Marriage requires the fulfilment of several eonditioni, in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which mien; the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualification, and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injarions ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, ►ecomes, 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 consenuence 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 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
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy
♦ictim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the carves of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. 1/r.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diploma.,
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE

INTENDED CHARTIST
MEETING.

GOVERNMENT PROCLAMATION.
The following important announcement appeared
in a Fourth Edition of The Sun of last evening :
" NOTICE ! !
" Whereas the assemblage of large numbers of people,
• accompanied with circumstances tending to excite terror
and alarm in the minds of her Majesty's subjects, is
criminal and unlawful ;
" And whereas not only those persons who take an
active part in such assemblage, but these also who by
their presence wilfully countenance it, are acting con-
trary to law, and are liable to punishment; and whereas
an Act of Parliament, passed in the 13th year of the
reign of his late Majesty King Charles 11., intituled ' An
Act against tumults and disorders, upon
pretence of pre
paring or presenting public petitions or other addresses
to his Majesty in the Parliament,', it was enacted, thatno
person or persons whatsoever shall repair to his Majesty
or both or either of the Houses of Parliament, upon
pretence of presenting or delivering any Petition' com-
plaint, remonstrance, or declaration, or other addresses,
accompanied with excessive numbers of people, nor at
any one time with above the number of ten persons;
" And whereas a meeting has been called to assemble
on Monday next, the 10th inst., at Kennington-common
and it is announced in the printed notices calling
such meeting, that is intended by certain persons
to repair thence in procession to the House of Commons,
accompanied with excessive numbers of people, upon
pretence of presenting a petition to the Commons
House of Parliament ; and whereas information has
been received that persons have been advised to pro-
cure arms and weapons, with the purpose of carry-
ing the same in such procession ; and whereas such
proposed procession is calculated to excite terror and
alarm in the minds of her Majesty's subjects;
" All persons are hereby cautioned and strictly en-
joined not to attend, or take part in, or be present at,
any such assemblage or procession.
" And all well-disposed persons are hereby called upon
and required to aid in enforcing the provisions of the
law, and effectually to protect the public peace, and
suppress any attempt at the disturbance thereof.
(Signed) " C. ROWAN,
" R. MAYNE, -
"Commissioners of the Police of the Metropolis.
" Metropolitan Police-office, Whitehall-place,
April 6, 1848."
During a great portion of yesterday the Commis-
sioners of Police were engaged in receiving the captains
of the special constable force in each district of the
metropolis, and arranging with them the plan of actior
to be pursued should their services be required on Mon-
day next. An immense number of noblemen and gen-
tlemen were in attendance, and the utmost zeal was
shown by all for the maintenance of public order. The
Commissioners explained in clear and precise terms the
manner in which the special constables could best act,
in order to give effectual support to the authorities.
Many suggestions were made, and a good deal of alarm
was expressed that the special constables might
be drawn away from their own districts to some
distant point of the metropolis, thus leaving their fami-
lies and property defenceless. Mr. Mayne, however,
quieted this apprehension by stating that the inhabitants
who had been sworn in would only be required to protect
their own neighbourhoods, and to act, if required to do
so, in the absence of the police force, whose presence
might be necessary in some other part of the metropolis.
Their captains are to keep up a regular communication
with the nearest police-station, and as the great majority
of those selected for command are retired officers, or
gentlemen of approved judgment and determination,
there is every reason to believe that should the services
of the special constables be required, their services will
be as efficiently as we are sure they will be heartily
rendered.

their supporters, but the outlay upon them was not by
any means heavy.

bunch, in my opinion, *tll get a place, much less win.
Jericho, with the great weight of 9st up, will stick
Eamely to his work, but can hardly be expected to "tin,
although he may be placed.
Walmgate Bar will get on better here than he did at
Northampton ; the course will suit him.
Executor, Sagacity, Antagonist, and Pottinger—a
dangerous quartette of light weighted four-year-olds--
my pick of the lot would be Sagacity, who will, doubt-
less, be one of the first four at the finish. Maid of
Lyme and the Marquis of Conyngham too slow for the
company. I have a strong penchant for the three-
yoar-olds, and expect the winner will spring from that
division without Sagacity or Pottinger can do the trick.
Of this lot I consider Snuff- box, Cracow, Black Ball,
and Glen Saddel to be the best. Black Ball and Snuff-
box for choice.

