DMus et platens user.-- - Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. QOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en- I- 7 raptured 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 shleratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with happiness en 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 pasaions, 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 et the beholder, should also impress bun with the fear of self reproach. Luxurious habits will effeniinize the body —a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the rreinatur, infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago nized indicter more than doubts the chance of relief. To all ate:), 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 *rush —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 refer the suffering community of tither ses (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to oar house, where daily attendance is given for personal con imitation; and letters from the _ountry 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.

Ilet- On the evening of Friday lasf, while the porter at Messrs. "Snell's, carriers, London-wall, was talking with the waggoner, he observed a man on the other side of the horses heisting a chest of tea upon his shoulders, upon which the latter collared him directly. .The fellow hallooed out, and immediately another stout fellow came up to his assistance. Between them, they threw the chest upon the porter's toes, which made him lose his hold of the thief, and at the name instant the new comer struck him a blow in the face. In the interim the thief escaped. The porter, however, seized the fellow who had struck him, and, in spite of a most desperate resistance, secured him. The prisoner gave his name WM. AMIIISOIt, and said he was passing accidentally, when seeing the row, and being drunk, he went into the midst of it, when the porter struck him, and he, in consequence, re turned the blow.—CoMmitted. Maalsiottotton-szatrr.—Mr. Turner, proprietor of the Prince Regent public-house, Woolwich, brought up his own wife, and .7. Locke, an F.tcaeman. He said, some days ago Locke came to take stock • at his house, and took that opportunity of inducing Mrs. Turner to elope with him—she taking at the same time £5OO in cash, and other property. He obtained information which led him to think they had gone to Dover; he went thi ther, and met his wife in a packet office, with her child, seven years of age, arranging for her passage, when he seized her. She expressed great oontrition, and agreed to return. Ile was pre vailed upon by her to return to Woolwich for his chaise cart, that they might get home comfortably together. He hastened back with the chaise, when, to his surprise, he could find no trace of either wife or child ; but after some inquiry, he ascer tained that she and the Exciseman had started from Dover in a post-chaise, on the London•road. He got some traces of them, and followed to the Boar and Castle, Oxford-street ; and beyond that he could obtain no clue until Friday, when he pounced upon them in Oxford -street, charged a constable with them, and now solicited permission to charge them with felony. Plank, on searching Locke, tound in his pockets 112 sovereigns, one guinea, and 12s. 6d. in silver; and tied up in a piece of old stocking, in his coat pocket, were 50 sovereigns.—The Magistrate ordered that the parties should be removed to the place where the offence was said to have been committed. HAtton-Goonm—Jahn rrantlin was charged with cutting and maiming, John 'Reynolds with a knife. The complainant superintended his brother's work, who is a intSin-bakt r in Great Sutton -street, (ilerkenwell. Seeing the prisoner sterling some muffins, he upbraided him ; the prisoner then seized a red-hot iron, and made a thrust at the complainant, who parried it off, when the prisoner struck him with the iron on the arm. Ile then seized a knife, the blade of which was six inches long. Tae complainant ran into the street, and the prisoner ran after him, swearing be would murder him, and made a stab; which the complainant warded off, in doing which his thumb was cut nearly off, and he received a second cut across the back of his hand, which cur through the sinews. The complainant then ran back into the shop, wkere the prisoner pursued him, and again attacked him with the knife, and cut his atm across to the bone, when some persons came to the complainant's ass i stance and se cured the prisoner.—lle was committed for further examination. Woasuir-svanwr.—Five Licensed Victuallers were on Friday severally convicted in the mitigated penalties, one of 10s. two of 20s. and two of 40s. and costs, for keeping their house: open after eleven o'clock at night. In the case of one of them, the oificers stated they were obstructed ty the landlord, and that since th. t night they were offered £4 not to bring' the case before the Ma gistrates. It appeared, however, that the landlord did not iF.tas tionally obstruct them, and that a Gentleman of his own accord "offered a bribe to the officers, thinking it better that he and his friends should not appear at this Office, but the officers declined any compromise on the occasion. Saturday, Middlesex, a man of colour, residing in Cow cross, was fully conitnitted, charged with being a wholesale dealer in counterfeit coin. QUEEN-SQUARE.-THE New nAKEIte ACT.—Satunlay, a per son applied to the Magistrates for a summons against a baker in Westminster, for selling him a loaf deficient in weight. He went to the baker's shop to purchase a 41b. loaf, which was put into the scale by the baker, according to the provisions of the new Bakers' Act, and appeared fully to weigh the weight pat into the opposite scale. He therefore paid for it as a 41b. loaf, and took it away ; btit on his way home, thinking that it .felt rather light, he called at a grocer's shop to have it weighed, and found it six ounces deficient ; and he therefore proceeded di rectly to the Police Office to make complaint. The loaf being weighed in the presence of the Magistrate, proved exactly six ounces short of 41b. but on referring to the Act passed in the laXt Session of Parliament, which repealed all for mer Acts relating to the sale of bread, it was found that no pes natty was therein attached to the sale or deliiery of bread short of weight ; and therefore tbeie was no way of punishing. the fraudulent baker, except under the old law, which subjects to a Pshopkeeper detected in the use or priss,:ssion of tuitshortoY every or deficient weights, but which cannot be put in force un less the weights themselves he produced in evidence. The attention of the members of Annoyance Juries, as they are named, should be particularly directed to this subject, as it is on their activity, zeal, and well-directed exertions alone that the Public must now rely for protection against the fraudulent baker A licensed Victualler was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 10s. and costs, for serving 3 woman with a glass of gin during the time of Divine Service, on the preCeding Sunday. • UNION-HALL.—On Friday an aged man, named George Mills, carman, in the se vice of Messrs.

