More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the must miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all.

REVIEW OF THE WORK. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before as such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

Before my retirement trent the civil service I received a provi sional appointment to a scat in the Council of the Madras Govern ment. Should I be so fortunate as to obtain my object, you may rely on my devoting my attention to the affairs of a country to which I owe much, and to the interests of a people who never more than at the present time stood hi need of support to reiieve then from a condition of roverty and general depression. I will now place before you a ootasiso statement of the grounds on which I seek at your hands an office which would seem the especial attribute of those to whom various employment in the public service and long reableme In India have given a practical acquaintance with its wants and means of improvement.

Royal Polytechnic Institution, October 21, 1848. Sir,—After a careful examinatl 41 of your New Gas Burners, which I have tested in comparison with the best hitherto known. I am compelled to acknowledge that your recent dl.tovery is superior to all others in economy, and in the purity of the flame produced by it. By the simple. yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners, you have succeeded perfewly in obtaining the proper supply of air, both in quantity and position • thus, the flame is, at all tires, steady and intensely luminous; while even under suddenly increased pres sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke is given off. I remain, Sir, yours faithfully, JOHN RYAN. M.D. LL.D., Professor of Chemistry. Mr. Richard Clark, Strand. The whole of the burners are cons'antly burning at the Establish. ment of the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY, RICHARD CLARK, Resident Manager, 447, West Strand, corner of Adelaide street. TO THE LADLES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news paper on Aug. 7, MG. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekiey, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the lierbary, Inch rate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase as l is. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, ftem ex rserience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ince, but as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any 'ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. I few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the nair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the raest aromatic herbs and Rowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of neveus headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the erewn of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See ,araphlet of testimonials.

S TY 9 NOVEMBER 28, 1848. TO the ELECTORS of the WEST RIDING of YORKSHIRE. Brook-seet Nov. 23. 1848. Gentlemen,—An invitation, as Upper unexpected a tr s it , is gratifying, has just been conveyed to me from a numerous body of electors, to allow myself to be put in nomination to represent yoir Riding. My first and overwhelming impression, on receiving such a com munication, has been one of personal unworthiness of such an honour. Whatever bearing such an admission may have, it is right to confess that, as a man whose property lies out of your county, though for a short time he represented one of your boroughs, and who is unknown by sight to a large proportion of Yorkshirenten. .uch an offer is calculated to produce feelings, in which gratitude is strongly blended with a disposition to decline the task. Allow me, however, to state to you the circumstances which have counteracted tbe3e first Impressions. The grounds on which I have c.,me to the decisi n to comply with the request to become a candi date are, is brier, those which have induced a large body of your .elves to forget that my property is south and not north of the Humber. I have been asked t 3 stand, and now consent to do so, because, while there are three or four subjects on which I entertain strong opinions, there Is another on which my views arc so leng cherished, and so firmly hAd, thai I hope there is s-areely any sacrifice which I should not feel it my duty to make In order to secure their triumph. The principle of entire freedom of commerce I desire to see carried out to Its fullest development, Including a change in our navigation laws. Economy in the public finances I desire to see effected, not so much by petty reductions In subordinate offices, as by a bold and manly review of the whole principle and details of our present expen diture. The charge on the Exchequer is greater now under a Wh!g Government than it was when the Duke of Wellington was in office. I will net presume, in such a hasty address, to say in what exact particulars of our military, naval, and civil services reductions ought to be effected ; but o! . this I am certain, that a searching investiga tion of the whole of these departments is a duty which the distressed condition of the country demands from your representatives. With regard to our representative system, I am grateful for the Reform Act as far as it goes, and if it had gone as far in practice as its supporters anticipated in theory, I should be reluctant to dis turb a settlement arrived at after severe contests. But I desire to see the principle of the Reform 11111 carried out. I wish to see elec tions the real expression of honest public opinion ; and I have witnessed so much of corruption and Intimidation that I feel per suaded that we shall never have real representation without the Ballot. To the success of the Ballot I believe large constituencies to be essential ; independently of which reason for