APATHY TOWARDS THE CHURCH-RATE

QUESTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES

Stit,—l was grieved and surprised to hear stated, on
what I fear 'is but too reliable authority, that the
numerous petitions which have gone up from this
diocese against the abolition of Church-rates were
almost exclusively from the Arclideaconry of Liverpool.
Surely the question at issue equally affects the other
Archileaconry. I trust that this reproach may be at once
'wiped away,by its taking prompt and vigorous action.
It is to be hoped that no section of the Church of E 4.-
land will allow itself to be branded with indifference in
a struggle whose issues are so momentous.—Youts, &c.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S

SISTER.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY TIMES.
Sin,—Reading the Daily limes the other day I was
greatly amused when I saw an advertisement stating
that " 1,000 married women were wanted immediately
at the Ake of the lirirpoo/ Mail to sign petitions to
Parliament,: forbidding their fond husbands consoling
themselves with their own • sisters-in-law in the shape
of a second wife,' under the excuse of affection, and
soforth, for nephews and nieces." What a concatenation
of relations would be the result—not favourable to
domestic comfort in after life. Surely our English
married women will never consent to see the daughter
of one united to her own brother or her husband's
brother, on the payment of a certain sum, depending
upon circumstances? The indignant answer is—never.
Stop awhile. Let your husbands marry your sisters
`when you die, and we will live to see your own children
marry your brother or brother-in-law. I will conclude
by asking—out of 1,000 married women how many are
there who would willingly consent that their sisters
sl.oAla supply their places when they die ?
• Trusting married ladies will read the above with
attention, and act promptly on the occasion, is the wish
of yours, &c., NON-CONSENT.

Liverpool so excessively honest that he puts all his
flower-pots out over nights, so determined is he that
everything shall have " its dew."

lately been very ill, but is now quite recovered, will
proliably be a candidate for the representation of Milan
