SCRATES, by his discourse on marriage, so en• raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to he 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 obliga tion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulatethe passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those im purities, 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 tbeyeztite the commiseration of the beholder, should also I him with the fear of self-reproach. Imsarious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in , the tropics will relax the elastic flbre—bet more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently corn.' 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 successful experience. The easy cares of married life, are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—tor thejemale habit is often constitutionally weak—yet It can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved into fuivtional power. In every ease of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling enspyric from the position so presnutptti ously taken up, we deviate from general principles with _less hesitation ; audisonfident in our own houourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either sex (especially those entering into ma trimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance Is given for personal consultation , and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these mntt contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

The time°, making this was besides ill-chosen. The people. from various causes, had not been so con stant is their attendance at church as formerly, and by setting up this imposition at the present aria went many would be driven from the Church to the Conventicle, and he trusted that Parliament would not (at a time when the whole nation was complaining of distress) sasetion such a gross and unjust impo4ition.— He was on the Committee of the House of Commons when thee. claims were formerly advanced, and the Counsel, who opposed them, offered, as the clergy wort dissatisfied with their reanneration, to enquire in , o the state of the otuolothoels they then possessed. That howerer was streenonsly resisted, and formed the subject of orga sms' fir a whole week before the Committee.

The Worthy Alderman concluded by expressing his strong and de std opposition to the claim. Ater some farther discussion, a stringer( Resolutions were agreed to, after which Petitions to both houses of Parliament for redress ageing' the claim were also agreed to.—Thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor and the Cbaisome, end the Meeting separated. COURT OF CHANCERY, Fe.. 27• onuaLAT I. Mil Of SOINIRSET. Mr. It eaTTN —in this case, the solicitors of the Hake of Some,aet had gives notice by letter to the gentleman who bad hitherto acted in that capaoity for the plaintiff, Mr. Gourley, informing them that his Grace was desirous of bringing the oftener before the Court as anon as vosible. The Learned Counsel was sorry, however, to add, that in consequence of the erectile distress of that gentle. man, his being obliged to stork on the public roads as a common labourer in a distant part of the country (Wilt shire, be believed), he was now nithout professional aid, and consequently not likely to appeats before his Lord ship. He therefore suggested (as we understood) that the case might be struck nut. Mr. HA RT—Rvery body had heard of the deplorable situation in which ilr.Gourlay was now placed, and no body cool ! help feelingsompassion for him, considering the highly respectable station which he bad previously occupied in society. As for himself, he had experienced the deepest sympathy far that gentleman's reverses, but those feelings had been qui., relieved by the perusal of a. letter which Mr. Gourley had published in one of the provincial papers, in %shill he said that his present employment (ofbreaking stones on the road, he had read) seas by no me .us necessary to his autesivance ; but, that it was jest to *hew the labourers how it was within the power of all persons to make themselves independent; and in rept/ to the offer to raise subscription iu his he feelietrl diat irmnossel, sayireg, that be La other more liberal and pa•riotic views. Mr. Hart thought notice of this motion should be sent to Mr. Nichol% his attorney in the country, before the court decided. The Loan CHANCELLOR—You must certainly give moratinse. Counsel were instructed to say that Mew Gourley's for mer solicitors had declined acting env longer as such, and that therefore there would be a difficulty as to run vryiog the necessary information. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ftn. 27. TIM KING CLARK. This was an indictment against the defendant, at the instance of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, for publishing an alleged blasphemous libel. He was in dicted by the name of George Clark, alias John Jones. The defendant pleaded in abatement, that he was never called or known by the name of Gearge Clark, but that he had been always called and known by the name of John Jones. To this plea there was a demurrer for in sufficiency. Mr. Ili MARMOT, ifs support of the demurrer, was now stopped in argument, and Mr. PRENURRORASS was called upon to support the plea, and he contended that the indictment was clearly bad, for describing the defendant by two names in the manner set forth, but The COURT were clearly of opinion, that this being a plea in abatement, it was entitled to no favour. It was clearly had for not giving a better name, or stating with certainty what was the defendant's real name ; and there fore the plea was informal and insufficient.—Judgment of respondent ouster.

A Meeting was held yesterday at the Egyptian Hall, for the purpose of considering the claim made by the Clergy of those City Parishes not within the operation of the Act of the 17tb Henry VIII., by which a sum of 21.9 d. in the pound on the net rental is imposed in lien of all other tithes, oblatioos,&c. &c. An excuse was acre.; on the part of the Lord Mayor for not presiding at the Meeting. The reason alleged was, that he might be called on to determine this ques tion in his legislative capacity. Mr. Alderman Wood and Mr. Wikm, two of the City Members, also stated this as one of the causes why they were unable to attend the discussion of the claim at the present moment. Sir W. Rawlins was then called to the Chair. Mr. SAMUEL DIXON moved the Resolutions. In taking on himself this responsibility, he had acted on the firm conviction that every thins was to be done in a conciliatory manner. He ronsidered that as Clergymen were men of abilities and liberal educaion, and as their interest in their livings was only for life, the recompense they received for their labours should be liberally be stowed (hear, hear:). In addition to this, it should be remembered that they were often the fathers of familia., for whirls they felt as mach affection as other men, and that their stipends were the only means by whirls those families could be supported, as they were precluded by the nature of their sacred profession from following an other profitable employment.--Mr. Dixon then moved the Resolutions. . . A HENTLEMAN, who described himself ea an inha bitant of a.iiarish, of which the Minor Canons of St. Paul's were the iinpropriaiors, a ated that the tithes in that parish had lately been raised trom 2,jd. to 2s. 91. in the pound, and that the parish had unsuccessfully resist ed the imposition. No p-rson who had observed the manner in which tithes were expended, would be unwil ling to forward the views of the sleeting, for it would be found that the agnestrations were not less numerous in those parishes where the tithes were larze than in those where they were small. 1 n many eases, the tithes went to laymen who performed no duty whatever. Mr. Alderman WAITn3raN expres-ed his regret that this subject, so iotere4ing to all, had not been brought before the meeting by gentlemen who hid never before appeared ti chim their attention. He was cippofeil to the claim of an increased allowance. He wondeie.l meal that the claim, after baling beeu once disallowed, should be again brought forward, and...specially at such a time as the present. He mentioned the instance of Mr. Keyes. ton, a lay impropristor, who had obtaineo a revenue of 400tH. per unman, by the exaction of 2s 9d, in the' pound; and who had &pie so on the ground of the net-easily that the maintenance of the clergy sboald respectable, when it was clear that the increased allows ante went to those wbo performed no duty whatever. — He wished, as did every person, that the clergy should be properly and fairly remunerated ; and he admired the resolu.ions fur their moderation, but he tau Toned the Citizens of Leadon against the error of permitting their feelings of moderation to destroy their firmness le the attempt to gain an object so dew II hilt those who wets reapteg befietit at Ibi s es rd. tit OLD BAILEY.