extending the suf frage, I have a strong conviction that the wider can be made the basis on which our franchise is founded, consistently with the due qualification of the voter, the safer will be the superstructure of our Constitution, and the bettor will It be able to resist those storms which are threatening the old despotisms and novel constitutions of the Clontiselit. To these economies and reforms peace is essential. It is scarcely needful to say that both as a politician and as a Christian, I ardently desire, and should strenuously labour for its maintenance. But the point of all others on which I feel it to bo ray duty to ad dress you, is the subject of further religious endowments by the State. This is the question which alone induces me to re linquish a life of comparative privacy, and to submit to the labours, respnsibilities, and (I may add) privations, of a Par liamentary life. Here I feel that my direct duty to God as a Christian coincides with my lower duty as a politician and as an Englishman. Putting aside for the moment the abstract question of existing religious establi-hments, I protest against all new religious endowments; involving as they do the putting of truth and error on the same level, and the establishment er a pro vision for Romanist priests—the offspring of an insidious and un worthy expediency - side by side with Protestant institutions,which, whatever may be their abstract propriety or the contrary, are at all events based upon au acknowledgment of divine truth. To any provision of any sort or kind for the Romish priests, to any transfer of the property of the Irish establishmtnt under any plea, however plausible, to the adherents of 'Rome, I am conscien tiously, firmly, irrevocably opposed. But while I thus abject to the endowment of the religion •f my Romanist fellow-countryman, I are bound to add that I also object to the further endowment of Protestantism ; desiring as I do that the civil and religious rights of one class of religionists in the State should be as tenderly cherished and as firmly maintained as those of another. The deputation who have waited upon me are this instant leav ing London, and I must abruptly close this communication. I hope to follow them to-morrow to Leeds, and speedily to have the honour of addressing the electors in some of the chief towns of the West Riding. [n the meantime, I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your faithfhl and obedient servant, CULLING EARDLEY EARDLEY. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL ST. ANDREW'S DAY, the 30th of November, 1848.

Captain Henderson, arrived at Snithead this afternoon, with a freight of upwards of 2 ,500,000 dollars on mer chants' account, from the Pacific, which Messrs. Casher, wine merchants and freight agents of this port, will con vey to the Bank. She sailed from Valparaiso on the 30th of September, took the passage of the Straits of Magellan, arrived at Madeira on the 18th inn., and sailed on the following day for this port. She left at Valparaiso the Asia, Champion, and Nereus; at Rio the Inconstant and Calliope (t.laetJvier 0n.120r way home from Nerr Zealand). She has'brouoht home Lieutenant Symons, of the 99th, from New Zealand (out of the Calliope); Mr. Hunt, late Vice-Consul at Monte Video; and Count Guidon, Captain of the French war brig Genie, from Valparaiso. The Sampson has made the quickest passage from Valparaiso on record. She will be inspected to-morrow, and afterwards come into har bour to land her freight and be paid off. The following are the reports of the performances of the Rifleman and Sharpshooter screw-schooners during the cruise which terminated this day:— In smooth water, to determine the relative consump tion of fuel, the Sharpshooter (202-horse power) kept pace with the Rifleman, working at a very reduced speed. Against a closereefed-topsail breeze and a correspond ing sea the Rifleman (100. horse power) had the advan tage of nearly three miles an hour. Under steam and sail the speed of the two vessels may be considered nearly equal. Under sail alone the Rifleman appeared to have a slight advantage. The want of time is alleged as pre venting the relative capabilities of the two vessels on this point being satisfactorily determined. Another account : On Tuesday the Sharpshooter and Rifleman left Yar mouth Roads in order to encounter a gale of wind, to try the superiority of the Sharpshooter steaming against a head sea. After being at sea four days the result of the trials was, that the Rifleman proved her superiority in all points of sailing. On a wind the Rifleman beat the Sharpshooter upwards of three knots in the trial, which was the only one wherein both ships were esteemed on a prfect equality. On Saturday both vessels tried sailing with the wind on the quarter, studding-sails set, when the Rifleman was fast overhauling the Sharp shoopter, but signal was made, " Try steaming and sailing," and although Sharpshooter is 102 horse pow, r more than Rifleman, she only gained on her a quarter of a mile in two hours. The Rifleman came into harbour this afternoon to be docked, in order to discover the leak in the stern-frame which appeared while in the gale of Tuesday, the 21st, in which from her rolling motion the Sharpshooter carried away and lost her port quarter boat. The conclusion which I have arrived at from the trial is, that the Rifleman, notwithstanding the superiority of wood over iron, has shown hr rself to be superior in every point of sailing, and as to steaming, comparatively speaking, more efficient than the Sharpshooter, inas much as the Rifleman can steam 23 miles with one ton of coals, and 31 miles expansively at the lowest step, and the difference of speed between her and the Sharpshooter is not more than one knot, although the engines of the latter are 102-horse power more than the fo.imer. At 10 30 this da3 the Rifleman and Sharpshooter proceeded to Stokes-bay to try speed along the measured mile. The Rifleman, three trials up and down at full speed, averaging 8.5 knots, and working at the lowest step of expansion 7.827 knots per hour, thereby show ing that by using her lowest step of expansion-gear her speed is the same within halt a knot as though she was working full speed, which is a saving of one-third of the quantity of coals. Revolutions at full speed, 43; at the 3d step of expansion, 37. Revolutions made each mile by the engines:— First mile ... 