Woor.wicir, OcT. 3.—The following new regula-
tions have been made relative to the promotion of
engineers brought up in the service :
Third class assistant engineers to complete three
years' service at sea before they are eligible to be ex-
amined for or promoted to the second class.
Second class engineers to complete two years' ser-
vice at sea before they are eligible to be examined for
or promoted to the first class.
First class assistant engineers to complete three
years' service at sea before they are eligible to be ex-
amined for or promoted to chief engineer. Engineers,
therefore, who have been brought up in the service,
will not be eligible for promotion to the rank of chief
engineer in the Royal Navy until they shall have
completed eight years' service at sea as assistant
engineers.

PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION.—A lawyer, retained i
n
a case of assault and battery, was cross-examining a wit-
ness in relation to the force of the blow struck. " What
kind of a blow was given?" asked the lawyer. "A blow
of the common kind." " Describe the blow." " I am
not good at description." Show me what kind of a blow
insisted t
it was." .'I cannot." " You must." "I won't." The

A R R I A G E.
31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes eta-
tither the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret tut-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form al liens
in the compact ;it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor he hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for 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
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribbling. of the hoar, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would ineuicate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvaiho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and eveaings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all
Booksellers.

organs, and is illustrated by Six Coloured Engravings.

and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity.
It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings.
PART 111. Treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in
the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for
their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abuse
of mercury, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated
by Seventeen Coloured Engravings.

PART IV. Treats of Perry's Preventative Lotion, by the use of
which the dangers of infection are obviated. It combines with the
virus chemically, and destroys its power on the system.

THE NEW DECORATIONS OF DRURY-LANE THEATRE!.
—These are simple, although exceedingly effective. The
ground of the whole is a faint blossom colour, approach-
ing a white, and the ornaments, which are all appliqul,
are gilt. The fronts of all the boxes are laced with a
trellis of large mesh, formed of an enriched moulding
gilt, and upon this festoons of detached flowers, very
nicely modelled, and also gilt, are suspended. On the
dress boxes the festoons are looped through wreaths; on
the next tier, tied with a gilt riband, and on the front of
the third tier the festoon consists of ribaud only. The
fluted Corinthian columns which form the proscenium,
two on each side, have their caps and bases gilt; and the
flutes entwined by a continuous wreath of flowers gilt,
as have also the small columns which support the boxes
throughout the house. The whole of the ornaments,
fruit and flower work, are of papier mit' che—the orna-
mented moulding which forms the trellis being of a new
patent machine-made kind, and were made, gilt, and
fixed, in five weeks, by Mr. Bielefeld. The ceiling is
painted to represent the sky seen from a roofless build-
ing, and much ingenuity is exhibited in the endeavour.
A continuation of the gilt trellis work, rising from the
walls, forms an inclosure around the lower part of the
circle; and the central glass chandelier, a Lew one, is
made to present, by masses of drop, six flags, with the
lines of the union-jack marked on each of them by light.
It is kept close up to the ceiling, and is seen to be held
by six flying cupids. For colour, entire dependence is
placed on the draperies, in respect of which Mr. Frederic
Gye has taken a bold step. Acting probably on the
proverbial partiality of the fairer portion of the British
public for a red coat, he has adopted nothing more nor
less for his draperies than bright scarlet cloth with
yellow edging, which must produce a brilliant effect.
The boxes are lined with a yellow-patterned paper on is
crimson ground. The " family boxes" have been cleared
away, so as to form an enclosed area for standing spec-
tators.—The Builder.

THE COMMAND OF TIIE MADRAS ARMT.—Lieti•
tenant-General Sir George Henry Frederick Berkeley,
K.C.8., has obtained one of the Indian prizes, the com-
mand of the Madras army. It is a lucrative command
(about 10,000/. a year), and one which from its magni.
tude calls all an officer's energies and capabilities into
play. Sir George Berkeley will not have less than
70,000 men under his control.—United &rake Gazette.
The celebrated banker, M. Maurice d'Ullman, of
Pesth, has just died from apoplexy, at the age of seventy;
he leaves a fortune of four millions of florins (ten mil-
lions and a half of francs).
