Witri respect to the alleged delusions, it was shown that Mr. Dixon had been greatly annoyed respecting .his late brother's affairs, anti from his nervous irritability and natural hesitation in speaking, had often great difficulty in making himself understood when much excited. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said the objection was entitled to some weight and consideration, but he was of opinion the most advisable course would be for both parties to consent that two authorised physicians by the Court of Chancery should visit Mr. Dixon, and examine him as to the state of his mind, as without some such evidence he should not be disposed to make any order. After much argument and discussion, it was finally ordered by the Learned Baron that Dr. Southey, the Lord Chancel lor's commissioner, and Dr. Alderson, should see all the affidavits to be used, and see and examine Mr. Dixon, and that the matter should stand over until they had made their report, he, the Learned Baron, undertaking to see those gentlemen upon the subject, and also to consider their report and the affidavits, and apprise the parties of his de cision. The case was then ordered to stand over, and the parties withdrew. SECOND SEPTENNIAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.

After the means for flushing sewers and driving their contents into the Thames, it is surely worth considering, until better means be discovered, how the accumulated liquid filth is commingled with the river water and carried away seaward by the tide. Every old " West minster" knows that formerly he could get a drink of clear water over the side of his boat about the latitude of Putney-bridge; but he can't now, nor at a great deal higher up the river. Although by means of improved and increased sewage a much larger quantity of filth, &c., is sent into the Thames, there is not so much mud upon the shores above London-bridge as formerly; and there can bo no doubt that the agitation caused by steam-boats disperses it. Should it not, therefore, be a matter of caution how interference with such boats be made, that their usefulness in a sanitary point of view be not abated. LIE EARL OF WILTON'S NEW YACHT.—This splendid vessel sailed for Cowes on Monday last, between four and five o'clock, A.M. Her burden is 'lOO tons, length 115 feet from figure-head to taffrail ; below she is capacious, and conveniently laid out, her height between decks is ifeet ; she has a large berth forward for the crew, about 20 in num ber, with galley and every convenience for their comfort. No expense seems to have been spared; and her saloons, cabins, bed-places, beds, tables, sideboards, sofas, glasses, lamps, with eve r y poss ib le requisite, are exceedingly, hand some. Her mainmast is 80 feet, and her foremast 78 feet in length ; they were only obtainable in the London river. Her sails are proportionally large, containing about 5,000 yards of canvas.—.Dernhport Telegraph. Arrangements are snaking by the West-end bankers to close at foil; &lock instead of five o'clock, from the Ist of ; October. The Bank of England and City bankers have done so since May last. AN INTREPID ACT.—On Tuesday evening a young lad, while endeavouring to walk on the edge of a coal barge moored over a deep spot in the canal at Neath, fell through the narrow space between the bank and the barge, where he clung for a few moments, and then sunk beneath the barge. An intrepid man, named Anthony Williams, a glazier, who stood on the opposite side of the canal, on learning the situa tion of the lad, plunged into the canal, and on arriving at the side of the boat, dived beneath it, and finally secured and brought up the body, which was afterwards restored to life, much to the joy of his parents, who are too poor, however, to express their gratitude in the manner such conduct deserves. --Cambrian. AN INFURIATED Ox.—On Monday, about three o'clock in the afternoon, an ox of the Highland breed, overdriven and excited, broke from its drover in the neighbourhood of Newport Market, and atter causing great alarm in Long-acre and Great Queen-street, found its way into Lincoln's-inn-square. Here an attempt was made to stop its progress by a number of butcher bop, a crowd of spectators lending their aid, and rather in creasing by their occasional advance and retreat the fury of the animal. The poor beast, after surveying its opponents for a few moments, made a sudden rush upon the crowd in the direction of Stone-buildings. In sa instant the spectators were flying in every direction. The first person attacked by the animal was the porter of Lincoln's. inn Hall, but he having had the presence of mind to close the iron gates escaped injury, the ox merely butting the iron rails with great force. A gentleman named Marrett, resident in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and who was entering the square from Stone-buildings, was not so fortunate. The animal, defeated in its attack on the porter, rushed upon this gentleman, who appeared paralysed by its approach, and stood with his back against the iron railings. The ox rushed upon him and butted him with great violence, one of the animal's horns entering his left temple. He immediately fell senseless. The animal then passed into Stone-buildings, where some unsuccessful attempts were made to secure it by means of ropes. Mr. Marrett was at once picked up and conveyed in a perfectly senseless state to King's College Hospital, where, by a singular coincidence, he was re cognised by Mr. Sedgwick, the house surgeon, as an old schoolfellow. The ox again escaping, passed through Chancery-lane, and ran down Holborn in the direction of Smithfield, seriously injuring several persons, and causing the greatest alarm. At length, after passing through several droves of ,cattle, it fortunately entered Fox and Knot-yard, a locality abounding in slaughter houses, and leaping over an iron bar imprisoned itself in a narrow court, where by means of ropes let down from the roofs of the houses, it was eventually secured and slaughtered. SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CHATUAII.