He called several times to the prisoner to stop, as also did several other persons; hot h continued to drive on, heedless of the damage , be had committed, till he was forcibly arrested, and the number of his wagon taken. Several, persons spoke tothe indifferent conduct of the orbs:eat in continuing to drive on after he had been called upon to stop. The Magistrate called upon the prisoner to answer the complain t. He stated that he stopped as soon as he could, but the mules 'that were in the waggon were very aged. One of them was blind and could not see, and the other was so duany that he could not hear a word, although he called " anon" several times. He there fore begged the Magistrate would deal mercifully with hint The Magistrate told him it was /serried by many persons that he never attempted to stop his Mules, therefore he should order him to find bail to answer the charge.—The prisoner was then locketlnp is default of the required sereties. J. linchalt was charged with robbing Mr. Vine,surgennv of Bast Peckham. Mr. Vine stated, that while passing on Mute day through Sir W. Twisden's grounds, near Mereworth, two fellows, armed with bludgeons , seized hit h orse ' s h ea d, an d threatening to tastier nut his brains , roobed bim of his watch.

Mr. Harris conttssed he had exercised more than , usual echo,' discipline on the occasion, and was willing to settle the business with the youth's friends, on their own terms, for which purpose the; r.:tired. THAMES POLlGE.—tinuong and Acquey, two Chintse, were on Saturday re-examined, charged with assaulting and stabbing . i. Arhang, agother of their countrymen, with intent to murder him. Arhang, who had been supported to the Office, and peered to have been most cruelly used, was then sworn accord ing to the custom of their country—a China saucer being given to Arhmg, and one to the interpreter, they both advanced to ward the window, directed their eyes to Heaven, and repeated in their own tongue the following :—" In the face of Goo I break this saucer; if it conies together again, China-man has told a lie, and expects not to live five days; if it remains asunder, China-man has told the truth, and escap e s t h e vengeance o f t h ALMIGLITV."—They then smashed the saucers to pieces on the floor, and return-d to their.places. The interpreter stated, that Arhang was standing at a window in Ratcl.ff-highway, when the prisoners dragged him into the road, and would have mur. dered him, but for the interference of the Officers. The Ma: gistrate ordered th:rii to find bail; *ten NIL-. West, who at tended for toe Keep -r of the Chinese Barracks, stated it was impossible they could find hail ; and if the Magistrate wouid let them go, he would keep them confined until Thursday, when a ship will sail, and they should be sent home. On this prornite they were discharged. ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE EARL OF CRAVEN'S GAMEKEEPER.—Between twelve and one o'clock (In last Wednesdaynight, as John Watts, gamekeeper to the Earl of CRAVEN, at Coomb Abbey, near Coven try, wai out in the grounds in quest of poachers, he detected two desperate poachers, named Peter Smith and John Porter, sexing snares for game; the vil lains, finding they were discovered, determined to murder him; they attacked him with hedge-stakes, knocked him down, and' inflicted several tremendous blows on his head, and every part of his body, leav ing him for dead ; in this situation he was found sho..tly after by two men who had previously been in company with him, but whobad parted with hirri• for the purpose of exploring other parts of the grounds.
