Glasgow, November 11,1847. A E. M One half the world are desolately single, and the ether supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comproeing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to doraestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligkted hopes or neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the Iblfilment of several conditions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in hew 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 thetenstitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, en the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contai ns as accurate an d complete account of the Anatomytheir relative and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of e c l os est in health and disease.

Rowland, and which, from their merits and re putation, are the constant objects of fraudulent imita tion. The parties so counterfeiting concoct some trashy compounds resembling in appearance the preparations of Messrs. Rowland, and by adopting the very same names and copying the labels, bills, &c. &c. endeavour to pass them off as the " GENUINE ;" reckless of the injury which they will inevitably inflict on those who are de ceived into using them. We would therefore advise all patrons of Messrs. Rowlands' articles, to purchase only of respectable venders—and particularly to observe the Caution in their advertisements which frequently appear in our paper. BANKRUPTS.

On Monday the section of the Amiens and Boulogne Railway, extending between Abbeville and Neufchatel, was opened to the public. The event is one of immense importance to the public on both sides of the Channel, as the opening of this section greatly facilitates and shortens the communication between the two countries. Neufchatel, the temporary terminus of the railway, is within six miles of Boulogne, and with that exception the railway and steam communication between London and l'ari.3 is now complete. Between Boulogne and Neufchatel there are numerous omnibuses and other carriages which, at a trifing charge, carry passengers to the terminus of the line in about three-quarters of an hour. The arrangements between the French and English Post-offices for the transmission of the mail twice a day between the capitals of the two countries, not coming into operations till the Ist of January next, the railway arrangements between Paris arid Boulogne are for the present necessarily temporary. There are, however, three regular trains already established each way. Tra vellers leaving Boulogne reach the temporary terminus of the railway at Neufchatel in three-quarters of an hour; and within eight hours from that time they find themselves in Paris. The first train leaves Neufchatel at eight o'clock in the morning, and arrives at Paris at half past three in the afternoon; the second leaves at a quarter before three in the afternoon, and arrives in Paris at twenty minutes past ten at night, and the third (the mail train) leaves Neufchatel at fire minutes past nine o'clock at night, and reaches Paris at five o'clock in the morning. Prom Paris the trains leave for Bou logne at eight o'clock in the morning, one o'clock inthe afternoon, and seven o'clock in the evening (the mail train), and arrive at Boulogne at a quarter to five in the afternoon, nine o'clock in the evening, and half-past four in the morning. After the Ist of January the arrange ments will be necessarily changed. From that day forth one mail will leave Boulogne, and another leave Calais for Dover, and no doubt additional trains will then be established between Neufchatel and Paris. There was no inangurative fête at the opening of the line on Monday, that ceremony being postponed till the completion of the line. Mr. Blount and Mr. Lewis Cu bit; two of the directors, went on Sunday over the whole line to see that the arrangements were completed, and on Monday the trains began to ply with as much regu• laxity and absence of confusion as if the line had been at work for years. The line is throughout in excellent order. It is expected that the short section between Neuf chatel and Boulogne will be opened about the end of March. Some unexpected difficulties which have oc curred in the formation of the tunnel near Boulogne are the cause of the delay. But for that the whole line would have been open at the present time. Even as it is, however, the Boulogne and A m i ens R a il way b r i ngs London and Paris within little more than twelve hours' journey of each other. [PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The royal screw-yacht Fairy, under the command of the Right lion. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., Captain, R.N., pro c:eded this afternoon to Cowes with the Queen and Court, as detailed elsewhere. The Belleisle, 72, troop ship, Captain J. Kingcome, sailed this afternoon with the 69th Regiment for Malta. Rear-Admiral Phipps Hornby, with his family and suite, proceeded yesterday, on their arrival at this port, to the Portland Hotel, Southsea. To-morrow morning, at eight o'clock, the Admiral will hoist his flag on board the Asia, 84, at Spithead, as the Commander-in-Chief on the Pacific station. vice Sir George Seymour, whose term of command has expired. The Firefly steam-sloop, having undergone a thorough refit, was removed from the basin to day, and the tide hying unusually high, advantage was taken thereof to get the Terrible steam-frigate in, which was accom plished apparently without much trouble or difficulty. It is expected her copper will be repaired and she will be undocked to. night. The Undine steam-vessel, Master Commander Allen, returned from Dover at 11 o'clock last night. The Kite steam-vessel, Commander Dumarevque, ar rived from Jersey this morning, having, we are in formed, been ashore on some rocks in that neighbour hood. The