One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em lpittur the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosimg 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 he the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice denitauel that health sheuldform au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bliglated hopes or neglect woend more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but !or the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they arc offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6.1.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor arc 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—ta do unto others as he would he done unto—tc live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the "satiny side of the way."

By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce fen standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.12, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer is London than in HP.raburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per cent. in favour of England. But, the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 6* days' sight, the in terest must be added to the above difference. Woor.wtcu, FEB. 14.

BANKING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA-' HLISHMENT4, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a porth.4l of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at IL per Cent. compound Interest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences. The operations of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries. The leading principles of this Society are 1. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, whether borrowers or not. 9. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member wishing to anticipate his Shares will be entitled at any given period of the Society's existence, with the means •f ascertaining precisely at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value et the Sharet of continuing Members. Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip tions for the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 4/. Per Cent. per annum, will be allowed for the sums so paid. Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period corn. Pound interest at the rate of 61. per Cent. per annum will be allowed upon the sums withdrawn. Shares may be transferred free of stamp ditties. ILY the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at arlY period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have loans advanced to them without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ; arid the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new Members, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of which will he sup plied to ovary member. This is manifestly far preferable to the un equal and objectiostable system usually adopted of putting the shares up to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the largest discount ; by which means the object of the Legislature, Which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the lame advantage, is entirely frustrated. The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the heavy monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car ried into full operation. No Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own Subscriptions. Prospectuses and copies of Rules may be obtained at the office of the Society, 13, Old Broad-street.

Twenty thousand bold mariners—ocean's best gems— Assembled en ina,se on the breast of the Thames. 'Twas astounding to witness the boats and the steamers, The " bonnie blue jackets," the colours and streamers. This aquatic procession would cast in the shade The sights of Queen Bess with her best cavalcade. The scene on the Thames was a scene that must claim A thrill from the heart, bo it ever so tame. And hundreds of thousands of different ranks, Throng'd Thames's broad bridges and mercantile banks. The spectacle seen was essentially one To bring to the mind Messrs. MOSES and SON, As the newly-cla I seamen appeared fore and aft, A moving assemblage in hundreds of craft. The smiling spectator must surely have thought, Of the outfits of MOSES, so skilfully wrought. Ev'ry day at the warehouse of MOSES we view, The sons of the ocean in " jackets of blue," And finding how MOSES and SON can equip, They ne'er feel inclined to " foresake the old ship." The scene on the shore was essentially one To remind the oaserver of MOSEs and SON - , Roth ladies and gentlemen show'd in their dress, A beauty te, rival the days of Queen Fleas And never did Thames on his waters unfold A eight IJ imposing —a movement se bold.

Mr. John Harvey, at one period a banker in Guern sey, but now residing at No. 32, Surrey-street, Strand, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, for further examination on the charge of having stolen a leather case, containing a Bible and Prayer-book, from the Kentish-town parochial chapel. The particulars of what previously transpired ap peared in The Sun of yesterday, and it will be re membered that the inquiry was adjourned for the attendance of the verger and the owner of the property, to insure which summonses were served upon the parties in question. Mr. Humphreys again appeared for the prisoner. William Kentish, the verger, was sworn, and he deposed as follows :—On Saturday afternoon last, at ten minutes past four o'clock, while I was engaged in the chapel in making necessary preparation for service on the next day, the primmer came in and walked about. He looked at many of the monuments, the inscriptions upon which he read, and also expressed his admiration of the painted windows. lie went into pew No. 74, and sat down, and on his coming out of it he went away, wishing me good night. Observing that he had left the pew door open, I went up to shut it, and then found that some prayer and other books, which just before were in their proper places, had been moved, and I immediately missed the leather case now produced. I hastened out, and seeing the prisoner making his way in the direction of Hiirhzate.-I ran after 11;,,, or,rtook him by C raven - p l ace . I sa id to him, "I beg your pardon, sir, but I think you have taken some books from the chapel," to which he replied, " Don't make any piece of work about it, and I'll go back with you." He accompanied me to the chapel, and as I was approaching towards the pew door, he being just behind me, I heard something fall down by the free seats. I looked round and picked up the case at a distance of from 12 to 14 yards from the pew. I said to him " You had the books," when he directly turned round and walked out of the building. As soon as he had got through the churchyard he ran very fast, and I followed him, crying " Stop thief!" Ile then ceased running, upon which I laid hold of him, took him back to the chapel, and gave him into the custody of Police-sergeant Sibsey, 16 S. He said he was very sorry for what he had done, he knew not what could have possessed him, and that if he might be allowed to go he would deposit any amount in the charity-box at the door. The case and books were identified by Mr. Bulmer Brecknock-cottage, Camden-town; the cost of the articles was 275. The prisoner, whose legal adviser declined in the present stage of the matter to offer any defence, stands committed for trial, but will be brought up again to-day (Wednesday), when the depositions taken will be completed, and the several witnesses bound orer to appear at the session.

