Marriage requires the fulfilmeut of several conditions. it order
that it may be really the manor mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and Ito true source is every instance discloeed. In hew many could
it he traced to physical disqualificotiene and their attendant disap-
'ointments. Excesses are always injarious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific souroe of mischief. and of greater or less Injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. en
.he Nature and conseqaence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are preduoUve of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to whisk it is subject.
This work contains at accurate aid complete account of the
Anatomy aid Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and Si
their relative coadltione la health and disease. It deeervedly
requires the Molest atteation and study, for what subject can
be •t more imserttusce than the preservation of the health,
sad of the pkysieal capabilities of which every mu should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the nahappy
♦ictirm Si essoosive ladalgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the lbllles of advanced age, while suffering
front their Invariable eensequoaces, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a smalified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, bat erroneously entertained that these complaiats arc
beyead the resell of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
or aseistanee where alone it eau be procured. In rusting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the ceases of
disease, sympathy with the suferer, and, above all, =secreey, lava-
rially ckaraetorise the tatelligent aid practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show ►y his posse-pion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect is lis 'rotes-
sioaal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LAWKILT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee fbr his professional experience, whieh has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

RAILWAY SIGNALS.—We understand that the
railway signal between the guards and engine-drivers of
passenger trains, for which we mentioned some time since
that Mr. Edmund Tattersall, of Newmarket, had secured
a patent, had two or three weeks since another very fa-
vourable trial on the Eastern Union line. A train is
fitting up with it to run regularly, and we shall shortly
be able to speak of its merits after personal inspection.
The principle of action is, we understand, as follows :
A self-acting winding apparatus in the form of a lamp,
is dropped into a socket on the last or on any carriage
when the train is put together; the line is then drawn
nut and passed through open rings, and the outside edge
of the tops of the carriage:, from which it can be instantly
detached if required; and the end is attached to a
hammer, which upon the line being slightly pushed,
strikes a bell within hearing of the engine-driver, by as
lastly distinct sounds as may be wished by the guards,
within reach of whom at any moment the line passes—
or what is a better signal still—the line is attached to a
wire upon the engine acting upon a lever bar, which
being raised by the same means lets off the alarm whistle.
This is a second whistle of great power, attached to all
the engines on this line, and only to be used in cases of
danger. We hear that the trial with the whistle was so
satisfactory as to impress those gentlemen who witnessed
it with the opinion that it was by far the best means of
communication which has yet been heard of, as by means
of it the guard can from any part of the train, and at
any moment, signal to the driver by letting off the
whistle, and the driver answers the guard immediately
by pressing down the bar and stopping the whistle;
and this can be repeated as often as required.—Norwich
Gazette.

Tile NAVIGATION LAWS.—On Saturday a meet-
jag of the delegates of the shipping interests at the ports
in England was held for the purpose of adopting mea-
sures and making the necessary arrangements for 20,000
sailors, with the masters and mates of all the vessels at
present in the port of London, to proceed in procession
to Buckingham Palace for the purpose of presenting a
memorial to her Majesty, praying that she would be
graciously pleased to give her consent to the repeal of
the navigation-laws. It was agreed that the procession
should take place on Wednesday next, if that day was
approved of by the Queen. At five o'clock, Mr. Meather
and a deputation had an interview with the Lord Mayor,
who, after ascertaining the object in view, expressed
his opinion that so great a body passing through the
City would put a stop to business, and might tend to
much tumult. He could not, therefore sanction the
intended procession, but recommended that if the sailors
should be determined upon going to tho Palace in pro-
cession, they should go as far as Westminster by water.

GRAND FREE-TRADE DEMON-
STRATION AT MANCHESTER.
