TIM GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountable that '0 many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently auspicious should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock had Passionately loved each other. It the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theories, they might probably have had less diffi cu lty i n arrivin g at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered bow much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school, and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by Medical men. poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointments wit nesse d i n t h e connu bi al state. is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of sand ho who have no idea of the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there be not something in his past We which admits of the pose batty that he himself may be concerned, either at present or prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selectino , the quarter from whence assistance is sought. Dr. LA'MERT is the only legally qualified practitioner on the Medical Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to the treatment of a peculiar class of infirmities incidental to youth and maturity.

ACCIDENT IN THE ROYAL PROCESSION.—A sin gular contretemps occurred yesterday during the return of the royal procession from the Houses of Parliament. Upon its arrival at the Horse Guards, and nearly opposite the Chapel Royal in Whitehall, one of the horses attached to one of the carriages stumbled and fell, creating much con • fusion, and, after va i n a tt empts to raise the animal, causing thed State carriage of h er M ajesty to take a circuitous route, an to enter St. James's park without the equipage to which the accident had occurred, and which, after a short delay, fell in at the rear of the Queen's escort.

(From the Gazette of last evening) At a Court at Buckingham Palace, the 4th day of February, 1861, present, the Queen's most excellent Ma jesty in Council. Whereas her Majesty was graciously pleased, by her Royal Proclamation, bearing date the 30th day of April, 1859, to promise and declare that the bounties of ten pounds for every able seaman, and five pounds for every ordinary stamen, fit for her Majesty's service, should be paid, in the manner .thereby directed, to every such able and ordinary seaman, not above the age of 45, nor under the age of 20 years, who should on or before the 15th day of June then following, enter themselves to serve in her Majesty's Royal Navy, either with the 'captains or lieutenants of her Majesty's ships, or officers employed in tenders, or at rendezvous on shore for raising men for the service of the Royal Navy; and whereas her Majesty was also graciously pleased by her said proclamation, to declare that all able-bodied landsmen, not above the age of 25, nor under the age of 20 years, who should so enter themselves as aforesaid, should receive the sum of 40s. each man as her Majesty's Royal Bounty; And whereas the time limited for payment of the said Bounties, so far as they relate to able seamen and ordinary seamen, was, by Order in Council of the 11th day of Auto, 1859, prolonged and extended from the said 15th day of June to the 31st day of July, 1859; and whereas by certain other Orders in Council the said bounties to able and ordi nary seamen were reduced to £8 and £4, to £6 and £3 and lastly to £4 and £2, respectively, and th e ti me limited for the payment of the said last-mentioned bounties was on the 26th March, 1860, prolonged and extended from the Ist April, 1860, to the 31st March, 1861; and it being judged expedient for her Majesty's Service that Bounties should, so far as they relate to Able Seamen and Ordinary Seamen, be continued to be paid for some time longer, but that the same should be further reduced to £2 in respect of Able Seamen, and to £1 in respect of ordinary seamen; her Majesty, with the advice of her Privy Council, cloth therefore order, and it is hereby accordingly ordered, that the time limited for payment of the said further reduced bounties of £2 to able seamen, and of £1 to ordinary seamen, be prolonged and extended froni the Ist day of April next to the 31st day of March, 1862, inclusive ; whereof all persons concerned are to take notice and govern themselves accordingly. ARTHUR HELPS. ATTEMPTED ►SUICIDE DURING THE ROYAL PROCBSSION.