Stephen Brown, Michael Garmon, James Hughes, and Thomas Coyle, whose ages varied from 10 to 14 years, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold; charged with numerous acts of robbery, and Emma Galloway, a coarse-featured masculine-looking woman, was charged with inciting them to the coin mission of the offence, and receiving the property well knowing it to have been stolen. About a week since the prisoner Brown suddenly absconded from the house of his parents, who were described as honest hardworking people, and, after an anxious and incessant search for him, they at length obtained information that he was harboured, with several other boys at the house of the woman Gallo way, in Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields. In formation of this was given to a constable named Grady, who at one o'clock on the preceding day ab ruptly entered an apartment on the first floor, and there discovered the female prisoner presiding at the head of a table, round which the younger prisoners were seated, and in the centre of which was placed a heterogeneous collection of articles, consisting of new sugar basins, saltcellars, a flower-vase, and other property, all evidently the produce of recent rob beries. A piece of meat was cooking before the fire, and a peice corresponding to it was deposited upon an adjoining shelf, and upon further search a long brass-mounted whip was discovered secreted beneath the bed. On calling upon them to account for tho pssession of this property, one of the boys at once acknowledged that the whole of it had been stolen within two days from various shops by the juvenile members of the gang, and that the meat which was then being dressed for their dinner had being purloined that very morning from a neigh bouring butcher. This statement the woman Gal loway positively denied, and having declared that the property had been brought to her house by the boys without her privity or sanction, and that they had only got there a few minutes before the officers appearance, the whole of them were taken into custody. In answer to this a lad named William Brown, brother to the prisoner of that name, was called and stated, that the other boys had been in the habit of calling for so me ti me past at t h e h ouse o f hi s parents sfor his brother, who was constantly associat ing with them, and he knew that whatever articles the boys stole were always carried to ,the house of the woman Galloway for sale. Missing his brother on the preceding day he went out in search of him, and while so doing was rapidly passed by one of the other boys, who had something wrapped up in a handkerchief, and who ran into the prisoner Galloway's house with it. Fearing his brother might be there he immediately followed the boy into the woman's room, and there also found the prisoner Gannon, who had likewise just entered. A knock then came at the door, which he went down to open, and his brother, Hughes, and Coyle rushed past him up the stairs, and upon' his again entering the woman's room he found some stockings, the meat, flower-vase, and other articles deposited upon the table, and all which must have been just then brought in by the boys, as he could positively state that none of them were there when he went down to admit them. Alderman, the gaoler, stated that two of the pri soners, llughes and Gannon, had been repeatedly in custody, and summarily convicted lOr similar rob beries, Hughes rot having been out of gaol upon the last conviction more than a fortnight, and that he felt quite certain that Garmon had been committed and sent for trial. Upon being called on for their defence, the younger prisoners declined offering any, and the woman Gal loway repeated the statement she had already made to the constable before being taken into custody. Mr. ARNOLD directed the child Coyle, who was scarcely 10 years of age, to be delivered up to his mother, a poor widow, in Finsbury-market, but com mitted all the others for re-examination, to enable the police, if possible, to ascertain and procure the per sons from whom the property produced had been stolen. THE lIIURDER