Hos. Thy house, and ((in the cup of life, That honer drop) thy pleasing wife. SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men new 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 mate in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses, the de• sideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only whit happiness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to barnurase with bliss hereafter. _ _ _ previous, however, to entering into tots hallowed obligation, I it becomes an imperative duty, not on/7 to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which theireedom of unrestricted pleacurs mai have entailed upon It. To the neglect of such attentita are attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite thf commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the feat of self riTmach• Luxurious habits will effeminize 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.

It is very remarkable that a similar shock was partially felt throughout this colony on the ,ame day, and about the same hour. The Portuguese brigantine Constante, taken in 014 Calebar river by the boats of hi., Majs..sty's ships Tartar and Thistle, was on Tuesday last condemned as lawful prize to the British and Portuguese Crowns, and the slaves on board her were emancipated. Dasanruz Occunantscz.—ln further accumula• non of the horrors incident to the Slave Trade, we have to notice the fate of the Spanish slaving schooner Carlota, which sunk a few days since off the Galli. nas, with a full complement of slaves on beard. The Carlota sailed from the Havannah, and was found at the Gallinas by Sir George Collier, in his voyage down the coast. The cargo of the Carioca was on shore, with every appearance that it was in the course of barter for slaves. The Commodore took her down as . far as Cape Coast, and after authenti cating some papers to• shew the illegality of her voyage, allowed her to depart. She returned, it ap. pears, to the Gallinas, and there took in 250 slaves, with whom she sailed from the coast ; but before she had proceeded far, she was taken unprepared by a tor nado, overset, and sunk, and all on board perished, with the exception of twelve! The intelligence of this horrid event has been brought to the colony by three Spanish sailors belonging to the vessel, who arrived a few days since in a 'fay small boat, in a wretchedly exhausted condition. They wei e imme diately placed in the military hospital, where. not withstanding the greatest attention and kindest treat ment, one of them has since died; the other two con• tinue in a very weak state. JUNI 2. It was reported in Freetown. in the early part of the week, that the Foulah Chiefs had been stopped at Kookoona on their return from this settlement to their own country, and had been compelled to pur chase their passage by surrendering to the Chiefs of the place a considerable portion of the valuable pre sents received - by them here, and of the trade goods obtained exchange for their cattle. We trust this is not true in the full extent, for it would then throw great difficulties in the way of the establishment of a resttlair intercourse by the new path : it is, however, mute in the line of African usage, that passengers should pay tolls in going through the towns of power ful Chiefs in proportion to the wealth which they carry with them. A table, formerly the property of the gtea' t FRANI. us, was sold by auction, at Boston, on the Ist inst. for twenty dollars. SINGULAR P.lnanxis.--Motrraear., AUGUST, 1 We have learned the following particulars from a Gentleman lately from the Three Riven A young man, living on the opposite bank of the river, affi anced to a girl of the same place, went down ,to Quebec; he there became acquainted with another girl, whom be married. After his return, the disap pointed one, meeting her successful rival on the beach, and deriving strength from jealousy, seised her, flung her to the earth, and when she opened her mouth, to scream for assistance, crammed it full of sand. The unfortunate being, fearful of being stifled, endea voured to keep her mouth shut ; but gasping for breath, was obliged to re-open it, and at each attempt to respire, received an additional handful, till she at length fell a victim to the diabolical rage of her enemy. The murderess ism jail at the Three Rivers. Foartnta-Tmatio.--Much attention was last week excited in the town of'Boston, by a remarkable in stance of simple credulity and deception. A fortune teller, who styled herself a wise woman, was for some weeks resident in that town, through which she inse niously caused the following address, in manuscript, to be privately circulated on small pieces of paper : " Ladies, if you wish to know what is past, or what is to come, any questions asked can be resolved by Mrs. Tilford, dealer in Ladies wash-balls, lodged at Mrs. Tomlinson's, Petticoat-lane, Boston." Last Monday evening, a servant-girl called upon Mrs. Tilford, who pervaded her to borrow and bring to her lodgings twenty-four pound notes, on a promise that thl man she would marry should that night appear at her bedside, provided she slept with that sum of money in the inside of her stays.-- The girl, who placed the notes on a chest of drawers, kept her eyes fixed upon them, but so far becam e this dupe of the fortune-teller, that when she unrolled, at seven o'clock the next morning, the piece of brown paper into which she imagined she saw them put one by one, she found nothing in it but another piece of paper, for the notes had remained in the hands of Mrs. Tilford,who decamped from her lodgings during Monday night, and left Boston by the Perseverance coach on Tuesday morning at four o'clock. As the girl, in obedience to the injunction of her deceiver, did not unloose the paper fromphlenertsytanyfstibrenfeoreto elude her pursuers, the uerl? nu anir frustrate the means which were as soon as possible taken for her apprehension. She is a tall middle aged woman, of imposing minuets and genteel address.
