HAPPINESS, "the gay to-morrow of the mind," is insured by marriage. Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but snore especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise 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 Impe—energy—muscular strength—felicity. 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 con stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy ins. proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident in our own honourable inte grity as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering COM munity of either sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consulta tion ; and letters from the country arc immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, doicrihing minutely the c_aso , e,...wchuich can be for war d e d t o any part o f t h e wor ld, h owever di s tant.

Several individuals in the town were brought to the ground with the fright occasioned by the shock, and one woman was slightly injured by the electric fluid, pro luced by their sudden appearance were enabled to ope❑ the gater, to the remaind;r of their companions on the out side. An immediate rush to the Alcazßr took plane, the gates of which being opened to admit the inhabitants, be came so crowded that the garrison, consisting of GOO men, and determined to have held out against the enemy but for this accident, were unable to restore order, and at eleven o'clock at night of the above date had to capitulate on the condition of their lives being respected. The capture of a place so near this city, and so suscep tible of defence, hP,s excited universal surprise and indigna tion in Madrid. The town is not more than eighteen or twenty leagues hence, contains upwards of thirteen thou sand inhabitants, and its castle, or, as it is usually called, the Alcazar, was deemed impregnable. It has been very generally suspected, and even stated, that the place fell by treason ; but there are no grounds for be- lieving this to be really the case. The cause which I have assigned is that to which the surrender of the place is really attributable. The town has suffered severely by the attack ; for six hours, I understand, it was given up to indiscriminate pillage, murder, and brutality, of every de scription. Much of the property of the neighbouring towns and country deposited there on the approach of the Carlists for security has been taken. Two pieces of artillery have also been carried off, together with the students belonging to the military college of the town. This morning a supplement to the Gazette contains a Royal Decree, declaring the district of the Captain-Gene ralship of New Castile in a state of war, and subject to martial law. The Decree, however, provides against the suspension of the ordinary tribunals and authorities, and in dicates the species of offences which are to come under mi- litary cognizance. Those alone which may be compre hended in the word " treason" are to be disposed of by the Council or Military Tribunal appointed for their punish ment. Letters from the northern frontier inform us of a third expedition being organised to proceed on the Asturias end Galicia. Brigadier O'Donnell, with five battalions under his command, is named as destined to pursue this new ex pedition. Colonel Wylde, I understand, has arrived this morning at the British embassy. To-day the state of the war is 'to be considered in the Cortes. BAYONNE, AUG. l2.—The occupation by the Castile ex pedition under Zaraitegui of Segovia and San Ildefonso, confirmed by the arrivals of to-day, has deepened in no slight degree the gloom of the Liberal party. This it does, not on account of the actual loss of the places, but from the now rapidly-increasing impression that from the Queen's generals there is nothing to be expected—nothing to be looked for. In all directions it is the same. They coolly look on while the enemy of their country is working his way to victory, and then as coolly sit down to announce to their Government each progressive step, as if they were placed at the head of their thousands of soldiers solely to record the history of the Pretender's successes. Really there must be something more in all this than meets the eye ; but who can give it a name ? My own impression is that the Queen's Generals, one and all, are seeking the triumph of their Estatutist opinions in the downfall of the Constitutional Government, hoping that then, having the army in their hands, they will be able to compete with both parties. But, seriously, will not the Government open their eyes to the impending crisis? Arc they also Estatutists ?—and are they, through their tools, seeking the downfal of that Constitution which the voice of the nation has demanded, and which they have sworn to protect ? If they arc not, why should they allow one hour men whose integrity is past hoping of, to hold in their hands the destiny of their country ? Why cal to the highest military post a man whose opinions they well know are unfavourable to the existing Constitution, and whose abilities are proved to be totally unequal to the duties of a divisional Commander ? Is not the effect of this appoint ment already manifested in the inactivity of the subordinate Generals and the inefficiency of their military arrange ments ? Look where we will on the Queen's side, we see both these qualitieA working their detrimental effects upon the opinions and actions of the people. Finding they have not protection where they were led to ex pect it, what more natural than that they should give in to the Pretender's party ? That they are doing so I know to be the fact, and but in a complete revolution of exist ing policy do I see the least hope of the Pretender's down fal. Don Carlos in his own person or by his arms has done little, nay, nothing, to uphold his cause, since he left the Basque provinces ; but it is imp oss ibl e to c l ose eyes upon the fact that his cause has nevertheless materially advanced through the questionable conduct of those who ought to have effected his dowufal. Let the Queen's Government look to it. At St. Sebastian all remains in static quo. There are no less than 11,000 men on this line. Why, in Heaven's name, do they nothing ? Jllanaua again, I suppose. 1)on Carlos is said this afternoon to have positively en tered the province of Soria, but this is not sufficiently known as yet. TIDE MARKETS.

