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 vrretcheduells, 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 injarions ; the gift, which when
ased 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 whish this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery U the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatemy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, fox what subject can
be et 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
rrequently, 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
lisease, 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 posse.sion 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.
L.VME HT 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.

SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 20.—The Oriental Com-
pany's steam-ship Hindostan, Captain S. Lewis, left the
docks this day, at three P.M., for Malta and Alexandria,
with the mails for Egypt and India, under charge of
Lieutenant Langton, R.N. The Hindostan has 35 pas-
sengers and a very full cargo. The same Company's
steam-ship Achilles, Captain White, will leave the port
on Monday next, for Ceylon, there to take up her station,
it is said, for five years. The Ocean Steam Navigation
Company's steam-packet Washington, Captain Johnston,
arrived here last evening from Bremen, after a run of
53 hours. She has brought 114 passengers and a large
cargo for New York ; she will sail on June 1 with IEO
passengers. The Royal West India Mail-packet Avon,
Captain Hest, is hourly expected, with the West India
and Gulf mails. The new iron steam-ship Canton, built
at Greenock for the Peninsular and Oriental Company,
will be brought here by Captain Gossen. She is de-
stined to take up her station between Hong Kong and
Canton. Steam-packets at present in the docks—Sul-
tan, Jupiter, Pacha, Montrose, Achilles, Erin, Thames,
and Forth. The Clyde is still in the Thames, under-
going repairs.
[Arvertrisamnrcr.] A DREADFUL ANSCISIIS
UNDER THE CHIN CURED ET HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND PlLLS.—Robert Davidson, shoemaker, of An-
struther, had suffered for more than five years with a
very dreadful abscess under his chin. During this time
he had been under the care of two surgeons in Anstrn-
ther, and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect of
a cure ; in this miserable condition he began to use
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in the short space
of two months soundly healed the wound, and he is now
enjoying the best of health. These fine medicines are
admirable remedies for King's evil, wounds of all kinds,
burns, scalds, piles, fistula, and bearings down. Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.
THE LEICESTER. RlOTEES.—Yesterday (Friday)
morning the six rioters who were apprehended on
Thursday night in Wharf-street, &c., were brought
before the mayor and magistrates in the mayor's par-
lour. Their names were William Bates, George Watts,
William Hallam, Robert Newton, John Linthwaite, and
Benjamin Wood. They were all, with the exception of
Wood, identified as being present and taking part in the
throwing of stones, with which the police we-e assailed
on Thursday night. Newton was also identified as
being present and taking part in the disturbance on
Monday night, and also on Thursday morning, in
Russell-square. These five were convicted, and fined 5/.
each, and in default were committed to hard labour for
one month. A detachment of infantry from the Weedon
Barracks reached Leicester on Friday afternoon. At
the time of our going to press the town was quite
peaceable.—Leicester Mertntry.
Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial-
office, from the Governors of New South Wales and
New Zealand .