We give the conclusion of the proceedings at the
great free-trade banquet at Manchester, on Thurs-
day, in continuation from The Sun of Seturday :
Colonel Tnomrsoe then came forward, and was
received with several rounds of applause. He said—
Mr. Chairman, I rejoice to see that you have forsaken
the " assembling of yourselves together ;" because it
is to me an intimation that, although a powerful body
has ceased nominally to act, there is another able and
willing to take its place when need shall be, which
body is none other than the public, whom you are.—
(Applause.) I wish I could impress upon you how
politic it is to put your trust neither in the House of
Lords nor yet of Commons—(Hear, hear)—but to
look to your own assemblage for the expression of
public opinion as the means by which ybu are to ward
off the evils which you fear, and to obtain the good
which you prize. The memory of the Anti-Core
law League will last all of us our lives. There is no
necessity for me to recal the good it has done to you,
nor to the world. The object now is to reap the
greatest amount of harvest from its efforts; and I
may say, too, to prevent the success of those counter
efforts which seem to be set on foot for the purpose
of nullifying your labours, and destroying your suc
cess.—(hear and applause.) I might be a little out
of order, perhaps, if I were to drop the subject of the
League for some minutes, and sink it in another
question, upon which I have also heard my name
mentioned, as possibly being of some small authority
among you. There are those 'who say I ought to
know something on the subject. And here I am
afraid I must begin with stating the difference there
is between my opinions and those of many men
whose alliance I am glad to profit by, whose multi-
plication I see with great delight, and yet with whom
I cannot go to the whole extent of their most bene-
volent wishes and opinions. Ido confess, if I speak
to you upon the subject on which I intend to attempt
to address you, I must put myself forward to you as
a man who has not yet been convinced of the abstract
possibility of doing without war, either now or here•
after. We shall always hare too much of it, Ido fear.
And our wisdom will lead us, I think, rather to take
the means which shall produce the maximum of de-
pression of the evil, rather than to lose ourselves in
theories, which if they may be suitable to a better
and a happier time, I do fear are not completely
adapted to the present moment.—(Hear, hear.) I
wish the time may come when we may do without
surgeons, for instance—lawyers, too, if you think
they may be dispensed with.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Not the smallest objection shall you find from me to
such a process when you can do without them.
Clergymen, toe ; I never hear of any that are to exer-
cise
their office in the better and happier world which
we all look forward to. All these things are evidence
of human infirmity, of human suffering, which it is
our basiness to diminish ; but a man may lawfully
doubt whether to express an abtract desire to abolish
all appearance of them at this present time be the
direct way to produce the effect we aim at.—(Hear.)
I have fairly stated that I do not come before you as
a believer in an abstract possibility of doing without
war; but I do mean as an ancient soldier, which I
am in some degree entitled to call myself, to question
the necessity there may be for this present war,which
it appears is to be forced on your stomachs and
purses.—(Laughter and applause.) The articles of war
AS every old soldier here well knows, are written in,
rather an antiquated style, and have no reference to
military mal-practices, which, in some instances,
puzzle a soldier of the present day. Among others,
I have often heard a discussion on what it could be
which alarmed our fathers under the name of " false
alarm."—(Hear.) There is an article of war against
false alarm.—(Hear.) If we have not known what it
meant hitherto, I think we ought to know it now.—
(Applause.) I do believe a lieutenant commanding a
picquet, would be brought to a very severe reckoning
if he had turned out his force, to their annoyance and
loss of their repose, upon so slender a pretext, as, so
far as I can see, has hitherto been exhibited.—(Hear.)
Who has frightened you ? Who is coming near you.
—(Laughter and applause.) Who is going to eat
you ?—(Renewed laughter) Who has opened their
mouth 4, or shown any intention of permitting such a
process? Why, if a period bad been picked out in
which there was the greatest quiet among the Euro-
pean family, at all event. „id have beer, the
-h; .h have lately gone
Why, truly, the spear and shield did seem in a fair
way of rusting through, being up-high hung, because
nobody saw occasion fur them ; and then there must
stand forward an aged man, who has had his full share
of worldly success and worldly honours, and nothing
can serve him but that, on parting vvitl this world,
he must throw a torch into the fabric of European
harmony, and rouse up all those passions which, we
thought, had long since gone to that place where all
these passions tend, and from which they originally
come.—(Great applause.) " There is meaning in
it," depend upon it. It was not one had invented
that. It was many heads; and heads you know of,
and heads you have been familiar with before. Shall
I tell you what is my notion of the origin of this
huge alarm ? Some seventeen years ago there was a
happy change in France, which brought on here a
happy change, because a most successful one—that
Reform Bill in which we all glory, and which we
hope to live to be able to improve.—(Applause.)
