HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is ensured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend !lip," is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, aays Johnson, " we approach in mate degree of association with celestial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty, not only t. regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habit:: will effentinize the body—a residence In the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth, toes frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonised sufferer MUM than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—muscular strength— felicity ; oor will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they bre by the multiplied proofs of twenty years successful ex perience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the sospen.ion of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath —fur the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, 311 d deficient energy improved into functional nartver. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxa tion of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, std t ith effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeel ing empyric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we de viate from general principles with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Sur geons, we refer the suffering community of either Sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attrt dunce is given for personal consultation; and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these must ill re mittance fur Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which cam be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

It is necessary to mention, with respect to the above list, that as on leessbeld and freehold property there could not exist much difference et opinion,' the real value being easily ascertainable, the ground upon which such enormous demands have been made, as appears every where through the list, is that of goodwill. In several instances where the goodwill has been set down at I,OOOL or 2,0001 or 3,0001. not a far thing has been awarded by the jury. The most extraordinary ex. cuses have been made for making unreasonable demands. In one case a very respectable firm asked for a large sum as a compensa tion fur a wharf where they used to ship and unship their goods, which wharf they fancied was their own because, being influential citizens, they had obtained for years an exclusive and most lucrative •rivikge of crowding it with their own goods without paying a nail. • rent. TILE ARMY. PRICE 71). GENERAL ORDERS. Horse Guards, July 31. The Ring has been pleased to command, that the Sergeants of Regiments of Infantry shall be armed in future with Fusils instead of Pikes. Arrangements will be made with the Muter General and Board of Ordnance, with the view of carrying his Majesty's pleasure into effect._ - - - _ _ By command of the Right Honourable General Lord Hill, Commanding in Chief, JOHN MACDONALD, Adj -Gen. Horse Guards, Aug. 2. The King has 'been pleased to command that the following al terations shall take place in the Army t The uniforms of the Officers of the Regular Fortes to be laced in gold, except those of the Household Troops, who are to continue to wear their present gold embroidery. The whole of the cavalry, with the exception of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), to be dressed in red, at the next issue of clothing. The mustachios of the cavalry (excepting in the Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards, and the Hussars) to be abolished, and the hair of the non-commissioned officer and soldier, throughout the regular forces, to be cut close at the sides and at the back of the head, in stead of being worn in that bushy and unbecoming fashion adopted by some regiments. The four regiments of Hussars to be dressed perfectly alike. Their officers to have one dress only, and that of a less costly pat. tern, which will forthwith be prepared. The cap lines and tassels worn on the caps of the officers and men of the infantry to be abolished, and the feather of both officer and soldier to be shortened, so as not to shew more than eight inches above the cap. The Gorgct to be abolished. The Officers and men of the Light Infantry, throughout the Army to wear a Green Tuft, instead of a Feather. The Bands of Infantry Regiments to be dressed in White Cloth. ing with the Regimental Facings. The Star upon the Strap of the Officer's Epaulette, to be that of the Order of the Bath, instead of that of the Order of the Garter, with the exception of those Regiments for which a National Badge has been authorized. These arrangements to have reference to future supplies, and are pot to prevent either officers or soldier from wearing out their pre. sent appointments, or such as may be in progress of preparation, it being however understood, that this indulgence is not to extend beyond Christmas 1831, in the case of regiments at home, or beyond Christmas, 1832, in the case of regiments abroad. Patterns of the new clothing for Hussars and Bands of Infantry Regiments, as well as of the l'ufts for the Light Infantry, will be prepared immediately, and deposited for general information and guidance, at the office of Military Boards. A pattern of the gold lace to be adopted for the Regular Forces at large (with the exceptions already specified) will be deposited in like manner, as will, also, a pattern red coat of the proper quality quality and dye, to serve as a guide for the Cavalry. The Xing has been further pleased to command, that the feather, which has been specially allotted to the tieneral Officers of the Army, shall, on no account whatever, be worn by either Staff or Re gimental Officers, who are hereby enjoined to adhere strictly to the feathers prescribed for them by regulation. All deviations from the regulations established by the King, as they regard dress, are peremptorily forbidden by his Majesty. The Slog has been pleased to dispense with officers of the army appearing, either at Levees or Drawing rooms, in shoes and buckles ; they will accordingly appear, upon those occasions, in the trowsers prescribed by regulation.