To sum up I shall look to Jericho, as the representa-
tive of the top weights ; to Sagacity of the middle
weights, and to Black Ball of the light weights, with
Snuff• box for a coekboat. If required to place them it
would be in the following order :
Black Ball 1
Jericho ... ... ••• ... 2
Sagacity ... ... ... .•• a
The Two-year-old Stakes will bring together a very
respectable field of nine or ten, including Cashier,
Farthingale, Cheerful, filly by Cesar, and colt by
Epirus. Farthingale's easy victory at Northampton will
make her the favourite for this stake, and very probably
she will be the winner, with the Cesar filly second ; colt
by Epirus and Cheerful handy.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF
_

Thursday afternoon.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

An adaptation from the well-known French vaude-
ville, entitled Jarvis rhonneteHomme, was produced here
last evening with complete success, under the title of Old
Honesty. The hero, Michael Bradshaw (Mr. Webster),
a blunt, plain-spoken, hardworking bricklayer, has, from
his unswerving integrity, acquired the name of " Old
Honesty," a name which he richly merits. He has
given his son an excellent education, and the
son, who has the habits and feelings of a
gentleman, has been refused by the father of
a young lady, with whom he is anxious to contract an
alliance, and refused avowedly on the ground of his
origin and his poverty. This is a sad blow to honest
Michael, who soon atter, in working at the repairs of a
house, discovers a large amount of treasure, which had
been hidden. For the sake of his son he takes posses.
sion of this money, and the old
irritable,
is at once con-
verted into conscience-stricken, " guilty thing."
He has a daughter, and he discovers that, a man of
fashion has been attempting to seduce her, and
this same would-be seducer he also discovers is the
lawful owner of the found treasure. Michael seeks him,
and restoring to him the money, reproaches him with
his wicked attempts upon the virtue of his child. Over-
come by the " heartiness" of Old Honesty, the young
man gives the treasure to him, and asks his permission
to marry his daughter. She, however, rejects him for
an honest bricklayer, to whom she had been long en-
gaged. This successful lover is the " funny" man of
the pi. ce, and was admirably acted by Keeley. His great
penchant is for the study of the "History of England,"
and a most comic history he makes of it, to the great
delight and relief of the audience. The son of Old
Honesty, now that the objection on the score of his
poverty is removed, obtains, et course, the hand of his
lady love, and all ends happily. The acting of Mr.
Webster in the part of Michael Bradshaw was full of
intense power. No one on the stage can approach
. ebster in the delineation of such characters as these,
and his Michael .Bradshaw is one of his most suc-
cessful efforts. He last night proved himself not
merely an accomplished artiste, but a great actor.
His making up, too, was admirable. Mrs. Glover, as Mrs.
Bradshaw,who, having discovered her husband's treasure,
and appropriated a small portion of it to the purchase of
finery, was excellent, and Miss Reynolds, as the daugh-
ter, made much of a small part. The piece was an-
nounced for repetition by Webster, amidst the unani-
mous applause of a crowded house.

