Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the came of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the ori;in of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
Me traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injarious ; 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 constitatioaal and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
are nature and consequence 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 snbioct.
This work contains an %emirate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physholov of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative coedit ens ii health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more ime,ortaace than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities if which every man elmuld
be possessed. It nafortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excesslye indalgonce aid vicious habits, whether acquired
la early lie or troll the follies if 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
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 aosurate discrimination a ascertaining the crosses 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 lee is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of bib practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES
FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR.
All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar
Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as
an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du-
ties. They cannot trait to their orders being executed by the
nurses, and they find that the patients sailer from faults of those on
who, in their state of hlpe,ssne, they are almost entirely depen-
dent;m and it is obvious th eatl any defects In the tempers and eharao-
ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hart-
ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral-
ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation whieh they
receive while is the hospital.
It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found
in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private
families, especially in those et the middle and lower classes ; and
parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom
they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and
administering to their bodily wants.
The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these
evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look
upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of
self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for
its trying and painful duties.
'1 he wont here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as
in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of
persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman
Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has boen found
useful in PIUSSia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of
professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti-
tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training
Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline
of the Church of England ; said it will seek to accomplish its object,
not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom
from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea-
vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of
persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To
raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training
which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the
1 same time essentially a religious training ; to hold out, to those wh
arc justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional
position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to
those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give
themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of
labour : these are the means which, as they have been successful
in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng-
land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing,
in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of
Improvement.
It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the
immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of
England and Ireland, as Master.
That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three
classes& :-
1. Those under training as probationers.
2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa-
tifactorily, ae admitted as nurs on codition of their engaging
tos continue inr connexion with these Institut,inon for a period of five
years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed
and maintained and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return
will be entirely, under the control of the governing body of the In-
stitution.
At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from
the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and
thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the
Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be-
lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually
raising the character of the whole class. A nuthanrse having
others,will this certi-
be
cats will necessarily occupy a higher position
likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect
upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this
as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them-
selves to the training of this Institution.
3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which Is in-
tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are
willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and
poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like
that which ss ill be here provided for them.
The management of the Institution will be confided to a council
of twenty-four members, (exclusive f the master, who will be
ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England
end Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their
own body.
A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments
within four years, or an annual subscription of live guineas, will con-
stitute a Governor.
A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay-
men's within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas,
will constitute a Donor.
The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub-
mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President
of the Institution.
It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop el
Tort, and the Bishops of Liehficid, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol,
Ripon, and Norwich.
The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr,
Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the lnsti.
tution.

The Volunteer Rifle Corps, which originated during
the temporary enthusiasm on the subject of natlonal
defences, is progressing towards formation, and hu3 met
with the approbation of her Majesty's Government, who,
it is said, will contribute the arms and uniform. Several
of the younger branches of the aristocracy have already
enrolled themselves as members of the corps, and his
Grace the Duke of Richmond has been offered the com-
mand. Lord Mandeville, it is rumoured, will be the
Major Of the corp.

FRANCE.
The arrivals of distressed British subjects, refugees
from France, continue, and it would seem from the ac-
counts received from her Britannic Majesty's Consuls at
Havre and Calais, that the number likely to arrive
within the week will in all probability be very large.
Great numbers of workmen from the mills at Rouen and
its vicinity are on the way to Havre. All the engineers
and workmen employed upon the Dieppe Railway have
been sent adrift, and the Bureau do la Marine has di-
rected the dismissal of all the engineers and stokers
employed in French steamers. The latest advises re-
present that the great manufactory of Baddicombe, near
Rouen, has been closed, that the extensive mills of Petit
Quenilly, near the same place, have also stopped, and
that the proprietor and manager, an Englishman, has
left the place for this country. Havre, in consequence
of these circumstances, is full of unemployed workmen.
The measures which are being taken for the relief of
those unfortunate men, moat of whom leave France in a
state of almost absolute destitution, are extensive. The
committee meet daily, and have already appropriated
nearly all the amount which has been subscribed for the
relief of these unfortunates. The committee have trans-
mitted ample means to the consuls at each of the French
ports of embarkation, and have from these authorities
Lull liberty to draw upon them according to their re-
quirements, so far as they may be able to supply the
funds. The consul at Calais, in a dispatch received by
Viscount Palmerston, has expressed his deep sense of
the great benefit which the means thus placed at his
disposal will enable him to confer.
The committee had communicated with the mayor and
other officers of each of the seaport towns in England,
offering at once to place funds at the disposal of any
local committee formed under the presidency of the
chief magistrate for the relief of any body of workmen
that may have arrived, or that may be expected in their
respective ports.
In Dover, in consequence of the offer, a public meeting
was appointed to be held oa the subject, whilst at Bris-
tol, Chichester, Margate and other places, subscriptions
are being raised and means taken to aid the object. At
Portsmouth, Folkstone, Southampton, &c., immediate
measures will, it is hoped, be taken to require local bank-
ers to render assistance to the sufferers.
A statement which has gone the round of the papers,
is likely in the opinion of those most deeply engaged in
this work of charity, to occasion a very erroneous im-
pression as to the measures that are being taken to pro-
vide for the refugees who may reach London. All the
arrangements which have been made in the metropolis
for the relief of those who arrive here, and for passing
them to their respective parishes, have originated with
and have been made at the instance, and at the charge of
the committee of which the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Lord Harrowby, Lord Ashley, the Lord Mayor, and
others are members. The accounts stated to have been
received by the Lord Mayor have also been handed
over by his Lordship to the committee in question, with
which his Lordship is in most cordial and entire co-
operation.
The committee referred to are, we understand, in com-
munication with her Majesty's Government with respect
to a measure of emigration which has originated with
the workmen in Calais, who express the most anxious
desire not to be thrown, at this critical period, into com-
petition with the already overcrowded labour-market of
this country. In the event of the completion of such an
arrangement, very considerable funds would be needed,
which there is little doubt, however, the public will
liberally supply.

