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-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less Injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
,he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention 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 man who can show by his posse sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT 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 experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

A letter from Lemberg of the sth states that a
Polish emissary, named Dybowsky, has just been brought
to that place. A price was last year set on his head, and
ho was arrested in the Bukowin, when demanding horses
eta posting-house.

(From the Times.)
We received this morning, at three o'clock, by ex-
press from Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation 01
the overland mails, which left Bombay on the 11th,
ult. They were sent on that day in the small colo-
nial staemer Seaforth to Ceylon, instead of being dis-
patched as previously on the 15th of the month.
Much dissatisfaction was felt at Bombay in conse-
quence of this abrupt instance of irregularity, which
was considered to be chiefly attributable to the bad
management of the steamers of the Indian navy, not
one of which was disposable for the 15th to carry the
mails direct to Aden. The departure of the mid-
monthly mails from Bombay was therefore forestalled
by four days, and many persons in the interior must
have been disappointed in sending letters to Europe.
The news thus received is of considerable interest
and importance.
It was stated in our last dispatch that a conspiracy
was known to be concocting in Lahore. The Bri-
tish authorities, being aware of its existence, resolved
to crush it in the bud, and at nine o'clock in the
evening of the 20th of August, Ranee Chunda, the
Queen-Mother of Dhuleep Singh, the young Maha-
raja of Lahore, was taken from the Palace and con-
veyed under an escort to Shaikhoopra, a fort about
twenty miles distant, in which former intriguing
Princesses were confined. The intrigues, in a poli-
tical sense, as well as otherwise, of Ranee Chunda
have been notorious. One of the last was her causing
her son the Maharaja to insult publicly Tej Singh, the
Prime Minister, by refusing to give him the royal
mark on the forehead (called the tiluk) at the time of
his installation as Raja. This intriguess was at the
head of all the disaffected in Lahore, and her re-
moval from power will have the effect of neutral-
izing many of their schemes—at least for a time.
The Prime Minister, Tej Singh, is a decided friend
of the British, and therefore the object of much
hatred to the ex-Queen and her partisans. The
British officers are on the alert. The troops at La-
hore being highly paid, are to be changed annually,
in order to give equal benefit to the various regiments
in the north-west of India.
The most dangerous period of the year at Lahore is
the Dussera, which takes place in Octobor ; but the
utmost vigilance is observed by Sir John Littler and
all the troops under his command.

Tranquillity continued to prevail on the banks of
the Indus, although some symptoms were exhibited of
a willingness amongst the Beloochees of the hills to
resume their old practice of plundering the plains.
Nothing was known in Bombay of the intentions
of Sir Charles Napier. Much speculation was afloat
in consequence of a report received from England
that he was to be named Commander-in-Chief of
the army in India on the retirement of Lord
Gough. He has declined a public testimonial, which
some of the officers in Sinde wished to present to his
lady, as being contrary to the spirit of the military
regulations.

From Affghanistan and Peshawur there is no re-
markable intelligence.

The Governor-General was stated to be about to
proceed to Oude, in order to enter into arrangements
with the King, who is described as willing to cede
the sovereignty to the Hon. Company and to retire,
upon his being insured a pension commensurate with
his rank.

In the Rajpoot States, Doongur Singh is yet at
large, and fears are entertained of the continuance of

was lately captured, and his arrest has had the effect
of rendering the chief bandit somewhat cautious in

cable confusion as before. The tunic Wilt,. sus.,

struggling into existence, has been arrested in its
progress. The Treasurer of the State refused to

accept the orders drawn by it on his office. Assign-
ments on the revenue of the districts were next pro-
posed, but the Minister would not consent, stating the
disinclination of the British Resident to sanction such
a circulation as the Exchequer-bills of the Nizam.

The embarrassments of the Government for money
were still as great as ever, and the usual results of in-

subordination amongst the troops and disaffection and

confusion amongst the employ& are seen throughout

;hat country.

The chief item of intelligence from Bombay re-
ates to the discussion respecting the memorials sent
to the Court of Directors from the young officers of
the Indian navy. The conduct of Sir Robert Oliver,

_ .
who has long held the office of superintendent, was

much canvassed.

The rains, which set is with such fury in the be-
ginning of the monsoon, had become slack for several
weeks in July and August; but in the beginning of
September they recommenced, and a very favourable
season would, it was hoped, ensue throughout India.
Our intelligence from Hong-Kong is to the 25th
of August. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Pekin had arrived on the 16th, with dates from Lon-
don to the 24th of June. The news of the Canton
expedition in April having then just been received
and published in London, speculation was rife upon
the future, and the next coming mail was looked to
with great interest, as likely to develop the views of
Government. All remained quiet at Canton, but
there was an uneasy feeling still existing.
The export of tea from the Ist of July amounted
to 7,371,0001 b., being 4,000,0001 b. in excess com-
pared with the same period last year, in consequence,
It was said, of the early arrival of the new teas. Some
of the new silk had arrived at Canton, and as high as

445 dollars had been paid for Tsatlee. Little was ex-

pected to come down this season.

