GAS LIGHT—CLEAR as a BRILLIANT.
The power of Gas-light, and its simplicity recommend it ; but
to burn Gas without injury to health, is the grand object. The
Golden and CoMet Gas Burners a stream of lucid light display ; its
vOtiteness is proof of its purity —a perfect combination of the gases
is effected, this science has decreed correct. Economy in use. No
caroon emitted. Can any Mori be done ? All confmon gas burners
should be laid aside, their continued use only creates thrther evils.
These perfect burners are Ss. &1., ss. 9d., and 6s. Sd. each, according
to their power of light. Burning continually at the Establishment of
the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY, RICHARD CLARK,
Resident Manager, 40, West Strand, Ten Doors from Lowther

CELIBACY:—Singleness is not always the con-
sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a d 1111-
cony 'ln meeting with a fit helpmitte. Thousands of the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did
they feel themselves_ equal to its obligations; and the chequered
phge of life reveals innumerable instane,s where, under that
blighting 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 be 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
ftom 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
disquidifidittiOns for Marriage have more than one printery 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 and acquired
disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented frommarrying by the effects
of disease—which, when 111-cured, leaves traces thit forbid all im-
pulse towards, wedlock. In each of these Instances it is unhappily
too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and
lie fails to consult'even his own medical attend:int. Such will find
all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on NervonS
Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of
which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO.,
Consultiag Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled
MANHOOD ; the Causes' of. its Premature ,Decline, with Plain
Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c.. This eminent Work,
which is forwarded by W. Strange, Roookseller, 21, Patnernoster-
row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope for 2s. W., in postage
stamps, hiss saved thousands, and the result of its perusal has in-
variably been a restoration of the reader to his positive as a useful
memter of society. •

.11- One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Difildenee, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern-
idtter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
at caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindranets to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
theso surmises concern yam procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S

for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or

mmpidets; but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
in‘tre ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
•ervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, hoWever, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. flow 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, *r 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 ! 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
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of Investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

' La'Mert en the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
moral who meets with a timely mentor to natch h fro the glf
intot which such scenes must plunge him I. s
In thelm bookm u before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the '
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats
the . It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, it teat 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 abstemiousness 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 has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

THE SINGLETON SCHOONER.--Considerable appre-
hension still prevails in the town respecting the late of
this fine little craft. Up to our going to press nothing
which can be relied on has been heard of her. She is
the property of our esteemed Member, J. 11. Vivian,
Esq., and sailed from this port with copper ore for Liver-
pool three weeks ago.—Cambrian.