BY HIGHWAY NIEN. The unfortunate man, named William Whyatt, who was shot on Frid a y near Adli ng t on , in Lanaashire, by a robber whom ho h a d j ust capture d, died on Saturday morning. The inquest upon his body was held on Monday, at the Rising Hart, Pott Shrigley, before Mr. Roscoe, of Knutsford, coroner for the district. The fol lowing are the particulars of the evidence : James Emil! having been sworn said—l live at Mac clesfield, and am a s h op k eeper . I was a t the Unicorn public-house at H o lli ngwort h- sm i t hy, Adlington, on Friday last. I go t t h ere a b out a quar ter -past three o'clock in th e a f ternoon, on my way t o Macclesfield. There was no c om p any t h ere except t h e landlord. I remained there a b out ten m i nutes or a q uarter of an hour. I then proceeded to walk along the turnpike road towards Macclesfield. There was no one with me. When I got up to the small Watch-wood planta tion, about 300 yards from the public house, I saw two men in the act of getting over a gate at the further end of the wood into the turnpike road. They walked close behind upwards of a quarter of a quarter of a mile without either of them speaking to me. I then heard a quick step, and one of them came came directly in front of me. He took hold of me by the breast, tearing my waistcoat and shirt, and said, " D—n your eyes, give up your purse and your watch this minute, or you are a dead man." At the same moment he presented a horse-pistol just in front of my eyes. The other man, who had also come up, presented a pistol to my left ear. He said, "D—n you, I'll blow your head off." I did not at first believe they were serious, but perceiving the?, they were, I told them that they would have a tougher jet. than they thousht. a;. h. rd , and I prepared to resist. The little man who had presented the pistol to my ear then knocked me down. They both kicked me several times ,while I was on the ground about the head. I got up again, and the pistols were again presented at me by both the men, the action being again accompanied by threats. I told them I would not give up my property, and they knocked me down again. The same thing was repeated, and I was knocked down in all five times. During the attack upon me I screamed out and called loudly for assistance. A Mr. Hordern came up, and got to within ten yards of us. At this time we were all in the ditch together. On see ing him the men got up and began to walk away. Mr. Hordern and I followed them and they held the pistols towards us, threatening to shoot us. We had not seen then any one else. When we got up to Stanhope's yard, there was a young man and some railway men who had seen the whole affray, who came up to us, upon which the two men ran away, and we pursued.—(Mr. Legh here stated that the spot was not more than forty yards from the railway.) I was too much exhausted to go far myself, and I was not present when they were captured. They were taken, and I saw them the same evening at Adlington Hall, in the custody of Mr. Williamson, special high-constable of Macclesfield. I am quite certain that the two men I saw in his custody are the same who made the attack upon me. I was not aware till an hour after that I had been robbed. Matthew Mitchell, a young man, a labourer, said that about twenty minutes to four o'clock on Friday after noon he was at work on the railway at Addington, when be heard a man shouting on the highway for assistance. He immediately ran towards the spot, and saw three men, one of whom was the last witness ; the others he did not know. The two had something bright in their hands. Witness was about 150 yards from them when he first started. The two men ran away. Witness stayed with Mr. Ernill ; heard from him a brief account of the matter and set off in pursuit. A great many per sons joined also in pursuit. _Followed them out of Adlington in Shrigley. William Whyatt was amongst the pursuers. The pursuit lasted about an hour and a quarter. Witness came up with them at Blakley-wood in Pott Shrigley. The two men were together when witness came up with him. Each had a brace of pistols in his hands. William