Teas were slow in arriving from the interior. In silk
there had been considerable business doing. A good

to sail on the following day for England with about
1,000 bales. The Achilles had arrived at Woosung
from Hong-Kong, and the Litherland from Liver-
pool. The ships in port were—Francis Burn, John
Christian, J Garnett, and Sarah Trootman. They
were loading very slowly.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
CALCUTTA.
(From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Sept. 7.)
The improvement in the. general appearance of

business which was manifesting itself at the departure
of the last mail has continued, an active demand
having been experienced for all articles of export from
this country. Sugar, which was in little inquiry for
some days previous, came more into favour on a slight
decline in freights taking place, and the transactions
have been on an extensive scale. Rice bas also par-
taken of the activity, and large quantities have gone
forward. In all other articles the demand has been
good, and generally speaking the position of mercan-
tile affairs here is healthy. The market for imports
has also assumed a more active appearance, the de-
mand for manufactured goods being brisk, and large
ales are reported at rather improving rates for
shippers. In metals generally there hat been also
more doing, still the demand is not by
any means
so brisk as might be looked for at this season
of the year. The increasing easiness in the money
market, which was manifesting itself, has .continued
steadily to improve, and althougV the' batiks have
not reduced further their rates`of discOunt, ac-
commodation on good securities is pricurable in the
bazaar on more moderate terms, Gtivernment secu-
rities have advanced in value, and are onlykept at
their present figure by the five per cent. loan remain-
ing open. In Bank shares there has not been much
disposition shown to operate. The-North-Western
Bank of India and Agra and United
have each declared a dividend at the Service Bank
rate., of ,12 per
cent. per annum on paid-up capital.
The Haddington steamer, with Loden dates up
to the 24th of July, arrived on the evening of the
4th instant, the intelligence by which, although gene-
rally speaking of a favourable tenor; does rtot notice
any improvement in the position of East India staples
in the home markets. Sugars still continue very low,
and the prices at which indigo had been sold at the
July sales must entail a heavy loss on shippers of the
article from this country. It is gratifying, however,
to learn the flourishing appearance of the coming
crops, which has caused an improvement in the ma-
nufacturing districts, and it may fairly be hoped that
when an abundant harvest is beyond doubt Colonial
produce generally will improve.

pleted manufacture, the result of which has in some
instances been more favourable than could have been
of the
expected ; some, however, have not been so fortunate,
and on the whole not more than an average season can
be looked for. Tirhoot has experienced constant
rains, coupled with which the inundation has been
higher than for many years past, most of the lands
having been completely put under water, and in many
instances even the manufacturing houses have been
rendered useless, consequently a considerable decrease
must be looked for from this district. Bhaugulpore
has also suffered from the same causes, and there is
now little chance of its doing better than last year.
The latest advices from Benares and Alirzapore give
a most gloomy account of their prospects, the Ganges
having risen higher than it has been known to do for
the last 20 years, by which some of the lands under
indigo cultivation were inundated, so that there is
little chance of even an average season from that
quarter. Taking a general view of the whole coun-
try, there is little to lead to the hope that the quantity
available for export from Calcutta will exceed the
figure given of 115,000 maunds, and should the late
intelligence be confirmed there is still room for a con-
siderable falling off.

Sugar—The improvement noticed in the demand
for this staple has continued, confined chiefly how-
ever to the finer descriptions of Benares, which have
found ready sale at a trifling advance of previous
prices. The advices just received have not had time
to influence the market yet, nor does there appear any-
thing in them calculated to cause any very material
change either in demand or price.

Saltpetre—The high prices ruling in the Lon-
don market for this article have induced a little more
inquiry here, the demand, however, is far from gene-
ral, most parties being deterred by high freights, and
the news from home is not of a nature to give more
increased confidence, advising as they do large
arrivals of nitrate of soda, which must decrease con-
sumption, so that there is little prospect of shipments
from this country being large until a decided decline
in freights is established.
The French have been purchasing freely, and
former prices are well maintained.
A large amount of business has been done in this
staple during the month, without, however, any
alteration in price, the stocks on hand being heavy,
and holders ready sellers at current rates. Late ad-
vices from the Mauritius mention that a considerable
advance had taken place in that market, the qualities

Oil Seeds-The demand for the American market
for linseed having ceased, there has been nothing
doing, and the accounts from England not being suffi-
ciently encouraging to induce parties to pay the high
rates of freight now ruling. Mustard seed has also
been neglected.
Jute-The inquiry for this article has been steady,
and parcels as they come to hand find ready sale at
full prices, and on the finer sorts an improvement is
perceptible. The rates now current are for low to
fair, 10r. to 10r. Ba. per bale ; and good to fair, llr
to 12r.

Hides—Throughout the past months the demand
for the English market has been languid, and shippers
were only induced to operate by holders submitting
to a reduction on previous rates ; this in many in-
stances they were obliged to do, in consequence of
agents here having declined advancing on goods
shipped on native account.
For America there has been a good deal doing both
in cow and buffalo; the French have also been buyers
to a large extont.
Cotton—The local transactions in this article have
been sm9ll, the shipments which have gone forward
being generally on account of the importers. Exports
in August to Singapore and China were 2,348 bales,
or 8,541 maunds.

