Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. nn order

veil, which covers the origin of domestic d
, in how many could
in every instance disclose
and its true source
It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant
disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
becomes, when
ion fraught with advantage,
used in moderation
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 conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of 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 qt excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
trona their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
:or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ho
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
'eedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
vional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
[AWE RT 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.

while corps were almost eveywhere directed to hold
themselves in readiness to mile at a moment's warning.
In the Bombay presidency )reparations were made to
,enable troops to move without delay, should their ser-
vices be required; but these vere of course owing to the
belief for some time entertained that Moult= would be
attacked before the conclusiona the rains, and that it
would in consequence be necesary to reinforce Sinde.
Khan Singh and Gunge, Rita having been punished for
their misdeeds, it became necessary to remove the Ranee
to some place where she woult be deprived of the power
of doing further mischief. Accordingly, arrangements
were made foe taking her to Benares. Troops were
got in readiness, and dispatchsj with secret orders, the
commander being (as some affrin,
and others as stoutly
deny) charged with a tnessak? to her Highness, inti-
muting that her presence wasurgently required by the
Resident and Durbar at Lahor% No difficulty occurred
in getting her away from Shsikhoopra. She tJok her
departure willingly, and Iva; conveyed from place
to plac, her escort being relieved as she went
along, until she reached Uriballah, where, by the
last accounts, she had just arrived. The Delhi Gazette
tells us that she had three Cr four female attendants
only, and that " no one was alowed to see more of her
person than her hands." Ant " if," as the Telegraph
and Courier of this morning pithily
remarks, "she could
wash these same hands of he.'s of a great many very
improper transactions in which she has been engaged,
she would, no doubt, consider herself a very fortunate
woman."

In the neighbourhood of Labor° there has

strength as he went; and . ,y naL.,
that his adherents mustered at least five thousand. It
being considered advisable to put the Guoro down with-
out delay, troops were dispatched from the capital against
him. His movements, however, were very rapid; he
moved here, there, and everywhere, like a will-o'-the
wisp; his spies always got early intelligence of the ap-
proach of an enemy; and, not to enter into detail, by
the latest accounts, he had just fur the second or third
time outwitted us, and it was not known in what direction
he had fled, whether towards Moultan, or the jungles of
Jummoo. The only trophies left in oar hands were
about forty prisoners, and the only revenge permitted us
was to burn the village which had given Lim temporary
shelter. Let us hope this petty rising may not swell into
a rebellion.

In Moultan the very worst of luck has followed Dee-
wah Moo'raj ever since ho raised the standard of revolt
against us. After the murder of our officer;, anticipating
immediate retribution, he set to work enlisting men as
last as possible. Seikhs, Beloochees, Affghans—all who
would take service under his banners, whether practised
soldiers or not, were readily engaged; but notwithstand-
ing the high rates of pay offered by him, he appears to
have been the reverse of successful in his attempts at levy-
ing an army. His force has never exceeded 9,000 men,
and of these not about 3,000 could be depended on. On
the 22d of April Captain Edwardes, the political agent,
who was at Dhera Futtah Khan arranging revenue
matters, received a letter from Mr. Agnew, penned
shortly before his murder, apprising him of the out-
break, and urging him to move down to his assistance
without delay. Captain Edwardes at this time had
with him but a very small force, consisting of one in-
fantry- regiment and 300 horse, with two guns and twenty
zumbooruks. He determined, however, to obey the sum-
thous, and having with some difficulty effected the passage
of the river, ho moved down upon Lon the lett
bank of the Attock. Here a party of two or three
hundred men, chiefly cavalry, stationed by him for the
purpose of collecting the revenue was attended
by four hundred horse, with ten zumbooruks, part of a
force detached against him by the Dewan. A fight en-
sued, when the Dewan's men sustained a sharp repulse:
twelve were killed, many wounded and taken prisoners,
and the zumbooruks were left in the hands of Captain
Edwardes' party. The evening after the victory, Cap-
tain Edwardes received information, which he believed
to be authentic,. that General Courtland, governor of
Dhera Ismael Khan, was menaced by an army of six or
seven thousand men, with 15 guns, which was preparing
to cross over to the Sunghur country ; and he conse-
quently wrote off a hurried letter to the Nawaub of
Bhawulpore, entreating that chief to move without
delay upon Moultan with his whole disposable
force, and thus create a diversion in his fa-
vour. Whether this army of six thousand had
any existence save in the imagination of Captain
Edwardes' informants, I know not ; but certain it is
that General Courtland himself shortly afterwards
moved in the direction of Sunghur, took that place with
a detachment of Beloochees, and then sent off another
detachment, which, after some fighting, managed to
secure Dhera Ghazee Khan !
We have had one of the most violent and long-con-
tinued storms of wind and rain that has fur ten years
been experienced in Bombay. For forty hours it has
poured in perfect deluges, the wind blowing a furious
gale from south-west. No loss than thirty-six inches of
rain have fallen since the 27th of May; eight inches have
been measured within these thirty-six hours. The ave-
rage fall for June is twenty inches; this season we are
very likely to have forty. As a wet June invariably
gives a favourable rainy season, of course the cultivators
are delighted with the appearance of things. The island
is one series of lakes and islets; passengers are up to the
knees on our turnpikes; buffaloes seen swimming where
a month since they grazed. Singular enough, though it
has rained cats and dogs here for nearly a month, it is
not ten days since the rain began to extend itself into
the interior, At Poona they were suffering from drought
so late as the Bth; at Dapoorea scarcely any had fallen
when we last heard. Trade is, of course, at a stand-still,
but the prospect of a favourable season makes every one
sanguine that it will be resumed with much briskness
and vigour in August. Our share market is very dull;
a good deal of our stock uasaleable altogether, all of it
fearfully down.
The rajas have thrown our mails three days behind—
a good sign of abundance of water in the interior at
least.
CALCUTTA, JUNE 10.--The one event of this dispatch