NEW YORK, MAY 2.---It is utterly
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
impossible to
give you a correct idea of the feeling that pervades
the American community at this moment. If you
are left to form your opinion on an examination of
the journals of the country, that opinion will be
incorrect, because in no 'one of these journals of
either party has the influence of the political question
been fairly stated.
The revolutions now in progress, apparently
throughout the world, have burst so suddenly upon
us, that no American is prepared to say where or when
they shall be stayed. Each inquires of his friend or
neighbour what may next be anticipated ? None
hazard an intelligent and decisive reply. All is
doubt, mystery, and hesitation. In one view all seem
to unite, that is, reckless of consequences, to sympa-
thise with and applaud the revolutionists and their
doings.
to the public press, and almost without IR this state of the case an imetus has been given
an
exception
it unites with, or rather takes the lead in, this lauda-
tory process. Are all these professions sin-
cere? Are they the honest outpourings of
the heart ? I answer they are not. The
various foreigners who make these solemn de-
clarations in regard to the land of their nativity
may be sincere, but the great mass of the Americana
are not. Their object is to make political capital—to
make use of the naturalized citizen—to obtain his
vote and influence with his countrymen at the ap-
proaching Presidential election—a
mere race between
political partisans.
It is not without regret that I make this remark.
Both parties are reprehensible for their conduct in this
particular. They place the people of their country
in a false position before the world. Thus they
render them obnoxious to the charge of bartering
their national character for the miserable considera-
tion of a few foreign votes. I feel that I must be
brief, but I do not wish to be misunderstood on
this subject. lam unfavourable to a thoughtless
and inconsiderate declaration by the American
people, that they are the friends of every and all
revolutions, and that they approve in advance all
measures that the revolutionists may adopt to
effect their avowed object. But I am the advocate,
the devoted supporter, of reforms in government,
when and where necessary. But let these reforms,
however, be made by the people that are to be
benefited by them ; and not by American Don
Quixotes, armed cap-a-pie, to war with windmills.
The preceding remarks apply to the continent of
Europe with great force, and to that portion of their
people that have sought an asylum in the United
States. A brief statement of facts, when the triumph
of the British Government over the Chartists was
announced in this city, will enable you to judge cor-
rectly as to the American feeling on this subject.
At a quarter past 10 o'clock on Saturday the 30th
of April, the steamer America, from Liverpool, was
telegraphed. About 12 o'clock she reached this city.
During the two hours of suspense no business of im-
portance was transacted. Every countenance or
nearly so, evinced anxiety and gloom. The princi-
pal streets, but especially Wall-street, was filled with
doubting inquirers---.What is the news ? But no re-
sponse conid be given. At length it was announced
—All is quiet in England. Never have I witnessed
such a sudden change of countenance. All became
cheerful and joyous. Execrations loud and long,
against the disturbers of the public peace were uttered.
Thus was indicated spontaneously the true feeling of
the people. Comment is unnecessary.
The British Government have manfully met the
crisis. For them to have faltered would have been
to have surrendered the city of London to pillage
and murder, and to crime more revolting and nefa-
rious. Nor is it possible to pacify, by mild and
lenient means, a band of robbers and assassins. At
a distance from the scene of action we may calmly
view the fast gathering storm. The Government
have the means, and they should be freely used, of
compelling the conspirators to abandon the atti-
tude of defiance. That accomplished, they should
thoughtfully and wisely correct many abuses, which
have slowly crept into their system. But I repeat,
this cannot be done with safety while the ignorant
and the vicious demand it and threaten an appeal to
brute force. To grant it under such circumstances
would be weakness, and would be ascribed to
timidity. Cheered by the support of the patriotic and
the good, go on with moderation but with manly
firmness, until even the traitor shall exclaim—" It
is enough."
Our Mexican affairs are but little changed since
the appointment of peace commissioners. We have
received advices from Vera Cruz of the 16th of April,
and from Mexico of the 13th. Commissioner CU
ford and his secretary reached Mexico on the 11th

Commissioner Sevier had not arrived, but was hourly
expected. Advices from Mexico speak favourably of
the prospect of the treaty being ratified.
The President of the United States has recom-
mended Congress to give aid to Yucatan, and the
raising of a military force sufficiently powerful to
prevent any future murders of the inhabitants. '
Mr. Calhoun, with much warmth and force, op-
posed granting the aid in the form proposed. If
done, he said, it should be upon the " high ground of
humanity." After a brief discussion of the question
of reference, it was moved to refer it to the committee
of the whole. Lost. It was then, on motion, referred
to the committee on Foreign Aftirs.
From the character of the debate, it would appear
that the opposition to granting relief arose mainly
from an apprehension that the ultimate object was the
acquisition of more territory.
Sir William Colebrooke, the late Governor of New
Brunswick, is, with his family, now in Boston await-
ing the departure of the Acadia, which brings you
this letter.

The proceedings in Congress are again interupted
by the death of a most respectable and meritorious
member, Senator Ashley, of Arkansas. The last act
that General Ashley did in the Senate was to announce
Major Borland, a Senator, appointed by the Governor
of Arkansas to fill a vacancy. This day
Major
Borland announces the mournful intelligence that
another vacancy is to be filled.
The money market is easy. The late triumph of
the British Government over the Chartists has in-
creased the confidence of the Americans in its stability
and foresight.

Government and other sound stocks of this country
are on the advance, partly owing to the impression
that large foreign investments will be made in them.
