11/1 Ono half the wend are desolately single, and the other
4upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
3ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
sitter the latter. Tho solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
'3omprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
an.l broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness

tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should fern al item
in the compact ; it along dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

LOVE is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion. this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of sectet disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
it will
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
happiness.

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the hizhest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases

into which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the

of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—AII continues most marvel-
lously tranquil, not even a ripple on the surface to
disturb the calm which set in concurrently with the
opening of the Special Commission. The corre-
spondent of the News Letter, writing
last night from
Clonmel, thus describes the state of that district:—
" The town is perfectly quiet--there is not the
slightest excitement, and the surrounding country is
also tranquil. The mission of the military and police
to Km,cklufty and the adjoining districts resulted, I
widerstand, in the arrest of two or three country
people who were not able to give a satisfactory
account of themselves. The statement that Baron
Parke is comingbere to assist the judges in expound-
ing the criminal law is, I have been informed, un-
founded. The aid of any English judge is assuredly
unnecessary while Chief Justice'Blackburne is one
of the presiding judges at the Commission. The name
of Baron Parke is not in the document nominating
the judges—the Irish judges alone are empowered to
act ; and those before whom the Court was opened are,
as has been already stated, Chief Justice Blackburne,
Chief Justice Doherty, and Mr. Justice Moore. It
is stated that, Baron Pennefather will give the
benefit of his experience to shis brother judges, if
it be necessary 'for him to do so. His Lordship
lives upon his estate, which is between three and four
miles from Clonmel, and, as he is named in the com-
mission, it is very probable that he will be present at
the trial, or at least in the Judges' chamber, if a
consultation be advisable. Baron Parke will, it is
believed, come to Knocklofty Castle, the seat of the
Earl of Donoughmore, and iris very likely that he,
too, will be in court durinelherliaial-kri-have
learned that a man named Patrick Cunningham has
been arrested on a charge of treasonable practices.
He was rather a respectable married man with a
family, and was in the establishment of Barry, Tenan,
and Company, Carrick-on-Suir. Being fearful of
arrest, he left his employment, and while on his way
to Limerick was taken into custody by a detective
who got into conversation with him upon a car, and
extracted from him that he was a good deal impli-
cated in the rebellious movements which for some
time have been going on, and was the leading mem-
ber of a club in Kerry. The prisoner was conveyed
to Tipperary by railroad, and thence in the custody
of four police-constables on one of Bianconi's cars
to Clonmel, where he is now confined. Information
has been received of a gathering of the people
upon a hill not far from Thurles, to disperse
which a number of military were dispatched; but
nothing of any serious character need be anticipated
from this event. The State prisoners, except Mr.
Leyne, are in good health. The privilege extended
to Mr. O'Brien of seeing the members of his family,
and professional advisers, at all reasonable hours
during the day, has been limited to particular periods,
owing to a complaint made by another of the S`ate
prisoners, that a similar privilege had not been con-
ferred upon him."
It is understood that the counsel for the defence of
Mr. O'Brien have finally decided not to call Lord J.
Rassell into .the witness-box.
Touching the Premier's appearance in Court, the
Evening Herald observes :
" After all, we shall not have the Prime Minister
on the table at Clonmel. It has just been discovered
that Mr. S. O'Brien's advisers were mistaken, not in
the -nature of the documents in reference to which
Lord J. Russell received a Crown summons, but
with respect to the individual actually compromised
by them. The facts, as they were believed by Mr.
O'Brien's friends at the time when the summons
was delivered, were exactly as we then stated them.
It is, however, now ascertained that Lord J. Russell
is not implicated, at least directly, in the disclosures
which were looked for. It is perfectly
true that a noble lord, who held a foremost
place among the Reformers, and afterwards one
of the highest offices to which a subject can aspire,
did actually pending the reform riots write alletter, at
this moment in existence, inviting a gentleman then
holding the rank of colonel to place himself at the
head of 50,000 men, and march upon London, for the
purpose of overbearing opposition by terror. We
cannot say whether evidence ,to this effect will be
tendered, or whether the necessary Crown summons
has been served ; but, although the illegality of such
evidence was clearly established, and there existed, of
course, no chance of its being admitted, even its tenor
and the comment of counsel in the case we speak of
would lose much of their point and meaning, for the
party actually implicated by the letters is not a mem-
ber of the present Cabinet. In conclusion, we have
to state that Lord John Russell has been written to
by Mr. O'Brien's solicitor, ;apprizing him that his
attendance at the ensuing trial will be dispensed
with."

