Yi One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense at right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em later the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little EMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered coy misinterpretation of their sapposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other Jule publications claim your attention (same price ls. each, by post ls. fid.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely pqmphlcts, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

The North American mail steamer Canada, Cap tain Judkins, has arrived with accounts from New York to the 7th inst. The Canada, from Liverpool, arrived at New York on the 30th ult., in 17 days ; and the United States, from Southampton, on the sth inst., in 27 days. The latter vessel had to put into Halifax for a supply of coals. The Niagara, hence for Boston, arrived at Halifax on the 10th. A vessel arrived a New Orleans from Sisal reports hare seen the West India mail steamer Avon on shore on the Alacranes on the lith ult., with a number of wreckers alongside. The proceedings of Congress had not been impor tant ; the project of a railroad across the Isthmus of Panama had form e d th e top i c o f d a il y di scuss i on , b u t without any decisive result; its success this session was problematical. The sum required by New Gra nada as a security had been paid, and an agent dis patched to test the ground. The Canadian Reciprocity Bill would probably share a similar fate. The slavery question had not presented any new development. Mr. Calhoun's manifesto had been issued in extenso. A Bill had been presented to the Senate on the 29th from a Select Committee to admit California as a State, and. likewise new Mexico, when she shall have acquired sut6cient population. In the House of Represent a ti ves cons id era bl e dis cussion took place on the 31st t ouc hi ng a Bill prohi biting the introduction of slaves into the district of Columbia. Externally, the free movement had gained new power in the election of Dlr. Seward as senator for New York. The domestic affairs of the Union are unimportant. The Legislature of Pennsylvania authorized the Trersurer on the 31st ult. to negotiate a loan of 200,000 dollars, in anticipation of the regular re venues, to meet the interest on its debt due in February. Accordingly, the interest has been paid, but unfortunately to the extent of one-half in relief notes, 2i per cent. below par. The Secretary of the Treasury at Washington had stated his intention to receive its outstanding notes at par. The movement in reference to California is the next feature of note. Although few, if any, later advises had been received, the tide of emigration continued unabated. Up to the close of January, 5,710 indi• viduals had taken the route to the new El Dorado in 99 vessels, hundreds were being added to the number, and whole fleets of ships were announced for de parture. A large amount of specie in silver had also been shipped for California, to the amount of 500,000 dolls. 60,000 dolls. value had been received thence. The accounts daily put forth by the press of the United States continue of the most exciting and extraordinary character. Gold to a large amount continues to reach the United States from California. In Philadelphia a mercantile house had received a lump of gold over 41bs. in weight, and described to be of a very pure kind. In New York one of the bank ing houses in Wall-street had received several bars, three of which weighed over 251bs. They are stated to be 21:1 carats fine. A communication received by the American Government from one of the officers, ,drted Mazatland, says—" One piece was found of solid gold of 251bs. weight, and another 71bs. Pieces from one to twenty ounces are quite common, and are about 20i carats fine." The same correspondent states—" The region extends over 400 miles long by 200 broad:' Emigration continues on a very large scale at nearly all the ports of the Union. Ships are up for freights and passengers, which are rapidly filled and quickly succeeded by others. A large number of vessels are at St. Francisco, deserted by their crews and unable to leave. The most extrava gant sums were offered for sailors, but without success. The latest dates from Chagres and Panama are to the Bth and 9th ult. inclusive. They were discou raging touching that route to the New World. A private letter received in New Orleans states that 2,000,000 dolls. in gold dust was at San Francisco awaiting transit to the United States. A Mazatlan etter of the 20th of December reports that the wash ings had ceased, the whole region being covered a foot deep with snow. Cold had been discovered 100 miles south of the original field. A Valparaiso letter of the 80th of December an nounces an arrival of 70,000 dolls. in gold dust and an active emigration