—As her Majesty the Queen was yesterday proceeding to open Parliament, and just as the Royal cortege reached Derby-street, a small street leading from Parliament-street into Cannon-row, a person, in Asiatic costume, was seen to break through the crowd and attempt to thrust a paper into the carriage in which her Majesty was seated. He was, however, immediately prevented. Indeed, the Prince Consort himself, apprehensive of some maniac violence, pushed back the hand of the intruder. The man, baffled in his effort to force himself upon Royalty, immediately pulled out a claspknife and drew it three times across his throat. • Arrested by the police, he was at once conveyed to King-street police station, where he promptly received the necessary surgical attention. The man's name is Mahomet Ali Khan. He is about 40 years of age, and is a native of Calcutta. He is under the impression that he has suffered some wrongs from the hands of Govern ment, and states that it was his intention to place a peti tion in reference to his case before the Queen. He is evidently a lunatics The following is the letter of the Prince Primate of Hungary to the Comitats : Honourable Comitats I Estimable patriots I To contri bute to the happiness of our dear country, to secure its prosperity, such has ever been the chief aim of my life. Therefore I desire nothing more strongly than to see re established the advantages of the constitutional exist ence enjoyed by us and our fathers during a series of years under crowned princes. The Almighty, who rules times and epochs, who destroys empires and founds them anew, has blessed my efforts, and thus it "happens that his Majesty, following his former inclinations, accedes to the deOres of the nation, and has restored to the country its constitutional existence. In virtue of the supreme resolu tion, the comitats were organised ; provinces violently, separated from the territory of the country have been re stored to it ; the language of the public decrees and of education is the Hungarian language ; and with satisfac tion we learn that the Diet and the Government of our august Sovereign .are to be expected as indubitable facts. We now possess the germ of the constitutional life; the good intentions and the promia3 of our lord and sovereign are the guarantee that we shall also witness the fructifica tion of the germ.. I bless the Almighty, who has permitted me to see the morning of the day of the resurrection of my country, and has enabled me to exclaim with the nation, " The country hes risen from the dead I let as return thanks to the Al mighty." But I experience very grave anxiety in learning that the construction of the new edifice is not in some points conducted with that prikenee, that patience, which the importance alld difficulty inherent to the matter require, and.which are the necessary conditions 'of a happy solu tion. Dear patriots I —Your ardent love for the safety of the country tranquillises me, and makes me hope that you will not badly construe it if one of your brothers who has reached the evening of life, and, anxious on the subject of his country's prosperity, addresses to you some words of counsel. For so great a work as the regulation of our country's affairs, great preparations are necessary, in order that all may be executed with fitting circumspection, and that the edifice which we desire to see arise, magnificent and im pregnable, may be placed upon a sure and solid basis. It is especially in the execution of a work of such grandeur and of such extensive bearings, that precipitation ought to be avoided. We should shun all premature steps—acts contrary to the written decree—steps which, besides being an obstacle to the development of affairs, produce, instead of order, the anarchy which God wishes to spare the coua 'try so often tried, and provoke measures of order on the part of the authorities. If, with amanly perseverance, we have suffered, our eyes turned the Most High, only nourishing in our hearts a wish to see the Sovereign ten der us his hand in sign of reconciliation as he has now ten dered it, let us at least have some months of patience until our affairs receive from the Diet a solution in a permanent form, with the co• operation of all, and so not alienate, a Sovereign animated by the purest s3ntiments, and who ap proaches us with the olive branch in his hand. The country finds itself now, as it has done at many other periods, in a situation of difficulty. Dear friends of the country, permit me in my sincerity to tell you that your patriotism will be of very slight value, if just at this moment you withdraw the aid material to the Prince and the country ; if just at this moment you refuse the pay ment of taxes, the necessity for which, moreover, is so press ing in our own interest. I hope you will understand me if, in virtue of my position in the country, and following the example of my ancestors, I now intercede between the So vereign and the nation. May these