IMPORTANT NEWS of Silt JOHN
FRANKLIN. '

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE
ADMIRALTY.-(THIS DAY.)

With reference to the article in this day's Morning
Herald, in which it is stated " the writer of the letter
states that he had seen a gentleman from Ramschatka,
who informed him that he had seen Sir John Frank-
lin, that he and all his party were quite safe, and
coming through the North-West Passage," we have
been furnished with the following copy of a letter
from Mr. Samuel Peck to the Lords of the Admiralty,
by which it will be observed that no mention is made
of Sir John Franklin having been " SEEN" by any
one.

(Corr.)
TO THE LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY.
Liverpool, March 6, 1850.
MY LOltDs,—l hssten to give the intelligence
I have received regarding Sir John Franklin and his
expedition, which I believe to be the first, and I trust
will prove correct, as I can give full evidence to the
honour and truthfulness of the writer, my son.
Herewith a full extract of the letter, dated San
Francisco Bay, California, Sunday, Dec 30, 1849 : -
" There was a gentleman on board this ship yes-
terday that has just arrived from K tnschatka, with the
news of the discovery of Sir John Franklin and all
his party. They are all well, and have come through
the North-West Passage.
(Signed) " CHAS WILLIAM PECK."
My son writes from on board the English ship
Blakely, of Liverpool.
I trust, my Lords, that I shall have been the first
to give the intelligence of the missing expedition.
The truth or erroneous information conveyed by the
gentleman alluded to by my son, must shortly become
known.

I give also a postscript to my son's letter :

" P.S.—This is favoured by Captain Askew, late of
the barque Chillian, of London, who has kindly
offered to post it for me at Panama, to clear the
Yankee postage."—C. W. P.
I have, &c.,

THE LATE WAR IN HUNGARY.—.A. third edition
of the little volume entitled " Scenes of the Civil War
in Hungary, with the Ad►entures of an Austrian Officer
in the Army of the Ban of Croatia," has already made
its appearance. " This," says the Naval and Military
Gazette, "is a book of deep excitement—uf soul-har-
rowing interest." In allusion to the late civil war in
Ilungary, the 7'inies has remarked that " the recently-
quelled Hungarian rebellion has, in all its stages, excited
the most lively interest in all parts of Europe, and pro-
bably no where more than in England."
TEE HAlDlos—the Greek designation for " ever-
lasting"—has been given to a new black silk, which
during its manufacture has been the cause of the re-
moval of many difficulties hitherto considered insuperable.
It is well known to the producers of textile fabrics, that
it is a work of much mental and mechanical application
to obtain a plain silk fit fir general purposes, which
should at the same time posters the qualification of
novelty. In this instance such has been effected iu a
silk of great brilliancy of texture, with an assurance of
lasting wear, while it has the further claim of economy
of cost. The hue is said to be proof against acids and
sea-water. It has been registered under the above title
by the Messrs. Jay of Regent-street, who, we believe,
are ever emulous to obtain novelties adapted to the pecu-
liarities of their trade.—Post.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—OXFORD, MAR= i.—On
Monday se'nnight an accident occurred in this city,
which has since proved fatal to Mr, Edwin Giles Dau-
bony, a promising young man, in the prime of life, demy
of Magdalen College, and nephew of Dr. llaubeny Pro-
fessor of Chemistry, &c ,in this University. It appears,
from the evidence adduced at the coroner's inquest, yes-
terday, before Mr. George Valentine Cox, that the de-
ceased, in company with some friends, were on their re-
turn from Godstow, and while walking along the
unfinished Rugby and Oxford Railroad, near Boney's-
bridge, they heard one of their companions, who was in
a skiff, crying out for help; they immediately ran to his
assistance and extricated him and his boat, which had
got among the piles of the unfinished bridge, when, on
crossing a plank, one of them saw deceased lying amongst
some loose bricks underneath. He went to him, and
found that he was considerably injured. They after-
wards discovered that deceased, in (as they supposed, fur
it was almost dark) endeavouring to render assistance to
his friend in the skiff, missed his footing, and fell oEf the
plank, amongst some loose bricks, a distance of nearly
sixteen fret, and injured himself so' severely that death
ensued yesterday morning. A verdict of " Accidental
death" was returned.
DISCOVERY OF A GREAT LAKE.—A great lake has
been discovered in the interior of South Africa during
a journey of exploration by two gentlemen named Mur-
ray and Oswall. It is situated in longitude 24 deg. cast
and latitude 19 deg. south, and its limits appear to have
been undiscernible. According to the natives, however,
it takes twenty-five days to travel round it. The ve•gt -
tation on its banks is tropical, and palms are abundant,
but it contains no
crocodiles, alligators, or hippopotami.
It is approached b a river which for some distance is
y
of small size, and which, a; ,
it approaches the lake, be-
' comes as large as the Clyde. The lake itself has no
islands in it, but it is said that the re are many at the
mouth of the river, and that these are densely populated
by a race entirely different from tho=e near the borders
ofof the lake

elephants, although of a much smaller description than
those nearer the colony. The native?, whose language
was unlike any known dialect spoken by the other
tribes in South Africa, appeared to be of an inferior
nature, and to be much afflicted with pulmonary
disease.

LONDON IfosrlTAL.—Yesterday afternoon a quar-
terly general court of the governors of this charity was
held in the board-room of the institution, Mr. J. Davis
in the chair. The reports of the house committee, the
minutes of the previous meetings, and the household ex-
penditure of the hospital, having been read and con-
fimed, the secretary submitted the usual statement of the

numbers of patients, from which it appeared that the
total number admitted to the v girds cf the ho.pitai sauce
last quarter was 930, of horn there bare been dir charg
cured 448, much relieved 395, and $7 had died. The in
patients now on the books of the hospital are 329, the
cu:-patients, 1,796. =The repot acknowledged with
thanks the receipt of a legacy of 5001. stock in the Three
per Cent. Consols, from the eat tutors of the late Mrs.
Elizabeth Duncan, and one of 100/. in cash from the late
Mr. C. Bell. Among the donations was ore of 5L 4a. 4d.

