" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in..
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and fralitlei of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses 'itself; and by its perusal.many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mertality."—Wakefield

COUGHS, HOARSENESS, and all ASTHMATIC and PULMO-
NARY COMPLAINTS, EFFECTUALLY CURED by
KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.
Upwards of thirty years' experience has proved the infalli-
bility of these Lozenges in the Cure of Winter Cough, Hoarseness,
Shortness of Breath, and other Pulmonary Maladies.
The patronage of his Majesty the King of Prussia has been be-
stowed on them ; as also has that of the Nobility and Clergy of the
United Kingdom ; and, above all, the Faculty have especially re-
commended them as a remedy of unfailing efficacy. Testimonials
are continually received confirmatory of the value of these Lozenges,
and proving the perfect safety of their use (for they contain no
Opium nor any preparation of that Drug), so that they may be
given to females of the most delicate constitution and children of the
tenderest years, without hesitation.

mation mentioned therein shall, upon a day to be specified in

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The pressure for money has much increased in the City,
and it falls in a great measure upon those who are least able to bear
up against it—the second class of credits. Bills, as good as any that
could be presented, .which would be taken in ordinary times in pre-
ference to all others, have either been refuscd discount, or have had
unreasonably hard terms imposed upon them. This is a state of
things which cannot long exist without injury, and the first hint of a
remedy is naturally to be looked for from those who most suffer by
It. An extension of the purchases for investment on the account
of the railway deposits, or such promptness of decision by the
Committees of Parliament as would bring out the funds de-
posited into circulation again, either by employment or by re-distribu-
tion from rejected lines, would be hailed as a seasonable relief by the
moneyed interest ; but as these arc now in very limited operation in-
deed, some other modes of getting money out of the Bank must be
thought of. The directors, it is well known, would make advances
to a much greater. oxtent were they: not restrained by their liabi-
lity at the shortest notice to have any amount of the railway deposits

drawn ; and any plan, therefore,' for suspending that liability
would produce almost immediate relief. Many of the managers of
railway companies, rather than make purchases of Stock and
Exchequer-bills in the market under the disadvantages
lately experienced, have advised letting their deposits re-
main untouched, arguing that if by this course they can make no
profit, they will be effectually protected against loss. Now, it has
been suggested that if the Bank, departing, under this very peculiar
state of things, from their usual practice, would allow only a small
rate of interest upon the railway deposits, the employment of them
for a fixed period would be most readily and thankfully placed at
their disposal. There has occurred a kind of precedent for this
in the transactions with the East India Company a few years
back, which had accumulated a large sum from the sales of
their stock and goods, and other property ; and the Bank,
rather than leave this to an irregular and uncertain
action on the Mouey-market, consented to allow interest
upon it. There was much less necessity for it then than there is
at the present moment, and the suggestion is thought altogether so
likely to have a beneficial effect, that hopes are expressed that the
directors will entertain it. The supposed rate which ought under
these circumstances to be allowed, is fixed at two per cent. ; and as
this, with the high current rate of money, will make it a very pro-
fitable banking operation, it will most probably be submitted to the
consideration of the board at their next meeting ; and if no rules of
the Accountant-General's office stand in the way, it is; believed to
have a fair chance of adoption. Certainly no objections 'to it are to
be looked for on the part of the railway companies, who would, on
the contrary, most of them eagerly accede to such a proposal, and
grant a very liberal limit as to time.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
It has ben intimated this morning that the suggestion of a payment
of interest on railway deposits by the Bank, for the immediate pur-
pose of obviating the present great pressure for money, is one that
the directors will not give the slightest countenance to. That the
board should object to pay for the use of the deposits se long as they
haveany prospect of attaining the same end gratis, 'is so natural and
reasonable, that nothing can be said against it; but it is obvious
that if these large stuns continue to be thus locked up, so that they
cannot be used, so much inconvenience and mischief will arise as to
force something of the kind upon them. Those who argue in favour
of this course aro not at a loss for parallel cases, even though that of
the East India Company, adverted to yesterday, is put aside. The
locking up of these funds is just the same thing as though the Govern-
ment had raised a loan to the same extent, and kept it undisturbed ill
the Bank. Something of this sort occurred in the time of the West
India Loan, in principle at least, though not reaching to near the
same amount ; but all capitalists and dealers la money will recollect
what urgent applications were made to Mr. Spring Rice to let it out
again, when au arrangement was made by which the Bank" allowol
Interest to the Government, but took in the scrip at a turn of a quar-
ter per cent., by which, at that time, very large profits were
reaiised, and the Treasury was taxed with improvidence and waste of
the public money for having allowed it; and yet that was defended
on the plea that the circulation must be relieved, or worse conse-
quences ensue, The present state of monetary affairs has no parallel
with anything that ever existed before, since banking and paper cir-
culation commenced ; and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
does not see this, and interpose with some recommendation which
he alone can originate, is a subject of general surprise in the
City. Substantially, and apart from railway speculations, trading
credits were never in a sounder condition, and yet hundreds must
break down and the ruined for want of that accommodation
which no banker will now give, and which has formed for years past
the ruling principle of his business. There can be no greater cruelty
than in the destruction of this useful and valuable class of men be-
cause the great balk of the community have gone mad in railway
speculations, and all the funds they could scrape together are placed
In close keeping, while some point of etiquette is adjusting between
the Accountant-General, the railway managers, the Treasury, and
the Bank of England as to the manner in which they can be made
useful in the ordinary way to the service of trade. All parties seem
to be rigidly bent on not making any move at present, and this in-
difference is regarded by many as the forerunner of a crisis, to meet
which all remedy may be too late. As it is now the fashion for great
authorities to change their opinion under a change of circumstances,

