REPLY:

To His Lordship Bishop VWelntyre, Rev. ©.

O'Brien, D. D., John Gahan, Leq., and others. GeENTLEMEN,—I most heartily thank you ,

for the address which I have the honor to re-

ceive from the hand of the Rev. Dr. O'Brien ; and as J am of opinion that the address originated through his Lordship the bishop and the Iiev. Dr. O'Briev, 1 so much the more prize it. The other gentlemen being mostly strangers tome, Iam highly = to see

t having the op

much they are pleased at

how ; ;

portunity oi putting their names to tne

aucdTress. (rentlemen, although the passage across the

‘ts in the winter season is hazardous and

rough, alittle attention and civility helps to smoothen it a good deal.

I have, indeed, hadalong exp , and should I have the good fortune to be placed in a higher position on this route, L trust | may be guided by the nnerring hand of Providence as i have been in the past. ;

From my own experience, and the natural pesition of the Straits, I quite agree with you that the Capes is the only safe and practicable route in Winter.

I again sincerely thank you for the high opinion you have of my services, and any little attention I may have shown you on the passage was surely my duty. In conelu- sion, I pray your Lordship, your Reverence and Mr. Gahan may have a safe aud speedy passage across the Atlantié; and you gentle- men, | trust you will all reach your respective destinations safely.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Si1e,-——I see in your issue of the 22nd March, acopy of the petition which the Epis- copal Clergy of the Dominion have sent to the House of Commons, praying against the pass- ing of the Bill of the marriage of the deceased wifes sister.

Now. Mr. Editor, His Lordship the Bishop of Ontario points us to the 18 Chap., 16, 20, 21 verses of Leviticus. Not any of these verses have any reference to the deceased Wife's sister, except the 16th verse, which, if any body willread it cansee whr&t it refors to. His Lordship leaves out what does not suit, for if you refer tothe 18 Chap, 15 verse of Leviticus, you will see that the Law of Moses plainly tells that you must not marry your wife's sister while your wife is living, which plainly shows that in those days men had mere than one wife, and) nowhere in Scripture, either in the Old or New Testament will you find it forbidding yon to marry your sister-in-law. If you go strict- ly by the Bible a man must marry his deceased brother's wife whether he likes it or not.

Now Mr. Hditor, as society acknowledges it { think the law ought also, or else stop it
