The decrease in marriage now so noticeable among the most highly civilized peoples of Christendom has for some time excited general attention. Many writers have undertaken to explain the phenome non, but they scarcely satisfy themselves, and cer tainly not their readers. What one advances another contradicts, and the causes given are so numerous, and in many instances contain so much of truth, that people become confused, and are com pelled to acknowledge that though the fact is cer tain, the writer has yet to appear who takes the comprehensive view which carries conviction, and hits the true nail on the head. The ages at which 10,000 bachelors marry are given as under for Eng land and France, 'and for Massachusetts by the Springfield Republican:—. . England. Massachisetts. France Tinder 20 years 277 225 270 20 to 25 Eata 4785 3075 25 to 30 2833 3425 3 96 80 to 35 968 1030 - 1821 35 to 40. 358 321 721 40 to 50 212 144 392 1 over 50 45 70 126 The average, ages are given for the three countries at which all men marry, viz., 2E5.94 in England, 28.41 in. France, and 29.5 - in Massachusetts, which leads to the supposition that there is some error in the com pilation, but it 'maybe accounted for by the table for Massachnsetts being derived from the census for the ten years 1856-65. For the year 1865 the number in Massachusetts out of the ten thousand who mar ried between 20 and 30 only reached 7,955, while the number under 20 was but 192. This shows a considerable decrease from the average of the ten years, wherein the number is stated between the ages of 20 and 30 in Massachusetts to be 8,210 out of Um) tee thousand, 0 4 11 4 225 w 149 married under . .._ Ihihiceeasaenacetuamharteisr:eytDnottvr anywhere areceeoerl else constantly t s ni the age of twenty. These figures show how ra pidly marriage in Massachusetts has decreased. The portion of bachelors who marry in England out of the ten thousand between 20 and 30, is 8,140, and in France only 6,671.

The prospect is such as no thoughtful man can deem otherwise than alarming, and the problem must tax all the ingenuity of the social philosopher to provide a remedy. It is hardly possible to force men to marry against their will, and it is difficult to per suade them. Women would doubtless be found more amenable to reason ; but leap year, unluckily, is honoured more in theory than in practice. And it is after all to the propagation of marriage that we must address ourselves ; the darker evil which we have hinted at above, and against which not even marriage is any safeguard, is from its very nature almost beyond the reach of any influence but the slow and gradual progress of enlightenment and the force of medical and religious teaching. Besides, it is useless to attempt to reform an institution which seems to be in danger of dying out altogether unless the hidden causes which are preying at its roots be discovered and removed." It is the fashion on women ; to point to their extravagance, to their to throw•thuch blarne of thiS-State of things crusade for equal- rights, to the growing taste for refinement, and aversion from the toil and drudgery of rearing a family and keeping up a home. .NOthing can be more unjust and even absurd than these reasons. The mass of women take no interest whatever in the Woman's Rights movement. They are extravagant because fashion makes them so, and men make the fashions. What men admire is what women strive to be, and if they profess to be charmed by " fast" girls, girls will be fast. Marriage is decreasing, not because women will not marry, but because men will not, and men will not marry be cause they think they can procure more happiness in the single state. Steam, by quickening travel, has opened to all sections of a highly civilized state the pleasures of a capital, which, as a general rule, men would be compelled to forego if they encum bered themselves with a wife and family. Such reasons are merely the weeds sprouting on the sur face, but so also is the fact. The decrease is a mere temporary freak of fashion, which, in the end, will correct itself. There are ebbs and flows in the affairs of mankind which we may moralize over as we see the tide running, but the flow continues re gardless of all our wise and profound conjectures till the limit is reached when the current Stops, and pre sently flows back in the same volume, when the philosophers on the bank begin moralizing as pro foundly ou the new phase, predicting either the over population or the depopulation of the globe. It is not long since, that sages raised their warning voice against the improvidence of young people rushing into matrimony, and a well-known writer discussed the means of existence furnished by the globe being overtaken by the superabundant popu The philosopher of the day considers that he can improve upon the relation which binds the sexes. It has not uofrequently been the case that a sacred law his been disputed, and an amendment proposed by wise legislators. It has invariably, however, been found, whatever the force of the theory, that the proposal, in praetk., was a disgraceful failure. To maintain the solemn and sacred nature of the ceremony is a matter of greater and more imme diate interest to women than to men. Whatever leads to immorality —that is, the infringement of the Commandments —leads to the degradation of the human race, and all eventually will suffer alike; but the effects are first felt by