Marriage reqaires 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 raised,
and its true source is every instance disclosed, in how =my could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointmests. 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 less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the 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.
This work contains au accurate and complete account of the
of
Anatomy and Physniology of the Reproductive Organs, and
their relative conditlons in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation ef the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be pomessed. 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'
trout their invariable consequeices, unwisely entertains a fear 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
tor 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 posse.lion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits,

NICOLL'S NEW REGISTERED PALETOT,
or SITII3IEII. COAT (Registered 6 and 7 Vict., cap. 65),
can be had in London only at the Ware-rooms of the Patentees.
For the West End, 114, 116, and 120, Regent-street ; City address,
22, Cornhill.

THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES apper-
tain to NICOLL'S PALETO'r, newly registered :—First, to
be described, is its elegant 3et unpretending gentlemanly appear-
ance ; happily contrived to show to advantage a good figure, or to
improve an imperfect one, as it can be worn either with or without
another coat—the latter method during the hot weather affords an
indescribable luxury.

ECONDLY, Nicoll's New Paletot retains its
predecessor's original price, viz., Two Guineas, or lined with
Silk, Two-and-a-Half, and the Paletot d'Ete, or Jacket, better known
as the ♦ade mecum to the seaside, the country ramble, or anywhere,
where a light coat is desirable, the same being very durable, weigh-
ing, but ten ounces, yet only One Guinea.

IN the THIRD PLACE, for the convenience of
those who wish at once to put on (and pay for It) one of
NICOLL'S NEW PALETOTS, the same in every size, from that of
A Daniel Lambert to taw smallest schoolboy, can be seen at the Pa-
tentee's Ware-rooms in Regent-street or Cornbill, as also of the re-
cognised agents in every principal town, and both wholesale and re-
tail at Messrs. Macdona's, Molesworth-street, Dublin ; at Messrs.
Daubarn and Son's, 110, Bold-street,.Liverpool ; at Messrs. Wareing
and Son's, New-street, Birmingham ; and at Messrs. Christie and
Son's, George-street, Edinburgh.

riIHERE is another Advantage not yet specified :
NICOLL'S PALETOT has, free of extra expense, oue of the
new Patent Pocket Protectors, which precludes the possibility of any
purse, coin, or other property from falling out, whilst the wearer can
place such In or without it from the pocket with all customary con-
venience.

TN CONCLUSION, it is proper to state that the
high patronage originally extended to NICOLL'S REGIS-
TERED PALETOT is being continually renewed, the same emanat-
ing from their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of
Cambridge, the elite of rank and fashion, the senate, the pulpit, and
the bar, besides the patronage of officers in the two services. The
following is an extract from the Debats :---" Pour l'anique elegance
du style, les Messieurs Nicoll ont acquis une celebrite qu'ils esperent
conserver, et qui leur a merite le haut patronage tie plusieurs Souve-
rains de I'Europe."-114, 116, 120, Regent-street; and 22, Cornhlll,
London.

A R R I A. G E.
31 One half the wend are desolately 'single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and Worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticedereand that health sheuld form az item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CITLVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by nest, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
•,ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
dfe, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
in the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
iherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet•street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,

BONE• DOMING NEAR THE MILLBANL PRISON.—
Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Bedfiird, in
the ➢lillbank Prison, on the body of Thomas Capper,
aged 32. The deceased was under a sentence of seven
years' transportation. On the 2d of June he was ad-
mitted to the infirmary, and died on Thursday from
continued fever.—The foreman of the jury wished to
ask Dr. Baly, the physician to the prison, whether he
was aware of the stench arising from the bone-boilers
on the Lambeth side of the River, especially at night,
and if this was not injurious to the prisoners?—Dr. Baly
said he was quite aware of the smell coming from these
places, and that it must render the air impure; but he
could not say he had been able to trace the prisoner's
illness to this cause.—Mr. Deane could not conceive
that such malaria passing into the cells of the
prisoners could be otherwise than injurious to
them. Carts, also, loaded with the bones went
over Vauxhall-bridge every morning. and the
stench was so great that the toll. keeper could hardly
wait to take the toll. He hoped the coroner would make
a proper representation to Sir George Grey, so that a
clause might be introduced into the Health of Towns
Bill, which had now passed the Commons. The whole
neighbourhood was injured by this nuisance. I❑ answer
to the Coroner, Dr. Baly said it had not accelerated the
death of the prisoner.—The coroner said no doubt the
question was a very important one, and would have
great weight with Sir George Grey. It was a matter in
which he did not think he ought to interfere ; but it was
perfectly within the province of the jury, and it would
be an excellent opportunity for the whole of the inha-
bitants of Millbank to join in a petition.—Dr. Baly said
be would represent the subject to the inspector of pri-
sons.—Mr. Deane' We will take care to prepare the
memorial. A verdict of Natural Death was then re-
turned.

