31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes am-
hitter 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
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. iu 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
-edited, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ey mieinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
tor the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the erapyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, aro a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
tittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,

Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance 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
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

UNDER THE CIIIN CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND nu.s.—Robert Davidson, shoemaker, of An-

struther, had suffered for more than five years with a
very dreadful abscess under his chin. During this time
ho had been under the care of two surgeons in Anstru-
ther, and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect of
a cure ; in this miserable condition he began to use
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in the short space
of two months soundly healed the wound, and he is now
enjoying the best of health. These fine medicines are
admirable remedies for King's evil, wounds of all kinds,

FATAL STEAM-BOAT COLLISION. NORTH-
SHIELDS, FEB. 10.—A most deplorable occurrence hap-
pened on the Tyne, early this morning, which involved
the loss of four lives. It appears that between five and
six o'clock six boiler makers in the employ of Marshall,
at South Shields, put off in a boat to cross the river.
The weather was rather hezy, and on the boat reaching
about the middle of the river, two steamers were tio-
ticed coming down. They had their usual lights up,
and the men in the boat believing that there was time
for them to row over before them, proceeded to so with
all their might, at the same time hailing the crews of
the steamers to ease their engines. They had,
however, been observed, and one of the steamers,
the Alice, had her engines stopped and her helm put to
the south. Unfortunately this happened to be the di-
rection the beat was going to get clear, and before it
could succeed, the Alice came in contact with the craft,
and ran it dawn. The whole of its unfortunate occu-
pants were instantly struggling in the water. Cries
being raised for assistance, boats put off to assist in
rescuing the poor fellows. Two of them managed to
grasp the steamer's paddle, and were saved; while an-
other was picked up by a coble. The remainder, how-
ever, with the boatman, were not seen, and consequently
perished.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending February 8,
1848. is 26. i. C 34 (1. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

kFrom the London New Price Current of Feb. 11.).

