emphatically that there was nothing in Scripture or socially
which should stand in the way of such marriages. He
looked upon this as a poor man's question. Amongst those
who were in his employ he knew that the law was syste-
matically set at defiance. He thought the house would do
well to the country at large by passing the bill at once. A
great parade had been made of the meeting at Willis's
Rooms. Being anxious to hear what could be said at the
meeting he went there and was refused admission, because
he was not provided with a ticket. (Laughter.)
Mr. LYGON said that tickets were sent to the secretary
of the Marriage Law Reform Society, whose members
might have been present if they pleased.
Mr. DENMAN considered that it was unnecessary and
unfair to keep up the present restrictions, and that the law
ought to be altered. He laelieved there was nothing to be
found in Scripture opposed to these marriages.
Mr. WHITESIDE did not believe that the bill would
receive the sanction of the house. The bill excluded Scot-
land and Ireland, and it would be highly undesirable to
have conflicting laws on marriage in a united
kingdom. He wished the law officers of the Crown would
explain the legal difficulties which arose ; but these gentle-
men were always present when they were not wanted, and
always absent when their services might be useful.
Mr. M. MILNES was surprised to hear the right hon.
and learned gentlemen fresh from his experiences in Ireland
arguing from parity of marriages there.
The house divided—

SPORTING

The result of the races at Newmarket has settled the pre-
tensions of several of the candidates for Two Thousand
and Derby honours. The success of Russley in the Third
Biennial has given an increased tone of firmness to Dundee
in the Derby quotations, and Sweet Hawthorn in the Two
Thousand. If Sweet Hawthorn is better at the weights
than Russley, it is no use looking further for the winner.
The Thirsk meeting commences to-morrow and extends
over Friday, but, clashing as it does with the Newmarket
meeting, it will not be so largely patronised as it otherwise
would have been. The industry and tack of Mr. Lancaster,
the clerk of the course, is at once seen on a glance at his
well-filled list, the entries to the Hambleton and Sowerby
Plates, the Mowbray Stakes, the Hunt Cup, and the Thirsk
Handicap being very large.

The Hambleton Plate has an entry of 44, the following
appearing the most favourably handicapped, namely :
Walkington, Bst 51b ; Cambondo, 7st 51b ; Miss Dunstable,
7st 41b ; Lopcatcher (including Sib extra), 7st ; and Ber-
nice, Est 121 b. One of these ought to furnish the winner.
My preference for them being in the order named.
In the Sowerby Plate, Hegira, Bab-at-the-Bowster, and
Charing Cross appear the most favourably weighted; and
Repartee or Birdlime ought to win the Mowbray Stakes.
The Thirsk Handicap has 49 subs. Amongst those that
take my attention are Syringe, 4 yrs, Bst 31b ; Brown Hol
land, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Walkington, 4 yrs, 7st Sib ;
Desmond, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Malpas, 4 yrs, 7st 41b ; and Lop-
catcher, 3 yrs, Est 41b. One of them, no doubt, will fur-
nish the winner, and the one I have most fancy for is
Syringe, the next in my estimation being Walkington. The
Silver Cup will be won by Dilkoosh.

STATISTICS OF OYSTERS IN FRANCE.—The
last investigation into the state of the. oyster-beds of,
Brieuc, carried on by members of the Council
direction -
General of the Department, under the of the
Captains of the Chamois, Pluvier, and Eveil, of the
:French navy, placed by the government at the disposition of
the commissioners chargedto carry on the work of inspec-
tion, have given results that have far surpassed the most
sanguine expectations of the advocates of the new system.
Every time the drag was applied it brought up over 2,000
oysters ; and each of the three fascines of row No. 10, sunk
in 1859, and just brought up for examination, was found to
fontain 20,000 young oysters, from three to five centimetres
in diameter. These fascines, exhibited in various towns of
Brittany, created universal amazement, and will probably
lead to the establishment of many new beds.—Ono a Week.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-7(l'ms DAY.)

The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock.
LORD PALMERSTON.