is the suspension from office of Mr.W.P.Grant, Master
in Equity of the Supreme Court, and one of those prin-
cipally concerned in the ruin of the hapless Union Bank.
An announcement made by the Chief-Justice of his in-
tention to bring forward some case of great importance
on a certain day, was by some supposed to refer to this
same Mr. Grant, and so it has turned out. On the ap-
pointed day (Tuesday last), Sir Lawrence Peel read to a
crowded Court a long and elaborate " judgment" on the,
Master. He (the Chief, Justice) was greatly affected,
and even, it is said, shed tears while reading it; but the
end was a sentence of suspension for misconduct, which
had alienated from the Master the confidence of the
judges. The purport of the address is briefly as fol-
lows:—The judges had for some time, in their private
capacities and through common report, been aware that
Mr. Grant was accused of misconduct as a director of the
Union Bank. He believed, however, that they could not,
with propriety, call him to account until the matter
cacao before them in their judicial character. The
first legal proceedings ensuing on the fall of the bank,
and which came before the court in April last, gave them,
they thought, good and sufficient ground to proceed
upon. It then appeared that Mr. Grant, a high officer
of the Supreme Court, had, as a director, been an active

party to an illegal contravention of the bank's deed of
agreement in the issuing of post bills, and that, as a
leading director, he had been accessory to the sending
forth of deceptive reports, intended to mislead share-
holders and the public. It bad, by subsequent pro-
ceedings, further appeared that Mr. Grant, being then
officer by
I
a director, had become largely indebted to the bank, on
very inadequate security. This confirmation of the re-
ports, which had reached the ears of the judges, led to
a withdrawal of their Lordships' confidence from the

or rather quamdiu se bene se gerit. A long and not very
satisfactory correspondence appears then to have ensued,
and the end of it was Mr. Grant's suspicion. He will
probably appeal to the Privy Council, a step which the
in the place of
Chief Justice anticipates, having, as he stated in his ad.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE ,BOMBAY MARKETS.
FROM THE 20TH MAY TO THE 17TH JUNE INCLUSIVE.
SATURDAY, JUNE h.—Since our report of the 19th
ult., the season for business here has been brought to a
close by the setting in of the south-west monsoon, and
the usual dulness of this period of the year has conse-
quently prevailed in the interval. The rain thatet hastoo
fallen in the meantime has been most abundant, while
from different parts of the interior favourable accounts
in this respect are also received; and thong'. yet
soon to form a decided opinion on the coming harvest,
there is every hope, judging from present appearances.
that it will be an abundant one, and that we shall also

88 bales, 3001 b. each, ditto—No. 30, at 7,5.
Dyed Yarns—ln Turkey red twist we have no sales
to report; the article continues very depressed and diffi-
cult of sale. Of orange yarn we have bad several arri-
vals, and the following sales are reported:-20 bales,
average No. 40, at 121 a., bundles, 7:,11b.. and four bales
at 12ia.; also eight bales damaged, at 12a. per lb.
Cochineal—The arrivals since the 19th ult. have been
very heavy, amounting to 40,0001 b., and prices have ex-
perienced a material decline. The sales reported arc,
1,7001 b., at 31r. per lb. ; 10,0001 b., at 2r. 15a. ; and
4,0001 b., at 2r. I la. The estimated stock is about
50,0001 b., so that prices are likely to rule low for a
considerable time, seeing that further supplies are on
the way.
Metals—Swedish bar iron is in good demand and
scarce, while prices have a tendency upwards. British
bar, on the contrary, although stocks both in first and
second hands are moderate, has declined iu value, 34r.
per candy being the quotation for the best assortment.
Of late the importations have been very trifling, but we
observe there is a quantity on board a vessel arrived to-
day. Nail rod, both round and square, is somewhat
lower in price; but in sheet and hoop iron, as also nails,
there is no change to notice. Copper—A decline has
taken place in all kinds of copper, with the exception of
South American, which maintains its price. Swedish
steel and lead, both pig and sheet, are dull of sale.
Speller is firmer, owing to the great reduction in stocks
caused by further shipments to Calcutta, and our quota-
tions of 9:}r. has been refused for a large parcel. The
following Sales of metals have been reported to us since
our last:-
400 cwt. Brazier's Copper ... at Rs. 60} per cwt.
60 „ Sheathing ditto ... „ 62 ditto.