Steoen.—To-day there was a further &crease in the
demand for all kinds of raw Sugar, both for home
arid exportation ; and prices are further depressed. The
demand was extremely limited fur West Llia, both for
the scale and pan, only
70 hhds Sic finding buyers at
rather lower rates. The market closes with much heavi-
ee,s for all sorts of Sugar.
REFINED.—To•drty refined goods were operated in
with much caution by the home trade, and prices are
further depressed, standard lumps selling at 545 6d, and
brown grocery 53s 6d. The tendency of prices is still
downwards. Bonded Crushed Sugar is little wanted,
and there is a desire to sell fine sort at 29s to 305 per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal
Sugar amounting to 5,643 bags were offered at public
sale, the demand was limited and not above half found
buyers, white sorts at a reduction of 6d to Is, but strong
yellow fetched the full value.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon only a limited demand
was experienced by private treaty, and of 1.315 bags at
auction, a small part only sold, at a further fall of 6d
per cwt.
FORElGN.—Although the rates taken by private treaty
exhibit a reduction on those previously current of 6d to
Is pre cwt, ye) the hatle teride forthe most part re-e
frained from operating, whilst the demand has been
limited from our refiners working under bond. On the
part of exporters little disposition was shown to purchase.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sale of 414 bags, 27
casks of Plantation Ceylon Coffee went off at very full
rates, good middling bold, of a favourite mark, realising
60s to 65s 6d, middling 54s to 58s, low middling 51s to
535, fine fine ordinary 48s to 495, fine ordinary mixed
42s to 435, pea berry 55s to 63s 6d, and triage 275.
Native is still required, and 850 bags sold at 6d to is per
cwt advance. Mocha sells more readily, and 105 bales at
auction went 3s to 6s above former prices. Of Costa
Rica 1,554 bags fetched the full value.
TEl.—At the public sales which concluded on Mon-
day last, the demand was extensive for all descriptions of
Green. Black also met with a good sale, scented and
Pekoe Teas were operated in with greater freedom. The
total quantity submitted to public competition amounted
to 26,540 pkgs, and the unusually large proportion of
16,000 pkgs found buyers at prices showing au advance
on those current in the private market, Congou of id,
Imperial and Gunpowder 2d to 4d, 'Tyson 2d, Young
Hyson Id to lid, Twankay id to id, whereas other
kinds of Tea fully obtained the former value.
breces.—The supply of Pepper continues on the de-
crease, and none has been offered at public sale this
week. By private treaty several parcels have been
disposed of, and at fully former rates. White is much
in request, and advanced id to -id. Pimento is in in.
creased request, and realised a further advance of id to
id per lb : at auction, 237 bags were all sold. Fur
Nutmegs the demand is more active, and as there is a
less plentiful supply, prices are on the advance. For
Mace there is a brisk demand, and holders show firmness.
Cloves cannot be called cheaper, but the sales made are
of little moment. Although Cinnamon can be obtained
upon the reduced terms of the last quarterly sales, still
the purchases made have been of little interest. Of
Cassia Lignea the supply of all kinds is scanty, and
prices in consequence rule high, but not much inquiry
has prevailed. For Ginger the market has an improving
appearance, the demand is increasing, and prices are
falling off.
RICE.—For Madras and yellow Bengal there has
been a much better demand for exportation this week,
and full rates are obtained, but the market has been well
supplied. White Bengal is however little required for
home consumption or shipping, although merchants are
willing to make a further concession in the value of ed
per cwt, and the supply yet exceeds the demand: at
public sale 3,140 bags Madras were disposed of.
Cleaned Rice is not much required, and Town dressed
Carolina can be easily purchased.
INDIGO.—To-day 743 chests have passed the sale, of
which 301 were in the East India Corepany'e hands.
The biddings continue to be very animated. and the
advance previously noticed is fully supported.
COCHINEAL—The supply having materially increased
this week, prices have suffered a depression of Id to 2.1
per lb for Honduras; the demand, however, has been
good for all sorts. Of 231 bags offered ut auction the
chief part was disposed of.
EVIRITS.—The market has been in a very dull state
for all kinds of Rum this week, and so trifling have been
the purchases made by exporters and the home trade,
that it is diff-cult to Trots prices wish aeesur: ey,, The
tendency is, however, downwards, and the nearest rates
are, proof East India Is 7d, Leeward Island Is 8.1
to is 9d, Jamaica 30 to 36 per cent over proof
3s 9d to 4s 2d, fine 4s 3d to 4s 7d, and Demerara 26 to
38 over 2s 10d to 3s 3d. For Brandy prices are net
lower, but little has been done. Geneva is cheaper,
shipping sort 2s 3:1 to 2s 4d. The quotation of British
Corn-Spirit has been reduced to 10s, and Gin is 21
cheaper.
TeLeow.—To-day prices declined for P. T. C. to 53s
to 53s ed on the spot, and 46s for the last three months
of the year; few buyers were to be met with. The
public sales went off flatly, and upon lower terms.
Ores.—This afternoon, at public sale, 90 packages
Cocoa Nut Oil in part sold at 55s to 58s for good and
fine; 170 casks Palm, good 36s 6d to 36s 9d ; and 30
tuns Sea Elephant Oil, at 281 to 311.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 11.
'Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the LORD CHIEF
BARON and Special Juries.)
LONG V. RENNIB.

In this case Mr. hi. Hill and Mr. Willes appeared
for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin, with whom was Sir
J. Bayley, represented the defendant.
The action was brought for the purpose of recover-
ing from the defendant, Sir J. Rennie, the sum of
8001., being the balance of an account alleged to be
due to the plaintiff for professional services, as a sur-
veyor, rendered to the defendant upon various pro-
jected lines of railway of which he was the engineer.
The original claim of the plaintiff had been, it ap
peared, reduced in the month of May to a sum of
about 2,699/. 14s. 3d., at which time an arrange-
ment was entered into, through the mediation of
Messrs. Freshfield, solicitors, by which the plaintiff
was to receive 1,000/. down, and a bill, at one month,
for 300/., and a further sum of SOO/. (the plaintiff
having consented to reduce his claim to 2,300/.) was
to be paid within a month from the time of the de-
fendant's receiving from the various companies by
whom he was employed the balances due to him.
The defence to the action was that as the defendant
had not received payment from the company for
which the work had been done, the plaintiff having
entered into an agreement to receive the balance only
in the event of his so receiving such paymea, he was
not in a condition to sue the defendant.
The case was before the Court yesterday, and oc-
cupied a considerable portion of time to-day.
The jury finally returned a verdict for the plaintiff
upon two of the counts, and for the defendant upon
one of the counts in which the agreement was con-
cerned, leaving the damages to be assessed by the
Court.
