Demur et plasmas axon . Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That hone).4rop) thy pleasing wife. SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; ± and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de sideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with happingu on earth, but disposing the soul itself to haltuonixe with bfiss hereafter. . 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 freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of thoie hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self reproach. Luxurious habits will effesninize 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 natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago nized sufferer more than doubts the ch ance. of relief. To all such, then, .we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—mus cular strength—felicity ; nor win our advances appear question able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty ye ars successful experience. 'lbe easy cares of mauled life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak — yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every case -of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every re laxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyric from the position 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 Peter the suffering community of either sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal con sultation; and letters from the country are humediately an- I swered ; these must contain a rernittatice for Advice and Medi cine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, how ever distant.

This appeal Is brought from two interlocutors, pronounced on the 2d of June, 1821, and 18th June, 1822, by the Second Divi sion of the Court of Session; and it relates to the validity of a claim made by the appellant to the privilege of being enrolled as a freeholder in the County of Dumbarton. The Court having ordered his name to br expunged from the roll, _ _ _ . - The LOAD CHAN C KLLO a moved, that the interlocutors below be affirrned.—Ordered. Serval and others, Appellants, v. Damer, Clerk, Respondent. This cause came by appeal from the F.nglish Court of IL:che quer. It relates to a claim of tithes. Counsel were called in, to resume the argument commenced on Monday. Mr. Barber, in conclusion, was heard for the ap pellants—Mr. Attorney-General and Mr. Martin (in part) for the Reverend respondent.—To proceed farther on . Frlday. The Right Hon. Lawn Atszawora, Earl of &Arms, and his Curator at Law, Appellants , v. Sir Gismos Aszacaossay, of Birkenbogue, art. Respondent. This was an appeal from the Lords of Session in Scotland, as Commissioners appointed by Parliament for plantation of Kirks (Churches), and valuation (commutation) and sale of Tithes; and the question raised between the parties relates to the proper mode of imposing the Minister's stipend of the Parish of For dyce, in the County of Banff, on the tithes of that Parish. The cause was fully and very ably argued before the House in May last, by Mr. AttorneyXleneral and Mr. Robertson for the appel lants, and Mr. Solicitor-General (Hope) and Mr. 'Moncrieff for the respondent. Judgment was then deferred; but this morning The'Logo Criaxcitioa delivered in at the table a draft of the judgment proposed to be given in this case, and respecting which his Lordship said he bad received certain communications from the parties, to whom the House had directed it to be made known. It is long, and amounts, in effect, to an affirmance of the judgments below. The Noble and Learned Lord now moved, that it be adopted as the final judgmeat of the House.—Ordered. About one o'clock the Marquis of LORDONDRRST was intro- duced by the Earl of Smarrassear and the Earl of Batrrot, on his attaining to the dignity of a Peer of the United Kingdom,. by the patent titles of Earl of Vane and Viscount Seaham, pre ceded by Garter King at Arms, His Lordship was dressed in the full uniform of Colonel of the 10th Hussars, and decorated with the Orders he had received froni Foreign Powers. Soon after the Loan CHADCRLLOR left this House, having ad journed during pleasure, and repaired to his Majesty's Palace, in where the Recorder was appointed to mak* his Report to the King, and a Chapter of the Goner was also to be held. At a quarter to five o'clock their Lordships resumed, when the Earl of Livearoot, by command of his Majesty, laid upon the table two bags containing Papers relating to the Slave Trade. Mr. Moues, from the Treasury, presented the Sixth Re port of the Commissioners for Inquiry with regard to the Ite venue of Ireland. Mr. Bsooots and others,from the House of Commons, brought up the Ireland Tithes Composition Bill, the East India Trade Bill, and the General Distilleries Bill, with the Amendments in each agreed to by the other House. Upon the motions of the Earl of SHATTESIRIST, the Cork Ge neral Sessions Bill, the East India Mutiny Bill, the Ireland Law Expenses Bill, the Millbank Penitentiary Bill, and the Scotland Commissaries Bill, were severally read a third'time, Passed, and messaged to the Commons. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he had three Petitions to present to their Lordships against the third reading, which stood for to-day, of the Silk Manufacturers Bill. The first Petition was from the Silk.weavers of Coventry, and was signed by 6000 names; the second Petition, from the Silk-weavers of Maccles field, was signed by 2000 names; and the third (we could nut hear whence) was signed by from 200 to 300 names.—The three Petitions were received, and laid upon the table of the House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had called for the Order of the Day, when The Earl of ABERDEEN, in consequence of what passed on a former night, moved for certain Returns of specific issues in trials had before the Scotch Jury Court in civil causes; which mo tion, on explaining with the Earl of ROSSLTD, was agreed to. THE SPITALPIELDS ACTS REPEAL BILL. Lord BEXLEY, in moving the Order of the Day for the third reading of the present. Bill, said, it was a great satisfaction to him.to reflect, that, before the measure cane to this important stage, their 'Lord. ships had given 'full attention to the representations of those persons who conceived they alone were likely to suffer by the enactment of the proposed Bill.