SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en- UU his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to theirwives, 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 happiness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passion!, 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 habits will efferninize the body—a rnidence 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 chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy--mus cular strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear question-I 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 weak— yet it can be streugtheued, 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 io our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer 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 front the country are immediately an swered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medi cine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, how ever distant.

Mr. Lane, who is a builder, residing in Holton, stated, that on Friday night, as he was returning home, the prisoner rushed on him, when he pulled his watch from his pocket. He laid hold of the prisoner, who threw the watch on the ground; Mr. Lane, with the hope of taking it up, let hint go, but befOre he could accomplish his purpose a man in company with the prisoner seized• it and ran away.

Upon inquiry he found that the wounded boy bad been quarrelling with the prisoner about a boat, and that he had received the wound from him in consequence of having in sisted upon taking hold of it. The prisoner had assured Thatcher, that Übe persisted in his object a knife should go into him. The threat was not considered as serious, but Thatcher was mistakvn, for immediately afterwards he received the stab. Painter said he took the wounded boy to a surgeon, who ex amined the wound, and was of opinion that no danger was to.le apprehended. The escape of Thatcher, however, was a very narrow one, as the penknife with which the wound was infi.cted had nearly penettatid the bowels. The prisoner, who is no more than twelve years old, was re manded for, further examination. MAILY.LA.BOINL Orricr.—An application was on Saturday made to ions Rawlassos, Esq. the Magistrate, by Mr. !tosser, a Solicitor, and another :Gentleman, respecting a Lady, who, for a number of years past, had, by her insane acts, attracted ;be attention of the residents of the Elgeware-road. The applicants stated to the Magistrate, that for some time past this Lady, who is in possession of some property, had re sided in a I ‘,..ahtsid house of her's, in John -street, Etigeware- road, and from her singular conduct, was considered by all to !.e in sane; latterly the neighbourhood was kept in continual alarm, by the maniac's wayward and turtralent actions ; she had an nounced her intention of burning the house, and some effort, were made to-obtain an entrance. bnt it was found Impassible; the doors and windows were strongly secured, and the promises . were defended-by two fierce dogs, her only companions, which, en any alarm ; raised a dreadful outcry; she also had secured the windows and doors of the rear of the house, which adjoins the well-known stable, the memorable scene of the last effort of Thistiewood and capture of his hand of conspirators. The poor Lady, upon this subject, often harangued trona an upper win.. dow ; numerous Instances of her insane conduct were stated, and an order was rrquestrd to convey her to a place of safrty, as the neighbours all believed, from what they sound hear and see, that the maniac was preparing to burn the house, and make, as she once exultingly declared, the burning ruin her funeral pifts. The Magistrate granted a warrant to place her in safety, and it being made out was placed in the h'nds of Welans and Howell, the officers, who burst into the !pause, and, having silenced the dogs, made a search for the insane Lady, whom they per ceived posted at the head of the stairs awaiting their oast ; she was armed with a large knife, which she brandished round her head. She appeared a powerful robust woman, about 40 years of age; her long and matted heir hung disordered about her face, which was distorted by violent anger—so much so as td ex cite in the minds of the officers a doubt whether they were gazing on a human being ; she called on them with a piercing yell to come on at their peril, as she would hurl them into eternity by blowing up the house. The officers, however, steadily advanced towards her, and rushing on her, alter a long and powerful struggle they succeeded in securing and placing her in a hackney coach, and conveying her to the Mary-la-Bonne Infirmary, where every accommodation was pro vided for and humane attention paid her by direction of the Parochial Officers. The house was in a very filthy state, and there was scarcely any furniture; holes had been dug in the walls, &c. which were filled with combustible materials, and brimstone, matches, straw, &c. all seemed ready for the despe rate act which was supposed to be in her contemplation. Sostnot.ENcv.—A singular affection has been ob served in a mendicant, aged 79, •in the Infirmary of Mentz. This man slept without waking eighty days. When they sought to awaken him by violent ahaking, he sometimes uttered an inarticulate sound, and would swallow two or three spoonfuls of wine or broth, and then relapse into his usual state. All stimulants we?c, applied in vain, and on the eightieth day he expired. MAD DODS.—A few days ago the daughter of Mr. T. Wild, of the Rodney public-house, in Loxley, re. ceived a severe bite from a strange dog, while pity ing on the road near her father's house. In a few minutes after this lamentable event had taken place, a person called at the above house.to,say, that there was a dog of very singular appearance under a hay stack in the immediate neighbourhood. Mr. Wird, with a few others, hastened to the place, and as soon as the dog saw them it made an attack on Mr. Wild ; he shot, and afterwards broke his . !On upon it to avoid its bite. The dog made. a second attack ba another individual, but was repulsed 6y a large Stone It then bit a fine pointer which was with them, and made off. It was steadily pursued a past bridge, Stacy, Old worth, the Gate, Wsirall;Wads. ley, and back to the Rodney, where, entering a small shecrit was shot. Iry its way it was seen to bits u great number of dog s and pip, 'together with'one young man. The body of the animal has been opened, and carefully esamined by' furgeptil and he gives it as his decided opinion, that there were visible signs of hydrophobia. We understand that the dog went from Sheffield to the Owlerton toll-gate early in the afternoon of the same day, where it bit several do.'s and one child. On the same day ancther dog was seen in Loaley, cif the madness of which little doubt was entertained; but what direction it took cannot now be ascertained. There may be Fu .lie nuisances of various kinds, but it is doubtful wile- • tber one more hateful or disgusting, than the number of useless dogs now kept, can be found. Surely these circumstances call-loudly on the inhabitants of Shef field (and every other town) to chain op, or cbsnoy their dogs, that such dreadful evils malr be femovcd . • arnpng us. • • This day were published, beautifully printed in post Bvo. with a Portrait, price 10s. 6d.
