31- 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-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himircif under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
coistprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
cid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour-and justice demand that health should form au item
tii the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or
mglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERIVELL'S little
EMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
tacit (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
reined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor he hindered
oy rnhanterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are xot intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for tie closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whore
they are offered as antagonistic to the eixpyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
:Pile publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 61) 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—to do unto others as hi
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 had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street ; Mann,
Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by port or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Megent-street ; and all
Booksellers.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] DEBILITATED CONSTITU•
TIONS, DISORDERED LIVER, BILE, AND INDIGESTION,
CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—The good effects pro-
duced by this salutary medicine are really extraordinary
and speak volumes in favour of its excellence in the cure
of impaired digestion, bile, diseases of the liver and
chest. The benefits derived from the use of Holloway's
pills in these complaints are permanent, as the whole
system is completely renovated, by inducing a healthy
action of the liver, strengthening the organs of digestion,
and promoting a free respiration. Persons suffering from
any of these disorders should immediately have recourse
to this established remedy, to insure a safe, certain, and
speedy cure. Sold by all vendors of medicines; and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
THE SANITARY QUESTlON.—Thursday a meeting
of the vestrymen of St. Anne's, Limehouse, was held at
the Town-hall, to consider what measures should be
adopted for the removal of a nuisince complained of
with reference to the sewer, which empties itself into
the Limekiln-doek. and to consider the propriety of
addreA,ing A memorial to the commissioners at (4,v3dyr-
honse, in reference to the defectile state of alit sewerage
in that parish.—Mr. Bugg. upper church srden, in the
chair. Dr. Adolphus Barnet said the first• case of choler*.
that took place in that parish when tl.e country was
visited by that calamity a few years ago, was that of an
old woman, who was attacked while employed at her
avocations at the mouth of this sewer. Many of the
inhabitants stated that the emanations from this sewer
were injurious to their trades. Butchers could not
keep their meat, which soon became tainted. He
had taken the trouble to analyse the water of the Lime-
kiln-dock, and he found the principal ingredients
of it to be sulphuretted hydrogen, a deadly poison, and
a gas liquor. These two gases, taken together, were
quite sufficient to produce all the various forms of fever,
and to assist cholera in producing fatal results. The
sewer complained of was one of the main sewers under
the control of the late Commissioners of Sewers of the
Tower Hamlets, and accumulated the sewage from
Bethnal green, Mile-end Old Town, and part of Spital-
fields. He thought that its course might be carried
through New Poplar and under the river Lea to the
marshes, where it might be applied for the purpose of
irrigation to the land. He moved that a committee be
appointed to draw up a memorial on the defective
sewerage of the parish, and the existing nuisance com-
plained of with reference to the sewer which empties
itself in the Limekiln-dock, suggesting the most prac-
ticable means of obtaining its removal, and that the
committee form a deputation to present the said memorial
to the Commissioners of Sewers. The resolution was
unanimously agreed to, when thanks were voted to the
chairman, and the meeting separated.
'IDE BURMESE THRONE.—Thursday afternoon
the celebrated Burmese Throne, or Rath, belonging to
Mr. Batty, of Astley's Theatre, left that establishment,
drawn by the team of enormous camels en route for
LiverpooL The novelty of such an equipage attracted
a vast crowd, which increased as it progressed. The
animals becoming alarmed at the shouts of the people
when in Parliament-street, started off at full gallop, the
camel-drivers having much difficulty in keeping up with
them. Opposite the Horse Guards the foremost animals
fell down, and the entire team rolled over them, the
Burmese throne narrowly escaping destruction. After
a time the unwieldy creatures were extricated, and
reached the railway at Euston-square without further
mishap.
=THE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME.—We are informed
that Mr. John Cooke, of the Chase, near Ross, has sold
the Snigsend estate, at Corse and Staunton, near
Gloucester, to Mr. Feargus O'Connor. The estate com-
prises about 250 acres, and the price was 12,0001.

EXEMPLARY CONDUCT OF THE PEOPLE.—It is
worthy of remark, that notwithstanding
nugtmhber
edoisuttreossf
which prevails in Bolton, and the great
employment, the business of the police-court is • con-
siderably diminished. On Monday there was not a
single charge of felony at the Borough court, nor yet a
warrant case.