• The Petitioners had been Attended to throughout, they had enjoyed the assistance of able and learned Coun sel in suppciit of their statements, and th*re hUcl never been Wanting some Noble Lords, •even in the Committee, to place the predicament of - opponents to thismeasure in the most striking light . Certainly no body of Petitioners had ever more deserved-the con- sideration of 'the House, in respect to their unifoim' good conduct, steady loyalty, and moral chaiacter. t was undeniAble,.at the same time, that the present Bill was not in reality a novel measure; it originated in the Report *of the Committee on Foreign Trade during the year 1820, who were of opinion that what w so hee e n r rt eeßpcei ll se m d, a,os and, n b l r y o cuag up on l h l e t d i nt tboies the S re p c i oo t a tm l h fie erer l e d lin s t Acs autsiee t a o ughtpre sent ebt tequently had come regularly up to their Lordships, who were about to dispose of it. Here he must de clare, from the best attention he could give to• this subject, that it was desirable no longer to continue, in regard to this manufacture, a system of regulation and restraint which other trades were nix subject to. if it were required to chew the necessity that appeared for relaxing our system with regard to the Metropo lis, it ought to be stated that while the consumption of silk had risen from eight hundred thousand lbs. to two million lbs. a year, that increase had, how ever, been much less in London than in other parta; and, therefore, the silk trade of London was ma nifestly at a disadvantageous point of comparison.-- One reason which induced the Committee to recom mend the taking off the Spitalfields Acts was because they contained no limitation as to the time for bring-. ing actions and recovering costs; but this was not the only point on w hi c h ne i t h er the petitioners nor their masters could agree. It was, besides, the firm opinion of the masters that the trade could no longer be carried on as hitherto in Spitalfields, with out great detriment to all capital that might hereof ter be embarked in it. Under these circumstances there appeared to be no fairer ground than compromise, if that could have been effected. If the manufacturer should transfer his trade to a distant part, it would enable him to evade the regulations with regard to wages ; but this sheaved the great inconvenience arising from a restrictive system. There was another point in the differences of wages for plain goods and figured goods; for though in the manufacture of plain silks the remuneration was pretty plain, yet there was no standard of payment for the manufac ture of figured silk:. Whatever view he took, the manner of regulating the wages of the workmen was complicated and unsatisfactory to all parties. It happened that at one period two hundred new articles were manufactured, when disputes arose as to the amount of payment,and the Magistrates were appeal_d to; yet, alter five days' hearing of Counsel, the Magistrates were unable to deternsirie and order the proper rate fur paying the men. Here, indeed, he would refer to the evidence of Mr. Hailes before the Committee, when asked with respect to the fluctua tions in the payment for the manufacture of fancy articles ;—what was that gentleman's answer ? He avowed that it would require a Standing Committee for the year to regulate the prices for fancy work. Was such a proposition to disencumber the difficulty fit to be adopted as a regulation for any free trade? Had he himself heard nothing else, that single answer would have fixed his opinion in the present case. Now the great defect with respect to all figure and fancy articles was, under this system, that the manufacturer of both was leaving the metropolis, at a time when nearly one-fourth of the looms were employed' in getting - up articles not subject to the regulation prices. It had been alleged by Noble Lords who dis approved of the Bill now proposed, that the silk trade had been quiet, and the wor kmen in perfect order. since the passing of the existing Acts ; but here it should be observed, that although some disturbances were on record in earlier times, those were got over four years before the passing of the Regulation Acts. He considered that he was consulting the real inte rests of the weavers, though not perhaps their present feelings, by supporting this Bill; for in the absence of that beneficial .compromise so much wished for, it was desirable to relax such regulations as appeared to be mischievous to the trade; and he conceived that the Acts now in existence were not necessary for the protection of the workmen, in an unfettered state of the trade ; bat he was sorry to say from all the experience he had, that it was impossible to reconcile the parties to the least relaxation of what they conceived to be their charter. Their Lordships were reduced to this —that the existing Acts must either stated or fall; and they could not stand as they were, without driving the trade out of London altogether. Was it better, that the masters should, instead of lowering the wages, limit the work of the weavers—an alternative by which the latter would be as effectually reduced, as if the Acts were repealed at once? All these irre gularities and anomalies could not consort with the system of free trade. It would be better to open more freedom for the article, as it respected the raw mate rial. Let the duty on the importation be reduced, and that on the foreign manufactured commodity be raised, and he entertained no fear as to the result. It was gratifying to state upon this subject, that the Com mittee had before them specimens of British menu- factured silks far, very far superior to those of France, both in appearance and utility; and this was one rea son that :hewed the impropriety of ;Ere system of non-regulaticn for the manufacture of fancy goods, as to the payment of the workmen, under the exist ing Acts. We had at present no foreign muslias, no foreign calicoes, no foreign cotton; and were our wasbt to his opinion on the manufacture carried to the extent of its capability, we might very shortly have no foreign silks. Pe (Lord B.) had only to regret, in now moving the third reading of the Bill, that the measure should be supposed one likely to aggrieve so praiseworthy a body of men; but he hoped time would remove the delusion under which they laboured in this respect. The Earl of HA R ROWBY was sorry to be obliged to differ from' his Noble Friends near him ; but , the present'ilips qu Bill ght was t o to ne p , a isas.his Perhaps , opinion, ugni;w i n,ee a at which ch the constant o their andg is s:haa Lci dnisv:a r an d nte: t - s o t i lige dghtt oft ttoenootn ha v ingthcr Committee mention t h ha ee t e h a e hte ; lauestion was-formed in a great degree from circum stancespurnecicatitht ofink:hfoosreinssutabree, a t d ta the th i e r Lo Cn rd ai sh i i tci p tee s ui o .te u li g ia l e i d t de not to cooclude t that the presence of a great body of manufacturer*, though differing in some respects Isom the society 'they /nixed with, was in itself an evil.