TnE WALHALLA.— Madame 'Wharton's. exhibition
of Tableaux Yivans has recently excited's good deal of`
interest amongst painters, sculptors, and connoiseurs of
art, and her attractive gallery is nightly attended by
numerous and fashionable audiences. There is a clas-
sical purity about her poses, both in conception and
detail, that is really refreshing to the man of taste, villas
the beauty of the costumes and magnitude of the pe-
destal, gives a finish and delicacy to the entertainment
that renders any tendency to coarseness either of imagi-
tion or feeling utterly impossible.
ACCIDENT TO THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH WIRES.
—We understand that yesterday morning an accident
occurred by which about foul t ?en miles of telegraphio
wires sere thrown down, and the communication to that
extent interrupted. We believe the wires were not
coiled, as formerly, round fastenings on every fifth post,
but were stretched at considerable tension for a length of
fourteen miles. When a fracture occurred, the extreme
tension and consequent sudden contraction of the wire
caused it to run out of the grooves, and some a the
liberated wire, lying upon the rails, was caught by the
wheels of a train, and dragged away from the posts for
the remainder of the distance —Manchester Guardian.
The wretched woman, Elizabeth Bradford, in the
county gaol en the charge of drowning her children, is
somewhat recovered, but she is rot in a state, either
mentally or physically, to warrant her examination by
the justices.— Western Luminary.
POTATOES.—The enormous quantity of potatoes
lately brought into London from. the Continent his re-
duced the price from 90s. to 70s. per ton. As nista), as
5,000 tons have been imported within the last week,
principally from Dunkirk, Dieppe, Ostend, and Antwerp.
THE CASE OF ALLEGED INCENDIARISM
EXETER.—On Wednesday last Mr. Samuel Foote, who
is now confined in the City Prison, awaiting his trial, on
the charge of setting his house on fire, attempted to
commit suicide. He tied his silk neckerchief tightly.
round his neck, and, by fastening one end of it to tto
window frame of his cell, attempted to strangle himself.
He was discovered when life was almost extinct, cut
down, and by proper means restored.
LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.--The
half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday
in the large room of the Exchange, Manchester. Henry
Houldsworth, Esq., occupied the chair. The repent,
commending a dividend of 3 per cent., was agreed to,
after an amendment, fixing it at 2f per cent., had been
negatived by a large majority. The amount of dividend
actually earned was stated by the chairman to be two
and six tenths per annum. The meeting was proceeding
to discuss the question of the appointment of direettori
when our express left. Two or three special meetings
had to be subsequently held.
REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE.—•
Sarah Butt was on Wednesday charged before the police
magistrate at Richmond with attempting to drown her-
self. It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant POvery,
3 V, that on Saturday night, about eleven o'clock, hi
found the prisoner in Petersham Meadows, setae. two
miles from her home, standing by the side of a pool of
water which had alcumulated from the overflow of ' the
Thames. She had no bonnet on. and was in a most ex-
hausted state, and appeared to have been recently im-
mersed in the water. On questioning her she admitted
she had made three attempts to drown herself; and would
have made a fourth and final attempt in the river had
net the sergeant interfered. Her failure of success in
the preceding instances would appear to have arisen
from the shallowness of the water, beirg only two feet
deep. A certificate was produced, signed by a medical
man, stating that the unfortunate woman had become of
unsoued mind from an attack of the brain fever. The
husband promisine. the Magistrate that if Lis wife were
released he would take such care of her as to present a
similar attempt, she was discharged. Upon her artiv.il
at hemp, and a nurse having been procured, she was
conveyed to bed, and the nurse having imprudently left
her patient fur a short time, the unfortunate creature in-
stantly took vino t ige of her absence, and precipitated
erAelt from the firs.-floor window, by which act she
sustained injuries which will most probably terminate
fatsll3. Several of her ribs and collar-bone ate fractured,
and her spine is seriously injured.
EXPERIMENTAL BALL')ONS.—The lafg,St of the
balloons dispatched from the Admiralty, on Friday
last, carrying with it 2,500 slips, or messages, has been
very successful. The first lot of slips were liberated
over London at an elevation between 3,000 and 4,000
feet, and some of the slips fell in Lower T, amen-stredt,
some in Bethnal-green Cemetery, others were found on
the Surrey side of the water, and down the river side to
neer Greenwich, affording evidence that the first. lot
were scattered over an area of several miles. From the
numerous slips of paper returned to the Secretary of the
Admiralty from different places, the balloon appears to
have taken the direction of Woolwich, Gravesend, and-
Rochester, and then crossed fcr a short period into
E,sex, and again altered its course for Maidstone,
Cranbrook, and Dungeness, which it left in the direc-
tion of the French coast. In travelling to Dungeness,
according to the time it was seen there, it had dropped
1,200 of the slips, and 1,300 remained for further
tribution. Some of the parties who have returned the_ .
messages of the Admiralty have particularly retreated
to be informed whether ccit is all right," or •• if some
person has not been playing a joke upon them." One
lady states that her daughter found the slip of paper in
her garden, and she was confident it was not there the
night Lefore; but bow it came she did not know.

R EFuRM MEETING ♦T HADLEIGII.—A very spirited
and well-attended meeting took place at the Town hall,
Iladleikh, on Monday night; and that being a thorough
agricultural neighbourhood, many parties looked with
peculiar iLterest to its results. Mr. I. Everett, a landlord
and tenant-farmer, took the chair, and the large room
w„s well fill, d with respectable agriculturists and me-
chanics. Exactly a wcek be a protection society bad
been formed in the same town; but it would seem that
many of the farm( rs begin to think that financial and
Parliamentary rt form is a step in the right direction, fur
several who had joined the _Cory society attended the
reform gathering on Monday. The following resolution
was proposed to Mr. Thomas Hawkins, of Milden, a
tenant-farmer: That the principles of the National
Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association meet
the entire approval of this meeting, and that an associa-
tion be now formed, to be called the Iladleigh Parlia-
mentary Reform Association." The resolution met with
a unanimous and hearty reception. Mr. S. Matthews,
farmer, made an excellent speech on the reduction of tax-
ation, as the only measure likely to affect the interests
of the farmer. Mr. M•Enteer also addressed the meet-

ing, and atter a vote of thanks to him and to the chair-
man, three cheers were given fur the Financial Reform
Association, when the meeting separated. A number of
names were enrolled on the books cf the new society.

