lariss, hi wlsbad to ask whether it is the intention of
Government to raise the salaries of the ill-paid, over-
worked army surgeons that are now employed with the
army in the East and hospitals at Scutari?
Mr. PEEL said there was no intention to increase the
pay, as army surgeons were entitled to half-pay, and
other privileges, when not in service, which were not
enjoyed by the civilians.
MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S
SISTER.

them to the trenches, After he was wounded he was
conveyed by the ambulance corps on a stretcher. The
ambulance waggons were by no means comfortable—they
were not easy, and were very inconvenient.] There was
a great deal of sickness in his regiment before the bat-
tle of Inkerman, chiefly diarrhoea.
By Mr. Ellice —He was taken to Scutari Hospital,
where he was 27 days, and experienced great kindness.
He came to England in the Talavera. It was fitted up
with very good accommodation.
By Sir J. Pakington—His arm was amputated in con-
sequence of a musket shot. It was taken off the same
evening.
By Mr. Bramstone— A good many men fell out owing
to illness during the march. He never noticed how the
French prepared their coffee.
By Mr. Ball—The men ate a good deal of fruit in Bul-
garia, but they were cautioned against doing so by a
general order.
By the Chairman—No winter clothing had been given
out to the troops when he left. The men were in a very
dirty conditior.
Shortly before four o'clock the committee adjourned
until to-morrow at the usual time.

Mr. HEYWOOD moved for leave to bring in a bill
o amend the law as to marriage with a deceased wife's
sister or a deceased's wife's niece. Having touched upon
the historical part of the subject, the hon. member stated
that since 1831, when the act prohibiting these mar-
riages was passed, it was calculated that 12,000 widow-
ers had married their deceased wife's sister, and therefore
allowing three children to each family, it gave 60,000
persons who were unjustly dealt with by the existing
law. It was said, however, that there was a large body
of ladies in this country who were opposed to such mar-
riages, but he did not believe it ; he thought the ladies
of England were quite disposed to leave the men to take
what course they liked best in the matter. (A
laugh.) The fact was, the existing law gave rise to
much immorality, because those who were prohibited
from marrying by the existing law did not hesitate to
cohabit together, particularly amongst the lower orders.
These marriages were legal on the continent and in
America, and it certainly argued ill for the
civilization of this country that we were behind
almost the rest of the world in this respect. The
Jews recognised these marriages ; so, indeed, did
the Scriptures, and there could be no doubt
that their prohibition was a curse to society. As, how-
ever, there was a great deal of prejudice in the northern
part of the kingdom upon this subject, he was quite
ready to leave Scotland out of the bill altogether. The
origin of the prohibition could be traced to the Greek
Church. The Roman Church copied it from
the Greek, and we had copied it from the
Romans ; but there was no competent authority for it
which men of sense ought to bow to, and since the pro-
hibition was contrary alike to the law of conscience and
the law of nature, he hoped he should be permitted to
bring in his hill.
Mr. KINNAIRD seoonded the motion.
Sir F. THESIGER opposed the introduction of the
bill. The question was not new, either to the house
or the country ; it had been thoroughly discussed, on
former occasions, in both Houses of Parliament,
and the details now offered in justification of reopening
the question were insignificant and inconclusive. He
agreed that this was a woman's question, and h' believed
the feeling of the ladies of England was opposed to any
alteration in the existing law. No less than 11,000
women petitioned the Queen against the change when
the subject was last before Parliament ; and believing that
the same feeling of opposition still prevailed he must
resist this attempt to reopen the question. The com-
mission which formerly sat upon this subject permitted
themselves to become the instruments of those who
were favourable to an alteration of the law, and
who had been mainly instrumental in procuring
the appointment of the commission, and the conse-
quence was, the ifreponderence of the evidence was in
favour of a change in the law. The majority of the wit-
nesses, however, were directly and personally interested
in obtaining the change, but the other side of the ques-
tion, appealing not to a class but to everybody, it
met the fate of everybody's business nobody
looked after it. There could be no doubt, however,
that both the jealousy of the laity and the clegry was
averse to any change in the law. It was incorrect to say
this was a poor man's question. Had it been merely
a poor man's question he feared it would not
have been taken up with so much spirit. The
fact was, however, that marriages of this descrip-
tion had been exceedingly unfrequent amongst the
lower classes. He objected to resorting to legisla-
tion for the sake of relieving parties who had knowingly
violated the law, not in ignorance of the law, but with
their eyes open, and fully aware of the illegality of the
marriage they had contracted. He deeply regretted the
diversity of opinion which prevailed upon the religious
part of this question ; his own opinion was that the 18th
chapter of Leviticus directly prohibited these marriages,
and, therefore, so far from the Jewish law being in favour
of these marriages, it was diametrically opposed to them.
[LEFT SPEAKING.]

