ments, the llon. East India Company, the principal Dock Com-
panies, most public bodies, and by the nobility, clergy, and gentry,
for out-door work at their country seats. The ANTI-CORROSION
is particularly recommended as the most durable out-door paint ever
invented for the preservation of every description of iron, wood,
stone, brick, compo, cement, &c., work, as has been proved by the
practical test of upwards of 60 years, and by the numerous testi-
monials (between 300 and 400) in its favour, and which, from the
rank and station in society of those who have given them, have
perhaps never yet been equalled by anything of the kind hitherto

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questioaably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense "of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
,:ornprosine hurry ; but the troth 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 deneatad that health should form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
4eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

pointments.when
Excesses are always injurious ; the gift,

to dilate,
the nature and conseGuence of which this Treatise professes
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 account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attentien 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 unfirtunately 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
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously eutertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination 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 his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MEitT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE LATE CASE OF DESERTION.
TO THE BENEVOLENT.
The case of MRS. CAROLINE WELLITON, which appeared in
" The Sun" of Saturday, the 12th instant, under the head of " Marl-
borough-street Police-office," is earnestly recommended to the 'notice
of those whom Providence has blessed with the means and disposi-
tion to assist one who is deprived of a home and every earthly com-
fort belonging thereto, by the base conduct of her husband.
The Magistrate (Mr. Bingham) who heard the case, said, " Ile
thought if her case were made public, some benevolent individuals
might come forward and assist her. He would give her a sovereign
from the poor-box for a beginning."
This appeal is accordingly made on her behalf to enable her to pur-
chase materials for her business, viz. :—the making of cloaks and
many other useful and ornamental articles of the most beautiful va-
rieties, knitted in Berlin wool, that by her great skill, well-known
ability, and perseverance, she may be raised from the distressing
condition in which she is placed. and be henceforth enabled, under
God's blessing, to maintain herself in that sphere of respectability to
which her worth and talents entitle her to aspire to.
The following Ladies and Gentleman have kindly consented to re-
ceive contributions on her behalf:
Mrs. S. Ilayler, No. 22, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square.
Mrs. Montgomery, No. 2, Upper Ebury-street, Pimlico.
Mrs. Gravel', No. 3, Charles-street, Berkeley-square.

REGATTA AT ISLEWORTH.
The great regatta at Isleworth, which has for some
time past engrossed the attention of aquatic gentlemon,
amateurs and others, took place on Monday, under a
committee of the most influential residents of the place,
who had prepared so sumptuous a bill of fare, that,
but for the extremely unfavourable state of the wea-
ther, must have rendered the meeting superior to
any that have taken place near the metropolis, ex-
cept only the Thames Grand Regatta. It unfortu-
nately, however, poured with rain nearly the whole
of the day; notwithstanding which the Duchess Dowager,
the Duchess of Northumberland, and a select party, wit-
nessed the race from Sion Pavilion. There was a large
assemblage of ladies and gentlemen on board the Vivid
steamer and a state barge of Captain Styles's, lately be-
longing to the Goldsmith's Company, and many hundreds
availed themselves of the shelter of the trees to view the
rowing from the towing-path. There were twelve races
on the card, affording considerable variety of sport, and
the arrangements throughout were admirable.

AND MEXICO.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.

By the arrival of the royal mail steam-ship
Hibernia, Captain Neil Shannon, in the Mersey,
yesterday afternoon, we have received our usual files
of papers from the United States and Mexico. The
Hibernia left New York on the 2d, and Halifax on
the sth instant. She brings the usual mails, and
forty passengers, and has about 5,0001. specie on
freight. The America, which sailed from Liverpool
on the 22d ult., reached Halifax on the 2d instant.

