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
the 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 eomplete 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
bo 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 n 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 possession 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.
LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

LEICESTER ELECTION.—A new writ having been
ordered for Leicester, for the election of two Members
to serve in Parliament, in the place of Sir Joshua
Walmesley and Richard Gardner, Esq., a meeting of
the Liberal electors was convened the same evening at
the Wellington Rooms, to take steps for introducing two
new candidates. Mr. Joseph Biggs presided at the
meeting, and there were upwards of 100 gentlemen
present. It was unanimously agreed that Richard
Harris, Esq., and John Ellis, Esq., the former at the
head of one of the leading manufacturing firms in the
town, and the latter deputy-chairman of the Midland
Railway Company, should be invited to stand for the
borough. It was also resolved that there should be a
general meeting of the Liberal electors on Monday, and
that the above gentlemen be waited upon previously;
also that the late Members for the borough be invited to
attend the meeting. On the Conservative side no an-
nouncement has yet been made, but it is fully expected
that two candidates will be forthcoming. It is ru-
moured that Lord John Manners and Lord Curzon are

likely to be introduced to the Conservative constituency.

some terrific gales; and on the night of the Ist of
June, when off Monte Video, notwithstanding a strict
look-out, she struck on a reef running out from Bold
Point. It was along time before they gained assistance
from the ships in harbour, though a great part of the
English squadron was lying there. After some hours
two British and one French steamer arrived to her assist-
ance; but their united efforts were insufficient to move
her. They began to lighten her by throwing the guns,
anchors, &c., overboard; but as she was thumping
heavily, they were obliged to leave her, Lieutenant
Haydon and part of the crew going on board the Lizard,
and the remainder to the Harpy. The next day the ship
was on her broadside, and on that and following days
the crew removed everything but the fittings, but little
hopes were entertained of her ever being got off; but on
the 7th she was found unexpectedly to be afloat. A very
strong breeze blowing towards shore had caused an
unusually high tide, and had thus floated her. A survey
had not been held on the 9th of June. No lives were
lost.— United Service Gazette.

DIOCESE OF FREDERICTON.—The Bishop of Fre-
dericton (New Brunswick), who has been for some
months in this country, making arrangements for the
more efficient management of his diocese, left England
on Saturday. During his stay in this country, his Lord-
ship was very active in obtaining contributions for the
cathedral, which is in progress of erection at Fredericton.
New Brunswick is one of the first colonies in which
the foundation-stone of a cathedral has.been actually laid.
The province of New Brunswick was formerly compre-
hended within the diocese of Nova Scotia, but was
erected into an independent see in the year 1845, when
Dr. Medley, rector of St. Thomas's, Exeter, was con-
secrated to be its first bishop. New Brunswick con-
tains an area of 26,000 square miles, which is rather
less than Scotland. The population is about 160,000, and
the number of clergy 45; the majority of whom are
mainly supported from the funds of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.