Opium—Late advices from China give a more fa-
vourable account of this drug, and the market here,
which was very dull, has revived, and a considerable
advance been established. Patna is now worth 1,2204
and Benares 1,205 per chest. Stock in the Company's
Godowns of th• former is 1,130 chests, and of the
latter 384 chests.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
British Cotton Piece Goods—For the principal de-
scription of goods under this head there has been a
brisk demand during the month. In grey shirtings
the qualities selling at 4r. 10a. to 4r. 12a. continue
most in favour, but within the last few days there
has been more inquiry for the heavier descriptions
ranging from sr. to 6r., and the prices now offering
are a little in advance of those procurable some time
back, the reported sales of the month are 70,000
pieces, showing a considerable increase on the same
period last year. White have been selling more
freely, as is usual at this season of the year, when the
demand for bleached fabrics is generally brisk. Gray
Jaconets have not been in so good demand as last
month, the reported sales only amounting to about
30,000 pieces against in the month of July upwards
of double that quantity ; prices,; however, have not
undergone any material alteration. Bleached have
been in better demand, the reported sales of the month
amounting to upwards of 40,000 pieces at, rmaices.

Manchester fabrics are only saleable at losing
pr.ces. ; Scotch goods of all descriptions are very dull,
in fact, have been nearly unsaleable for some time
past. There has been a pretty fair inquiry for the
lower descriptions of woollens, which have been pur-
chased to some extent for Rangoon, but prices are
still very low.
We have to correct a typographical error in our
last in the table of "comparative statements of im-
ports and reported sales" under the head of "sales of
grey shirtings for twelve months, ending 31st of July,
1847," read 13,90,765, instead of 23,90,765.

BOMBAY.
(From the Bombay Times.)

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCK, SEPT. 10.
The occurrence of a few native holidays having
interfered with the course of business during the short
period that has elapsed since our last dispatch, dated
the 30th ult., our report by the present mail is con-
sequently meagre, and presents but a limited record
of transactions.

The import market has undergone little or no
change ; but we are happy to be enabled to state that
the weather continues highly favourable for the crops,
rain having fallen in some quantity at the Presidency
since our last advices, and there is every appearance
of its having been pretty general.

Cotton ganufacfures—s-These fabrics are in much
the same position as last noticed. Rather more
disposition has been evinced by importers to rea-
lise, but in prices there is no change except for the
qualities of bleached shirting, and the better
kinds of gray jacconet, both of which descriptions
have been in request, and are a few annas per
piece higher in value. Gray madapollam has
also enjoyed a good demand, which has been freely
met by importers, and the sales of this cloth are large
—forming, indeed, the chief operations since last
mail, but at no improvement in prices. Gray shirt-
ing of all kinds has become again dull, and domestics
are still but in limited demand. In Scotch goods
the transactions have been very unimportant. The
inquiry noticed in our last for dyed goods and prints,
in Turkey red, continues, but the low prices offered
are an impediment to transactions, the only sale that
we have heard of being 500 pieces Turkey red
prints, 23 inches 28 yards, at 10 rupees per piece.
The orders in the bazaar from the country are appa-
rently trifling as yet, and as the local dealers have
laid in some stocks of cotton goods, they are not at
present very anxious to augment them.
Cotton Yarn—lmporters in general are looking for
an advance in prices, and refuse to sell at present
rates, so that the business done in the last eleven
days is very contracted, sales being limited to a few
trifling parcels, say 135 bales in all of "Mule," Nos.
20, 50, and 60, at annas 6i, 91, and annas 9i per lb.
respectively. Orange twist is still in request at our
quotations. Turkey red continues very dull of sale,
and we are informed only of the disposal of 16 bales
of 2001 b. each, of good quality, at Ir. 9a. per lb.
Woollens—There is some inquiry, but at offers too
low to admit of sales.
Metals—British bar iron continues in request, and
a further advance could be obtained, but holders are
indisposed to sell. The stock in first and second
hands is now reduced to about 10,000 candies, and
for a good assortment 40rs. per candy would no doubt
be given. Swedish does not participate in the ad-
vance, and is dull of sale. Other descriptions of iron
are without change, and no transactions in any of
them have transpired. In copper, nothing, that we
are aware of, has been done, and prices are stationary,
notwithstanding that the supplies here and on the
way out are very moderate. In lead, spelter, or tin-
plates, we have not heard of any transactions, and
they continue as before reported ; the last-named
article is very scarce. Swedish steel in tubs has been ,
sold to the extent of 1,000 cwt., at 91 rupees per cwt.
Cochineal—The market has become dull for this
article, and in the absence of transactions our quota.
tions must be considered nominal.
Saffron—Some sales of this article have been re-
ported to us, say 48 pounds at 12 rupees per pound,
and 400 pounds at 10 rupees and 14 rupees per pound.
We judge from these prices that the quality must
have been inferior, though some of it is said to have
been good.
Beer—A further limited supply of Allsopp and
Bass is in the market. Sales of both these brands
have been effected to the extent of 100 hhds., in about
equal quantities of each, at