women. Nature has pointed out too clearly to be gainsayed that woman's sphere is the house, that the main support of the family in that house must come from the work of the man, and that all laws, human and divine, must be directed to support this proposition. Those who assert a contempt for marriage, for priests, and their useless and binding ceremony, strike at the very foundation s of society. They merely advance a theory which suits their appetite, and would doubtless be convenient foi young men with unre strained passion, while ruinous to young women. It would be found, however, in the long run that even the men would reap a dis agreeable harvest. It is said that clubs work strongly against marriage ; that is, that men there find so agreeable a home, so comfortable and well found an establishment, such a cheap and sumptuous mode of living, that they prefer to enjoy its advantages to the coarser fare with a wife. But what is the experience of the club habitues—of the poor men who have there attempted to suck up all the honey of life? Doubtless it is agreeable so long as youth and health last and pleasure does not pall. Yet we believe that in any great club there will be as little happiness found among the regular old bachelor frequenters as among any community. Were ale career of a young man who married imprudently, and bad to struggle thereafter for the means of ex istence for himself and his family, compared with that of the old bachelor club habitue, who was no more successful in life, the balance would rather incline in favour of the married man. If a London club is remarkable for anything, it is re markable for the number of querulous, objectless, ennuyed old gentlemen it produces; and there are few young men who enter it who would not scout the idea of eventually joining their ranks. Yet it is to this, and to this only, such theories lead. At a meeting a fortnight ago at the Stamford Chapel. Blackfriars, to discuss the subject of Female Suff rage, the president, Professor Fawcett, M.P., said :—" When men and women were put on fair terms of equality the women held their own. Some time since certain reformers at Cam bridge succeeded in having the middle-class exami nations thrown open to girls. What was the result? Why the very men who had opposed the change now acknowledged that the girls who came up fur examination were at least equal to the boys, and if any thing their superiors:" Mr. Moncure D. Conway gave an interesting account of a college at Antioch, United States, where young men and women were educated together. " Both sexes made great pro ficiency in their studies, and he had the authority of the Hon. Horace Mann, and of the piucipal of Harvard, for stating that the morality, courtesy, and refinement exhibited in that college were un equalled by any of the old universities to which only the male sex were admitted. He knew the college well, and he could state that there was an almost entire . absence of that monastic rudeness, bigotry, and vice generally to be found in colleges. In no part of the world did women enjoy so high a position as in the United States. In the States of New York and Massachusetts the teaching was ahnost entirely done by them, and very recently four women had been appointed the principal commissioners of education in the latter State." We sympathize with the movement so far as it tends to open to women every walk of life for which they are qualified. Women ought to have as free a chance as men ; but we cannot sympathize with it where it tends to militate against woman's depend ence which must form the groundwork of the con nection between the sexes. If men cease to marry, to rear, and to support families, there is nothing we would like better to see than an invasion of every profession and a strong competition by women. In fact this must be the consequence; for it would be grossly absurd to say that man is to abandon his duty and still retain to himself all the loaves and fishes. Where a man is successful in life we hold it to be his first duty to take unto himself a wife and to share with her that success. But if he declines, the sooner women invade his preserves, and if they have - the ability assert their own right to the posi tion, the better. The one movement is the natural sequence of the other, and if a majority of the girls are compelled to remain - angle, circumstance must . Thn third fay of the Chester 3f.t.eting was favoured by the same glor. ms weather which prevailed on Tuesday and yesterday, and there was a remarkably good attend ance for a.n " off-day." Lacing commenced at half-past one with the Stamford Welter Handicap, which was won brack Turpiu, who only arrived on the spot on Wednesday evening. He was made a great favourite /./1 the course and all over the country. Knight of the Gartt bad no difficulty in conceding the wright be was calle J upon to do in the Handicap Plate, fur which he aas o ?- posed by Freemason, Distaff, and the Attack colt. ball served up a hot favourite fur the Two-year, aid Place in Good Hope, who, however, never showed p co minently in the race, which was reduced to a ma'ach between La Rose and Perfume, the latter of whom won rather cleverly. The winner added an , Ther feather to the cap of Buccaneer, and every day me bear fresh regrets that he was allow ad to leave this country, to which, however, it is proF able he will return, if money will purchase him from the Germans.