EXPULSION OF ENGLISH WOR
MEN FROM FRANCE.
Mancrt 24.—The Transit steamer, Captain
Bell, has arrived from Antwerp, which port she left on
Wednesday afternoon, and to which date tranquillity
prevailed in Belgium . The passengers brought over are
principally parties belonging to the West Riding of
Yorkshire, who had been employed for some time in the
flax-mills at Lille, but owing to the threats made use of
by the inhabitants, they had been compelled to leave the
country on the instant for their own safety. In some in-
stances violence had been reported towards the unoffend-
lug English workmen. A passenger by the Transit,
who had been engaged as overlooker in one of the
most extensive flax-mills in Lille, states that the
treatment experienced by the English workmen
was of a nest revolting character, and that from the
precipitate manner in which they were driven from the
country not one of those brought by the Transit had
succeeded in removing any of their household goods or
other property, and that in nearly every instance the
individuals were all but penniless. In one case, a young
man, who was also employed in a flax mill at Lille, bad
a very narrow escape from falling a victim in the hands
of the excited mob. They demanded that he should
immediately quit the country, and when he expressed
his willingness to do so, but asked time to collect a few
necessary articles of clothing before he removed, ho was
violently attacked by the mob, who threatened t,-) hang
him. He, however, fortunately succeeded in effecting
his escape, and, after some difficulty, reached the Tran-
sit in safety. The distressed condition of the passen-
gers naturally excited the commiseration of Captain
8011, who generously supplied them with food, and
otherwise attended to their wants. We also learn that
there are still a large number of Englishmen in the neigh-
bourhood of Lille, who are extremely anxious to re-
move to this country, but, being without pecuniary
means, aro utterly unable ;.0 escape the dangers which
surround them.

THE NEW FRENCH GOVERNMENT
On the Monday following the flight of Louis Philippe,
a grand council was held of all the revolutionary leaders
assembled to dictate terms u hula clos to the Provisional
Government. The wise and calm demeanour of La-
martine seems to have irritated in no small degree the
boiling, passionate nature of Lagrange, whose excite-
ment was so fierce and terrible that several of the
members of the Assembly prepared to withdraw in
alarm. Lamartine alone blenched not, and the sangfroid
and self-possession displayed in his replies only served to
increase the savage anger of his opponent the more. At
length,exasperated beyond control, the infuriated Repub
lican, drawing a pistol from his pocket, rushed towards
Lamartine and exclaiming " Thou art no true patriot!'
—pointed the weapon at the head of the Minister—" What
hinders me from taking thy life now—at once—upon the
instant?" shrieked he, with redoubled fury, as the calm
glance of Lamartine met his eye. " Your own con-
science," coolly replied the Minister, " and the utter
uselessness of such an outrage; for should I fall, there
will still remain my colleagues, who, all to a man, have
resolved to die rather than submit to violence, or, to
return to the senseless anarchy of '93!" The words had
the effect of calming for an instant the fury of Lagrange
--he dropped the weapon which ho held, and, turning
pale as death, while his eye quailed before the steady
gaze of Lamartine, he muttered between his teeth,
" Thou art not a true republican, nor yet a true patriot,
but I verily believe thou art an honest man l"—and then
sank:again upon his seat at the council-board, trembling
in every limb, and apparently exhausted with the effort
of passion to which he had given way. It was then that
his neighbour, La Caussidiire, managed to seize the
pistol which he had placed beside him, and by his pre-
sence of mind saved the Assembly from a dreadful
catastrophe, for in the space of a few moments Lagrange
arose, and with the most frightful yells and howling'
began to rend the clothes from his back and to tear the
flesh from his bosom, until the blood spirted forth, all
the while uttering the most fearful imprecations and
blasphemies. In an instant the whole Assembly was in
an uproar--the terror of the scene was greater than
words can describe. It was evident that the fierce ex-
citement of the last few days had turned the brain of
Lagrange and produced a fit of raging madness. He
was secured with difficulty, and borne to a rnaison de sante
at Montmartre, where he now remains, I believe, still a
raving maniac. The Assembly all gathered round La-
martine with congratulations, but the effect of the scene
was such that many were forced to retire, and the meet-
ing broke up. Much commiseration has been felt for
Lagrange, who, it cannot be doubted, is a warm and dis-
interested though misguided Republican. His absence
from public affairs is considered a great relief, as his
violence was much dreaded by the other members of
the Government. He is one of the handsomest men
whom it is possible to behold, and possessed great
power over the determinations of the lower class ; there-
fore the accident which has befallen him is considered
by many an almost providential occurrence.—Atlas.
