A story well known as St. Valentine's visit. And knowing 'Lis one that the fair will discuss, I've ventured to give it. The story runs thus: — The Saintship, whose season is now near at hand, Made a call t'other day at St. Martin's-le•Grand ; And every one knew whom it was, by-the-bye, On account of the wink and the leer of his eye. St. Valentine's dress was remarkably smart, And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart. On reaching the principal Post-office pile, St. Valentine entered its doers with a smile, And thus he inquired as a servant drew near, " If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here ?" " Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard, "If so," said St. Valentine, "take him my card." The card and the Clanricarde very soon met, And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget. " You'll conduct him this way," said his Lordship to John, And back came the man with the livery on. I need not describe how the gentlemen met, You're aware that they both understand etiquette. " I've called, my Lord Marquis, and pardon me, pray, C nicerning yourself and St. Valentine's day. Such thousands of love-letters then will be written, By ladies and gentlemen all ever Britain, That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed, In order that business may not be imileded. Your Lordship must know (said the match-ma ing one), That the increase is owing to MOSES and SON. I need not intorm you that love's tender passion Is often awakened by matters of fashion; Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming fire Through east of all noticing Yes, many form - deck in g T e lad y c ga i ve r i p a ,roe ST Y L ISHn e t d ATTI RE. hasTll O Ebe S e E n j and won Bythe SON. For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote, aote. Whofirst learned to love on acc ount The fit was so true, and the style w as Po coat smart, That the fair last her heart through MOSES' famed ed Mart. I knew a ease even stranger than that, Where Patti the pretty was wo T n by A HA. 'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the Hat was so natty. So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ; Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head. THE BOOTS MADE W BY MOSES, hich fit so exact, Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract. And many strange things I have kn ow n come to pass, With atis the same, tood-loo'aing boot and a goo d-lo oking lass. With regard to the oppos ite se o ft e n enkiadies the flame.

Reader, remember, this letter was put Int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of Ne. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this eppor malty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoise, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in 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 te7the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I is. het* U they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair is abund ance, but as a cure et nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume itl far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ,ady of respectability to the abovefact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops en the crown et the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops en year hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most &Coate ladies may use this delightful precinct of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of neveus headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown et the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair en children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials. - .AI - billettorm addressed to William Grimstone, HetbitrT.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD -SQUARE. LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member if the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Ilse. Marriage rewires the fulfilment if several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of amine! happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used 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 particuisr excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise p ro f esses 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 victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from 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 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, h e forgets that accurate discrimination in• ascertaining the causes of msease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the me dical man who can show by his possession 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'UERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ea L: y, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a get atee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

BOTANIC WATER and BEAR'S GREASE. When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only ef fectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above named articles, applied alternately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nou risher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, arid the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate•street, London, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.

