One half the world aro desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes era-
,-itter the latter. The solitary else may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
3omprosiag hurry ; hut the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrance* to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net he the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour end justizAdeasaad that health should form an item
In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

THE PIIICE OF GAS.

Upon the reading of the minutes of the preceding
Court,
Mr. Gonsort, in reference to the experiments of the
gasburners, said the object of the commissioners was,
not to identify themselves with any particular man of
science, but to make the gas companies reduce their
price; and he trusted that, if the commissioners
should find it necessary to advertise, the advertise-
ment would not be considered mere humbug, as had
hitherto been the case, the two companies not having
received any interruption in their long-standing
monopoly. The public expected and must obtain a
fair reduction.

Deputy STEVENS suggested the appointment of a
sub- committee to ascertain the value of gas.
The CHAIRMAN said that when the important ques-
tion of the City supply of gas should come regu-
larly before the Court, the cheapness as well as puri-
fication of the article should be considered for the
benefit of the public. At the same time the public
must not be deceived. It was the intention of the
Court to ascertain whether the reduction from 7s. to
6s. was an adequate reduction. If such appeared to
be the case it would be most unreasonable to require
the price to be made still lower. If a further reduc-
tion was to be fairly expected and refused, the ques-
tion then would be, and it would be soon decided,
whether the streets of the City should not be broken
up, and a new company let in for competition.
Mr. GODSON said that he had some years ago sup-
ported Mr. Charles Pearson's proposition in the Court
of Common Council, andif that proposition had been
carried another company would be now supplying the
City with cheap gas. The citizens of London would
be rejoiced to hear of the chances which were multi-
plying for the reduction of the price of so indispensable
an article.

REMLNISCENCES OF
PRINCE TALLEYRAND,
Edited from the Papers of the late
M. COLMACHE, the Prince's Private Secretary.
Few particulars of the private history and early life of Prince Tal-
ley-rand have hitherto been published. The revelations and recollec-
tions here recorded will be found to exhibit a more interesting por-
trait of the illustrious statesman than has yet been given to the world.
The curious incidents and scenes in the Prince's own career are com-
bined with extraordinary anecdotes of his contemporanes, and illus-
trate, in a remarkable manner, the events of the great drama in which
he acted so conspicuous a part.

Eit MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

LYME REGIS.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the
legations in the petition presented against the return
of Mr. Abdy for Lyme Regis met for the first time yester-
day morning; Lord Ashley in the chair.
Mr. Sergeant Wrangham appeared for the petitioners,
and Mr. M. D. Hill, with whom was Mr. Wordsworth,
for the sitting
-Member.
Mr. Sergeant WILL/N.OllAm opened the case for the
petitioners—The petitioners complained that the sitting
Member obtained his election by resorting to bribery
and corrupt practices. The bribes were administered to
the voters by his agents, who went down from London
for the purpose, and while at Lyme Regis adopted the
significant name of Birdseye. lie should prove seven
distinct acts of bribery, besides several cases where the
sitting Member had given ♦arious voters employment,
as a consideration for their voting for him. The peti-
tion was that of Sir F. Kelly, and against the return
of the sitting Member. The numbers polled at the
election were, 146 for the sitting Member, and 143 for
Sir Fitzroy Kelly, and if he succeeded in neutralising
the votes of the seven parties against whom he preferred
charges of bribery, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, instead of being
in a minority, would be entitled to be placed at the head
of the poll.
The Learned Counsel proposed to go into the scru-
tiny case first, but the Committee decided that bribery
ought to be proved before the scrutiny could be gone
into. The witnesses, however, required to prove the
bribery case were not in attendance, and the Committee,
therefore, adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow.

RAILWAY ROBBERIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
ALTON V. RUSSELL.

