Marriage reqaires the fulfilment of several oonclitions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which cevers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious : the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
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.
Tkis 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 ,

FIRE IN ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, CAUSED BY THE
SUN.—Yesterday afternoon, between three and four
o'clock, a fire that at one time threatened very disas-
trous consequences, brake out upon the premises belong-
ing to Messrs. Cook, Sons, and Co., writ ehousemen, &c.,
of St. Paul's Churchyard. Owing to the timely assist-
ance of the workmen on the premises the damage was
c‘trifined to the destruction of twenty-five cotton dress-
pieces, some waistcoat pieces, and the demolition of
eighteen squares of glass. In making his return to the
insurance offices Mr. Braidwood gives the following
"cause of fire;"—A linen curtain, which hung befote
the top floor back window, took fire at the open part of
the window first. The window faces the south, and
being higher than the opposite buildings, is completely
exposed to the sun. The firm is insured in eleven of
the principal fire-offices in London and the county.
ALLEGED ATTEMPT AT MURDER BY A SOLDIER
IN CARLISLE GARRlSON.—Considerable sensation has
been created in the Castle and its neighbourhood by a
report that a private of the 30th Regiment of Foot, of
which a company is now stationed in our garrison, had
attempted to shoot Sergeant Doherty, of that regiment.
The private is named Gleeson, and from what has trans-
pired his motive appears to have arisen out of an im-
pression that he had received unnecessarily harsh treat-
ment at the hands of the sergeant. On Wednesday
forenoon, between eleven and twelve o'clock, Gleeson
was observed by two other soldiers, who were in the same
room, to load his musket. Atter placing it aside, he
went below to another room, wherein were sitting Ser-
geant Doherty and several privates, reading. Gleeson
asked Sergeant Dt.herty to come up stairs, as he had
something there he wished to show him. "1 he sergeant,
however, appeared indifferent about it, and simply replied
that he was busy, on which Gleeson returned by himself
to the room above. Five minutes had hardly elapsed
before a footstep was heard on the stairs, and Gleeson,
most probably expecting that it was the sergeant coming
up, seised the musket (which was loaded with ball cart-
ridge and capped), and presented it at the man who en-
tered the room, who proved to be Corporal Fuller. Pri•
♦ate Cuthbert rushed upon Gleeson, and wrested the
firelock from him before the trigger was snapped. had
he not succeeded, probably the corporal would have re-
ceived a deadly wound from a charge which was intended
for the seargeant. Gleeson was immediately secured and
conveyed to the guard-room. Yesterday (Thursday)
morning, Gleeson was examined betore Capt. Wilkinson,
when he stated that Sergeant Doherty had reported him
and got him confined three days to barracks, for alleged
dilatoriness in the ranks. He also complained of the
conduct of non-commissioned officers of the 30th Regi-
ment, who, he saint, whenever they wished to show an un-
friendlyfet ling,were in the habit of reporting the privates,
to the adjutant, for alleged misconduct or negligence,
and the adjutant generally ordered them on " instruction
drill" till further orders, as a punishment. This, Gleeson
said, was not the case in any other regiment. Gleeson
remains in the guard-room, awaiting trial on the charge.

serious, if not fatal consequences, occurred on Friday
afternoon on the Newmarket portion of the Eastern
bleeOatNternldEesd RAILWAY.w
mo s
t
Counties Railway. It appears from the inquiries made
at the London terminus that the Newmarket Company
run no luggage or good trains, but introduce luggage
vans and trucks into their passenger trains. On Friday
afternoon the 3 30 p.m. train left Newmarket at its cus-
tomary time for London, and proceeded on its journey
to Dullingham, which is the first station, four miles
from Newmarket, the whole of which distance the line
is along an inclined plane up hill. At Dullingham the
train was stopped, and the engine, with a van, which is
a break carriage, was detatched, and turned into a siding
for the purpose of fetching an addition to the train, con-
sisting of two or three luggage trucks, going to town,
leaving the train on the main line, nearly at the top of
the hill. The train, however, when detached from the
engine and van, made a retrograde motnement, whether
impelled by its own weight downward is not known, but
it continued its ;progress, its speed increasing as it des-
cended the hill, until it dashed with great force into the
Newmarket terminus, from which it had started, to the
no small consternation of the passengers, who were most
of them thrown violently from theirsuats by the force of
the concussion. Every assistance was immediately
afforded them; surgeons were sent for, and were in
prompt attendance, when it was found, on examination,
that four persons only had sustained serious injury.
One of them ryas a lady, who exhibited some severe cuts
and contusiceas about the head and face. Another had
the appearance of a:jockey, who, in addition to similar
injuries, was much bruised. The above is the first ac-
cilent of the kind that has happened since the opening
of the Newmarket line.—Observer.
DEA"CII DT DROWNING.—Last night, between the
hours tht eight and nine ,'clock, a boy of the name of
Mills, about ten years of age, was accidentally drowned
in the. Regent's canal, near the Maiden-lane-bridge. It
appears that the deceased was standing on the towing-
path, at the time that a barge was coming along,
when the rope attached to the barge caught the de-
ceased and precipitated him into the canal. The drags
were immediately sent for, but before they arrived the
body was got out by a boy, who plunged into the canal
after the poor fellow, quite dead, it having been under
the water about six minutes. The body now lies at
the Albion public house, Maiden-lane, Battle-bridge.
ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR. W. DASIN.—Last
711:;ht Mr. W. Payne, the City coroner, resumed at the
Parochial School-room, Church-passage, Shoemakers'-
row, Blackfriars, the adjourned inquiry touching the
death of Mr. W. Dakin, tea merchant, No. 1, St. Paul's
Churchyard. Two witnesses having been examined, at
the request of the legal gentlemen present, the inquiry
was again adjourned to Tuesday (this day week), to the
London Coffee-house, the present room being found too
small. _ _ _ _• _ -

CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.)
OLD CO 1.11:7'.
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman W. HUNTER.)
CHARGE OF STEALING A PICTURE OF THE VALUE OF
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS.-Mr. Henry Gum-
pertz, a very respectable•looking man, surrendered to his
bail to answer an indictment charging him with stealing
a picture of the value of 1501., the property of John W.
Wren.