BURNING of the OCEAN MONARCH.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.—The people of
Liverpool have ever been proverbial for their exertions
in the cause of humanity. On thiamelancholy occasion
they have nobly sustained that character, and we are
gratified to state that ample preparations are making to
afford the necessary succour to the poor unfortunate sur-
viving passengers of the Ocean Monarch. A committee
has already been formed, consisting of the Mayor, Ad-
miral Grenfell/Mr. Edward Rushton, Mr. James Price,
Mr. Thomas Littledale, Mr. J. Aspinall Tobin, Mr. Ro-
bert W. Osgood, Mr. Jacques Myers, Lieutenant Hodder,
and Mr. Chas. Cottesworth; Mr. D. Neilson, treasurer.
Subscription lists have been opened at the various places
of public resort, which we do not doubt will be promptly
filled. Various performances are announced to take
place in aid of this purpose, and we believe that through
the exertions that have been made the sum or 800/. has
been already collected, exclusive of clothes, provisions,
&c. The members of the northern bar have also come
forward on this occasion. In a very short space of time,
though many of the members had departed, they had
subscribed 140/. •
But for the exertions of Mr. Littledale's crew, and
the party on board the Affonso , likewise the prompt and
gallant assistance rende red by Captain Dani and crew
of the City- ss Dublin Company's steamer Prince of
Wales, f, any of the' passengers would have been
saved from t' ' ,urnixig:weck
We now proceed to give the further details that have
come under our notice.
The Ocean Moaarch went down at her anchors at
half-past one o'clock on Friday morning. The weather
was fine and calm. The captain of the steam tng Liver,
who was within thirty yards of the ship when she sank,
says that with the exception of the solid timbers about
the stem, ou which was the figure-head in an almost
perfect state, the fire had consumed the whole of her
upper works to within a few inches of the water'ss edge.
Indeed, so even was the work of destruction round the
sides of the ship that it appeared to have been the work
of carpenters. The water first made its way into the
after part of the ship. As she gradually settled herself
into the bosom of the sea, large volumes of flame rushed
lengthfnrwaid wthe iwthatenr: choilinsing
pletelanybit eurir"al her, and se unthectir emfillainast
of this once noble vessel disappeared in about to urteen
fathoms, causing a heavy swell for the moment.
The Skerryvore team. tug arrived on Saturday morn-
ing from the scene of the late disaster with five bodies
(two women, one man, and two children), and a quan-
tity of spars, sails, &c., belonging to the shim. The
bodies had been previously picked up by boatmen, and
when brought to Liverpool were placed in the h otiose ap-
propriated for the unclaimed dead, at the south end of
the Prince's Dock. There were several bruises and cuts
on the heads and faces of the bodies, and one of the
children had apparently been scorched.
Amongst the many who distinguished themselves in
the cause of humanity were the officers of the ./iffonso
steam-frigate, Commander Alcantara, Lieutenants Tor-
reao, Costa, Lucia d'Aranjo, and Teivo. 'To the
efforts of these officers may be attributed the saving of
many lives.
Two seamen belonging to this frigate also highly dis-
tinguished themselves. Their names are, Frs sicisca
Jose da Silva and Joao Candido. To mark his appre-
ciation of the services of these seamen, one of whom
was much scorched, Prince de Joinville, previous to his
departure, presented them with a handsome donation.
During to-day the Brazilian Consulate has bee n be-
sieged by parties inquiring for their friends and relatives,
and through the exertions of the Consul many have been
made happy.
The mother of the child, a very beautiful one, of
which Mrs. Grenfell (lady of Admiral Grenfell) had
taken charge, was found yesterday at one of the hos-
pitals. The meeting between mother and child was
most affecting.
It has been stated that the stewardess of the Ocean
Monarch lost her life by going courageously down to
the cabin for the purpose of removing some gunpowder,
when she was suffocated by the smoke. It appears that
she went down for the purpose as stated, was forced
back by the fumes which met her, and fell dead on
reaching the deck.
A meeting. of the surviving passengers called by
Messrs. Harnden and Co., is to take place to-morrow,
and there is every reason to hope, from the respectability
of these gentlemen, that every means will be used to
transmit the unfortunates immediately to their desti-
nations.
The seaman, Frederick Jerome, who has ear'aed so
much praise for his exertions in saving some of the pas-
sengers of the Ocean Monarch, is a native of Portsmouth.
He resided, when in America, at 343, Water-street,
New York.
Captain Murdock, of the unfortunate ship, has pub-
lished a letter, iu which he says—" I take this oppor-
tunity, through the medium of your journal, for myself
and in behalf of the crew of the Ocean Monarch, to
render my thanks to Mr. Thomas Littledale, the owner
of the yacht the Queen of the Ocean, and his friends,
Mr. Tobin, Mr. Palk, Mr. Aufrere, Sir Thomas Iles-
keth (the master), and crew, for their indefatigable ex-
ertions in rescuing us from a watery grave, and also for
their humane assistance rendered to us while on board
the yacht. While thus expressing my thanks I cannot
refrain, at the same time, from also expressing my ad-
miration fur the skilful and seamanlike manner in which
the Queen of the Ocean was handled."
Captain Hunter, of the Welch steamer Cambria (not
the American mail steamer), has forwarded the following
letter in justification of his conduct in this affairs.—
" Sir,—Many rumours having been circulated to my
prejudice in consequence of my not having returned to
the assistance of the ship Ocean Monarch on my pas-
sage from Beaumaris to Liverpool, I have to request
your kindness in inserting the following facts bearing on
the case.—
" Before leaving the Menai-bridge I had given all
my disposable coals to the steamer Medina, reserving
only sufficient to take the Cambria to Liverpool, as can
be proved by the engineers of the two vessels. On
Thursday morning I left Beaumaria about half-past nine
o'clock. At half-past eleven we passed the Ocean Mo-
narch, then standing in shore. Soon after this she
tacked and stood to the northward. At half-past twelve
my attention was called to smoke arising from the ship,
as if she was on fire, when I instantly applied to the
engineer to know if he had coals to take us to the ship
and back; when he replied that he had not. At this
time we were at least ten to twelve miles from the ship.
We saw the Affonso much nearer to her and proceeding
towards her, as was also the Prince of Wales, and to
these vessels I hoisted a signal that the ship was in dis-
tress. There was also a ship and a yacht within a short
distance of the ship, making towards her, and the Orion
was abreast of us at the time. Not knowing that she
was an emigrant ship I was led to conclude that there
was sufficient assistance at hand. Besides, it is right
I should state that I had two hundred passengers
on board, and my decks completely crowded with
live stock, which would have rendered it difficult
at any time to render efficient assistance, but on this oc-
casion much more so from the sea that was on. Had I
proceeded to the vessel, I must necessarily have re-
mained at anchor until a supply of coals could have been
procured to enable me to return, and
in this position
should it have come on to blow, there can be little doubt
that the Cambria would have been placed in great dan-
ger. All these circumstances considered, I still feel that
I should not have been justified in running the risk of
sacrificing the lives of those passengers who bad en-
trusted themselves to my care.
"It could be from no disinclination
on my part to
render assistance when practicable., In support of which
I may mention that when the engine of a rival steamer
on the line broke down off Ormshead, in bad weather, I
returned to her assistance and saved her
passengers and
crew; and I should truly rejoice could I have given as-
sistance in this most melancholy case.
" I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, your most obedient
servant, " JOHN HUNTER.
" Liverpool, Aug. 26."
The United States' Consul at this port has addressed
the following letter of thanks to the undermentioned
parties:—

