Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. lI.IPPIN ,:S5 " the gay to-morrow cf tho mind" is ensured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend :hip," :4 a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, 37.ys Johnion, ' 6 we approach in some degree of association w ith cele..ial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into the halloweJ obligation of .carriage, it becomes an impressive duty, nut only to regulate the passions, hut to cleanse the grosser nature front those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such att en t ion,are attributable many of those hapless instances ,e filch, while they mite the commiseration of the beholder, shot& also Impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminise the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the pre mature infatuation of youth, too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, front whence the agonised suffered more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—musculer strength—felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful experience. The ea , y cares of married life are sontaintes disturbed by the sus pension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strength. coed, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation 01 the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyric from the piei.ion so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffer ing community of either Sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our L. use, milers daily attendance is given for per sonal consultation ; and letters from the country are immediately an swered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which can be forwarded to any part of th e world, however dist mt.

The committee r re not taimiued to her Mak st: . 's pre‘a rec. as they had expected, but the address having been forwarded to her Majesty, the following an...w-r was received by them on the same day—Friday sennight:— " Mr. Barton hue been honoured by tee:Ash - 4 the commands of the Queen to acquaint tie deputation of silk.weavms, that her Majesty rr . ceives with pleasure their very respectful and loyal address of congratu latioti on the advancement of her Majesty to the throne.

Oats silk-weavers, eat, so far lir' example can product any henefieie influence in their behalf, her Majesty has made use of it, and continues, by wearin,f articles of their manufacture, to promote their general itue. ! rest ; :Intl net Majesty is ;.ratified upon le:trninr, that at the present moment the trade of Spitalfielis is rather revived from the state of (le. prosion to which it has lat!erle bet n so much reduetti. " To the 11)eputation of Silli.wesvers, lialtien.cross, Ptincr's-strect." The athlren to the King was then discuased. In it the wearers, after condoling with his Majt,ty upon the death of the late King his brother, and coogratula!;n i ; ;:is Majesty upon his accession to the throne, pro ceeded to state the depres:cd t.tate of their trade, occasioned, in their opietioi:, by trce trade a:.tl the superseding of manual labour 1:y ma chinery. Mr. WALLIS said the commits ie left this address at the office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on the 6th of September, and on the 111th reeds - eft a note informing them that Sir Robert Peel had not failed to transmit it to his Majesty. Not hearing any thing further of their address. they wrote to Sir Robert Peel on the Ilth of October as follows : " Sta—The Cam:duet of Broad Silk Weavers of Spitalfields having done themselves the honour of addressin!: his Majesty in the name of their trade, and having left the address at the Home Office, for presen tation on Monday, the 6:h of September, and having been honoured by a note, dated September 18, to inform us that you had transmitted the address to his Majesty, we feel a little surprised at not receiving any further communication, and under some embarrassment as to allaying the anxit ty of the mule. We therefore request the honour of your at. tention to the pu.priety of an inquiry in the proper iittett.r as to obtain ing an answer front his Majesty as early as possible, in order that we may be able w lay the same before the trade in the usual way. We arc, &c. (S:gticii) " Joint Posture, " WM. WALLI3, " En. SEWELL." In reply to this the fullosing was received:— " Whitehall, Oct. 13. " Sir-1 am ditectcd by Secretary Sir Robert Peal to inform you, in reply to your letter of the llth instant, that he is not able to give ahy information respecting the address of the bro 4 silk weavers of Spital fields, besides that contained in his former Liter. `• S. M. PHILLIPS." " Mr. John Puytan, 3, Underwood -street, Milc.end New Town." Mr. WALLIC said, that nothing further had been heard by the com mittee of the address, and he could not help thinking that it must have miscarried, when he contrasted the present with anotiwr occasion when an address was presented to the Duke of Clarence, and his 3lajesty's known condescension in invariably acknowledging and answering the addresses of 116 loyal subjects. There was a general feeling of dismatisfaction at the non-acknowledgs meat of the address, and after several speeches on the subject, a resolu tion was passed : " That the address