Whyatt was just before witness making towards the robbers. The taller of the two men (Bates) fired a pistol, and William Whyatt instantly fell. Almost at the same instant the shorter man (Walmsley) fired a pistol at Thomas Whyatt and wounded him in the arm. The little man then ran away and was fol lowed by John Hunt, who took hold of his coat laps, and they both fell down together. The little man then fired another pistol, and others corning up both he and the other were secured. Witness saw William Whyatt carried off. Thomas Whyatt was able to walk away. Witness was at Adlington Hall the same night. Did not hear the names of the prisoners, and not know them, but can swear to them. Did not hear of anything being said on either side before the tall man fired. James Bowes, one of the Cheshire constabulary force, said he received the prisoner Walmsley from some men, and also two pistols, a powder-flask, and some cotton wadding, which had been found upoa him. He said at first that his name was John Redden s but when both prisoners w . a W i lasal.er . Adlington Half, Bates said that his name was John Walmsley. Walmsley made no reply. The pistols were very large ones, the barrels being about nine inches long. Witness also found eight percussion caps upon Walmsley. [The witness pro duced a steel chain, two gold seals, and two keys, which he said were found upon Bates, but the Coroner did not think it necessary to go into that.,) Edward Newbold, surgeon, stated that about six o'clock on Friday evening he was sent for to see the deceased, who was lying at the house of a person named Wainwright, at Pott Shrigley. Gut there about seven o'clock. Drs. Harrison and Vaux were there when witness arrived. Found a wound like a bullet wound on the fore part of the abdomen, about three inches above the navel. A ball had been extracted before witness got there by Dr. Harrison. Attended the deceased till the time of his death, which took place on,Saturday morning about a quarter to eleven o'clock. Made a post ',torten* examination yesterday, assisted by Dr. Vaux. The external appearances were those of a very stout, able-bodied, healthy man. On opening the abdomen witness traced the ball from the external orifice. Found that it had passed obliquely downwards and backwards underneath the integuments, fascia, and muscles, perforating the peritoneum and entering the cavity of the abdomen, penetrating the omentum, pene trating also the small intestines, from which some of the contents had escaped into the cavity ; then passing through the colon, giving vent also to some of its con tents. It then escaped from the abdomen, passing c ompletely through the hip bone, and ultimately lodged under the skin of the thigh, It only required a slight incision to enable De. Harrison to extract the ball. Witness had no doubt whatever that the death of the deceased was occasioned by the wound from the ball. The CORONER then said there were a great many circumstances connected with the case which it was not at all necessary to inquire into, since it appeared to him that the cause of death was very clearly proved, and that was what they a- h a met to inquire into. Still, if th e jury required any further evidence, the witnesses should be called. The law, too, was too well known to the jury to need many remarks from him. He would only observe that it was either a murder or nothing. There was only one point which he wished to explain to them, and that was , that wh en two or more were en gaged in a common design, and death ensued in conse quence of that design, through the act of only one of they were all equally them, guilty. So that in the case of these two men, Walmsley and Bates, the intention of bot h w as sufficiently evident, and both were equally guilty. The Jury without any deliberation returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against J o h n W almsley and William B a tes." The inquiry lasted rather more than two hours. The deceased William Whyatt has left a wife and seven children, the youngest of which was only born last Monday. Thomas Whyatt is said to be going on favourably.

