MAY 16.—A communication received this day from Cuxhaven, by the Commercial Depu tation, states that Captain MEYER, stationed at Heli goland, in the Danish frigate Gefirn, has received instructions to exempt Lubec vessels from the em bargo. This notification has been confirmed by a letter from a Hamburgh ship captain, who had been taken to Copenhagen. COPENHAGEN, MAY 14.—The number of vessels which have been seized amounts to about eighty, several of which, especially those from Hamburgh, have very valuable cargoes. The ships are now being brought into the harbours. The preliminary con demnation has been established. The law of seques tration is not yet in active force, and, therefore, no ac tual condemnations have taken place. According to the Royal ordonnance of the 29th April, the property which belongs to those nations designated as at war with Denmark will be treated on the same footing. The captains are at liberty to choose their commis sioner here. Neither they nor their crew are subject to any restraints. The captains daily receive four marks, the steersmen three marks, and the sailors one and-a-half marks. COPENHAGEN, MAY 16.—The semi-offical journal, the Berlingsche Zeitung says, that it is untrue that Sweden refuses to interfere in the affair of Schleswig) as is declared by the German papers; on the contrary, Sweden will act in this question in concert with the other Powers, guaranteeing the possession.of Schles wig to the Danish Crown ; further, it will immediately come to the aid of the kingdom of Denmark, when ever it is attacked by Germany, without waiting for the decision of the other Powers. The assistance of Sweden gives fresh courage to the belligerent parties, and they do not hesitate to speak of the speedy assist ance of Russia. Report says, that M. V 01..; LEW. ETZOW, who was sent to St. Petersburgh, has re turned with favourable intelligence, and that the Russian fleet, under the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, will arrive speedily. SWEDEN, MAY 11.—The Gothenburg- :Handels Zeitung, of Stockholm of the 11th, states that the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE has arrived there, and 'will immediately proceed to Copenhagen. The Aftenblad fur Carlskrone, of the 11th, states that orders had been received there for the immediate equipment of several vessels and steamers, which are to be ready to start on the 20th with the frigate Eugenie. The schooner Actio is also to be imme diately fitted out. CHRISTIANIA, MONDAY, MAY 2.—The day before yesterday commands were received here from the KING, directing that the greatest number of troops which the KING is permitted to send over the fron tiers without the concurrence of the Sorthing, viz., :3,000 Norwegian troops, are to join the corps of observation assembled at Schoner ; at the same time a request has been addressed to the Sorthing to make a grant for the armament. RENDSBURG, MAY 15.—There is nothing new from the scene of war. The ships on the Belt, after the threat of WRANGEL, have been perfectly quiet. The Danes were waiting for the arrival of the Swedes, who, it is said, will come on the 20th. On the 13th Major LASTROW, who had gone out on a predatory excursion to Aarhuus, with a detachment of Schleswig-Holstein troops, returned with a fort night's provisions of all sorts for 7,000 men. He likewise brought the Vidame of Aarhuus as a hostage for further deliveries, and as a reprisal for the capture of M. VON KROGH. KIEL, MAY 16.—Private letters from Sunderrnit state that at the dawn of day yesterday 200 more Danes crossed from Alsen ; that the Hanoverian soldiers wanted to make an immediate attack upon them, but were deterred by General HALKETT till the Danes had advanced considerably, whereupon they were attacked, and nearly all put to death; very few were taken prisoners, and not one escaped to tell the sad event at Alsen. The immediate reinforcement of the 10th corps to 18,000 men is expected. A letter from his Royal Highness the Prince of PRUSSIA to General WRANGEL, dated London, May 2, 1848, has been received : "My dear General,—You can easily conceive the satisfaction and the deep interest with which I re ceived the intelligence respecting the encounter at Schleswig and Flensburg on the 23d, and the follow ing days. The reports now lying before me bear honourable witness of the valour and perseverance of our troops, who then fought under your guidance for the honour of Germany. The high expectations which I have always cherished of the valorous spirit of our Prussian army have been fully responded to by the troops at Schleswig, and I am proud of hav ing been the commander of the greater part of them in two different divisions of the army during a long series of years.

Diffidence, sr a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes .st o ,ltterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the ple a of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret tin - aoruprosing hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapach and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set - dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item: In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, oy post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely d amphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's ite, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob iervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always fn the "sunny side of the way."