DIVORCES IN AMERICA.---The Baltimore Corre-
spondent of the New York Herald states that the Legis-
lative louses of that city are overwhelmed with appli-
cations for divorces. "It has," says be, " become a
business with members of the Legislature to get those
applications through, for which they receive pretty heavy
fees. Each member, when he goes to Annapolis, has •
half-dozen cases of this kind in hand, and a kind of log-
rolling system is adopted among them,
by which they
agree to vote for each other's cases, let them be based
on ever so frivolous a cause." One of the members, •
Mr. Cousin, introduced a Bill, said to be " a burlesque
Bill," for the purpose of enabling parties to be legally
divorced, on simply declaring to each othertheir wishes
to that effect.

Mr. ROEBUCK thought the question ought to be
divested of all considerations as to whether these mar-
riages were prohibited by the New Testament, for there
was no part of it which was not in turn received or re-
jected by different persons. He looked at the question
simply as a legislator, with the view of laying down a
rule for the guidance of the people in the matter. He
differed with the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr.
Sidney Herbert) Viet a broad distinction ought to be
drawn between the Church of England and persons who
did not agree with it. Now the reasons which
ha I induced men in all civilized countries
to prohibit marriages with a dieter, were first the
physical, and secondly the moral evils which resulted
from the nature of the intA.coune. In regard to the
present Bill, the physical reasons did not apply, but the
moral reasons did, and they could not be overlooked in
discussing this question. He thought if these marriages
were legalised that exalted feeling of esteem and confi-
dence which was reposed in a sister-in-law by the near
ties of relationship would no longer exist, and that
jealousies and dislikes would be introduced into families
where now nothing of the kind was felt or thought of.
But if the Right Honourable Gentleman passed this
Bill, was he so ignorant of human nature, so blind
to the realities of life, as not to know that, in spite of
herself, the wife could not have the same kindly feeling
for her own sister which the existing state of the
law encouraged? At present sympathy subsisted
between the sisters that render jealousies almost impos-
sible, but break doWn the barrier which the law had
raised, every day and every hour would witness the
occurrence of jealous bickerings and miserable
disputes in family relations, which now multi-
all the kindly feelings of our nature.—
(Hear, hear.) Could the supporters of the Bill show
any instances or ground for believing that there was a
balance of evils in this case? Let him take the other
title of the question, and see what the benefits of the
Bill would be ? As the world was constituted. the oc-
casional marriage of A, B, or C with his wife's sister,
was a matter of little importance. It could not justify the
pas=sing of a Bill like this. It was not as if a man mere
paced upon a desert with his wife and her sister, be-
c use there if the wife died, the desire to continue the
race of man might justify a marriage with the sister.—
(Llear, hear, and a laugh.) But there was no such
want in this country, and when the benefits likely
to a-ise from the passing of the Bill were put against
its dangers, the comparison was immeasurably in
favour of continuing the existing prohibition. It was
mauled, he readily admitted, that au aunt should have
a lively affection for her sister's children, and a desire to
attend them, to care for them, and watch over them;
but he did think they would not increase that desire by
making her the wife.—(Hear.) Just the contrary, because
the feelings of the aunt were -stifled in the new passions
of the stepmother. She has now children of her owe,
perhaps, and all the affections of the aunt were lost in
the feelings of the wife, and insteal of increasing the
happiness of her life, and making her a more powerful and
efficient protector of her sister's children, the utmost
that could be done to diminish her kindness for them
had been accomplished.—(Cheers.) Therefore upon
%he very same grounds that were urged in favour
of the Bill he thought it his duty to oppose it.
He did not believe that a more mischiev-
ous plan than this Bill could possibly be
devised for converting the kind and fond aunt into
the jealous stepmother.—(Hear.) With regard to the
religious part of the question, he agreed with the Right
Hon. Gentleman the Member for Wilts, that religious
matters ought not to be mixed up with this debate.—
(Hear, hear.) Let those whose religious feelings or
opinions Is ant in favour of these marriages legislate
for themselves and marry as they thought proper; but
before he could give his sanction to a Bill of this nature
it must be shown to him that it would not prove a
source of evil in giving rise to painful and jealous
feelings between married and unmarried sisters—
it must be shown to him that the old law
would break up the harmony of the mat
important of all our institutions, namely, that of
families—(Hear, hear)—and because ho felt that this
Bill was a direct attack upon that institution, and
fraught with danger and evil to the entire social system,
he felt bound to record his vote against it.—(Cheers.)
Mr. SPOONER was afraid, after the able and
eloquent speech of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, ho
should not be able to secure the attention of the House;
but he thought it4to bchis duty to protest against the doc-
trine laid down by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Mem-
ber for Wilts, and seconded by the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman who had just sat down, that the Word of
God ought not to be mixed up with this question.
He admitted there would be inconveniences arising from
this Bill to a small class of the population; but he called
upon the House to remember how many were living in a
state of concubinage. He was convinced, from a long
and intimate acquaintance with dense populations in the
meneacturing districts, whose houses were so crowded,
and where society was so large and dense that the
wets of concubinage which was produced by the present
law of marriage was such as to horrify and greatly dis-
tress any man of right feeling and right mind. Then
was that immorality occasioned by the present law or by
the law of God? They must attribute it to the limper-
fi ction of human law—a law which took upon itself
a power which it had no right t assume, in his
h amble judgment. Giving to this subject the best con-
e:aeration lee could, he was thoroughly convinced that by
tee Word of God such marriages were not forbidden.
He (Mr. Spooner) contended that the Hon. Member (Mr.
Hope) had not quoted Dr. Hook's letter fairly, inasmuch
as Dr. Hook had expressly used the term o camangui.
ply," and not the term " affinity," upon the former of
which words the whole of Dr. Hook's argument turned.
Because then he thought that the Bill brought in by his
Light Hon. Friend was not contrary to the law of God
—because he thought that the restrictions which it
sought to remove were altogether unnecessary—because
he thought that the law as it now stood was instrumental
in the production of a great mass of evil among the
lower classes—because the removal of the restriction
which this Bill proposed would be the in-
strument of great benefit, he would give his honest
hearty and earnest support to the second reading of this
Bill.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER said that no one could
deny the power, ability, and research which had been
displayed in the speech of his Right lion. Friend the
promoter of the Bill. That speech was fraught with in-
dustry and talent. It was full of the intellectual power
which he at all times possessed, and which he could at
all times exert, but it had failed to convince him that his
arguments were sound, or that the change would be desir-
able. The speech of the Hon. Member for Warwickshire,
who had just sat down, had also been distinguished by
tho happy adaptation of its arguments and the peculiar
felicity of its expression—(Hear, hear)—but he must
beg to dissent altogether from the doe rine that the
marriages which it was the object of this till to render
legal were not opposed to the law of God. But, for a
moment setting aside all considerations of this nature,
what would be the case supposing the spirit of this Bill
to be carried out—what would be the else in all
our domestic relations? Why, that a road would
be opened for other evils which the projectors of the
Bill seemed to have overlooked.—(Hear, hear.) If the
marriage with the sister of a deciaaad wife was to be
permitted, why also should not tinarriage t f a wife
with the husband of a deceased wife be permitted?—
(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Yet this was a point which
had been left altogether out of the discussion .—(Hear,
hear.) Then, as respected the point which had been
so much dwelt upon both .by the mover of the Bill,
and also by the Honourable Memb et for Warwickshire,
the latter Gentlemanhad relied upo i a difference between
the reading or the text in the cha ,ter of Leviticus and
the marginal reading, and although he had spoken of
contemptible Hebrew scholars. it ,hnnia he recollected I