311 Second mile ••• ••• ••• ••• 336 Third mile Fourth mile Fifth mile ••• ... 346 Sixth mile 300 Seventh mile (expansion gear, 3d grade) 355 Revolutions of the screw:— First mile ... ... ... ... ... 777 Second mile ... ... ... ... 840 Third mile ... 800 Fourth mile ... ... ... ... 702 Fifth mile ... ... ... ... 865 Sixth mile ... ... ..... ... 750 Seventh mile ... ... ... ... 887 Both vessels have done more than was expected of them, and in the absence of a similar log from the Sharp shouter as we publish from the Rifleman, we give her the credit of realising the extent of the wishes:of,all:concerned in her welfare—builder, enginemakers, commanders, and engineers. The Fire Queen steam-vessel, Master-Commander George Allen, was docked to-day. It is understood she is to have a renewal of Mr. Hay's composition on her bottom. The Superb, 80, Captain A. L: Corry, is to be paid off to•morrow. The Driver, steam-sloop Commander J. R. John son, is ordered to take her marines, and such of her seamen as wish to avail themselves of the opportunity, to Plymouth. The Rolla, exercise brig for the naval apprentices, is ordered to be laid up for the winter. She was accord ingly warped up to a buoy ahead of the flag-ship this morning, and commenced stripping, which has been car ried on with such expedition that she bids fair to be clear to her girtlines by sunset. The compasses of the Reynard, Commander Cracroft, have been adjusted to-day for local attraction. Sir Charles Napier's squadron will sail as soon as pos sible, and the Reynard, Commander Cracroft, and Plum per, Commander NollAh, aro to follow. The latter expects to be ready to-morrow evening or Wednesday noon. The former has been detained for the perfect testing of her cooking and distilling apparatus (Mr. Grant's). The Plumper has not been tried at sea, and no doubt the superior method she possesses of discon necting, and also of raising her screw when she is re quired to become a sailing vessel, and also of disposing of her funnel telescope fashion so as to set her square mainsail, will all give :the 11,-ynard an advantage as to mechanical arrangement, but this will not affect the actual sailing. Wind W.N.W., moderate breezes, and fine weather. WooLavicn, Nov. 27.—The Phaeton frigate, of 50 guns, launched at Deptford on Saturday last, under the superintendence of Mr. Willcox, master shipwright at that dockyard, was towed down the river to-day by the Adder and Pigmy steam-vessels, and they will conduct her to Chatham, the Adder and Pigmy being under orders to remain at that port ready for service. Tho Phaeton, as she passed Woolwich to day, appeared very much down in the stern, apparently fully more than three feet of greater immersion than at her bows. The Tenzer steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Selwyn, returned to Woolwich yesterday from ber experimental trial in the North Sea, and it is said to have answered very well considering the quality of coals she had on board. She left Greenhithe on the 23d, making only 5} knots with steam and 7 knots with steam and sail, owing to the inferior coals and bad draught; but on the two following days, the 24th and 25th, she made an average of 8 knots, and stood remarkably stiff under sail. She also answers her helm well, and will prove a good sea boat. Her draught was 6 feet 11 inches aft and 6 feet fore. The Arrogant, 42-gun frigate, with auxiliary screw propeller, is to be towed down from Deptford by the Monkey steam vessel, to be docked at Woolwich. The Princess Royal transport ship is under orders to be towed down the river from Deptford to Gravesend pre paratory to her proceeding with troops to the Cape of Good Hope. CAUTION.--A correspondent writes :—ln the Ken nington-road, betty, en . North• street and Richmond street, a female child, about six years of age, decently clad, is to be seen at night-time importuning men for alms, carrying on her arm a basket which she represents as containing laces, &c. This child it most assiduous in her calling, and by her plausible manner fails not to enlist the attention of male passengers, to whom she alone addresses herself, carefully shunning all female passers-Ly s An elderly gentleman was accosted last evening by this child, and who from a feeling of sym pathy, before responding to her appeal, commenced making inquiries as to the cause of her being out at that hour seeking charity ; but ere the gentleman had put the question a man and woman pounced upon him from the dead wall at the corner of St. Alban-street, where they had placed themselves to receive the proceeds, and accused him of having made improper overtures to the child. The gentleman was compelled to call forward persons who were passing at the time, some of whom stated that they had OA former occasions been similarly solicited by, and gave alms to, this very child. &it for their interference a groundless charge would have been established against one who out of kindness was about to relieve the child's supposed necessities, and he would have been made the victim of these designing characters, whose mode of living seems to be this infamous system of extortion.—Walcot•place, Kennington-road, Nov. 26. —[What are the police about in that quarter?—ED.

