Marriage With A Deceased Wife's Sister. ...
MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER . ( To ( he Editor of the Leader . ) _ SiB ,-Of all the cants that are canted in ^ is canting world of ours , I know not one more absurd than the constant appeal to Moses on points connected with the social economy of a very different order of civilisation . Without stopping to inquire how far _ the Jew ? sh legislator was indebted to divine inspiration for his sanitary regulations , or for rules and customs connected with a peculiar and isolated system of societr but rather admitting that qutdguid tradidit Moses was a direct emanation from supreme wisdom , I would appeal to any man of common sense for the true interpretation of the 18 th verse , 18 th chapter of Leviticus : " Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister , to vex her , to uncover her nakedness , beside the other in her life-time . " Surely the last clause confines the question within very narrow limits . The Jews , who indulged in polygamy—whether by divine , inspiration , or otherwise deponent saith not—are merely forbidden to marry two sisters at the same time . And this , not because it would be incestuous , but simply from a kindly motive , to avoid creating jealousies and mutual estrangement between sisters .
Indeed , it can be no more incestuous to marry a deceased wife ' s sister than to marry a deceased husband ' s brother , which was not only permitted , but enjoined by the Levitical laws . If the Mosaic dispensation is still to prevail , let us , at least , be consistent , and conform to it in all points not specifccally remodelled by the Antitype of Moses . And for this purpose it will be necessary that we assume the habits and manners of an oriental people ? and adopt their character and idiosyncrasy—an absurd hypothesis . Yours , & c . V
Officious , not Official . —Peculiar information is a good thing , but correct information is a better . Some weeks since our contemporary , the Press , announced that Lord John Russell had been recalled to London , the noble lord at that very time being on his way from Paris to Vienna . A fortnight ago the same authority , which is supposed to have peculiar sources of information , oracularly hinted that Louis Napoleon , or , as Mr . Disraeli would sayr"The Emperor Louis , " was probably already on his way t o _ the Crimea . " The Emperor Louis , however , is still in Paris .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , March 23 , 1855 . Consols fell considerably during the early part of the week ; most unpleasant rumours were afloat that the Congress at Vienna had suddenly broken up , that the Allies had received a severe defeat before Sebastopol , and the Turks at Eupatoria . However , it would seem to have been a telesrraphic communication written and sent a few hundred yards more or less from the vicinity of the Stock Exchange . Amongst other depressing contingencies , a new and heavy loan was talked of . Shares maintained a good price notwithstanding the fall in consols . Turkish Scrip also flattened Crystal Palaces have been very firm , and well supported throughout the week . In the mines , United Mexican have been as high as 61 . per share . It is affirmed that excellent accounts are likely to arrive from them . Nouveau Monde and Cocaes are firmer . In everything else tho mining market is terribly flat . . This afternoon the telegraph from Paris announces tne Rentes to be better , so we have a slight fillip here .
