M One half the world are desolately single, and the other I l PPosing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea DC caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un- Doudprosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, suit broken health, arc the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demaed that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er Neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

BY SAMUEL Lit.'MERT, M.D., 9, BEDFORD-STREET, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. bOetOr of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, foc. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order Mutt it may b e really the cause of mutual happiness. Coald the "ell , which covers the origin of dome stic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source is every instance disclosed, in how many could itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap- Pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when Used to moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, w hen abused, the wattle source of mischief .and of g reater or less injury to the constitutional and vital inwers. The particular excesses, on She aatitre and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, Elan any other to which it is subject. This work contains au 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 atteation and study, for what subject cal De of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It nnfortanstely kennel]: that the unhappy Heti= et excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired la early life or from the follies of advanced age, while su ff ering from their invariable conseqneaces, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a saalifled physician for relief. Shame and the dread so ,_ e matteatly, but erroneously entertained that th e se complaints are l'eroad the roach of art, alike restrict ilia and. prevent his seeking lot assistance where alone it can be procured. In actin g thus, he , i t orgets that accurate dise rimiaationi a ascer taining the sass es of sYmpathy with the sufferer, and, abets all, secrecy, Inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, an d t o th e medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pussulte, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. k'AIERT has obtained the hig hest medical honours, as his diplomas ee rlll3', and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee fir his professional experience, which has reference almost 66151 3 to the treatment of these diseases.

The polling, continued on Thursday evening until six o'clock, on the question of the dividend, was resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and concluded at two. At three o'clock the proprietors met by adjournment, when the Chairman announced the numbers to be — For the dividend of 3i per cent. on the half-year 3,340 For „ „ 4 per cent 1,211 Majority for the directors' propositton 2,129 The reduced dividend was accordingly declared pay able on the Ist of March. The announcement was re ceived with applause. The directors retiring by rotation were re• elected, and auditors for the half.year were appointed. The usual routine business of the half-yearly meeting having been gone through with much cordiality, Lord ABINGER moved, and Mr. STAMFORD seconded, in highly complimentary speeches, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was unanimously agreed to. In answer to questions relating to the excess of the expenditure over the original estimates, in the case of the Berks and Hants line (which led to prolonged con versations), the engineer, Mr. Brunel, gave explanations which were received with express satisfaction by the meeting. As far as the original plan for that lino was con cerned, there had been really no excess over the original estimates. The increased expenditure was owing to the necessary extension of this branch hue beyond the ori ginal df:sign, the Parliamentary opposition, and the unforseen rise in the value of land since the project was undertaken. Similar explanations took place respecting the South Wales Railway, the works of which were stated by Mr. Brunel, to extend pretty nearly over the whole length of the line, and to be about half completed. After much discursive conversation on various affairs of the company in detail, the meeting separated. ELECTION COMMITTEES. KINSALE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Bridget Heck)) , stated that she was a servant, in the service of Mr. Murphy, of Kinsale. She remembered that shortly after the last election Dr. Jago called upon her master and paid him some money. She believed that it was for voting against Mr. Watson. The witness was proceeding to state in cross-examination that her master was greatly reduced in his circumstances, or he would not have voted against his own prin ciples. A question was was then put to the witness, as to whether she did not remember the priest saying something about the election shortly before it took place, but before she had time to answer she fainted away. Mr. A. B. C•CYIRANF interrupted the proceedings, remarking that the fainting of the witness was preceded by a severe glance that an individual standing in the crowd had cast towards her upon the question being put. It had already been intimated that the individual was the Roman Catholic priest stationed at Kinsale, and if he did not immediately retire without further intimidating the witnesses by his looks and gestures, the Honourable Member hinted that he should feel it to be his duty to move that he be taken into custody. Mr. CRIPPS and Sir J. IWTAGGART, two other Mem bers of the Committee, said they had remarked the con duct of the priest, and concurred in what had fallen from Mr. Cochrane. A stern-featured personage, who appeared to apply these observations to himself, slunk out of the room, and the proceedings were resumed. Several witnesses deposed to having had money offered to them to refrain from voting. The Committee then adjourned. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The provision which this fund: enables all parties engaged in the honourable but pre•• carious employment of the counting-house to make both: for themselves and relatives is so fully demonstrated by• what has been already accomplished, that we need mot; do more than urge every clerk in the United Kingdom to make himself fully acquainted with the objects of the association, and, without' relay, subscribe his annual, mite. Attention has beer alraz , st •universally directed this. 'nierning to the consideration of the Budget, although the impatience of many of our City men would not allow them to wait, and consequently they availed themselves last evening of the opportunity afforded by the publication of four editions of The Sun to ascertain what had taken place in Parliament. To day they have opportunity for reflection, and much as the means of augmenting the revenue are dis liked, property, not income being considered the legitimate object of taxation, it is considered to be upon the whole satisfactory, that the deficit last year, leaving out of calculation the extraordinary items of expenditure for Ireland, &c., should have not been larger. Furthermore, the intention not to resort to a new loan, or a funding, is regarded as a step in the right direction. We have had enough of temporary ex pedients which end in imposing permanent burdens. The Public Securities have been fluctuating, and have fallen since the commencement of business. There seems to be a doubt whether Ministers can carry their new plan of taxation. Consols, from 89k, have been down to 891, and are now 89i for transfer on Tues day.

