NI 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 em-
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 troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, a►e the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice deraand that health sheuld form au 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. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by 'post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
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
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other

Kittle publications claim your attention (same price is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
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 tke maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would De done unto—to live alter nature's laws—and to keep always

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter of the 18th, quoted by the Breslau
Gazette, says :—" The accounts from Inspruck as to
the health of the EMPEROR are alarming. His
MAJESTY appears to be suffering greatly."
A letter from Inspruck of the 12th, in the Augsburg
Gazette of the 18th, says :—" A courier has arrived
from London, with dispatches for Lord PONSONBY.
Lord PALMERSTON notices the choice of the Archduke
JonN as Vicar-General of the Empire, and advises
an arrangement with CHARLES ALBERT. Lord PAL-
MERSTON congratulates Austria on the choice of the
Archduke JOHN, but approves of Lord PONSONBY'S
having followed the EMPEROR."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
TERMINATION OF THE ARMISTICE.
The Gazelle steamer, which arrived at Hull yes.
terday morning, brings intelligence from Hamburgh
to Wednesday last. We extract the following from
the Hambnrgh Borsenhalle :
" COPENHAGEN, JULY 17.—A number of troops have
just left partly by sea and partly by land, to join the
army, and 10,000 man, whose service had expired, are to
be called out.
" It is not known what decision General Wrangel has
come to on the subject of the armistice, but it is reported
to be broken off, and that the transports lying tht,re
ready for sea were not employed for the transit of our
own troops, as they are intended to fetch the Swedes
and Norwegians from Schonen. There is no doubt en-
tertained but that the Swedes who were in Fuhnen
would have entered Jutland if invaded by General
Wrangel.
" We are satisfied that our army will probably be en-
gaged, a:Ai ilupe to have the ussit.:nce c.i Er.g,;.4llii
Sweden, as we have consented to abide by the armistice
proposed by those countries."

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter of the 18th says—" The Committee
on the Constitution has resolved, but by a majority
of one vote only, that the KING shall have only a
suspensive and not an absolute veto in the new Con-
stitution. The eagerness to subscribe to the volun-
tary loan is very great. Yesterday subscriptions to
the amount of 300,000 thalers were made. It is
thought that the period of August (10th) fixed for
the forced loan may be postponed. The bank has re-
paid the State 3,000,000 thalers it had advanced.
Yesterday there were some important deliberations at
the Ministry of Commerce on the measures to be
adopted with regard to France; principally on the
raising of the premiums on the exportation of cotton,
silk, linens, &c. The result is not yet known. The
iron gates of the Palace were this morning replaced.
As early as four o'clock, a great number of the
burgher guards were posted round the Palace. Up
to this hour, four in the afternoon, all has remained
tranquil."
The Prussian State Anzeiger of the 20th an-
nounces that the Provisional Central Government of
Germany has addressed a communication to all the
German States, stating that the Regent of the Empire
has nominated the responsible Ministry, and that the
authority delegated to the Provisional Central Power
by the law of the 28th of March, 1848, had com-
menced. In this communication the Central Power
states that, in carrying out its lawful authority, it
confidently expects the co-operation of the German
Governments.

MONA CO.

The inhabitants of the little principality of Monaco
have addressed a protest, signed by the number of
370, against an address, sent in by a deputation at
Turin, in favour of a Junction of Monaco to the
kingdom of Sardinia. The protest declares that the
said address was signed by 100 members and agents
of the insurrectional Government of Menton, by 213
women and children, and by about 200 other persons
of the lowest classes, bought over by money. In
consequence, the principal inhabitants of Monaco and
Menton, being actuated by sentiments of the warmest
attachment to their sovereign, deem it necessary to
protest against the tenor of the said address.

