One half the wort/ are desolately single, and the ether
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
congprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
aliti broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and modal content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little

relined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hiadered
by misinterpretatior, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
tor 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. 6g.) 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 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—ta do unto others as he
would be done unto—te live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
en the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had et

ASSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE CRISIS.—It is
gratifying to record the fact that, notwithstanding the
present depression in all branches of trade, the business
transacted by the generallity of assurance companies
during the past month has been equal to that transact( d
during more favourable periods. Perhaps the anxiety
of traders to rescue their wives and children from the
impending wreck of their fortunes by the aid of these
companies may offer some solution of this.—Civil and
Mercantile Journal (new number).
THE MAMMOTH SALE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.
—Yesterday, the extensive stud of horses, ponies,
camels, with the two stupendous elephants, were brought
to the hammer by Mr. Tattersall. Unlike the attend-
ance of the two former days, there was a much more
numerous meeting, including a few of our leading no-
bility in the sporting world, and many well-known
turfites, with a number of dealers. The sale was without
reserve, and many of the horses were disposed of at fair
prices, while others went for a small figure. The
" Waterloo Ground" was selected as the spot, as offering
a good opportunity for the display of the animals' paces
and quality, There were 60 horses and 16 ponies sold.
The two noble elephants went at the unprecedentedly
low figure of 100 guineas each, which, with eight camels
and seven of the finest horses, were purchased by Mr.
Batty, of the Amphitheatre. Leo, a noble dog, of the
bloodhound breed, brought 12 guineas. The greatest
surprise was manifested by all present at the insignifi-
cant sum which the elephants went for, 7001. or 1,0001
being confidently looked for by their sale.
SUICIDE.--About half-past nine o'clock on Monday
morning, a man unlrnown, of middlo stature, dressed in
a black coat and vest and corduroy trousers, called at
Mr. Farrell's, Temperance Coffee-house, No. 4, Casneau-
street, and asked for the key to look at the next house,
which was to be let. The key was given to him by a

female, but as it was not returned, she went in about an
front parlour, saw the key lying upon the chimney-piece.
She closed the window, which the man must have opened,
and went out, locking the door after her, supposing all to
be right. About half-past three o'clock, a person, having
got the key to see the house, found the deceased lying
dead in a pool of blood on, the floor of the first back bed-
room, with his throat cut, and a razor lying about a
quarter of a yard from him.—Liverpool Standard.
MoNEr ORDERS.—Mr. Rowland Hill, notwith-
standing the vast increase in this department of the Post-
office, entertains the opinion—and his opinion on such a
matter is entitled to the utmost weight—that the produce
of granting money orders is unprofitable to the State. We
had always imagined that the immense number of post-
office orders which are issued produced a handsome and
a profitable return; but when we consider the number of
clerks employed, and the vast sum of money which must
be constantly sunk in carrying on the operations with
regularity, and which yields no interest, we confess that
our opinion on the matter has been somewhat shaken by
the expression of Mr. Hill's calculations.—Civil and
Mercantile Journal of November.