Several witnesses gave similar testimony, and the Committee adjourned. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Feb. 18.) SUGAR.—To-day the home trade were more inclined to operate in Raw Sugar; merchants also manifested more firmness, and less freely supplied the market. Oa the part of exporters, however, little disposition was shown to do business. Of West India Muscovado the private sales were 130 hhds and tres, whilst the rates ob tained are equal to those that existed previously; re finers as well as grocers showing more desire to operate. The total sales for the week are 1,010 hhds and trcs. The market for raw sugar closes with a firm aspect. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were dealt in with more freedom by the home trade, Standard lumps at 545, and brown grocery 53s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted at former rates. MA.URITIUL—This afternoon there was more inclina- tion shown to make purchases in Mauritius Sugar. At public sale three parcels amounting to 5,788 bags, 353 casks, and 12 barrels were offered, consisting chiefly of good and fine yellow sorts. The whole sold, and at fully former rates. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon two parcels Bengal Sugar, amounting to 2,931 bags, were offered at public sale, but a small part only found buyers at full rates: — Bemires, very fine white at 47s 6d, fine 45s to 46s 6d, good 44s to 45s 6d, middling 41s 6d to 425, damped and washed 40s 6d to 47s ; 1,266 bags consisted of low brown, and were taken in at 29s per cwt for sound. Fonmarg.—To-day full rates are asked for all sorts of Foreign Sugar, and none was offered at public sale. The private operations for the week are 300 hhds Cuba Muscovado at 38s to 395, and 200 cases of brown and yellow Bahia 35s to 38s per cwt. COFFEE. —This afternoon holders of Native Ceylon were more inclined to realise, and 900 bags at auction sold is per cwt under former rates, really good ord bold went at 34s to 34s 6d, damaged 30s 6d to 33s 6d, triage 295. The market is quiet for Plantation, and prices are looking down. 200 bags at public sale were sold, low middling 48s 6d, fine fine 43s to 455, fine ordinary 395, good ordinary 35s 6d, pea berry 48s, and damaged 34s to 36s per cwt. The total sales of Padang by private treaty are 3,000 bags for the week at 27s 6d. TEA.—To-day the public sales were brought to a conclusion; the trade again operated with reluctance in all sorts of Tea, and in some cases the rates taken were rather under those of yesterday. Of the total quantity offered, amounting to 16,300, only 6,900 pkgs were actually sold upon the following terms:—Congou, fair common at 8d to 8, 3 ,d, middling 9d to Sid, good 101 d to is, fine is 21c1 to is 2W. Souchong, good 1 lid to is lid, Caper, in boxes, scented is 0 : ;(1 to 4-Id, Orange Pekoe, scented to 11:1, in catty boxes Is 6d to is 64d,Twankay, common Sd, fine 10d to 1 qd, Hyson ordinary is 4d to is 4jd, fair is 6id to Is fine 3s 3id, Young Hyson, ordinary Canton Sd to Is Oid, good and fine is 34d to 2s 4;(1, Imperial Canton 10d to is Od, good and fine Hyson sort is 41d to 2s 31-,d, ordinary is 2d, Gunpowder ordinary to fine Is 9d to 4s, and Canton is to is 6id per lb. SPICES.--A favourable opinion is yet entertained to wards Pimento, supplies are moderate, and the demand haring been active this week, we have to announce r further rise in the value of id per lb. The parcels offered at public sale were all sold, and amounted to 463 bags. By private treaty several parcels have been taken, and the stock here is nearly all in second hands. There is a falling off in the supply of Black Pepper at market this week, and having a good demand privately, prices tend upwards. White is wanted, but not much is to be obtained. In Nutmegs the sales made privately are upon a more extended scale, and holders display firm ness. None has been offered at auction. Mace sells more readily, and at stiffer rates. For Cloves the demand is getting brisker, but prices re main much the same as previously current, although there is a falling of in the supply. Cassia Lignea has been little sought after, but as the supply at market is small, buyers are compelled to pay 62s to 725, according to quality. A large parcel will, however, be de clared for public sale shortly. Cassia Buds are scarce, and held for the high rates of 93s to 1005, but there are few buyers. For Cinnamon better prices are not to be obtained; a fair demand, however, has been experienced this week, but supplies are good. Ginger met with little attention this week from exporters or the home trade, and holders ex. perience difficulty in getting former rates. SALTPETRE.—ThO market for rough has a dull ap pearance, and 2,455 bags of Calcutta at public sale to day were all taken in 6d per cwt. under former rates, good strong grey small crystal hi to 44 per cent. refrac tico at 30s, middling ditto 11 per cent. 295, 13i ditto 28s 6d, not refracted 28s; the damaged, however, sold at 24s to 27s 6d per cwt. SPIRITS. Prices cannot be quoted higher for Jamaica Rum, but there has been a brisker demand, chiefly from the home trade. The sales for the week are 200 puns, fair quality 27 to 33 per cent overproof at 3s 8d to 3s 10d, middling and good middling 34 to 36 over 3s lld to 4s, good and fine 30 to 33 over 4s 2d to 4s 4d. Leeward Island is in good demand at the former value, and the sales are 250 puns at Is 8d to is 9d proof. In East India the sales are upon rather a more extended scale. On the part of holders of Demerara there is firmness, and buyers operate more freely, paying 2s 10d to 3s 4d for 28 to 36 per cent over proof. Brandy is in fair demand, and last week's rates are well sup ported. The deliveries are good, and arrivals keep small. Geneva sells slowly at 2s 3d to 2s 4d for ordi nary, and at 38 to 3s 4d for fine. The value of British Corn Spirits is 103 per gallon net cash. