Marriage reqnfres the fulfilment of several conditiotut. 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 is every instance disclo7ed, in how malty' could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses ere always njariou.s ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advartaLe, becomes. when
abused. the prolific source or 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 pro:esses to dilate,
are productive of greater severity a; misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.

The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to -find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, wbo perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The Queen and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, honoured the per-
formances at her Majesty's- Theatre yesterday (Thurs-
day) evening with their presence. In attendance upon
her Majesty and his Royal Highness were the Vis-
countess Jocelyn, Lady Augusta Bruce, the Hon. Miss
Kerr, the Earl of Listowel, Colonel Buckley, and Colonel
Bouverie. Her Majesty the Queen Adelaide, accom-
panied by her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess Bei s-
hard of Saxe Weimar, also honoured the theatre with
her presence. In attendance upon her Majesty the
Queen Adelaide were Earl Howe and Captain Somerset.
We also observed his Excellency the Russian Minister,
Baroness Brunnow, and Madlle. Olga de Lechner, his
Excellency the Hanoverian Minister, his Excellency the
Sardinian Minister, his Excellency the Swedish Minister,
the Earl and Countess of Enniskillen, the Viscount
Clifden, the Viscount and Viscountess Enfield, &c.

his stool until nine o'clock, when it was becoming
dark, be began his work by taking off his
number plate. Aiter this, he unscrewed the
screws that fastened the ventilation plate, which is a
large square piece of iron, This, he said, was a work of
considerable difficulty. This being done, he took out
two panes of glass, end then wrapped his floor cloth
around a portion of the iron window frame. While the
clock was striking eleven he tried to break the iron
frame with the ventilation plate, but did not succeed.
He wait:d until the clock was striking twelve, and again
tiled to break the frame. This time he was successful so
far that he broke two of the iron bars whilst the clock
was striking. He next tore up his hammc At, and made
a rope with the shreds, by which he let himself down
from his cell (which was on the third story) into the
yard. He walked about in the yard a little while, and
at length found a ladder which would reach half-way up
the outer wall. This ladder he plated against the court-
house, which is near the prison wall. By means of this
ladder he got on the window-sill on the second story,
where he was in a dangerous position, having to stand
erect and pull the ladder up in front of him. When he
had got the ladder up, he placed one end of it on the
window-sill and the other against the prison wall, and
by this means got on the tap of the wall. Seeing on the
outer side a cistern which projected through the wall,
he lowered the ladder which just rea3hed it, and de-
scended upon the cistern. He again lowered the ladder,
which he found to be exactly the same length as the
height of the cistern from the wound By this means
he arrived safely on the ground outside the niison. He
next went to Liverpool, and got on the Warrington-road,
intending to go to that town. In passing through Pres-
cot, thinking he should be detected if he did not change
his clothes, he entered a house by the back window. Be
was prevented from effecting his object by a dog, which
put him to flight, leaving his prison cap in the house.
At Rainhill he saw a pair of trousers hanging over a
gate, and exchanged them for his own. He m ivcd in
Salford the following day at noon, and, after changing
his clothes, he went to a lodging-house in Blakely-street,
Manchester, where he stopped two nights, sleeping with
his clothes on. Since then he has been at Leeds, Hud-
dersfield, and various parts of Yorkshire, returning from
Huddersfield on Friday night last, and he was captured
the following day.—Manchester Guardian.

ADDRESS TO THE FREEMASONS.
(Delivered at their Festival, June 21st, 1848, in aid of the
Funds of their Asylum, for the Poor and Aged Masons.)
(From the IV eehly Dispatch.)
A Rich Man lived 'mid all that life could know
Of Peace and Plenty in our lot below;
His wealth was ready, and his hand was kind,
Where friends might sue, or rigid Duty bind;
He gave to kindred, and bestowed his aid
Where Right could sanction the demand it made;
But there he paused—his bosom never felt
Compassion's imputsc kind/o, rise, and molt:
With Stoic ease he turned from every cause
That had no claim except through Mercy's laws;
And, coldly good, he measured out his span—
An honest, moral, true, and prudent man.
The Rich Man died, and cleansed from earthly leaven,
Upwards he sprung, on pinions stretched for heaven;
Onward he soared, and well nigh reached the gate
Where Angel-sentries ever watch and wait;
But there he fluttered, just below the place
Where Bliss and Glory pour their crowning grace;
Striving with Hope to gain the eternal height,
And weakly drooping as he sought the flight.
" 'Tis vain," the Angel-keeper cried, " 'tis vain,
Thou must return and dwell on earth again.
One feather more thy ample wings must wear,
Ere they will lift thee through this ambient air;
Good as thou art, go back to human dust;
Man, to be Godlike, must be more than just."

