A FACT FOR - THE FI ELD. • •••••-...A number of sportsmen, like " birds of a feather," • One day after shooting, were dining together, And I needn't to say they were all rather merry, As they sat after dinne r, enjoying their sherry. " 1 Such indeed was the case, and in style did they go on, ▪ With toasts and with anecdotes, ditties, and so on. • Now one of the company happened to be A quick-witted gentleman, something like . me ; And the host said he trusted it would need no persuasion, If he asked for a song on the very occasion. krit• So the poet requested a writing utensil, And at once set to work w ith his paper and pencil, And in five or ten minutes, or hardly so long, •ft-- The sportsman produced AN ORIGINAL SONG. The warrior bold, in days of old, Might sing of his sword and his shield ; But the man of the sport, would sing as he might, Of the Coat that he wears in the field. See, see.

Diftidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em- Muer the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un ceedprosing 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.

Argyll-plate Regent-street ; and all fis.itsollors E LIBACY .—Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a tit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness Into which his affianced would be plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her fr in accepting other offrs. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted e ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are pr evented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im puhe towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MONKLAND. On Wednesday the first general ordinary meeting of this company was held at the Star Hotel, Glasgow, Mr. Tnomas Graham in the chair. The advertisement call ing the meeting having been read, Mr. Knight, the secre tary, read the report of the directors, from which it ap peared that, notwithstanding considerable opposition, the Act for the Amalgamation of the Monkland and Kirkintilloch, Ballochney, and Slamannan Railways, for which the directors, in March last, were authorised to apply, had been procured, and that they now met toge ther for the first time under it. Under this Act the old shares in the Monkland and Kirkintilloch, Ballochney, and S!amannan Railways had been converted into con solidated stock in the manner stated in the report sub mitted in March last—viz., 221. 16s. 10d. for each share of the Monkland and Kirkintilloch; 401. 108. 10d. for each share of the Ballochney ' • and 221. 15s. 10 d. for each share of the Slamannan Railway. The direc tors felt gratified on this occasion in directing the attention of the shareholders to the very favour able state of their balance-sheet. It showed a free ba lance of 9,530/. ss. 5d., applicable to a dividend, which was in round numbers at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The directors, however, deeming it essential to keep a reserve account, for the purpose of replacing works or plant, had come to the resolution of recom mending to the shareholders that they should only de clare a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable on the Ist of November next, and that the balance be carried to reserve account. The revenue ac count for the past six months only showed an increase of 1,7351. 12s. 4d. over the preceding half-year, but the directors had pleasure in stating that they had been able to reduce the working expenses, excluding interest upon debt, from 15,1981. 14s. 4d. to 10,7411. Be. 10d., thus effecting a saving on the half-year of 4,4571. 58. 6d. Owing to the opening of the Castlecary branch, con necting the Scottish Central with the Caledonian Rail way, an addition to the trade of this company would arhe therefrom, on account of a portion of the Monk land Railway being required for the transit of their traffic. The traffic of the company would also be un doubtedly increased from the opening of the Campsie branch of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The report then detailed the expediency of creating new shares, guaranteed 6 per cent. per annum. It was then resolved that the seal of the company be affixed to the register of proprietors of consolidated stock, and that the directors be requested to take measures for disposing of fractional parts of said stock less than 10/., so as to combine such fractions under the authority of the shareholders individually. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the sum of 32,3081. 3e. Bd. standing at the credit of revenue account on the 31st of January last be not divided amongst the shareholders, but carried to the proper accounts for en larging and repairing the works connected with the un dertaking, which was seconded by Bailie SMITH. Mr. DUGALD BANNATYNE proposed, as an amend ment, that in the mean time the sum be not divided, but carried to suspense account, wnich was seconded. The vote was then taken, and the motion declared carried. The CHAIRMAN further proposed that the sum of 8,2461. 19s. 6d. be divided among the shareholders of the consolidated stock, rateably and proportionably as a di vidend, at the rate of 2i per cent. for the half-yr ar end ing the 31st of J ul y last, payable on the Ist of Novem ber next, without deduction of income-tax, which mo tion Ras seconded and approved. Several other resolutions, such as the approving of the report, the appointment of directors and auditors, were approved, after which the meeting resolved itself into a special meeting. Is was then proposed that the company do now create 55,0001, or shares of new or additional capital, and that the sail new shares or capital be guaranteed at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which motion having been A seconded vote byofthe Chairman. approved. and the meeting adjourned. ,N I then Mthar.nßkrvegaitsT tendered w t o the MANCHESTER, BURTON JU.