SlR,—With reference to your report of this case,
on the 9th instant, it is but justice to me to supply
some omissions of evidence in your ab!e report.
First, the "parties whose interference led to the dis-
charge of, and attendant writs by, Mr. and Mrs.
Wareham, were Mr. Pearse and Mr. Maples, and not
Mr. Sturns, whose reiterations of their and of Mr. Rus-
sell's promises of indemnity were made at later
periods, as the correspondence read in court showed.
Second, that this action was brought for the benefit
of creditors, all of whom were such in respect of
Wareham's six actions, and my being hft without
proper protection. The amount claimed was accord-
ing t') my books and vouchers; and investigations had
been frequently invited of the directors, Mr. Russell,
Mr. Mills, Mr. Sturns, and Mr. Saunders, but for
twenty months (up to the day of this trial) they
resisted every overture, and did deny their legal
liability, which led to all my difficulties exposed in
court yesterday ; and tl•ey even put in pleas
denying the eromises of the defendant, and
alleging that I did not go far enough in the
investigations which pleas they abandoned in court
before I had gone through a tithe of my evidence.
They might have paid money into court, or agreed
on other courses open to them, rather than, as the
correspondence shows, abandan me to my fate, and
neglect to fulfil their promises, and what they ad-
mitted to be their moral liability. In justice to me,
insertion of this is necessary.
I am your obliged servant,
CHARLES NASH,
Parliamentary Agent.
Montague street, Wednesday.
P.S.—I must also correct these particulars :—That
the arrest of Wareham was the result of fourteen
days' excessive exertions, and under counsel's advice,
and not in consequence of information from Maynard.
That the instructions to go on with the investiga-
tions were from the defendant, and not from the
plaintiff. The verdict against me, by Wareham, was
only half a farthing, and the Judge refused him his
costs, thus vindicating me on that unfavourably pre-
sented occasion. For eighteen months after resigning
my engagement I conducted business for the company,
and ensured their successes in the same actions of
Wareham, yet was refused a single shilling on ac-
count to meet the expenses.

OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES.

In bringing forward the Budget, Lord JOHN
RusseLL'is to propound the Government plan for
the national defences. What that plan is we know
not; but certainly it ought to be a good one, judging
by the multitude of advisers—from THE Field-Mar-
shal himself—from commissioned and non-commis-
sioned officers, naval and military—down to the
civil but generous volunteer. Almost everybody has
his plan—the fighting captain and the peaceful manu-
facturer. One would keep the invader at arm's
length, while the other would cordially shake him
by the hand. With the one expense goes for nothing,
while the veriest economy sways the other. "Ten
thousand soldiers at each seaport," thunders the Duke
—" bales. of exports," replies the toiling cotton-
spinner. The gallant soldier, wrapt in his esprit du
corps, forgets that we are essentially watermen ; and
the manufacturer overlooks our defences in the inter-
change of trade. The one seeks security at home,
while the other would
" Have all the world before him, where to choose
His place of vent, and profit still his guide."
And so, perhaps, it should be. National wealth is
but the aggregate of individual profit. But what is
the Ministerial plan ? We would humbly suggest
what it ought to be—efficiency based on economy.
We are increasing the artillery on land—why not
increase it on our natural element, the ocean ?

" England's best bulwarks are her wooden walls,"
and the ocean is our natural rampart. Man that
rampart by marine artillery, and the danger of inva-
sion will diminish in proportion. We have seamen
and marines—we have ships and to spare, but we
have no marine artillery as a body—we have
no organized fbrce bearing the tame and possessing
the aptitude of a Marine Artilleryman—a man trained
to great guns as well as small arms—a soldier and a
seaman in one person—a man who could hand, reef,
or steer—who could storm a fort or board a ship—in
short, a man of all work—an educated man•of-war's

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. he raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, In how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
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 lees injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on
.he 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 Accounts of tho
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive O nd 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
Irons their invatiable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for rciief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him :.nd prevent his seeking
.or,asaistanee where alone it can he procured. In acting thus, he
ergots that accurate discriminatiow n ascertaining the causes 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 111;.; posse sion of the regaisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extenijed. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a
guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

LADIES, during the heat and dust of Summer,
will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing pre-
paretic' for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and re-
laxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately afford-
ing the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful
state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature,
utterly free from all mineral admixture, aid pleasing and delightful
in• its effects, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR tends to neutralise the
action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that
healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which Its general well-
being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted.
Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, flushes, and discoloraticns, fly before
its application, and give place to delicate smoothness, and the glow
of beauty and of bloom. In cases of sun-burn, or stings of insects,
its virtues have long been acknowledged.
Beware of spurious " Kalyilors" for sale, containing mineral
astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant
action endangering health. It is imperative on purchasers to see that
the words. " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper. and " A.

of the lion. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on