The application was made en the affidavit of the attorney for Mr. Barnes, which stated that it would be impossible that justice could be done if the trial was forced on at the present session. Mr. CLARZSON resisted the application, but after a short conversation, and an intimation from the Bench that the defendant was entitled to the delay he asked at least upon one of the indictments, the Learned Gentle man said he would consent to the postponement of the trial on both indictments, provided the defendant would engage not to harrass as he had been doing the father and mother of the young lady, and would also undertake to try the case at the next session before one of the judges. Mr. BALLANTINE, on behalf of the defendant, was most anxious that the matter should be tried before one of the judges, he, however, wished his Learned Friend to understand that the defendant disputed every fact in the case, in which there were a great many questions to try, one of which was whether nw ee t r h he e i sn p i, eo a t r a t k i r e en s eepd b i r nE i g n r g i he i bringin gd this wife alluded la t d o y , he b would elong undertake eth that not hi ng of the kind s young fcr li tol T o am u r h g l e d he i t ma r t a i g. a k a l e i n w A p s a l ts a s c tt t e ho h e e t u n hd n ee o t fa i I r e r d ni e n i d r t oyn d w at a t s o s d t e a c n i d d e o d v e t r o t i w l ho l t m he n t e h x i s sessions.

The plaintiff was the enoine-keeper of a small Guildhall, before Mr. Justice ERLE.) town in Suffolk, named lladleigh, for which office he received 121. a year. The defendant is a tradesman and ratepayer in the town. The plaintiff held the office from 1839 down t o th e month or August last, when he was dismissed. A meet i ng was held with respect to the matter in th e vestry, at which a person named Ansell was stated by a w i tness named Lamb to have said, speaking of th e p l aintiff, " Simpson has received various sums of mon e y f rom the fire offices, and has misapplied them, not accounted for them, nor settled the accounts. I therefore cons id er him an improper person to hold the office. I h ave seen receipts to the amount of 58 01 .—1 believe 6001 .; b ut 5804 I'll be sworn to, which Simpson denies havin g ever received. I therefore consider him an improper an d unfit person to fill the o ff i ce, and he ought to ha ve b een dismissed from the office months ago." The speaker turned to the defendant, and asked him if these statements were true, to which he replied, " They are true, perfectly true.'? It appeared that the plaintiff had been in prison at the suit of the defendant. Mr. Serg ean t Al len appeared for the plaintiff' and Mr. O'Malley for the defendant. Mr. O'MALLEY dwelt upon the fact that the plaintiff had brought his case to London, instead of having it tried in the locality where he was best known, and con tended that the words being uttered at a public meeting could not be construed into express malice, but as words which the defendant in his capacity as a ratepayer had an undoubted right to utter. Mr. Justice ERLE said the law held that if words were spoken f or an honest purpose that they were Pri vileged, a n d cou ld not, therefore, be construed into malice. Th e wor d s having been spoken at a public meeting, and by a ratepayer, who had a per f ect r i ght to be pr esen t, ra i se d the presumption that they were ' privileged • but if they th oug h t - the defendant was actuated by malice, and not by an honest and public purpose, they would find their verdict for the plaintiff; if not, for the defendant.