THE BRITISH AND NORTH :AMERICAN ROYAL MAIL STEAM-SHIPS.—The British and North American line may now be said to be the only successful line of ocean steamers yet organized. The English established 1 , a line, and sunk a great deal of money in it between London and New York, of which the British Queen and the President were the principal boats. Another line was established between Bristol and New York, which, with the exception of the Great Western, also turned out a failure, like that of the London line. The French, more recently, attempted the same thing between Havre and New York, which has met with some disasters, and also turned out a similar failure. Even the American line between this city and Bremen must be admitted now to be a failure, for the first vessel, the Washington, appears to be entirely unfit for steam navigation, al though she may be very beautiful in other respects. We have had, therefore, two English, one French, and one American line of ocean steamers, all failures. None seem to have succeeded but the Liverpool line, composed of vessels built on the Clyde, with engines constructed in Glasgow. The Scotch line, as it may be distinctly called, is the only line that has succeeded permanently on the Atlantic. The blinders, errors, and miscalcula tions of the English, French, and American lines, would fill columns. On the other hand, the prudence, caution, skill, and enterprise of the British and North American Royal Mail line, stand out aloof, and must be admitted by all.—New York Herald. VOLUNTEERS.—A number of gentlemen in London have resolved to form themselves into a regiment, to be termed "The Queen's Own Volunteer Rifle Corps." The number at present proposed is 600, but p ro b a b iv it will be materially increased after it is fully known to - the public. The parties who have taken the lead in this movement have received every encouragement f rom t h e Government, and will have the ir arms and am mun i t i on supplied them. The uniform will be dark green, with black braiding, bronze ornaments, and a light cap. A commanding officer has been appointed and approved of, and the captains of companies and subalterns will be chic by the gentlemen foaming the corp. BIRTHS IS THE WEER.

There was a larger choice of samples at Sid to sid per lb. Railway Shares were steady, but not brisk. The foreign accounts received by the continental mails are received as being in some respects more favourable; and there is importance attached to the declaration made last night in Parliament by Lord Palmerston, that a good understanding prevails between England and Austria. Public feeling is influenced now by the events of Italy to so great an extent, that any assurance of the kind is well-timed. The state of matters at Paris, how ever, is not so assuring, as the Reform banquet appears to be persevered in, despite the alleged differences in the ranks of the Opposition.

It appears that the un fortunate woman, who is the mother of seven young children, had been ailing for some time past- She re tired to rest on Saturday night with her husband shortly before twelve o'clock, and he held a conversation with her as late as three o'clock yesterday morning, when she complained of sickness. Shortly before seven o'clock deceased's eldest girl, about 14 years of age, on entering her parent's bed-room was astonished to find her mother absent, although her clothes were lying by the bedside. She awoke her father, who appeared equally astonished at the absence of his wife, whom he had not until that moment missed from his side. The back garden of the house extends to the banks of the Regent's Carel, and the footmarks of a female without shoes or stockings were clearly traced to the water edge, and the shallow water enabled them to perceive something lying at the bottom of the canal. An alarm was given and police-constable 358 S, assisted by a man named Geor ge Heate, succeeded in recovering the body, which proved to be that of the unfor tunate mother, attired merely in her night clothes. She bad been dead some hours, and the body was conveyed to St. Pancras Workho use , w h ere it awaits a coronr's inquest. The deceased and her husband were, it is stated, upo n good term s w i t h eac h other, and no cause can be assigned for the perpetration of so determined and so rash an act. MURDER IN BIRAIINGHAIC—BIRMIN GIIANI , THEE DAY,—Last night a woman named Hallen , about forty five years of age, was murdered here under the follow ing circumstances :—She was the wife of a travelling chiropodist, wh o . lodged with h er a t t h e Wi n d en T avern public-house, in Lower Winde n - s t ree t, an d it seems th a t yesterday morning he left home for the purpose of going into the country for a f ew d ays ; t h e d ecease d, accom panied by another woman, afterwards went to various public-houses, and at a house in Stafford-street they met a couple of navvies, w ith w h om th e y conve r se d, Hellen being at that time in a state of intoxication. In the evening she was seen talking to a man in Woodcock street, and words w e r e he a rd as if the pair were quar relling; a few minutes afterwards she was seen to fall and exclaim, "I am killed." Assistance was rendered, and the unfortunate woman taken up bleeding profusely from a small punctured wound in the face. She died directly afterwards. The murderer escaped, and no clue remains likely to lead to his detection. WHITTINGTON CLUB.
