It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys its power on the system. This important part of the Work should be read by every Yoang Man entering into life.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how marls, could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the Nature and consenuence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject.

Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES to be such proper vegetable purgative. - 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. A x x 1 A E. ill One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculateii hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice dernaed that health should form an item In the compact ; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er Reelect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

IRELAND. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. MITCHEL. for ll a U r ß g L u l m N, en D t l , oN m n ,a s s v, ca M ll A e v d 8 0 . —This fixed for Lordships. The Attorney-General and Messrs. Whiteside, Q.C., Henn, Q.C., Baldwin, Q.C., and Perrin, appeared for the Crown; Sir Colman O'Loghlen, and Messrs. Ilolmes and O'Hagen for the traverser. Mr. Mitchell was seated at the sido bar. The case upon the information for publishing the letter to Lord Clarendon, as "her Majest3's butcher general for Ireland," was first proceeded with. Mr. PERRIN, for the Crown, in support of the de murrer, shortly stated the nature of the motion. Ile said the Attorney-General had filed an ex officio in formation against the traverser, who put in a plea to the effect, that the court could not take cognisance of that information, because within the same time an indictment had been found against him by the grand jury upon the same charge —upon which indictment he had been duly arraigned —to which he had pleaded—and which, after such plea by the traverser, had been abandoned by the Crown. Among other causes of demurrer, it was specially demurred, that the plea was bad, on the ground of uncertainty, as it,did not appear whether it was a plea in bar or in abatement. Ile argued that the plea was bad, even if the indictment was pending, and that if it were not bad, all objection was removed by the none prosequi. Sir C. O ' LoonLEN, for the traverser, submitted that ,:soinntethnedesdectolidt upon the record as it stood, there was, in point of fact, tt discontinuance, and that, therefore, the Crown was out of court and must commence proceedings de novo. Mr. HOLMES followed on the same side. in point of form the demurrer was correct, and was in h e in ar r g e u p ca l l The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Slr. Mitchell for his abatement, The cH lE a F n and JUSTICE —Let s o r t i i c n E b_a case Thisa against was i s t the the traverserinformation against gone i n . argument in this article headed h Mr. John ede a o d ,ilaSgtarinki:A tlerer(ri otrh.'e' , and submitted that secution, and Mr. Perrin and Sir C. O'Loghlen having been heard, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied according to practice, the Court was bound to give judgment for the Crown. He argued at great length against the cases cited in support ot the alleged disconti nuance, and contended that the entering of t h e no prosequi before the filing of the ex officio information was sufficient to warrant the course taken by the Crown. The CHIEF JUSTICE—The Court will give judgment on Wednesday. We have great pleasure in being able to state o n authority, that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury will consecrate the chapel of St. Augustine's College, in.‘4 , training place cat our c, missionaries, o n Saint Peter's Day (June 29). 1. deserves to be re marked, that this institution is founded on the very site of that abbey from which the first missionaries went forth to Christianize the heathen inhabitants of our na tive land. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY. The public opening of the line from Totnes to Lairs, 21i miles, took pl ace on Friday. Mr. Gill , th e chair man, and sever a l o f t h e Plymouth directors, w i t h a b out 200 of their fri en d s, l eft that place in a private train at eight o'clock in the morning, and in 41 minutes reached Totnes, where they waited the arrival of the directors residing in London, Bristol, and Exeter. The weather was extremely auspicious throughout the day. After breakfast at the Seven Stars and Seymour's Hotels, the company assembled at the Totnes station. Among those present were—Sir Thomas Fellowes. Sir Anthony Buller, Colonel Harris; Mr. T. Woolcembe, Mr. Brown, Mr. R. Cole, Mr. Derry, Mr. C. C. Whiteford, Mr. W. Carr, the Mayors of Plymouth, Devonport, and Totnes ; Messrs. Rundle and Gribble, of Tavistock; Archdeacon Froude ; the Rev. John Hatchard, of Plymouth ; Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Fripp, of Bristol; Mr. Sillifant, the High Sheriff of the county ; Mr. Brunel, Mr. Samuda, Mr. Hemmett, &c., and a great number of