M. 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 em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution an worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to deneestie happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and Justice demand that health shouldform aaitem
in the compact ; tt 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 vole., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter yea, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere 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. id.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
amphlets, but equal in quantity a library volame, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, 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 inculcate—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 bad of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street ; and all

RICE MILK.

A quart of skim milk, and a quarter of a pound of
rice, with a little bit of allspice and brown sugar, will
make a cheap and dainty dish.
RICE AND TURNIPS.-(A SCOTCH DISH.)

Use Swedish in preference to garden turnips, cut
into pieces the size of 'potatoes, boiled two or three
hours, the water well pressed out, then mixed with an
equal quantity of rice, which has been thoroughly
boiled in the meantime. Add a little butter, gravy
dripping, or lard, salt and pepper to taste.

(Extract from the Liverpool Mercury, Oct. 16, 1846.)
" We have tried the above, it has been partaken of
by many friends, and a unanimous verdict pronounces
it a most agreeable substitute for potatoes, than which
it is far cheaper, and far more nutritious and whole-
some. It is proposed to name the dish ricenips,' to
indicate the union of which it consists. The usual
turnip of the kitchen garden, with its vulgar bitter
taste, is not to be compared with the Swedish, or field
turnip, for this dish."

THE Public is hereby informed that the Part-
nership hitherto existing between Messrs. HUNT and
WALLEY was mutually DISSOLTED on the 20th ultimo, and by
virtue of a covenant in deed of Dissolution the whole of the Stock
must be converted into Cash immediately.
In order to carry out this determination, by disposing of so ex-
tensive a property, and to insure a speedy settlement of affairs, it
has been determined upon to offer the whole of the Stock held under
the partnership at from one-half to two-thirds of the cost prices.
This stock, selected from the principal depo.s of British and
Foreign Manufacturers, embraces a magnificent assemblage of
Shawls, Silks, Lace, Ribbons, Fancy Goods, and every variety of
fashionable attire, besides an immense value of every kind of House-
hold and Family Linen, Drapery, Foreign and Irish Damasks,
Blankets, Flannels, Quilts, &c., the principal part of the latter having
been at all times kept in the warerooms, will be found quite fresh,
and free from the slightest imperfection.
It is hardly requisite to state, that it is under no ordinary circum-
stances that the present sacrifices would be submitted to, the advan-
tages to be derived by the public have certainly never been excelled,
or rarely equalled ; and as the whole of tile Stock will be most ad-
vantageously arranged for inspection throughout the various rooms
og the Establishment, and every article legibly marked in plain
figures, Ladies will do well to embrace the earliest opportunity of
inspecting, if only for the information to be derived, as a guide to
making purchases in future.
The superior character of merchandise vended by this establish-
ment being so generally well known throughout the metropolis, and
so univasally notorious for cheapeess in the ordinary routine of
basiness, must, with the reduction before stated (viz., from one half
to two-thirds of the cost prices), be quite sufficient for the public to
form an opinion of the extreme reasonable prices that will be
marked upon the goods, and render it quite unnecessary to make
any quotations, as they could convey but a very imperfect idea of
the bargains which may be expected.
The sale will commence on 3loisria7 mottrallo NIXT, at Ten
o'clock, and will be continued each day until Seven o'clock in the

REPORTS.

The following reports were brought up and agreed to,
and the Bills ordered to be committed:—

Birmingham District Fire Insurance Company.
Protestant Dissenters and General Life and Fire In-
surance Company.
Llynvi Iron Company.
Mr. FOSTER presented a petiton complaining of the
light dues.
Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from the execu-
tors of Mr. M. B. 'frisbane, a gentleman who died in
India, complaining that after they had pa!el legacy duty
to the Crown, the Courts had decided that it.
could not be demanded. The Honourable Member gage
notice that to-morrow he would move that the petition
be printed with the votes, with the view of founding a
motion upon it.
Mr. ELLIS presented, a petition from Coventry com-
plaining of the law of settlement.
POOR LAW FOR IRELAND.
Mr. P. SCROPE presented nine or ten petitions from
diff,rent parishes in the county of Cork, all praying that
the House would be pleased to
pass a complete poor-
law for Ireland similar to the English law, and which
would give a right to the able-bodied to out-
door relief ; they also prayed the House not to place
any confidence in the objections to such a measure of
those who styled themselves the Irish party, who by no
means represented the wishes and the feelings of the
great body of the Irish people. The petitions had
been signed by the rate-payers in the different
parishes—one from Skibbereen had obtained the signa-
tures of one thousand inhabitants, and the Catholic
clergyman had assured him that had it been allowed to
remain another day, it would have received at least
twenty thousand signatures.
PRIVATE BILLS.