Diffidence, or a 32nso of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em sltter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea et caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an ,,ornprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. rhysical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances ti domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not lea the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect weand more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

PRELATIC gave notice that on Thurs day next he should move the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the best means which Groat Bri tain could devise for the final extinction of the African Slave Trade. THE CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION BILL, AND THE BANKRUPT LAWS CONSOLIDA TION BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of these Bills. The Bills proposed to alter to a certain ex tent the law of arrest, and in order to effect that object it would be necessary to repeal six sections of the Act. Ilia desired that the refusal to pay the amount of a bond in judgment should constitute an act of bank ruptcy. if there was any compulsion in the matter, it was already an set of bankruptcy. but if there was no compulsion, the refusal was no act of bankruptcy, and this anomaly he proposed to do away with. In the next place, the power of assignees was extended under the new Act. lie further proposed thut power should be given to executors or other persons— say creditors—to administer the estates of deceased par ties .uuder the bankrupt-law. He felt the greater confidence in making this alteration, inasmuch as during the years in which the law had been administered by the present Commissioners— at least between the years 1842 and 1848, while there had been as many as 1,800 decisions, there had not been more than five appeals that had been sustained. Th?se Bills were then read a second time and ordered to be committed. LARCENY ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of this Bill. After a few words from the Marquis of SALISBURY and the Duke of liseumoso, Lord BROUGHAM agreed with the principle of the Bill, which he considered was a most important one. Lord STANLEY thought that a measure like the present ought to have had more attention given to it than appeared to have been awarded to it by the Noble and Learned Lord who had introduced it. Ho thought the Government ought, before the intro duction of this Bill, to have enunciated the principles on which they intended to act with respect to transpor tation generally. He did not forget the argument which was used a few years ago by the Noble Earl, that they were about to try a new series of ' punishments. He did not forget either that that was an experiment, and ought not to be judged of until it had been fairly tried ; but after eighteen months' experience he did think that some statement should be made as to its success. He therefore asked the Noble Earl whether he intended to lay upon the table of the House any measure for the settlement of the matter. He thought Parliament ought also to be in formed of the course of proceeding intended to be pur sued with regard to female convicts. The accumulation of male convicts in the penal colonies had led to the se rious evil of a disproportion between the two sexes, and consequently the influx of female convicts into those co lonies, so far from being considered an inconvenience, would tend to remedy that evil. He wished, therefore, to know how the Government intended to act on this point. Did they mean to submit female convicts to any probationary discipline in this country previous to trans portation, and to carry out to a greater extent, with re spect to them than with respect to the male convicts, the sentence of transportation? When he had held the situation of Colonial Secretary the position of female convicts, both here and iu Van Diemen's Land pressed very closely upan his attention, and it was attempted to carry out a reformatory system by the establishment of a penitentiary in Vau Diemen's Land, in which every fe male convict in the-first instance should be placed. An old 74 gun ship, the Anson, was sent out and fitted up as a floating penitentiary, but the period of reformation was of necessity too short, as the accommodation af forded was only sufficient for half the number of female convicts sent out in the course of the year. Conse quently, the period of probation was necessarily limited to six months, but, tried so imperfectly us the system was, there were found, if he were not misinformed, striking advantages from the establishment of that pe nitentiary, and a great portion of the convicts were turned out un society greatly improved. Ha was now informed, though not by dir ct or official authority, that it was the intention of the Government to abandon that system altogether and to send out female convicts, it they were sent out at all, subject to no reformatory discipline. He hoped he was misin formed, for the matter deserved the serious considera tion of the Government. He spoke from the informa tion of one of the most valuable persons in her line—the superintendent of this female penitentiary, for several years one of the principal matrons of the Hanwell Lu natic Asylum—Mrs. Chisholm, who was distinguished for the solicitude and skill with which she managed those placed under her superintendence. He was told that person was at the present moment under the apprehen sion that her services would no longer be required; and, if the establishment at Van Diemen's Land should be broken up, ho thought, in justice, some provision should be made for her. It was matter of importance, however, that the system itself should not be abandoned; for, as the female convicts were naturally more susceptible than the male, a great work of humanity might be combined with a great political advantage.