Now, then, the affairs of France point to some danger
of a renewal of that scene. It cannot be long before
there must be a crisis in France ; let us hope that it
will turn out for the benefit of the human family at '
large, as it will do if it promote the happiness of that
gallant aid most meritorious nation.—(Applause.)
Let us hope, that if it do, we here shall be in some
sort the better for it.— (Hear, hear.) I know
i
nothing else that s likely at this moment so strongly
to arouse the sentiments of political reform in our
own country
as such an event would do. This,
then, believe me, is
what they fear. This is what
they want to provide against. When they fortify
Sheerness and loop-hole 'Temple Bar, it is not the
French they want to keep away ; it is the reform
which they think might be brought over from that
side of the Channel.;—(Applause.) Forewarned, then,
is forearmed. Knowing that it is not French
bayonets but French reforms which is feared, you
will direct your attention to welcoming the one and
intriguing to keep away the other. Surely there
never was a period in which so many tokens of true
reconciliation between two hostile countries, were
presented. Have not oar missionaries gone forth
through every part of Europe, and there sowed the
seeds of lastiag and permanent peace ? How different
was their conduct to that of the ill-judged missionary
of war whose conduct we have been deploring !
Nay, in a military sense, was it any better than in a
civil ? What did he do ? He wrote them a " Lon-
don Made Easy." He called,, almost by names, on
,
40 of the boldest soldiers of ranee to head each man
1,000 men, and try the experiment of how easily they
might be landed in England.—(Cheers.) I wonder
what would be said to you or me if we followed such
aline of conduct. Would they have called it levying war
against the Queen or not ? Would it not have been
called doing all within the power of living man to
bring on those evils which it was our professed desire
to avoid ? No, no ; I hope that storm has partly
blown over already. The English people have raised
thel poor pretence ; and have come, by this time
and period everywhere, to a knowledge of its value.
We shall not see our prospects of free trade, and
living in brotherhood throughout the evoild, disturbed
by this rattling of the drum, and getting up of a
new
armament.—(Hear, hear.) They want to see the
glories of the volunteers' time renewed 7 (Laughter.)
Some of us are old enough to rememoer the glories
of that 4lay; hew valiant men marched forth, and
then came home with improved stomachs and eat
their dinner.—(Renewed laughter.) I would recom-
mend fox-hunting instead, or anything more harmless
and less expensive than actual war.—(Hear, hear,
and cheers.) As I said before, the good sense of the
English nation will put down this threatened danger ;
and I hope none will blame me, if in my character of
an ancient soldier, which, from my years, I have a
right to claim, I should dare any and all military men
in this country to prove, or attempt to prove, that
there is any shadow of a prospect authorising the
course which has been taken.—(lmmense cheering.)
But, as I told you before, it is not fear; it is the pros-
pect of preventing your political amendment. Know-
ing that, go on still more boldly, taking strength from
the very evidence they have given of their own weak-
ness.e They fear you here much more thank they fear
the House of Commons.—(Hear.) y now that
a man speaking here has va:tly more chance to be
heard, and to be understood, and to be remembered.
—(Cheers.) Thy know that you are the true field in
which all good seeds may be sown ; and
they, to say
the best of them, are but thc court of register in which
is to be carried on that contest of the powers which
you are to create.— (Applause.) The toast which I
have been directed to propose to you is, The Anti-
Corn-law League—the labours and success of which
have rendered such essential service to our country
and the worli at large." If you think that is the
truth, testify it by the manner in which you shall
receive the toast, and you will give strength here, and
in many a country, to the principles of peace, and
testify your abhorrence of all unjust and foolish
war.—(Cheers.)
