BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Lie,entiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness. be raised, Ind Its true source in ,every insta ca nce disclosed, in how many could tbe traced to physical disqualifitions and their attendant disap nointments. Excesses are always Injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abnsed .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on she nature and consequence of which this Treatise pro e fesses human name,,late ar e productive of greater se verit y of misery to th 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 of 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, aid of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired la early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering frem their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discriminatidn n ascertaining the causes of with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva disease, sympathY riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hia 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 higbest medical honours, ash is diplomas certify, and the grea t extent of his practice for manyears is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

T 0 MR. - - BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New road, London. The principles of the Ilygeian theory are contained in the follow ing propositions :- 1. The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. a. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. IL Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-- Wally of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the llerbary, High gate for the eillcacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, iu having com pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regonator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle it tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotien of hair in abund ance, ,but as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilt peeling iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure e la answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." 1 In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mane it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant mad curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In wit cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children 's k u ads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has sitz-li a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent conv u l s ions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosia!, flurry ; hut 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.

Let no imaginatively refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered Ely misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining there. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrieal trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, aro a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other tittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Ea t, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance 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 on the " sunny side of the way."

HAYMARKET THEATRE. A version of the pleasing French vaudeville Lavater was produced here last evening for the first time with great success. The playgoing public are already familiar with the plot of the piece. The principal cha racter was admirably sustained by Mr. Webster, who threw an energy into the part which told most effectively. The other characters were excellently sustained (indeed it is seldom that we find a piece of this nature so strongly cast as this was at the Haymarket last evening), and the success of the piece was complete. The house was exceedingly well attended. OLYMPIC THEATRE. Last evening Mr. Davenport and Mrs. Mowitt made their first appearance at this house, in the two leading characters of the Lady of Lyons. As we have already spoken of the relative merits of those performers, it will only be necessary for us to add, that Mr. Davenport enacted the part of Claude Melnotte, with great judg ment and care. His reading of the text, and interpre tation of the character of the love-sick peasant's son, were excellent throughout. Of Mrs. Mowitt we may say the same. Her conception of her part, the daughter of the richest merchant in Lyons, was original. The beautiful language of the author was original, and was not marred by mannerism or unmeaning rant—her de clamation was dignified and natural, pure and silvery. In her hands the deep love of the woman—the transi tions from love to hate, and from hate again to love, deep and ardent, and from happiness to deepest agony, were beautifully and truthfully delineated. Both were well received. The other characters were very well sustained. TEMPLETON'S EN TERTAINNA_ DIARYLEBONE . LITERARY INSTITUTION. Templeton has returned to us after a lengthened ab. sence, and returned to us not only in the full enjoyment of his powers, but with those powers increased. He actually seems to have added to the compass of his voice. Ile appeared last evening at the Mary lebone Literary Institution for the first time sinco his return from America, and gave his entertainment entitled " The Rose, the Thistle, and the Shamrock," being a selection from the songs of England, Ireland, and Scot land. As an interpreter of the delightful melodies of his native land, the Ayrshire minstrel has long been celebrated, and his interpretation of the national music of England (for England has a national music whatever hypercritics may say to the contrary), and of the pathetic melodies of Erin is not less perfect. His per formances of the now nearly forgotten songs, " Old Towler," and " Sally in our Alley," was beautiful ex ceedingly; and we doubt not but that these delightful old ballads will now become as popular as they were in the days of Ineledon. The acting of Templeton in these songs is full of energy and fire. His performance of M.ore's exquisite Irish melodies was beautiful excee" ingly. " The Minstrel Boy," and " They may rail at thi, life," were never more effectively given. The room was crowded, and the audience were rapturous in their applause. TIM THAMES TUNNEL.--FANCY FAlR.—Yester day being the fifth anniversary of the opening of the Thames 'funnel, the day was celebrated by the holding of a "Fancy Fair" within it. The arches and shafts were splendidly decorated with evergreens, flags, ban ners, &c., a fine baud of music promenading through the Tunnel during the day. The number of visitors, in consequence of there being no extra charge for admis sion beyond the usual toll of Id. each person, was very great. The festivities are to be kept up all the week. ARRIVAL OP THE CHINESE JUNK KETING.—This extraordinary vessel, so long expected in this country, arrived yesterday afternoon in the River Thames. The Father Thames, from Sheerness to London, passed her in Sea-reach about one o'clock, in charge of one of the Trinity tug-steamers, and she created much attention as she passed Southend and Leigh. It is understood that she will bring up at the East India Docks or Greenwich.

