Marriaga requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it he 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
abitsed.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 subiect.
This work contains an accuraterat and complete account of the
Anatomy and Phys.ology Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health

certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a

solely to the treatment of these diseases.

FRIDAY, AUG. 11.
STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE.
The following Resolutions were reported from the above
Committee :
That in the case of the Wolverhampton Curacy (No.
2) Bill, the standing orders ought to be dispensed with:—
That the parties be permitted to proceed with their Bill.

castle-upon-Tyne) Estate Bill, the standing orders ought
to be dispensed with :—That the parties be permitted to
proceed with their Bill.
That in the case of the City of London Sewers petition,
for leave to read the Bill a second time, the standing
orders ought to be dispensed with :—That the Bill may

agreed to.

FIRES IN WARWICKSIIIRE.—Since the termination '
of the Warwick Assizes, on Tuesday last, a man has
been committed to the county gaol to take his trial for
wilfully setting fire to wheat and other ricks, at Salford,
near Alcester. Yesterday (Thursday) morning, about
half-past eleven o'clock, smoke was perceived issuing
from a bark-rick at Kenilworth, the property of Messrs.
R. and W. Draper, very extensive tanners of that place.
The rick contained about '2OO tons of bark, and its esti •
mated value is 1,6001. ; and, at the time our corre-
spondent wrote (six P.m.), the fire was but partially sub-
dued. The rick being thatched with straw,itis sup-
posed that the latter ignited by a spark
falling ffromo
an
adjacent chimney. The property was insured in the
County Fire-office, the engine of which, together with
the Warwick engines, were on the spot as soon, as prac-
ticable, but the fire had so entered the heart of the rick
that it was necessary to take it entirely to pieces. Strange
to say, that although Kennilworth has 5,000 inhabitants
it is yet minus a fire-engine.
ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—The thousands who have
been so delighted throughout this season with the great
exertions of the director, and the splendid effec:s those
exertions have produced, will be glad, but not surprised,
to hear that the vast array of talent here engaged have
risen up en masse to offer a flattering homage to their
manager, by appropriating Monday next to a coinpli-
mentary benefit, as some slight return for the immense
sacrifices. which have been made to sustain the high re-
puta non the Italian opera here enjoys.
STATE OF TRADE AT GLASGOW.—We understand
that a number of weaving factories, which have been ,
stopped for the greater part of the last twelve
months, have again resumed work; and now there
are about four or five at a stand-still. The
factories of Glasgow, of which there are above
forty in the city and neighbourhood, contain some
10,000 looms, and give employment to upwards of 12,000
females, and about 1,500 males. Most of these are now
in full employment. Though a reduction of ten per cent.
on their wages has lately been made they are still able
to earn a moderate livelihood. The spinning-mills are
in a still better condition, as they are all working on full
time, with but three exceptions.—Glasgow Paper.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROUSE OF LORDS.
FIELD'S DIVORCE BILL.
The proceedings upon this important and extraordi-
nary case came to a rather sudden and unexpected ter-
mination on Thursday last. We had the whole of the
following in type, and intended to have published it on
that day, but was prevented in consequence of the press
of Parliamentary matter and the foreign and Irish news.
The object of the Bill in this case was to annul a mar
riage that had taken place between a young lady of the
name of Field, between 18 and 19 years of age, and a
person of the name of Samuel Brown, who was upwards
of 52 years of age, and had formerly been a butler in a
family in Wimpole-street. Our readers will recollect
that we some time since gave a detailed account of the
case when Brown was tried and sentenesd to six months'
imprisonment at the Central Criminal Court for a false
entry of the marriage upon the marriage register
of Trinity District Marylebone Church. Immediately
upon the conviction of Brown proceedings were taken to
annul the marriage by the introduction of a Bill into the
House of Lords for that purpose. The second reading
of that Bill was appointed to come on some time since,
and upon that occasion the Lords present were the Earl
of Devon, chairman, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Campbell,
the Earl of Radnor, the Earl of Verulam, the Earl of
Lonsdale, Lord Sudeley, Lord Montfort, &C.
Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Roit, Sir John Bayley, Mr. Walford,