THE CHARTIST MEETING ON MONDAY.—The most
energetic measures are being taken by the Government
to preserve peace and quietness on Monday next.
Several regiments, stationed in various parts of the
country, have been ordered to London, where most of
them will arrive in the course of to-day (Friday) and to-
morrow. The Royal Horse (Blue) will march at six
o'clock to-morrow morning from the cavalry barracks at
Spital, near Windsor, under the command of Colonel
Bony( rie, for the metropolis. They will be stationed at
Knightsbridge and Regent's-park barracks. Each man
is to have served out to him 40 rounds of ball cartridge.
The future destination of this regiment is expected to be
either Manchester or Nottingham; but this will depend
entirely upon circumstances. The second battalion of
the Coldstream Guards, stationed at Windsor, has also
received orders to proceed to London. Two companies
will leave the infantry barracks at Windsor this after-
noon, by railway, from Slough, for Brompton barracks;
and the remaining division will arrive to-morrow at
Kensington. It is expected that the Coldstream Guards
will march on an early day in the ensuing week for
Ireland. This regiment will be relieved at Windsor by
the 62d Regiment, recently returned from India. The
62d, which has been stationed at Winchester since its
return to England, will march in two divisions; the first
will reach Windsor this afternoon, and the second to-
morrow. We understand that artillery will be stationed
on Monday on both Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges.
It is also stated that rockets and other munitions of war
will be supplied to this arm of the service. There
appears to be no doubt that the most extensive and
determined preparations will be made by the Executive
to put down, at the first symptom, any outbreak which
may be attempted en the part of the mob.
RESIGNATION OF MR. ALDERMAN HUGHES
HUGHES.—We understand that W. Hughes Hughes,
Esq., has sent in his resignation of the office of alder-
man for Bread-street Ward (to which he was elected in
1843) to the Lord Mayor, which resignation his Lord-
ship will officially announce at the next meeting of the
Court of Aldermen. Mr. Lawrence, the extensive
builder at Hoxton, and who also has business premises
situated within the Ward, is the only candidate at pre-
sent announced for the vacant aldermanic gown.
THE DUKE AND DUCHESS DE MONTFENSIER.—The
French Provisional Government is said to have received
a telegraphic dispatch, announcing the arrival of the
Duke and Duchess de Montpensier, at St. Sebastian, on
the 2d.
ATTORNEYS IN GOWNS.—Yesterday, in the City
Small Debts Court, no little surprise was evinced at
some of the attorneys entering the Court in black gowns,
which, it is said, they are entitled to wear. The High
One also
wore the white bands similar to a barrister. e
Bailiff also wore a gown for the first time. No order,
however, had been giten for that purpose.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL .INEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
heavy. Sales 4,000 bales. Good ord. and mid. bowed
Mobile was id. per lb, lower. There were 3,000 bales
of American sold at 4id. to 6d. per lb. In Railway
Shares there was more business done, and prices were
still on the decline.
There appears to be nothing of prominent interest in
the accounts from the Continent, it we except the infor-
mation that troubles had broken out at Dunkirk during
which the house of the Belgian Consul was pillaged, and
the manufactory of Emile de Bromvere, of Ostend, wus
burned.
The anxiety concerning the preservation of the public
peace seems to be relieved to-day in some measure,
and Continental matters now again excite more promi.
nent attention. Still trade suffers by the agitation.
From official returns to hand this morning, we learn
that the amount paid into the Savings' Banks of the
United Kingdom by depositors was, in the year 1846,
6,908,5091., viz., 5,188,8951. in England ; 1,071,1831.
in Ireland ; 520,6171. in Scotland ; and the
rest in Wales. In 1847 there was a great
falling off, the total being 6,058,4541., of which
4,750,845/. was in England, 736,472/. in Ireland, and
455,3121. in Scotland. The amounts withdrawn in
1846 were above 61 millions sterling, and in 1847
nearly 9 millions sterling. This tells a tale of priva-
tion and strugeles among the more industrious classes.
The Corn Market to-day is very dull for most articles,
and the arrivals are good.
The English Funds, although still flat, are a little
steadier than they were yesterday, Consols being 80/1 to il. '

MARKET NEW DAY.)

CORNEXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.
Notwithstanding the arrivals of English Wheat, coast-
wise and by land carriage, have been on a very moderate
scale, the supply on offer to-day exceeded the wants of
the dealers; hence the demand for all descriptions was
in a very inactive state, and in some instances the prices
were is per quarter lower than on Monday. The best
Foreign Wheats were held at full currencies; but the
middling and inferior kinds were easier to purchase. All
kinds of Barley were very dull, and some of the holders
were eager sellers at is per quarter less money. We had
a very slow inquiry for Malt, and where sales were
was accepted.

The supply of Bea sts un le, in to-day's market was
very moderate, and of middling quality. Although the
attendance of buyers wus by no means large, the Beef
trade was steady, and, in some instances, the quotations
of the pritnest Scots advanced 2d per Blbs—the value
of all other breeds being well supported. The number
of foreign Beasts and Calves was good ; that of Sheep
limited. With English Sheep we were very scantily
supplied, owing to which, and the favourable change in
the weather, the demand fur that description of stock was
somewhat active at an improvement in prices of 2d per
Sibs—the best old Downs producing 5s 6d per 81bs.
Calves moved off readily, at 2d per 8 lbs. more money.
In Pigs a moderate business was doing at late rates.
Mitch Cows were dull, at front 16/. to 181. each, including
their small Calf.

