ANI One half the world are desolately single, and the other
-upposing them married, questioealely contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.o-ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
-omprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
,tnd social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
:lement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, MAY 15.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states :
The import of wheat during the past week has been more
limited than for some time past ; and if the blockade lasts, we
may look for its still further declining. Of spring corn the
supply is more liberal, but is not likely to continue so. 7he
trade has been exceedingly inanimate during the whole week,
and sales of wheat have been quite impracticable except at a
reduction commensurate with that noted in other markets.
We had a somewhat better demand for the best descriptions
of foreign wheat at to-day's market; there was a small show
of farmers' wheat, and scarcely so good to buy as last week.
Less business passing in barley, hut we note no alteration.
Beans, as well as peas, and best qualities of oats, are fully as
dear. Of the above import of linseed but a small portion comes
on the market, the bulk having been principally ou crushers'
account ; the market is somewhat easier. A mederate con-
sumptive demand for cake, and no change in the value. Rape-
seed little inquired fur, and the stock insignificant. Rapecakes
more plentiful, and may be bought easier ; the same remark
applies to cattle bones.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 15.—At this day's market there was a
good attendance of the town and country dealers, and a fair
business was done in wheat at the prices of this day se'nnight.
Oats met with little inquiry, but must be noted id per 451bs
dearer. Oatmeal was neglected, and without change in value.
For barley, beans, and peas there was a slow retail sale, at our
late quotations. An extensive demand was experienced for
barrel flour, and favourite brands realised 6,1 per barrel ad-
vance. Indian corn was again in active request, and but few
of the late arrivals being on sale, the decline of Friday was
fully recovered. Indian meal was 3d to 6d per barrel dearer
on the week.

the 27th and 28th ult., upon the address to the Gover-
nor-General, and the amendments moved to that address.
We have before us an analysis of the division on the
first amendment, which was the strongest vote on
both &des. The total number that vott.d was 63, of
whom 46 were for Government, and 17 against.
Of the 46 for Government there were 22 French Cana-
dians from Lower Canada. 6 British from Lower Ca-
nada, and 18 British from Upper Canada. The minority
against the address consisted of 11 British from Upper
Canada, 5 British from Lower Canada, and one French
Canadian (the Republican, Papineau). Government,
therefore, had a majority of all classes;
a majority of the
British, all the French except one, who might well be
spared, a majority from Upper Canada, and a majority
from Lower Canada, the aggregate majority being over-
whelming. It must be considered too that in this divi-
sion the factious minority had used all its arts to divide
the Legislature and win apparent support. They did
not venture to propose as amendment censuring the
G overnor-G eneral, or showing ever so slight a
sympathy with the rioters. Yet their affected mo.
deration was unavailing, and they were entirely
beaten, as we have shown, by a majority of all
classes. It is seldom easy, and it is wholly unnecessary,
to describe a political quarrel in a few words. The
Rebellion Losses Bill is the merest pretence. Our
readers are doubtless aware that it is not a Bill for in-
demnifying rebels, but a Bill for indemnifying, to a very
limited extent, any persons that may have, suffered by
the destruction of their property in the rebellion ; and
the only grievance is that the Bill does not, because it
cannot, expressly exclude everybody who took part in
the rebellion. We believe the soro point of the affair is,
that after the rebellion, the
Royalists, who are fond of
autos du fé, wantonly burned the premises of disaffected
persons, who will now prefer a claim for that gratuitous
damage. This, however, is nothing but the spark which
has been used to fire the
magazine. The most
explosive element in that maglezine is exclusion
from office, and from the distribution of land
grants a trial to which the pot-loyalty of
M'Nab and his associates is manifestly unequal.
Canada, too, in common with other colonies —in
common with England and with all Europe is suf-
fering great commercial depression. It is no longer
allowedeo tax the industry of the mother country through
the operation of protective duties; and, while exposed to
free trade on this side, it is rebuffed with prohibitive
duties by the neighbouring union. There has been a
depreciation in all Canadian property, somewhat similar
to what we experience in railway shares and other specu-
lative investments. Annexation is an idea of growing
familiarity. At Montreal a "British League" has been
formed, which, under the pretence of an extravagant
loyalty, composes a political capital out of all the Tory
grievances, commercial depression, free trade, the domi-
nation of an alien race, and every other imaginable ill.
It shows stronger sympathies with the republican states-
man than with the loyal Frenchman, and is evidently
disposed to leave Victoria for General Taylor, if the lat-
ter will give a better price for Canadian produce. But
enough for the day is the evil thereof. While it is per-
mitted, we will leave the question of annexation. It ex-
isted before the present quarrel, and is wholly independ-
ent of it. When it comes in earnest, we trust this coun-
:ry will be prepared to decide it with humanity, firmness,
and discretion.
ADVERTISER —Mr. Roebuck's warmth and spirit
elieve the debates of much of their ordinary dulness.
ills home truths on the Bill for improving Ireland set
most of the Members for that country on fire—one re-
torts that he is bilious, and another that he is a grimac-
ing mountebank, with the spite of a baboon. Each man
abuses him according to the good taste and breeding of
each, but not one is able to deny the charges which he
brings forth against at least seven. e'ghtlis of those who
possess. actually or nominally, land in Ireland. We
have again carefully read through the speech of the Hon.
Member for Sheffield, and we have compared it with the
answer returned by the Earl of Clarendon to a deputa-
tion of Irish proprietors, who waited on him, September
5, 1848, to request his aid, as Lord-Lieutenant, in
oob-
taining another grant of money from England. His

