. He admitted that he had said it was a bad job, but not that he thought a halter would be his doom. James Clark, constable, of Blsgdon, deposed that the prisoners were given into his custody on Saturday, be tween 12 aid 1 o'clock in the afternoon. He :matched them and found four packages of tobacco in Wiles's hat, and in his trousers' pocket be found two pieces of paper with tobacco loosely tied up, also a pair of spectacles. He also found on him a half-crown and other silver amounting to ss. On Smith he found ss. in silver, a halfpenny, a blaek•lead pencil, and two pit ecs of sealing- Wax. Thomas Jackman Hawkins, surgeon, of Compton Martin, deposed that he was called in to see tbe de ceased about 2 o'clock ou Saturday last. He found him and his wi'e in a state of f,.ver, arising from th e i r loss of blood and their wounds. Each cf them bad, several wounds, which seemed to have been made by a hcavy instalment. When be went to the cottage an artery at the side of the head of the old man was bleeding. It was on the h-ft side of his bead. He secured the artery and stopped the bleeding. ',l',lie r wounds in the head of the deer ated were lacerated oaes, and he had many violent contuaionr, especially on the left side of the head. Witnos thought he would have died immediately. He gave him stimulants, and ho rallied a little. He lingered till ten o'clock at night, when he died. He was not sensible all the time. lie had no doubt that death was caused by the blows and the loss of bleed. The wounds appeared to bare been recently made—be should say some two or three hours before he saw them. There must have been concussion of the brain to have produced insensibility. The loss of blood, judging from what be saw about the room, must have been very considerable. Ho should say concussion of the brain and loss of blood niust. have been the cause of death. On examination of the wife, Sarah Wilkins, he found a very severe wound on the top part of her head; it was cut in two planes. If sbe had not put her hand up to save her bead her skull must have been broken. The skull was depressed from the violence of the blow. She had other bruises. There were cuts over both her eyes, sod the wounds appeared to have been in dieted with a blunt instrument. Her right shoulder was also very severely bruited. She was now in very great danger. The spade appeared to have been used sideways from the cut!. 'rho following confession has been made by the pri soner Smith:—" We came up to the house on Saturday morning last—Wiles and the I mean -,u p to Wilkins 'a house. Wiles, coming up said, 6 ltis a little shop, and there are only two old people living there, and,' he said, I will go in and get something before I come out again.' This was between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morn ing. Wiles went to the door and asked for a loaf; a woman's voice answered him inside, but I did nct hear what she said. He turned round to me and said in a low tone of voice, • There is a man sitting in there at his breakfast, and it will not do now.' Then he asked for 6d., and I said, I have not got one.' Wiles said to me, 6 What did you send me on such a fool's errand for, then?' This was said loud enough for the woman to hear. ViNt then both of us walked away; we went across the fields to a certain house to try and get some , bread. I did not go with him into the house, but I stood in the road, and Wiles told me be had got a bit of brt ad at one of the places. We had then been "" - -- -- eta ut three quarters of an hour away from *ll- kins's house, and then Wiles said •'I will go back there, the man must have gone out from breakfast to his week . have by this,' and he added, ' I will go in, ande then came I ill something betote I come out again.' W e a few halfpence in and said, ' Now, mistress,:l f h , fiveg , h v : i li s rd the t a heold Whin the blown took down the road as far as Wilkins's liouset, and Wiles went and I am some back for the loa f ' man scream 'Murder' I w ent de. i place I was on the outsidei' _ n. I took the spade out of beat ing the old man with i llt k • up an Italian-iron lying his hand, and then he him with that, and he struck the close by, and struc k wWbeilels m i s tress too. He struck the wife with it the last. This A her straight on the floor, and then he blow knock e e - r g own stud broke her pocket off. Before I turned o u- she was on her hands and knees trying to that blow „,, in rned to go out of the house , _ and I saw g" - r' o the shop. He took up a loaf, and then Wiles go what he did Ido not know, for I w a lk e d on and he came a f te r me. Ido not know what he did with the pocket; I believe he left it in the house, for I never saw the pocket after he was out of the house. After this, going down the fields towards IJpley, we began talking, and Wilea said, ' I have got a little money, but it is but a little.' I-ie took cut eight shillings, a half-crown, and a sixpence, and he gave me ss. 6d. and said 'There is half of it for you.',lie had also two bits of tobacco, 'suppose it must have been half -ounce's before they were opened. This is all I have to say." The evidence, with the exception of that of Mrs. Wil kins, and oho the confession of Smith, was taken at school-roi •in of the village. The iron short instrument ernus used by Wiles was produced; it is a most murderous co weapon, .and both it and the spade ware oomp l ote l Y lose of the in vered with blood.
