Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
Ixfihtments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
Used 111 moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused,, the prolific source of mischief. and of greater or less injury
to the cek‘stitutienal and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature out consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productivef of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other td which it is subject.

This work c,ontelno an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physlolob-7 of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest atUrntion and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the, follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical maa who can show by his posse- sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem Mid respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence shortie be extended. Dr.
LA.,3IERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
8, LUDGATE-HILL,
SIDNEY and COMPANY, Proprietors.
The rapidly progressive increase in the consumption of Tea and
Coffee is one of the pleasing features of the age. The people abstain-
ing to a considerable extent from the indulgence of intoxicating li-
quors, more especially from ardent spirits, have become thoughthil,
the nation energetic and powerful.
The very interesting statistical accounts published by order of the
House of Commons at once show that both Tea and Coffee are com-
paratively of modern use in these kingdoms, and that Only within the
last few years have they become the ordinary beverage of the people.
They are no longer received as luxuries attainable by the wealthy, but
aided by the wisdom of the Legislature in throwing open the markets
of the East, prices have been brought within the range of all classes
of the community.
The Customs' duties on Coffee were very considerably lowered in
the celebrated Tariff Bill of Sir Robert Peel in 1842 ; and it is grati-
fying to know that the revenue has been benefited by such reduction,
and the consumption, from 26 million pounds in 1842, increased to
upwards of 36 million pounds in 1846.
The duties levied upon Tea are enormous. In the past year this
article alone yielded the sum of 5,110,8971. 15s. 9d. to the revenue.
It is the prevailing opinion, that if Parliament on its assembling
should reduce the tea duties to one-half their present rate (and the
select committee appointed by the House of Commons recommend
the adoption of such a measure), the consumption would be so vastly
augmented, as to fully yield an equivalent revenue to that hitherto
derived from this source, and by thus cheapening an article so ge-
nerally esteemed, extend the comfort and social habits of the com-
munity.

The-system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been
actuated by the principles of fair dealing, in meeting the altered cir-
cumstances of the markets as they arise. This course has been ap-
preciated by a discerning public, and we gratefldly acknowledge a
large share of confidence and patronage.
The present year's importation of Tea Is likely to be very large ;
and this circumstance has had a marked effect upon the value of all
descriptions, which, added to the derangement of the Money Market,
has tended to depreciate prices below all former precedent.
COFFEE—The importation is an average one, the quality good,
prices low.