The original debt claimed by the plaintiffs was 1051. 16s. 11d., of which the defendant had paid 1021. 4s. id. into court, and pleaded never indebted as to the r es t. Th e on l y quest i on upon which the case turned was whether or not, according to the custom of the trade and the understanning between the pa r ti es , t h e defend an t was to be charged with interest upon the duties which were paid for him by the plaintiffs before taking the liquors in question out of bo n d. Th e de fendant d en i e d that he had any right to be so charged, and the sum at issue, therefore, was only 3/. 12s. 10d., the amount of the interest. The CHIEF BARON, in the course of his summing up, said it had been observed by the counsel for the plain tiffs, on his stating from the bench that it was not right for persons to come into court, and spend a great deal of money, and occupy a great deal of time to recover so small an amount, that every free-born Englishman had a right to go to law if he liked, and that it was an in vasion of his constitutional right to make any comment upon it. Now, he (his Lordship) considered that every man who merely made the law the rnle of his duty was a very bad citizen, and that a man might undoubtedly be one of the worst members of society if he permitted himself to do all that the law allowed, and did nothing hut what the law compelled him to do. A man might strictly keep within the law, and yet be one of the worst persons crawling on the face of the earth ; and if it was to be made the rule of life, it was impossible in that case that the law could reach many matters which it was intended to control. Unless a man's disposition and mind was governed by something like a Christian feeling, and by proper social kindness and benevolence towards those with whom he came in com munication, he could never do his duty either to God or man. But whatever might be the character or disposi tion of the party, there could be no doubt that he was entitled to the benefit of the law —and as he claimed to have that benefit it was his duty to see that it was granted to him. The question for the jury to consider, was simply whether or not the plaintiffs were entitled to charge interest upon the monies which they paid for duty upon the liquor supplied to the defendant. The jury interrupted his Lordship before the conclu sion of his summing up to intimate that they were unanimously of opinion that there ought to be a verdict .or the defendant. Verdict for defendant. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) CROWN EXTENT.—TIIE QUEEN V. NORVILLE. This morning a writ of extent was executed before Mr. Secondary Potter, to ascertain of what goods and chattels, &c., J. Norville, late of No. 40, Cornhill, City, was possessed, within the bailiwick of the Sheriffs of London, liable for the sum of 1,2501. due from him as collector of property and assessed taxes. Mr. Whittle, one of the officers of the city of London, proved the seizure of furniture of the value of 30/.; book debts valued at 500/.; and the lease of the house, held at the yearly rent of 250 guineas per annum, and subject to claims for 5371. money lent, and 50/ costs— exclusive of these sums, the lease was valued at Si. The CROWN SOLICITOR contended that Mr. Farthing had paid the money as security to the Commissioners of Property Tax, who uave him notice of the deficiency, 4631., which he paid, and the bond (for 1,5001.) was cancelled. The Learned SECONDARY said he could not decide the point. A Mr. Barber, who was returned as a debtor for 501., said he only owed 41. or 5/. The CROWN SOLICITOR said the jury wero not de ciding as to whether the debts were actually due, inquiry would be made. The jury then gave a verdict for 5381. NEW CO UR T. (Before the RECORDER.) James Seymour, aged 45, who was described as a grocer, was indicted for stealing a clock, the property of Mr. Holloway, clock maker, 16, John-street, Minories. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner or dered the clock on the 19th June of last year, it being understood that he was to pay for it on delivery. When delivered it was retained, and within an hour afterwards pawned at Mr. Russell's, in the Old Kent road, and the duplicate being afterwards sold, the clock was never delivered, and the present prosecution instituted. The prisoner declaimed loudly against the tyranny of Mr. Charles Pearson, the City Solicitor, by whom, he said, the pro secu ti on had been instituted. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. RYLAND, who was retained for the prosecution, then stated that the prosecution had been instituted by the Lord Mayor himself. The prisoner was then sentenced to six months' im prisonment, with hard labour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Your Royal Highness's testimony is a fresh call to us to discharge our duties with every devotion. The remembrance of your Royal Highness is warmly and faithfully cherished by the Prussian troops, and we all gratefully acknowledge that by your energetic exertions the discipline of our army was so effectively carried out; that your true martial spirit animated them, a spirit which they displayed so powerfully and so gloriously in the storming of the Danewerke, in the encounter at Schleswig. Your Royal Highness may, at the same time, be graciously assured, that if ever, under the more im portant relations, we should be called upon to take up arms for securing the independence of Germany, the Prussian army would deem it the highest privilege to place itself in full confidence and devotional loyalty under your powerful guidance.

