OCRATES, by his discourse on marriage, ao 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" lies 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, hut disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previoui, however, to entering into this hallowed obliga tion, it becomes an hope-entree duty, not only to regulatethe Pussies*, 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 WA:ratable many of it., hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the tear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeininhw the body—a residence In the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently com 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 twepty years successful experience. The easy cares of married life, are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be mrcagthened, and deficient energy ice. provedinto functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, at 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 einpyric from the position so presumptu ously taken up, we slevlate from general principles with less hesitation; and con6!:eut in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the at:Merin. 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 must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any port of the world, however distant.

This wit* action of trespass, Intoned by a widow rodditaglnQuisen'swalk, against Mallow, the Constable, and Howell, the collector of poor rates of that parish, for breaking into her house and disturbing her in her possession.

At that hour no one called, hot at eight in the evening, a knock was hoard at the front door, and won after, Miss Prid die, in passing a window on the staircase, saw Malian' in the act of scaling the palings at the bottom of the gar den. She hastened to the back door, which was a little open, and b ,Iced it ; but immediately after lie broke open the door with considerable violence, and entered the hones.. She then laid on the table a sovereign and nearly 21.15. in silver, and begged him to take the rate and re tire; he did not take it then, but rushed by her and opened the front door when Howell and another person, named Cranbrooke, entered the house. She then paid If. I Is. 6d. ; but Ale. Cranbrooke of returned 6s. 6d. to her, saying that she hail given too nincli. They remained three qnarters of an hour in the house, and Hallam and Howell behaved with great rudeness and violence, bring in a state of intoxication : but Crain brooke conducted himself with civility and kindness.— A mob was collected at the door; but whether by the conduct of the defendants, or the attempt of the woman to obtain advice and assistance, did not dis ci octly appear. The Loan Untie Junice suggested a doubt whether obe action of trespass could be supported, as the local act under which the rate was levied, de i:rd that no action of tresspass should be sustained for any irregula rity is conducting a distress by virtue of a warrant, an d recommended that, in order to avoid this question, some accommodation should be effected. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, tor the defendant, offered to withdraw a juror; lint the Common sergeant for the plaintiff, rejected the offer, expressing his confidence that the forcible entry of the house was no irregularity, but an utterly unjustifiable trespass. The Sotdcrrou (lemma'. addressed the Jury, arguing th a t th e witn ess ", had evidently attempted to give a false colouring to fhe transaction, in which they were almost as much interested as the plaintiff. He did not ;tut in the warrant, and therefore the glettion ro speetiog the form of action anticipated by the Lord thief 4netice did not rive. . Tn . 1171n7174't0e 31, paid into CODfl. TIMM-WM AND OTIMS V. NAttlll AND OTHERS. This was en action against Ale3lft. Marsh and Co. bank ers, to recover the stem of 4061. alleged to be receive( by them to the um of the plaintiffs. The Souceroe-Gesensz stated the circumstances under which .the plaintiffs sought to recover. Some time before the corianstioweif his Majesty, many persons were desirous of obtaining from the Board of Works permission to erect temporary buildings for the accommodation of the specta tors. Among these were the plaintiffs, who proposed to take a frontage of 116 feet. at 31. 10s. a foot. Before this contract was completed, Messrs. Brindleys offered to take a larger piece of ground, includieg WS. and it was granted to them on condition that they would let the 1W feet to the plaintiffs at the same price which they were to pay to Go vernment. As it was doubtful whether the coronation would take place, and as it was understood that if it should not oc cur, Government would remit the rent to the contractors, it. was also agreed that a similar remission should he made in favour of the plaintiffs. Under these circiorstance., the sum of 4061. was paid by Messrs. Truscott and Co. Into the hands of Messrs. Marsh and Co. the defendants, to be paid in the one event to them, and In the other, to Messrs. Brind leys. The coronation did take place; but the speculation of Messrs. Brindleys and of the plaintiffs turned out so un fortunate, that each sustained considerable loss, independent of the rent which they were to pay. Messrs. Brindleys, therefore, with others, petitioned for a re:nissi in of the rest, and the Treasury, with a liberality which its officers were always disposed to show, remitted the whole rent. — Messrs. Truscott and Co. now contended that they were entitled to participate in the benefits of their remission; but Messrs. Brindleys asserted their right to receive the whole rent from them, although they paid nothing to Government; and the defendants, Messrs. Marsh and Co. had paid over the itldt. to them, on their indemnifying them against the claims of the plaintiffs. Upon this case, as it would be proved in evidence, there could be no doubt that, both in law and justice, the plaintiffs were entitled to recover. This case was proved by dicers from the Board of Works. Mr. F. POIAOCK, for the defendant, put in two letters, for the purpose of showing . that the rent was only to be remitted in case no coronation should he solemnized ; and contended that the plaintiffs were no inure entitled to share in the linnetit of the remission which Messrs. Brindlevs had obtained, than if the Treasury- had presented Messrs. Brindleys with a sum of the same amount. The bonne/Mr JUSTICE expressed his decided opi nion that the remiseiou of the Treasury was intended SO &plait. arid did apply, to all parties who had taken grotind.. tie would, however, give 1-ave to the counsel for the defendants to bring the case betore the Court on a motion for entering a notisnit. The Joey then, ander his Lordship's directions, found a verdict fur the pleintilfs-10amages 4U61. itimr 0. TZLIBUTT. This action was brought by Mr. Kent, a person who gives descriptions in. some of the public prints of pu gilistic operations, agaiwit Mr. Tebbutt. a captain in the India service fur assault and battery. • Mr. WENTWQRTH opened the pleadings.