—(Hear, hear.) Earl GREY said, that it was his intention to lay some papers with respect to transportation on the tabie of the House to-morrow, but, as he had not those papers now by him to refer to,and as he could speak merely from memory on the subject, he might possibly fall into some mistakes in addressing their Lordships on the present occasion. With respect to the main principles of the policy which the Go vernment had announced their intention to adopt in respect to transportation his opinion had not altered, but as to a very important part of it, he admitted that the result of the inquiry which took place two years ago had been very considerably to modify his opinion. So far as re. garded what he might term the strictly penal part of the sentence of transportation, he believed that that could be carried out more advantageously in this country than in the colonies, but that the subsequent part of the punishment, after the execution of the more severe por tion, could be more advantageouly put into effect in the colonies.—(Hear, hear.) his original idea had been, that the removal of convicts to the colonies should take place after their punishment had been completed, and that they should go under no restraint but as exiles. The important inquiry conducted by their Lordships and information since received from the colonies had, however, led him to conclude that the convicts should not be sent into the colonies in a state of entire freedom, but as convicts enjoying what was techni cally termed tickets of leave.—(Hear, hear.) Under such a system there would exist a power to ' remove the transported convicts from towns, where they might be exposed to the temptation of bad company or of easy access to public-houses, and to compel them to reside in remote districts, where the population was scattered, where they would not be exposed to the contamination of bad company, and where their labour would be most useful. There would also exist the power of mustering them on occasions when necessary. In the very great majority of cases he believed that if the convicts were subject in this country to a reformatory system of dis cipline, they would, on their arrival in the colonies, be come useful members of society. With these views the plan under which the Government was prepared to carry into effect the sentence of transportation was, that every convict (he was now speaking of male convicts) sentenced to transportation, whether for seven years or for a longer period, whose health fitted hies to be sent to the colonies, should ultimately complete his punishment by going out. In A the first instance he would be sent to such places of refo&iatory discipline as that at Wake field, or at Pentonville, where he would pass a longer or shorter period of separate confinement. It bad been found, in reference to the establishments at Gibraltar and Bermuda, that those convicts who had been subject to preliminary discipline when they were afterwards placed in different circumstances had not forgotten the salutary impression it had made on them. It was pro posed that the convicts, after having gone through a pe riod of separate imprisonment, in no case exceeding eighteen months, and very rarely exceeding twelve months.—(Hear, hear)—for all evidence showed that this was a punishment which, if prolonged beyond a cers tain time, was injurious—should bo sent to some esta blishment where they could labour in association —for instance, at Bermuda or Gibraltar, where the labour of convicts was valuable. He spoke from memory, but ho believed that the value of the labour performed by a can 38' . viet on the fortifications there was on the averag e a-year, and that the expense of his maint e . a ni.ence, ata.nede and clothing, not including lodging or superintendence, amounted only to half the value of his rioU ' i r i l r. To some establishments of this kind it was intendeda that the con victs sI soul(' go after the period of their duit separate impri sonment; that a record of the ir conduct should be kept; and thAt the term for which they would be compelled to labour at this establishment would very much_ depend upon their conduct. At the conclusion of their term they would have the advanta g e of being sent out with tickets of leave to the colonies, where they might die perse, the object bring to scatter them us widely as possible, a convict thus sent out might very so that rarely happen to see any one who might have known him when, engaged formerly Ql3 a career of crime. Wale • holding this ticket of leave in the colony the convict should not rise to the superior advantage of enjoying a conditional pardon until he repaid a certain portion of the expense of his conveyance to the oniony, say 15/. Of course, the Crown would have the power of remitting that condition, but he was now stating what would be the general rule under the system. One great advantage of this rule would be to induce the convicts to save, in the first instance, a certain portion of their ear nings for the purpose of obtaining their con ditional pardon, and thus they would avoid the tempta tions which persons naturally fell into who had been ter some time deprived of money, and who on their arrival in the colonies found themselves suddenly in the posses sion of funds, in consequence of their labour being extremely valuable. It was also thought, that it would tend greatly to diminish the objection on the part of the colonists to receiving convicts if the money so paid by the convicts were paid into the emigration funds of the colonies, instead of into the Exchequer of this country, thus assisting in promoting the tide of free emigration, which would neutralize any moral disadvantage which might be apprehended from the influx of convicts. He considered it an object of extreme importance that the con victs should be scattered as widely as possible; for he be lieved that when those who had been seduced into crime were separated from each other, and placed in association with persons who had not fallen into crime, they were the more likely to become reformed characters. With this view it had been the object of the Government to ender' your, as far as possible, to extend the field applicable to the purpose of receiving convicts, and a correspondence had taken place with the Governors of different colonies on the subject. The Governor of New South Wales had transmitted to him a resolution of the Legislative Coun cil, under which he had thought himself justified in ad vising that convicts with tickets of leave should again, for the present, be sent to