Mr. Barrington's conduct is much commented upon. He is not land-agent to the Kingston estates ; but merely a receiver of the rents by the appointment of the Court of Chancery, and has no right, whatever, to interfere in. the way described with the electors' franchise." lu Sligo, on Monday, the numbers stood thus :—Cooper, 133 ; Jones, 119 ; Perceval, 116. A Contemporary calculates that the Tory gains amount to 4, whilst the actual and probable gains of the Reformers are 15. Thus giving a difference of eleven in favour of Reform. With respect to the totals, the same journal adds—" There are already returned 66 Reformers and 29 Tories—givin g credit to the latter for Sir Robert Ferguson, of Derr: ; Sir Charles Coote, of Queen's ; Colonel Lucas, of Monaghan ; and Mr. Blennerhassett, of Kerry. If we take, as the event we are satisfied will prove that we should he right in taking, these four gentlemen as friends to the Queen':-: Government, our list would then show 70 Re formersand 25 Tories. But, for the present, we shall let the figures stand. " To the 66 we shall have to add in our next—two fur Tipperary, two for Westmeath, two for Longford—mak ing 72, we might add, we think, two for Cork, and one for Sligo—total 7..

The Pilot, in an article on the result of the contest, re fers to the assertion some time ago made by Mr. O'Connell, namely, that the majority of the English nation were either " hostile or indifferent to justice for Ireland'„ and declares that " Events have justified the opinion Mr. O'Connell entertained of England as a nation towards I eland, although there were admitted to be most honour able exceptions." Our Contemporary, however, candidly admits that " The resulkpf the elections in England arc not solely attributable to this national indifference to, or ignorance of, Ireland ;" and then states the disadvantages with which the English have had to contend. The Pilot, however, still insists that with all these disadvantageous causes operating, England has not done what she ought ; and it is clear that had the Tories got power at the time the Court was with them. they would have had a preponderance in Parliarnerd which would have involved a desperate and protracted struggle to place the people in the position in tended by the Reform Bill." After censuring the imprac- Livabili ty o f those persons who would not consent to receive an instalment of justice, but insisted on having nothing less than the whole, our Irish Contempo rary concludes his remarks in the following terms : " Providentially we now see our danger without its being overwhelming. The struggle has taken place when a Re form Ministry are in power—when the Court supports the Ministry, and when, if true to ourselves, we may prevent the recurrence of a danger we have barely escaped. Peel said in a late speech—" Register, register, register," we say agitate, that you may register. Had the cunning advice of Peel been taken early for his party not to create alarm, but work quietly at the registries, the Tories would be in possession of the citadel of the Constitution now —not to be dislodged but by a revolution. But, fortu nately, the pupils were not. as wily as the masters. The Tories—the Irish section particularly—could not be con trolled—they made their struggles too soon and too feroci ously, and they alarmed the people just in time to work, and barely to save the country. It is clear that if England were left to herself, and had not the protection of Scot land and Ireland, she would be an enslaved nation. Never was the pride of Englishmen so humiliated as by their prostration at the last election. The character of the nation for independence is gone. " Ilow can you carry on the Government, say the Tories, with only 35 majority t We answer how do you hope to carry it on with a minority of 35 7 It would take an ad vance of 70 votes to place the Tories in :the position the Reformers are now, and if this majority be called inade quate, it would, to make it efficient on their own showing, require an advance of 100 Tory votes. " The Government is admittedly weak in the Houre, and the majority depends on the Irish Members. Ireland is therefore again the arbiter of British Ministers. How will this work ? Either the two parties will agree to put Ire land on a footing with England, which will break up our combination, or else they must combine, in order to conti nue our degradation. Should the latter occur, our expe riment of justice is at an end. Again the battle-cry will he— ' Repeal the Union.'" Mr. GUINNESS.