THE MATR1MoNIAL Mosaic LAw.--The
Baltimore Presbystery recently hauled up vii.
liam Chapman for having married the sister
of his deceased wife. Six of the presbytery
voted him guilty Of incest, nineteen Of ''of-
fence against edifcatiou," and only two were
sensible enough to declare that he had broken
the law of God and man. Rev. DR.. Backus,
to concliate the brethren all around, entered
a minute to the purport that brother Chap
man violated no law Of religion or the church,
but inasmuch as he knew the feelings Of many
serious Christians against such marriages, he
is censurable as a Presbyterian elder ror his
untenderness in the affair. Elder CHAIRMAN
was 50 tender towards the sister that he could
not help little toughness towards Presbyte-
rian prejudices.

PENNSYLVANIA FRIENDS. - At the YEARLY
meeting which was held IN Philadelphia last
week, the disputed question in relation to the
tenets of Quincy and Wilbur, was referred to
committee, who will report next year
The Wilbur party composed about three
fourths of the meeting, and have hitherto con.
trolled its action. Their views, however, are
at variance with those of the society at large.
in Great Britain, ireland, and America. They
have entered into correspondence with schis-
matte body in Ohio, disowned by all the other
yearly meetings, and have refused to recon-
slider their action. Those members of the
meeting, however, who desire to regain their
connection with their brethren in other places
and maintain the harmony of the society,
feel compelled to withdraw from the majority
and take measures for the re opening of their
correspondence with the other yearly meet
ings. They will now, however, await the
report Of the committee. The terms " Cur
neyite and "Wilburite" are disclaimed bv
each of the two bodies but the SO. called
g Quincy Friends will undoubtedly in time
be acknowledged, throughout the world, as
the true philadelphia Yearly Meeting" and
the other body, whatever strength it NAV re.
tain in Pennsylvania, will find itself COM
pletely isolated from the sympathy of the So
ciety at large.
The question at issue has been one of con-
siderable excitement among Friends, as a
large amount of property is involved, as well
as an important doctrinal point in its decis-
ion.-BoSton .adUertiser
