CELIBACY.—Singleness is not always the con-
sequence of disinclihation, disappointed affection, or a diffi-
culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did
they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered
page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that
►lighting consciousness, 'man has permitted the most ardent affec-
tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to
that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which
his affianced would he plunged if he married. Some are, however,
wilful enough' to gain the affections of the other sex under these
circumstances; and, though not so villanous' as to proceed to the
altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his
selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her
from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this
history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common
foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren-
der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The
disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary source ;
the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely,
Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the
Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera-
ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary arid acquired
disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects
bf dise.ase—whiel, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all lm
pulse towards.vredlock. In each of these instances It is unhappily
too common for. the.sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and
he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find
alLobstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous
Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of
which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO.,

variably been a restoration of the reader to his position as a useful

with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this gelden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change' at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent In the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unal:oyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the

Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Ike.
This treatise is the result of a long course or study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-

REVIEW OF TEE WORK.
• La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in.the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Couscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing ena idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiou4ness and
propriety.'" A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un-
taught innocence the book 'is not, of course, needed; but wherever
laxity hasprevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blen,le,d with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

FATAL ACCIDENT.—BIRMINGHAM, TITESDAT.—A
poor woman, named Anderton, met with her death yes-
terday, about twelve o'clock, on the London and North-
Western Railway, at Stithford, a few miles south of this
town. It appears that she and her son were about to
proceed by the up-train to London, and for that purpose
she took her place at the station in.question. The noise
of a.train approaching caused,her to run out of the sta-
. tion-house, and cross the line, supposing it to be the
train by which she was about to proceed to town. Un •
happily it proved to be the express down-train, by which,
on attempting to cross the line, she was knocked down
and killed on the spot. The train was immediately
stopped, and the body of the deceased carried by the
engine-driver, and Chapman the guard, into the house.

AN HONEST CODFISH.--7A g g
Rothesay, was recently lying in Locbbroom, the skipper
of which, when fishing over the side, lost the keys of his
lockers, &c., from his pocket, into ten:fathoms of water.
Attached to the bunch was a small piece of parchment, on
which his name, and that of the vessel were written.
He, of course, gave up all hopes of ever seeing the keys
again, and gazed on their rapid descent into the watery
depository with deep regret. Six weeks afterwards the
skipper cast anchor off the island of Rassay, about 100
miles from Lochbroom, and again resumed his piscatory
employment. Among the results of his labours was a
large codfish, which was speedily unhooked and thrown
upon the deck; • and, to the utter amazement of the
skipper, the poor cod, when in the last agonies of
death, vomited up his bunch of key& The parchment
being partly preserved, proved his property beyond a
doubt. At the same time, as if conscience-stricken, it
disgorged a.penknife belonging to a brother skipper, on
which his initials were engraved. It is a remarkable
circumstance that this fish, in its migratory course,
should arrive at the same spot where the sloop was, sa-
crificing its life, and with its last breath discharging an
act of •honesty that would have honoured a higher grade
'..or species of animals.— Grenock.Advertiser. ,

COURT OF ALDERMEN.
Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business.

THE SOLITARY SYSTEM.

Alderman SIDNEY, when the Sheriffs made their usna
roturn relating to the prisoners of the city, took the
opportunity to ask a question on a subject of consi-
derable public interest. He had seen in the newspapers
under the head of Meeting of Middlesex Magistrates,"
a speech attributed to Sir Peter Lauiie, which he could
not persuade himself was by any means an accurate
report of that magistrate's observations. It appeared to
him to be a matter of the more importance that the
actual truth should be elicited as the Court was about to
expend 100,0001. in the erection of a new prison, and he
should indeed be sorry to see the solitary system intrO-
duced into that prison, if the statements attributed to
Sir P. Laurie were founded on facts; but he found that in
the published report of the-state of Bethlehem Hospital
there was nothing at all to give countenance to the re-
presentation which he would read as part of Sir
Peter Laurie's speech :—" If they wanted a proof of the
_ _