—A grand mi litary display will take place on Friday next, on which occasion the whole of the troops of this garrison will take part in the operations. The Royal sappers and miners, with the Hon. East India Company's sappers, are work ing night and day, erecting field batteries for heavy guns, and approaches necessary for storming a redoubt upon Il i large scale, similar to those redoubts that the Duke of Wellington caused to be erected at Torres Ved ras a g ainst the French army. It is expected that 6,000 men will foe under arms. The siege will be the most extensive that has ever yet been witnessed in this country, as the works stand over several acres of ground.— Cante bury Journal. ~~L [PRICE SD. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales were 4,000 bales, of which 3,000 were American for exportation. The market closed heavily. Railway shares were without alteration, though prices still had a downward tendency. It seems to be understood in banking circles that there is at the present time scarcely any possibility of forming an opinion as to the future position of the money mar ket, and consequently that the utmost circumspection will be necessary for some time to come in all transac tions where credit is involved. The general impresbion is, and we trust well founded, that happen what may. England will be preserved from the danger and the cost of a continental war ; while upon the subject of the weather there are hopes that even the intervals of sunshine and warm winds may prove sufficient to allow of the harvest being secured in tolerably good condition. That it will be an abundant yield is hardly to be anticipated. There will be much attention directed to the state of the Bank of England account, because of the apprehension that there may be a steady decline in the bullion. It is too soon, however, to look for a heavy drain in the direction of the Continent, though a gra dual decrease of the precious metals is to bo anti cipated, as orders for grain have been sent abroad more freely within the last few days; and there has been some amount of specie forwarded to Germany, and, 113 is supposed, for the service of Austria. The grain market is firm to-day,:with a moderate business doing. The accounts from the River Plate are exciting almost daily the complaints of every merchant here con nected with the trade, once so important, of that part of the world, and there is a growing and most anxious desire that our Government should use every exertion to bring the matter to an issue. Hitherto there has been nothing gained on our part of all the objects contemplated, nor is there apparently any probability of success. Either the blockade will have to be abandoned, and even in a national point of view it has proved onerous to us, or the war must be vigorously prosecuted. How far John Bull would relish the idea of a contest for the sake of a South American republic, of which he scarcely knows the name, remains to be proved.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea rf caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cornprosin hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, ana broken health, a•e the great hindrances to domestic happiness wad social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item in the compact ; tt alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

BY SAMUEL LA'aIERT, 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, Asc. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order hat it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the cell, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how mauy could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which whets aced 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 consequence of which 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 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 and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy .ictim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early the or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying, to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so rrequently, but erroneously 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 tisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse , sion of the requisite legal lualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. La.'aiEßT 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 experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. JUDGES' CHAMBER.:S 7 , — Sergeunt'slun, Aug. 7. (Before Mr. Baron Aranin.soN.) IN THE MATTER OF GEORGE WILLIAM DIXON, AN ALLEGED LUNATIC, EX PARTE THE BED. SIR GEORGE ?ItEVOST, BART.