DMUS et Amens Thy house, and (In the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. OCRATES, by his Discourse on Marriage, so enrap S tured his auditors with the subject, that the married ben 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 desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli trillion, it becomes an Imperative duty, not only to regulate the passicns, hut to cleanse the grosser nature from those infperities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have effitalled upon it. To the neglect of suck attentioa are attributable, many of those hapless instances, which while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also hopreks him with the fear of self-reproach. Usurious habits will effeminize the body-v-a testdeoceln the tropics will relax the elude fibre—but more especially does the premature icfatustion of youth too frequently epos promise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity: nor will our advances appear questionable. sanctioned as they are by the Multiplied proofs of twenty years iuccessful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings whied concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, end deficient energy im proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic Intrusion, as well as In etery relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empiric from the position so presumptu gusty 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 suffer ing community of either Sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at onee to our house, where daily attend ance is given for personal consultation; and letters from tne cnuntry are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forward ed to any part of the world, however distant.

M•NNING brought op the London Docks company ID from the House of Common.. The Scotch Turnpike Road Bill was read a third time and passed. The Felo de Se Bill was read a second time. LONDON BRIDGE. Earl OROSVENOR presented a petition from certain Arcbilects, complaining of the stigma cut on their pro fession in the employment of Civil Engineers in con structing the new London Bridge. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said this was a petition exactly similar to what he had himself presented on the pr e ceding day, and as a Mr. Ford had been appointed the Architect for building the new Bridge, he did not think this petition ought to be received. ' Earl GROSVENOR said he was not aware of its being the sArne petition. The Berl of LIVERPOOL hoped that such petitions as this would not come again before that House. °tithe third reading of the London Bridge Bill, I;Ord MELVILLE mowed' claose, the effect of which ' was, to oriie power to the Corporation of LOndon r 6 ap ' prove, conjointly with the Lords of the Treasury, of any id, and SYDNEY died on Me Sca f fold r ration which might be proposed in the plan of the .Bridge. • 'The Bill was then read a third time and - passed. On the motion of the Earl of ROStiLYN, the third reading ante Scotch Juries Bill was put off to Monday next. CRIMINAL LAWS. 'The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that an amendment bad been suggested from high authority in the Dill for granting the benefit of clergy in certain cases of larceny; and, therefore, he moved to put off the further proceed ing on the Bill till to•morrow.—Ordered. The Convicts' Labour and Capital Punishments Re- peal Bills were read a third time and passed. SCOTCH COURTS. On the Report of the Scotch Commissioners' Appeal Bill, The Earl of GROSVENOR proposed a claw for em powering the Commissioners to inquire into the office of told Justice Onweral in Scotland, with a view that the said - IM* be abolished. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said the Commissioners had already very heavy duties imposed on them; and it would not be proper to encumber them with this extra labour. Earl GROSVENOR then said hewould take an easly opportunity of ,proposiug an inquiry into the nature of such office. Lord MELVILLE said this office was as much known to the Law of Scotland as any other jurisdiction in that country. The motion was then negative l.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. Mr. WILIMRFORCE presented petitions from Per shore, a parish io the County of Fife, and other places, praying for the Abolition of Slavery.—Laid on the table. Mr. F. BUXTON moved for an account of all inedi eines supplied to the Navy by the Apothecaries' Com pany, for the bast use Tears; and also a similar account of all medicines supplied to the Army; and copies of the Correspondence between the Admiralty and the Apothe caries' Company on the subject. Mr. CROKER said he did not object to the motion, as it did not go to impute any blame to the Admiralty.— Motion agreed to. Mr. A. ROBERTSON presented a petition from the masters, mates, and seamen of the merchant-ships jn the port of London, against the Reciprocity of Duties Bill.— Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. T. WILSON presented a similar petition from the ship-owners of London. The petitioners alleged that the examination taken before the Committee was partial, anti that the effect of the measure must he only to diminish trade in British bottoms, but the trade of the country in general. Alter a few words from Mr. A. ROBERTSON, the CHAN. CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. M. A. TAYLOR, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Sir JAM E s MACINTOSH presented a petition from Mr. Clarke, late Surgeon of the Berkshire Militia, com. plaining that be had lost his superannuation in conse quence of his baying retired too soon, through ill health, and praying for some allowance, and also an alteration in the present system with respect to An Militia.