sin One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
witter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosiug hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
Neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, it

STRICTURES OF TIIE URETHRA: Prevalent and Dangerous

Errors in their Treatment.
Just published, price 55., (by post free, Gs.,) Bvo., in cloth,
THE PATHOLOGY AND RATIONAL
TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the URETHRA, in all
their Varieties and Complications. With Practical Observations no
the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment of Urethral Dis-
eases, showing that the unnecessary employment of instruments is
a frequent exciting cause of stricture, and that a want of practical
knowledge and manual dexterity in their use, when necessary, is the
source of most of the severe, long-protracted, and complicated cases
of that disorder so fatally pi evalent. The whole illustrated by nu-
merous cases.

excited have altogether disappeared. Rumours have
been current as to the satisfactoriness of the state of mat-
ters at Lahore, the disposition of Ghoolab Singh to prove
false, and the general tendency of the Seikhs to rise
against us. Nothing has yet occurred beyond the ori-
ginal outbreak to give us any reason to believe them
grounded in the slightest foundation. The best evidence
that they were no party to any conspiracy is the strong
probability that ne conspiracy ever existed. The insur-
gent chief, finding himself now involved with us, is
likely to do all he can to injure us, to implicate others
in his guilt, and excite his countrymen against us. We
are meanwhile using all precautions to prevent the con-
sequences should serious mischief arise. The defences of
Lahore are being improved and strengthened, and every
precaution being adopted that our officers may be sub-
jected to no surprise. The political agents at outstations
are reported to have been called in. On
the 30th of April Shere Singh quitted Lahore
with a force of 3,000 Seikhs, chiefly cavalry,
dispatched by the Durbar for Mooltan ; they seemed
chiefly intended to watch the movements of the insur-
gents, to prevent the turbulent from joining, and pro-
tect the villagers from plunder. Amongst the number-
less reports in circulation is one that the Nizam will
probably make an attempt on Bahawulpore, in revenge
for the assistance the Nawab was so anxious to afford
our mission. A troop of horse artillery and a regiment
of irregular cavalry reached Ferozepore on the 3d of
May from Loodianah ; they moved by forced marches,
and were in all likelihood meant to be employed in case
of any such demonstration as that referred to being
made. Officers of corps quartered at Lahore, absent on
leave, have been ordered to join without delay, and the
troops all along the line of frontier have been directed
to hold themselves in readiness to move at a mo-
ment's warning. Similar arrangements are making in
Bombay to meet the possibility of troops from Sinde
being desired to be sent up the river, whose
places may be taken by others from the presidency.
As already stated, the alarm originally excited
by the insurrection has in a great measure subsided, and
it is on all hands agreed that nothing is likely to be at-
tempted till after the rains, by which time it is not im-
possible the rebel Dewan may have discovered the utter
Hopelessness of his case, and of his own accord sued for
terms. The most inveterate enemies of the policy of
Lord Hardinge are constrained to, acknowledge that his
military arrangements to protect the frontier are perfect.
At Sukkur there is a fine siege train, with a supply of
mortars of the largest size ; and at Ferozepore the train
of heavy guns can scarcely be surpassed. There are
three moveable brigades of 3,400 men each, which have
always been kept fully equipped for movement at a mo-
ment's notice ; and Lord Hardinge insisted that their
baggage cattle should be mustered and appointments ex-
amined once every month, to see that nothing was
wanted to meet an emergency, however extreme. On
the frontier beyond Meerut we have a force of 50,000
men, of whom 10,000 are Europeans, with 100 guns, all
stationed with the utmost skill and judgment. As the
cry has once more been raised that the reduction of the
army effected by Lord Hardinge was premature and un-
wise, we may here reprint a statement which appeared
in our columns ten months since, the perfect accuracy
of which may be depended on :
" The augmentations made in the Bengal army since
1837 amount in round numbers to 50,000 men. The re-
ductions which have been ordered in Bengal, including a
Queen's regiment, which it is reported is to be sent
home without being relieved, will amount to 30,000
men, and the saving of expense probably to 700,0001.
a-year. In the Bombay army the reductions, including
a Queen's regiment sent home, will amount to 7,000
men, at a probable saving of 300,0001. a-year; and in the
Madras army to 10,000 men at a saving of 160,0004 a-
year.
" Thus the reductions amount to 1,160,000/.* The
tribute from Lahore is 220,000/. a-year, and the revenue
from the newly ceded territory on the north-west fron-
tier 400,0001. The relief thus afforded to the finances
of the country will amount to about 1,780,0001.
"As regards the European force, which, according to
report, it is intended should be retained in India—if a
comparison be made of the European force which has
been available for the suppression of internal commotion
—and we have no external enemy to fear—it will be
found that it is far larger
_than it was at
many former
periods.
" In Bengal, exclusive of artillery, the European force,
consisted in 1837 of two regiments of cavalry and nine
of infantry.
" 1838—Two regiments cavalry, nine infantry—of
which one regiment of cavalry and two of infantry were
employed beyond the presidency in Affghanistan,
" 1839—Two regiments of cavalry, 11 of infantry;
similarly employed.
" 1840—Two regiments of cavalry, 12 of infantry—
of which six regiments of infantry were employed
beyond the presidency—three in Affghanistan and three
in China.

