05. One half the world are desolately single, and the othe,
apposing :11',.m married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ease et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
-Ater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
>1 caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
,omprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
tnd broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
,n 3 social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
lament. Honour and justicedensand tkat health should form an item
n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligkted hopes er
.eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
nese sunrises concerts you, procure Dr. CIEILVERWELL'S little
'MOILS "On Single quad Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
ach (by mat, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
-Wined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
,y misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
'sem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle enrivaty, but
tar 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 age. Fri theiztore, two other
ttle publications claim your attention (same pike Is. each,
09 f ost Is. 63.) called "What to Eat, Drink, and
A.void," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pa np 'lets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
'ifs who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
serv.enca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
worued 'et done unto—to live after nature's lowa—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

THE MIRROR.

The political article with which the .Mirror for the
present month opens is a continuation of that terrific
onslaught against the hereditary aristocracy which
was commenced in this periodical same three months
since. The writer in this month's Mirror reviews
the conduct of the aristocracy during the recent
prevalence of cholera, and he thus discourses on the
subject :
" it has been indubitably proved that with proper
caution the plague of cholera might have been made to
fall as a mild visitation instead of a terrible scourge.
Money, however, was wanting to ensure safety from its
ravages. All the ingenuity of fiscal extortion can only
raise a certain sum from the people. Certain things
must be done; certain classes must be enriched. The
revenue is spent; if nothing remains, nothing more
can be done. The choice was, therefore, between cut-
ting off the immense rivers of gold which flow into aris-
tocratic coffers, and allowing the pestilence to do its
work among the people. The decision was natural.
The rivers flowed on. and the people were left to perish.
" Our nobles breathed the balmy air of their rural
estates, and lavished their resources on the continental
purveyors of pleasure. They lolled in the lap of peace,
whet, therefore, had the pestilence to do with them?
What had they to do with the industrious classes? They
were not in London, London might, therefore, be depo-
pulated. That the people support them in their luxury
is nothing; the glory which their ancient names—if not
their modern reputations—shed on the country is ample
payment. They could moralise very philosophically
under the influence of a balmy sea breeze. They tell
the poor, Drain your metropolis, get better food,
don't live in holes and cellars, acquire clean habits,
breathe proper air, widen your streets, purify your
water !'
" Perhaps those humane sympathisers with distress—
who, doubtless, have been sworn at Highgate—would
recommend the residents in Field-lane and the degraded
tribe of Jacob's Island to move in a body to some healthy
watering-place for a few months. Perhaps, also, they
would suggest to those who dwell in the back alleys of
, the Lambeth-marsh to take villas in St. John's-wood—
[ very kind of them indeed. Their sympathy brings to

THE SUN, LONDON,

THAMES.

Jacob Hesse, a pianoforte maker, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, on remand, charged with feloni-
ously cutting and wounding George Werner, with
intent to do him, grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Pelham defended the prisoner, who is a piano-
forte-maker, residing in Buckle-street, Whitechapel.
The prosecutor is a lodginghouse-keeper in the same
street. On the night of Monday, the 29th ult., a
quarrel originated between them after leaving the
Half-Moon public-house in Whitechapel, in conse-
quence of the prosecutor interfering between Hesse
and another man, and they fought in the " English
style" for some time with their fists, until Hesse was
getting the worst of it, when he got Werner's head
under his arm, and inflicted several blows with a
knife. The prosecutor felt himself stabbed, and
called out for the police, who took the prisoner into
custody, and Werner was removed to the hospital,
where it was ascertained that he had received from 18
to 20 stabs on the head. Some of them were de-
scribed by Mr. Harper, the house-surgeon of the
London Hospital, to be merely superficial, and others
were deep. The loss of blood was very great, and
the prosecutor was in a state of considerable debility
when he was admitted into the hospital, but the man
was not in any immediate danger from the injuries.
Mr. Pelham very ingeniously endeavoured to show
that the injuries were inflicted by the prosecutor
forcing his head through a pane of glass. The defence
failed, and Hesse was committed for trial for the
felony.