—Laid on the table. JUDICATURE OF NEW SOUTH WALES. Sir J. MACINTOSH said be had another petition to Present from a respectable merchant, Mr. J. Eager, of Sydney, in New South Wales, upon a subject of great im portance. The petitioner deprecated several clauses of the Bill which had been introduced fur modifying the judicature of that Colony. It appeared that the effect of the Bill would be to do away the trial by Jury altogether, and establish a sort of Court Martial in its read. The pe titioner prayed to be beard by his counsel or agent at the har, against the Bill. If this was agreed to by Hon. Gentlemen on the ether side, he (Sir J. Macintosh) wripld forbear from going more in detail on the merits of the case at present. Mr. WILMOT HORTON said he should decidedly ob ject to the proposition. - - - Sir J. MACINTOSH observed, that as the Hon. Gen. tleman was so determined in his opposition, be must say more on the subject than be otherwise would have done. The House would perceive that New Swale Wales was no longer an obscure receptacle for criminals. It was, in fact, a most flourishing colony, having not less than 20,000 freemen, out of a popnlatien of 40,000 persons. It had, he would venture to assert, a great number of Europeans inhabiting it than any country on the whole Continent of, Asia. Now, therefore, that principles and maxims were to be established, which were perhaps to be perpetuated through ages, care ought to be taken that they should be as much as possible in accordance with the stirit of our free Constitution. He contended that it was incumbent on the authors of the Bill to prove that it was necessary and. expedient that a body of 13,000 subjects should be deprived of the benefit of the trial by Jury. Wa. it to be pretended in this age that such a number of freemen, living under the British Constitution, was uafit to be Jurors ? Why, for the last twenty years it was the opinion of the different Governors of the Colony of New South Wales, that among the people there were to be found so& &lent materials for the formation of Juries. That was the opinion of Governor Bligh, of Governor Macquarrie, and, though last, not least, of Mr. Commissioner Biggs. With such authorities as these on his side, he called on the promoters of the Bill to show why they felt justified in excluding the free inhabitants of that extensive colony from the trial by Jury. In the two districts of tbe colony of New South Wales there were no fewer than 3;000 free holders and landholders. Among these were 1,601/owners of fifty acres of land and upwards. Could it he main tained for an instant that there was in that colony a want of proper materials for a Jury of freemen, and tbakit was necessary to subject the inhabitants in civil and criminal cases to a specter; of jurisdiction resembling a Court- Martial or Star Chamber, rather than a civil tribunal, and composed of military and civil officers of the Government, who, it ought to be remembered, were limited in number, so that there would often be a likelihood of failure of justice ?—(Hear, hear, hear.) There was another clause in that Bill by whiea tire Governor of the Colony had the power on receiving affidavits, perhaps the_ false affidavits of parties, to take up the accused person, btirrying him on board a ship, and order him to be transported from the colony without inquiry or exa mination. If the House of Commons did not express their abhorrence and detestation of such a power as that to be banded over to the Governor of a distant colony, they no longer deserved to be called the Representatives of the free and enlightened people of England.—(Hear, hear.) But whist was the necessity to vest the doversor of the Colony of New South Wales with suck obsolete power? Would such despritic authority be ,tolerated hr any individnal at home ?.-Lertainly not. Then much lea should it be given to the Governor of a colony at a die wire from England. A Governor of a colony was apt to be guided by arbitrary principles, and if he were to choose any case in which despotic power and arbitrary principles were to be rooked on as roost dangerous, it was'that of a distant colony—(hear, bear) —like New South Wales, , The Guise fo r which HAMPDBIZ ftl is ge: This Day is published, price 7s. 6d. in boards, Sobll3 Account of the Public LIFE of the late Lieutenant 1 Sir GEOROE PREVOST, Bart.. particularly of his Services io the Canadas; includ ing a Reply to thp Strictures on his Military Charatter, contained In an Article In the Quarterly Review, for Octo ber,lB2B. - _ Printed for T. CADELL, Strand; and T. EGERTON, Whitehall. . 11,300 PRICE SEVEN PENCE. But it was most wanton and superfluous to give the ti` vernor a power to transport an accnsed pers At without trial, inasmuch as this very Bill had a provision in it, enabling the Governor to make laws for the trial of such persons. If this arbitrary power was to be given in any case, it was not to a Governor of a colony of emanci us. ttd convicts, because the finger of scorn was alw.t. pointed at them—(hear, hear)—because they were ,na:k ed out as inferior beine, and bad, in the eyes of all the.r neighbonrs, contracted a stain of infamy never to :)e faced. That clause would teach a Governor to make a dis• Unction between the other free inhabitants and the ernancipatetTconvicts: and to be oppressive on the let-r class. He objected to that clause as a bar to all atnervf ment in those persons. It would daily remind their neighbours as well as themselves of the crimes a ith which they had been stained. It would produce and per petuate distinctions and dissensions. The nearer the condition of those persona wai brought to the state of those who were still suffering the punishments of the law, the