ill effects of thilt baneful system; let him tell them

that, since the year 1843, not frwer -than- 49 convict
lunatics had been sent to Bethlehem ' Hospital every
one of whom had fallen a victim to the inhuman system
of solitary confinement. Of those poor unhappy victims
19 had been sent from the Milbank prison, 10 from the
Model prison at Pentonville„ and not fewer than 20 bad
come from the hulks. All-criminal lunatics were sent to

the hospital with which it was well known he had been
for many years associated. Whilst, however, they had
received 49 from these Government -prisons, where the
solitary system was practised, how many did the Court
suppose had been sent from all the other prisons in Eng-
land? Not more than 6." Now, -to that statement the
report gave a decided negative, so that he could not sup-
pose that what he had just read was by any means an
accurate version of Sir P. Laurie's speech. He was de-
sirous to know also whether Sir P. Laurie- would have
any objection to lay before the Court an account of the
names of the, persons confined as Government prisoners,
of the prisons from which they were transferred to
Bethlehem, and other particulars which might be neces-
sary to lead to an authentic conclusion on a point of so
serious a nature?—(Hear, hear.). _ _

Sir P. LAURIE said he certainly had spoken every
word of the speech attributed to him, and every word in
that speech was true. If he had supposed that Alder-
man Sidney would have required to see the document
establishing the facts, he would' have brought it down to
the Court for his satisfaction; and if the worthy Alder-
man would visit Bethlehem Hospital with him air doubt
would be at once removed upon the subject.—(Hear,
hear.) He could not, however, for a moment consent to
make a return of the names, &c., of the persons sent by
the Government to the hospital without the authority of
the Government itself.---(Hear, hear.) The worthy
Alderman might. have moved for such return in the
House of Commons; but he could not help observing
that Hon. Members who made a great noise in all other
places were as mute as mice the moment they took their
places in Parliament.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear.")
Alderman SlDNEY—Parliament was not sitting when
you made the statement. _ _ _

Sir P. LAURIE said he had long before made similar
statements. He had seen with his own eyes the manner
in which the solitary system had been carried out at
the Penitentiary at Millbank. Its effects were inde-
scribably horrible; and he had lately been informed, by
a witness of unquestionable credibility, that Sir. J.
Mackintosh and Sir J. Anstritther had, after an expe-
riment of its operation at Bombay, been obliged to
withdraw it.—(Hear, hear.) Such was found to be the
effect of the atrocious system, that no prisoners were
now sent to the Pentonville Penitentiary who were not
in vigorous health and strength, and he was glad to
have the opportunity of expressing again his abhorrence
of a plan which was calculated to add madness to the
other penalties of crime.—(Hear.)
Alderman HUMPHERY said he thought it would have
been advisable in Alderman Sidney to. visit Bethlehem
Hospital, and to have inquired of the Officers there
whether the statements made by Sir Peter Laurie were
incorrect before he came down to the Court to give them
contradiction. If such inquiry had been made it would
probably have been found that there was but too much
ground for the representation.—(Hear, hear.)
• Alderman SIDNEY said he had visited Bethlehem
Hospital for the purpose of obtaining the information
which be had applied to the Court to procure, but he
had encountered there the difficulty which he had just
met with from the president. His opinion was by no
means altered on the subject; on the contrary, the ob-
jection which had been made tended to confirm instead
of removing it. He considered that the statements
which had been made could not be borne out by evi-
dence, and if Parliament were sitting, he certainly
would not hesitate to apply for documents calculated to
enlighten the public on the question.
• Sir P. LAURIE said he could not for a moment re-
cognise the power in the Court to call for any docu-
ments connected with the hospital, as such recognition
would be a virtual acknowledgment of an authority
which did not exist.

TEM BUSINESS OF THE CENTR_4-L CRIMINAL COURT.

