REVIXVI OF THE WORK.

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There aro
scenes in thp drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
Into which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
ot masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who aro tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing In these
Pages Is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions ot
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

M One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
rupposing them married, questionahly contented. DUlMenet, er a
ease of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
ss:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret un-
eoretprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. rhysical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should ferns as item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
cheat surmises concern yen, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in Z vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ey 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 en
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone er
.ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittlo publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
&void," and " How to be Nappy." They are net merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hoar, but the study of the author's
Ife, 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

ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS.—Last
evening a quarterly general court of the governors and
subscribers of this institution was held at the offices,
No. 7, Bloomsbury-place, Bloomsbury-square. It ap-
peared from the report that this institution, which was
established in 1798, first received under its fostering pro-
tection 20 of the sons of indigent and deceased brethren,
but now, by the increased patronage it received, and the
liberal contributions of the lodges and brethren, the
number had been extended to 70. The number of boys
who have been clothed and educated up to the present
period amounts to upwards of 700. There are at pre-
sent under the guardianship of the institution 58 boys,
but an election of 12 more is about to take place. The
u-ual quarterly business having been gone through, the
meeting separated.

CHEAP OMNIBUS FARES.—Yesterday evening a
large meeting of gentlemen connected with various
public offices in the city, took place at the Pine Apple
Tavern, Hungerford-market, with the view of consider-
ing the propriety of getting up something in the shape
of a substantial testimonial to Mr. Joseph Crawford, as,
in their opinion, the originator of the cheap omnibus
fares from Paddington to Hungerford-market. Resolu-
tions in accordance with the objects of the meeting were
put and carried, and after much discussion the meeting
adjourned.
The mercantile advices from Vienna of the 26th of
December mention that the funds, and also the foreign
exchanges, remained without alteration. Some little
improvement was otiservable in business in consequence
of the renewal of communication with those portions of
Hungary into which the advance of tho Imperial troops
had taken place,
