M One half the wend are desolately single, and the Other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and iniscalculatea hopes em-
.ittar the latter.. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect *mend more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
AEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
tacit (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
ahem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
tor the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empytical trash put forth on
the above subject', by unqualified authors, which alone or
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle 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
Amphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribbling& 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 he
would be done unto—to live alter nature's laws—and to keep always
in the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
iherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet•street ; Mann,
19, Cornhill; Nielson, 417, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
ems) from • the author (who may be conferred with personally,

THURSDAY. JULY 6.
NATIONAL REPRESENTATION.
Order read for resuming adjourned Debate on Question
(June 20), "That this House, as at present constituted,
does not fairly represent the populatioh, the property, or the
industry of the Country, whence has arisen great and in-
creasing discontent in the minds Of a large portion of the
people; and it is therefore expedient; with a view to amend
the rational 'Representation, that the Elective Franchise
shall be so extended as to include all Householders; that
votes shall be taken by Ballot; that the duration of raffle-
ments shall not exceed three years;_ and that the apportion-
ment of Members to Population shall be made more equal :"

tion put. The House divided :

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NICWS•
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm. Prices were well supported. Sales 6,000 bales.
American realised 310. to 51d. per lb. Railway Shares
were brisker, and a considerable business was done.
The mercantile accounts in the Continental papers
exhibit in a few instances some improvement, but the
highest rate of exchange on London, 'l3-1, had not
been maintained at llamburght a decline having oc-
curred to 13-6!. It had been announced that a sus-
pension of hostilities had been agreed upon . between
Denmark and Germany, to last three months, which, if
correct, would amount almost to a termination of the war.
The feeling that exists must be very pacific to allow of
such an arrangement, and .the opinion in the City seems
to be that peace will soon be concluded. An impulse
would thereby be given to the Baltic trade, but , British
shipping benefits just now by the seizure of foreign
craft, though our manufacturers suffer.
There is a dull market for Grain to-day;the supply of
foreign being larger.
We stated lately that Messrs. Robinow, Sons, and Co.,
Hamburgh, had unexpectedly been forced to suspend
payment, which we are glad to understand will only be
temporary; and it gives us much pleasure to state that
their Scotch houses are not affected by this circumstance,
and that their firms in Glasgow and Leith continue busi-
ness without interruption.
Yesterday afternoon the creditors of Mr. G. T. Braine
met to receive a statement of his affairs, which upon the,
whole proved very satisfactory to the influential parties
who are creditors. Allowing for centiegen.
cies, and for the serious losses by failures
at Calcutta, there is an expectation that Mr.
Braine will have a handsome surplus. After
recent experience, and especially the sad disappointment
in reference to all the great houses which stopped last
year, the less we say upon this point, perhaps, the better;
but it is to be specially noted, that although the liabili-
ties are put down at 226,4121., exclusive of 110,9261. of
acceptances stated to be secured, and the assets at
411,3494, inclusive of every sum due to Mr. Braine, the
Bank of England declined to render the assistance needed
to carry the House through its difficulties, and this too,
even with the offer of guarantees. The inference we
draw is this. Either the Bank is not sanguine of the
realization of 20s. in the pound, or it declines upon
principle • probably from the determination not to en-
courage leviathan houses to look up to it for wholesale
support, the advances made to some firms, as well as to
a great company, not having resulted favourably.
There has been a fuller supply of Money Stock to-
day, and prices are receding a little. The temporary
reaction was to be expected after such an important
rise, Consols being 884 to *with the dividend. They have
fluctuated this morning, ex-dividend from 871 to 861,
both for present transfer and account. The favourable
news from Denmark would have caused an improve-
ment, but that the speculators have already
