NI One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Wtter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

for the closet perusal of those mere 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

H A.NO VER. SQUARE ROOMS. Miss Steele and
Mr. Brinley Richards's concert was given on Friday
night. It was crowded with rank and fashion. Miss
Steele was encored in Dr. Arne's song, " Where the
Bee sucks." Sims Reeves's interpretation of the scene
from Lucia, " Fra poco a me," ensured, as it always
does, a rapturous encore. John Parry, the funny, the
jocose, the laughter-exciter, was of course obliged to
sing again. Mr. Brinley Richards's performance of the
grand concerto by Mendelssohn was excellent in every
point. Giulio Regondi's fantasia on the concertina was
perfection itself.
THE GRAND CALEDONIAN FANCY DRESS BALL.
—The committee of ladies patronesses met yesterday to
make their final arrangements for this annual costume
ball. It was positively determined by the ladies pa-
tronesses that no gentleman should be admitted to the
ball unless dressed in the Highland garb, uniform, or
fancy dress. Three fancy quadrilles, consisting of the
first families, arranged by Lady Anne Mackenzie, are
already completed. The staircase is to be lined with
stalwart Highlanders, armed with Lochaber axes and
bearing banners of the most distinguished clans. The
ladies patronesses are to meet at ten o'clock, to receive
the Royal Family and their distinguished foreign guests.
The company will be saluted on their entrance by the
pipers—viz., her Majesty's, the Duke of Argyll's, the
Duke of Richmond's, and Captain Forbes'. The juvenile
band will play various airs previous to the ball com-
mencing. We are glad to hear that *e applications for
vouchers are exceedingly numerous, and Wednesday
being the last day of changing them, we recommend an
early application to those who are not already provided.

DREADFUL SUICIDE.
Saturday forenoon, Mr. Bedford held an inquiry at
the Cavalry Barracks, Knightsbridge, touching the
death of Henry Robert Pearcock, aged 23, a private in
the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, who destroyed himself
while under confinement in the black hole. The jury,
having been sworn, viewed the body, which lay in the
black hole, a place twelve feet by eight, and so ill venti-
lated, as to call forth remarks from the Coroner and the
Jury. The deceased was lying extended on his back,
on a kind of bench, which served him for a bed ; the
whole of the front of his shirt was burnt, and exposed a
pistol shot wound on the left breast, over the region of
the heart. The bullet had passed completely through
the body, and was found fixed in the wall behind the bed.
Charles Adkins, lance-corporal in the 2d Life
Guards, deposed that he was a private in the same regi-
ment. At ten o'clock on Tuesday night last, he
posted the deceased on sentry in the stable-yard, and it
was his duty to have remained there two hours ; but at
a quarter-past 11 it was discovered that deceased had
left his post, and had broken out of barracks, which ho
effected by scaling a wall. At a quarter past one the
following morning, deceased returned to barracks in a
state of excitement, when, acting according to regimental
orders, he placed him under arrest, and confined him in
the black-hole, where he remained until six o'clock,
when he was removed to the guard-room, and a sentry
placed over him. At noon the same day deceased was
conveyed before the colonel, who sentenced him to be
confined in the black-hole for 168 hours, and to be after-
wards confined in barracks for three weeks. The de-
ceased was marched back to the black-hole, and his mat-
tress and bedding were brought to him, and before he
was left witness examined the whole of the place, toge-
ther with his clothes and bedding, to see that deceased had
nothing improper in his possession; he even searched under
the mattress to see that he had no lucifer matches con-
cealed, in case of accidents. He visited him again at a
quarter-past two, accompanied by Corporal Read, in
whose custody he left him. The deceased, did not alas
pear at all depressed in spirits on account of the sentence,
which was an extremely mild one; there were no fire-
arms in his possession when ho left, nor could he at all
account for the way in which he got the pistol, as none
but non-commissioned officers and trumpeters are al-
lowed that kind of arms. The pistol found in the
accused's place of confinement belonged to the trum-
peter of the troop to which deceased was attached, and
was kept in a rack in the barrack-room, accessible to
any one.
Corporal Sweedy deposed that at one o'clock at noon
on Friday, he accompanied the orderly officer to the
blackhole, and on opening the door locked in, and seeing
the deceased lying on the bed, he remarked, "All right
—ho is asleep," and left. In about five minutes after-
wards the person who entered with the deceased's dinner
exclaimed, "That he had cut his throat." Witness went
in immediately, and saw him in the position he was seen
by his officer. He had a pistol-shot wound on his left
breast. Mr. M'Cullogh, the assistant-surgeon, was sent

got there, nor had he or any of the guard which
was on the spot heard the report of the pistol.
After some further evidence had been given, but with-
out elucidating any fresh facts,
The CORONER summed up the case, and
The jury returned the following verdict:—" That the
deceased died from a pistol-shot wound, inflicted by him-
self whilst in a state of temporary insanity."