[The following article copied from a Spanish news-
paper contains some account of the proceedings of an
English company, who have leased the celebrated silver
mines of Gua,talcanal, in Seville, in Spain, which have
been under water for a period of one hundred and fifty
years!! Before that time they produced to the Spanish
Government 100,0001. per annum in duties alone, and
from the proceeds of these, the Palace of the " Escurial"
was built. They were the property of the " Fuchars"

wealth they derived from them, secretly took away the
ores from a new lode they discovered, without giving no-

In the month of September last, wo furnished our
readers with the history of the silver mines of Guadal-
canal; we related the manner in which those rich veins
were discovered by two Spanish peasants, the enormous
quantities of ore which they yielded during 140 years;
then how,in order to free themselves from the proceedings
instituted by the Court of Madrid, the proprietors fled,
having first taken the precaution of flooding the mines.
We recounted the oft repeated, but invariably unsuc-
cessful attempts of the Spanish Government and private
companies to drain the water from the mines, and render
them fit for working. After having given this history,
supported by official documents, we announced the de-
parture from England of a vessel laden with powerful
apparatus, manned by fifteen stout Cornish miners, and

FRANCE.
M. Elia e de Girardin has never been one of the
ardent ade firers of the National Assembly, which has
perhaps t )een more' bitterly attacked in the Presse
than in tt uy other journal. The following testimony
'to the rr ..4:ritr3 of the Assembly, which appears in the
Presse, avd evidently from the pen of the editor,
may be f';'.lerefore considered as not going beyond the
bounds of truth, at all events:—
"Th t, National Assembly has done much for the re-
establi
.shment of order, for the repression of revolu-
tions, agitation, and the security of life and property.
It h' ss, perhaps, been more Republican than Liberal.
It has given all to what it believed to be the
Conservative interest; it has given the state of
the dictatorship, deportations, the arbitrary
•awspension of the public press. History will point
lo these things as its fault, and so will democracy. But
of this fault has an excuse, it will be found, no doubt, in
.the indifference with which the country witnessed the sa-
trifice of some of these rights, the conquest of which his
cost so much blood, and the profanation of which should
never be permitted, especially by the hypocritical and
perjured head of a Government of liberty. In a
word, the National Assembly is about to retire after
having led France through the defiles of anarchy, in
the midst of enormous difficulties, of terrible crises,
and without having caused the erection of a political
soaUld, witho:it a single interest of those which ...-i'ranee
represents in the world being clinprornissA, leaving
her tibef ty in her futi4r:: career; the sovereignty of hrr
rights, the inviolability of the principles she has always
maintained, and which become mingled with moral life in
the development of civilization. The task was difficult,
but it has been performed. History will not forget it,
and if the Assembly cannot be admired for its grandeur,
it will be honou: ed for its wisdom."

AUSTRIA.

Advices have been received from Vienna to the 7th
The Moser Zeitung of that date contains a long
proclamation of Field-Marshal PIICHNER, dated Her-
Enannstadt, Jan. 24, together with particulars from
the seat of war up to the afternoon of the 21st. The
loss of the enemy has been very considerable, from
GO to 70, and 98 wounded. According to the latest
intelligence, a division of the enemy, after the dis-
comfiture of the other part, evacuated Salzburg, and
took flight in the direction of Schorostin Blasendorf
and Thorda.

It is stated in a letter from Pesth of the Ist, that
the inhabitants of Grau, a town three leagues from
Buda, had risen in insurrection, attacked the garri-
son, and displayed the standard of revolt. Troops
and artillery had been sent to crush the rising. The
people of Grau had at one time professed great de-
votedness to Prince WINDISCHGRATZ.

The Ministry of Finance will form a separate sec-
tion for the kingdom of Hungary, under the direction
of the former Councillor of State, Count ALMAZ.
Three civil commissioners will be sent to the pa-
cified parts of Hungary for the regulation of the
affairs of the Government. The Wiener Zeiteng
of the 6th contains full particulars of the funeral
of Count Mumma, which took place at Ofen on
the Ist of February. The ceremony was very
imposing, and the remains of this barbarously-
murdered plenipotentiary of the EMPEROR were
conveyed from the vault at Pesth to the gar-
rison church at Ofen, accompanied by a body of
the clergy and a division of grenadiers and a squadron
of Üblans ; various military divisions were drawn up
under the command of Prince SCHWARZENBERG ; and
his Excellency Field-Marshal WINDISCHGRATZ, with
a numerous and splendid retinue, accompanied the re-
mains on horseback from the palace.