ladies. To ac commodate those assembled about nine carriages were provided, and these being attached to the Cancer en g ine, under char ge o f Mr. Rea ' ', of the South Devon Railway, and the Pisces, worked by .Mr. Gouch, of the Great Western Railway, left the Totnes station at 10.38 A.M. From the high land of Dartmoor, in the centre of South Devon, to the sea-side, the country is traversed with ridges of hills, which gradually diminish as they ap proach the water's edge. Between these hills are several deep vales w hi c h or i ginate the rivers E rme , T e i g n, Dart, Plym, & c . T o cut through the high land and cross these vales with a ra i lroad is a f orm idable work for any engine e r ; a ll present in the tra i n o n Friday ap peared to be perfectly sa ti s fi ed w i t h t h e great talent and ingenuity display e d by M r. Brune l i n overcoming the natural difficulties of the undertaking. Shortly alter leaving Totnes, the road enters the Marley tunnel, about 800 yards in length, cut through the grounds of Lady Carew. It then trends towards the north, and at Brent is within half a mile of Dartmoor. Between Brent and Glaso is the station of wrangerton, selected for the convenient approach of the projected branch from Kings bridge. By curved viaducts more than 100 feet high, and formed of heavy balks of timber laid across massive moorstone piers, the road crosses the valleys of Giese, Ivybridge, Blatchford, and Slade. From these portions of the line, looking down the vales towards the sea, the country presents a most de lightful appearance, and a" sense of the supposed danger on the viaducts is lost in admiration of the picturesque scenery. After passing Ivybridge the village of Cole brook and Underwood are approached, and thence the road falls into the lower roads of Saltram, the seat of the Earl of Morley. Crossing the upper stream of the Laira, the line approaches the western coast, and then, skirting the land under Crabtree, it winds through the waters of the Laira, and passes under the embankment which protects the turnpike-road from the encroachments of the sea; it then debouches into the new station con structed in front of the Laira cottages. Here the train arrived at 23 minutes past eleven A.M., having run from Totnes in forty-five minutes. The train was greeted on its nearing Crabtree and Laira by thousands of the in habitants of Plymouth, Devanport, and the vicinity, a large majority of whom had never before seen a railway train in motion. This concourse of persons were not only pleased with the novelty, but highly gratified at the prospect of the benefits to be derived from having at length obtained the advantage of direct railroad com munication with the metropolis and the manufacturing districts. OMNIBUS STATISTICS OF OXFORD-STREET.—During a discussion on Saturday in the Marylebone Vestry, respecting the cost of keeping Oxford -street in repair, Mr. Jacob Bell stated he had made inquiries at the Public Carriage Tax-office, and found that the omni buses passing through Oxford-street had increased 12i per cent. in ten years. They averaged one hundred per hour. INCOME-TAX RETURNS SOLD AS WASTE PAPER.— A weekly contemporary states, that a few days since, W. Callcutt, a butcher, residing at King's-cross, pur chased a quantity of waste paper, and upon making an examination of it, he discovered that nearly the whole of the income-tax papers which had been returned by the inhabitants of St. Mary's, Islington, and St. Luke were among the purchase. As soon as Mr. Callcutt discovered this disgraceful violation of duty on the part of those whose care should be to keep inviolably secret the private affairs of tax-payers to the income-tax, he put aside the documents, which he still retains in his possession. It has been suggested that a committee should be forthwith formed to represent the matter to the Government, and demand a searching inquiry into the whole of the circumstances, with a view of punishing the guilty parties who have so betrayed a public trust and infringed the statute. It should also be stated, that in addition to the filled-in notice papers arc the Cona missioners' assessments and notes of appeal. SALE OF THE LATE SIR ROBERT GORDON'S PIC TURES.—The sale of the Italian pictures collected by the late Sir Robert Gordon, G.C.8., late ambassador at the court of Vienna, took place on Saturday, by Messrs. Christie and Manson. With one or two exceptions, the pictures were copies. - The excepti o n s were a little picture, by Moretto, formerly in the Lampeira Palace, of the " Marriage of St. Catherine," which sold for 95 guineas ; and the "Portrait of Cardinal Lorenzo that ilaffaei the le. Pucci," by Raffaelle. This picture, formerly in the Rossi collection at Bologna, represents the cardinal in a black and white dress in a sittin g position, holding a letter in his hand. It is stated by Passavant to be an auctioneer)undoubted w s o t r a k ted of 1,500 guineas for it ; and during his lifetime had refused most tempting offers.

