One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
enso of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern-
-Met the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
:omprosing hurry; lout the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
Ind social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
-.eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
.hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
.lEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
-ach (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
op mislnterpretatior, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
,em. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
hey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
he above subjects, by unqualified authors, whiah alone or
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
,y post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
ivoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
)amphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
riere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
tie, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
.could be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA

The Borsenhalle gives the following accounts,
dated Bucharest, 28th July :
" The Russian force in 'Wallachia has completely
ceased to advance. The Porte claims a right to inter-
vene alone, and has acknowledged the revolution of
Bucharest."

Letters from Jassy announce that General Du-
na.istEL is preparing to quit Moldavia.

AUSTRIA.

The Breslau Gazette, of the .9th instant, states
that the victory gained by the Austrian army was
celebrated at Vienna, on the 7th, by the garrison
and the National Guard.

-..- v.._
Advices from Milan to the 7th. have arrived. The
pillaging of the city by the Austrians had somewhat
abated. The Prince of SCHWARTZENBURG had been
formally appointed Governor. Cannon were pointed
against the city, which was declared in a state of
siege. Among the minor occurrences worthy of
mention, we may observe that a reduction of the
duty on salt had been conceded.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-110USE.

Edward Rowe, Elizabeth Rowe, his mother, and David
Ogylvic, who were some days ago charged—the first with
having stolen a 50/. note, a 201. note, and other notes for
151., on the South-Eastern railroad, from a box in one of
the company's vans, and the other two with having re-
ceived the notes, well knowing that they had been stolen
—were brought up.
The LORD MAYOR, having stated that he found the
case did not come within his jurisdiction, directed
that the prisoners should be handed over to the au-
thorities of the county in which the robbery had been
committed

The several witnesses summoned to appear to give
evidence in the case of Lieutenant Bowen who was some
days ago charged with having forged a will, attended
before the Lord Mayor and Sir J. Koy to give additional
evidence.

The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received a let-
ter from the keeper of Giltspur-street prison, briefly re-
presenting that the unfortunate prisoner bad destroyed
himself.

The report about the Mansion-house was that the
prisoner had contrived to twist his shirt into a sort of
rope and tie it tightly round his throat. There was
no doubt whatever of his guilt as to the charge of forging
the will.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
KINSALE.

The Kinsale Election Consmittee re-assembled at the
usual hour this morning; Mr. Bouveric in the chair.
Dr. Jago's examination was resumed this morning.
lie most positively denied having bribed any voters
either directly or indirectly. He was in the habit of
attending the poor of Kinsale gratuitously, and since the
eleetioet he had discovered that many of Mr. Guiness's
poor supporters had been terribly persecuted.
Michael Bateman, an undertaker and cabinetmaker,
of Kinsale, proved that shortly after the election And
Ryan came to him with a shaving bill, and demanded
Payment of the amount of 3s. Bd. He told her he had
never ordered the shaving, that he knew nothing about
it, and he should not pay it. The paper produced was
the bill. It was a bill for shaving twenty-two persons
at twopence a head. It was a curious document in its
Way, and set forth that two Cork men required two
shaves a piece to cleanse their chins, while one Jim
Crow and another, Mick Mahoney, were satisfied to put
up with one shave between them. Witness believed
that 9 out of the 22 persons were voters. Ryan so
pestered him for the amount, frequently waylaying him
in the streets about it, that eventually he paid her father
the 3s. Bd. to get rid of her. He knew a man named
Herne, he voted for Mr. Guinness so early as eight
o'clock in the morning. Before ten a civil process was
out against him and others who had voted the same
Way, for their arrest for trifling debts which they
owed, but witness represented their case to a grocer
named Williams, who told him that rather than
these persecuted men should go to gaol, he, Mr. Wil-
liams, would pay their debts twice over. Mr. Williams
did pay their debts, but this generous act did not have
the effect to putting an end to the persecution, and since
the election, these poor fellows had been subjected to
many acts of petty tyranny. One of the witnesses who
had been called on the other side, waited upon witness's
father shortly after the election to demand some money
Which the fellow said witness had agreed to pay him
for voting for Mr. Guinness ; but as witness had never
done any such thing, he deliberately kicked the fellow
out. Still the fellow had since had the impudence to
State that witness paid him what he called for.

INSURRECTION AT PA MS.

RESIGNATION OF M. GUIZOT.