TURNPIKE ACTS,

Upon the motion for the second reading of the
Lanarkshire (East and West Line) and Glasgow, and
Shotts Turnpike Roads (Amendment of Acts, &c.) Bill,
Mr. BERNAL said, in order to facilitate the progress
of private business he had been in communication with
the Home Office on the subject .of Turnpike and High-
way Bills, and was informed that a public Bill for con-
solidating the management of turnpike roads and high-
ways would immediately be brought in. It was, there-
fore, for Hon. Members to decide what course ought to
be pursued with respect to, the second reading of those
Bills until the general Bill was introduced.
Mr. HUME thought that the House ought to be in-
formed of the object of the Bill, in order that parties
might not be put to any trouble. If a Bill on this sub-
ject was brought in he thought it ought to be as general
as possible.
Mr. C. LEWIS said, the notice for the Bill in question
stood for to-morrow. It referred exclusively to Eng-
land, and would considerably interfere with all local Acts
relating to highways and turnpikes.
Mr. W. F. MACKENZIE said, as it did not apply to
Scotland, he saw no reason why this Bill should be
postponed.
Mr. HUME hoped that Scotland would be brought
under the same category as England.
The Bill, after some further discussion, was read a
second time and ordered to be committed.
MARYLEBONE AND FINCHLEY TURNPIKE
TRUST BILL.
Upon the motion of Mr. OSBORNE, the second
reading of this Bill was postponed until the 6th of March.
TRURO TURNPIKE, &c.
The second reading of the Truro Turnpike and Roads,
and Penryn and Redruth Turnpike and Roads (consoli-
dation of trusts, alteration of tolls and formation of new
roads) Bill was postponed to the 22d February.

The Austrian papers do not confirm the report that
Stratomirovich has been taken prisoner, and has
been transferred to a council ofyvar. The Patriarch
has merely given orders to retain him prisoner at
Mitrovie. The General Committee at Carlowith has
declared Stratomirovich innocent, and the order of
the Patriarch illegal.

ration, which is one of the essential elements of Euro-
pean treaties. The real unity of Germany cannot be
established except with the concurrence of-Prussia and
Austria. The Cabinet of Vienna has communicated
this resolution to the Cabinet of Berlin; but it has not
Effected a perfect understanding with Prussia on this
point. Austria desires to take an active part in the re-
neration of Germany, which must be effected by a clear
understanding between the princes and the people, and
in her opinion the eider means to obtain this end is a
more strict union between the different German tribes.
;lis Majesty the Emperor and his Government declare
solemnly that they will not submit to any Central Power
which may be confided to another German prince."
The National Assembly of Frankfort, in the sitting
of the 9th, decided, after a debate, that the right to
labour and to assistance should not be inscribed in
the Constitution. Several amendments on the sub-
ject were, however, referred to a committee. A re-
port from a committee was, presented, recommending

COPENHAGEN, FEB. s.—The announced warlike
proclamation, so much spoken of, proves to be merely
a lithographic letter addressed to the faithful people
of Schleswig, thus, conceived :—" The Government
invites in the KING name, his faithful people not to
oppose force to unjust pretensions ; meanwhile the
KING will not consent to prolong an armistice which
gives rise to the present uncertain state of affairs."

S N, FEBRUARY 13, 1849.

The defendant then left him, and the complainant viith
great pain and difficulty contrived to get into bed again,
but had not been there more than five minutes when
the defendant returned, and, again seizing him in the
same manner as before, a second time dragged him out
of bed, compelled him to dress himself, and, notwith-
standing the lateness of the hour, turned him -into the
street.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that
upon returning home his wife told him that the com-
plainant had both insulted her grossly and struck her,
and, feeling naturally exasperated, he ordered the com-
plainant to leave the house; this he positively refused to
do, and he therefore used sufficient force to compel his
compliance, but he denied that he had either kicked him
or illused him to the extent described.

