thing necessary for carrying on a first-rate business. This Restau-

A 8 R I A G E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the other
tapposing them married, questionably contented. Dialdence, or a
sense of right _determine the former, and miscalculatel hopes em-
V,tter 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 er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmisss concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. In 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
retried, cr prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hl .tiered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
!hem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
far the closet perusal of those more 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
ogether, are a disgrace to the ago. Furthermore, two other
Ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pam Iblets, tut equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life Ash) owes his present existence, health, and position to this oh-
servan ;a 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
an the tunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH.
WOOLWICU, MAY 17.—Lieutenant-General Sir Thos.
Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., Commandant of the Garrison,
and a large party, assembled at the Butt in the Royal
Arsenal, at two o'clock P.M. to-day, to witness the prac-
tice of the two•gun battery recently erected there, it
having stood remarkably well when fired
from. Six rounds of 24 pounder shot were
fired at 80 yards' distance from a 24 pounder gun,
mounted on a field carriage. The first round was directed
against the centre of the battery, betwixt the two embra-
sures, and the solid shot entered the material to the dis.

tance of 14 inchf,s displacing the surrounding material
to a diaweter of rather more than two feet, and throwing
out large rie;...es and thousands of small fragments to a
considerable distance to the rear of the gun from which
the shot was fired ; or.e of the pieces struck Lifute-
nant-Colonel English in the arm, cutting the sleeve of
his coat, and causing much pain. Another of the frag-
ments, about the size of a lien's egg, struck ono of the
gunners, who was considerably in the rear of the
gun, in the thigh, and he appeared to suffer much
for some time, but did not leave the ground. The se-
cond round was dirt cted against the south side of the
south embrasure, and made an indentation to

the extent of fourteen inches, displacing a
space of four feet by three feet on the sur-
face of the composition. The fragments were nume-
rous on the second rcund being fired, but the officers
and other spectators had gone a greater distance to the
rear, and many took shelter in an adjacent building. The
gunners also retired to a greater distance, with the ex-
ception of the gunner who fired, and during the whole
of the experiments he did not sustain the least injury.
Four other rounds were fired from the 24-pounder
gun, making six rounds of that description of
shot, which nearly destroyed the whole of the battery,
literally lifting up the massive pieces, separating them
at the joinings of the composition which had been put
together at different meltings, the work having been con-
structed when the material was in a fluid state. At
the conclusion of the experiments with the 24-pounder
shot a 9.pounder field•battery gun was brought to
bLar upon the other side of the remaining parts of
the battery, and the first round at about fifty
yards' distance, fired at an angle, displaced a
great portion, the fragments appearing as thick
as bail, many of them reaching a distance
considerably in rear of the gun. One of the young
officers of Engineers received a severe blow in the face
from one, and his nose bled profusely. Several other
persons were also struck, but not to any serious ex-
tent. Three rounds were fired from the same posi-
tion, Lieu the riaguieuts were numerous, but no per-
son was hurt, as all had retired to better positions.
The gun was then brought round to the inside of
the battery and two rounds fired from it at about ten
yards' distance, the discharge being effected by placing a
port-fire on the vent and the gunners all retiring to be
out of the chance of danger. The shot of the 9 pounder
entered ten inches, and at the campletion of the 12
rounds the battery was a complete ruin. The result of
the experiments has shown that the composition is not
well adapted for batteries, owing to its brittle nature
and great liability to splinter. The violent concussions
it stood when fired from affords evidence, however,
that it is remarkably well adapted for forming
breakwaters or harbours of refuge, as it would resist
the greatest shocks that could be given to it by the
most powerful waves, although it cannot resist the
effect of cannon balls. At the conclusion of the experi-
ments Captain the Hon. W. E. Fitzrnaurice submitted
to the inspection of the commandant and officers
present a gun-carriage, on which an 18 pounder gun
was mounted on a new principle. The present gun-car-
riages when required to be moved for firing at angles
have to be shifted by gunners with handspikes while
the officer or gunner is directing it against the object
it is intended to fire at, which prevents that degree of
nicety so requisite for good practice. Captain Fitzmau-
rice's plan renders it easy for the officer himself to rec •
tify the aim without any other assistance whatever, all
that is requisite being to turn a handle to which a pinion
is attached and moving in a row of cogwheel teeth de-
scribing the fourth part of a circle under the breech of
the gun.

BOOK SOCIETY FOR DIFFUSING RELIGIOUS KNOW-
LEDGE AMONG THE POOR.—Last night the 98th annual
meeting of the above society was held at Exeter Hail, in
order to receive the report, and on general business.
Alderman Challis having taken the chair, remarked that
it was surprising how little was cared for the poor man
at large, struggling to get an honest living for himself
and his family ; but once let him commit some crime,
and be lodged in a prison, every effort was made to re-
form and instruct him, and he learnt more in three or
four moths that he might be in prison than he learned in
the thirty years that he might have been out of it. Now
the objects of this society and its publications were to
reform and instruct him before he got into prison, and to
keep him out of it, which was much better. Mr. Shep-
herd read the report, which stated that more than 8,000
moral and religious puhl;catioes had been circulated by
the society, and many valuable works had been added
during the past year to the list of their books. The re-
port further stated, that as the year 1850 will be the
centenary of the society, the committee have come to a
resolution to offer a prize of 21/. in that year to the
author of the best essay upon some suttject connected
with raigion and morals. The receipts for the last year
amounted to 594/. Bs. 41:and the expenditure to
594 L 2s. 7d., leaving a balance of ss. 9d. The report was
then unanimously adopted, end the ordinary routine
business having been concluded, the meeting separated.
FIRE NEAR BRADFORD.—OiI Thursday a fire broke
out in the woolhouse at the Upper Globe Mill in Man-
ningham, Bradford. Engines were promptly on the spot,
and the ravages of the fire were confined to the building
in which they were first discovered. The damage is
estimated to exceed 2001. The mischief lis supposed to
have been occasioned by the spontaneous combustion of
some greasy wool.
REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH ESSEX.—We are au-
thorised to state that the report, copied into our paper of
Wednesday, from the Essex Herald, that Sir E. N. Bux-
ton intends to retire from the representation of South
Essex is entirely without foundation•.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.—The Stamford 2lfcr-

of live stock and farming implements fetch full value at
the sales, and there is ston competition for every farm
that is to let.