words full of tonfidence, testify my high esteem for you, my fraternal love, and the hopes which I entertain of your patriotism. May the blessing of God descend upon the Prince and upon the country. JEAN SEITO/MSKY, Cardinal and Prince Pri mate of Hungary. Gran, Jan. 16, 1861. MR. COBDEN AND THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, —Your leading article of Friday last was not, of course, intended to injure the property of Mr. Cobden and the other proprietors of the Illinois Central Railroad ; but, in order to prevent that result, will you permit me to say that this road, like all other great enterprises, required time for completion and development. The first has been ac complished, and the second is progressing rapidly. The road is one of the most complete character-800 miles in length; it has already paid off £1,000,000 of its debt, and has remaining some £3,000,000, against which the company have sold lands, and hold acicnowledgmenrs for payment to an amount nearly equal to the entire sum ; and they have, moreover; clear freehold rights over 1,200,003 acres, which they are gradually selling at from 6 dols. to 25 dols. per acre, the sales for December last being 11,071 acres for £30,300, and the total for the past year 71,287 acres for £227,500. If you compare this enterprise with any great English line—say, for example, the London and North Western, and the Great Western, the comparison will stand thus : Illinois Central, 800 miles. Debt has been 21,297,000 dols. £4,300,000 Reduced, since the ,line has bee in operation, by receipts from land sales and proprietors' capital, 5,600,000 doll. Per mile. Debt outstanding £3,180,000 .. £3,750 London and North Western, 960 miles. Debt outstanding £11,000,000 11,400 Great Western, 523 miles. Debt outstanding • £10,341,000 .. 19,800 The English lines possess no independent assets applicable to the redemption of their permanent debts, whereas the Illinois Central has not only assets in course of collection equal to the amount of debt, but further assets in land equal to its entire share capital, which may be eventually returned to the proprietors in the shape of increased divi dends or bonuses, while the traffic receipts for last year, £545,000, will probably leave a net return of over £200,000 being equal to something like 10 per cent. on the amount of the share capital. I therefore venture to submit that your proposition to place Mr. Cobden "in trust" is deserving of some modifica tion, unless he has committed a much greater folly than investing in "the Illinois Central."—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, City, Feb. 4.

(Before Mr. Kerr.) SIORGAN V. RORINSON-LIPE ASSURANCE AND TILE row& .- EXTRAORDINARY CASE. The defendant is agent for the "Friend in Neal Life Assurance and Sick Fund Friendly Society," Oxford street. Mr. Philp, for the plaintiff, said that, although the sum sought to be recovered was only 4s. 6d., he had f e lt it t o b e his duty to attend on th e part of the plaintiff, as the facts of the case were of a very singular character. Mrs. Morgan, the plaintiff in this case, had for many years cohabited with a man named Roy. She bore Roy children, and always passed as his wife. Indeed, upon going into Scotland together he introduced her as his wife. Now, in 1859, Roy was induced to insure his life in the Friend in Need Assurance Society for £2O (or rather for £l9 16s. to save the stamp), and the premiumwas to be paid weekly. After paying many weeks Mrs. Morgan fell into arrears, and she inquired of the defendant, as agent to the society, whether it would be cheaper to pay up the shares or have a fresh policy. Defendant informed her that a new policy would, be the cheapest, but she must pay 4s. 6d. for registering. This money was handed to defendant and the new policy granted. After this new policy had been granted Rey died. The society thereupon refused to pay the policy, as Roy had stated his age to be "56 instead of 57." Him Honour would see that policies under £l5 were indisputable, but this was £l9 165., and as they refused to pay, i n accor d ance w i th one of the rules, this being an enrolled society, the matter was referred to arbitration, and the arbitrators had "considered the society quite right in refusing to pay the policy when Roy misre presented his age." Under these circumstances, and find ing that the policy had never been registered, the peer plaintiff sought to get back her 4s. 6d. from defendant. Mrs. Morgan and her daughters proved paying defendant the money. Defendant denied receiving it, and said that such a charge was never made. His Honour—WV did you not pay the policy ? Defendant—Roy was sick. Mr. Philp—The prospectus