Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. lIAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is insured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual Friend 14ip." is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, rays Johnson, " we approach in some degree of associadon, With celestial jots-M.7nm." Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the &elect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. Teall such then, ve address outselves, offering hope,' energy, muscular strength, felicity ; nor will our advances appear questionable sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of 20 years' successful experience. The easy cares of married life are pometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath —for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be i'esgthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. 1.1 every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation o: the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, 1 1 . with effect.

Mr. Se/slum stated the plaintiff's case. Sae was, he said, a young Lady of nineteen, beautiful, well edu cated, and accomplished. The defendant, by his en deavours, had acquired a very strung hold of her affze• tions. The Jury would find, as the cause proceeded, that there never was a case of this sort is which the ob. raining of the affections was more a business of the man' than it was in this case ; and when, after he had, with t.edulaus attention, engaged those affections and made application to the parents, he had then declared that he meant to violate those engagements, at the same time that he acknowledged he could offer no reason for his conduct. A man might be ensnared by the arts of , a woman, and, forgetful of prudence, might make an en gagement of passion, which, on a cooler review, he might desire to break frum ; and the young woman who escaped from the hand so hastily offered had perhaps no' great cause to complain of the violation of the engage ment. But when the Jury found a young man going about sedulously to obtain the affections of a young Lady, making application to her father and brother and to herself, it was impossible, under such circum stances, that he could retract—heplr. Scarlet° would not say with honour, but without shame and disgrace. The plain , . If is the daughter of a Gentleman who had long practi_ed as an Attorney at Biimingham, and having a sou who had settled in London, but who being unmarried, his elder sister came up to town to reside with him, at Milman-street, near the Foundlia# Hospi tal, and the plaintiff being there on a visit. They be came acquainted with a respectable Lady, named Gray; and a Gentleman whom they met there, and whom tie need not name, was the means of introducing the de fendant (who resided in Tunbridge -street, and had a Chemist's and Di uggist's shop in Carshalton-street) to' the plaintilf. It was in January, 1a25, that they met at Mrs. Gray's. The defendant appeared much struck with the plaintiff, and took intini.e pains to obtain an introiuction to her brother, winch having obtained, he saw tile young Lady severhl tunes, and became somr %that familiar iii the family ; they dined together at the house of their common acquaintances, and at last he made a proposition to the young Lady ; which, as he •as a young man of good appearance, good manners, and by no means destitute of other advantages, it is s as not at all surprising was ultimately listened to with complacency. The L !anted Cuun . el brie read an ex tract from the letter, which contained, as he observed, nothing but the warm sentiments of a rational mind. To this such an answer was sent as was becoming in a modest young Lady to make to such a proposal, and which his Learned Eland (Mr. Gurney) might read to them if he thought fir. The next step he took was to send a letter to her father, which was of such a charac ter as to impr.:ss on his mind that his was a connexion by no means unfit for his daughter. It stated that the writer had been five years in London, and had been three years in business, but that he could not state with certainty what his income was. It had the two first years averaged 46W. and he had hopes it would be better that year. When Mr. Elkington received this letter at Birmingham, he made some inquiries respecting the writer, and, having ascertained the correctness of his representations, he wrote to the defendant expressing his satisfaction, and at the same time stated that he could not, from his situation in life, give his daughter any money, as all he could afford had been expended on his children's education, concluding by saying, that if his daughter approved his offer, it had his approbation also. The intimacy, therefore, had began with the ap probation of the father, mother, and brother of the plaintiff, and shortly afterwards the defendant stated his wish that the marriage should take place in April: and though the day was nct fixed, he showed her his house, took her opinion on the furniture, and acted in every respect as if their marriage was sure to take place. The young Lady left town at the end of January, 1826, at which time he wrote to her in the following terms : " My very dear Caroline, " I take the opportunity of acknowledging the receipt of your letter, and tell you how pleased and grateful I feel for it; this will render you, if possible. more dear to me than before, I have set myself to gain your affections and esteem, and to learn It from yourself makes me supremely happy. You say that your heart is still as warm and faithful as when we parted; and you ask me if I am the same? You know I love you with heart and soul, and cannot change." The letter contained more protestations of the same sort, and though, in general, letters of this character required to be received with allowances, yet in these there was as little nonsense about them as any he (Mr. Scarlett) ever saw. In a postscript it was scat •d, 'lle carpet came home yesterday, and I think it will please you more, now it is down, than it did before." This clearly shewed that she had been consulted in the pur chase of the carpet. At the latter end of the month of February, the defendant communicated to the plaintiff's brother some ides that he entertained of going t) settle at Mexico, with the view of ascertaining the sentiments of her whom he was about to make the partner of his I.le. The Lady at tins time had not the sliglitett idea of anything having taken l lace to change the posi tion in wh:ch she stood : how great, therefore, was her surprise, on the twenty- second Match, 1826, to receive a letter from the defendant, in which he stated, 4 4 That untoward cilscunistanct s had been in progress fur the last two or.three months, and w►thin the last tortnight they had mare clearly developed themselves, rendering it impossible for me t conti at t so s cred an engagement as mar►iage." The letter concluded with stating the impossibility of ever being united to her ; but nulling specific was stated as the reason. Could there, he would ask, be any justification for such a change of opinion, whilst all the circumstances mained unchanged? Nothing could suggest it• his mind as a palliation of such conduct, except be shewn that some very material change had place in the defendant's circumstances. He cases like the present, the very circumstance ot o'3liged to come int s a C.ourt of Justice to ask for pensation was a great aggravation of a grievous. In the present case, there had been nothing either conduct of the young Lady, or of her father, th, subject them to reproach. She therefore came ft as well to vindicate her own character, as in tht of society, for, unless such conduct was check defendant might again repeat the offence of cat ► suffering and distress into the bosom of other females.

The Loan Caw Justice thought that there wit sufficient to a Jury. Mr. GURNEY then addieued the Jury for fendant. He called no witnesses, but spoke in . tion of damages, urging the short and hasty nab the connexion: and though he commented with severity on the conduct of the father, in so hastily ing this action, yet he declared he was instructed to drop an expression witich could reflect on the Lady; he therefore, both on his client's and his part, disclaimed any such intention. He beggr Jury, therefore, not to give such damages as fendant would utterly be unable to pay, since it . account of that inability only that he was called to pay damages at all. The LORD Cum Jusnce said, the plaintiff was doubttclly entitled to a verdict. The question triages_ was for the consideration of the Jury, acquaintance had not been long, and had been I off by the letter of the 22d March. The ground be inferred to be his inability to properly maintain eife. In his letter he alluded to aid received fror father, and the improbability of a repetition of it. 1 these circumstances, it was for the Jury to say what damages should be: it was better, perhaps, plaintiff that the connexion should have been bros.. rather than he should have gone on to the length marrying her, and bringing her into distressed circum• stances.