—This gentleman has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Pilot, who justly observes that " all the moral influence the Tories exulted in from Mr. Guin ness's vote is destroyed by his letter, and delighted are we at being instrumental, indirectly, to have elicited a letter which strips the faction of the only sanction of character they could appeal to." The following passage forms the substance of the communication I intended to have expressed my regret at perceiving certain symptoms of party triumph which were manifested by some of the active supporters of the candidates for whom I had voted, and to t h a.ds a c v nl e ti dfyel conceive,ared myself that wi t h i n a giving pa rty that u t vote a that my m h ayd sole n o motive intention w to s to register my dissent from a cour s e o f measures i nvo l v i ng , a tendency to endanger th e safety of those institutions whose abuses alone could justly be complained of, and should form the object of genuine reform. I would have declared myself unconnected with any political society ; that I disapproved as much as ever of the Orange system, recollecting the evils connected with it, and that my sincere desire was to see honest men on both sides uniting for the maintenance of the Constitution while promoting a sound and wholesome reform of its remaining abuses—espe cially those c onnecte d w i th the Corporation system. I think it now r i g h t to a d d that I took no part i n the late elections, save that of giving my vote, and that up to the present moment I have never i n any w a y, p e cuniary or otherwise, interfered in th e ma tt er , nor d o I mea n s o to do." The phrases we have put in Italics seem to us very like those recently used by Sir Francis Burdett, between whom and Mr. G uinne ss , h owever , we are w illi ng to b e li eve th e r e is no political identity whatever. The diamond is pure carbon, or Charcoal crystallised. It is among the rarest of all known substances, and carbon is among the most abundant. We can have a room full of pure carbon for sixpence, hut a bit of pure crystallised car bon the size of half your thumb is worth many thousand pounds. You drink diamonds when you drink soda water ; but you drink them in the form of gas. Mr. Faraday has succeeded by immense pressure in reducing carbon from the gaseous to the liquid state ; but it must be kept in a glass tube, hermetically sealed. The moment it comes in contact with the atmosphere it again assumes the gaseous form. Diamond requires great heat to burn it ; but when it does burn, it consumes utterly. Its whole substance changes into that kind of gas which is pumped into soda water, and is produced naturally in champagne. The practice of paving the centre of macadamised roads is not found to answer, and that. part of the Great Western Road between Knightsbridge and Kensington which had been so' treated, is now about to be restored to ..)' its all-alike state.

The course was from Co - wes Roads to the Westward, round a Station Vessel off Yarmouth ; thence to the Eastward, r,und the Nab Light Vessel, and back to Cowes—distance 41 miles. They started from Cowes Road at II o'clock. The wind throughout the day was light at first, and afterivards calm ; so that they drifted considerably outside the Nab Light Vessel, with the tide. About ten, p.m., a light breeze sprung up from S, S. W., and they did not arrive at Cowes till after midnight. Harriet, 12h. Bm. 10s. Dolphin, --10 m. 4os. Menai, 14 n. 28s.

We think this match would have afforded more satisfaction had the Yachts all started at the same time, and the allowance for their different tonnage been made at their coming in—the rate of sailing of the different sized vessels would have been better seen—the tide and wind being the same for all at starting. The ball on Monday evening was attended by all the nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood—the night for the second ball is not yet fixed. _ _ On Monday next the match will come off for his Majesty's Cup, value 1001. for Yachts of from 40 to 45 tons.