FRANKFORT.
In its sitting of the 19th, the German Parliament
decided that the union of the Duchy of Limburg,
which forms part of the Germanic Confederation, to
the kingdom of the Netherlands under one constitu-
tion and administration, is incompatible with the
Federal German Constitution; that pursuant to:a
previous resolution of the Assembly the dispositions
of different German Constitutions which do not
accord with the general constitution, cannot be con-
sidered valid ; and that the question concerning the
obligation of the Duchy of Limburg to bear a por-
tion of the Dutch debt should be referred to the cen-
tral Provisional Government, which should be charged
to settle it, was to preserve the rights of Limburg,
the National Assembly reserving the ratification of
the definitive arrangement to itself. An additional
resolution was adopted, to the effect that the Central
Provisional Government should be invited to take
efficacious measures for immediately carrying the
resolutions into effect.

CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT IN LIVER-
POOL.

In consequence of information to the effect that
8,000 men; sympathisers with the Irish Repealers,
were armed in Liverpool, waiting for the opportunity
of a rising in Ireland, to burn and destroy all they
could, the Mayor, Magistrates, Aldermen, and
Councillors of the sixteen wards issued circulars, of
which the following is a copy, to all the respectable
and peaceable inhabitants :
" Liverpool, July 22, 1848.
" Sir,—We earnestly beg of you to attend a meeting
of some of the inhabitants of this ward this day at the
Adelphi Hotel, at half-past seven o'clock precisely.
" Considerations of no ordinary importance oblige us
to urge your attendance, which, be assured, we
should not venture to do so strongly, were it not a
matter of imperative necessity, a necessity the magis-
trates are now acting upon, and which they expect us
and you to aid them in preparing for."
In obedience to the wish conveyed in the circular,
meetings of a most satisfactory character took place,
and every possible preparation was made for any
emergency which might arise. A large number of
troops have arrived in Liverpool, and were to be
seen in every direction on Saturday.

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA

The Preussische Staats Anzeiger publishes an ex-
tract from a letter, dated Bucharest, the 16th inst.,
stating that the Russian Consul, KOTZEBUE, of Fock-
shani, has addressed a threatening letter to the Me-
tropolitan, announcing the march of the Russian
troops into Wallachia, and strongly dwelling on the
misfortunes to which the country would be exposed,
unless a stop were at once put to the innovations now
going on, and unless Prince BinEsco were recalled
to the government. The prevailing opinion is, that
this letter will produce no effect, for the Metropolitan
is completely in the hands of the Provisional Govern-
ment, who rely on their army of 300 men. The
Commissioners who have been sent to spread the in-
surrections in the different districts have in a few
places met with resistance. Bucharest i 3 quiet, though
several members of the Provisional Government have
thought proper to leave the town.

The Prussian Moniteur has the following from
Jassy, dated the 10th :—" At seven o'clock this
evening, the Russian troops., consisting of 4,000
infantry, a squadron of Cossacks, and two batteries
of artillery, entered the camp prepared for them on
the Copo, a height near Jassy. General DUKAMEL
is commander-in-chief, and Colonel WRANGLE is at
the head of the infantry."

PRUSSIA.

The Archbishop of COLOGNE and M. CAMPIIAUSEN
have been elected to the National Prussian Diet for
Cologne.
There have been some disturbances durin the g
last few days at Dusseldorf, occasioned by ill-feeling
between the military and the people. On the evening
of the 6th the rioting assumed a very serious appear-
ance. One of the citizens was insulted by a soldier;
some of his neighbours came to his assistance, and
the soldiers retreated and returned with a large party
of the 13th Infantry, and proceeded to clear the
streets of the citizens. The citizen guard fortunately
arrived upon the spot in time to prevent both parties
proceeding to extremities. The Rifles, who are also
stationed in that town, have been manifesting their
dislike to the new movement in Germany by tearing
down the national cockade, and wearing the black
and white cockade (the Prussian colours) themselves.
On the following evening some of these soldiers made
their appearance at the Hof Gardens, a public prome-
nade, and got up a quarrel with the people, in which
several of the townsfolk were wounded by sabre cuts.
The generale was beaten, and the quarrel was with
some difficulty put an end to. The citizens have
insisted that these troops shall be removed from
Dusseldorf, and the Commandant has undertaken to
forward their remonstrance to the Minister at War.
The recent news from Treves continues to be of a
pacific character ; but the soldiers have been, in many
iwnsiltlaanrceeslong
,maltreated by the peasantry of therit:resn
dispatchedsur-
rounding districts.
A letter from Berlin of the 6th states that hopes
may now be entertained that the uncalled for and un-

