The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation iu Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being
is entitled.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there
are principles of personal management which cannot be violated
without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret
Famed the heyday of inconsideratl self-indulgence, how those pe-
nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be
removed, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided,
and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir-
mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science
cannot apply a cure.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

We are authorised to state that the accounts of the Great
Western Railway for the half-year to the 30th June, show
that a dividend of t per cent. per annum could be paid,
leaving a small balance over, but the directors will recom-
mend that no dividend be declared, and that the balance of
£37,000 be carried ocer to the next half-year.

Mr. Henry F. Stephenson, who arrived recently
with the Earl of Fife, at Duff House, died there on the
afternoon of Fiiday last, after a short illness. Mr. Ste-
phenson was at the dinner of the Banffshire Agricultural
Association on. Tuesday last. He continued in his
usual apparently excellent health up to the scorning of
Friday. The preceding day and evening be was in
excellent spirits, and retired to rest apparently quite well.
On Friday morning be bad an attack of indigestion, fur
which be bad medical advice, and took the usual reme-
dies. At about half-past two p.m., he was seized with
pain in the chest, and expired. Disease of the heart was
the directly fatal cause. Mr. Stephenson' married in
1826, Ludy Mary Keppel, daughter-of the late andan
of the present Earl of Albemarle. By his lady, w survives

IREIaND.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.
MIXED MARRIAGES.
The Tablet and
_Evening Mail are engaged in a warm
Controversy on the subject of mixed marriages. The dispute
originated in the denial by the Ultramontane ergan of
several statements made by the Mail in reference to the
recent union of- a Protestant nobleman with a Roman
Catholic 1 dy of high family. It will be recollected, as the
affair was noticed in these columns at the time, that the
lady married iu defiance of the laws of the Romish Church,
one of whose clergy had refesed to perform the ceremony
which was afterwards executed, however, by a minister
of her noble husband's faith. As there are some
new points brought out in the following article from
the Mail, it may be profitably introduced here :
" We have ben gently reprimanded by the Tablet for
supposing that in a I mut case of intermarriage between a
Protestant. and a Roman Catholic of high degree, without
the intervention of a priest.of Rome, Ultramontane auda-
city would deny that the parties were married at all, and
brand their union With a very odious name.' This our con-
temporary states to be "an error,' inasmuch the decree
of the Council of Trent, which requires for the validity of
marriage that it be celebrated in presence of the parish
priest, apples to marriages between Catholics, and not to
marriages where one or bath of the parties are members of
another confession.' We would bow to this correction if it
were not accnNpanied by the somewhat insolent reservation
that there is still a family disgrace' involved in the trans-
action alluded to. That is a strong and daring assertion
which makes the concession tithe mere legality of the mar-
riage tle worth. We shall offer no arnende, therefore,
to Ultramontane audacity,'.nor qualify our wards in any
manner, till we receive an explanation, not only of that
term disgrace,' hilt also of a rebuke which has lately
been alinhais'ered
.by a Ramis!' dignitary to a lady of his
' confession,' who had contgacted .such a marriage as
that to which this discu,sion refers. He told her, in
direct
wifeterms,reel
that Abe was her husband's concubine, not
his If that-was said without ecclesiastical authority,
it is scarcely possible to imagine regrosser instance of mitrid
ruffianism. But -if on the other- hand, double-tongued
casuistry can furnish up an excuse for such an outrage,
doubtless it will do so. Tee-refore, for the present. at least,
we shell stand to what we have said -as no mistake. The
Tridentine decree may not faunally condemn, and yet the
l'ope, whose interdict has been set at naught, may, through
his vassals, revile and calumniate. We shall wait to sea
how that will be before we retract anything. The condition,
sine qua non, on which, in private life, the Pontiff can
be mollified to license the marriage of a Protestant with
ever so distant a relative, or even no relative at all,
is frankly acknowledged by the Tablet. It cannot
be too well known to all of that denomination who
are conscientieusly attached t) their filth, and who desire
that, when they are passed away, V eir children may occupy
the same seats in the parish church, and kneel before the
same table where they have themselves partaken of the
mysteries and heard the pure Word of the Gospel. Let
Protestants, who respect their religion enough to wish that
it may be that of their household after them, pause before
bestoning their auctions irrevocably upon any subject of
the Papacy. It is no small price which they are required
to pay for a licence under that seal:-,' It is sufficiently no-
torious (sa)s the. Tablet), that not in Ireland only, but in
England too, marriages between Catholics and Protestants
arc forbidden by the Church, and only permitted when there
is an agreement that all the offspring of such unions shall be
brought up Cathslics. To the ideas of modern Protestant-
ism it may seem more grievous to enforce this law in the
case of a marquis than in the case of a cobbler; but, except
upon this theory, it is clear that our contemporaries have
felt too little 'repugnance to intrude upon the sanctuary
of private life,' and have heen too eager to publish the
history of a private family disgrace."

