One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
'sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself ender the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social contest. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item
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. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
ar prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hiadered
oy mialuterpretatiors 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 antagbaistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by anqaalified 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 scribbllngs of the hour, but the study of the author's
Ilfe,wlio 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 atter 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 ; Carvalho, 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 evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all
Booksellers.

TUE SMITHFIELD CATTLE SHOW.—The arrange-
ments for the approaching annual cattle show of the
Smithfield Club, at the Horse Bazaar, in King•street,
Portman-square, are rapidly approaching towards com-
pletion, and aro upon a more extensive scale than usual.
The arrivals of cattle and sheep up to the present time
are more numerous than usual. They are in many in-
stances in very splendid condition, and mostly arrived
during Friday night from the northern and western
counties by railway. The contributions of his Royal
Highness Prince Albert from the Flemish farm at
Windsor are expected this day. Amongst the other
contributors of stock, most of which has arrived, are
stated to be several fine specimens of sheep of the
Southdown and Leicester breeds, from the President of
the Smithfield Club, the Duke of Richmond, from the
Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Bedford, Lord Portman,
the Earl of Leicester, Earl Spencer, &c. There will
also this year bo a great augmentation of stands for the
exhibition of agricultural produce, the most prominent
of which is that of the Messrs. Gibbs, of Piccadilly, the
seedsmen to the Royal Agricultural Society of England.
Eight o'clock this evening, by the rules of the club, is
appointed as the latest hour for the reception of stock,
and to-morrow the judges will make their awards, after
which the Bazaar will be lighted for a private view. The
exhibition will be opened to the public on Wednesday
morning, at eight o'clock, and continue open until ►Sa-
turday night, closing at nine each evening.
