Donuts et pitmen* sow. Thy house, and (in the cup of life ' That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. SOCRATES, by his discourse on marriage, so en -1...11 raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men firm to their wires, 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 obliga tion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulatethe passions, hut 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 they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also Impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the bode•—a residence 10 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 that doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we editress oerseires, offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity; uor will our ads ances appear questionehle, sane'loned 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 hlessiuea which concentrnte the nuptial wreath—fur the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved Into functional power.

BRIGHTON, JULY G.—A most extraordinary case has twice been inveatioted by the Bench of Magis trates as the Old Ship. This day se'nnigiir, Mrs. Mary Eleanor Herei , furd, the wife of a shoemaker, was brought up for examination. She bad been given into rueody on the Saturday. charged with having picked the pocket of Henry Hedger, a journe, man cooper, of five shillings and sixpenee, and detained in the town prison. Hedger had forfeited his promise and did not appear at the examination. The latter I circumstance gave the prisoner an opportunity of turning the tables npos him, and she did so most com pletely. She made it appear, that Hedger had at. tempted to rob her of her shawl, her money, and the gold ring on her finger, but which her tries bad pre vented. end brought a erowd of people about them, in St. James's -street, between elevee and twelve o'clock on Saturday night, when her assailant had re course to the expedient which had placed her in con finement. The affair. as she described it, bore a most atrocious character, and a warrant was issued against Hedger. On Thursday, both parties appeared at the Bench; the late poisoner, now to the proem:iris. told her story, with but little variation, as before, which elicited smile from the defendant, • well looking young man of about five and twenty years of age, such at seemed to owe their origin to conscious innocence of the charge against him ! When taken, be bad as signed as a reason for his not attending on the Mon day, a desire be had felt, not to pursue the matter fin her. concluding, owing to his absence that the pri soner would be liberated. He saw his error, lie said. and was sorry he had not been better advised. The Bench told him, if the charge should be substantiated it would affect his life. This he heard unmoved, because the deposition of the proem:iris, he said, was a tissue of falsehood from beginning to end. Ile then stated his meeting with the prosecutrix on the Steyne on the Saturday night, where he had accosted her as one of the frail sisterhood, and had been denied nothing that he bad solicited. Finding in the end that she had picked his pocket, he had given bet-intd custody because she had refused to return the money. To the night constable she had said nothing of having been robbed berrelf, hail refused to tell her name to him, and had used language offerisive and opprobie uus. The proseeatrix vehemently persisted in all she had advanced, nor could the cross qm triune of the Bench detect heels any essential error. The de :rodent, at length said, if time were allowed, that fie could bring forward a witness to prove, that lie and the proseentrix bad been seen walking arm in arm. with apparent sociability together, a circumstance which in itself, if established. that would itiwww&te the whole of her testimony. The Bench complied with the request, and postponed the final hearing of the ease till this day, Monday, liberating- defendant upon his own recognisance of 1001. with two sureties in NI. each, and compelling the husband of the pro secutris to enter into a recognisance of 1001. for the re-appearance of his wife. The known food charac ter of the defendant occasioned the sureties required fur him, almost as soon as asked for to present them selves. The result of the examination this day, we shall impartially make know next week. LIMISLATIVE BLUNDINS —le the new Marriage Act which has undergone each lengthened and tritium dischuloos in both Houses, there is the following passage—" And in such cue both parties shall also make oath that the person or persons whose consent shall be required by law to the marriage of such par ties has been given ;" 1. c. that the person or persons has been given! The framer, of course, means the consent of such person or persists, but he gets it enacted that " that the person or persons" shall be given ! But there is soothe:, enactment truly mar vellous ; "And be it further enacted," says the amended Bill, That such banns shall not be published until the true christian and snrames of the said persons, and. , the house or houses of their respective abodes, shall be aßxed on the principles door of the church or chapel and in some eonspicnons place within the said church or chapel !" Parliament is omnipotent, truly, bet bow a bonne conk! be stock on a church door is a pro blem that remains to be solved. The difficulty, we apprehend, is increased, when two houses are to be stuck on the said door I But we most say, with rever ence, that their Lordship. intend to carry their omni potence to the highest pitch, when they enact that the same house or houses most be stuck on the chords door, and also placed in some conspicuous place within the said church !