that the marginal readings were usually considered as
the more correct readings of the two, and surdly he
would not attempt to say_ that those translators of the
Bible, by whom the marginal readings were affixed, were
contemptible Hebrew scholars. They expounded the
text, and were, more.over, the compilers of the canons
of 1603, in which those marriages were prohibited.
He now came to the speech of a Right Honourable
Friend of his whose opinions he had always been accus-
tomed to receive with the deepest respect; but when the
Hon. Member for Wilts (Mr. Sidney Herbert) stated
that no religious feeling was to be allowed to interfere
with the law of marriage, and that, as an alteration ha)
been already made, if Dissenters did not interfere with
the usual routine of the Church, that no impediment
ought to be placed in the way either of those or of other
parties who in this matter agree with them,
he must totally differ from him.—(Hear, hear.)
History sufficiently showed that marriages between
brother and sister were not uncommon, and that were
the licence was allowed that licence was invariably used.
Now, would the House, because it was shown that such
marriages had frequently taken place, be justified in
passing a measure for the legalizing of them? Certainly
not. It was the privilege of that House to regulate what
belenged to the order and good goterument of society,
to f mon a conscientious judgment of the moral tendency
of any institutions which might exist or might be pro-
posed to the House, and to act upon their convictions.
There were many persons in this country who enter-
tained lax opinions upon the due observance of the
Sabbath, and almost as lax as those held upon the Con-
tinent, yet had the House ever legislated upon the
opinions of a few individuals, and ought it to do so
in this matter? As to the argument which had been
advanced on the immoral tendency of this law of prohi-
bition, it was just a; sensible to say that the law of
theft was chvrgeable with all the robberies which took
place, as to say that this law was the cause of immora-
lity. Some gentlemen had advanced the argument of
comparison for the wives, and for the children who had
been the offspring of these marriages; for his own part,
looking at his own feelings only, he should be quite
content to replace those women who had fallen from
virtue, and the children who had lost their right of inheri-
tance by such marriages, but this was not a matter in
which private feelings alone should have the direction.
The last argument on which be should touch,was, that
England was the only country in which such marriages
were prohibited, and that it was inconvenient to differ
from other countries in this respect. He was so far from
thinking that the manners of other countries ought to
form un example tor this country, that he was disposed
to attribute the difference which he saw in the morals of
this and other countries to the levity which prevailed
abroad upon these points. In conclusion, upon this
point, he should use the words of Milton, though for a
tar different purpose to what that author had applied
them—" Let not England forget her privilege of teach-
ing other nations the way to live."—(Cheers.)
Mr. M. MILNES thought that the grounds
of argument which had been advanced upon this Bill were
scarcely of a sufficiently extensively theoretical nature,
as the subject was capable of. The Hon. Gentleman the
Member tor. Sheffield had certainly painted, in his own
peculiar manner, the tender and domestic relations of the
family affections, and the importance of extending, if
possible, those relations. He (Mr. Milnes) was disposed
to insist much upon the evil of the marriage of first
cousins which was not forbidden by the English
Church, but was most positively and strongly prohi-
bited by the Roman Catholic Church, and unless he
could be shown that the relation between a man and his
sister-in-law was more tender than that of cousins he
could not see any objection to removing the prohibition.
He thought that when they looked abroad and saw that
this law had been deliberately broken by good citizens
and honest men—broken, too, without any loss of
public estimation—this of itself was enough to furnish
a prinid facie evidence of the necessity of some altera-
tion in the law. Bat this measure had only been brought
f _award when these marriages had spread to the highest
ranks. If a foreigner had been in tho gallery the other
night, when the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Ox
ford favoured them with his views on this subject, he
would not have fancied that there was a law on the
statute-book declaring these marriages, up to a certain
day, to b© legal; but it was not lair for days or hours to
prevent the legalizstioa of marriages. Having ad-
mitted the principle, and laid the foundation
. for legislating on the subject, they could not now assume
the grounds of high morality and treat this question as
if it now came before them for the first time.—(Hear,
hear.) A special grievance had been distinctly brought
before them, and they were bound to consider whether
there were sufficient grounds to justify their legis-
lating upon it.—(Hear, hear.) Now the people of this
country were not averse to these marriages, and while
he could not believe that the passing of this Bill was
likely to give rise to those evils and dangers which the
Honourable and Learned Member for Sheffield shadowed '
forth, he was bound to support the measure, as he had
no doubt whatever that it would confer great and lasting
benefits upon the community at large. He was, '
however, satisfied of this, that whatever might be
the legislation of the House, those marriages
would still continue. A feeling would grow in the
country that a large majority of the House were favour-
able to them, that men of station and importance be-
lieved the law ought to be altered, and the people would
become gradually habituated to them.—(blear.) And
therefore it was that he asked the House to pass the
Bill now rather than welt till the pressure from without.
—(Hear, hear.) If they had 2,000 of these marriages
now they would have 4,000 of them in ten years hence.
The people of England were not accustomed to evade
he law of the land. A man who did an unlawful
thing was invariably shunned by his neighbour; but
,n regard to these marriages, although, to a certain
extent, they were a violation of the law, that feeling did
not prevail, and hence they were not only tolera•ed
but encourage,'. Why, then, continue a law which had
inflicted misery upon hundreds of families—which had
illegitimised children that were legitimuto in the eyes of
mot a ity ? Pass this Bill, and he believed they would be
doing what was right; but refuse it, and they would inflict
is grievous wrong upon a large body of tie community.
lI.: implored I lon. Members, who were members of the
Church to aequiesce in this Bill. Some cases of mar-
riage of this kind had come within his own knowledge
ainJug the higher daises, and tnere were many others
among the middle classes of society, all of whom thought
they were justifiable in contracting these marriages.
And that being so, he would Lot presume to set his own
individual opinion against those of the persons in the
higher and middle classes who Lad contracted such
nutrriuges.