LECTURES at the POLYTECHNIC

INSTITUTION.
BY ISFIAM BAGGS.
Yesterday the first Of a series of important and very
remarkable lectures, illustrative of the " Phenomena of
Thunder Storms, and the Cause of Lightning," was
delivered at the Polytechnic Institution, by Mr. Isham
Baggs' ',a gentleman already well known to the scientific
N'4'orld by his discoveries in electro-printing. Both in his
manner as a lecturer, and his skill in the manipulation of
an experiment, Mr. Baggs evinced his capacity to
arrest the attention of an audience, and convey
abstruse facts to their comprehension in the
clearest manner possible. After entering at consider-
able length into the subject of atmospheric electricity,
after observing that a certain amount of electricity is in
every instance developed by friction (insomuch that the
Arabian fiction was to
a certain degree realised, the
Genius of Electricity being evoked when the
lamp was rubbed by Aladdin), the lecturer de-
tailed the causes of the falling stars, the aurora
borealis, &c., &c., by a number of ingenious
and appropriate experiments. In a former article,
published several weeks since in the columns of
The Sun, we explained as simply as we could
the circumstances and character of the discoveries in
electricity then submitted to the Council and Fellows
of the Royal Society, by Mr. Isham Beggs, the gentle-
man now lecturing
at the Polytechnic Institution. The
lecture delivered by him yesterday afternoon demon-
strated by experiment What was there expressed in
theory. Further details upon the series will be given
by us as it progresses; but, at present, we cannot refrain
from observing that it has commenced admirably, and
appears likely to be attractive and popular.

TRINITY MONDAY.—Yesterday, according to cus-
tom on Trinity Monday, the Duke of Wellington, with
the Wardens and Brothers of the Corporation of the
Trinity House, went from the Tower to Deptford. The
procession having attended Divine service in the old
church of St. Nicholas, moved up Church.street, to the
Hospital -alled-the'rt:inity House of Deptford Strond.
They also visited the other Institution called Trinity
Hospital, and entered the great hall or chapel, for the
usual routine of business connected with their annual
visit. After the procession the Duke of Wellington re-
turned in his carriage to town. Trinity Fuir was held,
according to custom, in a field at the north end of
Church-street.

RETIREIMENT OF DR. CHAMBERS.—This ACCOM.
plished physician, who has so long held the leading
position among the practising physicians of the metro-
polis, and monopolised the chief practice in the fashion-
able world, has, we regret to learn, been obliged to
retire into the country on account of health ; and we
are informed that it is extremely improbable that he will
ever be able to take an active part in the arduous
labours of a physician of his rank in practice.
A DESERTED SHlP.—Under date Hamburgh, June
14th, we have the following:—" The brig Ferdinand,
Captain Groot, arrived at Port-au-Prince from Liver-
pool, states that, in latitude 36.54, and longitude 21.40,
she fell in with an abandoned ship, named the Mary, of
Liverpool, painted green, and so covered with barnacles
that she must have been long deserted ; but, owing to
the roughness of the weather, it was impossible to board