On the 29th of April, 4,800 Austrians, with seven
pieces of artillery, passed the Tagliamento, and
posted themselves on the bridge of Rieduna. On the
29th these troops moved towards Saule. On the
same day there were 5,000 Austrians at Palmanova,
2,000 at Udine, 1,000 at Osoppo, and 4,000 between
Udine and Osoppo.
Swiss volunteers, to the number of 250, from the
cantons of Vaud and St. Gall, have set out to join the
Italians under the command of the son of the Federal
Colonel RILLIET, who played an important part in the
last civil war of Switzerland.

" Williams and Moult," Chitty on contract, page 9, it
which it was held that where a schoolmaster brought
an nciion on an agreement founded on a prospectus de.
livered, the identical prospectus must be produced, but
it must have been previously stamped. He therefore
submitted that no secondary evidence could be admitted.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that he would take
a note of the objection, but he did not think he ought
to stop the cue.
The Learned COUNSEL said that, although after such
a lapse of time, he felt justified in taking every technical
objection, yet he had a good defence, and he would
prove by a witness that when defendant's wife went to
plaintiff with the boy, she told him that the boy did not
enjoy a very good state of health, and that, -therefore,
she could not agree to give a quarter's notice, and that
the plaintiff agreed to forego that part of the prospectus•
A Miss Ellis was called to support this statement.
The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up and said, that where-
there were written agreements it required very strong
evidence to rebut it, and if the last witness was to bot
depended on, it was strong in this case, and, is feet,
there could be no doubt.
The jury gave a ♦erdict for the defendant.

SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the sth have arrived. The Gaceta •
publishes two decrees for the regulation of financial
matters. The first orders the creation of 100 ,
millions of Treasury Bills, in series of 1,000, 5,000,
10,000, and 20,000 reals each, bearing 6 per cent.
interest, and to be paid off by instalments on October
1 next, February 1, June 1, and October 1, 1849.
These bills, which are issued under the authorisation
of the Cortes, empowering the Government to raise
200 millions of reals, are to be receivable at par for
the payment of national property and for deposits and
securities required by the Government, and all those
that are not paici off by the Ist of October, 1849, are
to be receivable at par for all taxes and contributions.
They are to be bid for by public auction, and if not
taken are to be handed over to the bank to dispose of
on account of the Government. This decree is coun-
tersigned by Senor BELTRAN DE Lis, and dated the
Ist instant.
The second decree, countersigned as above, and
dated the 4th instant, is as follows :
Art. 1. The notes of the Bank of San Fernando
shall be received as cash in payment of duties in all the
custom-houses of the kingdom.
" Art. 2. They shall be received in the same manner
in payment of the 100,000,000 of Treasury bills, which,
with reference to the decree of the Ist instant, and the
accompanying conditions, are to be put up to public
competition in all the capitals of provinces on the 20th
of the same month.
" Art. 3. The Finance Minister shall adopt the mea-
sures of precaution and security which he may judge
convenient for the execution of the above decree."
It was rumoured in Madrid, that in consequence of
a dispute between NARVAEZ and MIRAFLORES, there
would be a change in the Ministry.

The person alluded to is a young man named Haylock. of Asbdon,
near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac-
countable means. lie purchased of me several different popular pre-
parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect-
ing the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle

You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to,

nounced their readiness to negotiate upon equitable
terms. In consequence of this Lord WESTMORLAND
and Mr. DE MYENDORF had a lengthened interview
on the 4th instant with the Prussian Minister for
Foreign Affairs upon this subject, and as the good
offices of their respective Governments as mediators
had at length been accepted, they proceeded to dis-
cuss the basis of the projected negotiation.
The general details have not transpired, but as re-
gards the territorial question, it is asserted that Den-
mark will acknowledge the nexus socialis, the social
link—the battle horse of the Germanic Diet; and
whilst she retains sovereign possession of the duchies,
she will admit the claims of the Confederation to the
twin allegiance and servitude of Schleswig and Hol-
stein, as has been the case with the latter since 1815.
The intricate question of succession to the duchies
will probably be settled at the same time, and thus
put an end to complications that have perplexed
statesmen, diplomatists, jurisconsults, historians, and
geographers, from the year 1460 down to the present
hour.