Anne Caulfield, the lad's mother, stated, that upon
her son returning home he had a severe coutusion upon
one of his eyes, and she found upon examination that he
had other serious bruises upon his hip, knee, and the
middle of his back, in addition to which he also com-
plained of suffering extreme pain from some internal in-
jury in his loins.
Mr. HANDIILL considered that no provocation could
justify such extreme violence es it was clearly proved the
defendant had been guilty of, and ordered him to pay the
full penalty of 51., or in default to be committed to the
House of Correction for two month.

The penalty was immediately paid and the defendant
liberated.

THAMES.

James Harley, an Irishman, and described as a
cooper, of 6, Griffin-street, Shadwell; was brought be-
fore Mr. Yardley, charged with stabbing a woman named
Margaret Putt, who is now in the London Hospital in a
very precarious condition, with intent to murder, or do
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Pelham defended the prisoner.
Mr. Pelham asked if the certificate from the hospital
described the woman to be in danger?
Mr. YARDLEY said it did; and remanded the prisoner.

CHARGE of VIOLATION AGAINST
London, England, 1849-02-13

ITALY.

We are without direct news from Florence, but
the French Constitutionnel of yesterday confirms the
report given in the National of the day preceding of
the flight of the Grand Duke of Tuscan:- from Flo-
rence to Sienna in consequence of an emeute, and the
Constitutionnel adds that in consequence of the ex-
tension of the emeute to Siennira, the GRAND DUKE
had been forced to quit that city and take refuge in
Piombino.

At Rome there was a large meeting held in the
Theatre Tortinono on the 3d. Loud cries were
raised in favour of a republic.
The emeute of the 29th at Naples is now con-
sidered to have been an affair " got up " by the
police, for the purpose of giving the Government an
excuse for occupying Naples with troops during the
time the Chambers are sitting.
II Tempo, of January 31, gives the following ver-
sion of the proceedings on the 29th :—" About four
in the afternoon there was observed in the Marine-
street an assemblage composed of the inhabitants
of the different quarters of the capital, but this
assemblage dispersed as soon as the patrols of
the garrison and the police appeared, and the
streets were soon nearly cleared. Nevertheless,
some groups re-assembled in the vicinity of
Toledo-street. These groups were in turn dispersed
by the patrol, who in some instances fired over the
heads- of the people as they retreated. Order was
then re-established without any damage being sus-
tained."

La Liberta says the people showed no disposition
to disorder, only crying out for the Constituent
Assembly ; but some stones having been thrown, the
police fired over their heads, without having the effect
of dispersing them ; and the troops having commanded
them three times to disperse, the cavalry then charged,
whereupon the people shouted " Long live the cavalry,
our brothers," on hearing which the cavalry sheathed
their swords, and calm was re-established.
The Chambers were opened at Naples on the Ist
with order and tranquillity.
The Corriere Mercantile, of the 6th instant, says
the Consul-General of England, in Genoa, has called
on the Genoa Gazette to contradict the report that
the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, after a long and confi-
dential conference with the Ambassadors of France
and England, had given his adhesion to the Italian
Constituent. On the contrary, the Minister of Eng-
land, Sir G. HAMILTON, says that the GRAND Doge, in
giving his adhesion, put himself in direct opposition to
the advice of the English Minister.

BADEN.

According to the Cologne Gazette an Austrian
force of 16,000 men is to enter Baden to act against
the Republicans.
The insurgent army of the Palatinate has joined
that of Baden, and brings with it 20 pieces of cannon.

AUSTRIA.

ALLEGED DEFEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS

AND RUSSIANS.

The Berlin`National Zeitung, of the 18th June,
states, that the Hungarians had totally defeated the
united Austrian and Russian armies, on the left bank
of the Danube, in the plain between Karlsburg and
Raab, on the 14th and 15th. The loss of the Impe-
rialists wasimmense. We have received Vienna
papers of the 17th, which, of course, do not mention
a syllable of this. Should this intelligence prove
true, we may shortly expect to hear (strange as it
sound) of the proclamation of the Russian Republic.
From the White to the Black Sea, from the Baltic
to the Caspian, everything is prepared to take advan-
tage of any reverses the Imperial troops may expe-
rience.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The bombardment of Fredericia was renewed on
the 14th and 15th.