Tie Jury then, under the direction of the Lord Chief Jivitice, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Ole Shilling. • Bow Sraerr.—lnfarentaloss was teceived at this of fice A few days'arro by Sir Richard Biroie, of a daring and atrocious outrage committed by poachers in the grones ail. R. Leathes, Esq. of Shropham Hall, Nor folk. On the night of the 29th ult. a party of sere* keepers, in the service of that gentleman, were on the look ant fur poachers, when they were met by nine of that desperate class of men armed with fowling pieces. and carrying a considerable quantity of game. They called upon the poachers to surrender or to quit the grounds, but without snaking any reply they commenced an attack upon the keepers. A severe conflict took place, which ended in the defeat of the keepers, four of which were left senseless on Ilse ground, and have con tinued ever since in a precarious state. The principal keeper, whose name is Skinner, still keeps Isis bed, and his, recovery is doubtful. The 4round where the conflict took place was covered with blood, broken gun stocks, and other marks of the desperate affray. Sir It. flume sent Bishop, one of the principal Offi cers, to Shropl►am Bell, and he succeeded in a?prehend ing five men on suspicion of being concerned in the out rage. Thair names were—Charles Wes•, John Utter, John Moore, John Sperling and James Bobby. Bobby after being a short time in custody, impeached his fellow prisoners, and they were fully committed to Norwich Castle for trial; he being committed alto to give evidence. QUICEN-SQUARE.—Yestertlay James Grice l one of the keepers of St. James's Park, brought an Interesting girl, about 13 years of age. before the Magistrates of t his office. having found her lying on the grass in the Green Park. almost expiring for want of food, and nearly insensible from long fasting. The poor creature was so weak, as to be linable to stand without assistance At ter she hail swallowed a little warm beery she was able to give the following account of herself:—Sbe stated that her name was Sarah gates; her father was a re spectable horsedealer, at Bath, who failed in business. and became insolvent about eighteen months ago, when he left the country with his wife (her nrother-in-law), and hail since died to (relent!. He left ley sa.klllll.-kils. care of an aunt, who turned her out of doors about tee montliA apt, when she came with another young wotnan up to London to procure situations. They fell into bad company, were inveigled to a house where they were ...dared, and she had since undergone the most painful vicissitude, ; she was tnrned out of her lodgings ali.lat tivo months ago, and had since then never been in a bed. She had wandered about the streets day and night, and •amctimes for days tozether had not had a morsel of food. She l.ad not tasted any since Tuesday mornitizs and had laid down in the park, hoping she might be released by death ft - wisher mimics. • • The Magistrates ordered the Prrk•keeper to have t!.e girl conveyed to the poor house of St. Margaret's, .1': to request the Overseers to render her that relief her situation so much required. A singular occurrense took place on the evening-of Friday, 3lst ult, in Fratuwellgate, in this city. Some time after dark, two women went down a back-yard, (probably to get water) when shortly the neighbours were alarmed by loud cries of "murder! murder!" "help! help!" accompanied by dreadful shrieks and doleful lamentations issuing from the yard. A great number of people ran immediately to the place, to learn the cause of a circumstance which was calculated to Ali the most courageous mind with terror, when they fount the two females standing up clove against a wall, and endeavouring to support themselves,from falling to tha ground by clinging round each other's neck, and nearly deprived of their senses by fear. When questioned as to the cause of their alarm, one of them declared that they hail seen an apparition of prodigious magnitude, resembling a cart-load of manure : the other said that the did not see any thing, but that she heard something lE:ea coach and six pass along the yard. Both of them agreed in s:ating, that it threw them to the ground and passed over them. Now, those who first arrived to their assistance. found them, not lying on the ground, but leaning against a call; but such was the tifect of fear on their immagination. that they could not be per sualed that they had never been olrthitir legs. A young man who lives with his mother in ti /rause adjoininktbet sante yard, *vas near the door with a candle in his hantl at the time, end he also said he saw sotnething rase along the yarl resembling a cart-load of manure ; d:::1 covered pith shaggy hair. So there .were twoarito had bath seen the same appearance, 'arid a third whew was almost frightened to death by the noise Ninth .ncide. ll rte, sty, the advocate for miraelei and superostntal appearances—bow can you get over this—this is a dear demonstration of the correctness of the opinions which have always rat. rained on the subject?