There was but oileronetflt sum, beyond that sum, viz., 1,000 guineas ; at which price •t was knocked down. The purchaser being Mr. Reile l the artist. ORDNANCE SURTEY OF THE 111 nag ' OLIS. Yes terday a company of the Royal sa ETR a O nd r , Miners were employed at the summit of St. Pauf' p s e C rs athedral, erecting a temporary observatory iaunediat I beneath the ball and cross, fur the purposes of the O Y of the metropolis.

She sailed from Constantinople same time as the Erin. Vast numbers of persons are flocking down to all seaports on the Continent to embark from the disturbances. Numbers are leaving Rome. There were more than thirty passengers at Malta, for whom the Erin had not room. The packet crowded to suffocation in the saloon. Very much illness (lever) prevailed in the fleet at Malta; there were 125 cases reported. The Trafalgar, 120, was to leave for Eng• land on the 26th, with Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis on board, and hoisting his flag. Admiral Harvey had entered on his duties at Malta. Many Jesuits had arrived at Malta. The Government had assisted at some Roman Catholic procession, and which had given offence to many. At Alexandria the English inhabit ants are pained to see the church there unfinished for want of funds. - - RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAT 8.

THE NORTH MAIL TRAIN.—(From a Corres pondent.)—This morning, about half-past three o'clock, as the mail train from the north was approaching within a few miles of Derby a violent noise was heard, caused, it appears, by the breaking of a wheel of a second class carriage. After proceeding upwards of two miles, having passed through a tunnel, it was discovered the carriage referr e d t o was off the rails, and the train was stopped. The gentlemen in the next carriage, a first-class one, were f ur a considerable time in the greatest alarm, having discovered the cause of the fear ful jolting and clouds of gravel, &c., which was conse quently occasioned, long before the servants in charge of the train did. After a delay of an hour and a half, the passengers were taken into the foremost ca rr i age, the others being left behind, in consequence of the second•class carriage being so much damaged. O ne gentleman, from jumping out before the train was stop ped, was much hurt about the shoulders. The above is another instance of the absolute necessity of some means being adopted whereby passengers may commu nicato with the guards, as our correspondent was f ully aware of the great danger of his situation some m i nutes before the officials discovered it. It is but right to men tion that the servants of the company acted in the matter with the greatest attention. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—This morning a shock ing occurrence took place in Little St. Thomas the Apostle : a man named William P age , a b oo k mar b ler, &c., residing at No. 1, having thrown himself out of a window on the third story. He had been ill for a con siderable time, and his mind was affected. On being taken up he was found to be dreadfully injured, and was conveyed to the hospital, where nut the slightest hopes were given of his recovery. THE BODY OP A MURDERED CHILD SENT BY THE PARCELS DELIVERY.-011 Thursday evening a small wicker-basket was brought to the Parcels Delivery Company's Office, in Middleton-street, Clerkenwell, by a respectable-looking young woman, who paid the car riage; it was addressed to the relieving officer, Holborn Union, Gray's Inn-lane, where it was delivered in due course, and on being opened the body of a male child about three days old was discovered, in a shocking state of decomposition. On Saturday an inquest was held on the body, before Mr. Mills, at the board -room of the Holborn Union, when, in accordance with the medic a l evidence, the j ury returne d a verdict of wilful murder against some person unknown. Mr. A. Moxhel, the Consul General of Belgium for New York, arrived in London yesterday morning, by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho, from Antwerp.

After much discussion, it was agreed that the agita tation of the metropolis should be left in the bands of the executive. Mr. MITCHELL delivered his report from Rochdale, and urged upon the delegates the necessity of union and unanimity iu their body. At present there was a decided split among the Chartists of Lancashire, owing to the recent conduct of Mr. O'Connor. The delegates then resumed the consideration of the report of the organization committee, and after a long discussion, resolved to appoint, provisionally, twenty jcommissioners, whose appointments have all to be sub ect to the confirmation of the country. The election of the commissioners occupied the As sembly until half -past one o'clock, when it adjourn e d until three. In the course of the morning proceedings, Mr. Briggs, of Sheffield, and one or two other delegates, stated that the people were getting dissatisfied with their proceed ings, mid that they were expecting almost daily to be recalled to their homes. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday wa s steady. Sales 5,000 bales. Railway Shares, although in but limited request, had a tendency to advance. The Belgian and other Continental papers received to-day contain no news of particular interest. The want of specie for the payment of wages was felt as a great inconvenience by the manufacturers who had me morialized the Government to order the payment in specie of the notes of the Societe Generale where the ob ject was to distribute the amount among workmen. Another arrival from the Cape of Good Hope gives us dates three days later than those already to hand. There is no political news of in. I teiest. The excellent precautions adopted to ensure the tranquillity of the frontier were proving most effectual, for even cases of stealing were become rare. The Kafirs, indeed, are likely now to be organized into useful communities, and to be taught more effectually the arts of peace. Trade was increasing, but the im• ports were stated to be too large for the exports, now the military expenditure in the eastern province is likely to be diminished. The failures in the north of Europe still continue, and much inquietude prevails in consequence. y P e l a a r t co of our In mercantile circles, having an interest in the German trade, the idea is entertained in many quar ters that the Prussians will push their successes, and by ment will the aid of gun-boats and pontoons even penetrate into the islands, and that the exasperatio ❑ bits become so ne gotiations '' drag their lB4 slow length aloganffnigsa:A.,r, have suffered i amicable arrangement.

Samuel BlackallerVenning. age. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased was a merchant in the city, and had a residence in Atkins-road, Clapham New Park. On Saturday morn. ing, about eight o'clock, the cook, hearing her mistress scream, went to the deceased's dressing-room, and found him sitting on the floor, with a loaded pistol in his left baud, cocked, and one that had been discharged lying in a pool of blood by his side. He appeared to breathe but twice, and then expired. There was a large wound uver the right temple and under the left ear. Dr. Ord, of Brixton hill, attended, but could render no assistance. The deceased had of late been in a very desponding state, owing to the loss of his son, and exhibited signs of monomania. Mrs. Venning had left him only a few minutes before. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF BITTON PAPER MILLS.—BRISTOL, MAY B.—An express messenger arrived in this city yesterday, from Bitton, Gloucester. shire, soliciting the assistance of the fire-engines of the different offices, in consequence of the breaking out of a tire in the extensive paper mills in that village, known as Bevans's Mills. The engines were dispatched to the spot, as were others from the more immediately adjacent town of Keynaham, but all efforts to arrest the progress of the fire proved unavailing, which was not extinguished till the entire building and all the valuable machinery were reduced to a heap of ruins. There was a large stock of paper in the store-room, of which a good deal was got out comparatively uninjured. The premises and stock were both insured in the Sun and Imperial r,fg "sae
