Marriage resmires 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 raisol,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disitp-
aointments. Excesses are always injurious; the chit, which when
Used in moderation it 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
.he 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 subject.
MN work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
Emir relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attet.tion and study, for what subject can
be of more -inmortattea- than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
he passe red. 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
front theininvariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear 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 accurate discrimination. u ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, aid, above all, secret', inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse-sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteems and respect in Ins profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MEET has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the groat extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

IRISH SPECIAL COMMISSION.
CLONMEL, MONDA/r.
The Chief Justice sat this morning at ten o'clock.
The Chief Baron was absent, owing to indispositior.
MURDER OF A BAILIFF.—CAPITAL CONVICTION.—

erence Corboy, a young man about twenty-five
years of age, was indicted for having, on the 17th of
October, 1846, at Gurtnafana, in this county, wilfully
and feloniously murdered one Patrick Gleeson, by
firing a loaded gun at him, and inflicting a mortal
wound on the right side of his body, of which he
languished and died on the 22d of the same month.
Some of the counts in the indictment alleged that
other parties committed the murder, and that the
prisoner was present, aiding and abetting.
Two members of the Society of Friends were em-
pannelled on the jury, having taken the usual affirma-
tion, instead of an oath. The prisoner's agent chal-
lenged twenty of the jurors called.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL shortly stated the case
for the Crown. He said that the deceased was a man
in very humble life, and was acting in the capacity
of a bailiff or process• server, when he met with his
death by the prisoner's hand, in the presence of a
large number of persons. It would be proved that
the deceased went to serve ejectments in the neigh-
bourhood of the murder, an was fired at by the
prisoner, who shortly afterwards absconded from the
country, and was arrested in \Vales, where he passed
under the fictitious name of Patrick Ryan. Evidence
would be given not only of the positive fact, but of
the dying declaration of the deceased, and the state-
ment of the prisoner, who said, when arrested, to the
constable who took him, " that it was all over with
him—that a man who was borned to be hanged
would never be drowned," alluding to a very rough
and dangerous passage he had from Waterforel to
\Vales. It appeared from the statement of the
Attorney-General that the deceased had been in the
habit of serving ejectments, &c., for land agents, and
that he was employed in serving processes on the
tenants on the lands of Gurtnafana, or in the neigh-
bourhood where he was killed. Some days before he
was on the same lands, and received a beating, and
the prisoner was heard to say that he would shoot
whoever came again to serve law papers on the
tenants. Evidence would be produced to show that
the fatal shot was fired by the prisoner.
Several witnesses were examined to establish the
case as stated by the Attorney-General.
Mr. RoLLesTorci then addressed the jury for the
defence, and examined a witness to throw the suspi-
cion of the crime on a person named Murray.
The CHIEF JUSTICE charged the jury, who retired,
and in about two minutes found the prisoner Guilty.
He was then removed.

MURDER OP WILLIAM CRAWLEY. CURIOUS
CIRCUMSTANCE.—Jehn Playden was placed at the bar
charged with the murder of William Crawley.
When asked to plead the prisoner made no reply.

The governor of the gaol said the prisoner had not
spoken a word since he was fully committed, about
three months ago.
CHIEF Jusrice.—Explain to him the meaning of
this; ask him to plead to the indictment.
The governor then told the prisoner the nature of
the proceeding, and asked him whether he was guilty
or not guilty ; but still he made no=reply;•.llere
was no one employed for him. •
CHIEF JUSTICE---Mr. Attorney, what will yet do ?
ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I have been speaking to the
medical gentleman who attends the gaol. and he has
told me that he believes all this to be feigned do the
part of the prisoner.
CHIEF JUSTICE—WeII, you know what the law
enables you to do in such a case.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, my Lord, but as the
doctor is of opinion that it would be better to allow
some time to examine the matter more fully, I think
it would be well to postpone the case till the assizes.
The bill of indictment was then quashed. The pri-
soner, who is rather a well-looking young man,
about twenty-six years of age, was then removed. It
is said that when first conunitted to gaol he spoke,
but he has not uttered a word since he was fully
committed.

RUMOUICED ASSASSIIIATION.—A good deal of anxiety
was created here yesterday by a rumour that Mr.
Croker, of Ballinagar, foreman of the late grand jury
in Limerick, had been shot near his own residence.
It was stated that a policeman had brought the intel-
ligence to this town, and a crowd of persons awaited
the arrival of the mail car from Limerick, at half-past
five o'clock yesterday evening, to ascertain whether
there was any foundation for the report. But on the
arrival of the car it was found to be utterly without
foundation. Nothing had been heard about it in
Limerick up to the departure of the mail. Later ac-
counts from Limerick show that the statement waa
altogether false.

MERTING OF MR. ALISON'S CREDITORS.—On Mon•
day a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Alexander• Alison,
jun., ironmaster, one of the directors of the Ayrshire
Iron Company, printer and publisher in Glasgow, and
sole proprietor of the North British Mail newspaper,
was held in the Black Bull Hotel, Glasgow. Mr.
M'Cowan, accountant, the interim factor on the seques-
trated estate, read a report, from which it appeared that
the bankrupt estimated his liabilities in the meantime at
about 80,0001.. while his assets, exclusive of reversions
expected to be recovered from the estate of Pitcon, &c.,
are about 12,0001. The amount of absolute loss is given
at 55,0001. ; and amongst the items which make up this
sum are 5,4001. lost upon pig iron ; 11,8001. bad debts ;
21,300/. upon newspaper and other publications; 10,4001.
upon shares, &c., &c. According to the balance-sheet
or Ist December, 1847, it appears that the bankrupt had
drawn from the Blair Iron Company 35,300 L, and from
the Ayrshire Iron Company 14,000/. Mr. M'Cowan
was unanimously appointed trustee upon the estate, and
instructed to take the necessary steps to secure the
interest of the creditors as far as practicable.--Glasgow
