More exalted than mere passion, it sears 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, er 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 p lace, however, this Passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the m anliest feelings become s a deadly poison in tke heart, which now darkens , as it before bright cried, 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 eve r y engagement, snap th e 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 him self to be disqualified, and dares not en ter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law fo r the fulfilment ef important ends. The wretched condition of s uch a being must sub s e quently be beyond measure deplorable ! Lov in g and beloved, he entails the most 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.

Masson, prima donna at the Theatre de la Nation, desirous of making herself well acquainted with the symptoms of insanity, in order to give better effect to her new part in Clapisson's opera of Jeanne la Folk, went to a madhouse called " La Saltpetriere," with her mother, and whilst watching the contortions of a furious madman, the latter suddenly made an attack on them, throwing two lalles of hot soup on Mme.

A memorial to the directors of the Eastern Coun• ties Railway is in course of signature in this town, call ing upo►► the board to run a train at ten o'clock in the morning, there being no train to London between 8.45 and 11.54. The memorialists suggest that the 7.40 o'clock train, which they state generally carries very few passengers, should be discontinued; but we beg to suggest, instead of giving up so useful a train to all men of business along the line, that an addi tional train should run at ten o'clock. The memorial in question has already received the signatures of the Bishop of Rochester, and many of the gentry in the neighbourhood, to whom the required train would be an especial accommodation.—Essex Herald. [ADVERTISEMENT. —John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton hall, near Huddersfield, does not rest the claim as to the efficacy of the celebrated Kayo's Woradell's Pills upon mere theory, or speculative opinion, but upon facts sub. stantiated by hundreds and thousands.

Wives and mothers, husbands and children, are constantly sending in grateful testimonies, and declaring that no medicine ever wrought such astonishing cures, or was so invalu. able to a family, as this.