says, "No medical exami nation." His Honour (to defendant)—Do you think Roy fraudu lently misrepresented his age ? Defendant—Oh, no. His Honour—Then you ought to have paid the policy. I think (to Mr. Philp) there is a ease in the books exactly all fours with this. If you look into it I fancy you will find a remedy. As to the 4s. 6d., I believe the plaintiff and her witnesses, and not dafendant, and plaintiff will have a verdict. Mr. Philp-TI appear here solely on public grounds, and do not get a shilling, but I was instructed in reference to the policy, and considered it my duty to attend here to-day. This is not the only case of this kind, and it is right the public should be put upon its guard. His Honour adverted to it in very strong language, and the matter dropped. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS' DAY.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN GOODS BY. FRAI7D PROM JEWBLLERS.—WiIIiam Schmitz, IA, Seymour-place, Fulham-road, a porter, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with attempting to obtain earrings by false pretences from Mr. Martin, jeweller, 225, Regent-street, the prisoner hav ing made several other attempts to obtain goods, at one place a necklace of the value of £6O, but fortunately being unsuccessful. Mr. Martin said—l know the prisonet at the bar, and recollect his bringing a p a i r o f earr ings from Mr. Kreutsch man, jeweller, of 9, Duke-street, Bloomsbury, on approba tion. The prisoner called last night on him and said Mr. Kreutschman wanted one pair, and that if I showed him the numbers, he would point out which was the pair. I did so, and he scratched the number out of the invoice, and took them away with him, Mr. Ludwi g Waldemar Kreutschman, jeweller, 9, Duke street, Bloomsbury, said—l took prisoner into my employ about threp weeks ago, but in consequence of being informed that he was a thief discharged him yesterday, paying him his wages. I had sent Mr. Martin six pairs of earrings on approbation, but never told prisoner to call for any of them, and he had never brought them back. The prisoner had tried at several places to get goods in my name, and it was in consequence of a necklace of the value of £6O being brought from Mr. Williams, Hatton-garden, and my'being told a young man had ordered it, that I found that he had been to Mr. Martin's. As I believe there will be several other charges I wish prisoner remanded. Prisoner asked Mr. Kreutschman whether, after he dis charged him, he did not say he might sell goods for him in commission. Mr. Kreutschman denied this. Mr. Beadon ordered the depositions to be read over, and the prisoner stands committed for trial, but will be brought up in case any fresh charges may be preferred. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was only a moderate show of samples of English wheat on sale in to-day's market, and their general quality was inferior. On the whole, the demand ruled steady, and Monday's quotations were fully supported. Foreign wheat, the supply of which was large, com manded a steady, though not to say active, inquiry, at ex treme rates. Floating cargoes were rather more in request, but not dearer. Fine malting barley met a somewhat improved sale, at full prices, but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry. Malt supported last week's currency ; the demand for it, however, was far from active. A fair average business was passing in oats, almost ex granary, at full quotations. Beans moved off slowly, on former terms, but peas fully maintained previous rates. Both English and foreign flour commanded more atten tion, and full rates were paid for all kinds. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

FIRE AT BLENREIM PdLACE. OXFORD, FEB. 5. Great excitement was caused in this city early this morn ing from a report that the magnificent palace of Blenheim was being destroyed by fire, and that the many and valu able curiosities that were known to be located in the vari ous rooms were irretrievably lost. Of course rumour with her busy tongue had considerably increased the damage that was done, and we were not a little gratified on visiting the spot to find that the fire had wholly been confined to the north-east portion of the building, containing part of the porter's lodge, the bakehouse, the land clerk's room, the steward's room, and the Titian room, this portion of the buildings being separated from the palace by a fireproof room and an open space used as a yard. About half-past 5 this morning the porter was alarmed by the smell of smoke and wood burning, and, upon arousing himself, saw from the re flection that the bakehouse roof was on fire. He gave the al arm by ringing