that colony. The Cape of Good Hope, also, from the dispersion of the population over an immense district of territory, afforded peculiar facilities for the disposal of convicts ; and, as the demand for labour in that colony was very great, he bad little doubt that convict, might be sent there with advantage. He had lately received from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope an intimation that the announcement that the Govern ment intended to send convicts t r that place had ex cited very general dissatisfaction among the colonists. But it appeared to him (Earl Grey) that this was a service which the colonies could render to the mother country without any real injury to themselves, and which, considering what this country had done for them, she was entitled to require. The colonists must bear in mind that during the last session upwards of 1,000,000/. was voted by the British Parliament as an extraordinary grant for the expenses of the Kutir war, in addition to the regular charges of that war; and he thought, after making such sacrifices, that this country was entitled to require from the colony a service which might he ren dered without injury to its interests. As there had been great difficulty in finding means for disposing of the large number of persons sentenced to transportation, orders had been given for sending to the Cape of Good Hope from Bermuda 250 convicts, who had undergone a preliminary punishment, and who were recommended for removal in consequence of their good conduct. Ho begged to remind their Lordships that under this system the very same punishment would be inflicted which Par liament originally contemplated by transportation. It was provided, by repeated Acts of Parliament, that convicts might be sent to the colonies at any period whatever Of their sentence, and that they might be kept in establishments in this country, ashore or afloat, to hard labour for any period of the term of punishment the Government might think proper. Indeed, until late years, persons sentenced to seven years' transportation were never sent out of the country, but were kept at labour in the hulks. The difference between the present and the former system would be this—that whereas, formerly, the period of coerced labour convicts were re quired to undergo before they obtained tickets of leave was passed in the colonies, it would in future be spent either in this country or at Gibraltar or Bermuda. 'With respect to female convicts, ho agreed with the Noble Lord that there was much less objection to sending them in large numbers to Van Diemen's Land than there was with regard to male convicts ; but, at the same time, it was much more difficult to carry into effect preliminary punishment in the case of female than in the case of male prisoners. Any system of discipline which had hitherto been tried for female prisoners, associated together in considerable numbers, had failed to give satisfaction. Ho had re ceived reports from two gentlemen connected with the convict establishment in New South Wales, stating that the establishment on board the Anson had proved a com plete failure, and recommending that women should at once be sent out with tickets of leave on their arrival in the colony. He believed that the Anson establishment must be broken up. He did not underrate the import ance of previous reformatory discipline, but he believed that, if any establishment of that kind was to be main tained, it must be on shore. He considered that the failure on board the Anson was partly attributable'to the great disadvantages which invariably attended confine ment on board hulks. Experience has proved that a floating prison was the very worst that could be adopted, both with regard to economy and discipline. Tta , ex pense of filing up such prisons, and keeping them in repair, was very great, the space was necessarily very confined, the means of ventilation were imperfect, and it was utterly impossible to maintain in them a perfect state of discipline. The object of the Government would therefore be to transfer such establishments to buildings on shore, as they were doing at Portland and Bermuda. lie thought that if women were sent to estaldtehint nts of this kind at all, it ought to be at home, in order that the system might be closely watched, and that any defects might be promptly and speedily remedied. He considered that the punishment of transportation Was much more se verely felt by women than by men. It was a far greater punishment to a woman to be placed in the disgraceful position of a convict,and to be sent away from her friends and relatives, than it was to a man; anti he therefore thought that even if female convicts were allowed to re ceive tickets of leave very soon after their arrival in the colonies, there was no danger that transportation would not still be regarded by them as a very severe punish ment. If, however, the male convicts were allowed to receive tickets of leave on their arrival, a very large num ber of them would not consider transportation a punish ment at all. The case of female convicts was one of great difficulty, and with regard to which no final deter mination couid yet become to. It was a question for consideration whether Parliament should be asked to extend the means of subjecting them to proper prison discipline in this country; but, in the absence of proper prisons for female convicts in this country, all that could be done was to carry out their punishment as efficiently as possible. He might add, with regard to Mrs. Chis holm, to whom the Noble Lord had alluded, that ho was fully aware of her claims upon the Government, and that should the establishment on board the Anson bo broken up, some provision would undoubtedly be made for her. Lord CAMPBELL, in replying, said he could assure their Lordships that this Bill had been prepared after long and mature deliberation, and that he believed it was very carefully and skilfully drawn. After a few words from the Earl of MOUNTCASHELL and the Duke of Rica:MOND, The Bill was read a second time. On the motion of the Earl of MOUNTCASIIELL, return was ordered of the amount of county-rates levied in Ireland from 1785 to 1845. Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter. past Senn.

SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON. We have intelligence from Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier's squadron, dated Gibraltar, Feb. 6. The Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, C. 8., and the Van guard, 80, Captain Rick, had arrived from Malta on the 4th, after a passage of 18 and 20 days. The Sharpshooter screw gun-vessel, Lieut.-Com mander Bailey, arrived at Gibraltar with dispatches from England on the 6th. The Polyphemus, 4, steam. sloop, Commander R. B. Crawford, proceeded to Tangier at mid-day on the 6th. The Sidon, 12, steam-frigate, Captain W. H. Header. son, C. 8., was expected to return from Tangier on the 7th, with Mr. Drummond Hay's answer to the demands of the British Government from the Emperor of Morocco. The Belgian consuls have been lalso com plaining of the piratical acts of the Moors. The naval force under the command of Sir C. Napier, at Gibraltar, was most imposing. It was composed of the St. Vincent, 120, Captain S. C. Dacres, flag of the commander-in-chief; Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, C. 8. :. Prince Regent, 90, Captain W. F. Martin ; Powerful, 84, Captain Hon. R. J.

Commander Crofton; Sharpshooter, 8, screw gun-vessel, Lieut. Commander Bailey. The distribution of this powerful squadron depended on the Emperor's explanations and promises. Should everything be satisfactory it is likely the Stromboli may come home immediately with dispatches. The Rodney will come home to Portsmouth, and the Van guard to Plymouth, to be paid off immediately; and the Prince Regent was to be sent right on to Malta.

H• was a lieutenant of 1802, and retired commander of 1840. By this officer's death a vacancy for a lieutenant in the out-pension list of Greenwich Hospital is made. Commander Yule was in transport service at the capture of Martinique and Guadaloupe ; mate of Brilliant in action with V, rtu and Regeneree; and of Penelope at capture of Guillaume Tell, and surrender of Malta ; Lieutenant of Egyptienne in Calder's action, and of Il lustrious, commanding a gun-boat at Walcheren. Pre salt at the capture of the Isles of France and Java, 1811. A survey of seamen and marines in the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, was held yesterday, at which the captains and surgeons of all the ships in commission assisted. The San Josef, 110, late flag-ship at Devonport, will not be sold out of the service. It is deemed more eco nomical and advantageous to break her up in the Royal establishment, by job and task work, and then to dis pose of as much of the old timber and stores as is not convertible for further service. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, in dock at Ports mouth, has had a gang of riggers at work on board. Her topmasts are lidded, and the rigging is being rattled down. Captain Fitzroy is frequently on board overlook ing her fittings. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY, FIVE P.M.—For the last three days we have had light N.N.W. winds, with very fine weather. A Russian Finland barque, the Astrea, Captain Erne leus, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth from Newcastle, bound to Genoa, having cholera on board. Three of her crew were lying dead on board, and four more were dan gerously ill, and not expected to recover. She wee ordered down to the quarantine ground at the Mother bank, and has been visited by a medical gentlemaa. EXTENSIVE FIRE IN THE BOROUGH.—This morn ing, about half-past twelve o'clock, a fearful fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Gregory, a whole...