more dificolty dm* *in yamettd ment in their character. He objected, therefore, to that clause,astmnecessary and wanton—heeirjected to it giving arbitrary power, where power ought to be restricted, and, lastly, be objected to it as a bar to motility. It taught one part of the society to look down on the other with insolence and contempt. It taught one part of the colony to consider themselves a privileged and favoured class, and to believe the other a degraded and inferior east. It was calculated to engender tyranny in the one, while it inspired vengeance in the other. He distinguished those three clauses from the rest of the Bill, of which (with the exception of those clauses) he highly approved. tie hoped that before the Bill. was passed into a law. the petitioners would be beard by their Counsel at the bar of that House. The petition having been brought up, Mr. WILMOT HORTON said he was sorry that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman did not reserve his area -1 meats till Friday, when the Bill would be in a Comm•t , tee. The petitioner was not sent to this country for the purposes stated by him, he was deputed for the objects in the 13117, and having.secared these, he showed his gr titade by characterising the House in the manner he did l in his petition. He would not detain the house by Ru ing into arguments at that moment, bat would reset ve them till the Bill should be before the House. The cir cumstances of the population of New South Wales were different from those of the people of England, and fv'ly justified the clauses complained of. The Bill was parfi. colarly applicable to the state of society in that Colony. But there was in the Bill a clause which escaped the at tention of the Hon. and Learned Member, but which thorised the King at any time to supply the defects, by extending to the Colony the trial by Jury. The repors of the Commissioners on the judicial establishments is New South Wales, stated that the population there was unfit fur the exercise of the trial by Joey. The peti. 'loner, he contended, misrepresented the whole ease, an made complaints in the name of persons who did not commission him. The Bill was necessary to cam into effect the recommendation of the Commissioners. There' was no reason given to justify the hearing of Counsel on this Bill. Mr. BRIGHT said that the petition was most worthy of the serious attention of the House, as being one which complained of being deprived of the trial by Jury. The withholding of that noble institution from the peo ple of New South Wales, was the most effectual bar to their ever hemming free, or liberal, or high minder,. The question was. were we to have a Colony of freemen to assist us in time of emergency, or were veto estat•li ;h a despotism, to be joined with other despots against us; The House, he contended, were better judges of whit ought to be done for the Colony, than the Commission ers on the Judicial Establishments. He implored them not to suffer the Bill to pass, though late in the Session, without inquiring into the complaints of the petition and hearing Counsel. Mr. MARRYATT said it was important to see if the Bill was perfect in ■ll its parts. With respect to the trial by J nry, ■ good dealissight he said on both si les. He thought that all who had expiated their guilt by su..- letting the punishment allotted to them, ought to be received into the bosom of the British Constitution (Hear, hear) He was friendly to the prayer of tne petition. Mr. FORBES defended at some length the admini•- tratlon of Governor Macquarrie, and found fault with the statements of Mr. Commissioner Biggs. Mr, RIDLEY COLBORNE defended the conduct of . Mr. Biggs against the attack of the Hon. Member who spoke last. Mr. FORBES exulained, The petition was then read, and ordered to be printe4. Sir J. MACINTOSH said, in rising to move that the petitioner be heard by Counsel at the Bar, be would not enter into any disputed or irritating topics. He only put to the House this question, would they sanction a power to -the Governor of the colony to expel any one person out of 8,000 free inhabitants ou his sole will an•t pleasure without a trial ? He then moved that the p..ti• tioner be heard Icy his Counsel at the 'jar. Mt. W. HORTON said in the Committee he %co•nl give a full explanation of the clause of the Bill re. fermi to. Sfr.HIJME hoped the House would reflect before they confirmed an ez post facto law. Mr. MARRYATT said that he had every confidence in the Hon. Secretary for the Colonial Department, hut he thought that Honourable Gentleman ought to be the brat to agree to Counsel being heard. as his triumph would be the more complete if they feiled in making out a case against hitn.—A division then took place. For the motion to hear Connsel47 —Against it 60-114- jority against the motion 13. Mr. MA !WHIM presented a petition from Thoniat Hazard, Queen•street, Edgware.road, praying for e , rn pensation for an arrest on a false charge for High Trea son, on the 3tl March, I:1•M0, and stating the amount of his loss thereby to be &O. The SPEAKER remarked that the direct prayer rif the petition was contrary to the forms of the House, as it contained an application for money. The petition was then withdrawn. SHIP REQUIN AND MR. OGILBY. Mr. VOWEL BUXTON rose to more that the papers on the table relative to the capture of the American ship Requin, be referred to a Select Committee. He would briefly emskia to the House the circumstances of the case on which he demanded their attention. In consequence of the victories of the British Army in the Peninsula. in • ktil4, they became matters of Bordeaux. Lord lirref. ford had the command of the town. and under his (ward ship Brigadier General Lord Dalhousie was sewed .in command.