The facts of the case, as brought.out in the evidence for the prosecution, were ,-these : — Ateutenant and inspector of police havingreison to believe that a large quantity of gunpowder was lying in •darricrs quarters belonging to the defender, visited these Ainarters, and found in one part of a shed twenty barrels, .rld in another four barrels of powder, the whole amonnt ii3g to about 6)31b. Tile barrels were marked " gun •powder," and were lying among other goods. For the ;fence it it was stated that Mr. M'Kendrick though -the • !evant of the carriers' quarters where the gunpowder was :found, had sub let stances to carriers conveying goods -to and from Cl s w and neighbouring towns ; that the -twenty-four barreli were in these stances, had only been - there for three quarters of an hour when. the police seized - them, and were intended to be taken away that day to LLarkhall, Carluke, and Kilbirnie by the carriers going to obese districts. Mr. J. L. Lang, who appeared for the defender, ana sited that he had received instructions from Messrs. Hay, Afe.ricks, and Co., and Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, the owners of the gunpowder, urged —(lst), that WiCendrick was not the real occupier of the premises, hiving sublet the stances to carriers, and that in point of law these carriers were in possession of the barrels ; (2nd), that the goods being in transitu, not " held" in store, the 213th clause of the Art, and not the 210th, should have been cited ; aad (3rd), that the owners of the gunpowder not being before the wart, it would be a monstrous iniquity to forfeit their Property without ai.ving them a chance of defend• ing it. . After consultation, the conrt sirated that they had bee* advised/ by the assessor .(2.fr. P. 7'. Young) that the de fender was the occupier of the premises in the true mean. ing of the Act ; that the proper clause had been cited, in. ssmucTi as the 213th only applied to gunpowder being con veyed to or from the magazine ; and that it was within their I sower, and was their duty, to forfeit the barrels and their contents, whether the actual owners of the property were i n court or not. The evidence, however, shelved that Air. M'Kendrick had been placed in an unfortunate position without his knowl e d ge o f th e c i rcumstance, anz, the court thought that the modified penalty of 215., Or tweraw-one days' imprisonment would serve the ends of justice. The gunpowder would, of course, be forfeited. Lir. Lang intimated an appeal. The King of Portugal has conferred upon Sit Zan Bowring the Cross of a Knight Commander of the Order of Christ, as a public testimony to his merits and Services.

He has seen Whelan in gaol, and identified him. La Croix is an ignorant French man, although he tells a straightforward and connected story. At the time of the occurrence he concealed hinmelf in a doorway, fearing that Whelan might discover him and shoot him. Since that time he has been afraid tsi . speak about the matter for fear of getting into trouble.'

FitIGIITFUL DEATH. —Dr. Lankoster has held. ... inquest at the Boston Arras, Junction-road, Hollo• v..ay, on the body of Mr. William Cornelius Jourdain; aged 62, who up to the time of his death, on the 4th inst., resided at 8, Junction-villas, Junction-road. The circumstances of his death are very singular. The re latives of the deceased state that on the 27th ult. the Deceased went into the Kentish-town station of the North London Railway ; that the train which he wanted to proceedby arrived, but overshot the station a little, and then backed. He went into a second-class compartment, but finding it was a smoking carriage, he got out and was entering another carriage, when the station-master seizea him. The train was not then moving, but it immediately started, and although he could have easily got into the car, riage, the station -master clung to him. The train proceeded, and finally, in the struggle, both fell between the carriages and the platform, the station -master uppermost. They were dragged along some distance together, but being brought in contact with a step they were separated, and the plat. form being a hollow one the station-master escaped with the loss of a part of his coat. The train was then stopped, and when deceased was picked up he was found to be seriously injured. He was taken to his house, where he died from the injuries he had received. The station• master, in giving his evidence, stated that he had seen all the passengers who were going on safely seated, and then veve the signal to start. The train commenced to move, when the deceased jumped out of a smoking carriage, and running past a first-class carriage opened the door of a second-class carriage. The train was then going at a gDod speed. The deceased attempted to get in, but slipped, and fell with his legs dangling between the train and the platform, and holding on to the rail of the door by one hand. Witness had shouted to warn deceased, but when he saw what had happened he blew his whistle for the train to stop, and running to the assistance of deceased, caught hold of him and told him to leave his hold of the rail, but be would not do so, and, catching held of wit ness's coat, dragged him along with him down between the carriage and the platform. After listening to these conflicting statements, the jury adjourned for the purpose ; if possible, of obtaining further evidence.