THE CONVICT JOHN MARTIN.
The following appears in the Freeman of this
morning :
" We deeply regret to announce that Mr. Martin
has been labouring under fever for the last week, and
that he is at present in a very precarious state. He
is attended by his own private physician, and also by
Dr. Banon, the medical attendant of the prison, and
it appears that but slight hopes are entertained of the
patient's recovery."
PERIODICAL SITTINGS OF PARLIAMENT
The Society for Promoting the Periodical Sittings
of the Imperial Parliament in Dublin met yesterday
At their rooms in the Northumberland-buildings ;

Lord William Fitzgerald in the chair.
The following report was presented by the sub-
committee appointed on the last day of ineeung :
" The sub- committee having carefully considered
the objections hitherto made to the project for pro-
moting annual sittings of the Imperial Parliament in
Dublin, feel it to be their duty to lay before the so-
ciety their first report on the subject, though they
are fully aware that it is, in many respects, a very

imperfect one.
" The allegations made in opposition to the objem
of the society have been generally of a very vague
and indefinite character. Your committee will en-
deavour to refer to each of them in its turn, briefly
and yet fully, not mis-stating it,
and being most
anxious to be set right should they appear to do so.
" The first leading objection, and the one apparently
most relied upon, is the mischief of agitation ; an
objection founded on the hypothesis that a state of
things so unsatisfactory as to render discussion unne-
cessary exists in Ireland; a position which, when
thus clearly stated, is so remote from the truth that,
so far as your Committee is aware, no objector has
had the hardihood to support it. That agitations have
latterly been the occasion of vast evil the Committee
freely admit, and the main advantage they promise
themselves in the success of their project is the ulti-
mate cessation of those manifestations of moral and
physical force which the ill-balanced and ungoverned
position of the country have hitherto rendered not
only practicable but continuous. Deeply interested
in bringing about the permanent tranquilliastion of
freland, the chief object of the Committee is to seek
peace and insure it.' They desire nothing so much
as to relieve the country from that wasting. agitation
which is the immediate cause of most of her miseries,
but which must continue so long as the influence
of the legislative classes remains abstracted from
Irish society, the regulation of its feelings, and the
direction of its energies being altogether retained
in other hands. The Committee knows that the in-
stitutions of British society have grown up in ac-
iccordance with the existence of these elements in
her social system. They see the English community
easily guided through tranquillity to rrosperity by
the co-operation in all its parts of monarchical, aris-
tocratical, and democratical machinery, well fitted,
meansresorted
either
and working easily and safely together. It appears
.o them that in Ireland, on the contrary, the attempt
is made
its
st or
regulator
t otrh

th machine
without
to to supply the defects in its movements being
utterly inadequate. They cannot doubt but that in
the insufficiency of the patchwork is to be found the
necessary cause of those unfortunate agitations and
listurbances which are so banefully operative. A
Court that is not a Court is the substitute for royalty.
Viceroyalty, so constituted as to be a gigantic um
reality, is not only not the regulator, but is actuall
in itself the disturber of society. It is and can be
but the centre of intrigue, the focus that collects and
renders intense the emanations of the spirit of syco-
phancy and place-hunting, which is the direct opposite
of that independence and industry by which a nation
can be elevated into prosperity and wealth. Its itn•
mediate accompaniment is a host of persons who, in
the absence of an aristocracy-, lead the people, and
ascend through a course of agitation into the heights
of office.
" The Committee does not believe that any system
of agitation which offers rewards to its promoters,
and which is in itself a necessary attendant and sup-
port to mock authority, will cease and determine at
the bidding of either the press or the Ministry. It
sees that even the attempt made by the society to
evoke a calm and temperate discussion upon an im-
portant public question has been encountered by
agitation of the most unreasoning character—discour-
teous misrepresentation of its motives and objects
have been unfairly put forward by the organs of the
Executive. The names of respected and influential
citizens have been forged to its disparagement—all
the influence of the Government press has been used