- -- -
In Congress the attempt to pass a sort of Com-
promise Bill for the government of the new territo-
ries has been defeated, the House of Representatives
refusing even to entertain or discuss the Bill which
had passed the Senate, and of which the tendency was
to permit the establishment of slavery in New Mexico
and California. It seems pretty well settled now that
no Bill looking to such a result can obtain the assent
of the House of Representatives.
General Taylor's acceptance of the Whig nomina-
tion to the Presidency has at length appeared.
The only other news of political interest is the
statement now received in an authentic shape of a
battle, or rather succession of skirmishes near Gua-
najato in Mexico, between Bustamente commanding
the Government forces, and Paredes with Jarante at
the head of the revolters. The victory is claimed for
both sides, but neither appear to have done ranch in
the way of fighting.
The dates from the city of Mexico are to the
14th ult., where the Government of Herrera seemed
to be pursuing its course without interruption or dis-
turbance.
The American troops have now all left Mexico,
and that country is again delivered up to its own
laws and rulers. Among other effects of this is the
re-enactment of the old Mexican tariff.
Dulness pervades all branches of trade and com-
merce.

The sales of cotton and woollen goods for the
autumn trade had commenced at New York, but we
cannot congratulate our English friends on the
prospect of high prices.
Loud complaints, says a New York paper, reach
us from the American manufacturing districts. Cotton
and woollen manufactories, as well as iron works, are
stopping work in every direction in consequence of
the ruinous competition of the English. These dis-
asters, acting upon the public mind, bid fair to pro-
duce important changes in our rates of duty on Euro-
pean manufactures.

The state of the commercial and money market
is not improved since the advices by the preceding
steamer.

The news by the Europa, with dates to the 14th
ult., produced little or no alteration in the American
markets, except for cotton, which has advanced some-
what, as is stated below.
Money continues to be in great demand here,
although business is ♦ery dull. The stocks of the
United States, and of the States, feel the effect of this
pressure. Treasury Notes bearing six per cent. in-
terest, were down to-day at 1021, and United States
Sixes of '67 at 103.

In fancy stocks there is little or no speculation.
The State of Pennsylvania commences paying her in-
terest to-day—not all, we grieve to say, in cash—but
a portion of it in relief notes, which are at a dis-
count—an unworthy expedient, certainly, for a great
and rich State.

Congress would adjourn on the 14th August.

COMMERCIAL.
NEW YORK, Atro. 1.

Cotton.--The news, per
,United States and Europa,
has caused an advance of about half a cent per pound
in this market, and we must now quote middlings at 6/
to 7/ cents for all growths, and fair 71 to 7/ for Uplands,
and Bto $1 for Orleans. Stock in this port between
55,000 and 60,000 bales. Sales of the last few days
average about 1,200 per day, chiefly for England. Not
much offering for sale. Freight to Liverpool *th to
5-32nds of a penny per lb. The prospects for an
abundant crop continues about as good as ever. Some
complaints are made of rains here and there, but they
seem very local, though there has been more rain in the
New Orleans districts than in the Atlantic States. The
maximum effect probably is merely retarding the appear-
ance of the first hundred bales of new cotton some four
or five days.
Flour, Ecc.—ln, consequence of a demand for the
English market during the last few days, and light re-
ceipts, a slight improvement has taken place in the com-
mon brands of Western Canal flour. The sales reach
4,000 to 5,000 barrels per day. Common New York
4 dolls. 76c. to 4 dolls. 1 lie.; Western Canal, 4 dolls.
87,ic. to 5c.; pure Genesee, 6 dolls. 25c.; common
southern kinds, 5 dolls. 76c. to 6 dolls.; for old and new
rye flour, 3 dolls. 59c. to 3 dolls. 62/c. Jersey
corn-
meal is in moderate demand at 2 dolls. 58-Ic. to 2 dolls.
61/c. The market is well supplied with the common
qualities of wheat. Sales of Wisconsin, Missouri, and
Ohio have been made at from 87/c. to 1 doll., and some
Ohio at 1 doll. 6c. Corn has been in good demand,
but there was less inquiry to-day. Sales of common
mixed were made at 51c., good ditto at 52c. to 55c.,
flat yellow ditto 57c., round yellow is held at 60c. ltye
is held at 70c. Sales of northern oats have been made
at 45c. to 47c., southern ditto 40c. to 42c.
Ashes are firm at 5 dolls. for Pots, and 6 dolls, per
1001bs. for Pearls.