the visitors' bell, and, with the butler, proceeded to ascertain in what quarter the fire was raging, and dis csvered the roof of the offices and Titianroom in flames. Their first thought was about the accounts and papers that were deposited in the rooms of the steward's and clerk's offices, and the whole of them were rescued. Their next thought was bestowed upon the valuable paintings of the Titian room, and efforts were made to rescue them, but the molten lead was pouring down so fast from the roof that it was out of the question to stay even for a moment in the room. The loss of these pictures will be much regretted by all admirers of this celebrated master. They were a present from Victor Amadeus, King of Sardinia, to John, Duke of Marlborough, and remained unhung and hidden from the public view till the visit of Sir Joshua Reynolds to Blenheim in 1788 ; he was so forcibly struck with their beauty and value that he recommended their being placed in the room they occupied. The following. is a list of the pictures destroyed : Mars and Venus, Cupid and Psyche, Apollo and Daphne, Pluto and Proserpine, Hercules and Dejanira, Vulcan and Ceres, Bacchus and Ariadne, Jupiter, Juno, and To, Neptune and Amphitrite, all painted on leather, by Titian. The only other painting is one by Peter Paul Rubens—the Rape of Proserpine, 8 feet S inches in height, and 2 feet one inch wide, and was considered one of Rubens' masterpieces. The origin of the fire was not known. AUSTRIAN PREPARATIONS IN VENETIA. A letter from Venice, dated Jan. 30th, has the following : At the end of his tour of inspection in Venetia, the Tyrol and Illyria, the Feldzeugmeister von Benedek has just ad dressed his report to the Emperor on the state of the troops, fortifications, and magazines. Lieut.. General the Baron Alfred von Henickstein was the bearer of it to Vienna for the purpose of giving any supplementary information re quisite concerning the plans of defence to be adopted in case of invasion by an enemy, whether on the side of the Mincio and the Po, or on that of the Adriatic. I do not pretend to be able to send you positive details. What ap. pears probable, judging by the frequent excursions of offi cers charged with local surveys, is this, that the plain en closed by the Tagliamenfo and the Livenza is selected for the formation of a camp of observation, which will ex tend from the mountain-slopes on the Aviano side and descend to the level lands of the Caorlo. Although this long tract is here and there intersected by streams and rivulets, such as the Lemena, Meduna, Noncello, &c., it nevertheless commands the principal cause ways that serve as highways between Venetia and Illyria, and at the same time the coast line tending to the lagunes of Venice. I should be inclined to say that the small towns of Pordenone, Portogauaro, Motta, Portobuffole, and San Dona, will be selected as headquarters for the com mands of brigades. Fer the rest, nothing is settled as yet, and I am alluding to the matter to let you know the rumours current. Besides, the army has not received any fresh reinforcements. We may accordingly set down its strength at 136,000 men stationed en echelons from Brix= and Labach to Borgoforte and Pola. The fortifications, notwithstanding the cold, are carried on with considerable activity. What an outlay! When we think on all that Austria did in their waste for the defence of Pavia and Piacenza, there is no occason to be alarmed at what she is now doing here. The news from Hungary has raised tA hez:teefmtehnet of the public to a very high pit ch. address from the Comitat of Gran has been sent to the central Congregation with the proper commen tary for bringing into full relief the contrast that exists between the civ ic courage of the Hungarians , and the complaisant su pp leness of those who st yle I themselves the representatives of Venetia, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. " Sir,—Having received information that the State of I Alabama through a Convention representing her sovereignty has adopted and ratified an ordinance by which she with draws from the Union of the United States of America, and resumes the powers heretofore delegated to the Federal Government, it is proper that we should communicate the same to you, and through you to the House of Representa tives over which you preside, and announce our withdrawal from the further deliberations of that body. The causes which, in the judgment of our State, rendered such action necessary we need not relate. It is sufficient to say that duty requires our obedience to her sovereign will, and that we shall return to our homes, sustain her action, and share the fortunes of our people.

