      The Deceased "Wife ' s Sister . Bill wasread a second time in the House of Commons last week , amidst cheering sufficiently general to verge on the uproarious . Surely , if ever a subject commanded sober and serious consideration , a question affecting the marriage law should be it . Yet from the appearance of the House on Wednesday last , it might have been supposed that the question on which the division took place was of the lightest and most lively character . " Laughter " in the House of Commons is proverbially easily earned , but Members should not get hilarious over such points as the validity of marriage with a deceased wife ' s sister . Such conduct is indecent , and more—it is idiotic .

      Although It Might Be Supposed By The Man...

      Although it might be supposed by the many " Departures , of Emigrants for Canada this day "—as the evening papers have it—that the emigration movement is making great way , this is not the fact . Although there are several bands of good people and about to , who pack scrape off two together or three enoug hundred h money of our charter starving a shi poor p , every now and then , all the sensible relief which these small assistances give to the mass of the people , they might as well never be made . It will not be until emigration is carried out on a broad and comprehensive scale that its real blessings will become apparent . And to this end the Government should give something better than the limited and half-hearted assistance which it has as yet accorded to the movement . It is a pity that Mr . Gladstone cannot be persuaded that inexpensive philanthropy is the safest of cards to play , and that a little more time and attention given to the emigration question , would be time and attention wisely bestowed .

      It is with very much pleasure that we chronicle another genuine success at the Prince of Wales ' s , especially as Mr . Robertson is enabled this time to endorse his unapproachable work with the word " original , " Mr . Robortson certainly deserves to hold a very high position as a dramatic writer , for he has to 1 great extent worked a complete revolution in the British Irama . He could , however , scarcely have accomplished this vithout the aid of Miss Marie Wilton and her admirable com-> any , who have rendered it possible for an English author to

      write up to natural situations in common every-day English with perfect confidence . At the Prince of Wales ' s , acting ceases to be acting altogether , and there can be no more perfectly satisfactory task for an author than to pen a piece under the conviction that it will be entrusted to Miss Marie Wilton ' s management , and so , in all probability , more than realise his own expectations of what it ought to be upon the stage . Other companies there are in London , and good ones , but there is not one that can , taking it all in all , approach that of the little Prince of matter Wales ' s for . Apropos decided , congratulation Mr . Coghlan's . accession Perfectly to the rank e as s , is the a thorough-bred gentleman ( a rare gift ) , and possessing also dramatic force of a very high order , he is a decided acquisition , and the appearance of his name in the place of the much-regretted Mr . Montague ' s , gives another proof of that tact and circumspection that has been so characteristic of the present management . We wish M . P , the success it richly deserves .
