SOCRATES, by his discourse on l‘Parriage, 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 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 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 those hapless instances, which, while they excite the corhmiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminiu 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 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. '11.: easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for :he female habit is often constitutionally weak— yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved Into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, u well as in every re- Location 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 refer the suffering community of either :ex (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.

HOWARD AND GIBBS'S BANKRUPTVZ Saturday being the day appointed for the nomi nation of Assignees to the Estate of Howard and Gibbs, the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, where the Commissioners sat, was crowded before one o'clock. A creditor named Vest ipplkd to prove a debt of '1:390 upon a bill which he cashed for Mr. Taylor, of Pall-Mall, who said he wanted the money for a Gentleman named Primrose. Mr. West stated, that having money lying by him, which he had obtained from his uncle to set himself up in business, he div. counted the bill, considering it to be a good one, and wishing to have interest for money which he was not then using in business. Mr. MONTAGUE inquired where this Mr. Taylor lived ? Mr. West replied that he resided in Pall-Mall. Mr. MONTAGUE.--. 15 not his house called Heaven? Mr. West.—l do not know what it is called. He then underwent an examination from Alr.Tas- BECK, the chief Commissioner, in the course of which he declared that there was no gambling transaction connected with the bill on which he proved, and that he should have sooner, come forward to prove as a creditor upon this estate, had he not been out of town during the former meetings: Mr. MONTAGUE next appeared in behalf of Mr. Chaplin, who claimed a debt of £2BO. Messrs. TRESLOVE and F. POLLOCK contended, that from what had transpired on a former day on the subject of this claim, there was reason to connect a usurious contract with the transaction, which ren dered it impossible to admit the present proof of debt. Mr. MONTAGUE, for the claimant ; said the settled law was, that if any usurious transaction had taken place, and the money were paid, there was no action, nor any Court in which the excess of interest, or, in other words, the usurious dealings could be de stroyed, and the money recovered back. When the money was paid, the time for recovering it back was at an end. Besides, in the present case the claim was on an account quite distinct from any previous one; and although there might have been usuriousness in a former account, yet such usuriousness had nothing whatever to do with a fresh account, the fornier being altogether closed. When an account was thus set tied, the Commissioners could not open or look into .it. The first account was settled at the end of 1819, and the claim now made was in consequence of a new transaction taking place in the end of the year 1820. On these grounds he thought the claim, being as it was on a bill of exchange, could not he rejected. Mr. TRESLOVE, in reply, observed, that he was ra ther unprepared to argue so grave a question upon the instant, but contended that nothing was urged by Mr. Montague to support the claim. Mr. TKEBECK was anxious for time to consider this question, because he was rather of opinion that they could not give a satisfactory opinion without more information. The Commissioners then decided that the claim should stand over. Mr. TRESLOVE requested to know whether the Commissioners were now ready to pronounce their adjudication in the case of Mr. Grinstead, whose claim had already undergone much investigation. After a long conversation between Counsel and the Commissioners, Mr. TREBECK said, that they could not allow the claimant to prove upon such evidence as that which had been submitted to them. Several unopposed claims were then admitted, and the parties qualified to vote for the appointment of assignees. The regular lists were then prepared for taking the votes of creditors in the appointment of assignees ; but Captain Havilock, who is a creditor to a large amount, declined signing till he saw the progress of the voting. After waiting above an hour for that purpose, he still remained undecided, and intimated his intention not to sign either list then, hot to re main neuter between the two large bodies of creditors. This determination of Captain Havilock was re ceived with loud demonstrations of satisfaction among the crowd. After the lists were closed and handed up to the Commissioners, they were declared as follows: For the appointment of Messrs. Carroll, Duff, and Wilkie, to be assignees, creditors to the amount of El 7,738. 1 ls. 30. voted For Messrs. Shaw and Pearson, the voting creditors amounted to £17,324. 14s. 3d. Messrs. Carroll, Duff, and Wilkie, were accord. ingly chosen assignees. An application was then made to the Court, that Captain Havilock should have permission to sign, but this was refused by the Commissioners, mho ob served that it was too late for the Captain now to declare a change of his determination. It was, how ever, still open to him to apply to another Court. Some demonstrations if satisfaction were again expressed, and censuied by the Commissioners as im proper and indecent on such an occasion. The Commissioners then adjcurned. The amount of sterling money to be invested by tie Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt for the Quarter, from ale 11th October, 1821 to the sth January, 1822, is £1,131,527 ss. S iturday last, Mr. OLIVER KIRBY, Stock-broker, of Finch-lane, Coynhill, was brought up to Hatton garden Office, on a warrant, by Limbrick and Thisel. ton, charged by Mr. FRANCIS ItENY LE ESTRANGE, a Surgeon, of Euston.square, with having sent him a challenge, exciting him to fight a duel. The was rant upon which the defendant had' been apprehended, was backed by the LORD MAYOR, on account of the defendant's residing in the city, although the offence was committed in the county. Oa the pHs: ner be ing placed at the bar, the challenge was handed to the Magistrate, and the poisoner admitted it to be his hand-writing. The Magistrate then ordered him to enter into recognizauces, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each, to keep the peace towards the complainant, which being dune, be uas discharged.