Those objections having b een ar gued and de cided by the judges the prisoner was placed in the dock this morning to receive the judgment of the Court. As it y not t b o e s is now some time since the eas e w as before the Court, it m fora ta m te iss ;hea i the cts information of our readers, d d a e n rs, shortly a upon which the charge conviction are founded. The indictment had been pre ferred at the suggestion of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. The defendant Brown lived, in 1840, in Wimpole• street, as a butler, and he contracted a ma rriage ' in 1847, with a female of the name of Esther Field, a girl only 18 years of age. Esther Field was the daughter of a Mr. James Field, of Berkhampstead, both her father and mother were now dead, and she had been left property to the amount of upwards of 1,100/. a year, and the brother of the defendant was appointed her guardian, together with another person. Upon the death of the father of the young lady an application was made to the Court of Chancery to make her a ward of that Court, s h e being then only eighteen years of age. While the mat ter was under consideration in that Court the defendant induced her to go with him to Trinity Church, m aryie.. bone, where they were married, the banns having been previously published in that church. After the celebra tion of the marriage the parties separated, Esther Field going to her friends at Berkhampstead. Upon its be coming known that the marriage had taken place, an ap plication was made to the Vice-Chancellor, who ordered the defendant to be committed for a contempt of the Court in marrying a ward. After this the matter was referred to the Attorney-General, upon the desiro of the Vice-Chancellor, and upon his certificate and with the approval of the Vice-Chancellor, proceedings were instituted. The charge against the prisoner was that for the purpose of evading any detection, and for the purpose of obtaining the celebration of the marriage, he made a false statement to the clergyman, to the effect that Esther Field was of full age ; tbat he (the defend. ant) resided at 31, Wimpole-street, and that Esther Field also resided in the same street, the fact being that Esther Field was then only eighteen years of age, an d the defendant 52, and that she resided at Tring, an d not in Wimpole-street. Mr. Justice COLTMAN immediately on taking his seat this morning proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner, and in doing so observed , that the prisoner had been convicted at the sessions before the last, before the Lord Chief Baron and himself, of an offence against the 6th and 7th of Wm. IV., chap. 86. The substantial part of the cha rge against the prisoner was that after the cele bration of his marriage with his present wife, he know.. ingly and falsely made to the clergyman who performed the ceremony, a gentleman of the name of Hamilton, sever a l false statements for the purpose of procuring the registration of the ma rria g e. On the behalf of the prisoner two objections were taken to the indictment— The Honourable Francis Scott, M.P., Messrs. J. W. Sutherland, Mark Boyd, and Browning trans-- acted business yesterday at the office of her Majesty's Commissioners of Emigration. ADULTERATION OF FOOD. — Yesterday, at a meet ing of the Manchester guardians of the poor, it was de termined to appoint a professor of chemistry to the union, to examine the quality of food supplied, and to offer the appointment to Mr. C. Calvert, of the Royal Institution. In submitting a motion to that effect, Mr. Brooks, one of the guardians, said he had brought the subject forward in February, when Mr. Austin, Assistant Poor-law Commissioner for the district, advised that they should first obtain the sanction of the Poor-law ' Commissioners, and that sanction had now been given. It would be recollected that he had stated at the time (and a copy of this statement he had sent to the Com missioners) that he had obtained samples of the food supplied to the Manchester union, and that on a che mical analysis it had been found there was a mean depreciation, by adulteration, in food of the value of 12,3581. to the extent of 2,4281. This, he repeated, was the adulteration on articles to the amount of only 12,0001., whilst the total annual expenditure in this way was upwards of 50,0001. per annum; and he looked to this appointment, therefore, as one of very great import ance and value.

DARING RonnaßlEs.—The public, and espec i a ll y visitors of the British Museum, aro warned that several very impudent street robberies h ave l ate l y b een com mitted in broad day in that vicinity. N ew Oxford -street and the west end of Great Russell -street are the parts chiefly infested. Young rascals, with confederates ready to receive plunder or mislead pursuers, stand at the corners of the suspicious -looking streets that con nect or run into these thoroughfares. Seizing a hand kerchief or a watch, they turn the corner in an instant, and are soon lost in a region which still retains its character, notwithstandin g the recent improvements. Indeed, we aro not sure that the " Rookery" in its pre sent condition is not a more effective arrangement for the capture and disposal of booty than before, We can only remind gentl emen who choose to let their property court the public eye in a gaping coat pocket, and ladies who persist in carrying their watches suspended from gold chains, or pinned to their girdles, that no police can protect them from the fingers of the spoiler. They must either conceal their property, or keep a sharp look out. LONDON SOCIETY 'OR THE PROTECTION OF YOUNG FEMALES.—Yesterday a meeting of the subscribers and others interested in promoting the objects of the above institution, was held at their office, Moira Chambers, Ironmonger-lane, City---J, T. Barlow, Esq., in the chair. The Secretary reported that there are now in the asy lum, at Tottenham, 70 young females, the eldest under 15 years of age, who are fed, clothed, religiously edu cated, and fitted for respectable servitude. It was unanimously resolved that six additional of the most urgent cases be admitted. The asylum, with sufficient support, would afford accommodation for more than 130 inmates. The society has, during the twelve years of its existence, caused the suppression of above 300 noto rious houses of ill-fame in various parts of London, and a prosecution is now pending against an individual who keeps his carriage, livery servants, and country houses, and who is the proprietor of 50 houses of an infamous description, principally at the went end.