Lord NIAIION must say, af, er the fullest considera-
tion, that he had a strong and insuperable objection to
the proposal of his Right Hon. Friend.—(Hear, hear.)
He thought the House should pause before they inter-
rupted the social intercourse of families. They could not
alter the law of marriage without producing a violent
infraction of the social feelings which existed among the
people. He thought the intercourse between a married
woman and her sister, and between a man and his siAer-
in-law, would receive the greatest interruption and dis-
t❑rbance from such a measure as was now proposed.—
(Hear, hear.) He did think also that they were
to look not merely to what that intercourse might
be i❑ a period of health, but al►o what it might
be whilst the wife was on a bed of sickness. There was
no period when a wife required more earnestly the
society of an unmarried sister than when she was
laid on a bed of sickness ; and yet that was
the very period when, under this Bill, that society
would be least commonly given, seeing that the
unmarried sister might have feelings of delicacy in
rendering But there was another consideration
connected with this Bill. He could not but apprehend
that if this Bill were to pass it might happen that
many married women, moved either by a feeling of
affection towards her children or by a tender regard for
her husband, might exact from her husband a promise
that he would contract a subsequent marriage
after her death with some one of her sisters;
but it might happen that the husband
might have concieved an attachment for another sister.
He (Lord Mahon) did think that marriages where there
was affection only on one side could not fail to be pro-
ductive of unhappiness; and such requests so made by
a wife to her husband, even though they might be un-
common, would produce the greatest struggle in the mind
of the husband, between the sanctity of a promise
exacted and made under such circumitances on the one
hand, and the feeling of affection on the other. He
thought if the House passed this Bill it would have
still further concessions in the same direction urged upon it
If the state of the law was to remain in the same posi-.
tion as that which it held before Lord Lyndhurst's Act,
he must say that he should not be at all satisfied with
it, but feeling that an amendment or improvement upon
that state of things could possibly be made by an altera-
tion cf the present law, he should on this and on all
future occasions give his strenuous opposition to this
Bill.

Mr. COCKBURN said, that after the observations
which he had made to the House on the subject, it
might seem almost superfluous to make any further re-
marks upon the Bill before the House, but its opponents
on the other side had so entirely altered their position,
and had taken up such new grounds, that he trusted the
House would for awhile bear with him.—(Hear, hear.)
During the former debates upon this Bill those who had
opposed it had, in the first instance, taken their stand
upon the express declaration of the revealed will of God,
but as the discussion advanced that ground hal
been tacitly abandoned, and no one but the Honourable
and Learned Member for Plymouth (Mr. Rounded
Palmer) had even ventured again to bring it forwardl
That question had been effectually disposed of.—(" Hear,
hear," from Mr. Palmer.) He would show it in a few
moments by a rapid review of the arguments that had
been used in previous debates.—(Hear, hear.) The
Hon. and Learned Member far Abingdon (Sir P.
Thesiger) has said that the matter ought to be set-
tled by the Church of England. But how could that
be ? The Bishops themselves were quite divided amongst
themselves, and the ordinary clergy were altogether
indisposed t) a c,enrnon conclusion.—(H h Rut
even ear., _
oven supposing the Church to be of one mind, which, a
he had just said, it was not, its community did not in-
clude all England, and the Dissenters, almost to a marl,
if he might judge by the petitions on the table, were una-
nimous in favour of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) In what
way, then, could they treat this, but as a question of so-
cial and domestic policy—as one affecting the nearest
and dearest of domestic ties?—(Hear, h 4 ae.) It was a
recognised rule that whatever was not prohibited by the
Divine law was allow e d and permitted, and there was no
prohibition in the text of the Scriptures against
the marriage of a man with the sister of a
deceased wife.—(flear, hear.) It was true that the
Hon. and Learned Member far Plymouth had discovered
in the deep recesses of his recondite learning that some
obscure Hebrew sect, of whom he would venture to say
that:not twelve mea in that House had ever heard, had
made out ourpresentint !rpret stion of the text of Leviticus.
Now such a statement was altogether without authority.
But then the Learned Gentleman says that we are not
bound by the Hebrew law but the Christian dispense-
ann. Well ennentlino. that nf the New

