Marriage 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
' be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
it
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, 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 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 subject.
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
victim 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 fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
trequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
r beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking

been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

[ADVERTISEDIENT.]—A Speedy and Effectual Cure
of a severely bruised Ankle, by Holloway's Ointment.—
Extract of a letter from Mr. H. Watkinson, of the Spald-
ing Free Press, dated February 19, 1848:—" To Pro-
fessor Holloway. Sir,—A youth in our employ knocked
his ankle o severely, that the most dangerous symptoms
were brought on, thereby rendering him totally unable
to walk or attend to his duties; many preparations were
applied, but all to no effect; at last he had recourse to
your invaluable Ointment, when, by the use of a single
pot his ankle NI as perfectly cured, and the boy became
as active in walking and working as he was before the
disaster." Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol-

MR. CHARLES COCHRANE, THE
REJECTED OP WESTMINSTER.
rom the Weekly Dispatch.)
A Jury has decided that The Sun newspaper has
damaged the fair character of Mr. Charles Cochrane,
the rejected of Westminster, and, moreover, has
estimated the injury he has sustained at forty
shillings. We declare, solemnly, that if we had a
character worth only forty shillings, _that we should
thank Mr. Young, or the proprietor of any other
journal, to take it away, and thus give us the chance
of getting another and a better. Sir F. Thesiger
did not attempt to deny that Mr. Cochrane had
travelled through the counties of Kent and Sussex
as a wandering minstrel—that in that character,
he had insinuated himself into the houses of many
follies, by whom he had been hospitably entertained,
and that he had written a book in which he exposed
many things offensive to persons who bad relieved
him under a belief that he was a Spanish exile I
These things were not denied, but were attributed to
a "youthful freak." It was, however, hinted in one
of the four letters complained of, that hehad collected
money for the relief of the Spanish; iefugeesf and
had not handed it over to the proper fupd. The letter
in question, however, did not contain aklirect charge ;
it dealt hypothetically with the matte,
no doubt
in the hope that Mr. Cochrane, being bitnsalf a candi-
date for the representation of Westmipiter, might
set the business at rest by a flat denol. This was
the head and front of the offending. We perfectly
remember Mr. Cochrane in his Spanisk character.
We had frequent opportunities otessoWsitig with
him when he had completed the labours of the day.
He always pretended that he was a Spaniard and an
exile, and affected to speak bad English. His posi-
tion was greatly commisserated, and he was relieved
in a very haedsome manner by persons into whose
good graces he had insinuated himself. Our
astonishment and disgust may be conceived,
on subsequently reading his published work, to
find his interviews with females, single and married,
chronicled in the pages of his book. The man was
so vain that he imagined every girl to be in love with
his black eyes and curly locks; he fancied every
married woman to be deeply smitten with his ap-
pearance. Some foolish young creatures allowed him
to impart kisses to their fair lips—matronly dames
were eager to obtain a share of such favours ; at least
Mr. Cochrane informs us, and points out, in unmis-
takeable language, those who had indulged in levity
with him. Mr. Cochrane's book elicited the utmost dis-
gust ; it was the theme of constant reprobation, and
numerous were the persons at whom the finger of
pity was pointed for a length of time afterwards.
We think, if we had been in the position of The Sun,
we should have put in a justification ; indeed, Lord
Denman stated, in language that cannot be misun-
derstood, that if such a course had been pursued, a
verdiet must have gone for the defendant, and the
plaintiff would have been saddled with all the ex-
penses. Here are his Lordships words—" The
plaintiff had brought his action for the publication
of these libels ; but he had not said whether he
was the author of this book or not, or whether he
was the wandering minstrel, whose adventures were
described in it. He had left the defendant to justify
himself as well as he could. The defendant had
pleaded a number of pleas, and the defendant had de •
murred to them as being too general. The defendant
had liberty granted to him to amend ; but instead of
doing so, he left no plea but that of 'Not Guilty'
on the record. He much regretted the course
taken on both sides. It seemed to him to
be a sort of ingenious contrivance to keep
the jury in perfect ignorance of the truth
of the case they had to try. The plaintiff said
he came to vindicate his character, but yet he would
not acknowledge whether he published the book or
not; and the defendant would not plead that the
plaintiff published it. It was quite plain that in
pursuing this course the defendant had not done
himselfjustice. He (Lord Denman) could not con-
ceive why it was that, in a court of justice, the truth
was thus always lost amidst forms and technicalities;
so, however, it was at present. Under these circum-
stances, they had to say whether the plaintiff was
entitled to more than nominal damages." Of course
it is impossible for us to state how an
important matter like this could have been so
grossly neglected, especially as the means of obtain-
ing the information were at hand. The book was
printed by Mr. Brettell ; the manuscript was revised
iii his office ; numerous interviews took place ; and
yet no one was called with the view to show that
Cochrane was the author of the obnoxious produc-
tion I We are not the apologists of The Sun, but we
have no hesitation in declaring that Mr. Cochrane is
not the man for a representative of the people—and
that, if ever he makes his appearance in a public
character again, we will throw the contents of his
book in his teeth, and make him ask pardon of the
females whom he has so wantonly exposed ; and of
those fathers whose wives and children he has ma-
ligned.