Alderman LAWRENCE wished to know whether 'Any-
thing had been done as to the erection of a third court
in the Old Bailey, for the purpose of expediting the
business of the Central Criminal Court. It was quite
evident that there was occasion for an additional court.
Objections had, he understood, been raised upon the
ground of enormous expense, but he believed that ade-
quate accommodation could be afforded 'without
any prodigal outlay, and he was sure that the ex-
pense to the country would be considerably dimi-
nished by giving additional facilities to the administra-
tion of justice. _ _

Sir P. LAURIE said he apprehended the cause of the
delay was to be attributed to the disposition in some
parties interested in the projected accommodation to
have a building of a very classical, and therefore very
expensive character. The city of London did not want
any fine display in a new court, and he thought the
Court ought to come to an understanding as soon as pos.
sible on the question.
Alderman LAWRENCE then moved, that the question
of the expediency of building another court for the dis-
patch of the criminal business, &c., be referred to the
General Purposes Committee.
Unanimously agreed to.
The report on the communications respecting the
West London Union, and the report of the Commis-
sioner of Police thereon, were ordered to lie on the

s.
A petitionTn
of carts,
&c., in the city of London, praying that the Court
would cause the excessive charges of greenyardd to be
reduced, and that the drivers shoulde bee amenable
for their misconduct. The petition statedmae that if a
policeman took off a cart and horse from the
street and
lodged them in the greenyard, upon any
ever, the price of their redemption amounted in every
instance to the sum of .13s. 6d.
Alderman LAwENCE took the opportunity which the
presentation of this petition afforded to allude to the
abuses which existed with respect to the penalties the
greenyard was appointed to carry into effect. He had
met with cases in his magisterial capacity in which there
was no excuse whatever far the conduct of policemen
and other persons in making prisoners of men who had
driven horses through the streets under the pretence
that cruelty was inflicted upon the animals. (Here
Alderman Lawrence adverted to a case which had re-
cently come before him, and which he had discharged.)
He more particularly noticed the activity of the police
in bringing complaints of cruelty before the magistracy,
and he found that the profit to the policeman in every
established case was 3s. 6d., and in many instances there
was nothing like cruelty proved. It seemed, however,
that the accidental rubbing off of an old scab was quite
evidence enough in the minds of some to constitute
cruelty, and off the horse was taken to the greenyard,
and off the driver was taken to prison, to suffer the penalty
attached to the alleged offence.—(Hear, hear.) It was
a very extraordinary thing if the traffic of London could
not ba carried on without resorting to so harsh and un-
just an expedient, and he hoped the committee, to which
he had no doubt the petition would be referred, would
raise the question.—(Hear, hear.) He considered it to
be a very tyrannical proceeding to apprehend, as a thief
would be apprehended, the driver of a cart loaded with
goals, hecause the horse had a sore which might have
been occasioned by an accident or exertion on the very
day of detection. He had observed several occasions of
the kind of which he did not at all approve, and he
should, therefore, move that the whole question be taken
into consideration by the committee.—(Hear.)
Alderman. SIDNEY, approved of the motion, but
thought the conduct of the police, as described by Al-
derman Lawrence, ought to be represented to the Com-
missioner.

The motion was then carried unanimously.
Adjourned.

Ax INDIAN EXECUTION.—The New Orleans Cres-
cent of August 8 says, that "on last Saturday night, at
Mandeville, on the other side of the Lake Pontchartrain,
an Indian murdered an Indian, by stabbing him with a
large knife. A son of the murdered man immediately
gave information to two of the tribe, and they took the
offender into custody. On Sunday morning a court,
composed of ten Indians, was formed to hear the case
and pass sentence. The proofs were most conclusive,
and the prisoner was at once condemned to death.
Whereupon ho was measured, his grave marked out, and
he himself set to work digging it. When the grave was
finished, a rifle was placed in the hands of the murdered
Indian's son for the purpose of doing the execution. At
the first shot death was not produced ; the second shot
also took effect, but did not kill, and the stoical violator
of innocent life fell into his grave, and was there finally
killed, and covered with earth as he lay. The court
that had condemned him then took their own instrument
of justice into custody, and started off for the purpose
of delivering him to the civil authorities of Covington,
to obtain his final discharge as an innocent man."