TUB MURDER AT PORTSMOUTU.—The convict,
William Atter, who struck his guard, James O'Conner,
with a mallet, and is at present in Winchester gaol on a
charge of murder, was at an early age sentenced to
seven years' transportation for robbing a farmhouse in
Lincolnshire, where he had been previously employed.
After his conviction, he was sent to the hulks at Wool-
wich and remained there nearly four years and a half',
when he obtained his freedom, and shortly after his libe-
ration he enlisted into the Royal Artillery. While on
board the Warrior convict ship at Woolwich, he con-
trived to steal eight sovereigns from one of the men in
charge, a part of which was recovered, and his thieving
propensities prevailed when he was in the Artillery, as
he stole his comrade's watch and deserted from the re-
giment. It was for the latter offence he was tried and
again sentenced to seven years' transportation, prepara-
tory to which he was sent to the convict hulk at Ports-
mouth, where he committed the crime with which he
now is charged—the murder of his guard.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Desperate Wound in the
Thigh Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract
of a Letter from Mr. J. S. Munday, farmer, residing at
Kennington near Oxford dated March 31,1848. To Pro-
fessor Holloway:—Sir, Having received a wonderful
cure by the application of your Ointment to a dreadful
wound in my thigh, and from which I had long suffered,
I feel it my duty to acknowledge the speedy and extra-
ordinary effects produced by your ♦aluable Ointment
and Pills in my own case, having previously used several
other remedies without success. I have also had vari-
ous other opportunities of witnessing the beneficial
results attending their use among my labourers. Sold
by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

DEATH OF A MISER.—The Rev. Dr. T. Powell, a
minister of the Church of England, who was highly
connected, and who it was supposed, from his penurious
habits, was far from being in good circumstances, re-
sided near the High Cross, Tottenham, and his attend-
ant was a little boy, who was the only person who had
any control over him. He avoided all company, and was
always desirous of passing his time alone. lie died on
the 9th instant, when his relatives made search for his
will. Sergeant Butcher, of the N division, was applied
to, when he and a solicitor proceeded to the house.
They entered a room, which was the one he occupied,
but they were unable to remain in it from the effluvium
that prevailed there, and they were obliged to have it
fumigated before they were able to look for the will.
This was discovered, upon which it was ascertained that
his real and personal property amounted to between
50,0031. and 60,0001. Of this he had bequeathed 1,0001.
to the boy who attended upon him, 6001. to his brother,
a legacy to each of his executors, and above 30,000/. to
the London hospital. The landed property, which is
situated at Tottenham, is estimated at 10,000/. The will
will be disputed by Sir H. Martin, who is heir-at-law to
the deceased.

DRESSMAKERS' AND MILLINERS'
BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.
A public meeting to form an institution in furtherance
of the above object was held on Wednesday,
in Willis's
Rooms, King-street, St. James's.
Lord ASHLEY presided, and in opening the proceed-
ings, after expressing the pleasure which be felt in taking
the chair on that occasion, said it was needless for him
to enter into a detail of the sufferings of the class which
they were assembled to assist. But,
in passing, he
thought he might refer to the evils which were endured
by milliners and dressmakers from close and overheated
rooms, and the many disorders arising froM the present
system, among which he might mention pulmonary con-
sumption and insanity. In nearly
every case, however,
in which. these disorders had been experienced by the
class in question, reason had returned when the toil was
removed and the method of living changed. The prin-
cipal object for which they had that day met was to es-
tablish a benevolent and provident institution, and to
was
enable the milliners of the metropolisthem-
selves and the country,
by their frugality, to secure
selves in Ware life. It was very possible
that those young women would be already
aware of the benefits of such an institution ;
but he considered that they also ought to be acquainted
with the means of establishing it. It was, then, the
duty of the influential classes to come forward to aid
those who were unable to assist themselves, in order that
the objects which they had in view might be carried into