COLLISION BETWEEN THE POLICE AND THE POpu-
LACE.—NORWICM, SATURDAY EVENlNG.—Yesterday, a
rather serious encounter took place in this city between
a party of the police and a numerous mob, who, with
stones and broken bottles, kept up a furious attack on
the former during their passage through several streets
from the police-office to the gaol, as an escort to some
paupers who had refused (after a former imprisonment
for a similar refusal) to be separated in the workhouse
from their wives. The police were compelled at length
to turn in their own defence, and having made several
charges with their staves, effectually dispersed the
rioters, but not until numbers were severely hurt on
both sides. The tumult was not quelled till about one
o'clock this morning.
THE LATE CONFLAGRATION IN WOOD.STEET,
CHEAPSlDE.—Yesterday evening, Mr. William Payne,
the City Coroner, and a respectable jury assembled at
the Bell-inn, Wood-street, Cheapside, for the purpose of
inquiring into the circumstances connected with the fire
which occurred on Sunday morning upon the premises
belonging to Messrs. Barford, straw-bonnet manufac-
turers, and Messrs. Scowin and Co., No. 95, Wood-
street, Cheapside. The most important evidence pro-
duced on the .occasion was that of the policeman who
gave the alarm of fire, and who stated that at the time
he first saw the appearance of a fire through a window
in the second floor, he perceived a man leaving the
house. The man, when alted by the policeman, said
there was a fire in the house, and he was running for
the engines, but he did not return. It appeared from
the evidence that Mr. Barford, the proprietor, had left
for the country on Friday last, and that no person slept
on the premises. The inquiry was adjourned to obtain
the attendance of other witnesses.
THE WESTMINSTER REFORM SOClETT.—Yesterday
evening an influential meeting of the me:uhers of the
Westminster Reform Society was held at the York
Hotel, Upper Wellington-street, Strand, " to consider
the propriety of petitioning Parliament in support of
Mr. Humes motion for a reform in the representation
of the people," and to receive the report of the committee
appointed to revise the principles and rules of the society.
—Mr. Geesin having been called to the chair, read the
principles, as recommended by the committee, and which
were as follow:—" The extension of the suffrage to all
persons paying a rental for a house, or any part of a
house, and having been resident there for a period not
less than six months previous to registration; the vote
by ballot; a more equal apportionment of members to
the population; and triennial parliaments." On the re-
port being received and adopted, together with a peti-
tion to the House of Commons, it was further agreed
that it should be signed by the chairman on behalf of
the meeting; that Mr. Lushingtoa should present it; and
that General Sir De Lacy Evans should be requested to
give it his support.
SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, JUNE 19.—The Danish
ship Burgemeister Jensen, Captain Matthieson, from
Valparaiso, bound to Hamburgh, and the Bremen brig
Gazelle, Captain Bunge, from Arica for Hamburgh,
arrived in Cowes-roads yesterday for protection, in
consequence of the Danish war.
The funeral of William Woodhouse, late warder
in the House of Correction,
Ccldbath-fields, took place
yesterday, the melancholy circumstances of whose death
have already been stated in The Sun. The deceased
was highly respected by the Governor and the whole of
the officers of the above prison, and by a numerous circle
of private friends, who assembled on this occasion to pay
their last tribute of respect to his remains.
BOROUGH or MARYLEBONE.—Last evening a
public meeting of electors of the borough of Marylebone
took place at the Victoria Tavern, Mornington-road,
for the purpose of considering the questions of the re-
duction of taxation and promoting a better representa-
tion of the people. Mr. Thomas, a commissioner of the
Southampton Pavings Trust, presided, and the following
resolution was passed:--" That this meeting most
cordially approves of the motion given notice of by Mr.
Hume in favour of the ballot, extension of the suffrage to
householders, the return to the just and wholesome re-
gulation of triennial Parliaments, with a fair revision of
electoral districts." A petition founded on the resolu-
tion was carried nem. con., with a request that Lord D.
Stuart and Sir B. Hall be requested to support the same.
The meeting then separated.
A CHARTIST LEADER —Mr. John Briggs, a
member of the town council of Sheffield, and lately a
delegate from that town to the Chartist Convention,
held in the Lecture-hall, John-street, exhibited last
' Sunday afternoon such unmistakeable symptoms of in-
sanity that it was found necessary to convey him to the
insane ward at the Sheffield workhouse, where he now
is, awaiting the order of the justices for his removal to
the West Riding Lunatic As) lum, at Wakefield.

QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius).
(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)
SLANDER—PALMER AND WIFE V. FLINT..
This was an action of slander. The plaintiffs were a
lady and gentleman living upon their property, and the
defendant a hosier and draper, carrying en business in
Oxford-street. On the 20th of January last Mrs.
Gilbert, accompanied by her daughter, went to the de-
fendant's shop and desired to be shown a particular
description of handkerchiefs. Several lots were exhi.
bited to them but none of them suited, and upon their
telling the defendant as much he said they were a
couple of shoplifters, and he could not allow them to
leave the premises until he had examined their muffs.
The ladies feeling much hurt hurriedly left the shop and
went to Mr. George Smith, of Conduit-street, Regent-
street, a friend, to whom they related what had occur-
red. Mr. Smith returned with them to the defendant's
shop to remonstrate with him, but the defendant
imprudently told him that he was a " liar." Subse-
quently, however, the defendant exhibited great anxiety,
to apologise, but Mr. Smith would not be satisfied un-
less he consented to insert the apology in the news-
papers, and pay 10/. to the poor-box of the Marl-
borough Police-court, which the defendant refused to
do, and the result was the present action.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, 101.
The plaintiffs' counsel intimated that the 101. would
be applied to purposes of charity, and added that now
the ladies had vindicated their characters, a second
action which had been commenced on behalf of Mrs.
Gilbert, the mother of the plaintiffs, would be discon-
tinued.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

ivEw coURP.

