NEW MARRIAGE LAW ik FRANCE. A Paris correspondent of a London paper, telegraphing on March 11, says ; Among the numerous Bills brought in for the consideration of the Chamber of Deputies this session is one affecting marriage laws as laid down in the Code Civil. M, Saint Martin desires to see marriages between brothers and sisters-in-law legalised, his arguments being that they are not contrary to natural rights, and that, as a matter of fact, they actually take place by means of a dispensation, no less, than 1,4G7 marriages of this kind having been registered during tiie year 1870. The bill maintains the prohibition of marriages between uncles and nieces, aunts and nephews; but a clause is inserted giving the President of the Republic power to issue dispensations in grave cases. The most important feature of M. Saint Martin's measure is, however, the proposal to render the marriage of priests legal. As the law stands at present, not only are priests prohibited from marriage by the Civil Codo as well as by canon law _; but in the event of a priest entering into wedlock, the union is considered null and void, the woman is looked upon as a concubine, and the children are bastards.