On Tuesday, at ten o'clock, Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, and a jury of 15 gentlemen, opened an inquiry at the Marquis of Granby, Richmond, into the circumstances attending the death of Richard Perry, aged 33, a labourer, employed by the engineers of the South-Western Railway Company. who was killed in a collision on the Richmond line on Friday evening las►. Mr. Stovin, the general manager of traffic; Mr. Gooch, the manager of the locomotive department; and other officials connected with the South-Western Railway, were present. _ _ The i lentity of the body was proved by George Perry, the brother, and a great deal of evidence was adduced. David Pitt, a prter in the service of the South- Western Railway, stated that on Friday evening, about a quarter to six o'clock, he was on the departure plat form of the old shed at the Richmond station, waiting for the arrival of the ten minutes to six o'clock train, when he saw the Vulture engine standing in the opposite road of the arrival side. His attention was called by Mr. Cooper, the superintendent of the station to the engine, which was blowing off her steam more than usual. He went over to the engine ; there was no per son in charge of her, and he looked into the gauge glass and ascertained there was about an inch of water in it. He then went to the Locomotive beer-shop, adjoining the station, where he found Samuel Healey, the driver, and William Watkins, the fireman. Witness asked Healey if any one was with his engine, and he said, " No, why ?" and witness said, " She is blowing off very much, and I do not think she has much water." Healy said, " Run in, mate, and see to her." The fire man did not move immediately, and Healey said, " Go on, lam coming." Witness then followed the fireman into the station. The Vulture was used for the bal lasting. Thomas Webber, a pointsman, stated that on Friday evening, a few minutes before six o'clock, he was attending to his duties at Richmond station, when he saw Watkins, the fireman, get on the Vulture, which was at that time under the shed blowing off the steam. He moved the Vulture out of the station, and was going up the road when witness stopped him, and said, " You must not go up the line, there is a down-train coming." Watkins made answer that his mate was not there, and he wanted a little water in the boiler. Witness, how ever, insisted on his returning to the shed, and he did so. Witness afterwards went a short distance up the line, to an engine driven by Hunt, to turn it on the turntable, so as to let her take out the seven o'clock train. He had done this, when he heard a rush of steam, and said, " Look out, Hunt, they are coming up this line," mean ing the side lino leading to the turntable), when Hunt said, " No, they are on the other road." The Vulture then rushed past them with all her valves open, and enveloped in steam. He turned his red lamp on, and held it towards the engine as it was coming up, and hal loud to them to stop, but the person having the control of the engine paid no attention to his orders. The Datchet bell had rung, and the express train was a minute over due ; and seeing nothing of it witness told Hunt that he was afraid there was an accident. He afterwards went up the line, and saw that two engines had come in collision. Both engines were on the down line. There is only one main line from the station to New Richmond, and the Vulture would have to cross over both the up and down lines of the Datchet branch, which joins the old line at this point. The Vulture left the station at about eight miles per hour. It was not usual for a train er engine to go out at such a rate of speed. When he reached the points the line was in confusion, the Hornet engine and express train were five or six yards off the line, and the Vulture had rebounded at least thirty-five yards. He went back to the station to warn the up Datchet train, and on re turning he saw the deceased pulled out from between the engine and tender. Witness could not say whether the steam that was blowing off from the Vulture would ob scure the light of his train lamp and prevent the driver seeing it. It was possible it might. When he showed the red light the second time the driver was bound to stop; where he stood he could see the signal light at New Richmond. Other witnesses were heard in confirmation. Afterwards the evidence of Mr. E. H. Hills, surgeon, was taken, who proved being called to attend the suf ferers by an accident on the Richmond Railway, and afterwards having had his attention drawn to the de ceased, who was wedged in the left-hand side of the timber. It took half an hour to got him clear of the engine, and then his lower extremities were par-boiled. He had since made a post mortem examination, and found a fracture of the whole of the right side of the base of the skull, and a piece three inches in length had been driven into the brain. His death was the result of a vio lent blow, inflicted by being thrown against some hard substance, such as iron plating. He had also attended the driver Healey and the sweep Rowles, and was still attending them. He could not state that either of them were at present out of danger. The CORONER said that under these circumstances, having already sat several hours, he thouzht it would be advisable to adjourn the proceedings until the condition of the driver Healey was more clearly ascertained. It was then arranged that the further proceedings should be adjourned until the 30th instant. THE SHIPWRECKED GERMAN EMIGRANTS.— COLCIIESTER.-It i already kilo% n to the public that ninety-nine of the unfortunate emigrants so providen tially saved from the Burgundy, of Bremen, wrecked upon the Long Sand on the 14th instant, were landed at Harwich from the revenue cruiser and various smacks belonging to that port. Considering the smallness of the town, a very large contribution was at once made by the charitable inhabitants towards relieving the imme diate necessities of the unfortunate creatures; their maintenance, however, would have been a severe burden to the little community but for the lively interest which the case has excited in the neighbouring towns, and indeed the whole of the eastern end of the county. An appeal from the Mayor (Mr. F. Hales) reached the chief magistrate of Colchester, on Saturday, and was promptly responded to by that functionary and the inha bitants generally; besides individual subscriptions there were collections in four of the churches, the Friends' meeting-house, &c., and by these means a fund of 501. had been raised up to Monday night, with the probabi lity of further sums being received. In Ipswich also a similar effort has been made; aad it is hoped that, be aides supplying the poor people with the nece*Eary clothing for resuming their voyage to New Orleans, there will be something left to distribute amongst them in cash. THE GREAT WESTERN DOCKS AT PLYMOUTH.— These ducks are progressing very rapidly. Between 400 and 500 men are employed, and the work is continued night and day, as the tide suits, so that no time is lost. Works are tieing carried on in different parts of the bay ; some of the men being engaged in the cofferdam, laying the sea wall ; others moving the ponderous ma chines on the railway, laid for facilitating the transit of the immense blocks of stone ; others, again, are em ployed in forming the embankment between the inner and the outer wall of the docks. There are two steam engines (one at each end of the works), for pumping the water from the dams, &c. The principal work now in operation is the south dock wall, on the Ply mouth side, a considerable portion of which is carried up to its proper level. This wall is built with limestone, of very large size, from the neighbouring quarries, and it has a most substantial appearance. In the middle of the bay, near the reef of rocks, an immense timber stage has been Erected, and the dock wall on this part will be supported on piles. There is in this place a channel of mud, about 250 feet wide, and 46 feet deep, lying be tween the strata of limestone and that of slate. The western boundary of the Channel is composed of the lat ter material. By the repeated blasts of gunpowder the reef of rocks is fast disappearing. On the Stonehouse side a steam-engine has just been set to work, to pump the water from a moveable cofferdam, so that the men will shortly be at work on the wall on both sides of the bay; and it is probable that the south wall for the docks will be finished about Midsummer next. In order to accommodate the shipping frequenting this part of the harbour, when the inner part is closed against vessels, the area between the docks and the pier is being cleared. The whole area that will be occupied by the docks is about 13 acres. When completed :it will accommodate the largest of the Oriental and Peninsular Company's steamers. There will also be a graving dock sufficiently capacious to hold one of the largest steamers. DEATH OF A WELSH SCHOLAR.—Died, on the 7th instant, very suddenly, at Cwmdu, Crickhowell, the Rey. T. Price (Carnuhanawc), vicar of that parish. This gentleman took a lively interest in the promotion of Welsh literature, and the cultivation of the Welsh language. He was the author of " Hane s Cymru," or a History of W a l es i n the Welsh tongue , The Geographical P rogress o f Empire and Civil i. sation," and other works. Warm-hearted, liberal, and charitable, his loss will be greatly felt in his p ar i s h and neighbourhood, Hi s death was though symptom s o f decay had be sud den, f al en or some time visible to his friends. As would not sustaina scholar ho an in s i gn ificant position by the side of men holding the hig hest n rank . for scholastic d attainment, but his taste took a n much in that too in early life; he was never s oa and as when feasting his eyes upon some relic n of l ancient Rome, or revelling amongst the coins which issued from the Mint of some of the Caesars, except when he had the opportunity of ransacking the cabinets of those who had made the collection of British antiquities the objects of their particular attention. lle made the drawing: of some of the old coins, and grave stones, from which the beautiful plates in "Jones's I I istory of Brrconshire" were engraven; and all the designs, many of which were ex• ceedingly•chuste, which ornament the silver medals given by the Abergavenny Cymreigyddion Society, to the un successful competitors at their Eisteddfodau, were drawn by our deceased friend. He attended the last meeting of the Abergavenny Eisteddfod, and seemed inspired with fresh vigour, but it was only transient, and the principality has to deplore his loss at the age of sixty.

