COCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en k.7 raptured his auditors with the subject, 'that she married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the Mint agreeable and delightful name in nature. .. Thu sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de r.ideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness iin;eardt, , but disposing the soulitself to •harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, hut 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 hint with the fear of self. reproach. Luxurious habits will effentinize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—hut more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition:, front whence the ago nizeil sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—mus cular strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear question able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings. which. concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit • is • often constitutionally weale-e yet it can he strengthened, and defioknt energy imported 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, vie deviate from general principles with less hesitation;.and confident in our own houourable integrity as Members of this College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering conmtunity nieltkei sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once.to our house, where daily atteodance is given for personal con sultation ; and letters from the country are immediately an-' steered ; these must contain a reinitaancafor .Advite, aadrhleth eine, which can be forwarded to,any part of the world,-hoW ever distant. - GOSS and Co.

AND HIS FOSTER-FATUFR.—The Readers of our Bow-street reports will recollect the affair of little Ikckets, the illegitimate and deserted son of a rich man now abroad; the child ivhow wretched mother died soon after his birth, and what, when thus left helpless and destitute, abandoned by the parish because his mother had not affiliated hinewas fostered and reared by a poor labouring man, at Ileston, near Hounslow, named Bell, who had eight children of his own ;.the lad who was shot at apd miserably wounded by a country booby, whom a farmer had in trusted with a gun to frighten the birds front hid corn. If they recollect this story, they will be glad to learn that there are hem volent persons who, in this case, ere " doing good by stealth."— Since the affair was first mentioned,scareely a day has passed with out Sir ittCHARD Mums having received something or other for the use of " Little Beckett and his foster-father," and in every in stance the gifts have been sent anonyMously. He on Friday re ceived 5!. for this . purpose, in a letter signed J.G. and bearing the Watford ' post-mark; and another 51. from A. hi-making the whole amount received, up to this period, 381. This is cheering ; but it is hoped sufficient may be collected to afford some perma nent good to these interesting and deserving individuals. .IJRIO.II—HALL:—EITRAORDINARY TUPOSTOR.—Friday a girl of most fascinating appearance, who has an endless variety el . fumes, wks.breptht before L B. AMEN, Esq. by elle Overseers el Ber mondsey, Charged with having become a pauper of that parish, under circumstances of the very grossest deception. 111 r. I lol land Sehe overseer) stated, that the prisoner had been picked up in Bermandiey-street, and conveyed to the Workhouse in a state of great apparent distress and league. , She then stated that the had just walked up from Hythe, in Kent, where she Mid-been seeking her mother withoiet effect. The greatest interest sees excited by her appearance and the eloquent manner in which she detailed a long series of calamities; and her case was investi gated in the Corrinaltfee4nom where she said she was the daugh ter of a private in the 19th Regiment of.Foet, and was born at Malta, from whence she went with the Regiment to the West Indies, America, and Italy. The liktor, however, caused some doubt as to her veracity, and, close inquiry being made, she was found to be a most abominable liar. On a farmer occa sion this young lady had declared, in the most pceitiVe manner, that letters, denying the truth of her story, were fabricatious, - and that the Parish was imposed upon by her enemies. NIr.A 1.- LEN then referred the investigation to the Menaicity Society, and a person from the office of that Institution attended the Ma gistrate on Friday, accompanied by a number of Parish Officers on whom she had imposed. It was stated to Mr. Attie, that the prisoner was wonderfully skilled in the art of imposture, and had amongst her dupes some persons of the highest rank. A let ter had been received by the Society from the Dowager Lady Stamford, enclosing the Petition of the prisener, who was men tioned in it as Lucy Hartly. Miss Hartly had been also recom mended by Miss Walpole, at whose door she had been found in a condition scarcely paralleled. Relief was forthwith granted, and letters were sent to the places where the prisoner said she was known and respected ; but before the answers were received, she • disappeared. Two days after her last visit to the Society, pretty good evidence that she was an impostor arrived 'I he Master of Whitcchapcl workhouse said, that the prisoner was A pauper in that parish for many years, and had been bound apprentice to a coach-builder, front whose service she ran to try the experiment of working upon humanity. Her real name was Maria Hughes, and-her brother was now in the workhorse. Since lierlight from her appreptieeehip, she had been frequently passed to her parish ; the last time being in May, 1890, when she was sent from Kingston-upon-Themes. She had also been at St. Martin's workhouse, from which she absconded, after having robbed some of the inmates of 30/. or 401. The witness informed the Magistrate that he bad heard she would, at the, death.dlf a. near relation, be entitled to the sum of 6001. or 7001.