and Mr. Austin appeared for the petitioner ; and Mr.
Ballantine represented Samuel Brown, the husband, by
whom it was alleged that the young lady had been threat-
ened and coerced into the marriage against her own free
will and consent.
It appeared from the statement of the Learned
Counsel in opening the case, that the circumstances con-
nected with the present proceedings were of the most ex-
traordinary character. In 1843 Mr. James Field,
the father of Miss Esther Field, dmd, leaving
the petitioner and a younger brother orphans.
By the death of her father Miss Field became
possessed of landed property to the extent of 1,200/. a
year, and about 40,0001. in money. Should her brother
die this amount would be doubled. Mr. Robert and Mr.
John Brown, the brother of the Samuel Brown who had
coerced the young lady into a marriage, were the trustees
and executors to the will of James Field. In the month
of April, 1847, Miss Field, who was then 17 years of
age, went to reside in the house of Mr. John Brown, at
Tring, in Hertfordshire, where he carried on the busi-
ness of a brewer and innkeeper, and in his business he
was assisted by Samuel Brown, who had previously been
a butler in a family in Wimpole-street. Samuel Brown
was at this time 52 years of age; and, upon Miss Field
going to his brother's house she used to call her guardian
father, Mrs. Brown mother, and Samuel Brown uncle.
She treated the whole as relatives. On the 18th of May,
1847, Samuel Brown proposed, to her astonishment, mar-
riage to her. She laughed at him, but when she found
that she was persecuted and annoyed she told him she
loved another, and could never love him, for be was
old enough to be her grandfather. Brown then began
to threaten her, saying that if she did not marry him
he would shoot himself, and having found out who was
the object of her affections, threatened to do him some
injury. Brown afterwards renewed his threats in such
a way as to cause the young lady before the day was
over to consent to become his wife. On the following
day he left the house, and did not return until the 21st or
22d of May, when she begged to be released from her
promise, as she could not perform the contract, and again
adverted to the great disparity of years. For a few days
Brown remained quiet, when he again began his system
of persecution, and continued it until the 18th of June,
when he again obtained her consent to the proposed
union. On that occasion he showed her a letter, which
he bad addressed to her brother in consequence of her
conduct. During the whole of this extraordinary pro-
ceeding he made her pledge herself to secresy, and
by gross and wicked fraud be succeeded, on the
morning of the 19th or 20th of June, after having
obtained her promise, in bringing her to London.
While on the way she again told him that her I,
heart failed her, and that she could never become
his wife; when he said, " Nonsense," and that resist-
ance was out of the question. On arriving in town
they proceeded to the residence of the parish clerk, and
afterwards to Trinity Church, Marylebone, where the
marriage was solemnized. Even at this stage of the
proceedings Brown was guilty of deception, tor he said
they were to be married at St. George's Church, Hano-
ver-square, by license, instead of which they were mar-
ried by banns. He told ber that if any questions were
asked he would answer them. After they were married
they returned to Tring about half-past five o'clock. In
this most unfortunate and distressing affair there was one
happy circumstance connected with this marriage—it
hail never been consummated. There had been no co-
habitation. On the 24th she went to the house of Mr.
Smith, solicitor and banker, at Hemel Hempstead, where
she at present remained. It was to Mr. Montague
Smith, sou of this Mr. Smith, that she was attached, and
in answer to something he said she then for the first
time mentioned her marriage, and afterwards made the
same communication to Mr. Smith, who came to town,
and it was not till he had gone to several churches that
he found out where the marriage took place. The
Learned Counsel then called the following witnesses,
whose examination, together with the Learned Counsel's
(Sir F. Kelly) address, occupied their Lordships two
days :
Miss Field was called and examined, and her evidence
corroborated the statement of the Learned Counsel, and
also repeated in the most positive terms that she bad
been forced into giving her consent to the marriage by
the threats and violence of Samuel Brown, one of those
threats being that he would not only do her much
bodily harm, but would do Mr. Montague Smith, to
whom she was attached, UR injury. Under these cir-
cumstances she consented to the marriage. It was also
stated that Samuel Brown had been prosecuted and con-
victed, and was at the present moment undergoing his
sentence of six months' imprisonment, for fraud in the