Madagascar Indiaman passed by this port to-day, and landed mails from St. Helena, dated October 11. The Hamoaze, navy lighter, sailed with victualling stores for Deptford this day. Wind N.W.; moderate breezes; weather fine. REMOVAL OF THE COURT TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. This morning, at 11 o'clock, her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the whole of the Royal Family took the rail at the Farnborough -station of the South-Western Railway, and proceeded, without stopping, to this port en route to Osborne House, Isle of Wight, for a short sojourn of about ten days. The royal suite comprised the Marchionesss of Douro, the Hon. Miss Cavendish, Miss Hillyer ;(governess to the royal children), Lord Alfred Paget, Major • General Bowles, Lieutenant-Colonel Phipps, and the lion. Captain Gordon. Her Majesty was received in the Clarence-yard by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief; Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, G.C,H., the Lieutenant-Governor and Staff; Rear-Admiral Shirreff, Captain Superintendent Sir W. E. Parry, R.N. ; Mr. Cornelius Stovin, manager, and other chiet officers of the South-Western Railway Company; Mr. R. W. Stevens; Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence; Colonel Aslett, Royal Marines; Flag Lieutenant Cochrane, R.N.; the officers of the Clarence-yard, and a guard of honour of the Royal Marine Artillery, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel D. A. Gibsone, Captain Tate, Lieutenants Draffen and Bastable, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Lawrence. The usual ceremonies were observed, and at half-past twelve o'clock the Fairy, under the command of Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, glided out of harbour for Cowes, under salutes from the Victory, Asia, Excellent, Belle isle, and platform. FLANDERS MAIL. OSTEND, Nov. 22.—For three days, great anxiety was entertained here respecting the fate of three mails from England, which have been expected in port since last Wednesday evening. The storms which have prevailed along the coast of Ostend, as well as along the English shores, occasioned their detention, and all three arrived together the evening before last. BRUSSELS, Nov. 22.—T0-day, at noon, the deputa tion of the Chambers had the honour of presenting to the King the address adopted yesterday by the Assembly, in reply to the speech from the throne. His Majesty afterwards left Brussels for Ardennes, attended by M. Con way. CON3TANTINOPLE, NOV. 3.—THE CHOLERA.—AS yet the cholera has not made much progress. Several cases, indeed, are reported, but only three or four have been confirmed. It is impassible to give an accurate account either of the number of cases or of deaths, for in mat ters of this kind the greatest disorder and irregularity prevails here. That the pestilence has not spread, may be mainly attributed to the early setting in of the winter, which has checked the predisposition to disease which manifested itself a few weeks ago. The disease has this summer re-appeared in Persia, as we have already stated. It prevails now in Khoi and Saurns, as well as Zingnien, Shiraz, Bendertushier, and Tzerbeidshaw. It is likewise said to be in Ispahan, and great apprehen sions are entertained of it in Teheran. The heat is said to have been unusually great this summer in Persia, but the harvest was fine. During the night of the 6th Sep tember, at about a quarter before one, there was a severe shock of an earthquake, which lasted eight seconds. At the fire of the barracks at Scutari several soldiers have lost their lives ; the damage is estimated at from five to eight million piastres. It is not known how the fire originated ; it is t,enerally supposed to be from care lessness, though many persons affirm that it was the work of an incendiary. That all the guards slept is more than probable. A very rigorous investigation is being made, and several supreme officers are said to have been called upon to give account ; two generals, a major. and a colonel have become mad in consequence, and they will probably remain so till the investigation is over and the matter forgotten. A company has been formed here to effect a speedy conveyance between Stamboul and Adrianople ; a few weeks since the elegant carriages which the company had received from Paris began running. But a heavy rain had fallen, and at the second or third time the carriage remained sticking fast in the mud. The trifling fact bad been overlookea that, in order to ride in comfort in Turkey, it is indispensable not merely to have elegant European carriages, but good European roads. BERLIN, Nov. 19.—PAPAL BULL—A bull of Pius VII , entitled, "De , Salute Animarum," which regulated the Roman Catholic affairs in Russia, established (in concert with the Government, which at that time in serted it in the Bulletin de lois), that the dotation of the Catholic clergy in Russia should be raised from the forest belonging to the States. This promise has not hitherto been fulfilled, notwithstanding the solicitations of Pope . Gregory VII. The present Pope has brought the question forward again. He has addressed a pressing demand to the Prussian Cabinet on the subject, and the Prinee Archbishop of Breslau has been charged to con duct this affair as Pontifical Commissioner. It is thought that the King of Prussia is unfavourable to the demand of the Pope. BERLIN, Nov. 19.—POLISH TRIALS.—Nearly all the counsel who had come to Berlin for the purpose of de fending the accused Poles have left our capital, where their presence is no longer needed. Many strangers also have left, although all are looking forward to the expiration of the next fortnight with the greatest pos sible interest; the sentences will then be passed upon which the fate and happiness of many will depend.