the case is not, perhaps, yet quite hopeless. -
The premium on gold at 'Paris is 12.! j per mills, which at the
English Mint price of 3!. 17s. 10%d. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 25 46 ; and the exchange at l'aris on London
at short being 25 65, it (allows that gold is 0.74 per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4353,,, per mark,
which, at the English Mint price of 3!. 17s. 101. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101 i ; and the exchange at

ilambnrgri on London at short being 13 12, it follows that gold is
0.79 per cent. dearer in London than at Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 108% per cent.,
and the par of exchange between England and :America being 109
23 40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against
England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at
GO days' sight, the interest must be dedueted from the above differ-
ence.

THE LATE TRAGEDY IN CAMBERWELL. The lad
V. Moreau had a coMfortable night's rest, and the wound, which had
been sewn up by Mr. Pratt, surgeon, presented all the appearances of
being likely to heal up very speedily: sanguine hopes are entertained
of the lad's recovery. Mrs. Moreau, as may be expected, is in a
very precarious state. Sbe stated that her husband had frequently

GREAT FIRE.—LIVERPOOL, FEB. 17.—At two o'clock
this afternoon an alarming lire broke out in a corn and cotton ware-
house, in a street called the Back Gorge, in which all the buildings
are large warehouses. It originated in the third store, in which some
porters had been employed before dinner, and as they were prohi-
bited to work except by the light of locked 'anthems, it is supposed
that some of them must have been smoking and left a pipe behind
them. The flames were very rapid, and in a few minutes the fire
ascended through the four upper stories, threatening all the ware-
houses on each side, and opposite. In the rear there was nothing
but warehouses ; these were in no danger. The fire police, with se-
veral powerful engines, under the command of Mr. Dowling and Mr.
Hewitt, were promptly on the spot, but were compelled to direct
their whole efforts to prevent the fire from extending. Fortunately,
the warehouse itself, as well as those on each side, were what are
called fire-proof, that is between each-building arose a wall three feel.
above the roof, and this most effectually protected the adjoining
roofs, and enabled the firemen to play, under their directions, on the
flames. In less than twenty minutes the warehouse was completely
gutted. It was the property of Mr. Harbord, and was filled with
cotton, corn, sugar, and tallow. All the parties are insured, and the
loss will not exceed 20,0001.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
SMITH V. LORD FERRER&
_

