Marriage requires the fulfilment of several cenclitions. 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
deed 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
the nature and consequence ot whlah this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the hisnan 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 w hat subject can
oe 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 tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
rrequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ho
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
!Jscase, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
•siedical man who can show by hi.; posse. sion of the requisite legal
malifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes-
,ional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
I.A.'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
marantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. Todd, solicitor, of Thavies-inno applied to Alder-
man Finnis for advice on the subject of the use to which
a room upon the premises of Mr. Salter, the proprietor
of the King's Arms Tavern, on Snow-hill, was turned
by a body of Chartist. Mr. Salter attended upon the
occ ision with his solicitor.
Mr. Todd said the object of his client was to prevent
the Chartists who assembled on his premises from meet-
ing there. Mr. Salter was rather peculiarly situated.
The gentleman from whom he bad taken the house had
accepted as tenants of the room in question two persons,
who disposed of it just as they pleased, and meetings
wore in consequence of that, arrem;,ement held there.
Fortunately, at the end of a month, the engagement
would terminate. In the interval, however, it was the
anxious wish of Mr. Salter that his house should not be
the scene of any illegal or unconstitutional proceedings,
and for the purpose of preventing anything of the kind,
he considered it to be necessary to make application to
the Lord Mayor, or to any magistrate who should re-
present his Lordship.
Alderman Finnis referred the applicant to the Corn •
missioner of the City Police, who would, he had ❑o
doubt, make such regulations us would relieve Mr. Salter
from the annoyance. He thought there would be very
little difficulty in dealing with the case, as seditious lan-
guage was used in the place.
GUILDHALL.
A foreigner, named Harm Frederick Kohn, was again
brought up before Alderman Gibbs on the charge of
uttering a forged bill of exchange for 210/., at the bank-
ing-house of Messrs. Hoare and Co., in Fleet-street.
The evidence taken on this occasion threw no addi-
tional light on the subject; the defence of the prisoner
being that he had received the bill from an elderly man
who came into a coffee-shop in New-street, Cuvent-
garden, and who asked him to go
.to the bank to get
cash for the bill.
Alderman Glans told the prisoner he had paced him-
self in a very awkward situation, and therefore he must
still be treated as the utterer of a forged document,
unless he could find the man from whom he received the
bill. However he would take bail, himself in SOL, and
one surety of 40/., to appear and answer the charge.
The bail being forthcoming, the prisoner was libe-
rated.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY•

The Royal Mail steamship Cambria, Captain
Harrison, has arrived, bringing advices from New
York to the 24th ult., Halifax to the 27th ult., and
73,0001. in specie on freight.
The Hibernia, hence, was passed between Halifax
and New York ; she would reach the latter port on
the 27th.

With the exception of the preliminary steps for
the approaching Presidential elaction, the political
news is without interest.

The friends of the existing Administration, calling
themselves " Democrats," held their convention of
delegates for nominating candidates f)t. President and
Vice-President at Baltimore on the 22d. We have
as yet no information of a choice having been made:
The opposing, or Whig party, would not hold their
nominating convention until the first week in this
month, Pniladelphia being the designated place.
General Taylor, General Scott, and :Qr. Clay are
the prominent men before the country for the Whig
nomination of President.

Our Mexican accounts are still indefinite. General
Scott, who had returned from _Mexico, expressed a
very strong conviction that the treaty was already
ratified. It was also stated that an express had
reached Tampico bringing intelligence that a quorum
of Congress had assembled at Queretaro, and were
busily engaged upon the treaty.
The distractions in Yucatan had, at least tempo-
rarily, terminated. A treaty had been concluded
between the whites and Indians, which concedes to
the latter very favourable terms— abolition of capita-
tion taxes, eligibility of Indians to church preferment,
the restoration of arms captured by the whites, the
retention in power of the present chiefs of the Indians
and the present Governor of Yucatan. It was hoped
that these conoessions would secure a permanent
peace, and in anticipation of it the fugitives at La-
guna and other seaports were preparing to return
to their homes. The Indians were, however, still
committing outrages in ,the north and east, and the
permanence of peaceful relations was very doubtful.
Opinion prevails that breadstuffs will this season
sell at lower prices on the American seaboard than
on any previous occasion known. A New York paper
states :

" The Caledonia's news, on the whole, has an enliven-
ing influence upon trade and money matters here, yet
sufficient time has not elapsed to fully develop it. The
cotton market has been strengthened by the present
advices, but prices have undergone no change from the
rates current previous to the steamer's arrival. An
improved cotton market in England will do much to
lessen the apprehensions of our friends at the South,
which, of all parts of the country now, needs some such
encouragement. Flour and grain, it seems conceded on
all hands, must shorly undergo (as already it has begun
to undergo) a material reduction in price. There is no
prospect of an immediate demand for either abroad,
and with the immense quantities coming down the North
River, holders will have to accept lower rates iu order
to effect sales.

" Dry goods dealers make complaint of an unusually
dull market within the ten days past. There is but little
doing in any department of the trade, and prices under
the circumstances are considerably reduced. For the
heavy domestic cottons there is a good demand for ex-
portation to Mexico, South America, China, &c., so that
the cotton manufacturers, with the very low price of the
raw materials, are doing well."

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
TUESDAY, MAY 23.—There were larger sales of flour
to-day, but on terms which showed no further decline
on prices current yesterday. The lots disposed of em-
braced the usual assortment of western brands, includ-
ing Genessee, &c., at rates showing a wide range in
prices, which indicated a feverish sate of the market.
From the quantity sold it is likely some lots were taken
for export. There was very little wheat offering, and
no sales were reported. Corn remained about the same
with moderate sales. Rye, if anything, was a little
firmer. Oats were dull. From Buffalo by telegraph we
learn receipts were fair, while flour was dull. At Al-
bany receipts of flour moderate, and grain not large ;
flour dull, with moderate transactions in grain. At ISoi-
ton the market for fleir was steady, with free sales of
corn at previous rates. Salei of lead and seed ware also
made. In this market prices were rather heavy for mess
pork, while sales of prime were made at previous rates.
There continued to be a good inquiry for lard. Mode•
rate sales of sugar were made without change of mo-
ment in prices.