BRAZIL MAIL. RIO DE JANEIRO, OCT. 1, 1847.—REVIEW OF THE MARKETS FROM 17TH TO 30TH SEPT. - Business has been very restriced as regards imports. The sales of Coffee have been to a fair extent, and the transactions in exchange have been considerable. IMPORTS.—The arrivals with merchandise consist of vessels with assorted cargoes:-5 coals ; 3 dry goods ; 1 flour; 2 flour and dry goods ; 4 flour and sundries ; 2 hides ; 1 surnter and sundries ; 4 salt; 4 wine and sundries. EXPORTS.—Coffee—After the arrival of the packet the market began to give way, and prices declined 100 a 150 rois. and at reduced quotations some important transac tions occurred. The total sales of the month may be estimated at about 140,000 bags. HlDES.—Arrived: 7,600 Rio Grande; 5,400 River Plate market day, and sales limited to 7,000 of the former sorts, and of the stock 54,000 Rio Grande, 50,000 River Plate.

MONEY MARKET.—For specie prices are generally lower, and the markets very dull.—Rio Mercantile Jour nal, Oct. 2. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—There is no pro• bability that her Majesty and the Cuurt will leave Osborne before the last week in December. The extensive architec tural ornaments, and the planting of many thousand trees, which have been delayed until now, that they may have the benefit of royal supervision, will alone occupy a fortnight or three weeks. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The whole of the works upon this line, now completed as far as Bangor, will be inspected this week by Mr. H.

The royal suite consisted of the Marchioness of Douro, Lady in waiting, a Maid of Honour in waitinz, Colonel the lion. C. B. Phipps, Major-General Bowles, Lord Alfred Puget, and Captain the Hon. A. IL Gordon. The august party occupied four carriages and four, and was escorted by a detachment of the Royal Regi ment of Horse Guards, commanded by the Hon. Lewis 0. Grant, Her Majesty and her Royal Consort were conducted to their carriage by the Earl of Listowel, Lord in wait ing, and Major the lion.