Testament did they find time marriages prohibited? And
yet this point had been brought under the attention of
the divine Author, and not a word of prohibition had been
uttered by him, And now for the moral and social ground
which had been brought forward. It had been said
that there was a possibility of the wife's sister becoming
a prey to the seductions of the husband, and the
wife's jealous feelings being aroused, and thus the peace
of the domestic hearth being disturbed ; and yet these
same Gentlemen vaunted the morality of England
as being so much superior to that of
other countries, while they thus reasoned
on the possibility of the women of England
so easily forgetting all their feelings of honour in such a
manner as this. Why, againc if the wife felt jealous,
would not she very easily get rid of her sister? On that
aide they contended that these marriages were necessary
for many reasons—for none stronger than that when a
mother, lying on her death-bed and about to leave a
young family behind her, whom would she so readily
choose as her own sister? The Learned Member
for Sheffield admitted this, but he said that if they
allowed this Bill to pass the feelings of the aunt would
in many cases be merged into that of a stepmother.
lie (Mr. Cockburn) did not believe that. He doubt id
if it were possible for a young unmarried female to
live in the most familiar intercourse with a
young widower without occasioning some remarks and
censure from the world ; and would any Member of that
House be ready to put any of their daughters and sisters
in that condition? That House could not create the
feeling of brother and sister where it did not exist,
nor could they legislate to prevent the rise and growth
of those feelings which were natural to every man.
Within the period since the passing of the law in 1835,
which they now sought to abrogate, as many as 1,500 of
these marriages had taken place within a very limited
district, and if they were not legalized the con-
sequence would be endless litigation with respect
to the rights of inheritance. Experience showed
that none of the evils alleged to arise from
marriages with a deceased wife's sister had any exist-
ence, and he thought it
.would be absurd to attempt by
any legislative measure to .put fetters upon those pas-
sions and feelings which concerned the happiness of
mankind. Our own experience, as well as that
derived from other countries, clearly showed
that such a measure as the present might be
adopted without the slightest fear as to the conse-
quences, either religious or moral, and on that ground,
as well as for the other reasons he had mentioned, he
should give it his support.
Mr. SHELL said he did notknow whether his Hon. and
Learned Friend (Mr. Cockburn) was a member of the Es-
tablished Church, but from the speech he had delivered he
should conjecture that he was " a Christian unattached."
—(Laughter.) If he (Mr. Shall) were a member of that
Church, he should have treated its canons which pro•
hibited marriages within certain degrees of affinity with
more profound regard and deference than that
manifested by the Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man.—(Bear, hear.) He did not intend to enter upon
what he called the dogmatical part of the question, that
having been amply dealt with by the lion. and Learned
Members for Abingdon and Oxford, and would simply
inquire what the effect would be, if this Bill were passed,
upon the wife of the husband, and on the prospective bride
whose path to the altar would be across her sister's grave.
The wife received her sister with open arms, cherished
for her a truthful and a beautiful love, and -watched over
her interests with a care almost paternal, and though
she might pass hours, days, and weeks with her hus-
band, yet not a doubt, not a conjecture
was permitted to cross her mind as to
her sister's chastity. But if the wife enter-
tained any doubt or suspicion, and with a view to
ascertain the truth or falsity of any impressions which
might be made upon her, watched every feature and
movement of her sister, it was inevitable that her feel-
ings would undergo a powerful alteration.—(Bear, hear.)
The worst of all passions, jealousy, would take
possession of her feelings, and every glance
and look of the husband would be interpreted.
So much for the wife. Now for the husband, who is
a good man. The only regard which he now enter-
tains for his wife's sister was a tentiment purely pla-
tonic, unsullied by an unholy wish ; but if he were
n,ught by his Honourable and Learned Friend the
Member for Bute, to look upon her as an ob-
ject of probable pos ession, the woman will be
placed in a perilous proximity, and a change would be
produced iu the moral temperature.—(Cheers.) He
passed next to the wife's sister. She now looks up to
her sister's husband as her protector, her friend, for
whom she entertains a moral respect, but no impassioned
friendship or love; but if she be taught to look upon
him as her contingency—or, he might almost say, if she
be taught to believe that she has vest-d remainder, under
the auspices of so astute a lawyer as the Honourable and
Learned Member for Bute, in the pillow on which her
sister's cheek will be coldly and lifelessly laid—or if she
learn to associate her wedding garment with her
sister's shroud—he was afraid the spirit of
wickedness would take possession of her breast, and a
wide field would be opened to her future conjugal specu-
lation.—(Hear, hear.) He was afraid the character of
her intercourse with her husband's sister would be en-
tirely changed, and instead of entertaining high moral
feelings and sentiments towards him, she would have re-
course to all ordinary sources of womanly attraction
to enchain the mind ani passions of the husband.—
(Cheers.) She would study every attitude and gesture,
every look and action which woman could so readily,
nay, almost instinctively, assume in accomplishing her
ends to obtain an influence over the husband.—(Cheers.)
These considerations induced him to think that the
measure was unadvisable.—(Cheers.) If his Hon. and
Learned Friend's Bill passed, where was it to stop ?
(lear, hear)—where could they limit the prohibited
degrees ?—where would the Hon. and L, arned Gentle-
man pause ?—(Hear, hear.) If a man marries his wife's
sister, why not marry his wife's daughter ?—(Cheers.)
Where was .the limit to be fixed?—(Hear, hear.) He
Lad promised not to touch upon the dogmatical part of
the question, and thus far he had fulfilled his pledge;
but he might still venture to state thus much, without
departing from the regulation he had laid down for him-
self, namely, that the religious feeling of the vast
majority of the people of the three countries was
against this measure. I'he women of England—
the wives and daughters of England, who were
the best judges upon a subject in which the.r
own happiness and that of man was involved—were
against this measure.—(Cheers.) The vast majority of
the clergy of the Established Church, he believed, were
against the measure.—(Cheers.) The people of Scotland
were against this measure. The L trd-Advocate
had told them, had used the forcible expression that
the Bill was abhorrent to the people of Scotland, and as
for the people of Ireland, he could take upon himself to
,ay that they were against it.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) The Catholic clergy of Ireland did not
desire that their dispensing powers should be extended
to the consecration of nuptials from which the Irish
people shrink with shame.—(Cheers.) Although no
amount of prejudice or passion would induce him
to do wrong to any man or any set of men, yet
be would not run counter to the religious
feeling of the country for the sake of an inno-
vation which breaks dowa some mural defence
that now protects our homes, and against which Cal-
vinistic and austere Scotland—Catholic and dispensing
Ireland—and the majority of the people of England—
half Protestant and half Catholic, though wholly Ca-
tholic upon this question—were decidedly opposed.

