M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
.upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
if caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
amprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
trid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
snd 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 weond more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
;hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CLILVERWELL'S little
.IEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
fach (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
hem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
or the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
:hey are offered as antagonistic M the empyrical trash put forth en
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
'ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
title publications claim your attention (same price le. each,
by post ls. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
onfnphlets, 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-
fervance 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
rn the " sunny side of the way." The above works nay be had of

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.

From the introduction to this first number of a
" new series " we learn that the Eclectic Review has
been in existence about forty-four years. Such
longevity in a periodical is an almost indubitable
proof of excellence. Indeed, we can hardly wonder
at the long continuance of this review when we have
perused some of the paragraphs of this preface, which,
be it remembered, are of a retrospective, not of a pro-
spective character. The editor does not say
he will do such and such things ; he
tells us he has advocated almost every liberal mea-
sure and every necessary reform which has been
agitated during the last half century—such as
Catholic Emancipation, the Abolition of Slavery,
and the Repeal of the Corn-laws, &c., &c.
"It has been no question with the editor," he tells us,
" whether such advocacy would be profitable or not.
He has never stopped to propose the inquiry. His
duty has respected truth, and he has endeavoured
fearlessly and with fidelity to utter it. In the de-
partment of general politics he is unfettered by party
connexion. Here, as in literature, philosophy, and
religion, he is an Eclectic." Furthermore, he lays
down as a rule of this review that "it contemplates
great changes in the political structure of society,
but is content to approach them step by step." One of
.
the most important articles this number of the
Eclectic is the first—the "Picture of a Nomination
Borough—Stamford."

ITALY.

The interview which has taken place between Pope
Pius IX. and the Envoy from the King of SARDINIA
appears to give promise of the speedy restoration of
the PONTIFF to his temporary throne in the Eternal
City. In reference to this interview :the Pensiero
Italiano, of the 29th ult., contains the following, dated
Gaeta, 23d:—
"Count Martini, the Sardinia!? Envoy, has presented
his credentials to the Pope. He is said to have assured
his Holiness, in the name of King Charles Albert, that
the necessary measures would be shortly adopted to
reinstate him in his temporal power. Count Martini
afterwards sent orders to Count Della Marmora, his Se-
cretary, to close the Piedmontese Legation at Rome, and
join him at Gaeta."
Accounts from Rome of the 26th state that the
Provincial Government had appointed M. PESCAN-
TINI Special Charge d'Affaires of the Roman Govern-
ment to the Tuscan Cabinet.
The Alba of the 28th ult. announces that disturb-
ances took place the night before in Florence.
Several individuals were arrested, and tranquillity
was ultimately restored.
On the 31st inst. the Piedmontese Gazette contained
a protest, addressed to the Foreign Powers, by M.
GI( BERTI, the President of the Sardinian Cabinet,
against the violation of the armistice by the
Austrians.

TURKE
Accounts from the Turkish frontier to the 16th of
January describe that country as enjoying the most
perfect quiescence. Even Albania and Kurdistan—
generally so turbulent and refractory—are among
the most tranquil of all the provinces obedient to the
Porte. Bosnia has declined to participate in any
manner in the movements of the Moldavians and
Wallachians ; and Tema EACIIA, by his resolute
bearing, preserves and consolidates this system of
subordination,

FINANCIAL REFORM.—Mr. William Ray Smee on
the Extension of the Income•tax, whilst showing the
evils that arise to all classes by the present system of
taxing commodities, proves that if all the taxes on beer
were removed, and an equitable system of brewing and
selling beer established, the came alp that is now usually
sold for sixpence per qua. t wouti be twopence halfpenny,
Harrington, Esq., is appointed a member of
the Executive Council at New Brunswick.

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.