Edward Strutt, at the office of the Commissioners of Railways, at the Board of Trade. BANKRUPTCY and INSOLVENCY LAWS. 7'O 7HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your report of the speech which you attri butt to me at the meeting held )esterday at the London Tavern, on the subject of the bankrupt-laws, I Lind the following passage. —" The learned gentleman expressed his disapproval of the present law, and strongly approved of arrest at the instance of the Court of Bankruptcy, because it was prompt, silent, and sure. The seizure of property was often attended with expense and difficulty, but the seizure of the body was alwa)s safe, because every creditor knew his debtor." You will, I am sure, be equally sorry and surprised to learn that in attributing the expression of those senti ments to me you have been grossly imposed upon. I made no allusion whatever to the law of arrest, nor to the seizure of person or property. Not only is every line, butevery syllable, and every letter of the passage, a pure invention; nor do I believe that any such trash was uttered by any one else at the meeting. No such passage is to be found in the reports of any of the morn ing papers, and it seems difficult to suppose that the misrepresentation can be accidental. I take it for granted, therefore, that you have been imposed upon : I feel the more annoyed at having such opinions im puted to me, inasmuch as they are directly opposed to those I enter tain. I decidedly object to the restoration of the power of arrest as exercised under the old system, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Reform Club, Nov. 23. M. FORSTER. [By the accidental transposition of a few lines of the report is question, an abstract of a letter from Mr. Com missioner Fane, which was read at the meeting, found its way into the speech of the Hon. Member for Hull. We may remark that our reporter, owing to the insuf ficient accommodation provided at the meeting for the press, was compelled to frame his report standing on a side-board close to the door, and with his back to the speakers. Had the entire report been incorrect instead of correct, as it is throughout, some excuse might have been claimed for it on this ground.] THE Two DOUBLE RETURNS.—At a meeting held at Manchester, on Monday evening, it was announced that Mr. Cobden had elected to sit as representative of the West Riding, and that Mr. C. Villiers, with many ex pressions of grateful acknowledgment to the electors of South Lancashire, declined to desert his former consti tuents of Wolverhampton. Writs will accordingly be issued for new elections for South Lancashire and Stockport. TowN AND COUNTRY.—Mrs. Trollope's new novel "Town and Country," just published, is said to be a remark able exposition of fashionable life in the gallant days of the Prince Regent, in which the writer, with the graphic talent that has made many of her previous works so popular, has introduced some remarkable incidents, the scene of which is laid at the Brighton Pavilion. These pictures of a private circle, perhaps the most exclusive ever known in society, can scarcely fail of rendering " Town and Country " one of the most attractive of the author's productions. RESTORATION OF THE HAIR.—To Messrs. A Rowland and Son, 20, llatton-garden, London. Linton, Cambridge, October 25, 1847. Gentlemen,—A striking in stance of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil in the restora tion of the hair has just come under my notice. The person alluded to is a young man named Haylock, of Ashdon, near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac countable means. He purchased of me several different popular preparations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effecting the least apparent change. At last I advised him to try a bottle of your Macassar Oil; and, on Friday last, he communicated to me the pleasing intelli gence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair. You can make what use you please of this, and refer any in quirers to yours respectfully, J. Sergeant, bookseller, &c. *.* Beware of Spurious Imitations !—The words " Row land's Macassar Oil " are on the wrapper of each genuine bottle. Sold at 20, Hatton-garden, London, and by Che mists and Perfumers. • On Tuesday, the 23d instant, a General Assembly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Trafalgar-square, for the purpose of electing b a Secretary and a Professor of Painting, both offices n vil t y J h Press • tt the death of Henry Howard, Esq.,whenand Knight, Esq., R.A., was unanimously ele cted .

A CLERGYMAN OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND HOLLOWAY'S OINTJENT AND PILLS.—A benevolent pastor, residing in Belfast (whose name is withheld by his own desire) was applied to by a poor woman of his pa rish who had been afflicted for four years with an awfully bad leg with sixteen wounds, and so extr e m e ly pa i nful, that she could not place her foot on the ground. Feel ing for her poverty and sufferings, this humane gentle man presented her with a supply of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which soundly healed her leg in about file • weeks, although she had b een i n the Dublindijospital for seven months, and h a d consu l ted several Ireland.—Sold by all druggists, nd at InYrol2lsonarelnlcidn a - loway's establishment, 244 , Strand, London.

DUBLIN, Nov. 22.—N0 further murders or very seri ous outrages are announced in the accounts from the provinces, to day. There is, however, a very alarming account of the state of the county of Sligo, where, ac cording to the Sligo Champion, some of the principal gentry have been served with threatening notices. Letters, received this day from Nenagh, state that there are no hopes of the recovery of Mr. R. Bayly, recently fired at by assassins. All the worst symptoms had set in. There is no positive confirmation of the murder of the sub-agent of the Marquis of Ormonde, at Kilcash, county of Tipperary, on Tuesday last; but, unfortunately, there is no ground to doubt the intelligence already communicated. The Duke of Modena has issued an edict against all assemblages of the people. This edict orders all offences of leze-majesty committed by any such assemblages to be tried before a court-martial, encourages informers by pro mising secrecy and rewards, and punishes concealment with imprisonment and exile. DEATH OP THE ELECTOR OF HESSE.—At half past twelve, on the 20th instant, his Royal Highness William 11., Elector of Hesse, departed this life at Frank fort, after a few days illness.