Mr. ANSTEY wished the Honourable and Learned
Gentleman had altogether avoided the dogmatical part
of the question, bemuse he could not agree with the
opinion which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had sat
down with. He supported the Bill, and ridiculed the
idea of a wife's sister ever resorting to the assassination
of the wife for the purpose of enjoying the husband.
If this Bill passed, what would be the practical effect?
In Ireland and Scotland those marriages would not be
solemnized more frequently than at present, inasmuch
as the people in those parts of the kingdom looked upon
them with repugnanee.--(" Divide, divide.") But it
would be otherwise in England. For these reasons, and
because he thought it was a question of religious liberty,
he would support the Bill.
Mr. COBDEN had watched the tendency of this
question fur several years, and he thought the agitation
out of doers had arisen from ecclesiastical and religious
feeling, and had mainly been confined to the Church
of England.—(No, no.) He repeated it, that the
main element in the opposition to this measure
had originated with a party in the Church of England,
who sought to carry us back to ancient time', and to re-
vive obsolete forms in the Church. There was a party
who had taken part in, those discussions who contended
that they had scriptural authority against those
marriages. He would have this question discussed
apart from biblical authority.—(Hear, hear.) The
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Sheil), wanting facts and argu-
ments, fell oti the religions argument. He said the
people of Scotland and Ireland were opposed to those
marriages; but he (Mr. Cobden) contended the Bill did
not compel the people of Scotland and Ireland to recog-
nise the validity of those marriages. He submitted
that the Jews bad never put the construction
that had been contended for on the verse in
Leviticus which bad been introduced into this debate.
If they abandoned this principle they would incur
nothing less than a violation of religious liberty. He
said therefore they would, if they opposed this Bill, be
violating the first principle of civil and religious liberty.
—(Hear, hear.) Why, the Baptists and Independents
unanimously regarded this as a matter of religious
liberty.—(hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman relied
upon the Levitical law. They should take the opinion
of Dr. Adler, the head of the Jewish persuasion. If
they did not take the opinion of Dr. Adler, they
would take an opinion which was totally opposed to that
of all-those by whom he was placed in his present posi-
tion.—(Hear.) Had they forgotten the petition which
was presented by the Noble Lord the Member for
London, which was signed by wimps the most
influential body of men that had ever attached their
signatures to such a ducument?—(Cries of " Hear,
hear.") One Honourable Member had reprobated the
pelitions which had been presented for the Bill, and st tted
that those meetings had been got up for the purpose of
excitement; but had they heard of any meetings on the
other side? None such had been held, and the fact had
been over and over again proved that the not holding of
those meetings had shown that there was no public feel-
ing whatever out of doors on this subjr,et.—(llear.) 'l'ne
Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member tor Sheffi-ld
had, in beautiful language, told them that the pa,sttig
of this Bill would be a desecra ion of the holy
and disinterested affection which now. existed between
brother and sis! er, but he found from that him book
that, in numerous instances, the dying wife had re-
quested that her husband should choose her sister as the
guardian for her children, and when the lion. and
Learned Member for Dungarvon talked of walking over
a wife's grave to the altar. it was simply stating that
which was a manifest error.—(llear, hear.) What
were they legislating for ?—not fur ;hose woo were
in the heyday of passion, but fur the widower
whose first care was to provide for his mother-
less children. And who could provide for them,

'• His Excellency has observed with much re-
gret that the public mind in the county of Down
has of late been agitated upon questions con-
nected with the relations of landlord and tenant,
and the agrarian outrages have recently increased
in that generally peaceable and tranquil district.
The Lord-Lieutenant cannot but feel surprised that
a county hitherto considered the most favourably
circumstanced, and the inhabitants of which were re-
garded as the most contented in Ireland, and where
there appeared to have existed between the proprietary
and tenantry that mutual confidence which is so essen-
tial to the prosperity of each, should, at the present mo-
ment, be the scene of angry discussion which can never
lead to a satisfactory settlement of any differences
which may exist between owners and occupiers.
The Lord-Lieutenant has read with pain the speeches
which have been reported to have been delivered
at some of the meetings referred to by your Lordship,
and his Excellency sincerely laments that those, who,
by their position, may be considered capable of giving
a direction to the feelings, and opinions of their
hearers, should have permitted themselves to advocate
principles which are subversive of property and order ;
but the Lord-Lieutenant feels assured that your Lord-
ship will, on reflection, concur with his Excellency
in opinion that he would not be justified in calling the
attention of the General Assembly, or any other go
vernment body of the PreshyterianF, to such secular
matters.

" On more than one occasion the Lord-Lieutenant
has bad to regret the use of language by ministers of
the Gospel of different persuasions in this country
when taking part in proceedings unconnected with
their duties, but experience has proved to him
that the good example of the great majority of the
clergy of all churches in Ireland, and the disapproba-
tion with which they view the violent interference of
clergymen in secular matters, operate as the most
effectual checks upen a force which must always be
injurious to the cause of truth and social order.
" I am further directed to assure your Lordship
that the most active exertions are being used to dis-
cover the perpetrators of these outrages, which have
naturally created so much alarm in the county of
Down, and that no effort will be wanting on the part
of his Excellency for the suppression of crime in that
district. _ .