(Before the CONDIOI;iISERGEANT and Mr. Alderman
Gums.)
THE CHARTIST RIOTERS AT CLERKENWELL-

GREEN.

Alfred Canton, a respectable looking young man, sur-
rendered to his bail to take his trial for assaulting the
police in the discharge of their duty, on Monday the
sth of June, on Clerkenwell-green. From the evidence
adduced it appeared that the prisoner was among a mob
of four or five hundred persons assembled on Clerken-
well-green on the evening of Monday the sth of June,
that he was joining in the hissing and hooting of the
police, and several witnesses deposed to seeing him
throwing stones.
Mr. BRIERLY, by the direction of the Common-Ser-
jeant, appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and
Mr. METCALFE defended the prisoner, and called seve•
ral witnesses, who deposed positively to the fact that the
prisoner did not throw stones, that he did not leave his
master's house, in Clerkenwell-green, till after eight
o'clock, and that he left it then for the purpose of going
to see his mother who resided in Whitechapel.
The Jury, without calling upon the Common-Serjeant
to sum up the case, acquitted the prisoner, who imme-
diately left the dock accompanied by his friends.
James Hayward and Charles Manchie, who were in•
dieted with assaulting the police, and who had pleaded
Not Guilty, expressed their desire to retract their plea of
Not Guilty and plead Guilty.
Mr. BODKIN then, on behalf of the prosecution, said
that he thought public justice would be satisfied by the
two prisoners entering into their own recognizances in
1001. each, to appear when called upon to receive judg-
ment. With respect to the other remaining prisoner,
M•Manus, the Crown did not intend to offer any evidence
against him. He hop, d, however, the course he had now
adopted would not be misunderstood, or that from it any
doubt would be entertain,d of the firm and fixed deter-
mination on the part of the public authorities to repress
proceedings of the character of those that had occupied
the attention of the Court for the last few days, which
were calculated to disturb the public peace, and terrify
the peaceable subjects of her Majesty.
The COMMON-SERGEANT considered that the Govern-
ment had adopted a most wise course in
considering that justice would be satisfied by calling
upon the two prisoners at the bar to enter into their
own recognizances in the sum of 1001. to appear when
called upon to receive judgment. He thought public
justice had been fully answered in the example that had
been made by the sentences that had been passed upon
seventeen of the prisoners. He wished, however, to
state that in consequence of the strong recommendation
of the jury the full penalty of the law had not been
visited upon any of the prisoners except one who had
been sentenced to two years' imprisonment on account of
his using a bar of iron in striking the police. Another
prisoner had been sentenced to 18 months' imprison-
ment on account of his violent conduct. He wished,
however, that it should be well understood that if other
charges of a similar nature were brought before the
Court, he should consider it to be his duty as a public
officer, and one bound to protect the public, to visit the
persons charged, if convicted, with the full penalty of
the law.

Several of the Counsel who had appeared for the pri-
soners, expressed their thanks to the public authorities
for the leniency with which they had acted towards their
clients.