Glory be to the Reformers of Paris !—to the
liberal Opposition !—to the gamins of the Fau-
bourgs !—to those Reformers, to those Deputies, to
those artizans,
.who have evinced such a sublime mo-
deration in such an unparalleled emergency. Never
were a free people so goaded on to revolt by the
criminalities of an insensate and unprincipled Govern-
ment as the population of France have been under
the sombre administration of GUIZOT. Never before
did a great nation vindicate its liberties in a manner
more august and bloodless. Its aspirations scorned,
its loyalty abused, its civil rigt.ts subverted, and its
political institutions disorganized—peculation winked
at by its Cabinet, a Cabinet whose members were
professedly incorruptible—tying and prevarications
adopted as the habitual weapons of its diplomatists---
red-handed murderers allowed to escape with impunity
into the grave or the dungeon, the one saved from
tlae
expiation of his infamies upon the guillotine by a phial
of laudanum, the other sheltered from the tignominy
of the galleys by a flagrant misprision
of the
penal enactments—nationality violated in Spain,
reform abandoned in Italy, despotism abetted in
Switzerland—its representative in Athens a stock-
jobber, in Vienna an absolutist, and in St. Peters-
burgh a promoter of spoliation—Cracow abandoned
to its destiny, Algeria ravaged into obedience, and
ABD•EL•KADEJ, cajoled into a convention for the
purpose of being securely incarcerated, with all these
provocations and a thousand others more imminent,
more personal, snore local, more galling, and more
us/justifiable, France has preserved its tranquillity,
and Paris has compelled the Ministers to retire by a
sudden, spontaneous, unbloody, and majestic demon-
stration.

of yesterday, extraordinary changes have been
effected in the Vrezehremetropolls. Throughout the

THE INCOME-TAX.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

" Sin,Ll beg:to call your attention to the following
specimen of the mode in which the present income (?)
tax is collected.

" Mrs. AP-Loughlin, of North-end, Fulham (whose
husband died twelve months since), had an application
made to her by the district collector for the sum of
21. 18s. 4d., and she being unable to pay, and knowing in
fact the same nor any part thereof was not properly
payable by her, applied to the Commissioners to bo
excused payment on the ground of ' poverty,' to which
they returned in answer, ' that her request could not be
acceded to, for, that, they had applied to the district
collector on the subject, who had made the following
report to them:—
‘. That your late husband in addition to his trade of a
builder, was possessed of an income of 1101. 2s. from the
following sourees, viz ,
" Rent of 10 cottages in Portland street
London, England, 1848-02-24

' Profits from other leasehold houses at North-
end

281,

"Commission for collecting rents
And that such cottages still continued in your possession,
and that you have also a house in the Bridge-road,
Hammersmith, let from Michaelmas last at 401. a year.
Now, this report being entirely false in every respect,
Mrs. M'Loughlin again wrote to the Commissioners a
full and explanatory letter, contradicting, and showing
the groundlessness of their district collector's report—
and in answer received (I suppose) the usual reply,
" that they had received her further application to be
excused payment, but that they could not accede to it,
and unless the amount was forthwith paid, proceedings
would go on for its recovery."
Now, Sir, I think it is time if this inquisitorial tax is
to be continued, that the public should know whether
they are to pay upon their actual incomes, or upon in-
comes created by the report of a district collector, and
if the latter is not intended to be the case, then, that
some easy remedy should be pointed out to meet cases
of unjust assessment like the present.
Your most obedient servant,
WILLIAM ALLEN.

THREATENING NOTICES.

DUBLIN, FIB. 22.—The threatening notice or intimi-
dation system has commenced anew in Clare. For a
brief period after the Special Commission it was thought
that the incendiaries had been coerced into the abandon-
ment of their infamous policy ; but there is too much
reason to fear that it has only been suspended. A notice,
of which the following is a copy, has been served on Mr.
Daly, of Ennistymon, a gentleman who has been active
and unceasing in his exertions to mitigate the distresses
of the peasantry:—
" Take Notice. Any person taking any sad of the

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the heads of Families from the
possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in of temporary sickness
occurring is families, m,ro or less. every day, are so obvious to all.
that no question can oe raised of its importance to every householder
in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following
is respectfully submitted :
" To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London.
_ _

" No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842.
" Sir,—l have much satisfaction In communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it butt justice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of various Aperient'Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this test moray, I am the means of making
Frampton's Pills more generall:, known and appreciated.—l am,
Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."

The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well,
known attendants, Bilious and Sick llead•eche, Pain and Oppression
atter meals, Ciddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY.

At the half-yearly meeting held on Tuesday, at
Chester, it was stated, that the opening of the line to

grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. Gd., Gs., and 10s.

RESTORATION OF THE HAIR.
"To Messrs. A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London.
•• Linton, Cambridge, October 25, 1847.

" GENTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas-
sar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice.
The person alluded to is a young man named Haylock, of Ashdou,
near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac-
countable means. Ile purchased of me several different popular pre-
parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect-
ing the lea:•t apparent change, At last I adrised him to try a bottle
of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me
the pleasing intelligence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair.
You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to,
" Yours rerpectiully,
" J. SERGEANT, Bookseller, &e."

LOWESTOFT RAILWAY.

At the half-yearly meeting of the company, held on
Tuesday, at Lowestoft, it was stated that the receipts
of the railway during the past half-year had been 2,5351.,
and the expenditure 7091. A long discussion arose on
the subject of the guarantee of the Norfolk Company to
the original shareholders of 4 per cent. and half profits
on a capital of 120,0001., another Bill having been ob-
tained to authorise the raising of 120,000/. additional
capital, with a guarantee of 6 per cent., which it was
considered had the effect of depriving the original share-
holders of half profits, and compelling them to subscribe
for additional capital.
After several amendments being proposed unsuccess-
fully, the report was adopted, and the retiring directors
were re-elected.
London, England, 1848-02-24

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.

At the half•yearly meeting held on Tuesday at Chester
the directors recommended the discontinuance for the
present of the allowance of interest on calls. They had
irauced the expenses of the wilco establishment by re-
moval to Chester. The question of taking legal pro-
ceedings against defaulters was under the consideration
of the board, and the meeting recommended that strin-
gent measures should be adopted to secure the payment
of calls i❑ arrear. The operations were confined to the
works at the Shrewsbury station, including the bridge
over the Severn and the portion of the line adjoining
thereto.

"'A letter from Malta of the 14th states that the
British squadron which was lying in that port left
suddenly on the 12,h, partly for the coasts of Naples
and Sicily, and partly for the Adriatic. The departure
of the squadron was so precipitate, that some of the
ships left without completing their repairs.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN PICCADILLY.—Last even-
ing, between seven and eight o'clock, the neighbourhoods
of Piccadilly and Regent-street were thrown into a state
of considerable alarm and confusion by the sudden out•
break of a serious fire upon the range of premises known
as the White Bear Hotel and old Coach-office, situate at
219 in the first-named thoroughfare. The flames com-
menced, from some unexplained cause, in one of the
sleeping apartments over the tap, and were not disco-
vered until they had gained too firm a hold to be easily
extinguished. The well-known premises of Mr. Salis-
bury, termed Webb's Hotel, and the Spread Eagle
booking-office, adjoined the White Bear, on the western
side of the street, and so rapidly did the flames extend,
that every house from the corner of Regent-circus to
the Haymarket appeared doomed to destruction. The
County engine arrived, closely followed by numerous
others belonging to the London Brigade. There being
plenty of water at hand, the engines were called into re-
quisition ; but the fire, in the mean time, had broken
through the roof, and several of the back windows of
Webb's Hotel were wrapped in flames. The firemen
carried the hose of the engines up the staircase, and by
standing on the corridors obtained a commanding posi-
tion over the flames ; but they were unable to get them
completely extinguished until several rooms in the upper
part of the tap were burnt out, the roof and lofts under
destroyed, and a great number of windows burned out
of the back of Webb's Hotel. The property was in•
sured in the Union Office.

numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac-

suffice :

" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, status that the Fountain
Pump tieing fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saTing the ship and 230 souls ea board, two seams in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump elm:lkea and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

ASSASSINATION IN NORFOLK.
NORWICH, WEDNESDAY NlGHT.—Yesterday evening
a most horrible assassination took place at Stanfield-
hall, near Wymondham, the seat of J. Preston Jermy,
Esq., Recorder of this city. It seems that Mr. Jermy
was called out to speak with a person who asked to see
him, but had scarcely entered the drawing-room before
he was shot through the heart by the stranger. Mr.
Jermy's son, hearing the report, rushed into the room,
and was shot through the side. His wife and her maid
also came down to see what was the matter, and were
both fired at by the ruffian, and severely wounded.
Mr. Jermy, jun., died almost immediately after re-
ceiving the wound in his side. The servant, who was
shot through the thigh and bead, is not expected to
survive, and Mrs. Jermy, who was wounded in the
.shoulder, has undergone an amputation of the arm.
A man, named Rush, who has spent a considerable
sum in law suits with Mr. Jermy, has been apprehended
on suspicion.

In consequence of the victory of CATBtERA over
MENZANO and of the great force in which the Car-
lists are assembled in Catalonia, several battalions of
troops have been ordered to pass into th?, province

was dispatched for Madrid on the 23d to take the
command. It is said that in the late action one of
the Tristnnis was killed. General CORDOVA is about