The inimitable Reeve has not yet recovered from his late relapse, which was occasioned by his taking a drive in his chaise, the exertion consequent on which occasioned a violent internal haemorrhage. Sir George Hoste has been appointed to the com mand of the, engineers in the western district ; head-quar ters, Devonport. Sir George Gipps, the new Captain-General of New South Wales, is not expected to take his departure for that colony until the first week in October. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the Directors of tFe Star Steam-packet Company took place at Gravesend, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances attending the destruction of the Medway steamer, o the afternoon of Wednesday last, while on its passage to , Gravesend from London. Captain Robert Smith, of the Medway, said, I left London at half-past one o'clock yesterday, with . about 100 passengers. When just past Greenhithe,, M . Hill, a passenger, came to me and drew my attention to the smoke issuing from the lower part of the funnel, and asked me what it was ; I immediately went to see wllsat it was, and saw the smoke, and went to the engine-roonr and saw the engineer on the ladder ; I asked him what it was, and he said he was afraid the deck was on fire over the boilers ; by this time the passengers got into confu sion, and were running out of the cabin ; I immediately ascended the paddle-box and ordered the chief mate to go to the wheel, giving him orders to run the vessel ashore at the first place that would insure the safety of the passengers. I then ordered the luggage to be re moved away from the steam-chest, and directed the cre►t to get their buckets and to throw water down where the fire was supposed to be. I then requested the passengers to go forward, and if they would, I would land them safely on shore. All this time the vessel was going down at full speed, and with the tide. Many of the passengers made requests to me ; some wished me to go alongside of a brig . at Northfleet Hope ; others, to go head first ashore to lee ward there ; some encouraged me to go on to Gravesend, and others to go for the Hard, near to Mr. Pitcher's, at Northfleet, where, by keeping her head to the wind, the flames and smoke would be kept away from the passengers, who were forward. Had I gone ashore at Northfleet Hope, or any other place than the one I did, great loss of life might have happened, for I should have had to encounter two serious difficulties (a stormy wind blew from the east)—the first, of running the vessel into a mud bank, where, without any assistance from the shore, it is probable many passengers would have been lost by falling into the mud, which is there four or five feet deep ; the other, of bringing upon the passengers the smoke and flame from-the aft part of the vessel, because she must have been put on shore head on, or the entire passengers must have been sacrificed. I therefore deter termined on putting the vessel ashore between the Red Lion and Mr. Pitcher's yard at Northfleet, where the difficulties before described would be avoided, and, indeed, was the first place that I could make with regard to the lives of the pas sengers. I had previously inquired of the engineer whether he could ease the engines ? He told me it was not pos sible, and indeed the smoke at this time surrounded the engine -room. I ran her ashore head to wind, and received immediate assistance from the people on shore by means of ladders, and safely landed all the passengers who were for ward. I take the liberty of saying that the exertions of the officers and crew, as well as the engineer and his men, were beyond all praise, but in particular I submit to the Direc tors the conduct of Hollingham, the chief mate, who kept his station at the wheel, surrounded by flame and smoke, until the vessel was safely ashore, and then was obliged to leap overboard to save his life. Such was the intensity of the smoke and flame that I could not see him, although I could hear him ; I could not tell whether any other person was at the aft part of the vessel ; my first anxiety was the safety of the passengers, and my conduct was all along ac tuated by the desire to do the best for their preservation. • I did not quit the vessel for a long time after she was ashore. Thomas Hollingham, chief mate to the Medway, said— On my voyage to Gravesend, when at Half-way Reach, being on the paddle-box, I saw a little smoke ascending from the engine -room, and I asked the engineer, who was standing in the hatchway, if there was anything amiss that caused the smoke ; he immediately went down to the en gine-room to ascertain ; he came back to me and said he • could not perceive anything that caused the smoke, and de scended again into the engine -room. The smoke not in creasing, I did not notice the circumstance until we got past Greenhithe, when I saw it coming up the hatchway and round the funnel. On entering Northfleet Hope I several times i‘egged of what few passengers were aft to go forward, because I was certain they would he much safer forward than where they were, but none of them paid any attention to what I said. Coming towards Northfleet-creek I then pereeived rite flames issuing from the ports in the saloon. Several persous then began to get into the boat, which was hanging astern. ,I begged of them to come out, but they would not. • Still they insisted on keeping in the boat, and, as they would not