t. One half the world are desolately single, and the other

supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
=wise of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.ltter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret nu-
co,nprosing hurry ; but ' the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
And broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happin
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage
Cement. Honour and Justice demand that health should form en I'
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
tt F. MOMS 'On Single and Married Life, " pup. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by lost, In stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let' no imaginatively
canned, 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
'ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
late 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
damplilets, 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—te live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
>it the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
iherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet•street ; Mann,
iii, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand; or direct (by post or other-
wi.4e) from the anther (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and svenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street ; and all

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO 7'l REE
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm. Prices were well supported. Sales 6,000 bales.
American realised 31d. to 50. per lb. Railway Shares
were brisker, and a considerable business was done.
The mercantile accounts in the Continental papers
exhibit in a few instances sotne improvement, but the
highest rate of exchange on London, 13-71, had not
been maintained at Hamburgh a decline having oc-
curred to 13e61. It had been announced that a sus-
pension of hos.iiities had been agreed upon betiveen
Denmark and Germany. to last three m"nths, which, if
correct, would amount almost to a termination of the.war.
The feeling that exists must be very pacific to allow of
such au arrangement, and the opinion in the City seems
to be that peace will coon be ' concluded. An impulse
would there s .** to the 'Baltic trade, but British
shippi s test now by the seizure of foreign
c s sr manufa6turers buffer.
,i" is a d market for Grain to-day, the supply of
roan being Is ger.
We stated latqy that Messrs. Robinow, Sons, and Co.,
Hamburght
,tted unexpectedly been forced to suspend
payment; which we are glad to Understand will.only be
temporary; and it gives us much pleasure to state that
their Scotch houses are not affected by this circumstance,
and that their firms in Glasgow and Leith continue busi-
ness without interruption,
Yesterday afternoon the creditors of Mr. G. T. Braine
met to receive a statement of his affairs, which upon the
whole proved very satisfactory to the influential parties
who are creditors. Allowing for centingens
cies, and for the serious losses by failures
at Calcutta, there is an expectation that Mr.
Braine will have a handsome surplus. After
recent experience, and especially the sad disappointment
in reference to all the great houses which stopped last
year, the less we say upon this point, perhaps, the better;
but it is to be specially noted, that although the liabili-
ties are put down at 226,412 L, exclusive of 110,9261. of
acceptances stated to be secured, and the assets at
411,3491., inclusive of every sum due to Mr. Braine, the
Bank of England declined to render the assistance needed
eel carry the House through its difficulties, and this too,
even" with the offer of guarantee'. The inference we
draw is this. Either the Bank is not sanguine of the
realization of 20s. in the pound, or it declines upon
principle; probably from the determination not to en-
courage leviathan houses *to look up to it for wholesale
support, the advances made to some firms, as well as to
a great company, not having resulted favourably.
There has been a fuller supply of Money Stock to-
day, and prices are receding a little. The temporary
reaction was to be expected after such an important
rise, Consols being 88i to jwith the dividend. They have
fluctuated this morning, ex-dividend from 87i to 86i,
both for present transfer and account. The favourable
news from Denmark would have caused an improve-
ment, but that the speculators have already