In regard d the to Senate, the o on s iti t n h e o f 2 l t s h t, a eab q s u en es t ti se on ari s ing natonfro i m u seceding States, the Vice-President said there was no record of such absence on the journal; he sug gested that the Senate should instruct him' as to whether he should recognise their absence. After debate, the Senate declined to take any action upon the matter, and thus no notice of the withdrawal of the absent senators will appear upon the record. Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, urged the adoption of Crittenden's resolutions. Mr. Dix, Secretary of the Treasury, communi cated to the house an important document in reply to Mr. Sherman, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. It gives the items of the public debt in detail, the amount of the floating debt, the unpaid balances, claims, acceptances and other ac knowledgments of debt by the Government; also, the facts connected with the recent sales • of Trea sury notes, and the amount required to pay the public dues accruing prior to the Ist July, which is estimated at twenty millions, in addition to the revenue and other sources of income. It Oggestb measures to raise the amount, and among other means refers to the surplus revenue deposited with the States in 1836, as a specific fund which might be pledged or recalled. The communication shows the precise condition of the Treasury. Mr. Douglas has prepared an amendment to the constitution, consisting of eight sections, and will offer them a.sa substitute for Mr. Crittenden's reso lutions. Section first provides that Congress shall make no laws in respect to domestic servitude in any territory of the United States, and that all ter ritorial. Governments shall be formed on the model and in the terms of the Compromise Act of 1850 ; that no new territory shall be organised until it has 25,000 white inhabitants, nor no new State admitted until it has the requi site population for a representative to Con gress ; that the Supreme Court shall determine the validity of territorial enactments. Section second declares that Congress shall have ne power to abolish or interfere with slavery either in the States or in anyplace under the exclusive jurisdic tion of the United States, and that Congress shall not have the power to interfere with or prevent the removal of slaves from one state to another. Sec• tion third for ever suppresses the slave trade. See tion fourth gives greater emphasis and efficiency to the claim already in the constitution concerning per sons held to service or labour escaping, &c. Section fifth prohibits the elective franchise and the right to hold office, whether federal, state, territorial, or municipal, to persons of the African race, in whole or in part. Section sixth is in these words :—" The United States shall have power to acquire districts of country in Africa or South America, for the colonisation, at the expen3e of the federal treasury, of such free negroes and mulattoes as the several States may desire to have removed from within their limits, and from the district of Columbia and such other places as may be under the jurisdiction of Congress." The seventh section provides for the payment for fugitives, if the officers in search of them are prevented from doing their duty by vio lence or intimidation, and the eighth section pro vides that the first and second clauses of the first section of the second article of the constitution shall read as follows: The executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America. The president and vice-presi dent shall hold their offices for the term of six years, and shall be ineligible for the office of president for the ensuing six years after having performed the duties of president, and shall be elected as follows :—The legislature of each state, at its first session after any federal census, shall divide said state into as many congressional districts as it shall be entitled to representatives in congress, which dis trict shall be as compact in form and nearly equal in popu • lation as practicable. In each of said districts one elector of president and vice-president shall be chosen by the people thereof having the qualifications requisite for elec tors of representatives in Congress, and in addition two electors for the state at large shall be chosen by the mem bers of the Legislature assembled in joint convention for that purpose, on the day appointed by Congress. On Jan. 22 the Senate of Rhode Island passed an act repealing the Personal Liberty Bill by a ♦ote of 21 to 9. The house, after some discussion, postponed the further consideration of the subject. The capital of the nation had begun to present a military aspect. A company of Flying Artillery from West Point was expected to arrive on Jan. 22. The Government will continue to concentrate troops there until the 4th of March. The New Mexican mail of Dec. 31 had arrived. Major Crittenden's command had a battle with the Indians near Simon Springs, in which 50 Indians were killed, including the notorious chief Santauk. They burnt 100 Indian lodges. None of Major Crittenden's command were even wounded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. v - BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. Our quotations to-day, although rather lengthy, are principally made up from offers.

"Now, it is matter of public notoriety that since that epoch again the samo Royal Navy, always in times of peace, and without any previous declaration of war, has perpetrated veritable acts of warfare on the coasts of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and in the ports of the State of the Holy See . " In the presence of similar deeds, and seeing the prepa rations which are openly made in countries placed tie facto. under the domination of Sardinia for some maritime es.- peditions directed against the coasts of Austria, the Imp e rial Government deem themselves thoroughly justified in their orders issued t o their maritime organs (authorities.) to adopt with resp ec t to Sardinian men-of-war approaching the Austrian coasts some exceptional measures of precaution. The Imperial authorities have, in fact, the order to inti mate to the said vessels the prohibition to enter Austrian ports, and to prevent all communication between the crews of such vessels and the inhabitants of the coast. :E xception was; nevertheless. expressly made in cases of pressi , ag neces sity for unavoidable shelter against storms.