The number of this magazine for the present
month does not contain as many original papers as
usual, but we have the pleasure to perceive this de-
ficiency counterbalanced by very able literary notices
of several new works on important and interesting
subjects. It opens with a well-written commentary
on a work by James Fergusson, architect, entitled
"An Historical Inquiry into the True Principles of
Beauty in Art, more especially in reference to Archi-
tecture"—a work which, though deformed somewhat
by the vanity and eccentricity of the author, yet cone
tains "substantially new views, and will reward the
reader honestly desirous of instruction, who takes up
this remarkable production of a very remarkable
man." The next paper is " The Cross on the Snow
Mountains ; a Scandinavian Tale," a most agreeable
composition, full of wild and intense beauty. The
next is a notice of an interresting narrative, by Mr.
Borrer, entitled "The Kabylie of Algeria." .The
first part of the book is a lively and graphic journal
of a six weeks' campaign against the Kabyles
of Algeria, a tribe inhabiting the mountain
barrier between Algiers and Constantine. The se-
cond part details the hazardous adventure of M.
Suchet, the Vicaire-General of Algeria, who volun-
teered to go alone in search of the camp of Abd-el-
Kader, for the purpose of treating with him about an
exchange of prisoners, and who, having accomplished
his object, returned in safety. The third and con-
cluding part of the book describes Mr. Borrer's ride
through Constantine. The next is a very able and
sensible paper on the present state of Italy, entitled ,
" Italy and the Italian Questions." Next is a notice
of "Aytoun's Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers." The
extracts from these lays are indeed graphic, bold, and
natural, and place Mr. Aytoun in the first rank as a
writer of ballad poetry. Next is a very ably written
comment on an article in the Times newspaper of the
4th January, on the Irish Poor-law, under the head
of " The Times and the New Irish Poor-law." The
other papers are, a continuation of " Ceylon and the
Cingalese," as usual graphic, amusing, and instruc-
tive. This paper closes with a list of English
Governors of Ceylon, from 1796 to 1848 ; " The
Political Tracts of Menenius," a volume containing
some singularly able papers, lately published, on the
political state of Ireland; "Life and Letters of the
Poet Campbell ;" and "France—the Inauguration of
1849." Altogether, the readers of this magazine
will find in the present number an intellectual ban-
quet, rich and varied.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The Metropolitan Magazine for February contains
several very interesting articles. Among the number
are Mrs. Tinsley's " Storm and Conflict," " The
Grande Fête de la Fraternite of the National Guard
of Paris," "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment," by that
entertaining writer, N. Hawthorne, " A Biography
of John Fransham," and some beautiful pieces of
versification.—The Sporting Review contains an ani-
mated scene from a steeple-chase---" Nobody names
the Winner"—in which four horses and riders are re-
presented in four very perilous positions. The second
plate in the Sporting is a representation of" Pike fishing."
Among the literary contents is a glimpse of " Tatter-

THE MIRROR.

The Mirror for this month contains a number of
interesting articles, which want of space alone pre-
vents us from noticing more at large. We would
particularly recommend, however, the continuation of
Mr. P. B. St. John's " Adventures of a French Re-
publican," " Music : its Rise and Progress," and the
paper on " Financial Reform," as more especially
worth of perusal.

TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND.
" No. 208, Piccadilly, London, October 19, 1847.
" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced rue to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they preyed very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
which I have bad no return of the complaint.

" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICHAEL NASMYTH."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
er present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They
are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact,
such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.

Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe

TAIT.

Mr. George Gilfillan would be the most amusingly
impertinent critic if his dogmatism did not become
absolutely intolerable. He can contrive no other
means of puffing Mr. Thomas Aird into a belief of
his immortality, than by sneering at Mrs. Hemans s
poems and at Miss Landon's " musical maudlin."
Nor is this all the absurdity that can be found in the
two supercilious pages of letter-press he has introduced
into the February number of Tait. Speaking of

of literary insolence. The crime which has sub-

ButeGilfillan

monu-
ment to which we have referred. One of the reasons
given by the illustrious novelist is simply that there
are " many greater than Cowper to whom no such
monuments have been erected." That the reason
is valid must be sufficiently clear, so long
as we look in vain through Poets' Corner for a tablet
to either Byron, or Coleridge, or Shelley, or to twenty
others that we could enumerate. But no; Mr. Gil-
fillan is obtuse enough not to recognise the force of
this objection, and irritable enough to throw mud in
the face of Mr. Dickens because, forsooth, that gen-
tleman presumes to differ with him in regard to the
estimate of Mr. Cowper's intellect. The spleen of
his remarks resembles the spitefulness of a chamber-
maid. " The Task," he exclaims, " will outlive the
Haunted Man." Then say we, God help the
" Haunted Man !" Viewing the matter seriously,
however, it must be evident to every one who takes
the trouble to read Mr. Gilfillan'd very self-sufficient
observations in the present magazine, that the
wretched little sneer we have just quoted was expressly
intended to wound the feelings of Mr. Dickens. Mr.
Gilfillan is, nevertheless, vastly mistaken if he
imagines himself of sufficient importance to excite any

story of " Lewis Arundel" contains a very beautiful
incident of the mutual affection of a dog and his
master, which incident, we are told, actually occurred.
Sharpe's, as usual, contains two steel engravings, and
a variety of useful and amusing papers.—The new
number of Mr. Knight's beautiful work, The Land
We Live In, gives a pen-and-ink and pictorial
glimpse of Exeter. The frontispiece is of peculiar
excellence.—The most valuable page in the Farmer's
Magazine is a diagram which shows the fluctuations
in the average price of wheat during the year 1848.—
The London Journal and Repertory of Inventions, and
the Patent Journal severally preserve the valuable
characteristics for which we have already commended
them. In similar terms we may:dismiss the Follet,
the Colonial Church Chronicle, and the Ethnological
Journal. The second number of Frank Fairlegh
contains two of George Cruikshank's capital illus-
trations. The representation of " Mad Bess" and her
rider suspended in the air above a yawning chasm
foeibly recalls to us the last terrible scene of the

to decide on the gender of a noun.