EDUCATIONAL STATE OF THE COUNTY MAYO.
The Ttfayo Constitution contains the following remark-
able paragraph :—" Will it be credited that in this great
county, with an area of 3,600 square miles, there is not a
school ? We understand by a school, a seminary for educa-
tion, conducted by a gentleman, who, having himself grad-
uated in some university, is ab'e to impart a liberal educa-
tion to his tstahlist;tnint where, in addition t)
the usual entrance course, comprising classics and science,
a sound English education can be had, embracing courses
of lectures on astronomy, mechanics, natural and experi-
mental philosophy, illustrated by the necessary apparatus.
,Mayoby a school ; and we assert that
there is no such institution.
This is is
the what we
o confines
means cf
What has been the consequence of this state of things ?
The restet has been that gentlemen, having no schools
within the county, have been obliged to send their sans to
the Isle of Man, Liverpool, Rugby, Dublin, Belfast, and
elsewhere; and those who were educated at the humbier
schools, being unable to pay for their sons at a distance,
are now obliged to let them grow up in ignorance. This
latter is no fancy sketch, for we are aware of the fact that
a public officer, within the last month, requiring to make
up cfficial returns, was unahle to obtain six writing clerks,
and had in despair to sit down to the desk himself.",

SULLIVAN, THE HORSE WHISPERER.
The Marquis of Waterford's protege, although not likely
ever to rival Rarey, is gradually working his way into noto-
riety. His noble patron seems very much interested in hint,
and has already assisted materially in extending his reputa-
tion. In the Cork Reporter of yesterday, Suliivan's
"operations" are tl.us noticed :—" Sullivan has operated a
second time at the establishment of Messrs. Olden, V.S.
Several gentlemen attended, and amongst them were some
who hal been pupils of Rarey. It appears that our curt•.
tryman's method is in every respect equal, and in many par-
ticulars superior to that of the American horse-tamer. We
saw him without strap or. extraneousaid, even without a
whip, knock down a vicious mare, loin years old; and so
much does this seeming a?pliance of force depend ou slight
and skill, that Mr. Dclacour, of Fairy-bill—a gentleman
now full of years, whom we need not stay to describe, as he
is universally well known through our county, where his
name Is ever accompanied with good will and respect—
boldly undertook and succeeded in the same process. The
secret is entirely practical and dependent upon proper
manipulation; and it way vet), generally propounded as an
admirable undertaking that ' the Whisperer' should take
some large building, such as the Mary-street Circus, and
operate there, at a moderate rate of admission, so that all
the grooms and persons having care cf horses might, for
their own safety and that of the animals, learn how to sub-
due them with certainty and ease."

THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF STRADBROOK.
The Tipperary Examiner says :—" Preparations on a
large scale are being made by-the tenantry to welmme the
arrival of the Earl and Countess of Stradbrook, who are
expected here this week after a long absence."