Mr. HUME said it might be recollected that in the
last session the House had agreed to a report on certain
private Bills with a view to economy, and the establish-
ment of a system of uniformity in the mode of conduct-
ing the business of the House. The Committee recom-
mended that no private Bill should be allowed to proceed
until the sense of the House was taken upon its merits.
lie would, therefore, move that the House do agree to
the fiat report of the Committee.
Lord G. SOMERSET would wish to be infcrmed at
what reriud the private Bills would come before the
House ?
Mr. STRUTT said that on Thursday next he would
place such Bills as related to railway legislation on
•the table of the House. He could only speiik for those
four Bills which had already passed, the first stage in
the House.
After some further discussion,
At the suggestion of Mr. CARDWELL, the further
consideration of the motion was postponed till Thursday
next.

tants in their union, and that they had endeavoured to carry
out the provisions of the Poor Removal Act, but they de-
sired to state their unanimous opinion, that the law, as ex-
plained and laid down by the Attorney-General, was fraught
with the most serious injury and inconvenience
The Honourable Gentleman also presented several petitions
from the counties of Dorset and Somerset, praying for the aboli-
tion of the law of settlement, and the institution of a
national rate. He had also to present a petition from Bridport
to the same effect.

THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS.

Mr. E. DENISON would take the liberty of stating to the
House the course valich he intended to pursue. The motion
of which he had given notice was that a Committee be ap-
pointed to inquire into and report upon the constitution of the
Ecclesiastical Commission. Since he had given that
notice the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern-
ment had intimated his intention to introduce a Bill
for the purpose of altering the constitution of that Com-
mission. Under those circumstances, he considered that
it would be rather a retrograde step than one in advance, if he
asked the House for a Committee, as the Noble Lord had
himself acknowledged the necessity of a reform. He would,
therefore, beg leave to postpone his motion until this day
fortnight.
London, England, 1847-03-02

CL'ERKENWELL.

George Smith, who was described on the police-sheet as a
printer, residing at 4, Clare-court, Clare-market, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Greenwood, charged, at the instance of
the Excise, with having unlawfully in his possession a quan-
tity of illicit spirits, without a permit, contrary to the sta-
tute of 6 George IV., chap. 80, which subjected him to a
penalty of 1001., or six months' imprisonment.
A solicitor from the Excise-office attended for the prose-
cution. _ _

It appeared that some Excise officers were searching a
house in Ballock-alley, Whitecross street, St. Luke's, where
"jigger" spirits were sold. A knock came at the door,
whkh being opened, the prisoner was found with a basket
containing three bladders, in which were five gallons of
illicit spirits. The prisoner had no permit, and he was
taken to the station-house. On inquiries at 4, Clare-court,
which address the prisoner gave, he was found not to be
living there, but at 9, George-street, Camberwell, where the
officers discovered a private still at work, which they seized.
A turnpike ticket was found in the prisoner's possession,
from which it was evident that he must, just before his ap-
prehension, have driven through the Green Man gate, near
Camberwell.
Mr. Gexx3rwoon remarked, that the practice of selling
Such pernicious stuff as " jigger " spirits, which were worse
than poison, had become very prevalent in St. Luke's. Ile
read the Act of Parliament to the prisoner, which said, the
penalty was 1001, but it might be mitigated to one-fourth,
and in default to six or three months' imprisonment. In
this instance he would not mitigate, and he convicted the
prisoner in the penalty of 100/. or six months' imprisonment,
leaving him, if he thought proper, to apply to the Commis-
sioners of Excise.
Charles Learner, Robert Gladstone, Edward Jones, John
Murphy, and Jane Goulden, were charged with being con-
cerned in the following robbery :
They entered the house of Mrs. Mills, the Red Lion and
Punch Bowl, St. John's-street, Clerkenwell, on Monday morn-
ing, and went into the tap-roont. They called for some
porter, and during the temporary absence of Miss Mills from
the bar, they contrived between them to plunder the till of
ss. 3d. Todd, 221, Martin, 122, and 46 G, were called in,
and they took the prisoners into custody.
The prisoners denied the charge, but they were fully
committed for trial. Learner and Gladstone were admitted
to bail.