MEMORANDA ON POISONS. By T. 11.
Tanner, MD., late Rouse Physician to King's
College Hospital.
Under the modest title of " Memoranda," and in
the smallcspace of sixty-four 18mo. pages, Dr. Tanner
has given us more really useful information on the
subject of poisons and their remedies than is to be
found in many works of much greater pretension on
the subject of Toxicology. We can confidently re-
commend this little manual as the best extant on the
subject of which it treats. It should be considered as
necessary a component of the " Surgery" library as
the Conspectus, or the Dispensatory.

On the 26th of March the armistice will be ter-
minated unless a further prolongation should be
decided upon. At all events, on the 26th of Febru-
ary the notification must be made. The Fly ve-
posten will not hear of any prolongation of the
armistice, even if its powers should desire it. War or
peace must be decided upon.

matically planned rise in North Schleswig; but
deprecates isolated and planless attempts. A decided
general passive resistance is in his opinion the best.
The Diet has accepted Articles 26 to 32 of the
`Fehr-law,Owith some modifications—for example,
that no soldier can be made an officer's servant against
his will. This amendment had been put by LUTTI-
CHAN, and carried by 60 against 58. The expenses
of the Diet, up to this time, have been from 48,000 to
50,000 rix dollars—namely, 34,000 for the Members,
and 5,000 for the printing of the protocols. The
journals of the capital declare that the assertion
made by the correspondent of the Borsenhalle, that
the Danes were at the bottom of the affair of Brons,
is an infamous falsehood.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

OLD COURT:
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman CARDEN.)
William Walters, an omnibus driver, was indicted for
stealing three pair of gloves, a handkerchief, and a
measure, the property of Henry Parry.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, who
is a certificated attorney practising at Deptford, that he
went to the White Hart public-house in London-street,
Greenwich, on the 7th of November last. He took off
his coat, according to his custom, on entering the house,
and on leaving between two and three in the morning he
missed it, and on search being made it was found in the
taproom. The articles in question, he said, were in
the pocket when he took off the coat, but on it being re
turned to him he found that they had been taken out.
The prisoner assaulted him when he left the house, and
completely covered him with flour, and for this assault
he gave him into custody. He had no idea that the
articles were stolen by the prisoner, but on being
searched at the station• house they were found upon him.
Several witnesses were called for the defence, from
whose evidence it appeared that there was a "regular
row" in the coffee-room at the time of the occurrence,
with respect to the payment for some punch which the
company had been drinking. The prosecutor got very
excited, took off his coat to fight, jumped upon a table,
and struck with a cane a respectable old gentleman, old
enough to be his father. One witness said that having
been called by the landlady to resue a girl from the row,
he went into the coffee-room, and found three or four
gentlemen lying on the top of each other at the door,
evidently engaged in a scuffle. This witness also said
that the prisoner, before he was taken into custody, took
the articles alleged to have been stolen out of his rocket
anti showed them to him, saying that he had found them
on the floor in front of the bar, and supposed they had
been dropped by some one in the scuffle.
The witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent
character.
The RECORDER said, in summing up, that there had
been no direct defence by the prisoner to the charge,

THEATRE ROYAL LYCEUM.

A new farce, entitled Drop the Curtain, was pro-
duced last night at this elegant theatre. The plot
was amusing, and afforded scope for very many highly
comic situations, of which the artists ably availed
themselves. Charles Mathews acted a drunken soldier
to perfection, and elicited much laughter from the
audience. Mrs. Humby threw great spirit into a
meagre character. Oxberry acted and looked a
drummer so minute that Mrs. Hamby, on one occa-
sion, carried him across the stage. Miss Kenworthy,
Mr. Granby, and Mr. F. Cooke did full justice to
their parts. To say that. the piece was produced at
the Lyceum is to say that it was put on the stage
with taste and elegance. The house was well at-
tended, and other entertainments followed which have
already received the stamp of public approbation.
The management are exerting themselves to produce
novelties, and we see another announced for this
evening.

1/1 A it IS I A E.
One halt 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-
Isitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end 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

terms of conciliation to the Ministers, but which the
latter always refused; and that a Centre gauche was
formed in order to pursue a course moderate, but not
servile, which was considered necessary for the wants
of the country. The Ministry, however, dissolved