Whisky continues in request, 110 bbls. of Western
sold at 221 cts. Drudge casks are hold at 23.
The transactions in Exchange for this steamer were
limited and at declining prices. Bills on London, 60
days, may be quoted at from 9 to Of, and at the latter
figure difficult of sale.
The difficulty of disposing of U. S. Six per Cents. in
any large amount, in the home market, will
probably
lead to a considerable remittance of them abroad to
try the Evropean market.
The Manhattan Banking Company of this city, of the
stock of which a considerable portion is owned in Eng-
land, has just declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per
cent.

Pig Iron.—Since the arrival of the steamer 1,000 tons
Scotch have been sold, part at 13i dolls. cash, and 25
dolls. 6 mos.; establishing an advance of 4 dolls. per ton.
There is but little offering.
Provisions.-31ess Pork has fluctuated within the last
few days, but closes firm at 11 dolls. 37ic.; prime ditto,
8 dolls. 87ito. Beef is rather dull at 6 dolls. 50c. to 6 dolls.
75c. for prime, and 11 dolls. 50e. to 12 dolls. 55c. for
mess. Lard is in limited request, at ;le. to le-
Naval stores are inactive. Rough turpentine is held
at 2 dolls. 500. per bbl. of 2801b5.; spirits of turpentine,
3-Ic. to 35c.
The rates of Frieght are—to Liverpool, for cotton in
square bales,s-32d. per lb.; flour and turpentine, Is. to

PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 2.
Several very important events have' occurred since
the sailing of the Boston and Liverpool steamer
of the 26th ult. On the 27th the " Compromise,"
or Now Territory Bill, which involved the princi-
ple of the Wilmot proviso, and of slavery or no
slavery in the new states and territories, and which left
the choice of slavery or no slavery to the inhabitants, by
vote, of such states or territories, was, after a very long
debate, carried in the Senate by 33 yeas to 22 nays.
On Friday the same Bill was brought forward in the
house of Representatives, where, almost without debate,
it was laid on the table, by 112 yeas to 97 nays.
A motion was then made to reconsider the above vote,
but this motion was laid on the table, was 114,
nays 96.
The senatorial vote was decidedly favourable to the
introduction of slavery into new territories; but the vote
of the House has completely killed the Bill for the pre-
sent session, while the vote against a reconsideration of
the question hr,s literally buried it in the tomb of the
capitol. Thus for another—and yet another—and per-
haps for many more sessions, will this important question
agitate Congress and the country. The result thus far
has given vigour and courage to the " Barnburner" (Mr.
Van Buren's) division of the democratic party, while it
has greatly strengthened the views and policy of the
northern or free states.
And now wo have, for the first time, General Taylor's
official or forraal acceptance of the Whig nomination,
as
a candidate :'or President of the United States.
We have had two arrivals from Mexico. The first
brought us
,accounts of the formal congratulations of the
diplomatic corps to General Herrera, on his accession to
the Presid ency, and his reply in the following speech:
" Gentlernen—lt is very grateful for me to receive
from the honourable representatives of friendly nations
the expression of their good will for my government, and
of their ar dent interest for the fate of the nation with the
first mag istracy of which I am invested by the funda-
mental le .ws of the State.
"I tru st that the wishes for the happiness of Mexico,
which I have listened to with gratitude, may bo fulfilled.
All good citizens are of accord as to the means of re-
pairing past calamities, and of improving the elements
of prosperity winch the country contains within its
bosom, and nri administration will spare no effort or
sacrifice that -four prayers may be accomplished.
" The goad understanding which exists between this
republic a-id all other nations is one of the best features
in its pre sent situation, and it will be cultivated with all
care. The people of Mexico feel only sentiments of in-
terest f,)r the happiness of all their brother nations, and
of justice and frankness towards all who live beneath
the sky, These form the basis of their policy.