325 „ ditto ditto „ 52 ditto.
1,000 „ Speller ditto ... „ 9 ditto.
Spirits—Owing to heavy stocks our market for brandy
is dull. The sals during the past month amount to SO
hogsheads, at 2ir. per gallon; 200 cases, at 94r. per case;
and 140 cases at llir. Gin is in good demand.
Beer—Prices have given way considerably since oar ,
last, the present quotation for Allsopp's and Bass' being
75r. per hogshead, at which price some large sales have
been effected. The transactions under our notice are-

of red load, at 17r. per cwt; GO barrels of white lead, at
13r. per cwt.; and 230 barrels of coal tar, at sr. per
barrel. Both red and white load have declined in value
since the above sales were reported.
Sundries—Sales. 75 boxes crown glass, at 13r.;
1,4001 b. of ball thread, average No. 18, at 121 a.; 500

EXPORTS.
Cotton Wool—The last advices from China, added to
the unfavourable accounts received from England re-
specting this staple, had the effect of causing some de-
cline in prices, and a further fall was anticipated ; a
reaction, however, took place, owing principally to the
full in freights, and prices have again advanced even
-awhat beyond our last quotations. The transactions
ig the past month amount to about 10,000 bales, viz.:
bales Broach and Surat at 79r. to 82 per candy.

Sheep's Wool—We have heard of no transaction in
this article, and our quotations are merely nominal.
• Opium—The last advices from China imparted con-
siderable activity to this drug, and a large quantity has
changed hands at 1,115 r. to 1,120 r. per chest for Malwa
of best quality. Prices are firm at our quotations.
FREIGHTS.
OTing to a large accumulation of tonnage, rates have
givel way. The last engagement to Liverpool was at
31. per ton, but as several additional arrivals aro reported
to-day, we do not think this rate will be maintained.
Rates to London we quote at V. 105. to 21. 12s. 6d ; and
tor China we hear of two vessels taken up—one at 84r
per candy, and the other at Br.
EVCIIANGES.
The rate has experienced a slight decline since the
date of our last report, a considerable amount in Rus-
sell's draughts upon 13aring's having changed hands at
Is. 10d. Our banks ask is. 91d. for bills at six months'
sight, but only one transaction at this rate has come
under our notice.

CALCUTTA MARKETS.
CALCUTTA, JUNE B.—The express with London news
to the 24th of April, arrived on the evening of the Ist,
followed by the bulk of the mail, per Haddington, on the
4th lust. The news is, upon the whole, more satisfac-
tory than was anticipated.
We have little change to report in the state of our mar-
kets • here since the arrival of the mail. Business still
continues extremely depressed.
In our export market almost all* our staples remain
without animation excepting saltpetre, and the eager-
ness of purchasers to secure that article has in same de-
gree.subsidod. We can only refer to one sale by private
contract of indigo comprising 150 chests. A better dis-
position to ship sugar is arising, but at a trifling im-
provement on previous rates, which holders are less
inclined to accept. Saltpetre has given way 4a. to 6a.
per maund. There is but little doing in rice. Holders
of safflower are still firm, and previous prices main-
tained. Raw silk has given way about 4a. per seer, and
rates are now at a minimum. Silk piece goods are ne-
glected. Lac dye has fallen about sr. per maund on
European marks, and shellac is without inquiry.
Oar import market remains in the same unsatisfactory
state noticed in our last report. During the past week
the business done in cotton piece goods has been limited,
and the same causes still operate to diminish the de-
mand and depress prices, The credit of dealers con-
nected with the opium time bargains is looked upon
with suspicion, and this has made it difficult for them to
negotiate their draughts, and obtain funds to pay for the
goods they purchase. In addition to this the accounts
from the local marts in the provinces are still of a dis-
couraging nature. Holders, on the other hand, appear
anxious to realiw, though not at present disposed to
yield much further in their demands. Mule twist has
been selling pretty freely, though without improvement
in value, except as regards 40s. and 50s. which appear
somewhat more buoyant. The falling off in the inquiry
for red yarns, noticed in our last report as observable
during the previous few days, has rather increased, and