The Solicitor for M'Manus was desirous of knowing
what course the Crown intended to pursue with respect
to M'Manus.
Mr. Bommt said that the Attorney-General would
enter a nolle prosequi in his case.
Mr. PAYNE could not express his thanks to the public
authorities for their leniency in this case, because he
felt that the charge was a groundless one, and could not
be supported, and that it was the conviction that such
was the case, and that alone, that had induced the
Crown to withdraw the prosecution against him.
The Solicitor then asked for a copy of the record and
indictment against M'Manus, as ho intended to institute
further proceedings on his behalf.
The COMMON-SERGEANT said there could be no ob-
jection to his having a copy of them if he thought that
he could make anything of them.
Owen Byron, Luke Vigo, and James Connor, were
convicted of violently assaulting a policeman on the 4th
of June, while in the execution of his duty; and sen-
tenced by the Common-Sergeant—Byron to one year's
imprisonment and hard labour, and Vigo and Connor to
nine months' imprisonment and hard labour.
This concluded the Chartist trials for this session.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a Bench of
Magistrates).
The June adjourned sessionswere commenced this
morning at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-green.
The grand jury having been sworn in, the Assistant-
Judge addressed them with the usual charge.
Joseph Robson, a respectable-looking man, aged 32,
and Ann Harris, aged 23, were indicted for stealing
half a crown arid a piece of tape, the property of Fanny
Slim, from her person. It appeared that the prosecu-
trix and a friend were passing through High-street, St.
Giles's, on the evening of Tuesday last, when they were
accosted by the male prisoner, who was accompanied by
the female, and he asked them if they had seen
anything of the row which had just taken place, and
he drew the attention of prosecutrix to a crowd collected
at the corner of Broad-street, and as she turned round
their friend saw the prisoner Harris put her hand in
Mrs. Slim's pocket and take out of it the roll of tape
and run away. The prosecutrix, on examining her
pocket, found that the half-crown also had been ab-
stracted. The man at first impeded the prosecutrix in
her attempt to pursue the woman, but when she was
brought back by a policeman he advised her to give up
the property, and she did so.
The female prisoner did not deny her guilt, but pro-
tested most earnestly that she knew nothing of the man.
Mr. Mellor, in defending Hobson, insisted that he was
a respectable man of unblemished character.

There were witnesses in favour of Robson's character,
but the police-constable of the E division proved that
the prisoners lived together in Drury-lace, the husband
of the woman being in prison, undergoing punishment
for felony. Besides, Robson, notwithstanding the re-
spectability of his appearance and manners, had been
twice before convicted of larceny in this Court.
They were both convicted, and sentenced to six
months' imprisonment with hard labour.

It has not been our lot for a long time to intrude
our nose between the pages of a book that hail pleased
us more than " Nasology ; or Hints towards a Classifica-
tion of Noses." It would seem that men hitherto, when
they have placed a finger to the side of the feature
treated of; in token of their sagacity, have not been
aware of the grave import of the action; and that though
we have been often told to " follow our nose, " no one
till now has discovered that we must do so whether or
not. The chapter on "snubs" and "celestials" is one
that would have enraptured the elder Slawkenbergius,
and "How to get a cogitative nose" is a speculation of
deep philosophical research. In a word, a rich nasal
twang vibrates through the bock—Evening paper.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady,
sales 4,000 bales. American brought 31%d. to 51,ie1. per lb.
Railway Shares were dull again and heavy, with very little
business doing. Prices were without change.
The advices from Denmark via Hull notice further pre-
parations for hostilities, but it is doubtful which side will re-
commence hostilities. An impression still prevails that
English mediation may be accepted, as neither party
can claim any decided advantage over the other.
The position of many firms iu the Baltic ports is seriously
compromised by the continuance of the war.
The recent accounts from America furnish the following
paragraph :
" It is quite obvious, from the present aspect of things,
that Canada was designed to go with the United States.
This wonderful Hudson of ours was certainly intended as
the outlet of its foreign trade, for it runs down into a mild
latitude, while the St. Lawrence runs away to the frozen
North, and seems to have been placed where it would be
most out of the way in a territory good for little else. That
men have arranged the matter in a way which contradicts
nature is constantly producing difficulty, as the same per-
verseness does in a hundred other cases. Yet if we would agree
to free trade—perfectly free—the political divisions of the
earth would not disturb its harmony. In that case Canada
might belong to Great Britain for ever, and yet enjoy al-
most all the advantages of our union. Its industry
might then exert itself as it pleased, and find its market
through our own Hudson without interruption by us. The
injury to Canada and ourselves has been pressed upon us
until we have agreed to several measures for its modification.
We have established the transit policy, by which foreign
goods transported through our internal communications are
entitled to a return of duties as if they had been exported by
sea. But there are some important embarrassments yet re-
maining.
One of these is set forth in a memorial which is
about to be presented for the signatures of our citi-
zens, asking that wheat may be returned en the
exportation of flour. This seems a very reasonable thing,
and
yet it cannot be done as the law now stands. The case
is the same as th

would interfere with our

our flour none the mere for this
would go to the same foreign
market. The memorial to
inch we have referred sets
forth that Canada, and
West, -did last year exporta wheatmet exclusively Canada
and flour to the
aggregate extent of more than
flour ; that we have mills, water million barrels of
lake vessels, and facilities of various power, capital,