James Field examined by S. KELLY—I am bro-
ther to Esther Field, and I am now seventeen years old.
I have been at Harrow School, and since the death of
fmy
father have been under the care of Mr. John and Mrs.
Brown. At the house of that gentleman I always spent
my holidays, and my sister did the same. Mr. Samuel
Brown resided in the house. I had no knowledge of his
intentions towards my sister until he informed me of
their marriage, of which I did not approve. I used
sometimes to pay a visit to Mr. Smith, a solicitor at
Hemel Hempstead. lie was an old friend of my father's.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown always manifested a dislike to my
sister's visiting Mr. Smith's family, and of course I went
there the less uften in consequence. My sister and my-
self regarded Mr. and Mrs. Brown in the light of our
parents. Everything that was done for us was done by
Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and no other individual that we
knew of ever interfered in the management of ourselves
or of our affairs. I remained at Harrow till last June.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I have stopped
at Mr. Smith's during the holidays. I was once taken
to that gentleman's house by my father. There are
several young ladies, daughters of' Mr. Smith, and there
are three sons. Mr. J. Brown assigned as a reason to
ray sister and myself why be did not wish us to visit at
Mr. Smith's, that Mr. Alontaeue Smith bore a very bad
character. I have also heard it stated that one of the
Misses Smith had eloped, and had been followed, over-
taken, and brought home again by her mother. Mr.
Brown assigned as one reason why it was his wish that
we should not visit the Smiths, that one of the Misses
Smith had eloped.
Re-examined by Sir F. KELLY—The Browns did not
state as one reason for our not visiting the Smiths, that
it was their wish my sister should marry their brother,
Samuel Brown. As far as my own observation has gone
I have never seen the least impropriety of conduct in the
behaviour of Mr. Smith's family.
By the Earl of RADNOR—When the Browns first
objected to my sister visiting at Mr. Smith's they did
non assign any reason. The reason subsequently as-
signed was, that they were anxious she should riot meet
and associate with Mr. Montague Smith. That gentle-
mon is about thirty years of age, and is a solicitor in
Furnival's-inn, and it is his father who has the profes-
sional conduct of the present proceedings.
The parish clerk to Trinity District Church stated,
that he recollected Samuel Brown giving him instruc-
tions to publish the banns of marriage on the 23d of.
of May, the 30th of May, and the 6th of June last
yerr; and that on the 19th of that month he again saw
him, that being the day on which the ceremony was per-
formed. Samuel Brown described himself as of 31,
Wimpole-street, and Sarah Field, also of Wimpole-
street, spinster.
Cross-examined--Miss Field I saw on the morning
of the 19th of June. The young lady was
very firm,
and not at all nervous or agitated, as ladies usually are
on such occasions. It' there had been any appearance of
fear or disinclination to the marriage manifested by Miss
Field, and it had been noticed by the officiating clergy-
man, the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, that gentleman or myself
would have asked her questions upon the subject. After
the ceremony the parties went to my house and partook
of refreshment, which had been provided fur them, as I
heard. The witnesses to the marriage were my wife
and myself. That is by no means an unusual occurrence.
I had not known Samuel Brown before this.
The Rev. Mr. Hamilton examined by Sir J. BAYLEY
—I was the officiating minister on the occasion of this
marriage. I performed the ceremony.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I should read
out the entry which had previously been made by the
clerk on the register, and should ask each party as to
the correctness of entry; and if it had happened that
either party had given a different reply to that which
corroborated the entry, I should of course make an entry
accordingly. Supposing either of the parties had dis-
sented from the entry then, there would be a new
registry. I remember this particular marriage, because
within a week of its performance I had some inquiries
made of me in respect of it.
Mrs. Speller, the wife of the clerk at Trinity Church,
corroborated the evidence given by her husband.