MANCHESTER, TuEsner.--In 30's, 40's, and ..50's
mule twist, suitable for Indian consumption, the
market is very steady, prices being well sus-
tained by the adequacy of the demand to take up
the production, as it becomes disengaged. But the
continental merchants are at least as much indis-
posed for business as they were last week. The
letters received to-day, from Germany, show that,
although stocks are exceedingly moderate, there
is

below the cost f what

to prevent the giving of fur-
ther orders, of any magnitude, in the present unsettled
condition of the Manchester market. The conse-
quence is, that we have had a very dull day in reeled
though there is little alteration
inquotations, still the buyers are able to
wa
makewater
the
twist
gt h ; and,
their limited purchases, for assortment,
on slightly lower terms, than they could have done a
week ago. The turn of prices in warps and cops, of
medium counts, for home consumption, is also some-
what in favour of the buyers, who, however, are but
little inclined to operate. It is found, however, that the
diminished production of low numbers for home manu-
factures has imparted to them a degree of firmness
not observable some few days back. The fall in prices
has led to a somewhat increased call for printing
cloths, for 40-inch shirtings above the lower reeds,
and also for 34 and 36-inch shirtings. Long cloths,
T cloths, and domestics, however, continue to be neg-
lected. The lessened production of these articles
has not, as yet, in any degree stimulated demand.
Altogether, the transactions of the day have been on
a very restricted scale ; and a good deal of irregu-
larity has been experienced in prices.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a rather quiet
market to-day in flannels, with little or no change in
prices. In the wool market there has been little
doing, and prices have been stationary.
MACCLESFIELD,
TtiEsnex.—We have no alteration
to notice in the market since our last. Manufacturers
continue to effect sales of goods freely, but there is
some little complaint of prices not being up to the
mark, as compared with the raw material. Old
stocks are fast working out; and higher prices will
have to be paid, or production will have to be lessened.
This applies also to the thrown silk trade. The
brokers' circulars, just issued, all concur in prices
being very firm for good and useful silks.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, —Our market has been
brisker than ever, the stock continuing low, and
being in facfat present lower than ever before known.
The Cloth Hall looks quite deserted, and the menu-
lecturers are working for orders only.
Hetarax, SATURDAY.
—Everything remains pretty
much in the quiet condition noted in our last report,
which might, with truth, he repeated, word for word,
as respects this day's business in the Piece Hall,
and also as respects both the yarn and the wool
markets.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has not been much done
in the market today, and the cloth trade generally is
not quite so brisk, buyers not being disposed to give
the advanced prices asked. There is a fair business
doing in the warehouses, chiefly by shippers.

DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE

NATIVES OF BORNEO.
In the piratical district of the Rejang, and that part
inhabited by the Sarebas, Sakarran, and Kanowit pirates,
we find villages of singular construction. The houses
are erected on piles forty feet in height: they are framed
with strong timbers, flanked at the sides with bamboo,
and thatched with atap, or the leaves of a certain tree.
A broad balcony runs round each dwelling, and in this
the inmates sit in the cool of evening to enjoy the soft
air. The supporting piles are strong and thick, so that
when one of these villages was attacked by the pirates,
it took them several hours to hack through them, until
at length the weight of the superincumbent mats of
building brought the whole down with a tremendous
crash. But this class of dwellings is not common. In
other districts a village consists of one huge house, with
many entrances, erected on short piles, with a platform
running along the whole front. To this the mewls of
ascent is by notched poles, passing up through openings
in the elevated stage, and drawn up at night. The ex-
terior has the appearance of a street of old English farm
sheds, half ruined; but in the interior we find much
neatness and comfort. In other parts of Borneo we find
the savages dwelling in small circular edifices, built
among the branches of trees; in others, inhabiting little
low huts, forming a cluster, buried in some deep woody
hollow; in others, swarming in vast buildings lying along
the banks of rivers and consisting of piles of connected
timbers without plan or regularity, erected one against
the other as the tribe swells its numbers; but notwith •
standing its outward rude aspect, evincing that taste for
animal comfort for which most savages are remarkable.
Some of the Sarawak chiefs possess dwellings of ex-
treme neatness and beauty, erected with no little skill,
on low piles, ascended to by ladders, well thatched, and
surrounded by palisades. In a few of them may be
traced a resemblance to the primitive Swiss cottage,
with its broad eaves overhanging the verandah. The
Lundi Dyaks dwell in houses which the English cottager
would admire, and, indeed, closely resembling, in every-
thing but their elevation from the ground, the habita-
tions of our peasantry. The houses possessed by the
fierce and formidable pirate tribes of Borneo present
every appearance of comfort, and many of them are re-
markable Ibr the skilful joining of the timbers and planks,
considering that few nails are used, and very rude tools
employed. The general materials i used in the construc-
tion of the houses of the Indian islanders are bamboos,

BRIAN BOROIHME'S HARP.—It is well known that
, ,
the great monarch Brian Boroihme was killed et the
battle of Clontarf, A.D. 1012. He left his son Donah
his harp ; but Donah
regalia of his having murd,red his brothe
l ei
ge, and being deposed by his nephew, retired to
Rome, and carried with him the crown, harp, and other
'ather. These regalia were kept in the
Vatican till Pole Clement sent the Harp to Henry
VIII., but kept the crown, which was massive gold.
Henry gave the harp to the first Earl of Clanric.trAl. in
whose family it rem,ined until the beginning of the
eigteenth century, when it came by a lady of the De-
Burgh family into that of M•Mahon of Glenagb, in the
county of Clare, after whose death it passed into the
po-session of Counsellor Macnamara of Limerick.. . In
1782 it was presented to the Right Hon. William
nip:most arm
Conyngham, who deposited it in Trinity. College
Museum, where it now is. It is 32 inches high, and of
good workmanship ; the sounding board is of oak ; thy.

It contains a large cryst 1 set in silver, and under it was
another stone, now lost —Tipperary Free Press.

OitxGrr ARles.—An importation having recently
taken place, from one of the ports ef France, of a quan-
tity of articles having the appearance and character of
swords, and termed coutequx de chasse, they were de-
tained by the officers of the revenue as coming under the
general term of arms, and therefore an illegal importa-
tion. It appears that these couteaux de chasse had been
packed and sent to this country for tran,hipment to an-
other foreign st it-, as d not fir introduction here in eon-
travea ion of the law, and it was therefore requested
that they might he tilloa ed to 1 e sent with the goods by

cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--Extract of a letter
from 0. B. Knocker, dated Mount Gambia, South Australia,
July 7, 1849. To Professor Holloway. Sir,—A case has
just come under my observation in which the efficacy of your
Ointment and Pills has been fully proved. A man of the
name of Joshua Smith had upwards of twenty ulcers on his
shins, which were so difficult to cure that almost every remedy
had been applied without any good effect. Your Pills and
Ointment were then resorted to, and in about six weeks he
Was completely cured, and scarcely a mark is now to be seen.—