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills were considered and ordered to be
read a third time :—Carabridge University and Town
Water ; Lands Improvement Company ; Over Darwen
Gas; Pudsoy Gas; Taunton Gas; Woolwich Consumers
Protective Gas.

On the motion for the second reading of the Torquay
District Church Bill,
Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE moved that the bill be
read a second time that day six months, urging that
there were existing public acts which could amply pro-
♦ide for the deficiencies complained of in this bill. The
preamble stated no ground whatever why this peculiar
species of private legislation should be applied to the Tor-
quay district,and he hoped the house would not sanctionthe
second reading, especially as it would give enormous
privileges to the trustees nominated in the bill. Besides,
the 16th section of the bill gave.power to levy church rates
in respect to the churches to be erected under the bill, and
thathethought was a fatal objection to the passing of this
bill, if there was not the additional objection that the ex-
penses of the bill were to be paid out of the pew rents
of the proposed new churches. The bill savoured
strongly of a private job ; the new things which it con-
tained were not true,-and the true things were net new.
Mr. HADFIELD seconded the amendment, believ-
ing that the bill was perfectly unnecessary, as was fully
demonstrated by the fact that eleven of its c!auses were
copied from existing acts.
Mr. BOUVERIE proposed that the consideration
of the bill should be postponed until Thursday,
as the hon. baronet who had charge of the bill was un-
able to be present to-day. (No, no.) The object of
the bill was to enable Sir Lawrence Palk and his sou,
who was a member of the house, to erect new churches
in Torquay, where they were very much wanted.
These gentlemen would create a rent charge of 1501. for
the purpose of endowing the churches. It was asked,
why do not the promoters proceed under the Church
Building Act ? For this simple reason—the Church
Building Act provided that the pew rents should
be applied, in the first instance, to the pay-
ment of, the clergyman's stipend, but here the
stipend was otherwise provided for, and the real object
of this bill was to sanction the appropriation of the pew
rents, in the first instance, to meet the claims of the
mortgagees who might be disposed to lend money for the
purpose of building the churches. He moved that the
debate be adjourned until Thursday.
Sir J. 'VILLIERS, being the ewner of property in
the neighbourhood of Torquay, could speak from experi-
ence of the necessity that existed in the district for ad-
ditional church accommodation.

After a few words from Mr. T. BUNCOMBE, the
house divided on the motion for adjournment, when
there appeared—
For the adjournment ll9
Against it

The debate was accordingly adjourned until Thursday
next.

ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM-

MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.)

(Continued from our first edition.)

Captain Kellett, in continuation, said—Subsequently
he was sent by Lord Raglan to Varna for pack-horses,
and a portion of the ambulance corps, whom be con-
veyed to the Crimea. The men were old pensioners,
very much given to drinking, and were not, in his opi-
nion, fit for such service. They were unable to attend
to th 3 horses ; and on several occasions required the as-
sistance of his crew. At one time when he was in the
Bosphorus, Admiral Boxer ordered a quantity of char-
coal to be put on board for the use of the troops. On
arriving at-Balaklava, however, Captain Christie would
not allow it to be landed, although he (witness) offered
to put it on shore with his own ship's company.
Chairman—What did you do with it ?
Witness, in rep►y, said he took it Lackwards and for-
wards to Constantinople two or three times, and as Cap-
tain Christie persisted in refusing it, he eventually con-
signed it back again to Admiral Boxer. He saw no de-
pots for stores at Balaklava. The anchor age there was
very bad, and was in an intolerably filthy condition.
He would have undertaken to have cleansed it in a very
short time. The quays were very discreditable. He
could hardly say who was responsible for the condition
of the harbour.

Cbairman—Were there any regulations relative to
anchorage in the inter for of the hat hour ?