Mr. Smith, a solicitor and banker at Hemel Hamp-
stead, said—l am not only the attesting witness to that
document, but I drew it. I had for many years been
the legal adviser of the testator, and his banker also.
He had very considerable property, 60,0001. at least,
invested principally in estates. I knew his father, who
was worth 80,000/. to 100,0001. The testator left the
principal part of his property between his two children,
Esther Field and her brother. A yearly income of
about 1,200/, each, besides the other property was left
them, and in the event of either dying without is-ue or
without having been married, the survivor took the
whole If Esther married, her property was to be
settled up on her for her own separate use. There was ,
a small personalty of about 5,0001., perhaps, arising
from savings out of the income. As the will did not
appoint any guardian, there was a bill filed in the Court
of Chancery in 1846 for that purpose; and when this
event occurred the business was still in progress, but
not completed. Up to this time the only persons who
had exercised any control over the children were Mr. end
Mrs. John Brown and Mr. Moore, who had succeeded
one of the original trustees who had died. I have five
daughters and three sons, one of whom is named Min
tague. I was not aware until Miss Field atter tail
affair mentioned it to me, that there was any attach-
ment between her and my son Montague, and than I
knew nothing more about it than what that young bdy
told me ; and even now I do not know that either of
them has made an offer of marriage to the other. Prior
w June, 1847, I had not seen Miss Field but once—and
that was in April—for probably two years, and or the
occasion in June she had come in compliance witl my
request, as I wanted to speak to her about the aploint-
want of her guardian. When she was at schod she
spent her holidays at Mr. Brown's. When she came to
my house on the 24th of June last year, she Uld me
what had occurred four days afterwards, and expressed
a wish, as she could not live with Samuel Browr, that if
it were possible the marriage should be put aside. In
-th
consequence of this I institutede necessary proceed-
ings and consulted counsel. One result of those pro-
ceedings was that Miss Field should be placed under the
care of my family, and in consequence of that order she
has remained in my house up to the present moment.
This was under the order of the Vice-Chancellor. My
eldest son is named Montague, and is now 29 years
of age. lie is a solicitor in Furnival's lon. Samuel
Brown was Prosecuted at the Central Criminal Court for
fraud in respect of the banns on the certificate of the
Attorney-General, upon the matter being referred to him
by the Vice-Chancellor. My son Montague ass not been
married, to the best of my knowledge.

culties in consequence of his Eton connexions.
By Lord RADNOR—Miss Field said she was married
to Samuel Brown, but that she wished t) get rid of it,
for she could not live with him. She also stated that
she had been intimidated into the marriage.
Mr. Steele, the medical attendant, stated that he had
seen Miss Field after her arrival at Mr. Smith's on the
24th of June, when he found her in a very nervous and
, excited state, so much so that he apprehended a fever