When the friends left the churchyard the bells rung a muffled pawl.--Cambrian. "Information, a few days later, has been received from his Excellency's camp at Bloem Fontein. On the morning after the action of the 29th August, which was not over till after sunset, Pretorius, accompanied by only three men, passed the farm of Commandment Erasmus, full 60 miles from the field of battle, on the road to wards Magalisberg. Gert Kruger, one of the insurgent field commandants, passed the same place on the following Thursday, and stated that Pretorius fled, and left the people to shift for them selves—that he (Kruger) was now their leader, and having heard that his Excellency desired to see Potgeiter, he would go and feich him, and also P. Beater. He further declared that he and Beater wanted to speak with the governor, and not to fight ; but Staunders said, 'No ; fire away.' Staunders was struck by a round shot on the shoulder and side of the ht ad, and lay for a short time insensible. Three wounded b era passed Erasmus's place, one shot through the nou:h, one through the arm, and one through the leg. When Pet torius returned to his camp after the fight he rode through without stopping, in at one side and out at the other, as Hannibal did at Zerma, and Napoleon at Waterloo, leaving the parts of Scipio and Wellington to be acted by Sir H. Smith. Only two prisoners fell into the hands of the victors, one of them a deserter from the 45th Regiment. Both were tried by a court-martial at Bloem Fontein, and shot. It was ex pected that Sir Harry would reach Wenburg on the gib, and after restoring British authority there, return to Bloem Fontein by the 16th. This is all that is certainly known at present. There was a rumour at Colesberg that another battle had been fought beyond Bloem Fon tein on the 6th; but:it is generally disbelieved here, as it is almost impossible that news up to that date could have reached Colesberg when the post started.

The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy.

One half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, sr a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em ,,itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cotriprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, Int broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should font as item in the contpact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

On alighting from the train, which had come from Basingstoke in charge of Mr. Cornelius Stovin, the manager of the South-Western Railway, her Majesty was received by Admiral the Hon.