to California. Important dispatches from the Governor were lying at Mazatlan, waiting the means of dispatch. At New York the fever remains unabated. Our money letter states that the market was more stringent. The spring trade was opening courage ously. The amount of prominent paper offering in the Street was not large, and the rates of discount were from Bto 10 per cent. per annum. For prime bills the demand on call was goad at 6 to 7 per cent. The supply of exchanges for the Canada was full, and the inquiry limited. The market closed, with a downward tendency, at 1081 to 1081. The quota tions for securities were rather lower. United States Six per Cents., 1856, 1031 104; Six per Cents., 1862, 106 107 ; Six per Cents., 1867, 1071 108 ; Six per Cents , 1868, 108 109 ; Five per Cents, 1853, 98 98+; Mexican Indemnity, 92 94; Treasury Notes, Six per Cent., 107+ 1071. Pennsylvania Fives were quoted 771 to 78 ; and Ohio Sixes, 1880, 103 to 03 / }. From Canada we have no news of note ; our dis patch gives the opening speech of the Governor of Nova Scotia. From Mexico we have letters to the 14th ult. The Cabinet of llerrera was firm. Congress had met on the Ist, and the speech of the President at the open ing, and the reply thereto, indicate harmonious views and a settled purpose to bring about what the Presi dent justly says is the one thing needful for the pro sperity of the country —a good administration. All the shares in the Mexico and the Jacubaya Railway were taken. The insurgents at Taluca were dis persed by the Government troops under General Donolga. Generals Puiscon and Alvarez were con centrating their troops in the state of Mexico to restore perfect tranquillity. From Yucatan we learn that 500 American volun teers, after a desperate struggle, had defeated 8,000 Indians, and the pre-eminence of the whites is restored. Havannah accounts of the 22d ult. state that the new crops began to appear in excellent quality. The captain Gencral was recovering. Port-au-Prince letters of the 12th announce the es tablishment by the Haytian Republic of the Govern ment monopoly in cotton and coffee. Dealers are to bell exclusively to Government at fixed prices. At Matanzas on the 20th business was generally dull. The crops of sugar and molasses would be short. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, FEB. 7 . Cotton—The Canada's accounts created iomedisap pointment, flat markets, with limited sales, and a decline on the rise which occurred after the departure of the last mail; but the market has since rallied to ab ou t th e prices of a fo r t n i g ht a r o. We quote middling 6ic. to 7c for upland ; 7 c . t o 7 c. for "Gulfs;" fair le. for up lands; and Bc. to Bfe. for Orleans. The aggregate re ceipts of cotton at all the shipping ports are 1,338,887 b a l es, aga i nst 929,309 to th e same d ates last year —an increase this season of 409,078 bales. The total foreiga export this year is 230,481 bales more than last year—say 271,61 4 bales increase to Great Britain; 39,986 decrease to France, 5,477 increase to the North of Europe, and 6,624 decrease to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports are 129,275 bales more this season than last; and there is an increase in stock of 103,002 bales. Flour —The demand is light, and prices close lower. Western and common Gennessee, 5 dolls. 50c. to 5 dolls. 624-c. Since our notice of the departure of the last steamer the market has been dull an d gradually de clining, owing chiefly to the abundant supplies from New Orleans, which have, we believe, all been disposed of from the wharf, and prices of the lower grades now stand 18;e., a n d o f t h e hi g h er 6}o. below th ose current on the 20th ult., these last having maintained themselves mush bettor than the former, the supply not being large and the demand more steady and uniform. Grain, &c.—The stock of Western wheat, before no ticed as large, is gradually decreasing, a portion being ground in this v i c inity on owners account; th e b u lk, however, remains, and is held very firmly. Corn since the departure of the last steamer has de clined 2e. on round Northern, and 50. on Southern, the market closing without activity, prices being in favour of the buyer. Freights to Liverpool.—Cotton , 5. 16 of Id. per lb.; corn in bulk, Gid. to 7d.; heavy goods, 30s. per ton. To London.—Flour, 2s. 6d . per barrel; tobacco, per 2s. 6d. to 35. ; h eavy goads, hogshead, 40 i . ; t u rpentine, 32i. Gd. to 355. per ton. To Havre there have been no recent engagements. NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 29. Merchants here are anxiously looking for later advices from Europe. The cotton.market was brisk, provisions were dull, and freights still advancing. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—The per ances at this popular place of amusement continue to draw crowded audiences, Mr. 13.