would follow.
Other witnesses having bean examined,
Mr. ROLT summed up the whole of tke evidence, and
the further consideration of the case was adjourned to
Thursday last. On that day
Mr. BALLANTINE rose to address their Lordships in
opposition to the second reading of the Lill for annulling
the marriage, on the behalf of the husind, Samuel S.
l3rowii, when
The Earl of DEVON intimated that their Lordships
would not trouble the Learned Counsel. There was no
occasion to do so, because, although h 3 had originally
come down to that House impressed in ftvour of the Bill,
still the effect of the evidence in chief, and that drawn
out by the able cross-examination of th 3 Learned Coun-
sel who appeared on behalf of the husband, had been to
satisfy him that the Bill ought not to be proceeded with,
inasmuch as it was not sustained by the evidence, in re-
spect of the allegations, that the consent of the young
lady had been forced and against her free will. In this
opinion he was supported by that of the Noble and
Learned Lord who usually occupied the woolsack, by
Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell,
with all of whom he had held consultations on the case.
He could not therefore move, as it had been his iaten-
tion, the second reading of the Bill.
The effect of this decision will of course be, mat the
marriage being thus declared a valid marriage, and with
the tree consent of the young lady, she will la 3 handed
over to her husband as soon as his period of imprison-
ment for the fraud has expired.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
GUILDHALL.
William Cqgly, a foreman in the emplor of Mr. Mid.
son, a stationer on Lambeth-hill, was sunmoned before
Alderman Huraphery, for assaulting am ill-using his
wile.
Mrs. Patience Cuflly, a respectably-tressed young
woman, said she was married to the prisuier on the 2d
of January last. On the second nighthe complained
that the bed was not made comfortable, ind at once got
up and drew her and the bed on to thefloor. He was
then in a state of intoxication. About urea weeks after
he shook her most violently, and left marks on both her
arms; and on another occasion he caught her by the
neck, and if it had not been for the itterference of his
brother she would have been strangleO. On the 2d of
June he came home at a very late hour in a beastly state
of intoxication, when he took her up aid flung her on the
stairs against the banisters, hurting h4r hip and back so
severely that she was unable to leave ler room for about
from
a fortnight. While so confined he rejeated his violence
by throwing various articles at her, toad she became so
alarmed that she took the first opporttnity of flying
her home to secrete herself. On one occasion he seized
a razor, and fearing he was going
tc take her life, she
fell on her knees and said, " Don't, William, I will not
leave you." He desisted, and went to her box and tried
to cut up her clothes, and afterwards to burn them.
The defendant denied using any threat, bat admitted
that he was very wrong in shoving her against the
banisters. He also said that his wife's statement re-
specting his conduct the night following their marriage
was untrue.
Mr. hey Hardy, a surgeon, and Mr. and Mrs. Tindall,
of Old Fish-street-hill, having deposed to the ill- treat-
ment the complainant had received from the time of their
snarl iage,
Alderman HUNPLIERY said it was very clear the de-
fendant was a most inhuman man, and he should hold
him to bail, himself in 1001. and two sureties
each, to keep the peace towards his vife and all her
Majesty's subjects for twelve months.
In default of bail ho was locked up.
CLERKEIV WELL.
A gentleman, named Barry, residing at Islington, was
summoned by an omnibus conductor fcr refusing to pay
his fare, 6d.
The complainant said he was the conductor of an
omnibus running between Islington and Chelsea. For
the whole distance the fare was ed.•' but from the
Regent's-circus, Piccadilly, to Tottenham court-road,
vehicle to that effect. The defendant got on the omnibus
at the Regent-circus and alighted at Islington, when he
refused to pay more than 3d.
The fare, 6d. was stuck up inside ; that was his fare.
-
was 3d., and a painted board was placed outside the
The fare for short distances was outside.
Defendant said it was a low cunning trick, to take
advantage and to intimidate ladies. The 3d. was on the,
board, without any qualification.
Mr. TYRWILITT said he must be guided by the Act
of Pat-dement. The law specifically stated that a table
of fives should be affixed inside of the omnibus, and if
they thought, proper to make fares for short distances,
they must also be placed inside.
The complaint was then dismissed.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Powell Dellerton, a young man who formerly
held a situation in the dead-letter department of the
General Post-office, was brought before Mr. Bingham,
fur final examination, charged with embezzlement. lie
was also charged with having deserted his wife, leaving
her chargeable to the parish of St. George, Hanover-
square.
It appeared from the evidence adduced on the last and.
present examination, that the prisoner had very cruelly
treated his wife, leaving her without the common neces—
saries of life, and abandoning her to her own resources.
It was, in consequence, her wish to be separated
from him.
Mr. l3leunam said he had been informed that the
persons from whom the prisoner had embezzled the
money, did not intend to press the charge against hire,.
He (Mr. Bingham), however, should not discharge hien
until he had conseited to enter into a deed of separation
with his wife, in order that she should not be distressed
again by his conduct.
The prisoner at once consented to this, and having
signed the necessary papers, was discharged.
Just as he was leaving the court, Mr. Green, from the
office of Mr. Hebb, solicitor, stepped forward, and servael
him with a copy of a writ for 2501.
Mr. Smith stated that since the case had been before
the public, he had received a sovereign from a gentle-
man for Mrs. Wellerton, which the donor begged might
be acknowledged through the medium of the public press.
Mrs. Wellerton said she was destitute of every means
of gaining a livelihood. She was exceedingly clever at
knitting fancy cloaks and other articles, and had she the
means of purchasing the materials she should soon by
her own exertions be placed in comparative comfort.
Mr. BINGHAM said he thought, it the case was made
public, some benevolent individuals might come forward
and assist her. He would give her a sovereign from the
pour-box as a beginning.
SOUTHWARK.
Thomas Craven, a medical student, was brought up
under the authority of a warrant, charged with the ab-
duction of Jessie Cabb, a girl of 14 years of age.
The girl's mother, a respectable woman, attended this
court the preceding day, and described the circum-
stances attending her daughter's absence from home ;
that on Monday afternoon she sent her to an aunt's in
the Hackney-road, on an errand, and that not returning,
inquiries were made, who it wag ascertained that she