to Ids Majesty be persevered in ; and the com. mittee continue to c.rry tie presenting it into effect, in order to obtain an answer." The meeting then proceeded to discuss the propriety of adopting some VIM general application for an adv.,nce of priers, and separated, after having adopted, sonic resolutions on the sohjLet. THE UTTERERS OF FORGED NOTES IN THE NORTH Monday Nit.. Gates, the solicitor to the Association of Towo mid Country Bankers for protection from forgery and fraud, arrived in :own front the northern counties, where he had been occupied for some day a in obtaining information respecting the gang of utterers who have been uttering forged notes or. Messrs. Arkwright's bank to the public. His object in coming to town by express was in order to consult Go. vernment on the subject of the extensive forgeries which are now circu lating through the country. lie has succeeded in getting ten of the well-known persons employed in passing the notes apprehended. One of the most able and ingenious of the utterer is a publican named Greenbanks, who keeps a snug house of entertainment for man and horse near Sheffield. Mr. Gates learned that this man had gone to se veral of the market-towns with a great many of the forged notes, and officers were placed in the neighbourhood of his house to watch fur and apprehend him on his return. He had just left the top of a stage coach, and was walking towards his house by a back way, when the po lice pounced upon him. lie had passed his share of the forged notes on his travels, and had his pockets loaded with sovereigns, the produce of his labours. Greenbank's house, it has been ascertained, is what is called " a regular stop," from the facilities which it has often afforded to thieves in escaping pursuit. The moment one of the "copes" rode into the yard, his horse was taken to a place of concealment and locked up, and when inquiry was made, the landlord said, with some truth, that the person sought for did not pass that house. Greenbanks having been seized about a quarter of a mile from his house, the intelligence reached two others of the gang who were there waiting for him, and who contrived to escape. Evidence was brought forward to prove that Greenbanks had passed :AMC of the spurious notes, and he was fully committed for trial. The officers next took into custody a very desperate fellow named Cutts, who has been some time known as a " caper." Ile was in a house in the neighbourhood of Chesterfied, and the moment he heard the officers at the door, he ran to the window. threw it up. and was about to spring into the river, when Bishop, the officer, caught him by the leg, and clapped a pair of hand-cuffs upon him. A great deal of gold was found upon the person of Cutts ; so that if he had succeeded in springing into the river, he would must probably have been drowned, the swag was so heavy. A woman, named Martin, was also fully committed for trial for ut. tering forged notes with a guilty knowledge. She had dealt round about the country most extensively, and a great number of the notes; were traced to her. A woman, named Singleton, the wife of Nathan Singleton, was appu•hended for passing one of the forged notes. She appeared to be quite ignorant of the spuriousness of time note, and frankly admitted that she had received it front her husband. In most instances the articles purchased for the purpose of getting rid of a bad note seldom cost so much as a shilling—that sum was the maximum of purchases all through. In a great number of instances a note was changed for a pint or a glass of ale. As the agent of the associated bankers troves. d the c. ovary, lie often asked the landlord of an inn whether he had ant• of Ark *right's notes, and upon being answered in the affirmative, lie avail' at the instrument. and pronounced it fictitious. The first issue of forged notes, it is stated by a store (an intornier,) amounted to (lOU, and those were quickly got rid or, to the loss, to those who bold thou, of 2,500 L The smashers call the first issue, the '• prime sale and delivery." Two of the most prominent diameters amongst the gang were traced to various places in Wales, and to Liverpool, from whence they had just sailed in an American packet. It is rather singular, that in Wales DO active assistance was given to those who were in pursuit, by the con stables ; but Mr. times was most powerfully aidtd by Mr. Lavender of Manchester, Mr. Timms, and the rest of the very efficient body of police there. It is miser odd that no forged notes were found upon any of the prisoners, except upon one, named Dunn, who bad sixteen of them in iris pocket. Upon one occasion. the police went into a house to look for an utterer, who was concealed there. One of the offiiers nu up to the bed rooms, and, going over to a bed, saws person lying ♦ety stilt. 1 6 ' Halloo," said he, " my good fellow " (believing that he had got his man,) " why don't you turn out 1 you can't sleep here all day, you know." To this remonstrance the officer received no answer. "Oh ! STATE OF HOLLAND. The folios ing later is from se Englishman, long settle:l in arse ni the principal towns of Holland: -- -• In Holland there is only one party—.all equally Dutch, and the.. :11Vc had almost ell the loaves and fishes among them.