S 11 N 9 FEBRUARY 20, 1849. THE CATASTROPHE at GLASGOW. LATEST PARTICULARS. GLASGOW, SUNDAY.-We lament to announce one of the most appalling events which ever took place in the west of Scotland, and which occurred in the Theatre Royal, Dunlop-street, last night. About eight o'clock, while the company was concluding the first act of the drama of the Surrender of Calais, the alarm of fire was given from the upper gallery; and it turned out in reality that a lighted paper (believed to have been thrown down by a person after igniting his pipe) had come in contact with an escape of gas, and pro duced a small flame; but it was so insignificant that it was extinguished by the persons is the vicinity. At first there was a slight commotion visible throughout the house, and those in the boxes, pit, and lower gallery kept their seats. Many in the gallery did not knew, apparently, whether to treat the alarm of fire as a real or false one. Several persons from the stage and other parts of the house came forward and shouted at the top of their voices-" Keep your seats-there is no danger;" and a round or two of cheering was given. But in the midst of this a frantic panic arose, and there was a general and wild rush from the upper gallery towards the stair which leads to the street. It may be: necessary here to explain, that since the last " star" performed in the house, viz., Mr. Mackay (Bailie Nicol Jerrie), a pan tomime has been brought out with great display, and, at the same time, the prices of admission have been much reduced. The entrance-money to this spacious cockloft was only 3d.; the night eras Saturday, when the work ing classes are generally disengaged, and, in consequence, the place was well filled, there being 500 in that part of the house. The audience rushed downstairs in the terror of some undefined calamity; but most lamentably they were brought to a halt by some of them stumbling at the first landing above the flight of stain from the street door. They crushed upon each other so rapidly that they soon formed a compact mass, and all chance of es cape was gone. Those behind, unaware of the nature of this obstruction, and hearing the shrieks from below, pressed on more furiously than ever, only of course to augment the catastrophe. In dependently of the pressure the staircase soon be came a second Black Hole of Calcutta, from the in tensity of the heat and the want of fresh air. The weaker were trampled down by others, who wore only to be trampled down in turn by the fresh and furious in the rear. The noise of the stifled cries and groans, and of the struggle for bare life which came from this horrid staircase, were most agonizing; and even those who could not reach it, but were compelled to remain in the spacious gallery, whereby their lives were saved, set up dreadful yells. This shocking scene lasted several mi nutes, and many gentlemen in other parts of the house made generous and noble efforts to reach the spot; but they were unsuccessful, for the lower staircase was jammed by the dead and the dying, and the entrance to the upper gallery was crowded by the frantic crowd. The tire brigade was early on the spot, but being informed that the accident had been slight, and the flames extinguished, they quietly returned with their butts and engines, quite unaware that such an awful tragedy was acting near them. They were coon recalled, however, and some time again elapsed, in the confusion, before it could be decided where an en trance was to be effected. A kind of wooden partition which separated a part of the lower gallery from the stair above it, was hewn down by hatchets, and a fright ful scene presented itself. A mass of bodies were found closely packed together, with the damp sweat of death on many a face. With much difficulty some of these bodies were dragged through the hole, and carried along the lower gallery to the apartments behind the scenes, with which there is a communication. At the same time workmen procured ladders and mounted to the window with which the stairs are lighted from the lane; but, unfortunately, this was protected or shut in by strong iron staucheons, and these had to be torn away by crowbars, which smashed away the solid stonework in which the stancheons rested. When once opened the air was admitted, but the aperture was too small to allow of any of the bodies being removed by it. A third mode of relief was by driving down a kind of bulkhead, which joins the main stairs, lead ing respectively to the street from the upper and lower galleries. It is said that a money taker, who has his box at this spot, made some resis tance to a passage for safety being made through his territory, which otherwise might have been used with much advantage; but, where there is blame somewhere, public opinion may be suspended until there is time fully to inquire into this sad business. Few of these were saved on the lower staircase, but, a vast number were restored by Mr. Alexander, the manager, and others, entering the gallery from the side doors and dragging the people up stairs and back again, into the place they had left. All those who remained were safely passed to the street by these stage modes of exit. The tidings flew through the city, and, as the streets are crowded at this hour, principally by working people, all the avenues to Dunlop-street were stopped up. Several of the magistrates, with Dr. Easton and many medical gentlemen, were soon on the spot, and witnessed horrors of which no one could have formed a conception. All the rooms of the Garrick Hotel, opposite the theatre, were by this time filled with the dead and the wounded. The pie-shop below was similarly occu pied; and some of the rooms in the house of Mr. Grey, goldbeater, adjoining, were given up for the same pur pose. There were also many dead and hurt behind the scenes of the theatre. As soon as possible, every cab which could be procured was pressed into the service, and all those who had been wounded and were alive were sent to the Infirmary. Then came the sad task of re moving the dead, of which there were now sixty-one in the various places already mentioned. From the ar rangement made by Carrick, Superintendent of Streets and Buildings, accommodation was provided at the Clyde-street Hospital, in which the bodies were laid out until claimed by their:friends. They were accordingly removed, first, by means of omnibuses, and then by means of hearses, until all had been carried away. The bodies were placed in these vehicles uncovered and un coffined, in parties of from five to eight at a tine; for the greatness of the calamity did not permit of the ordi nary observance being paid to the dead.