S jiAv We have been requested by the North-Western Company to publish the following circular : TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. Referri ng t o the notice of an intended special general meeting of proprietors on the 13th December, I am in• structed to forward tckirou the following copies of reso lutions and correspondence, from which you will per ceive that in consequence of the refusal of the Great Western and South-Western Companies to submit either to the decision of a Committee of the House of Commons on the Bill, or to reference, the question of representa tion at the proposed amalgamated board, the holding of that meeting is considered unnecessary. 'These documents will also inform you of the nature of the Bill intended to have been submitted to the pro prietors on tt, at occasion, and of the objet's which the parties negotiating had in view. It was contemplated that the Act should be permissive only, and that when passed a meeting should be called to consider the steps proper to be taken under it. An investigation would then have been instituted for the purpose of ascertaining the actual relative value of the three undertakings after which, the proprietors would again have been called together to consider the terms proposed, which would have required the sanction of not less than three fifths of the proprie tors, and without which sanction, the Act, even when passed, would not come into operation. The resolutions referred to having been submitted to this board, were approved, with the exc ption of the fol -I,,wing:—" That in any united board to be created under the Act, each of the companies shall in the first instance be equally represented in number, and such first joint board shall continue in office for a fixed term of five years from the passing of the Act, and thst due provi sion shall be made in the Act for the local administra tion of the several railways;" in which is involved the principle of nominal equality of representation for a pe riod of five years, irrespective of the much larger capi tal of this company, as compared with the capital of the other companies, as the case might be—a principle which our deputation had from fhe earliest stage, and throughout, objected to, and which they finally re served for the special consideration and decision of their board. The resolution (marked C), and letter of the 11th inst. (D), will explain the grounds cn which the board fele 't their duty to withhold their approval of rest:duties- f. 1 eling itipte that their constituents would never eolitt-y - • • that for period of five years their much larger capital' and revenue should have an amount of representation, • equal only to that sought for the capital and revenue of the other companiea respectively. As, for instance, the Great Western Company, the larger of the two, having a capital paid up of only 7,000,0004, and with an annual revenue of 822,0001., as compared with fhe paitLtip ca pital of the London and North-Western Coo pang, amounting to 14,000,000/., with an annual revenue of 2,195,0004 But with as anxious desire that the nego tiations should not be broken off upon a point which it was hoped might be adjusted hereafter, it was proposed that the question should be left either to the decision of the Committee on the Bill, or to reference. This proposal, so reasonable in itself (the principle in volved bring in strict accordance with the pmeedeat af forded by the London and North-Western Irmalgama don Act, quoted by the Great Western Company), has been rejected; and on grounds the force of which this board, after the most careful consideration, are unable to recognise. Under these circumstances, the directors are not prepared to recommend their shareholders to proceed with the proposed Bill. It becomes my duty, therefore, to inform you, that there is no longer any necessity to re quest your attendance, either personally or by proxy, or 3 / 4 the 13th of December. By order, CHARLES E.