Witness—l believe none at all. He should say the
harbour could have contained at least 50 vessels.
Several vessels, to his knowlAge, were detained in the
discharge of their cargoes. He thought the regulation
that vessels should lie with their bows to the quay was
ridiculous. Many more vessels might have been accom-
modated inside the harbour. Capt. Christie frequently
came on board his vessel, and he acted under the imme-
diate superintendence of Captai❑ Christie, and con-
sidered he was completely dependent upon him for
orders, though he should have obeyed any directions
given him by Admiral Dundas or Admiral Lyons. He
(witness) was of opinion that a very efficient force might
have been organised for cleaning the harbour ; and he
was of opinion that some of the ships' crews in the har-
bour, who were not employed, would have volunteered
to do the work had they been offered pay for the duty.
He was never in want of medicines, or stores of any
kind, on board his vessel. When any sick died on
board his vessel at first, he preferred paying their re-
mains proper respect by taking them on shore to bury
them ; but when they died of cholera, or any infectious
disease, of course they mere thrown into the sea.
Mr. Drummond—Are you aware that orders were
issued by Captain Christie to the effect that no vessels
should enter the harbour, except a particular signal was
disph.yed ?
Witness—That was after I left I believe. I heard
such was the case.

By the Chairman—The Himalaya conveyed sick and
wounded on her road home to Malta.
Lieutenant-Colonel Sparkes, of the 38th Regiment,
was then called. He said that his regiment was landed
at Gallipoli on the 14th May last. On lauding in the
Crimea they had no tents, and his men suffered con-
siderably in consequence. On arriving before Sebastopol
the duty in the trenches fell very heavily on the men.
They had a very fair supply of provisions, including
fresh meat, of which he thought they had more than
salt. The men were attacked by scurvy, which he at-
tributed to the wet and exposure to the weather.
Chairman—Had you never any winter clothing sup-
plied to them before you left ?
Witness replied that some warm apparel was being
served out to them when he left. That was about Dec.
The clothing and the boots were of good quality. He
thought they were tolerably well provided for the
winter. At the time he left there was not a regular
supply of fresh meat, but the men were served with it
now and then. They also had some lime juice and rice
given to them.

PETITIONS.
Mr. LOCKE KING presented a petition from the
freeholders of East Surrey for an alteration of the law
of settlement.
Mr. A. PELLATT presented two petitions in favour
of the Friendly Societies Bill ; and one from the coopers
of the metropolis, and the other from the glass-cutters
of Manchester.
Mr. HADFIELD presented a similar petition from
the Shoemakers' Society of Sheffield to the same effect.
Mr. WICKHAM presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Shipley, in the parish of Bradford, and from
Windhill, in the parish of Calverley, West Riding of
Yorkshire, praying for the total prohibition of the sale
of intoxicating liquors on Sundays.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from a
public meetinT held in the provinces in favour of the
snore vigorous prosecution of the war.
Mr. H. BERKELEY presented a petition from the
trade societies of Bristol in favour of the Friendly Socie-
ties Bill.
Mr. HEYWOOD presented six petitions from clergy-
men of the Church of England in and near the metro-
polis, in favour of the legalisation of marriage with the
Mater of a deceased wife.

Mr. SCHOLEFIELD asked the Secretary of th
Treasury, whether any measures are under censiderati:,
for increasing the salaries of the provincial letter-carriers?
Mr. WILSON said the pay had been increased in
the case of Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Bris-
tol, and an inquiry was now going on as to the expe-
diency of making a similar iucreae in Birmingham and
other large towns.

Witness—Yes, he was very attentive to his duties.
The hospitals were vet), full when they arrived, but
houses were afterwards provided for the sick and
wounded. There was, he thought, a sufficiency of me-
dical men attached to the regiment, but there was a de-
ficiency of medicines. Some of the tents were old. [The
evidence of this witness was almost inaudible.]
Thomas Dawson, a private in the Grenadier Guards
(who bad lost his left arm in action) was next
examined. He said he joined his regiment in Bulgaria
in July last year. The weather was very warm at that
period of the year, and disease had broken out. The
tents were not well adapted to that kind of weather as
they were very close, especially at night, unless the folds
were lifted up, which could not be done in wet weather.
They were fairly supplied with provisions including fresh
meat—but they did not have that every day. They had
coffee, but they preferred tea. The former was quite
green, and they had to resort to various methods of roast-
ing it. The bread was very good. When the men
marched down to Varna to embark they were in a very
sickly, low state. Many had died of sickness be-
fore then. The passage to the Crimea occupied
about fifteen days, and sickness somewhat diminished.