Meanwhile orders have been issued to the Confe-
derate troops to halt at bolding, in Jutland ; and it
is probable also, if the armistice be concluded, that ale
Danes will suspend the enforcement of the Elbe
blockade, announced to commence on the 10th.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.

NEW YORE, APRIL 24 .—The Stock Market opened
heavy to-day, showing the effect of the European ad-
vices by the Acadia. Treasury notes and most of the
fancies fell off a fraction, and the tendency at the close
was downward. The advance in United States Go-
vernment Securities on the other side, and the demand
for them for investment, are looked upon here as favour-
able, and indicative of a further improvement in prices.
United States Sixes were quoted in London, on the 6th
of April, at 98 per sent., €qual to 106 to 108 per cent.
here. •

No bills have been returned fr2m France, nor have the
Government extenOed the perild of those running to
maturity beyond tht 15th, the day that was previously
'fixed. It appears that no bills, although falling due
before that day, ca❑ he protested, consequently cannot
be sent back. It is supposed that many bills that it was
feared would be returned will be ultimately paid.
The news from Europe had no influence on the prices
of bread stuffs. All the flour here will be wanted for
domestic use before receipts arrive by the canal. The
accounts of the cotton market are unfavourable, and
sales were suspended here to day. The impression is
that sellers will have to make a concession.

Ashes—There have been no transactions to-day wor-
thy of notice.

Flour—The advices from Europe are considered unfi.
vourable. The present stock on hand is only sufficie.t
for consumption, and prices stand as they did on Satur-
day.
Grain—There is no change in prices, and but little
doing to day. The news is untavourable for corn ;
holders, however, demand 52c. to 54c. for Jersey and
Northern. Sales of 25,000 New Orlfans, not sound, at
51c. Last sales of wheat (Genessee) at 1 dol. 40c.

HUNGARY.

A communication from Szents ➢lieklos of the 27th
of April contains fearful accounts of the cruelties
committed at Barote. The Illyrians and Croatians
revolted the same day at Kikinda. They repaired in
great numbers to the district Stadthaus, released 110
men under arrest, and then went to the Roman
Catholic church, where they pillaged and destroyed
everything. Thence they went to a former assessor,
who fled and endeavoured to conceal himself
with property to the amount of 60,000 florins.
He was discovered, and though he offered to
deliver up all that he had if they would spare
his life, they cut off his head, stuck it on a pole,
and caused his dead body to be dragged through
the city fastened to a horse's tail. They then
went to the present assessor, and while he was
attempting to effect his escape they shot him dead
upon the spot. Magazines and houses were entered
and plundered. Everything was destroyed. Beds
and furniture were thrown into the streets, and the
city treasury, together with the documents, were
destroyed by fire. Fifty hussars who were in the
Stadthaus fired upon them, and did their utmost to
stop the mischief, but they were too few in number.
The rebels were furnished with long poles, to the
ends of which scythes were attached, and with these
they attacked the military. The riding-master had
his right arm cut off, and Lieutenant Count ZICHY
had a scythe run through his body, and two
privates were killed and many disarmed. The revolt
commenced at Nansutz, where the Hungarian flag
was destroyed, and a red one hoisted in its stead.
Emissaries from Serna are said to have instigated the
revolt. Many families fled thence during the night,
and after daybreak persons were not permitted to
leave or enter the city. On Tuesday, however, chil-
dren were allowed to leave in carriages, and children
of only eight and ten years had to act as drivers. The
city has been encompassed, and the neighbouring ten
villages belonging to the district have been called in
to the aid of the rebels. The military and ten cannon
are expected to-day. The rebels entered every wine-
cellar, and partook so freely of the brandy and wine
' that they were quite infuriated.