" That having regard to the much larger paid-up capital of the London and North-Western Company, as compared with the capital paid-up of the other com panies, and the amount required to complete their en gagements respectively, this board cannot admit the principle involved in resolution - 8, and which is not in accordance with the practice adopted in similar cases, nor reasonable in itself ; but the board is willing to allow the number of directors to be settled by the Com mittee on the Bill, or by reference after the passing of the Act, subject to the approbation of the proprietors." (True Extract.) CHARLES E. STEWART, Secretary. (D.) London and North-Western Railway. Office, Euston Station, Nov. 11. My dear Sir, —The Londo n an d N ort h- Western board having to-day had under their consideration the resolu tions adopted (subject to approval) at the late confe rences, have agreed to them with one exception, for which Mr. Glyn's reservation from the outset will of course have prepared you, and also the South-Western (Great Western) deputation, to whom I this day trans mit a duplicate of this communication. For a variety of reasons, upon which I need lot now dwell, since they have. been fully and repeatedly from the first explained by our deputation, the board are not at all prepared to agree—and they feel sure that their constituents will not agree—that their much larger ca pital shall be represented at any first united board by only the same number of directors as the capital of the other company or respective companies, as the case may be. But, as the board are averse to a termination of the negotiations, conducted up to this point in so satisfactory a manner, if by any reasonable concession on their part such a result can be avoided, I am instructed to propose that the question of the relative number of directors be either left to arbitration (like other questiens which may arise under the resolutions, considered as adopted), or to the Committee of the House of Commons to whom the Bill may be referred. The suggestion of the Great Western board that the resolutions themselves should be published —a suggestion against which my board no longer seek to press any ob jections—renders it impossible to leave the question of the relative numbers of directors undecided, since the proprietors will, doubtless, expect distinct information upon so important a point. I return home on Tuesday morning, but shall be happy to attend there to any communication you may have to make to me in reply to tbis letter, And remain, my dear Sir, yours truly, J. Swim Mr. C. A. Saunders. Duplicate forwarded to the South-Western Company, addre,sed, Mr. F. T. 13irchbm. (E.) Great Western Railway Station, Paddington, Nov. 17. My dear Sir,—The directors of this company basing, at a meeting on the 2d inst., approved all the resolutions of the conference, are touch concerned to find by your subsequent letter (den d the 11th inst.) that the Loudon and North .Western board withhold their formal colifir motion of them upon an objection to the eighth resolu tion, which was previously stated on their part, and fully discussed at the meetings of the conference —a qaestion uctirotialre, when served y e by their knew, from deputation, the (i i r directors tobrust of not th insistedother two companies, that the effect of it must have been to break off the arrangement. desired,l co your letter, t o sta t e that this board d, upon a careful re-consideration of am tools reply the matter, to adh ere to the opinion, expressed through ,ut the ni gotiation —that the other companies would not be justified in conceding to the London an d N ort h- Western dir ec ti on a majority of votes in the first united board. It would practical y be the means of d priving the companies of the power to secure the fair and ho nourable performance of their duties and eegagments, converting what was intended to be a union or at-belga malion into a mere sale and transfer of other underta kings to the London and North-West( rn board, who could exercise the power of exclusive control by virtue of the majority of their representatives. It has always appeared to the directors of this com pany that the parties whose interests, pecuniary and local, may be affected, whether as associated companies or as individuals, would reasonably require that the future arrangements should provide adequately the means of justice being impartially done to all engage ments; that the power of fulfilling them should be pre served in the hands of those who made them, and not precipitately transferred to others who have always hi therto represented conflicting interests. It cannot be supposed that the public mind would be brought at once to confide in the due performance of every obligation of a company if handed over to be dealt with by the preponderating influence of another long known to have been acting in hostility to it; such would be the inevitable effect, as it seems, of conceding a decided majority of votes to the representatives of either board. It is calculated to engender distrust, and to strengthen apprehensions as to the ccusequences of any amalgamation, which it must be the interest of all to prevent, and which time alone, with an honourable ob servance of all engagements and liabilities in the inter val, and the impartial observance of duties, can success fully obviate. The period of five years was assumed from the London and North-Western Amalgamation Act to be sufficient to establish confidence as to the equitable proceedings of the united board in the minds of the public, by which time conflicting opinions or hostile views and feelings might be fairly supposed to have subsided. The various interests, as well as the property itself , will have becomo sufficiently blended to admit of one general system of election—not as representatives of each company, but as a governing body of the united company—by votes given in proportion to existing capital. Upon these and other grounds, the directors must da -1 cline to be parties to any plan of amalgamation whiels IP iIY", , 01 iiiP s . ''N 1.1