The minutes of the-last meeting having been read and
confirmed, _

The CHAIRMAN said be was glad to inform them that
the report of the eminent engineers who had been
appointed to examine the sewers of the city of Leridon
had been received, and that, in the course of a few day:
it would be printed in extenso. He was happy to state
that the report was of a most favourahleeharacter, and
fully proved that their sewers were in the excellent stet(
which they had represeated them to be.--(liear, hear.)
The abstract of the report,; which had already been
published, had krektly assisted them in obtaining then
new Act (the City of London Sewers Act), which Wrik
to come into operation' in January neat, for they had
found very little difficulty in the matter, when they were
once enabled to ihow that the reports which had
been circulated against. them were without foun-
dation.-- (Hear,- hear.) In obtaining that Act he
thought that they had conferred a great benefit,
not only upon the city of London, but upon the
whole country, for they had succeeded in defeating
the attempt to take away all local authority. He con
gratulated the Court most sincerely upon the passing of
that measure, and he was sure that everything that
could be done by the new Commissioners to be ap-
pointed, with the view of facilitating the objects which
they all so much desired, would be done.—(Hear, hear.)
He concluded by moving that a select committee of the
members of that Court-should be appointed to early out
the provisions of the Act.
Mr. Deputy Bamait saw no use in the appointment
of a committee. It would bp their duty, to do that which
the Act directed, -and the committee could make them
do either more or less.

Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE said probablrthe-new Act
would require many alterations in the commission. At
present they-did not. kncurVifit' Ember they were to
have, how often they were jfsmeet, what was to be the'
course of their prooeeditigs, cir, ift fact, anything about it._
The Act was a moat ,rolaminous one, containing up-
wards of 200 clauses, and he thought it most essential
that they should hare the assistany of a preliminary
inquiry by a committee to guide them in their, yreceed-
,
ings.—(llear, hear.) -
After some further -discussionf, the appointment of a
committee of nine was agreect.to,. three to form a
quorum.
A vote of thanks was then passed to 'the members of
the select committee, to the. Lord Mayor, and to those
members of the House' of Cenimons who had supported
the Bill in its passage through the House.
Mr. Daw, the Chief Clerk, read a letter from the
Metropolitan Court of Sewers Commissioners, request-
ing that the City Commissioners would appoint one 01
their body to sit with them upon the Metropolitan Sur-
rey Committee.
A very lengthened discussion ensued upon-this pgink
in which Mr. Kemp, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. H.
L. Taylor, Mr. Blake, and the Chairman took part,'end
it was ultimately referred to a select committee. to con•
sider and report upon.
Mr. Gore, the well-known dust contractor,
summoned for permitting his men to sweep mud down
the public gullet's' in the City. The present case was
proved by police-coditable-Wilkina, and the defendant
was fined in the full penalty -of was again

LIGHTING Tlg CITY.
Mr. Pierrepoint, of WorCester, applied for permission
to put up twelve patent lamps at convenient places in the
City, at his own expense, with the view of showing their
superiority•over'those at present in use. The principle
involved a new applicatibn ef reflectors,• and he con-
tended that his lamps possessed an illuminating power,
as compared with the. present street lamps, of about-five
to one, with the same consumption of gas. Infect, the
photometer showed- that these lamps afforded a better
light at a distance of sixty yards than• the ordinary ones
did at ten yards.
Leave was ultimately giien for tba lamps to be tested
as desired.

_Some routine business followed, and after a vote of
;hanks to the Chairman, the court broke up.