-PEcIE FROM IRELAND. —The vessel Prensischer
Adler, arrived in the River Thames from Cork, has
brought as a portion of her cargo ten boxes of specie.
This is the second arrival of specie to a similar extent
within a few days from Cork, and we, therefore, make
especial mention of it, as being particularly remarkable
and of very unusual._occurrence.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE HAGGEBSTON GAS
WORRS.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Baker held an in-
quest at the Duke of Wellington, Brunswick-street,
Hackney-road, on the body of William Harrill, an exca-
vator, employed at the Imperial Gas-works, Haggerston.
From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was,
with several other workmen, engaged yesterday morning
in excavating for the reception of a new gasometer on a
piece of ground attached to the premises of the above
company, when a piece of ground, of a blue, clayey na-
ture, and which bad been prepared for undermining,
suddenly gave way, and, although the deceased was
called to by his fellow labourers, the mass of earth,
consistirg of upwards of four tons, fell upon him before
he had time to get out of the way. The handle of the
pick-axe with which he had been working had entereel
his chest, his back was broken, and both of his legs were
dreadfully fractured. Verdict—" Accidental death."

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AND BURGLARY.—HUNGER.
FORD, APRIL 3.—On Sunday morning last the premises
of Mr. William Burt, landlord of the Bear Inn, in this
town, was broken open by some thief or thieves, and a
considerable amount of property stolen therefrom. The
robbery must have been perpetrated after twelve o'clock
at night, as the family did not retire to rest until after
that hour on Sunday morning. Suspicion rests upon
two well-dressed strangers who were noticed in the town
on Saturday, and who, it has since been discovered,
came down by the Great Western Railway branch, now
open to Hungerford, on that day, returning by the first
rain front thence ou Sunday waning.