[From the Weekly Chronicle.]
It is an odd proceeding to come into court with the
express view to vindicate one's character, and
then attempt to exclude the evidence by which it
was urged the charge might be supported. The
position of Mr. Cochrane is not much improved by
his verdict of Wednesday last against Mr. Young.
The latter had published certain charges, which
may be true or may be false, which were published
unquestionably with an absence of malice, in the
public exercise of his editorial duty. Whatever the
justice of the imputations made, the defendant
claimed to rest his justification on passages contained
in a work of the plaintiff. But these he was not
permitted to read, or put in as evidence, at the time
of the trial ; so that the moral effect of the verdict is
nil. Mr. Cochrane's legal advisers were right,
and performed their duty in framing the plead-
ings so as to render their client secure. But
how is Mr. Cochrane's purpose accomplished if
he sought to investigate and disprove a charge ?
Here was a book, averred to contain, amid the recital
of amorous adventures, the facts on which the charge
was founded. Why was that book, then, not pro-
duced if he hoped to set himself right with the pub-
lic, or why did he venture into court at all unless he
retained the power to produce it ? To Mr. Cochrane
this has happened, which we strongly suspect is not
what he sought : he has gained his cause at West-
minster Hall, without bettering his case at the West-
minster hustings.

ACCIDENTS BY RAILWAY.
TRIM OP TRAINS IN TRANSIT.
A freedom of personal movement along a train, on
a regular beat, either outside or in, should be afforded
to the guards, so that either driver or passenger
might be promptly reached on accidental occasion, or
at short and appointed intervals. In such a case as that
which occurred the other day, when a turbulent, in-
sane, or drunken person presented a pistol at the head
of a fellow-passenger, the most prompt aid might
thus be afforded ; or in cases of sudden insanity which
so often and so oddly occur in transit ; or in an
emergency such as that in which both driver and
stoker lay dead drunk on the engine while it was
rattling along atjthe rate of 50 miles an hour, with a
coming train

possible argument in its favour, and evidence of its
prospective utility, is in the fact that in various cir-
cumstances, the nearest possible approximation to its
rough practice, suggested by necessity or impelled
by peril, has been naturally and almost instinctively
resorted to by the guards in the dangerous, uncertain,
and most unofficial and reprehensible practice of
crawling along the tops of the carriages, Necessity,
therefore, may be said to be at least a helpful foster-
mother to this simple invention.—The Budder.

REPEAL MEETI.NG AT DONNYBROOK.
A great meeting of the United Repealers of
Clonakeogh, Dundrum, Donnybrook, Sandymount,
and other suburban district; was announced to take
plade at two o'clock this day (Sunday), on the far-
fatned Green of Donnybrook. At that hour, how-
ever, but a few hundred persons were present, al-
though the combined influence of pleasure and politics
was expected to produce a very large and early at-
tendance. Ample provision was made on the green for
the amusement of its occupants previous to the com-
mencement of the proceedings; and thimblerigging, and
the usual games which are celebrated at " the Brook"
ou,44le*casion of a fair, were industriously pursued.
A temporary ancf rather crasy structure, consisting
of a few barrels overlaid with planks, served as a
platform, and held about a hundred persons, includ-
ing Thos. F. Meagher, Esq., Charles G. Duffy, and
other conspicuous agitators.
At two o'clock the clubs began to arrive, and as
they marched in were hailed with loud acclamations,
and the numbers present continued to increase until
the close of the proceedings.
At half-past two o'clock Mr. John Vincent Ma-
grath, president of the Sandymount Club, was voted
into the chair.
The CHAIRMAN advocated union, and.expressed his
gratification at the spirit which prevails on this sub-
ject, and which, he trusted, would soon relieve this
country from her thraldom. Their object was to do
good to all, and injury to none, but to be in a position
to assert their rights. They believed themselves en-
titled to certain rights, privileges, and liberties.—
(Hear, hear.) They asked for those rights and privi-
leges—they insisted upon them, and, with the bless-
ing of God, they must have them.—(Cheers). He
urged the extension of clubs and the promotion of
a fraternal spirit, and advised all present to provide
themselves with arms, as he felt it his duty to do so
himself, to protect himself against the despotism
which was abroad to trample on the people, and keep
them in subjection.
Mr. It. DOYLE then proposed the first resolution as
follows :

