LovE.--A greater number of young girls .be-
tween the ages cf fifteen and eighteen, and of young men
between eighteen and twenty-four, fall victims to what they
call LOVE, than to any other particular class of disease ; and
more particularly in England and Ireland than in any other
country on earth. This is, from the force of early impres-
sions peculiar to these countries, and of comparatively re-
cent growth, the effect produced by a certain class of ro-
mance writers. These writers give an obliquity to the young
mind which leads to destruction. • Scarcely has a young
girl laid down her " Reading made Easy," than she be-
comes a subscriber to some trashy library, and the hours
which, in the country, or in a land where education is unknown,
they would employ in jumping about in the open air, are now
consumed with intensity of thought upon the maudlin miseries
of some hapless heroine of romance, the abortion of a diseased
brain. Her " imitativeness," as Spurzheim would phreno-
logically observe, becomes developed, and she fixes on her
favourite heroine, whom she apes in every thing—sighing for
her sorrow and moaning to be as miserable. She fixes imme-
diately upon some figure of a man—some Edwin, or Edgar,
or Ethelbert,—which she thinks will harmonize with the
horrors of the picture, and she then enjoys her tears and
her tortures to her heart's satisfaction. Languor, inaction,
late hours, late rising, and incessant sighing derarore her
digestion—paleness, loss of appetite, and general debility
follow—the cause continues, the effects increase, and hectic
fever puts an end to the romance. We have known a
young Irish lady who read herself into this situation.—
She was, at the age of thirteen, as lively, as healthy, and
as beautiful a little promise of womanhood as that country ever
produced. When the Leadenhall-street troop of romancers
crossed her way, an officer of a very different sort of troop be-
came her hero. She would " sit in her bower" (the second
floor window), and gaze—and gaze—and gaze upon his steed,
his helmet and its streaming black-haired crest, as he passed
to mount guard, until she sobbed aloud in ecstacy of melan-
choly. She never spoke to this " knight," nor did she even
seek to have an acquaintance—lest, perhaps, that a formal
proposal, a good leg-of-mutton dinner, and all the realities of
domestic happiness might dissipate the sweet romantic misery
she so much delighted in. A year passed over—" she pined
in thought, and with a green and yellow Melancholy," entered
a convent (for that is the climax of romance), where she died
in a few months !—( Medical Adr iser.

NGULAR CASE OF ASSAULT.

MISS MARSHALL v. THE REV. MR. VIALL.

BOW-STREET.--A ase of a very singular na-
ture was heard at this Office on Saturday before O. R. MIN-
SHULL, Esq. in the private room. It was a charge of assault
preferred by Miss Marshall. daughter of the late Mr. Serjeant
Marshall, against the Rev. Thus. Viall, cf Twickenham. The
defendant, we understand, married one of the sisters of Miss
Marshall, and the cause of misunderstanding has, we have been
infbrmed, arisen out of some family disagreement. Miss Mar-
shall appeared before Sir Ricilmtp BSRNJE on Friday, and
submitted to him a written information, complaining of the de-
fendant having met her while she was riding in her carriage near
Teddington, he being on horseback, and having struck her with
a whip or stick. Having repeatedly before had occasion to
complain of the intemperate conduct of the worthy Divine, she
now felt it her duty, from apprehensions of a More serious at-
tack, to take legal measures to prevent a repetition of such
conduct.

A warrant was granted accordingly, and entrusted to Perry
and Baker, two of the 'patrole, to be executed.
At an early hour on Saturday morning the officers proceeded
to the residence of Mr. Viall, at Twickenham, and finding him
at home, intimated the object of their visit. Mr. Viall was a
good deal surprised at such a call ; but after some time agreed
to accompany the officers to London. Pest horSes were then
ordered to his own carriage, arc: the two officers and the Rev.

SACTION.

MR. OWEN.

•
REPLY. to the REPORT of the SELECT COMMATTEE
of the REPLY:
of COMMONS, on the EMPLOYAIgNT
. .
of the POOR in IRELAND. - • • • '

GENTLEMEN—You were last Sessions appointed
to an office, the most important pethaps that could be confided
to legislators, or indeed to any body of men.

You were required to explain the cause, why in a part of the
empire, which produces an abundance of all the necessaries of
nfe, and which is capable of supplying a great superfluity of
whatever is requisite for the support of a considerable addition
to its present population, there was a want of employment and
of food for millions of British subjects?

And you were required to devise a remedy for these evils.
You were, in fact, called upon to perform a task which, when
executed, would not only relieve the star7i-Pg peasant of Ire-
land, but would exhibit to all the legislators in dip world the
real cause of poverty, and the means by which it may be fe4
moved.

It is, therefore, I consider, the appointment which you re,.
ceived, as the most important that could be entrusted to any
portion of society.
