BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-
The principles of the H road, London.
ing propositions :
ygeian theory arc contained in the follow-
1. The vital principle is contained in the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood.
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise from the imparity of the blood, or, in other
words, from acTimonious humours lodged in the body.
5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources
—the maternine, the contagious, and the personal.
6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be
considered synonymous terms.
7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual
mode of eradicating disease.
8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO-
RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES to be such
proper vegetable purgative.

- 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and
body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the
other.

ill One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculateii hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical 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 dernaed that health should form an item
In the compact ; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er

IRELAND.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

THE QUEEN V. MITCHEL.
forllaUrßgLulmN,enDtl,oNmn,assv,caMllAevd 80.—This fixed for
Lordships.
The Attorney-General and Messrs. Whiteside, Q.C.,
Henn, Q.C., Baldwin, Q.C., and Perrin, appeared for
the Crown; Sir Colman O'Loghlen, and Messrs. Ilolmes
and O'Hagen for the traverser.
Mr. Mitchell was seated at the sido bar.
The case upon the information for publishing the
letter to Lord Clarendon, as "her Majest3's butcher-
general for Ireland," was first proceeded with.
Mr. PERRIN, for the Crown, in support of the de-
murrer, shortly stated the nature of the motion. Ile
said the Attorney-General had filed an ex officio in-
formation against the traverser, who put in a plea to the
effect, that the court could not take cognisance of that
information, because within the same time an indictment
had been found against him by the grand jury upon
the same charge—upon which indictment he had been
duly arraigned—to which he had pleaded—and which,
after such plea by the traverser, had been abandoned by
the Crown. Among other causes of demurrer, it was
specially demurred, that the plea was bad, on the ground
of uncertainty, as it,did not appear whether it was a plea
in bar or in abatement. Ile argued that the plea was
bad, even if the indictment was pending, and that if it
were not bad, all objection was removed by the none
prosequi.
Sir C. O'LoonLEN, for the traverser, submitted that
,:soinntethnedesdectolidt
upon the record as it stood, there was, in point of fact, tt
discontinuance, and that, therefore, the Crown was out
of court and must commence proceedings de novo.
Mr. HOLMES followed on the same side.
in point of form the demurrer was correct, and was in

, and submitted that
secution, and Mr. Perrin and Sir C. O'Loghlen having
been heard,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied
according to practice, the Court was bound to give
judgment for the Crown. He argued at great length
against the cases cited in support ot the alleged disconti-
nuance, and contended that the entering of the
no
prosequi before the filing of the ex officio information was sufficient to warrant the course taken by the Crown.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—The Court will give judgment on
Wednesday.

We have great pleasure in being able to state on
authority, that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury
will consecrate the chapel of St. Augustine's College,
in.‘4, training place cat our c, missionaries, on
Saint Peter's Day (June 29). 1. deserves to be re-
marked, that this institution is founded on the very site
of that abbey from which the first missionaries went
forth to Christianize the heathen inhabitants of our na-
tive land.

SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.
The public opening of the line from Totnes to Lairs,
21i miles, took place on Friday. Mr. Gill, the chair-
man, and several of the Plymouth directors, with about
200 of their friends, left that place in a
private train at
eight o'clock in the morning, and in 41 minutes reached
Totnes, where they waited the arrival of the directors
residing in London, Bristol, and Exeter. The weather
was extremely auspicious throughout the day. After
breakfast at the Seven Stars and Seymour's Hotels, the
company assembled at the Totnes station. Among those
present were—Sir Thomas Fellowes. Sir Anthony Buller,
Colonel Harris; Mr. T. Woolcembe, Mr. Brown, Mr. R.
Cole, Mr. Derry, Mr. C. C. Whiteford, Mr. W. Carr,
the Mayors of Plymouth, Devonport, and Totnes ;
Messrs. Rundle and Gribble, of Tavistock; Archdeacon
Froude; the Rev. John Hatchard, of Plymouth ; Mr.
Gibbs and Mr. Fripp, of Bristol; Mr. Sillifant, the High
Sheriff of the county ; Mr. Brunel, Mr. Samuda, Mr.
Hemmett, &c., and a great number of ladies. To ac-
commodate those assembled about nine carriages were
provided, and these being attached to the Cancer engine,
under charge of Mr. Rea'', of the South Devon Railway,
and the Pisces, worked by
.Mr. Gouch, of the Great
Western Railway, left the Totnes station at 10.38 A.M.
From the high land of Dartmoor, in the centre of South
Devon, to the sea-side, the country is traversed with
ridges of hills, which gradually diminish as they ap-
proach the water's edge. Between these hills are several
deep vales which originate the rivers Erme, Teign,
Dart, Plym, &c. To cut through the
high land and
cross these vales with a railroad is a formidable work
for any engineer; all present in the train on Friday ap-
peared to be perfectly satisfied with the great talent and
ingenuity displayed by Mr. Brunel in overcoming the
natural difficulties of the undertaking. Shortly alter
leaving Totnes, the road enters the Marley tunnel, about
800 yards in length, cut through the grounds of Lady
Carew. It then trends towards the north, and at Brent
is within half a mile of Dartmoor. Between Brent and
Glaso is the station of wrangerton, selected for the
convenient approach of the projected branch from Kings-
bridge. By curved viaducts more than 100 feet high,
and formed of heavy balks of timber laid across
massive moorstone piers, the road crosses the valleys of
Giese, Ivybridge, Blatchford, and Slade. From these
portions of the line, looking down the vales
towards the sea, the country presents a most de-
lightful appearance, and a" sense of the supposed danger
on the viaducts is lost in admiration of the picturesque
scenery. After passing Ivybridge the village of Cole-
brook and Underwood are approached, and thence the
road falls into the lower roads of Saltram, the seat of
the Earl of Morley. Crossing the upper stream of the
Laira, the line approaches the western coast, and then,
skirting the land under Crabtree, it winds through the
waters of the Laira, and passes under the embankment
which protects the turnpike-road from the encroachments
of the sea; it then debouches into the new station con-
structed in front of the Laira cottages. Here the train
arrived at 23 minutes past eleven A.M., having run from
Totnes in forty-five minutes. The train was greeted on
its nearing Crabtree and Laira by thousands of the in-
habitants of Plymouth, Devanport, and the vicinity, a
large majority of whom had never before seen a railway
train in motion. This concourse of persons were not
only pleased with the novelty, but highly gratified at the
prospect of the benefits to be derived from having at
length obtained the advantage of direct railroad com-
munication with the metropolis and the manufacturing
districts.

OMNIBUS STATISTICS OF OXFORD-STREET.—During
a discussion on Saturday in the Marylebone Vestry,
respecting the cost of keeping Oxford-street in repair,
Mr. Jacob Bell stated he had made inquiries at the
Public Carriage Tax-office, and found that the omni-
buses passing through Oxford-street had increased 12i
per cent. in ten years. They averaged one hundred per
hour.
INCOME-TAX RETURNS SOLD AS WASTE PAPER.—
A weekly contemporary states, that a few days since,
W. Callcutt, a butcher, residing at King's-cross, pur-
chased a quantity of waste paper, and upon making an
examination of it, he discovered that nearly the whole
of the income-tax papers which had been returned by
the inhabitants of St. Mary's, Islington, and St. Luke
were among the purchase. As soon as Mr. Callcutt
discovered this disgraceful violation of duty on the part
of those whose care should be to keep inviolably secret
the private affairs of tax-payers to the income-tax, he
put aside the documents, which he still retains in his
possession. It has been suggested that a committee
should be forthwith formed to represent the matter to
the Government, and demand a searching inquiry into
the whole of the circumstances, with a view of punishing
the guilty parties who have so betrayed a public trust
and infringed the statute. It should also be stated, that
in addition to the filled-in notice papers arc the Cona-
missioners' assessments and notes of appeal.
SALE OF THE LATE SIR ROBERT GORDON'S PIC-
TURES.—The sale of the Italian pictures collected by the
late Sir Robert Gordon, G.C.8., late ambassador at the
court of Vienna, took place on Saturday, by Messrs.
Christie and Manson. With one or two exceptions, the
pictures were copies. - The exceptions were a little
picture, by Moretto, formerly in the Lampeira Palace,
of the " Marriage of St. Catherine," which sold for
95 guineas ; and the "Portrait of Cardinal Lorenzo
that ilaffaei

Rossi collection at Bologna, represents the cardinal in a
black and white dress in a sitting position, holding a
letter in his hand. It is stated by Passavant to be an