" Resolved—That, impressed with a strong convic-
tion that the divisions and dissensions fomented by
our foreign rulers, have always proved fatal to the
interests of this country, we hail with pleasure and
hope the proposed meeting of all Repealers in the for-
mation of the contemplated Irish League, and this
meeting pledges itself to give its best and most active
support in the establishment of the League."
Mr. C. GAVAN DUFFY, in seconding the resolution,
referred to the enthusiastic meetings of '43, and
asked why it was they had failed to accomplish the
object they had in view ? It was because they were
not then in the right path—they were looking for
repeal by means which would never repeal the
Union.—(Hear, hear.) They were shouting for it,
spouting for it, begging and praying for it.—(Hear,
hear.) They had not then put themselves into
the only attitude before which the power against
whom their efforts were directed would yield—
the attitude of an organised and armed people.—
(Loud cheers.) Mr. Duffy then adduced the example
of Sicily, Hungary, and Italy, which he thought
afforded a lesson to struggling nations—and if they
profited by it Ireland would attain her independence,
perhaps without a shot, but at all events her freedom
would be achieved.—(Cheers.) He concluded by ex-
horting his vdi9ce to forget their differences, and
to enrol tlAiselves in clubs that very day, and to
provide themselves with arms.—(Cheers.) He saw
many present able to buy guns and muskets, but
there was not one who could not buy a pike.
In the course of Mr. Duffy's harangue a tri-
coloured flag, suspended from a pike, was introduced
upon the platform amid vociferous cheers.
The motion having been unanimously adopted,
Mr. GUNNING TAAFE proposed the next resolution,
which was seconded by Mr. DRUMMOND and passed.
It was to the following effect •—" Resolved, that we
approve of the fundamental rules of the Irish League,
as drawn up by Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Bart., and
we hail at this eventful crisis the establishment of the
League as the immediate forerunner of our indepen-
dence, and we adopt unreservedly the conditions of the
long-wished-for union of Repealers."
Mr. T. F. MEAGHER proposed the following reso-
lution, which was seconded and passed :—" Resolved,
,that this meeting strongly recommend the formation
of clubs in the several neighbouring localities, to aid
the Irish League in all practical measures for work-
ing out Ireland's future destiny."
After the adoption of a formal resolution of thanks,
the meeting, which at no period mustered more than
about 600 people, quietly separated.
This demonstration—the first which has been
made by the " United" Repealers in the neighbour-
hood of Dublin—seemed by no means to have realised
the anticipations of its originators.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Mr. Benedict's concert took place yesterday, and was
crowded. The great success of the day was Thalberg's su-
perb playing on the pianoforte. The novelty was Miss
Durlacher, a pupil of Balfe's, who sang Mozart's " Dovo
sono " divinely, doing every justice to the composer and
her talented master. Bellette's Swedish songs were
gems, and Madame Dorris Gras was encored in an air
from Clapisson's Gibby le Cornmeuse, which she gave
with matchless taste and brilliancy.