" 1841—Two regiments of cavalry, 13 of infantry—
of which five regiments of infantry were employed
beyond the presidency—two in Affghanistan and three
in China. _ _

" 1842—Three regiments of cavalry, 16 of infantry—
of which two of cavalry and seven of infantry were em-
ployed beyond the presidency--four in Affghanistan and
three in China.

" 1843—Three regiments of cavalry, 14 of infantry—
of which two were employed in China.
" 1844—Three regiments of cavalry, 14 of infantry—
of which three were employed beyond the frontier—one
in Silvio and two in China. _

" 1845 —Th ree regiments of cavalry, 14 of infantry ;
similarly employed.
"By June, 1846, the number of infantry regiments on
the Bengal establishment was, by the home authorities,
augmented to 17, but before the reinforcements arrived
from England the Klialsa army had been destroyed and
peace proclaimed.
"It is reported that the European force for Bengal,
exclusive of as finery, is in future to consist of three
regiments of cavalry and 11 of infantry, which is an in-
crease to the European force of one regiment of cavalry
and two of infantry, as compared with the force of 1837.
It will also be seen from the above statement, that the
Bengal Presidency has ou more than one occasion been
left with only six regiments of European infantry.:
" The health, too, of the European force has not been
neglected. Barracks for another entire regiment have
been ordered to be built in the hills, and rumour has it
that five or six companies of the European artillery are
also to be located in the hills—thus affording to the men
of that excellent force their fair share of the benefits of
a residence in a salubrious climate.
"As to Madras, it appears by the Army List of 1841
that although there were eight regiments of European
infantry on the establishment, there were only live serv-
ing within the presidency, one being employed in China,
one at Maulmain, and another at Aden. There are now
seven regiments within the presidency, the regiment
from Maulmain having been withdrawn, and I have not
heard that any change is contemplated.
"In 1837 the number of regiments of European in-
fantry within the Bombay presidency was four and a
halt, a wing of a regiment being stationed at Aden. In
1838 there were only two regiments and a half within
the presidency, two having gone to Saute. In 1839
there were three within the presidency. In 1840 and
1841 there were four within the presidency. If a Queen's
regiment is sent home this year without, being relieved,
which it is reported is to be the case, there will be seven
regiments on the Bombay establishment—two being em-
ployed in Sinde, and a wing at Aden, the European
force within the presidency will be the same as it was in
1837, and larger than it was between 1837 and 1841.
"In the above observations I have attempted to show

country has not been materially affected, and that it is
susceptible of rapid augmentation ; that the European
force serving within the three presidencies, now when
we have no external enemy to guard against, is larger
than it was at many former periods. And I may lastly
remark, that in Bengal, after all the reductions, there
will be on the north-west frontier, at and above Meerut,
a force consisting of nearly 50,000 rank and file, and
100 field guns, which force comprises three regiments
of European cavalry, eight regiments or European in-
fantry, and 21 troops and companies of European ar-
tillery.

"It has just come to my knowledge that a second
regiment of European infantry is to be moved up to
Lahore from Ferozepore, and that one of the European
cavalry regiments from Umballa is to occupy the vacant
infantry barracks at Ferozepore.
" Barracks have also been commenced for a regiment
of European infantry at Jullundur. Thus, though re-
ductions have been made, the efficiency of the frontier
force has not been neglected; and if the reports from
Calcutta be correct regarding the improving state of the
'we may hope that in a short time we shall have
a surplusu instead of a deficient revenue, which will afford
rtoevuesnthee means of carrying on works for the benefit of
the country at large, such as railroads, and that of the
Ganges Canal, on which, as you are already aware,
an annual expenditure of 200,0001. a year has been
sanctioned."