THE AURORA BOREALIS. --- On Friday evening the heavens presented one of the grandest display 8 we ever witnessed of this the most beautiful of the celes tial phenomena. Between seven and eight o'clock an unusual degree of light appeared in the eastern hemi sphere, and at about tho lattt r hour the heavens in the same quarter glowed with a red tint of considerable breadth, which gradually assumed a pyramidal shape and limited at the zenith with a pillar of a similar hue, which sprung up from the western horizon, thus forming a complete arch of crimson light. This ap pearance continued with slight variation for upwards of an hour, during which time the aspect of the heavens was extremely beautiful, the stars being distinctly visible through their coloured veil; occasionally the line of the arch became very broad, particularly at the extreme points, and again the rays of light diverged in several directions, and spread over nearly the entire expanse of the heavens. Between nine and ten o'clock the northern hemisphere shone also with great brilliancy, from innumerable streams of pale and rose coloured light which shot upwards, but this effect was of short duration. Soon after ten o'clock, the lurid appearance subsided, and was succeded in the eastern horizon by splendid coruscations of pale light, the co lumns of which reached to the zenith; these continued to illumine the heavens until the rising of the moon soon atter eleven o'clock, when they faded before her supe rior briliiancy.— Essex Herald. SMUT IN WHEAT--We have received a letter from a practical farmer in reference to this subject, in which he says—" Observing in your columns a paragraph respecting the smut in wheat, I beg leave to give you my opinion on the subject. I confess lam at a loss to know exactly what produces bags. but I assure you I never have any, and when I explain to you the mode in which I prepare my seed and corn, and the results, perhaps all who can do so will be induced to follow my example. A fortnight before I use it I fetch up as much salt water as I shall want, which I use for the purpose; and I am of opinion that if wheat be impregnated with bad salt water, well limed, and sown by hand, the smut will be prevented, and vermin will be often kept from eating the corn in the ground. The stench of bad salt water is very offensive, but I havo often stood over it a considerable time, mid never found any evil effect from it as regards health.—Essex Herald. SOWING.—From the continued and heavy rains which prevailed at the usual period for resuming the labours of another agricultural year, when, after the lull which follows the ingathering of one harvest, we prepare to deposit in the earth the seed which in due time is to burst into the golden crops of another, it was feared that no little inconvenience and loss would be sus tained. The farmer looked around in doubt upon the saturated fields, upon which neither plough nor harrow, scarcely the foot of husbandman, could venture ; the markets began to rise; the speculator was keeping a sharp watch upon the weather, and there seemed some thing like a cloud hanging over the future. Happily , this has been dispelled by the sunshine of the past fort night, which in favourable situations has brought the lard into working order, the sharp touches of frost hailing assisted the operation by rendering the soil more frilible; and the plough actively commenced its opera limits in all directions. About Colchester and that dis trigt we are told the wheat seeding has progressed very favpurably; simil ar statements reach us from other parts of the county; and though no doubt is particular lo calities the land is too wet to be worked with satisfac tioO, and the season's tillage is to some extent delayed, there is now no ground for fearing that the breadth of the, next year's crop will b e act ua lly di m i n i s h e d from t h e husbandman being c o mpell e d by th e we ather to s tin t the; fruitful earth in its accustomed seed.—Chelmsfor d Cl4enicle. my I s e :F ve u s 7Es A s r O o r t lg y A VE O 3 O . o — d T . 5 7 f o h r a t an s y ha th ll ing l ? do ss w ks ith e I T cox espondent. Do with them ! good for anything I Why treasure them to be sure, as if they were coin of the i realm; they are good for everything which a gar dener has to do. They are the best of all shelter, the best of all materials for bottom-heat, the best of all soil, the best of all drainage, the best of all manure. It is true they contain little or no nitrogen, but they rot quickly, are full of saline matt‘rs, on which everything mai bears the name of plant will feed gluttonously, and from their peculiar structure allow air to pass out with perfect freedom. If we wish to know what leaves are good for, we have only to burn them and see what a quantity of ash they leave behind. All that ioNll' is as much food fur other plants as beef and mutton are for u 4. It is the nriterial which nature is perpetually restoring to the soil in order to com ptu.sate for the waste which i:, produced by the forma tion of timber.