REPORTS.

The following reports were brought up and agreed to,
and the Bills ordered to be committed:—

Birmingham District Fire Insurance Company.
Protestant Dissenters and General Life and Fire In-
surance Company.
Llynvi Iron Company.
Mr. FOSTER presented a petiton complaining of the
light dues.
Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from the execu-
tors of Mr. M. B. Trisbane, a gentleman who died in
India, complaining that after they had paid legacy duty
to the Crown, the Courts had decided that it
could not be demanded. The Honourable Member gave
notice that to-morrow he would move that the petition
be printed with the votes, with the view of founding a
motion upon it.

Mr. ELLIS presented a petition from Coventry com-
plaining of the law of settlement.

POOR-LAW FOR IRELAND.
Mr. P. SC ROPE presented nine or ten petitions from
different parishes in the county of Cork, all praying that
the House would be pleased to pass a complete poor-
law for Ireland similar to the English law, and which
would give a right to the able-bodied to out-
door relief ; they also prayed the House not to place
any confidence in the objections to such a measure of
those who styled themselves the Irish party, who by no
means represented the wishes and the feelings of the
great body of the Irish people. The petitions had
been signed by the rate-payers in the different
parishes—one from Skibbereeta had obtained the signa-
tares of one thousand inhabitants, and the Catholic
clergyman had assured him that had it been allowed to
remain another day, it would have received at least
twenty thousand signatures.
PRIVATE BILLS.
Mr. lIUME said it might be recollected that in the
last session the House had agreed to a report on certain
private Bills with a view to economy, and the establish-
ment of a system of uniformity in the mode of conduct-
ing the business of the House. The Committee recom-
mended that no private Bill should be allowed to proceed
until the sense of the House was taken upon its merits.
He would, therefore, move that the House do agree to
the first report of the Committee.
Lord G. SOMERSET would wish to bo informed at
what period the private Bills would come before the
House ?
Mr. STRUTT said that on Thursday next he would
place such Bills as related to railway legislation on
the table of the House. He could only speak for those

four Bills which had already passed: the first stage in
the House.

After some further discussion,
At the suggestion of Mr. CARDWELL, the further
consideration of the motion was postponed till Thursday
next.

THE NEW ZEALAND BILL.

Sir R. 11. INGLIS complained of this Bill being
placed in the list of private Bills. It was one of
such importance that it should have been placed in a more
prominent position for the consideration of the House.
lie thought it was not a Bill which ought to pass as a
private Bill. It gave large powers to the New Zealand
authorities—powers which might be necessary for the
local legislature, but a Bill containing such provisions
was not such a Bill as ought to pass through as a matter
of form and of course. Ile hoped the Government would
give it their attention before it came on for a second
reading.

Lord J. RUSSELL said the Bid belonged to another
department, but the Government would certainly give it
their attention.

Mr. HUME said that was a proper opportunity to
call the attention of the Government to the principle
adopted by the House last session, It was then deter-
mined that no private Bill should be read a first time
until it had been introduced und,r some public depart-
ment, as that would afford some security that the public
interests would not be abused.

POOR RELIEF (IRELAND).
Mr. SHAW gave notice that, in Committee upon the
Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, he would move a number of
amendments.

BUILDINGS ACT.

Mr. FOSTER wished to know whether the House
might expect the Government to lay upon the table
any measure for the amendment of the Buildings'
Act, passed some time since ?
Lord MORPETH said that the subject had been
under the consideration of the House, and he hoped
shortly.to be able to lay it upon the table of the House.