leave, according to my wish, I told them to hold fast.. There was no other person aft at this time except the stewardess and a young woman passenger. I toted them to stand fast ; but directly the vessel struck, the stewardess, from the shock, fell over the stern into the water, and I think the young woman jumped overboard at the same time ; and, at the same time, one end of the boat fell, but from what cause I cannot tell. I thereupon low ered the other end of the boat, expecting to right her, but in consequence of the passengers in the skiff being all a ft, she filled with water ;. there being now no other person aft bat myself, a nd the flames issuing all around me, I jumped overboard for the purpose of saving my life and trying to save those in the water ; at this time I took hold of one of the females wbo had let go her hold from the boat ; then, seeing a boat coming to my assistance, I got into it, and as sisted in picking up two women, a child, and one gentle man,•and landed them just above Mr. Gladdish's wharf. I then proceeded to the vessel to assist in extinguishing the flames. In my judgment ; :lie Captain did the best thing possible for the safety of his passengers. Th e passengers who unfortunately remained aft were Miss Emma Sale, of Miller -street, Camden-town ; a maid servant belonging to the family of Mr. Curdingley, and his child, of No. 8, Paternoster-row ; the stewardess of the vessel, Mrs. Cleaves ; another female, whose name is un known ; and a German. gentleman of the name of Mori, a partner in one of the principal wool warehouse in the city ; happily all these persons are saved, except Mr. Mori, whom no persuasion could induce to go to the fore part of the vessel. Mr. Mori was picked up floating some distance from the vessel, and apparently dead, and although the means recommended by the Humane Society were re sorted to for four hours, their attempts were unsuccessful. Mr. Mori was conveyed to the Hit or Miss public-house. where the body now awaits a Coroner's inquest. The other passengers who were taken from the water were conveyed to the neighbouring houses, where they bad prompt medical assistance, and were visited by the Directors and officers of the Star Company, who rendered every assistance in their power fur the promotion of the comfort and convenience of the unforttwate sufferers. There was one person still mis:ine . when our reporter left Gravesend last evening. Nots.tes were distributed over the town, with a reward offered by the Steam Packet Company, for her discovery e the bills desc:ibe the person to be about the age of 25, and her name Ei.zabeth Da vis, who, it is supposed, had fallen overboard during the confusion. _ The vessel, we understand, is insured in the Norwirh Fire-office for 4,000/. The steward of the Medway, Hamil ton, will he a great sufferer, his goods, plate, &c., being lost. Mr. Carttar, the Coroner, will hold an inquest o❑ the body of Mr. Mori this afternoon, at two o'clock. The afterpart of the Medway has been destroyed to the water's edge, but the machinery, engines, and fore part of the vessel have sustained very trifling damage. The loss is estimated at about 2,000/. The occurrence created so much alarm at Gravesend on Wednesday night, that a great many persons who intended to have gone up the river, on their return to London, in different steamers, either re- niained in the town all night, or returned to the metropolis in the coaches. The cause of the fire appears to have been the too near approach of, the timbers to the boilers, and the fire had probably communicated to the beams for a considerable time before any one on deck was aware of it, and when the flames once broke forth all hopes of extinguishing them were out of the question. It is stated in one account, that after the Captain had exhorted the passengers to be calm, and assured them that if they maintained their self-posses sion all would be placed safely ashore in a very short time, the most prompt measures were taken for this purpose, and the passengers manifested under the circumstances compa ratively little alarm, until the nursery-maid of a family on board, who had a child in her arms, gave a terrific shriek and leaped into the water. This act had a talismanic effect on all the ladies on board, who then began to scream dread fully, and many of the gentlemen also becoming panic struck, a scene of the greatest confusion e nsue d, many pas sengers of both sexesjumping overboard. As this circum stance is not noticed either by the captain or the mate of the Medway, the story is perhaps incorrect. Two steam-carriages have just been landed at Leith from London, aud arc to be forwarded to Glasgow, be tween which place and Paisley they are intended to run for the accommodation of passengers. They are built upon the most approved principles, and of substantial materials. The one is of 16 and the other of ten-horse power. The most important feature that they present, end differing from any that we have previously inspected, is the construction of their boilers. These are composed of circular tubes, and are coiled together in a very small compass. By this im proved mode all hazard from explosion is removed. The pistons, in place of workinr , in an upright direction, are placed horizontally, which, besides the convenience, makes the power come at once upon the wheels, and will add not . - a little to the speed of the vehicle.—Caledonian ~.....ercusy.