The humbled Spirit took its downward way,
And here resumed its working garb of clay ;
For three score years and ten it stemmed Life's tide,
And breathed and thought—the trying and the tried-
Still was he honest—still he loved the best
The ones who claimed the kindness in his breast.
Still was he trusted as the type of truth—
The moral oracle of age and youth—
His love began with mother, wife, child, friend;
But there he found Affection must not end.
His gentle sympathy now turned to heed
The stranger's sorrow and the stranger's need.
With right good will he ever sought to dry
The tear that dimmed the lonely orphan's eye;
He gave his Pity and bestowed his gold
Where Want abided with the Poor and Old;
He burst the bonds of Duty's narrow thrall,
His soul grew wider, and he felt for all.

The Rich Man died—again his spirit flew
On through the broad Elysian fields of blue;
Higher, still higher, till he saw once more
The crystal arch he failed to reach before;
And trembling there, he feared to task his might,
To travel further in the realms of light.

" Fear not," the Angel-warder cried, " I see
The plume that now will waft thee on to me ;
Thy wings have now the feather that alone
Lilts the created to the Father's throne.
"Tis Mercy, bounteous Mercy, warm and wide,
That brings the mortal to the Maker's side ;
'Tis dove-eyed Mercy deifies the dust,
Man, to be Godlike, must be more than just.
Up to thy place." The Spirit soon obeyed
The Angel's words. A tone of music played
In melting murmurs round the fields of blue,
And Cherubs came to lead the Spirit through ;
The crystal portal opened at the strain—
The Spirit passed—the Angel watched again--
Still crying to the short-winged sons of dust,
" Man, to be Godlike, must be more than just."
Ye willing workers in a sacred band,
Among the noblest in our noble land--
Ye gladly build in Charity's blest name
The Christian altars raised to England's fame ;
Altars that serve to break the storms that rage
In fearful gloom round Poverty and Age ;
Ye help the helpless with a cheerful zeal,
Ye feel for Want as Man should ever feel,
Ye shed the essence of your GOD around,
For GOD is seen where Charity is found.
Fear not to die, for freely do ye spare
Some of the " talents" trusted to your care:
Well may ye hope to gain the highest flight
Toward the portal of celestial light;
For if that portal Mercy's plume can win,
YE bear the pinions that shall let you in.
ELIZA COOK.

EAST INDIA COLLEGE, HAILETBURY.—Yesterday
(Thursday) being the day appointed for closing the first term of 1848, a deputation from the Court of
Directors
of the East India Company visited the College at Hailey-
bury, near Hertford, for the purpose of receiving the
report of the Principal (the Rev. Henry Melville, 8.D.)
upon the literature and discipline of the term, and of
distributing the medals and prizes awarded to the suc-
cessful competitors in the various branches of Oriental,
classical, and European literature.
EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—WithiII the last
few days a single branch line has been opened, which
connects the East India Docks with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway, and branches off just beyond the Barking-
road station of the North Woolwich Branch, and crossing
the river Lee by a novel iron swing bridge, enters the
dock by the extensive pepper warehouses which the
company have purchased. By this line, via Peterbo-
rough, goods may be removed, without break of car-
riage, from this important depot of East India produce,
to the Mersey, Humber, Tyne, or any point in the manu-
facturing and northern districts.
A deputation, consisting of Mr. Cator, Mr. M`Fie, Mr.
M'Ewan, and Mr. Bramley Moore, had an interview with
the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Wednesday.
INCENDIARISM.—Yesterday a reward of 1001. was
offered for the discovery of the man who was seen to
leave Mr. Barford's warehouse, 95, Wood•street, Cheap-
side, on Sunday morning, the 18th inst., just as the pre-
mises burst out into a blaze.

" Now, when we turn to the same race in the
Southern States of this Union, what, a contrast do we
behold! During the last forty years the negro race of
the south have increased from one to three millions at
least. Their comforts, morals, conveniences, and enjoy-
ments are far superior to those of the same race in the
West Indies, either as slaves, freemen, or holding political
power, as in Hayti. What is the reason of all this diffe-
rence? Can we account for it in any other way than
that the negroes of the south are under the control, in-
fluence, and example of a superior race that of the
Angles Saxon ? And do not these broad facts show that
the Africans, as a race, are incapable of producing, by
the same political and personal rights, the like degree of
general happiness, such as the white race exhibit and
enjoy ?"
We cannot spare time or space to dwell upon the es.-
parte character of the above statement, but give it in
part proof that the English nation must use every exer-
tion to raise the position of its emancipated subjects.