Scarcely any of these bodies—and the writer saw nearly 30—presented external wounds. Some of them had lost shoes and stockings, and all of them their caps, in the struggle; but the bodies presented s. placid though blue appearance, such as is seen in the corpses of those who die from suffocation. The dead almost all helot% [PRICE SD. to the working classes, and last night was perhaps tha r2ddest everknown to that class in Glasgow. All who bad a relation missing hurried to the Town's Hospital, to make their inspection, between fear and hope, but were in formed that they could not be admitted till this morning. The frequent shrieks told how often a bereaved mother or father had recognised their dead child, or when a tister had seen the corpse of a brother with whom she had parted not long before in health and gladness. By one o'clock this forenoon all the bodies of the Clyde.street Hospital, viz., 61 in number, had been claimed by their friends. Of those sent to the Infirmary, three have died, and one woman also died this afternoon at the hospital. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Conanotie.)

After the play the follow ing address, writtlan expressly for this theatre by the Right Hon. Lord Leigh, of Stoneleigh Abbey, wail ably delivered by Mr. Conway, a talented member of the corps dramatique : Once more, not far from Avon, and the town That claims the matchless Shakespere as her own, Here, where great Kean auxiliar honors won, And Elliston, Thalia's favourite son, Ere, as he grew the genius of the place, The noble structures raised our Spa that grace, We build a Theatre, where scenic art Has well, to please your taste, performed her part; here may we hope the drama may revive, For your amusement, your instruction thrive; Here graceful beauty by attraction's law, Aided by genius, must full houses draw; And wandering stars may here be fixed awhile To shine with brighter radiance when you smile! Goldsmith's pure humour, Sheridan's fine wit, Our classic theatre we trust befit; You all at home on Sbakspeare's page to dwell Delight, his characters embodied well (No art their inmost excellence can show) Lire on the stage and there in action glow. As in a mirror, Folly here may see Her proper form, and folly cease to be; And Vice, in truest colours, here portrayed, May startle minds that wicked thoughts invade; • Sympathy wakened, by fictitious grief, Prompts you to give to real woe relief; The actor wins, in genuine feeling, cheers, Whether those cheers break through your smiles or tears In lively scenes Life's social pleasures charm The heart, in serious Virtue's triumphs warm. The laughter-moving farce, when on the stage Well acted, shews " the spirit of the age." To recreate the fancy, to adorn Truth with her smiles, the comic muse was born; While the deep sorrows of the tragic lyre Emotions strong to nature true inspire. Deem not, kind friends, the bubbles of the day, That shine and burst, we promise to display ; We eater for the public taste, and find, In sister arts, your tastes to be refined. In music, sculpture, painting and we hail • The omen that in acting they prevail. Long here may wit her influence maintain, And sterling sense, by right of judgment, reign. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) TRIAL OF MR. DUFFY. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENlNG. — Notwithatanding the illness of Mr. North, one of the jurors in this case, he was so far recovered at the sitting of the Court SS to enable the trial to be proceeded with. Mr. Butt then commenced addressing the jury for the defence, and in the course of kis observations having made some remarks upon the necessity of preserving the Constitution inviolate and Mr. Duffy's exertions to effect that object, one of the jurors (Mr. Brooke) became extremely excited, rose in his seat, and applauded the Learned Gentleman warmly, having both clapped his hands and shouted " Hear, hear." He was immediately called to order by Mr. Justice Ball, who said it was highly unbecoming and improper for any one to make such an exhibition in a court of justice, and particularly a juror, whose duty was to hear the case calmly and dispassionately. Mr. Butt then resumed his address, and it was not expected to conclude before four or five o'cloCk. Lord John Russell's proposition of a general "rate in aid " continues to excite great discontent in the northern and eastern province. Mr. George Maccartney, an extensive landed pro prietor in Ulster, called on the authorities in that ,uar ter to hold instant meetings to resist by every legitimate means the imposition of so unjust a system of taxation, alike dangerous to the best interests of Ireland and in consistent with the articles of the Union.-7inies.