SCENE AT A ROMAN CATHOLIC LECTURE IN WIGAN
—Early in the week the town of Wigan was placarded with
announcements that a lecture would be delivered in St.
John's Catholic schoolroom, on Tuesday evening, by Dr.
S. W. Ruftner, the subject being " The Holy Scrip ores."
On Tuesday morning, however, a second placard was ci:cu-
lated through the borough, headed " Romish Frauds,"
stating that Dr. S. W. Kuttner (so cal'ed), who was to de-
liver a lecture that evening, had been proved " an impostor,"
and directing the public to read a pamphlet a ritten by the
Rev. W. A. Darby, M.A., incumbent of St. Luke's, Man-
chester, in which the imposition he (Dr. K u 'vier) was prac-
tising upon the public was thoroughly exposed. As might
have been expected, this caused considerable excitement
in the town ; and, notwithstanding that 3d 61., arid Is.
were the paces of admission, the room, capable of Lo!ding
from 400 to 500, became well filled by a promiscuous
audience, the greater portion of whom were Catholics.
Shortly before the hour of commencing. several of the
Protestant clergy and Dissenting
a position near the
ministers cf the
town entered the room, and took
platform; amongst them being the Rev. W. T. White-
head, incumbent of St. Catharine's. About ten minutes after
eight o'clock, the lecturer, accompanied by the Revs. Thos.
Seed and H. M‘Corrnick, Catholic priests, entered the room,
amidst tremendous shouting and cheering by the audience.
As was announced on the placard, the Rev. Thomas Seed
presided, and in a few remarks, requested the audience to
give the lecturer a patient hearing, and stated that it was
very wrong to put out the placard winch had been circulated
through the town, the first words of which (" Romish
Frauds") were falsehoods, and calculated to give pain and
cause disturbance. lie then called upon the lecturer, but
before he could speak, the ministers all rose, and the Rev. W.
T. Whitehead (having paid I s. far admission) protestedon his
and their behalf, against :be remarks of the chairman, and
stated that the bill contained nothing that was false. These
remarks were nearly drowned with hisses and bootings from
the Catholic portion of 'the audience. On Mr. Whitehead
still persisting to speak, several roue ii..looking fellows rushed
from the bottom of the room tb .the platform, and with a
very threatening air menaced the reverend' gentleman and
the other ministers with him.- The meeting became con-
fused. The ladies near tire platform rushed out at a private
door, whilst the men became more unruly. Words ran high,
and the scrambling and confusion, which lasted for some
minutes, beggars all description. The police having been
sent for were met on their entrance by deafening cries of
"Turn them (the ministers) out." Order having once more
VV. T. Whitehead was allowed, by
to say a few words, in which
btheeenrestored,
permission tohfettre Rev.
chairman,
he promised to listHi quietly to what the lecturer had to say
until the close, when he hoped the opportunity would he
afforded him of rebutting the lecturer's statements. Dr.
Kut tiler then proceeded, amidst considerable noise and inter-
e ruption, Scriptures. A similar

the help of the police, rs:isted by the Rev. H. M'Cormick
(who brandishe4 a large stick in front of the more
turbulent portion of the audience) and others, the
consequences Inuit have been very serious, Before
the lteturer had finished, the excitement became general,
and on the chairman declaring, amidst great noise, that the
meeting was over, a tremendous uproar ensued. The Pro-
testant ministers, the lecturer, priests, police, and audience,
all became mixed up in one mass of confusion, and a per-
fect melee was the ro:ult. Jn additioo to the destruction of
clothing, many persons must have been much injured by
being knocked about. One man was bleeding profusely from
the mouth, having received a blow in the Contest. The
excitement was very great, the streets being crowded; and
it was only through the protection of the police that the
minister, the lecturer, and his party g. 4 safely home. So
great was the excitement and commotion during the meet-
ing, that the reporters, who occupied a table near the plat-
form, had more than once to escape into some corner of the
roam for safety, whilst their table and chairs became re-
peatedly overturned in the .confusion which ensued.—