Mr. Cockburn attended specially for the prosecution,
and Mr. Crowder for the defendant.
Mr. COCKBURN, immediately upon the jury being
charged, said that atter reading the depositions he had
not the slightest hope of being able to convict the party.
accused, and therefore, on the part of the prosecution,
he declined occupying the Court with a prosecution that
he felt convinced must fail.

The RECORDER observed that the transaction was n
it
enormous contract, an enormous deposit, and a slig
result.

The jury then, under the direction of the Learnl
Judge, found Gumpertz Not Guilty, and he left the
court surrounded by his friends.
This case, we understand, has been adjourned, from
session to session, for some time.

SHEEP STEALING.—John Webb and George King were
convicted of feloniously killing a sheep, the property of
Joh❑ Stratton Thompson, and stealing the carcase, at
Barking, on the 19th of April last, and sentenced to
twelve months' imprisonment and hard labuur is the
House of Correction.

Allred Grazert, a youth 19 years of age, who had
been in the service of Viscount Jocelyn, pleaded Guilty
to an indictment charging him with feloniously forging
a warrant and order for the payment of 101., with.intent
to defraud William Prirg.
Lord Jocelyn, who had been in court all the naorning,
immediately upon the prisoner pleading guilty, re-
quested the permission of the Court to make a few
observations on his behalf. The prisoner had been in
his service up to the date of the transaction, and he had
never entertained the slightest suspicion of his honesty
until this charge was brought against him. He now believed
that he had formed some bad connexions, which he was
most anxious he should get rid of, and if the Court could
consistently with its duty, pass
upon the prisoner a light
sentence, he (Lord Jocelyn) would make arrangements
by which the prisoner should be sent out to sea fur three
years, and by that means get rid of acquaintances that
would lead him to ruin. lie was in hopes that this
course would be the means of reclaiming the prisoner,
and ultimately make him a good member of society.
The prisoner cried bitterly during this recommenda-
tion to mercy by his noble and feeling master.
The RECORDER sentenced him to six months im-
prisonment in Newgate, observing that the offence was
one which required punishment,
of the sentence of the Court must be made by the Se-
cretary of State ; or any representation to whom, on
behalf of' the prisoner, he would join the Noble Lord,
ck who haso kindly exerted himself on behalf of' the
prisoner. and that any remission

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Frederick Study was charged before Mr. Jardine with
creating a disturbance at the Golden Cross hotel.
Mr. Gardner, of the Golden Cross hotel, Charing-
cross, said that on Sunday evening the prisoner came to
his house with a woman, and ran up a score of 21. Ile
remained till the morning, when he went away without
paying. At night he returned in company with the
same woman. He was drunk. He made use of abusive
and threatening language. His conduct was so violent
that it became necessary to call a policeman to take him
in custody.
Mr. George Radley, of Radley's hotel, Bridge street,
Blackfriars, said that on Sunday morning the prisoner
was drinking at his house with a woman. They remained
till nighr, and went away without paying.
The prisoner addressed the Magistrate in a very vehe-
ment manner, informing him that he was the " uncle of
Judge Study," that he had served in the E. I. C. service,
was invalided in 1843, being then a Lieutenant', was pro-
prietor of the whole Island of Newfoundland, and never
was drunk in his life. The prisoner then went on to say
that he was on terms of intimacy with Lords Ilardinge,
Gough, and others, and to mention some persons to
whom he was known in London 1 among
others to Dr. Scott. He wound up by saying
that he had had the cholera four times, fever
twice, and sun-stroke once; that he had three bullets
in him" at that moment, and shaved every morning
with " poor Sale's razor."
in order to send
to Dr. Scott and inquire of that gentleman if he knew
Mr. JARDLNE put the prisoner back
any of the prisoner's friends, as it was clear the prisoner's
mind was not in a sound state.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
(THIS DAY.)
About half-past seven o'clock this morning the utmost
consternation was created in the neighbourhood of
Houndsditch, by the discovery of the body of a child,
about six years of age, in the back yard of the house,
No. 16, Tenter-street, Spitalfields. Information was
instantly conveyed to the station-house, Leman-street,
when, on inquiry, it was found that the child, whose
death was caused by strangulation, a handkerchief being
fastened tightly round the throat, was the son of a
ofped this paltry pro-
, after having
person name Lazarus, living at No. 26 in the same
street. He was last seen at home at six o'clock on the
corduroy,
murdered; and
;
whichand previous night, being at the time dressed in a new suit
obfee oduurrdoyr
perty is the only accountable motive for the abominable
crime. At half-past eleven o'clock two men in their shirt
sleeves, in a high state of excitement, were seen drag-
ging an ill-favoured masculine looking woman towards
theh o
possession'as stri p
the station-house in Leman-street, Whitechspel, sur-
rounded by a crowd. The rumour was, that she was in
custody for the murder of her own child, and it was with
great difficulty that the police were able to prevent
the women, who formed the larger portion of the
crowd, from tearing her to pieces. When taken to the sta-
tion-house she gave the name and address, Sarah Rogers,
14, Angel-court, Stony-lane, Houndsditch. The primary
evidence against her was, that whilst in the mob who
were discussing the maider in the Tenter-ground, she
was heard to say, that she knew the person who
pur-
chased the clothes of the murdered boy, and that aruan
in Bridewell-alley could throw a light upon the matter.