The Flyve Post of Copenhagen, of the 18th, says—
" From authentic sources we have learned that the nego•
tiat.ions for peace carried on in London are almost entirely
broken off, and, as regards the negotiations ,t Berlin, accord-
ing to private letters just received, neither party had shown
any inclination to 3 ield any part of its demands, so that a
favourable result was as remote as ever. However, if cer-
tain symptoms may be relied on, Prussia perhaps will be
induced to give way to a small extent." •

WURTEMBURG.
THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT.
The Swabian Mercury of June 20 gives the fol-
lowing account of the dispersion of the National As-
sembly :
" We have already announced to our readers that the
establishment of Fritz and the adjacent streets were filled
with troops about three r.se., whereupon the representatives
began their march, having at their head the President Lowe
de Kalbe, Uhland, and Schott; there was a great crowd who
made the air resound with their cries. The Councillor of
Regency, Cameres, thus addressed the President :--` I de-
clare to you, M. le President, in the name of the Ministry,
that your future meetings in Wurtemburg are forbidden.'
The President protested in the name of the German nation
against this proceeding, and other deputies desired to speak ;
but M. Cameres declared that he would not hear them, and
desired the drums to beat. The military drove back the
crowd, who were further kept in awe by cannon planted so as
to command the streets. The Provisional Regency departed
last night." _ _

The Wurtemburg Ministry have published a state-
ment of the motives that had induced them to take
such strong measures against the National Assembly
and Provisional Regency, who had, they say, unin-
vited, come to Stuttgardt, and established themselves
there, and had assumed powers that, if conceded,
would have placed the national forces and the finances
of Wurtemburg at their disposal; that the Assembly
had declared that the disarmament of the National
Guard was illegal, and had by its violent and pas.
sionate proceedings set an example that was highly
dangerous, and gave encouragement to anarchy ; that
if the Ministry had yielded to the wishes of the As-
sembly, Wurtemburg would have virtually been an-
nihilated, which was certainly not the wish of the
majority of the nation, notwithstanding their enthu-
siasm in favour of German unity, and for that, and
other reasons set forth in their statement, they had
been compelled to dissolve the Assembly.
In the sitting of the Wurtemburg Assembly on the
19th, the Assembly, on the proposition of Deputy
Manx, passed to the order of the day on a motion of
the Minister ROMER, approving of the conduct of the
Ministry with regard to the German Parliament. The
Ministry acted, it appears, in obedience to a request
of Prussia.

Deputy SCHODER proposed that those Ministers
who had signed the note against the National Assem•
bly had acted in violation of the German Constitution,
and should be put upon their trial for so doing. This
proposition was referred to the Political Committee.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Last night the German company (lately at Drury-lane)
commenced a brief series of performances at this theatre.
Don Juan was the opera selected for the occasion ; and in
most respects the cast was the same as when we noticed the
first representation of the chef d'auvre by the same company
a short time since. Herr Pischek again appeared as the
hero, playing and singing with all his usual energy and
effect, but certainly not forming a beau ideal of the disso-
lute but accomplished and elegant Don. Herr Formes was
exceedingly admirable as Loprello, and sang throughout
with great ability and power. Madlle. Von Romani was ex-
tremely good as Donna Anna. The character of Elvira was
filled by Madlle. Oswald, who rendered the music allotted
to the part with spirit and much efficiency, and would have
been still more satisfactory and pleasing if she had displayed
more delicacy in her execution, with more discrimination in
vocal light and shade. Her voice is full and powerful, and
only requires a little more judgment in the use of it to pro-
duce a more pleasing effect, Madlle. Emilia Walter (first
singer to the King of Wirtemberg) was an able representive
of Zerlina, singing and acting with appropriate gaiety and
coquetry. The opera was also in other respects satisfac-
torily performed. The house was well attended.