It will be remembered that fivik,Jrish railway navvies introduced themselves to a " crorw b ac h" ( a d r i nk i ng bout) at the cottage of a man named Davis. One of the navvies quarrelled with a young man name d M organ, and blows ensued b etween them. A rush was made to the road, and in the confu sion the deceased, John Williams, was stabbed to the heart, and Jenkins Evans, who was coming up to in what w as th e matter, received similar in- quire caused his sp ee dy d eat h . The navvies ur y , w hich, five in number, were apprehended, and two of them were admitted to give evidence. Thomas Martin appeared to have stab bed the deceased, 'Williams ; he was seen to strike the unfortunate deceased with a knife, and afterwards ob served, "I am the boy that let the wind throw of them," J en ki ns E vans was described to have s ome re ceived his fatal injuries from Michael Leary. Th e jury returned a verdict, i n t h e case of John Williams, of wilful murder against Thomas Martin as principal, and against Michael Least Thomas John Norris our aiding and abetting. In that of Jenkins Evans they found a verdict of wilful murder against Michael Leary as principal, and against Thomas Martin and John Norris as accessories. They were removed in custody to take their trial at the ensuing assizes.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales. American realised 31}d. to Sid. per lb. The market was very quiet, and the advance of Monday last was entirely lost. There were large arrivals. Rail way Shares were in considerable demand, at higher prices. The arrivals of gold from Russia appear likely to cease, a prohibition being said to have been issued a4ainst further exports, but there is another instalment this week from St. Petersburgh by the Rob Roy. The Ilamburgh mail of Tuesday has arrived, and brings no cheering information upon the subject , of the Danish war. Great preparations were making on both sides, and the circle of hos tilities bide fair speedily to embrace Sweden, and possibly, though not so probably, Russia. The com merce of the Baltic is, for the nonce, quite annihilated as far as the German States are concerned. In the Continental letters, generally, we observe nothing of special importance. The next Bank of France return is looked for with considerable interest, and ere long a fresh loan to the Government is considered inevitable. There are some items of information in the Canada accounts which indicate the prospect of considerable activity ere long in some branches of trade. A correspondent of the Philipsburg (Canada East) Missisquoi News, writing from Montreal, under date of the 19th inst., says— " The Prince Albert is daily conveying flour to Laprairie, to be transported by railroad to St. John's, and from thence by steamers and sloops to Burlington, Plattsburgh, and Keeseville. It is probable that Mon treal will supply the country bordering on Lake Champlin in future. Were the Portlaad Railroad con structed, ours would be the market resorted to , by Maine and Eastern Vermont and New Hampshire." Again, with respect to the shipping interest, we are advised that-- "There appears to be no unusual stir among the builders at the Cross this spring. We notice three steamers on the s t oc k s at present. Messrs. Tait's new boat, intend e d to run between Montreal and Quebec, is far advanced, and will be ready to be launched in about a week.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, 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 cevers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many 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 conseouence 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. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and 01 their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneous►y entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of iisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, - secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the wiedical man who can show by posse , sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

It is amongst the most successful operas in the repertoire of this theatre, and Madame Grisi's vengeful Italian lady, Lucrezia, is universally ad mitted to be one of her finest delineations. Not only is her peculiar style of beauty and matured form admi rably adapted to the part, but the music is equally fitted for her vocal means. There is no one element wanting to complete the dramatic or vocal illusion. To dilate at the present day on its abounding excellencies is un necessary—we have only to say that we have seldom seen her to greater advantage than last night. Mario was the Gennaro; Alboni, Orsini; and Tamburini, Al. f ons o. Mario was in charming voice, and Alboni was honoured with a triple encore in the "Brindisi." The trio " Guai se ti fugge no motto" was redemanded. The principal performers were called at the end of each act and at the conclusion of the opera.. Madame Viardot Garcia gave the last scene of Amino. from Sonnambula, and was encored with vast enthusiasm i❑ the N on giunge" and twice recalled.

AN EXPENSIVE EXPERIMEN T WITH THE COUNTY COURTS ACT.—It may not be generally known that a person can be summoned, by the County, Courts Act, to answer a debt from any part of England, provided the debt was contracted in the district where the plaintiff resides, but if the plaintiff fails to prove his case, the Commissioner has the power of allowii3gtbe defendant his expenses. A case in point occurredqin London on Saturday last. Mr. J. G. Shipley, of :ermyn-street, Haymarket, summoned Mr. L. T. Gaskill, of this town, to appear before the Commissioner of the Westminster County Court, to answer an alleged debt of 51. 18s. 6d. due to the plaintiff. The defendant was bound to appear personally, or pay the claim. Not, however, acknow ledging its justness, he did appear, and a verdict being given in his favour, the Commissioner made an order upon the plaintiff to pay Mr. Gaskill five guineas for his expenses, which was of course reluctantly complied with. —Liverpool Courier. . ..