This case, at least that portion of it which was yesterday opened
for the defendant by the long and laboured speech of the Attorney.-
General, and subsequently supported by the evidence adduced up to
the rising of the Court, has caused it to take an almost novel and extraor..
dinary turn, and the interest it had at first created appeared this morning
to have increased tenfold. The rush of the crowd at the doors was tremen-
dous, and in a moment after they were thrown open every part of
the Court was filled; but precautions had been taken to prevent
the passages being filled as they were yesterday. The Solicitor-
General, who Is leading counsel for Miss Smith, and who did not ap-
pear In Court either on Monday or yesterday, took his place this
morning at the sitting of the Court.
Devereux Shirley, Esq., was the first witness called—l am the
only brother of Lord Ferrers. I was with my regiment in Scotland
in 1844. I joined it in 1843, about the end of March. I had not
leave of absetee at any time until the year 1845. I never quitted
my regimentlduring that time.,
m I do not know Miss Smith, the plain-
tiff, and I never saw her to y knowledge. Ia the early part of
February, 1844; I did not see Miss Smith, and say to my brother she
was unwell. As I said before, I.have never seen her at all. I have
never been at Brighton at all. lam nottskilfal at sketching, and I
never drew in my life. I would not be able to sketch the naked
shoulders of three Scotch ladies.—(Laughter.) I am not acquainted
with Lord Claude Hamilton. He did not call for me in the year 1844
at my brother's room. I never heard of such a person. The two
letters marked Y, now handed me, I never wrote. I neverjwrote a
letter of any sort to Miss Smith. I did not inset her at Ashby in
1844. I never had any conversation with her about a bonnet, and
never gave her or anybody else a note to put in the bonnet-box.
The COURT —That note has not been put in.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No, my Lord. (To the witness) —I
never gave a note to anybodyat any time to put in a bonnet-box to
Miss Smith. I never sent a " jascyrith" ring from my brother to
Miss Smith, or to anybody else. The ring now shown me I have never
seen before. (Here the Attorney-General read the extract of the
alleged letter of Lord Ferret's to plaintiff, stating that this ring the
defendant took from his hand while in bed, and sent it to plaintiff by
the ethweiltentetsesr?.)

ther's with me. I saw some of his letters on Saturday night in the
possession of Mr. Jessop. He showed me about twenty. My own letters
arc in Oxfordshire. Before Sir. Jessep showed me these letters I had
received several from my bother; there were Mr. Ell and my sister, and
Mr. Wm. Ell present on Saturday night. The object was to examine
my brother's handwriting. I did not look at the dates, but some of
I them were written from abroad. I first joined the regiment at
Paisley, thence we went teFort George, and Glasgow and Edinburgh.
I have left the army since. It was when I was a little boy that I
was at Austray. I know of no relative who resembles me. lam now
twenty years of age. It was about a year ago that I first heard of
this proceeding. My brother told me he had never seen Miss
Smith in his life, and did not know who she was, and had never
heard the name of Smith at Austrey. It was after I returned from
Scotland he told me this. He was a young man of spirit and fun. I
joined in one of his larking parties at Chartley before I joined the
army. I forget what it was, it is such a time since. I have been in
a boat with him at night. We were pulling round the moat.
The COURT —Do you think it worth while to prosecute this at any
length, after what you have heard ?
Witness—l never saw before the letter now shown me. I have
not the least idea of the writer of the envelope now shown me.
Mr. Francis Jessop—l am attorney at Yarmouth. I was concerned
for the late Lord Tamworth and his father. I was attorney for the
guardians of the present Earl. I was never concerned for the present
Earl. I have had a good deal of correspondence with him ; and all
the money remitted to him, while he was at school or abroad, passed
through my hands. I was not his confidential attorney.
By the Conax—He has said he never was his attorney at all.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—We are not asking general questions,
but questions in pursuance of certain expressions used in certain
letters.