CAMBRIDGE COUNTY PETITION. Lord F. OSBORNE presented a petition from the Free-holders of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely, complaining of agricultural distress, &e., and pray ing for relief—by a reform of the House of Commons, by a repeal of taxes, by the abolition of sinecures, by the reduction of pensions and salaries. and a reduction of the interest of the National Debt, by the sale of the Crown Lands and tithes in lay hands.—Ordered to be printed. Lord F. OSBORNE presented a similar petition from Owners of Land in ,a certain district of the County of Cambridge.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. M ANNING moved that there Im laid on the table an Account of the Balancesof Public Mooey in the Hands of the Tru.tses and Commissioners of 14magate Har bour on the 24th of June in each year of 1820. 1821, and 1822.

A Petition was presented from the Reverend Mr. Watson against the Marriage Act.—Ordered to Le printed. A Petition wit; presented from the lobabitauts d Ripon subset We Timelveat Debtors' Aae,;....logie i s 0 4 table. Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS presented a petition frets • the freeboldess and occupiers of Land in Berltshire. complaining of Agricultural Distress and praying for Reform. Mr. NRVILLE said a few words in support. as we understood, of the petition. Mr. F. PALMER supported the petition, and said it was the intention of the several parishes in the county to meet and present district petitions, shoo ing to the house the extent of the distress which prevailed among them. Mr. MONCK concurred in the statements containeJ in the petition, and contended that the petitioners were right in attributing their present distresses to the wasteful expenditure of the Government during the last reign. He thought a Reform of that house necessary. it was dependent where it ought to be independent, and lode. pendent where it ought to be respectful. It was dependent on the Minister, and independent of the people. Those were the sentiments of the county, and he cordially joined in them. The Petition was then read and ordered to be printed: Mr. PRICE presented a petition signed by upwards of 150 owners and occupiers of land in a district of the county of Hereford, complaining of Agricultural Dis tress, and praying for relief. He was well acquainted with many of those persons whose names were subscribed to the petition, and he knew them to be respectable per sons. He could not concur in all the allegations of the petition. He hoped, however, that the house would show , a disposition to alleviate the distresses of the people by general retrenchment, and by a reduction of the expenses of the public establiebinents. Ott the petition being brought up, Lord FOLKSTON l said a few words its support of it. One great claim that it had upon the notice or the house was, that the signa tures of 700 persons were deliberately attached to it.— lie had heard a great deal of abuse against that and simi lar petitions, as that at Norfolk was, but he had heard very little argument. For his part, he considered that the allegations of the petitioners were not inconsistent with good faith and public justice ; hut that both good faith and public justice required„something to be done-- He had only further to observe, that it was his intention to enlarge a notice of his then before the house, to a p: (s -position of submitting all these petitions to a Committee for an equi•ahle adjustment of propertv. The petition was then ordered to be printed. Mr. DALY presented a petition f ruin the county of Galway, complaining of Agricultural Distreas amid pray ing for an alteration in the Distillery Laws. HOP DUTIES. Mr. CURTEIS presented a petition from a parish in Sussex, praying a reduction of the Duties on Hops. He took at the same time, the opportunity of inquiring from the Hon. Chancellor of the Ex.:beeper, if he meant to propose any inquiry into the situation of the Hop plant ers, or had any intention of lust ering the Duties. • The CHAN OELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that be had no objection to give the Hon. Gentleman an answer. He melees:oA him to inquire if there was any intention on the part of tioyerntment to propose either as actual reduction of duty or a Committee out the subject. Ile tt as no' inclined to reel:tam• nd either, as no sufficient reasons existed, in his opinion, for the reduction of duty or the appointment of a Committee. The hon. Member might, tt he pleased, solocit a motion to the house. It could not he denied that there was a Certain proportion ut distress fa'l rig upon the growers of hops, bat not arie i^g from e muses which a Committee c0..13 remove, or which claimed the interference of the house. He was aware that a large extent of fresh land was pnt under the cud i ration of bops, at such great expense, that it became quite unequal to a fair re urn, withoot a considerable ad vance in prise. The culture of hops depended so nautili on climate and sea-on, that there was in different yeats the greatest satiety in their praidoction.