" Liverpool, August 26."
Several bodies have been picked up at Hoylahe. The
following letter was received this morning from that
place:—
" Sir,—We have had brought in here from the unfor-
tunate ship tho Ocean Monarch, 13 bodies, picked up in
the Welsh Deep by our fishing-boats, viz, there are two
children, from one to two years old; a man about 60; a
lad, 13, lame in the left ankle; a girl about six or seven,
had on a black velvet frock and trousers, the lower part
tartan plaid; and eight grown up women, say from 20 to
60 years; two of the eight last mentioned were named
Julia Dunning and Mary Jones. I have placed the
bodies at the Punchbowl, Shaw's old house • they have
been washed, and I have laid sails to put them on, and
covered them over with my old colours.
" I shall thank you to inform Messrs. Hamden, agents,
of the circumstance, in order that the unfortunate suffer-
ers may be owned. I further beg to say the coroner will
sit over the bodies on Monday.
" I am, dear Sir, yours respectfully,
B. SHERWOOD.
" N.B. We have a gig-boat and three pieces of spars
brought in here under my charge from the above; have
the goodness to let Messrs. Chapman and Bowman know
the particulars. Should anything turn up I will let you
know.
" I have 22L 6s. belonging to one of the women,
found on her body while we were stripping the outside
apparel off.
" Evening, three o'clock."
The following statement is from Captain G. Dane, of
the City of Dublin Company's steamer Prince of Wales,
who, seeing the distressed situation of the Ocean Mo-
narch while on his passage from this port of Beaumaris,
