One half the world are desolately single, and the other
upposirg them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a
.ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
eller the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
at caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
ennprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour andjusticedenssued that health sheuld form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wetmd more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

COMMITTEE ,or ALDERMEN.—On Saturday a com-
mittee of Aldermen was held in the Council-chamber,
Guildhall, when the election of a goaler, in the room of
the late one, who had resigned the situation, took place.
The person chosen was G. Shackle, who for many years,
was one of the old Bow-street officers, but upon the
formation of the now police, he was appointed one of the
inspectors, and subsequently succeeded Mr. Superin-
tendent Pearce, of the F division, as the inspector of the
detective force, from .which he retired a few months
ago on a pension. Some of the members of the Court
objected to the appointment, on the ground that some
one of the turnkeys belonging to the Compter could be
found, who would be fully capable of performing the
duties, but it was contended that, as Shackle was ac-
quainted with the persons of all the metropolitan thieves,
a better selection could not be made, and his election
was .the result.

DETERMINED SDICIDE.—On Saturday, consider-
able sensation was excited in Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, in
consequence of Mr. John Naton, the landlord of the
Yorkshire Grey, having committed suicide by shooting
himself.. The deceased, who was about thirty-five years
of age, was •married, and has left a family of 'four young
children. It appears that neither deceased, his wife, or
potb9y, had been to bed the previous night ; that a few
minutes before five o'clock deceased left his wife in her
bed-room, and went down stairs, saying that he would
shoot himself. He afterwards took a gun, loaded it
with shot, placed the muzzle beneath his chin, and pulled
the trigger with his right foot. The potboy had at-
tempted to interfere, but the unfortunate man swore he
would shoot him if he did.

ing lieutenant of the Medea steam-sloop, vice Quin,
deceased.
Commander C. Codrington Forsyth, whose promotion
by the Board of Admiralty, from the rank of lieute-
nant, we gave a fow days since, entered the service
in 1827, served in her Majesty's ship Jaseur, 18 guns,
Captain Lyons, on the east coast of Africa, for
the suppression of the slave trade. He then joined
her Majesty's ship Maidstone, 42, Commodore Sir
C. M. Schombergh ; from her he removed into the
Warspite, 76, bearing the flag of Admiral Sir Thomas
Baker. After serving in her a short time, ho was ap-
pointed to her Majesty's surveying sloop Beagle, under that
talented officer Captain R. Fitzroy. Whilst in this vessel
he assisted in the survey of the coast of South America
from the River Plate to Guayaquil, including the Falk-
land Islands, &c., and, in coujunction with two other
midshipmen, surveyed a distance of 1,700 miles of coast,
in a small vessel of 14 tons, without any other assistance.
He passed his examination for lieutenant in 1836, and
joined her Majesty's ship Pelorus, and then proceeded
to India. On this vessel's arrival on the station, a rup-
ture being expected with the Burmese, he was detached
with her boats to Rangoon, and, by his timely arrival,
saved the British Resident, Colonel Burney, and the
masters of the merchant vessels, from imprisonment. The
Pelorus was then ordered to Australia and New Zealand.
Whilst on these coasts, Commander Forsyth made many
valuable additions to the charts by his surveys, and was
sent at the particular request of Sir J. Franklin after
a party of desperate convicts who had escaped from
Van Diemen's Land; and after a narrow escape of his
hie, he saved part of them from destruction. In 1839 he
again joined her Majesty's ship Beagle, and for more
than two years did the duty of lieutenant and assistant
surveyor, in command of her tender, in the survey of
BASS'S Straits, without receiving the pay of either officer,
and was most handsomely recommended to the Admi-
ralty by Sir J. Franklin and Sir James Stirling, for his
services on the coast of Van Diemen's Land and Western
Australia. On the Beagle's return to England, in 1843,
he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and ap-
pointed to her Majesty's ship Helena, on the east coast of
Africa, where he was continually away in command of
her boats. On one occasion he captured an Arab slaver
after some resistance, with 82 children on board, destined
for the slave market at Muscat. In performing this
service, nine out of the pinnace's crew died from the ef-
fects of fever. On the Helena's return to the Cape, the
colonists being at war with the Kafirs, the troops, in con-
sequence of the drought and difficulty of obtaining
supplies, were obliged to retreat to the mouth of the
Great Fish River, where it was reported supplies might
be landed, although it was much doubted from the
heavy surf almost always prevailing on this dangerous
coast. Lieutenant-General Sir P. Maitland applied to
the senior naval officer, Captain R. Gambier, for an offi-
cer to superintend the debarkation of troops and stores,
and survey and report on the coasts, when Commander
Forsyth was selected for this service from his knowledge
of surveying and lauding on open coast. On his arrival
there he found the troops almost destitute of provisions,
which he soon succeeded in landing in large quantities,
which enabled the army again to advance against the
Kafirs; for this service he was strongly recommended to
the Admiralty, and was officially informed by their
Lordships, through Rear-Admiral Dacres, that they bad
made a favourable note of his name. On the arrival of
Sir 11. Pottinger and Sir G. Berkeley, the troops
again made a forward movement, when Commander
Forsyth was requested to proceed to the mouth of the
Buffalo, and report as to the possibility: of land.
ing stores there. On his
way thither with a small es-
cort, he was nearly cut off by the enemy. At this place
ho was again successful in landing supplies under the
most dangerous and difficult circumstances. He was re-
peatedly recommended through the Commander-in-
Chief, Rear-Admiral Dacres, for his valuable assist-
ance and co-operation ; and again by Sir Harry Smith,
who states in his letters to Earl Grey, had it not been
for the energy and perseverance displayed by this
officer in establishing these landing-places the army
must have starved. He was also officially thanked
by the Admiral for his valuable surveys of this coast,
and the Commissary-General likewise recommended him
to the Treasury for the valuable assistance he had ren-
dered his department during the war. For these im-
portant services the Board of Admiralty have promoted
him to the rank of commander.
SHIPS TO BE PAID OFF.
The Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, C. 8., expected from
Gibraltar, is to be paid off at Portsmouth, where she was

The Hound, 8, Commander G. IL Wood, for some
time in the West Indies, from the coast of Africa, has

The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Wingrove, is
on her way home from the West Indies, to be paid off,

tained, from the examination of a diver at Bermuda, that
some portion of her keel has been carried away. She
will require docking in a home port, to repair these and
other defects.