THE DISCOVERY OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. —Yesterday Lady Franklin issued a notice offering a reward of 2,0001., with a view of inducing any whaling ship which resorts to Davis's Straits or Baffin's Bay to make search for the expedition under the command of Sir John Franklin, respecting whom the greatest anxiety has for some time past been manifested, no tidings having reached England with regard to the pro gress of the expedition or the safety of those who com pose it. Her Ladyship's notice stipulates that search shall be made in those parts which are not in the scope of the expedition sent out by Government, and that the 2,0901. is to be divided as follows :-1,0001. between the owners, captain, officers and crew, of any ship which shall depart from the usual fishing grounds for the pur pose of exploring Prince Regent's inlet, Admiralty inlet, I Jones's sound, or Smith's Sound, providing such :ship, finding the expedition under Sir John Franklin in dis tress, shall make :up - to and afford it relief ; and 1,0004 to be divided amongst the officers, owners, and crew of any s hip which shall at au early period of the whaling season make extra exertion for the above object; and ins the event of discovering the expedition, should such asist ance be required, bring Sir John Franklin and his party to England. Her Ladyship intimates, that in order that there may be no misunderstanding about the re wards, the matter shall be referred to the following gen tlemen, whose decision shall be final, those gentlemen having kindly consented to act as referees in the matter: —Admiral Beaufont, Capt. Sir William Edward Parry, R.N., and Mr. Ward. The stoppage of the Grantham bank of Messrs. Kewney and King was announced yesterday. It was a bank of issue, established in 1812, a nd the fixed limit of its circulation was 19,4011. Its outstanding notes, how ever, according to the last returns, amounted only to 17,382/. Messrs. Barclay and Co. were the London agents, but they sustain no loss. The Lord Bishop of Manchester has appointed Dr. Haggard, of Doctors'-commons, to be Chancellor of that diocese. 310 NE and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QIJARTEI? TO THREE. The Cotton lthrket at Liverpool yesterday was very firm. Sale?, 6,000 bales. In Railway Shares there was no alteration, but a fair business was done. It is stat, d that m‘;ney is still accumulating here in the hands of the bankers, and that privately large sums in spzcie, besides gold and silver plate, are being re ceived from the Continent. Whether this be the case or not, it is certain that there has been a rumour during the last two or three days, that the Bank of England would reduce the minimum rate of discount. We should hardly consider such a measure desirable at the present moment, though the Bank proprietors, with the accumulating and unemployed reserves, may be of a different opinion. The accounts from Belgium are more reassuring. The Bank of Antwerp now discounts 90 days' bills, a sign of renew& d confidence. The following particulars show the favourable pro gress of trade in Canada: — THE REVENUE OF TORONTO, 1847.

In connexion with the import and export trade of the principal lake ports of Canada, the trade in the principal port on this side of Lake Ontario is interesting. The commerce of Oswego is much larger than the public generally have any idea of, and the increase within the last eight years has been unprecedented. There are very few seaports in this country on the Atlantic coast the commerce of which exceeds that of Oswego. In a report upon the state of the dried fruit trade, by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson, we are told that— " The arrival s of Currants since our report of 28th ult. have been 226 butts, 231 carroteels, 310 barrels, and 143 cases, making the total import into London this season down to 23d inst. about 7,900 tons, or 1,300 tons less than to the same date in 1847. Two cargoes have arrived at Liverpool, where the falling off in the impor tation this season has also been considerable. "The clearance for home consumption from 21st ult. to 20th inst. have been 420 tons against 635 tons in the like period of 1847 and 390 tons in 1846. Those, how ever, from Ist January to 20th inst. have reached 1,750 tons against 1,335 tons and 950 tons during the like period of 1847 and 1846. The deliveries of late at Liverpool have been on a par with those of this period of last 3 ear. " In Raisins there is no new feature. "The momentous events which have occurred since the 24th ultitno, in France and Germany, have entirely absorbed the public attention and paralyzed the trade of the country. A succession of unusually unfavourable weather has contributed not a little to the general dul ness. Currants, in common with other articles, have been entirely neglected. There is, however, no alterlition to notice in prices, and it is doubtful whether the whole sale houses would have been induced to purchase freely, even had importers shown a disposition to realise at a reduction The public securities have been very quiet, and rather depressed.