—ALLEGED ILLEGAL DETENTION 41F A RETIRED OFFICER AS A LUNATIC AT BATH. e e i e t r yof Asylum,oe n g b i a e e h e a nr l se f a at o r f Bi: pre sentli sr g e ce( Al le i r eha e a d a il L n D u Lunatics' x a o t e r i n c t 1 0, In this case an application had been made at the instance O re d itired L u So t ili( i j a cc t i tol, before the Learned Baron, for a writ of habeas corpus, G of eo th r directed to Dr. Henry Hawes Fox, the keeper of such asylum, to bring up the alleged lunatic, and return the authority and cause of his detention, to ground an appli cation for his discharge, on the ground that the medical certi ficates upon which he was confined were improperly obtained, and were not in accordance with the provisions of the Act of i' - and 9 Viet.; - c. 100. The affidavits in support, of. the appliiatiori stated that the alleged' lunatic, who is it single gentlenian, about 48 years of age, and in • possesaien of "an income of about 3001. per annum, had• resided for the last six years in the same lodgings, at No. 4, North-parade, Bath, and that during the whole of that time he had conducted himself with the greatest propriety, and always appeared fully competent to manage te his affairs, settling and paying his accounts with , ohf June last most per fect clearness ; but in the month it became necessary that he should move from those lodg ings, Owing to some necessary repairs, and his cousin,b, near the Rev. Sir George Prevost, Bart., vicar of Stinclichom Duraley, was written to on the sub j ect, upon which he shortly afterwards visited Mr. Dixon, bringing with him Dr. Watson, a physician ; and without any conununication, either to Mr. Dixon or Mr. Gray, his landlord, in two days after the interview between Sir George Prevost, Dr. Watson, and Mr. Dixon, a keeper from the Northwoods Lunatic Asylum ap peared with a note from Sir George Prevost, "that the bearer would assist Mr. Dixon to remove to more comfortable lodgings." lie, however, refused to remove, upon which Dr. Watson was sent for, who represented that he had given a certificate that Mr. Dixon was insane, and that was suffi cient authority for his removal. Mr. Dixon, however, re fused to go, and the keeper went away, but returned the fol lowing day with another keeper, and produced an order signed by Sir George Prevost, one of the keepers stating that they had had the night before to send twenty miles for another certificate, and ultimately Mr. Dixon was forcibly removed to the asylum. Information of these circumstances having been forwarded to the Alleged Lunatics' Friend So ciety, their solicitor, Mr. Bolden, proceeded to Bath and Bristol, to inquire into the circumstances attending the case, when the irregularity in the certificates, as required by the statute of b and 9 Vic.. cap. 100, having been discovered, the application for the writ of habeas corpus was made on the 17th July, and granted by Mr. Baron Alderson ; but the irregularity r having on the 15th July been communicated to b . Fox, on the 17th July he wrote to the solicitor, stating that " Mr. Di xon was su ffi c i ently recovered to b e d i sc h arge d, and he was no l onger hi s pat i ent. " M r. Di xon not h av i ng re turned to his lodgings, application was made to Dr. Fox and Sir G. Prevost for his address, but refused; and it then being evident that Mr. Dixon was still kept privately con fined, on the 28th July l ast t h e wr i t of habeas was served on Dr. Fox. The case now came on, on the return to the writ of habeas corpus, from which return it appeared that since the firmer application, only four days before the writ was lodged, Sir George Prevost had signed another order, and obtained two other medical certificates, of Dr. Watson and Dr. Sy monds, upon which the alleged lunatic was now detained in the asylum, having been taken back there on the 25th of July. The delusiuns under which Mr. Dixon is labouring being stated in the certificates, " that voices continually pur sued him in connexion with some legal matters, and that he spoke of having been annoyed by some persons at Bath, to and fro from Kensington, respecting some claims upon his brother's property; that lie allowed himself to be questioned abruptly about has affairs without the slightest emotion, and that his singular hesitancy of speech and self-iteration mani fested imbecility of mind." The return further stated that Mr. Dixon was detained in pursuance of a request from Sir George Prevost, in conformity with the provisions of the statute 8 and 9 Vic., chap. 100. Mr. EDYE appeared in support of the return, and to oppose the application for the discharge of Mr. Dixon, on the part of Sir G. Prevost, and stated that the application had been made under a complete misunderstanding of the whole case, and that the affidavits which he was prepared to produce would sufficiently explain the case, and fully justify the course pursued by Sir George Prevost. Mr. Edye also stated that the former certificate was thus ex plained :—that Dr. Fox's establishment was divided into two parts, his private room and the asylum; that Mr. Dixon was first taken to the privato house, where he was seen by Mr. Do. •'.

It has been ascertained that only three per sons— the brother and sister-in-law of the proprietor, Mr. Luton (not Hatfield, as erroneously stated), and a servant girl —were in the h ouse a t t h e t i me w h en t h e acc id en t was occasioned by a candle being brought into contact with a Volume of gas, which must have been for some days escaping and accumulating in the shop. Mr. Loton and his sister are seriously injured. During yesterday afternoon, Mr. Toplis, the surveyor to the Sun Fire-office, and Mr. Hodgsoll, the assessor of losses, as wall as several eminent surveyors connected with other fire offices, visited the ruins for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of mischief done. The whole of these gentlemen are of opinion that no explosion of similar violence has ever taken place in the metropolis, and it was a matter of asto nishment how so large a quantity of gas as must have accu mulated in the shop could have escaped. groin their inspection we learn that the total number of houses damaged extends to one hundred and three, some of which are totally destroyed, and others are rendered unsafe for habitation. 14% 17% - 5,i ,r.+Yrr+l~' - S V 1i I' 46 25 4 .1.111 • 101 - 13% 11••••• 2% 2$ - 1 1 4 18 - 34!4 .ft ...• 27X 10Wi 81 ' 66% 1236 - - , 4 % :55i 16% 73 2% 14% 21% 1$ SON.