Witness (in continuation)—The letters now shown me do not In
the least degree resemble, either in the signature or in the body, the
writing of Earl Ferrers ; he always wrote to me on sheets of note
paper or letter paper. Mr. Hammen came to me, and showed me
some letters, which I said I did not think were Lord Ferrers'
writing ; but I said that in consequence of the position I was
in in regard to Lord Ferrers I would not wish to say much about it.
I do not recollect that any of the letters now shown me were those
brought to me by Mr. Hammen, but one of them referred to a Kr.
Neville. I showed Mr. Hammel' some of Lord Ferrers' letters,
and he said he did not think the writing was the same.
Tar ATroannv.GENEnal.--What difMr. Hammel! say?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected, and the question was not
pressed.

Cross-examined--The bodies of the letters I showed Mr. Hammell
were written by Lord Ferrers ; they certainly were not written by
a lady.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then said he had a few observations to
make to the Court. Owing to his unavoidable absence for the last
two days he had heard nothing of four letters which were produced
yesterday by leis Learned Friend the Attorney-General on behalf of
the defendant, and it was not until this morning, and after his
Lordship had taken his seat on the bench, that he had heard
of them. Those letters had also come with equal surprise
noon the respectable attorney conducting the cause for
the plaintiff, as well as upon the respectable family
of the young lady herself. Therefore, at this most mysterious part
of thiS most mysterious case, end taking into consideration the ex-
traordinary fact that those four \ letters had been identified by the
mother of the lady herself, and that they had come by surprise upon
not only the parties he had mentioned, but likewise upon his Learned
Friends who were assisting him. Linder these circumstances he
would pray his Lordship would be so kind as to allow him to with-
draw from the case.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had only anobservation to make.
He had no objection to his Learned Friend adopting this course ' • but
he would pray that those four letters should be impounded, and that
the handkerchiefs should also be placed in the custody of the officer
of the Court.

The Somerroa-Gzwzam. begged that all the other letters should
be impounded also.
COURT—Certainly.

The plaintiff was then declared non-suited, and thus abruptly,
and most unexpectedly, terminated, after three and a half days' in-
vestigation, the most extraordinary case that ever was brought into
a court of justice.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

The charge against Mr. Edward Bryant Sarep, of forging office
copies of documents, which has been before the Court for the last
six weeks, and of which full particulars have appeased in the columns
of The Swt, on each examination, was finally brought before Mr.
l'orylbrd this morning.
No further evidence was given and the prisoner was fully COM-
milted.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have been again on
a very moderate scale. Although the show of samples of that
article here was small the demand for all description was inactive,
yet previous quotations were mostly supported. Free Foreign
Wheat, the holders of which was very firm, was a slow inquiry, at
last week's prices. In Corn under lock so littls was doing that its
value was almost nominal. Tho Barley trade was extremely dull,
at Monday's decline in value. In Malt very litt:e was doing, yet
prices ruled about stationary. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were a
dull sale, but ROL cheaper.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. BRAHAM.—We regret to
announce the demise of Mrs. Frances Braham, the lady of the emi-
nent singer, which took place suddenly on the night of Sunday last,
at Mr. Brahma's residence, No. 8, Gloucester-road, Victoria-gate,
Bayswater. Mr. Braham had for some days been absent from town
oh a professional tour in the city and neighbourhood of Southamp-
ton, which had proved very successful. On Sunday morning Mrs.
Braham :went to church, and In the afternoon took a walk In Hyde
Park. On ,'2er return home, she complained of a slight faintness and
sinking, far wh.'ch she could not account. Having, however, dined
with her family,
.she seemed restored to perfect health. About
eight o'clock in th# t:vening Mr. Braham returned from his tour in
an exceedingly cheerful and beppy
evening, the family
high spirits, and, after I.:lssing
retired :0 rest about twelve o'clock. Scarcely,
however, had Mr. and Mra. gl. hang. been in bed about half an hour.