Lord PALMERSTON, who was introduced by Sir
G. Grey and the Lord Advocate, took the oaths and his
seat for Tiverton. The noble lord was received with
cheers from both sides of the house.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.

Several petitions were presented in favour of legalising
marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and some to the
contrary, the former considerably preponderating.
THE MONUMENT BEFORE WESTMINSTER
SCHOOL.

Colonel FRENCH asked the Chief Commissioner of
Works if his attention had been directed to the monument
now in progress of erection at the entrance to Westminster
School, and inquired if he had any power to prevent such
erection ?

Mr. COWPER said that the act relating tip such subjects
required that before erecting statues in public places the
consent of the Commissioners of the Board of Works should
be consulted. This had not been done, but at the same
time as the omission was made in ignorance of the
law, no oppOsition would be offered on the part
of the Commissioners in question. Certainly if he
had been consulted he would have hesitated before
giving his assent to anything so incongruous as placing
mediseval statues on classic columns.

DOCKYARDS, &c.

Sir F. SMITH gave notice tht on Tuesday next he
would call the attention of the house to the subject of her
Majesty's dockyards, and to move that it was not expedient
to expend the whole of the money that had been voted for
the purposes of the Admiralty.

CITY CONMIS'SION OF SEWERS.

Yesterday, at a meeting of the City Court of
Sewers, held at Guildhall, Deputy Christie in the
chair, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer, reported on
the state of 191 houses that had been inspected
during the week, and he submitted a list of 134
places for sanitary improvement. He likewise
reported that the officers had seized 1,7781 b. of meat
as unfit for human food. About two-thirds of this
were seized in Newgate-market, by Messrs. Fisher
and Newman, and the remainder in Leadenhall-
market, by Mr. Davidson ; 880Ib. were diseased,
511 b putrid, and 8471 b. from animals that had died
from natural causes ; it consisted of 26 sheep, 2
calves, 6 quarters of beef, and 26 other joints. All
of it had been destroyed as unfit for human food.
The mortality returns for the week were greatly
below the average for the season. Last week the
number of deaths was but 46, whereas the average
for the corresponding week of the last five years
was 58. Only 18 of the deaths were among children,
and 13 among old persons. There were 6 deaths
from consumption, 2 from pneumonia, and 11 from
bronchitis. Among the zymotic class of diseases
there were the returns of but 6 deaths—namely,
3 from whooping-cough, 2 from measles, and 1
from croup. There were no deaths from fever,
scarlet fever, small-pox, or diarrhoea. 73 births
were registered in the week—namely, the birth of
45 boys and 28 girls. The quantity of diseased meat
seized was the lowest in any one week for some
months past, and the change is attributed first of all
to the exposure in the newspapers of the nefarious
practice of offering such meat for sale, and then to
the recent conviction, to which that exposure mainly
led, of persons who had lent themselves to it. A
report from the General Purposes Committee, re-
commending the payment by the commissioners of
£l2O among the surviving relatives of the four un-
fortnnate men who lost their lives in the Fleet-lane
sewer on the 14th of February, was brought up
and agreed to. The committee stated that the
matters connected with the fatal accident in ques-
tion were still under inquiry by them. In the
meantime, having ascertained from the report of
their engineer that there is on the premises of
Messrs. Tyler, in Warwick-lane, a large shaft or
opening leading down to an old sewer, which has
an indirect communication with the sewers running
towards the Fleet, they considered it necessary that
all such irregular communications with the public
sewers should be destroyed, and they recommended
the Court to direct the engineer to have the shaft
in question closed up accordingly. The Court made
the necessary order. On the motion of Mr. De
Jersey it was referred to the General Purposes
Committee to consider and report upon the duties
of Dr. Letheby in connection with the Commission,
which are said to have been materially increased
since his appointment in 180. The Court then
adjourned.'

LEEDS-APRIL 16.

Our market to-day was poorly attended by millers, and
the trade in wheat was of a limited character. It is difficult
to say how prices rule ; a sale of fine foreign has been
effected at rather more money. Barley sells on former
terms. Beans quite as dear. Oats and other articles were
unaltered.

GREAT SOUTHERN OF INDIA.