By the financial statement it appeared that there had been received the sum of 266,5351., and expended 219.3001., leaving a balance in hand of 47,2351. On moving that the report be adopted, the CHAIRMAN referred to the great expenses which had already been incurred, and the depressed state of railway property owing to various causes, and'then said, it was the intim don of the directors not only to press forward the works upon principles of the most rigid economy, but to lessen every office and other expenditure to the utmost degree. Believing that the directors can carry on the works at a lower rate of expenditure for themselves, they proposed to reduce their own charges one half, so that from June last the directory would be reduced in cost from 1,500/. to 7501. per annum.—(ea) Mr. TOOTAL seconded the motion. In answer to questions put to the Chairman, it ap peared that on the first call, there are 8,0001. in arrears due; a►►d on the second call of 80,0004 there are 21,0001. due. Several shareholders expressed themselves strongly in favour of the directors enforcing payment of the arrears due. The CHAIRMAN said it was the intention of the di rectors to enforce payment where practicable; and per luips it might be satisfactory to the meeting to know that preliminary steps had already been taken, and if the arrears were paid up, - 1/. per sharelnore, would enable the directors to finish the line to Rowsley. The motion for the ittloption of the report . was then carried, also a vote, of thanks to the Chairman and di rectors for their services, and the meeting broke up• RAILWAY BILLS IN THE PAST SESSION OF PARLIAMENT.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRTAGE.—At the Court 41 Record, Salford, on Tuesday night, the last case taken was that of " Spencer v. Leary, for breach of promise of marriage. The parties reside at Roch dale, and are both rather young. The plaintiff (Mi ss Margaret Spencer), according to the statement of Mr. Monk, is a dressmaker; and about two years and a half ago the defendant, Mr. Abraham Leary, the son of an ironfounder doing a respectable business, began to pay • his addresses to her, and carried matters so far that on the 24th of August, 1847, the wedding bonnets and dresses of the bride intended, and the bridesmaid, had becn purchased, with his approval. The bridesmaid, et his especial request, a cousin to the plaintiff, had come ell the way from Coventry to be present. On the following morning the bridal party awaited the arrival of the defendant to accompany them to church, bat he detained them all day in Va i n . ' an d it was not until ei g ht o'cloc k at night that he arrived to apologise, and throw the blame of di s appointment on his father , who, he said, had p ro mised to set him up in business if he would wait a few months longer b efore he was married. The plain tiff was again led to believe his intentions " ho noura bl e, " and to hide her chagrin went to pass some months at Coventry, during which the defedant continued to write to her, pledging himself to fidelity in the strongest terms. At length, however, he had taken another bride, the temptation, it was supposed, being a dowry of a thousand pounds, and the mode which he chose of an nouncing his marriage t o the plaintiff was by sending the wedding cards and a pair of gloves to her. wh can b T h h damages be were laid at 501„ b e i ng the utmost amount proceeded for in this court. Both the lady and gettle man were present, and it was given in evidence that the defendant h a d offered 30/and Mr. taxed costs. Sowler, for the defen ce , did not deny the promise, but pleaded, in mitigation of damages, the youth and inexperience of his client. The jury almost immediately found for the plaihtiff, damages 50/., a verdict which appeared to give satisfaction, especially to a great number of ladies in the court. FOREIGN REFINED SUGAR.—Several large arrivals of refined sugar have lately taken place from Belgium, consigned to foreign firms in this metropolis. APPREHENSION OF CHARTISTS AT ASHTON.— Seventeen of the Chartists apprehended at Ashton, on Wednesday, on being taken before the magistrates, were committed to the assizes for conspiracy. The remainder were remanded till that day week. ,11ec •tistA, ors in thout four mono/ ----.... 1-hilif Iptail l f old dy of f tb° )11 01# 3811 1 4 I the .--- 1 W• len,' Wit ISO I.
