SCIENCE v. HMIEN.—The Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway is now opened throughout, and as it constitutes
the route to the far-famed Gretna, if the electric tele-
graph should be adopted by the directors on that line,
elopements would become almost impracticable. What
an enemy science is to romance and love ! And what a
shame that young ladies who are kind enough to go a
hundred miles out of their way to make a man happy,
should, like mere it ice, be thus snared and caught by
wires ! To establish the telegraph in the south may be
all well enough, but to carry it to Carlisle—the last
stage to Gretna—the very vestibule to bliss— is an
encroachment which ought never to be permitted. It
would be directing the galvanic battery of science against
the rarest temple Hymen has—it would destroy the little
romance of life which still lingers in a manufacturing
age, and would take away all the piquancy of love's
adventure.

COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS
RAILWAY.— The train which left Manchester on Tues-
day night last, at twenty minutes to six, ran into a lug-
gage train abnut two hundred yards from the Rochdale
station, smashing one and damaging several other of the
carriages. Several of the passengers were injured, and
all of them much shaken, but none seriously hurt. The
guard suffered the most injury. Mr. John Bright was.
one of the passengers in this train, which runs no fur-
ther than Rochdale. It is supposed that the luggage
train was $OO 1194'1,4 laden to MOTO (41,—,Lcoh Mcroer,y.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and bi art acquied.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointnnts keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to If a."

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects .
very delicate Import, as their titles imply, will be found of Immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crew.
tare able t, understand ought to know, but which information is

questionab a hamlets, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths t
nature, cf huncan disappointments and their ways of relief, it isnat
contended that every render shall become his or her own physicists
any more than their own lawn:, tit Is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the law
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individua
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and fliture race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happine;
within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lit e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of oar faculties, which' s in
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highes
of God's creations.
The author's justification for thig seeming eulogy of his own writ•

EXPLOSION OF FIRE-DAMP.—SEVEN MEN BURNT,
—On Monday last inquests were held before W. for
vine, Erq., coroner, at the Bell Inn, near Splay, on the
bodies of Rees Morgan and John David, who, with
five:others, descended a coal-pit at the Genwen
in the parish of Llanelly, on Saturday last. They had
not been long at work before the explosiva took place.
It appeared in evidence that the ovsrlooker had dis'
covered that there was a quantity of foul air in the east
side of the workings, and that he had on the previous
day given the men precaution, and cautioned them not
to go that part of the workings without a safety lamp►
and gave Rees Morgan one for that purpose; but it Is
believed that the deceased, Rees Morgan, incautiously
took a lighted candle into the head of the workings in'
stead of the lamp, as the explosion took place in that
part of the colliery where he was at isork. The jurf
returned verdicts of " Accidentally burnt to death rocs
an explosion of fire-damp." The two unfortunate men
have left wives and families to deplore their loss!

STRAWBERRY-HILL. Who has not heard of
Strawberry-hill? Who is not aware of the thousand'
and-one tales of beauty, wit, and fashion, associated
with its Gothic walls? and where is it possible for the
novelist to have looked for materials more attractive than
exist in the career of its most entertaining founded
" Strawberry-hill" for his subject, with Horace Wal-
pole for his hero, ought to afford him an inexhaustible
fund of entertainment to draw upon; and in the handds
of a writer so favourably known to the public by ho
picturesque use of historical incidents and personages'
as the author of " Shakspeare and his Friends," and
" Maids of Honour," we might be sure such admirable
resources would be employed in a manner the most OW
ducive to the reader's amusement and his own reputa-
tion. The singular cleverness of the book is already n
subject of conversation in literary circles.