Aa.unnzn.—Much sensation. has been caused at
Peterchurch (Hereford) by the discovery of a murder
committed by a woman named Thomas, on her illegiti-
mate infant, which she killed by burying it alive. The
fact of the woman being so lame as to be compelled to
use crutches, led to the discovery of the murder, the
marks made by the crutches in the moist earth being
traced from the door of the cottage where Thomas lived
to the spot where the child was buried. On the Coroner's
inquest a verdict of wilful murder against Thomas was
returned.
DREADFUL FIRE. -- (THIS DAY.) About two
o'clock this morning, a fire broke out in the house of
Mr. Wright, boot and shoe maker, Southampton-row,
Bloomsbury. The engines from the Brigade, West of
England, and County soon attended, with Mr. Colf, the
foreman of the former body, but the flames reached the
buildings adjoining, belonging to Mr. Brough, draper,
as also those of Mr. Dyer, tobacconist. Mr. Wright's
premises, stock, &c., were all destroyed, and those of
the other parties greatly damaged. None of Mr.
Wright's family were present, to explain the cause of
the fire. The parties are insured in the Sun, Hand-in-
Hand, and County Fire.offices.—Loss about 1,0001.
OUTLINE DRAWING, LIRE WRITING, A. BRANCH OP
ORDINARY EDUCATION.—We have long and earnestly,
as is well known, advocated the propriety and advantage
of making the elements of drawing as general and pri-
mitive a branch of established and ordinary education as
the elements of writing, to which drawing is much
akin. And we are well assured, that most of
our habitual readers will rejoice with. us to observe,
that our idea is at length on the likely way to a practical
realization. Every one with the slightest acquaintance
amongst the Lilliputian generation, must be well aware
that an ambition, a positive itching, for pencil and paper,
or their equivalents in any shape, however mal appropos,
forbidden, or inconvenient, :is a characteristic feature in
the intellectual constitution of nine-tenths of the whole
of that interesting little class of men, and that the
delineation of form, in the exercise of which they so
much delight, and in the seizing of all sorts of oppor-
tunities for the display of their pridein which, they
are so eager and unscrupulous, only requires t.heguid-
ing hand of experience to reduce it, in multitudes at
least, if not in all, to intelligibility, taste and elegance.
Here is the impetus, the steam, the locomotive, and
we only want the lines, the grooves, in which
it is desirable we should lead it onward to its
useful destination. In the joint productions of Mr.
Richson and Mr. Wallis (" Lessons," &c.: Barton. and
Co., Holborn-hill), there are both tact and delicacy of
handling, well adapted to the tender faculties to be cul-
tivated ; and it is really interesting—we bad almost said
amusing—to observe the simplicity through which the
young idea is fairly cajoled into the unconscious rudi-
ments and forms of all the-stern profundities of geome-
tric lore.—The Builder.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady, without alteration in prices. Sales, 5,000 bales,
all to the trade. Railway Shores were in some request,
and prices improved a little. There was a good de-
mand for North-Western.
The accounts received by the packet from Rio de Ja-
neiro, are not of an encouraging nature for the mer-
chants connected with Brazil. A diminished importa-
tion of British manufactures gave a little strength to the
market, but the stock was still too large to allow of an
improvement in the quotations; and it will be neces-
sary, in order to avoid losses, that our shippers
should be very, sparing with their supplies for
some time to come. The policy of the Brazilian
Government in setting itself in opposition to England,
and imposing restrictions on our commerce, although we
have so greatly favoured all countries which grow
sugar,

venue, theserious compared with former years. We may depend
the v id

receiptsng upon
falling
upon it that, in the long run, illiberality must be its
own punishment, and that if Brazil takes few
c"
in ise
goods from us, our merchants can only afford to
take a diminished quantity of produce from
them. It does not answer to send ships out empty,
even if a return cargo is secured.
The Continental advices offer nothing very definite
upon the subject of the Danish war. It is greatly to

kingdoms will be firmly united against Germany.
The destruction by incendiary fires of several vil-
lages in Russia, has led to some remark, with the
view of ascertaining whether much disaffection exists in
neral impression that the Government was strong and
popular. Heavy losses have been incurred by the in-

In the Public Securities there is a more decided im-
provement this morning. Consols having touched 83i
to 83i. The abundance of money has the effect not
only of sustaining the market, but even of forcing it
up against political events tbat are occasionally ad-
verse, but when the foreign news is favourable, and
the suppression of the insurrection at Paris is very
much so—the impetus is proportionably greater. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 84i to
841 ; and the Three per Cents. 83i to 844 ; Bank

Foreign Securities have been very quiet again. Spanish
Three per Cents, 22 to 221 ; and the Five per Cents,
ilk to 11k. Portuguese Four per Cents are 15 to 154 ;
Mexican Bonds have been at 16i ; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents, 42i to 43i.
Shares are looking much better, especially North
Western, in which there have been a good many pur-
chasers.