Charles (Louis Philippe) X. is the most aged Sovereign in Ea- rope, having been born the 9th of October,l7s7. He succeeded his brother, Louis XVIII. whose dissolution occurred, in the 69th year of his age, on the 16th of September, 1824, and made his public entry into Paris, as King, on the 27th of the same month. His Majesty married the 17th Novemeber, 1773, when he was in the 17th year of his age, Princess Maria Theresa, daughter of Victor Amadeus, the third King of Sardinia (at that period the Count d'Artois); Louis XVIII. having been united, 1771, to the Prince's Maria, a daughter of the same Monarch. By this Princess, who died at Gratz, in Hungary, June 2, 1005, the dethroned Sovereign had issue, Louis Antoine, Due d'Angouleme, late Dauphin of France, born August 6, 1775, married, the 10th of June, 1799, Maria Theresa Charlotte, only surviving child of Louis XVI. born the 19th of December, 1778; Henry Charles, Duc de Berri, mar ried, in 1818, Maria Caroline, daughter of Francis I. the late King of the Two Sicilies, by Maria Clementine, aster of the present Em peror of Austria, by whom his Royal Highness had issue, Maria Theresa Louisa (Mademoiselle), born September 28, 1819, and I lenryCharles Ferdinand Dieudonne d'Artois (a posthumous prince), born the 29th of September, 1820. The Due de Berri was assas sinated, in Paris, February 14, 1820, and expired the following morning. GENDARMERIE. The establishment of the Gun, a company whose duty it wu to guard the city by night, is traced to the time of the Romans. The Institution was, from its obvious utility, continued by the Gauls, adopted by the Kings of the Franks, and maintained under all the wars and disturbances of the feudal times. From the earliest period the Guet appears to have consisted partly of citizens, furnished by the Prevot from the companies of merchants and artisans, and partly of men appointed by the King, to the number of forty-six—twenty being mounted, twenty-six on foot. In 1550 the Gun Royale, or company of guards appointed by the King, was limited by edict to 240 men, and the Guet Anis, consisting of armed citizens, and so called because they merely acted as sentinels, but did not go the rounds, was abolished. During the year 1861, however, the Gun Royale shoed the like fate, and the guard of Paris was exclusively I entrusted to the citizens. In 1563 the Guet Royale was again an ' Welled, and the Company of Citizens wu again disbanded. Feasts this period until the first year of the Revolution, the constitution of the ()net Royale remained unaltered, except in number ; it was in creased in proportion to the wants of the capital. In the fint year of the Republic it was dissoleed. The origin, both of the Gendar merie and of the National Guard, may be thus early traced to the duet. As soon as a Ann and regular Government bad succeeded to the disorders of the Revolution, the Gendarmerie was re-established. Napoleon paid especial attention to the formation of this body : the men were selected chiefly from the veterans of his army ; they were well paid, and adminibly equipped. Indeed, it would be difficult to find in any country a finer body of men than the Gendarmerie 1 Cheval. They were, however, always held in bad odour by the people. There can be little doubt that they numbered many spies in their ranks, especially since the restoration of the Bourbons.— This naturally drew down on them far more than the ordinary ha tred which attaches itself to thipolice in all countries. They,how .ever for the most part performed their duty with exemplary me- deralion ; once before, in the hue feign, they were brought into eon- Ala with the people ; on this occasion, it is said, they took an op. pottunity of avenging themselves, for a king arrest of insult, by the reckless effusion of bloods it wait in the last day! of Fillets's mi. ninny :it precipitated his tell.

Amongst the benefits conferred on France by the first revolution is the above-named institution. It was crested by a decree of the National Convention, March 11, 1794, in conjunction with a Cen. minion des Travour Publics. It was originally called PEcole Centrale. The name was changed to PEcole Polykokuirie by a decree of the loth Fructidor, An. 111. (Sept. 1, 1795.) The school is established in dm buildings of the ancient college of Navarre (Rue des Cartes Montagne, St. Genevave.) Its object is to diffuse the knowledge of the mathematical, physical, and che. mical sciences, and to prepare the pupils for the artillery, and for the various departments of engineering, military, maritime, and civil. It enjoyed the especial favour and protection of the Em. peror Napoleon ; in his time it underwent considerable modifies. tins. In that of the late King (Charles the Tenth) it was entirely romeganised, and placed under the direction of the Duke of An. gouleme, assisted by the Minister of the Interior, a Governor and Deputy Governor. The affairs of the school are likewise under the superintendence of two Councils—a Council of Instruction and a Council of Adminiatrstion. The number of pupils is Wes of these 24 enjoy scholarships founded by Charles X. the sollgnsann to which was in the King. The terms for the unendowed student are I,ooo:franes a year, in dependent of the expense of uniform and books. The pupils are, foe the most part, boys recommeoded from the several o l tU-r sehooli ' of an inferior order. They must have attained their sixteenth yea/[ and must be less than twenty. Previous to admission, they are subjected to a severe public examination The course of study is two years (in certain cases it isextended to three). At the expira tion of this period, the pupils about to leave the school are win examined. The examination is public; it is invariably aum.dn by the greater number of the Marshals and other distinguished Gene rals of France, together with many of those celebrated men who have devoted themselves to the promotion of 'dem, and rendered their names immortal by enlarging the boundanies of human knowledge. The examination refers to all matters of information necessary for a soldier and a gentleman. It of .course relates particularly the practical application of the abstract sciences to the pur poses of war; but it likewise extends to all the higher branches of those sciences, and the answeri ' is such as might well asto nish a Senior Wrangler of Cambri or a Medallist of Dublifi• • —ln a word, no other institution it Europe sends fourth t ot the world body of young men possessing so much useful infoemion as the pupils of the Ea.