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—THE GREAT POPULARITY OF HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS IN THE WEST IN DIES IN THE CURE OF ALL SKIN DISEASES.—A young gentleman, residing in St. Kitt's, was afflicted with a most distressing skin disease, termed " the Shingles." He had the best medical advice that could be obtained in the island, but finding that he derived no benefit from their treatment, he -determined on having recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which had a most grati- 1 fying effect, for in a very limited period these invaluable remedies completely cured him. Mr. T. C. Cable, of St. Kitt's, vouches for the accuracy of this statement.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish ! ment, 244, Strand, London.

NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSTREVOR RAILWAY. The fourth ordinary general meeting of the shave holders of this company took place yesterday at the com pany's offices, Moorgate- street. Lord Newry took the chair at half-past one o'clock. The usual preliminary proceedings having taken place, the Secretary read the following report of the directors: " The balance-sheet of this company to the Ist inst., exhibiting the state of accounts to that date duly audited, is ro.v submitted to the proprietors. " The directors subjoin the report of the company's engineer, by which it will be seen that the works have been progressing satisfactorily, and with as much expe dition as the means at the disposal of the directors would admit of. The circumstances of the times, however, have operated to delay in many cases the payment of the calls, which is to be regretted, as necessarily retarding the period of opening the line. " The directors have availed themselves of the recent important reduction in the price of iron, and have pur chased the rails necessary for a single line, which are now in course of delivery at the works. Thus, so far as it rests with the directors, every provision has been made for opening the line to Warrenpoint early in the ensuing summer; this object, if attained, would secure a prompt return to the shareholders upon their whole out lay. It will therefore be understood how materially their interests will be benefited by early payment of the calls in arrear. " The directors announce that half the capital having been paid up, the borrowing powers of the company come now into operation, and this meeting has been made special for obtaining the assent of the proprietors to the exercise of these powers. " In compliance with the Companies' Clauses Con solidation Act, two of the directors will retire from office at the ensuing general meeting, but are eligible for re-election. One of the auditors also retires, and is likewise eligible for re-election." The following is the engineer's report, which was also read:— " The embankments through the slob lands adjoining the Newry River are in a very forward state, aid that portion between the Rampart and Green island, a distance of about one mile, I expect will be closed in the course of a month. I have much satisfaction in stating this fact, as I had been led to anticipate some difficulty in the construction of this portion of the line. " The retaining walls and excava tions through the demesne of Narrow W ater are completed and the public road diverted at this point, as originally intended; the embankments, also, in this neighbourhood are progress ing rapidly, and present no difficulty in their construc tion. " From the arrangements v.hich the contractor bas made with the landholders in the neighbourhood of the line, for procuring the necessary material for the forma tion of the embankments, together with the very efficient working plant on the line, he is in a condition to acce lerate the progress of the works, should the directors deem it expedient to do so." The reports of the directors and also that of the en gineer were adopted unanimously, and ordered to be printed and circulated among the proprietors. From the balance sheet it appeared that the amount of cash in the hands of the bankers of the company was 1,215/. 3s. 10d., and that there was a great arrear in the pay ment of the calls. Several proprietors recommended the enforcement of the payment of the calls by legal means, which the Noble Chairman stilted would be consi dered by the directors. The directors that retired by rotation were re-elected. The auditor was re-appointed. A resolution giving power to the company to borrow a sum of 33,0001. was unanimously agreed to; as was also a resolution giving 5301. to the directors for their services. A resolution was also put and carried, calling upon the directors to press the payment of the calls in arrear, and giving them power, in case of their non-payment, to institute legal proceedings to compel the payment. Thanks were then voted to the Nuble Chairman, and the meeting separated.