The directors state in their report that the engi-
neer-in-chief anticipates that the line between Nega-
patam and Trivalore, 141 miles, will be ready for
opening in May, and the whole throughout to
Trichinopoly in September. Notwithstanding the
land was not obtained, and the works not actively
commenced until August, 1859, the railway will
be completed and equipped in the space of two
years—a result which must be considered very
satisfactory, especially is having been accom-
plished under the superintendence of the company's
officers, without the intervention of contractors.
During the year 1860 23 vessels were despatched
with permanent way materials and stores to the
value of £118,573, and since then the remainder of
the materials required for the compktiom of the
line has been forwarded. The directors confidently
believe that tho capital account of the first section
of the line, 80 miles in length, will be closed for a
sum not exceeding £7,000 per mile, and that the
traffic will be remunerative. They have appointed
Mr. W. S. Betts, of the Great Northern Railway,
to undertake the offices of agent and traffic manager
in India. Shares to the amount of £155,000 have
been converted into stock, and immediate steps
will be taken to consolidate the remainder. The
capital account showed that £416,142 had been
received, and £381,861 expended, leaying a, balance
Qf 434,2131.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus,
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—APRIL 16.
There was a fair attendance of the town and country
trade at this morning's market, and we had a moderate
business doing in both wheat and flour at Friday's prices.
Barley, oats, and oatmeal were a limited sale, but without
change in value. Beans and peas were steady, and fully
as dear. Indian corn in less inquiry, and the turn in favour
of buyers.

COUGFIS, ASTHMA, AND INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION ARE
EFFECTUALLY CURED BY

IC EATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.—
Dawlish, Jan. 14, -1858. Sir,—The very excellent pro-
perties of your lozenges induce me to trouble you with an-
other testimonial on their behalf. All loan say is that I have
been more or less consumptive for upwards of three years,
and have tried a gTeat number of lozenges to abate the cough,
but from none have I found such relief as from yours—even
one of them will check the most violent attack. They are in-
valuable, and I strongly recommend them to persons suffer-
ing from a cough or cold on the chest. Pray make any use of
this you please if worth your while. I am, sir, your obedient
servant, Abraham Turner. To Mr. Keating.—Prepared and

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemule it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

Mould be in the hands of young and old.' —" Sunday Times,"

little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age.';—" Daily Telegraph," March 27,18511.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications

bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it wilt be found valuable and useful."—Record.

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille Pre..,164
and the short exchange on London is 2,1.37} per £1 steel
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of to
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold
about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. „rIC.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per 1111.,,,,
and the short exchange on London is 13.64 per £1 stet l ;01
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, 8/3'
4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.l its git
The course of exchange at New York on London for 01'010
60 days' sight is 1t74 to 108 for first-class bills. Althouglim of
shows the exchange to be against England, the high ra"tbo
interest in both countries, and the loss of time before r it
gold is received back from the American Mints, reud:
doubtful if any profit can be made at the present rate
sending gold to the United States.

fishery extension and fish-market improvement
TUE DEEP SEA FISHING.—Mr. Dempster'
notoriefl'
has latterly made a tour from Edinburgh to NO"ils,tiliePe
calling at all fishing stations along the coast, urging' '-d
open boat fishermen to adopt decked welled vessels ofl
decked trawlers, the same that are used from the rier
Thames and the Humber for the deep sea fishings. 141::
Dempster sus—" The fishermen along the Northuulb.er
land coast are far behind in improvements, having nothili'
but slight shells of open cables to pursue their callitig:;
Within the last six years the fishermen at Eyemoutb. au
Burnmouth, Berwickshire, have built a new class of boater
decked fore and aft, for the winter white fishing. Thei
have now about fifty of such craft, which is a step towaraill
improvement in a right direction." Mr. Dempster says I,e
observed everywhere along the coast there is a watery,'
want of deep water harbours, where fishing vessels can lay
afloat at all times of tide. The harbours being all dry when
the tide is low, boats have to lay aground for several howl
out of every twelve, thereby preventing- the fishermen from
putting to sea at any time of tide it suited them.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITII'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties cx
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