EASTER RECESS.
Lord STANLEY wished to know from her Majesty's
overnment at what period they intended to propose the
adjournment of the House for the Easter recess, and for
what duration ; he also wished to know whether, sup-
posing the Jewish Disabilities Bill came up from the
House of Commons before Easter, it was their intention
to proceed with that measure before the Easter recess?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not see any
reason, at present, why the usual course should not be
adopted, of moving the adjournment of the House on
Tuesday in Passion Week, till the Tuesday week
following, nor did he see any reason why the measures
alluded to by the Noble Lord should interfere with the
adoption of the usual course.
PROPERTY TAX BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then rose to move the
second reading of the Property-tax Bill. The Noble
Marquis went at some length into the provisions of the
Bill and the exigencies of the State that required the
The
of the property-tax for three years.
ordinary revenue of the country, according to the
estimates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, would
this year be below the demand upon it, and it was to
compensate the deficiency that it was proposed to con-
tinue this tax for three years longer. It had been said
that that deficiency might be obviated by a reduction of
expenditure, but it should be remembered that by far the
larger proportion of the revenue of the country was
pledged to the public creditors and it was only on the
smaller portion that any economy could be practised.
The total amount of interest on the funded and unfunded
debt was, in the present year, 31,280,6001. As regarded
that sum, Parliament had no option. Now he would
state the sums in which they bad something like an
option. The estimate for the navy was 7,776,6011., for
the army 7,162,9961., and for the ordnance 2,924,8391,
making a total tor military purposes of 17,864,4351.
In stating that, he was sure he had used no
argument to induce them to agree to that
amount. Those estimates were the same as those
of last year, except in two particulars, and he did not
think that that was a moment when they could safely
reduce their military forces. There were, in addition,
other items of expenditure amounting to 4,006,0001.,
making a total of 53,140,0001. to be provided for. He
would now st.te the items of income. The Customs' du-
ties would, it was estimated, produce 19,7e0,000/., and
the Excise 13,000,000/. These estimates were lower
than the actual amount produced by those branches ef
revenue last year, the total estimates for 1848 being only
32,750,000/., while the revenue in 1847 was 35,044,0001.
The duties on stage-carriages were estimated at
500,000 L; stamp duties, 7,200,0001.; assessed taxes,
4,340,0001.; and Post. office, 900,0001.; making a total of
46,050,0001. That was the whole ordinary revenue of
the country, and, under these circumstances, it was ne-
cessary to impose some additional tax to make up the
deficiency, amounting to upwards of 7,000,0001. Indi-
rect taxation was, doubtless, the best mode of raising
the revenue, but there were limits to it, and, in the
present instance, it
.had been deemed advisable to
recommend the continuance of the property-tax
for three years. The produce of this tax would
make the estimated revenue 51,250,0001., still
leaving a deficit of 1,750,000/., which would, however,
be met from the balances in the Exchequer, now very
large. There was one item of expense in the estimates
for the present year, however, which would not again
occur, namely, a sum of 1,100,0001. for the expenses of
the Kafir war, which had been happily terminated by
the energy and skill of the present Governor of the
Cape of Good Hope. He next felt happy to inform their
Lordships that there has been, for the last three years,
a balance of from 5,500.0001. to 6,500,0001. in the funds
of the Exchequer, which can be drawn on at any time,
whenever a deficiency in the income of the country
occurs, and he thought that there was a great advantage
in having such a balance in the hands of the Exchequer,
to meet such exigencies as the present times demand.
He should also add, that the events in other countries
fully justified the Government in protecting the security
of the Crown, and the peace and safety of the people.
He should, therefore, in conclusion, say that, considering
the great utility of such a measure, he hoped that
their Lordships would join with him in supporting the
second reading of the Bill,
Lord STANLEY said that he did not think it neces-
sary to trouble their Lordships by following the different
arguments of the Noble Marquis (Marquis of Lans-
downe), because ho fully concurred with them. He con-
sidered that it was very judicious to place this country
in a state of defence for the security of the Crown and
the safety of the British subjects. He should at the same
time say that he fully approved of the opposition offered
by the House of Commons to the intended augmentation
in the income-tax, because such would lend it rather an
inquisitorial eharacter, which should be guarded against
by every possible means, and he was assured that the
expenditure of next year would not be more than the
revenue. Notwithstanding his approval of the jealousy
evinced by the public and the House of Commons on
that point, he at the same time also approved of the
judicious regulation of the Government to keep at all
times in their hands a balance sufficient to make up for
any deficiency that might occur. He did not consider
that the sum of 1,100,0001., expended in carrying on the
Kafir war, should be attributed to one year, because the
same had been spread over two years, and he regretted
that Sir Peregrine Maitland, who served so honourably
in the Cape of Good Hope, should, through some
unfounded information to the Government, have
suffered so much both in his personal feelings and
pecuniary interests through such an information.
He should also say that, considering the events of other
countries, that nothing was more judicious on the part
of the Government than to keep up, and increase, if'
necessary, the naval and military service of this coun-
try. And be felt perfectly convinced that Government
could not reduce the taxation as had been suggested
by many Member of the House of Commons, but
there was cne specific method of effecting that, namely,
by an indirect taxation, for a direct taxation is not
needed in any free country such as this,. except in the
dangers, difficulties, and emergencies of war.—(Hear,
hear.) He knew the feelings of the people on this sys-
tem of direct taxation, and could assure the House that
the country did not consider it a temporary, but a per-
manent, measure, and as one dangerous to their best
In • terests. He was willing to give his support to
.the
second reading of the Bill, but should at the same time
enter his protest against any system of direct taxation.
He hoped that, when this country would recover from
the paralysis under which she at present labours, Go-
vernment would retrace the steps they have taken re-
specting direct taxation, and so alter their present sys-
tem as to raise by the indirect mode as much as is re-
quired, because such a system as direct taxation is
obnoxious to their interests, and injurious to the well-
being of the constitution.(Hear.)
Earl GREY said that he would wish to say one word
in reference to the expressions used by the Noble Lord
(Lord Stanley) relative to Sir Peregrine Maitland. He
could assure the Noble Lord and the House that he had
always respected the character of Sir P. Maitland, both
as a soldier and as aj servant of her Majesty; but he
should at the same time say that, if a more firm and de-
cisive rule of control were observed by Sir P. Maitland,
the expenses would be much less, and that opinion was
strengthened by the information of many authentic wit-
nesses. In a word, he believed that he was liable to the
charge of many errors.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord LYTTELTON said that he felt fully convinced
that the information received by the Government was
of a prejudiced nature against Sir P. Maitland, and that
his conduct was always worthy the esteem of his brother
officers.
The House then adjourned.