HAMBURGH PAPERS.
ITAMIURGR, JUNE 17.—During the
belongingpas t
Hamburgh barque, Captain Henricksen,
Hambro'-American Steam Navigation Company, which
quitted Cuxhaven on the 12th for New York, having 150
emigrants on board, was stopped by the frigate Gefion.
After the search was concluded, and it was as-
certained that there were no goods on board,
she was permitted to go on her course without further
molestation. Another account says that the com-
mander of the frigate told the captain that if he had had
goods on board he should have been obliged to seize his
vessel.—Baraburgh Borsenhalk, June 17.
.BRUSSELS, JUNE 17.—Belgium has again passed
through an important trial. The electoral reform had
doubled the number of electors, and the question
naturally arose, whether the electors would follow the
Retrograde, the Radical, or the Liberal party. The
answer, however, is clear and indubitable.
,The candidates of the Association Liberal° all had
from 4,600 to 5,500 votes, whereas the candidates of the
Alliance numbered scarcely from 3,000 to 8,000 votes.
The Retrogrades did not even appear on the scene of
action. The result of the scrutiny was everywhere an-
nounced amidst great acclamation. Some placards were
carried about with the words "No Republic." At Ant-
werp the victory of the Liberals was not less decisive.
The old Members were re-elected with 2,500 to 2,700
votes, while a Professor of the University of Lyons
who was a native of Antwerp, was unsuccessful, not-
withstanding the immense exertion of the Retrograde
party. At Athe Audenarde and Alost, the Liberals had
the upper hand, as well as at Charleroi and Courtrai,
and even in the city of Ghent, the place where above all
others great apprehensions were entertained from the ma-
chinations of the Radical party, they could number only
from 700 to 800 voters,while the Liberal Constitutionalists
were returned with 2,500 to 2,800 votes. At Lyons,
the head-quarters of the clerical party, the candidates of
the Retrogrades made a pitiful appearance. In Mechlin
they were left dead on the field of contest. At
Waremme, M. Eloyde Bardinne was expelled from his
clerical rotten borough, and replaced by the Liberal
candidate. At Liege the retiring Constitutional candi-
date was unanimously re-elected.—Cologne Gazette.
RENDSBURG.—There are at present in the various
hospitals the following number of sick and wounded
military:—Flensburg, wounded, 231; sick, 129; total,
360. Schleswig, wounded, 341, among whom are 13
officers; sick,'644, among whom are 3 officers; total, 985.
Rendsburg, wounded, 128, including 10 officers; sick,
325, including 4 officers; total 453. Altona, sick 485;
reconvalescents, 55 ; total 540. In Gluckstadt, 90;
Tondern, 30 ; total 2,4sB.—Huniburgh Borsenhalle,
June 17.

Foreign exchanges and bills were in great demand,
and paid high, London excepted.
BERLIN, JUNE 16.—Both in funds and in railway
shares the general indication was for a rise, and the ex-
change was somewhat higher.
FRANKFORT, JUNE 14.—A good deal of business was
transacted in the funds to-day. Austrian Shares, Five
and Two-and-a-Half per Cent., and Russian Loan were
in demand at higher prices.
HAMBURG'', JUNE 17.—There was a great stagnation
in the funds and in railway shares to-day.
VIENNA, JUNE 15.—The favourable report from the
army in Italy has had a benficial effect on our Bourse,
especially in railway shares. The general tone, how-
ever, was flat, though it recovered towards the clese of
the market.

In railway shares the Bixbach were in demand at
higher prices. No changes in any of the other funds.—

ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, DEPTIORD.--The annual
public distribution of medals and prizes amongst the
pupils who distinguished themselves at the late examina-
tions, took place on Tuesday at this institution, Admiral
Sir J. Ommaney presided in the place of Admiral
Bowles, whose absence was rendered necessary by his
being required to attend his Parliamentary duties.
There were several naval and other gentlemen in attend-
ance, as well as many ladies. The Chairman opened
the proceedings with an appropriate address to the boys,
pointing out to them the advantages to be derived from
the education which they received in this establishment,
and the distinctions which in after life they
might arrive
at, by a diligent and attentive pursuit of the studies
there laid down for them. The Secretary, Mr. Eames,
then read the reports of the different examiners, which
were highly favourable. The Rev. T. Chambers, head-
master, then distributed the prizes among the successful
candidates. The Chairman then congratulated the boys

of good conduct at the schools, and were
qualified by a certain amount of education, would be
transplanted to a soil where they might industriously,
honestly, and happily pass the remainder of their
days.—(Cries of ..Hear.") Lord Grey, the Colonial
Secretary, said to him (Lord Ashley) a few days ago,
" If you take care to attend to the moral training of
those children, imbue them with religious principles,
and give them a knowledge of some industrial occupa-
pation so as to fit them for labour, then I do not hesi-
tate to assert that the means at the disposal of the Go-
vernment will be employed to convey them to the
British possessions abroad." The report was read and
adopted, and the meeting separated.
THRTronD, JUNE 19 —A collision took
place at
the Thetford Railway station on Sunday morning last.
The up goods train was slowly moving out, when a
heavy cattle train came up at full speed, the driver not
observing the caution on Croxtoa-bridge. An awful
crash followed, by which the hindermost truck of the
above stationary train was dashed to atoms. Carriage
after carriage were broken and criven off the line, and
the havoc to a considerable distance was great, both lines
being strewed with fragments of broken carriages and
merchandise. The body of one of the trucks, which was
struck with such force as to detach it from its wheels,
was hurled to a great height above the other caraiages,
and thrown on its side upon the embankment
; when it
had found its resting-place eight men were seen emerg
ing from their perilous position, not knowing where they
were nor whither to betake themselves. The driver and
stoker of the bullock train rscaped with but slight injury;
they were, however, detained by the authorities, and
taken to London for an investigatton.—Bury pm,