the lapse of a few months has altered their nature. It
is either true or false that the large sums sent over by
Government, and the contributions of charitable persons,
both for the relief of the poor, by improving estates,
employing the people, and perchasing food for their im-
mediate wants, were diverted into the pockets of the
landlords. Mr. Roebuck says that it is true, and the
Lord-Lieutenant had said so before him, hut in some-
what more explicit terms. His Lordship told Mr. Beaz-
ley of Tipperary, and the rest of the deputation, that
" the landlords had applied for and obtained im-
mense sums of money for the alleged purpose of im-
proving their lands and affording employment, neither of
which they had done; thus the intention of the Legisla-
ture was not carried into effect, nor the condition of the
agricultural population in any degree improved." Lord

arrears of rent, without giving them a farthing of what
was intended for them. Mr. Roebuck says much the
same, but not in direct terms; yet Sir W. Barron 63.
(dares that it is monstrous to hear him making such as.
sertions without proof. Yet, how happens it that
what was tacitly allowed to be truth, when coming
from the highest officer in Ireland, in his public ca-
pacity, is now discovered to require proof ? When Lord
Clarendon expressed his indignation to the Irish deputa-
tion, the facts had been made notorious to all parts of
the empire, by the usual vehicles of public intelligence,
and it might then be thought prudent to maintain
silence about them ; but Englishmen do not imagine
that truth or falsehood is a question of time, and that
a few months or years will convert one into the other.
The Hon. Baronet asks if it is not notorious that the
landlords of Ireland have this year raised 16,0001. under
the poor-law ; and suppose they have, where is the
merit ? The little town of Dunmow expends 16,6001.
every year in the actual relief of the poor, arid that, too,
without any of the compulsion or the grumbling
opposition which accompanied that exceedingly
small instalment of the debt of the Irish landlords
to the people. During the ensuing autumn, winter, and
spring, the population of Ireland will be dependent
chi( fly upon English grants and contributions for pre-
servation from hunger; and we are very far from de-
siring that any assistance should be withheld; but those
from whose earnings the means of relief will be with-
drawn have an indefeasable right to require that the
Government shall hold the land of Ireland in pledge for
every farthing that has been, or may be advanced for
this purpose. We urge this security to be taken, be-
ea,
which
aallloneexphearsienbcreougdhemt demonstrates that that landlordism,
v, le to the destitute
cause, mendicant's condition, is not to be trusted, and because
while the land continues to be neected, through pride,
laziness, poverty, or any other cause, the industrious
classes of Great Britain will be under the necessity of
maintaining the poor of Ireland as well as their own.

ARMY AND ORDNANCE.
The following Parliamentary document was delivered
yesterday:—
" Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire
into the expenditure on account of the Army and Ord-
nance, and to report their observations thereupon to the
House of Commons.

"Your Committee have t) report to the House, that
the investigation into the expenditure on account of the
Ordnance Estimates has occupied their attention to the
present time, and is yet so far unfinished, that they can
hold out no expectation to the House, that they shall be
enabled to do more than to report upon the expenditure
on account of Ordnance Estimates during the present
session."
