DR. KAHN on MARRIAGE.--A new and
entirely re-written Edition (the 4.5 th) of this celebrated
Treatise, with new Steel Plates, Woodcuts, &c., is now ready.
The object of the work is not to maintain any particular
hypothesis, but to enable every one to understand for himself
the structure and functions of the organs concerned in the
fulfilment of the physical obligations of the married state;
to acquaint him with the consequences arising from excesses ;
to prevent unnecessary misapprehension from unfounded
fears, and to indicate, when those fears are well founded, the
means of speedy relief. The work is not crowded with the
technicalities of ordinary professional books, nor does it pre-
sent the crudeness which characterises the so-called " popular
works" on the subject.

FRIDAY EVENING.--The funds have been gene-
rally steady to-day, at a fractional improvement,
but the tone of the market was less strong after
regular hours. The tendency to a relaipse was
chiefly in consequence of an aaire demand for
money, owing to the absorption taking place at the
Bank by the rapid increase of the reserve. The
return published this eveninfz chews a further large
augmentation not only in the reserve, but in the
bullion, end again denienttrates the impolicy of the
step recently taken) and which was in contraven-
tion of eVary principle by which the movements of
the rate of discount have hitherto been supposed to
be regulated. " Watch the of bullion and the
state of the resent" has been
stock
the invariable admoni-
tion since 1844; but, if a rapid improvement in
both is to be attended by the same results as Would
accompany a fall, there can be no Opportunity for
the exercise of distritaination. The only plea
attempted has been that the advance to 7 per cent,
failed to stop the drain of gold ; but this is entirely
erroneous, as the bullion and reserve were both
higher at the moment when the rate was raised to
8 per cent. than a few weeks previously, when 7
per cent: was considered sufficient by the Bank,
and more than sufficient by the public at large, who
looked to the -light of precedent. Moreover, the
extent of the subsequent further increase not only
shows that the drain had been arrested, but that the
tide had been efficiently turned, since no one will
believe that the results witnessed during the past
two weeks have been from the sudden change from
7to 8 per cent. If gold would have continued to
go out at 7 per cent., it would still have gone with
only diminished force at 8 per cent. Besides, if we
are to suppose that a movement of 1 per cent. could
so instantaneously bring in between £600,000 and
£700,000, it is clear that with so potent a remedy
always at their command there was no occasion for
the Bank to rush to ameasure of precaution while the
question of its necessity was in doubt. It is also to
be borne in mind that when the Bank went up to 8
per cent. no one had the slightest knowledge of the
increased American demand for gold that was about
to arise from the acceleration of cotton shipments
under the double apprehension of a blockade and an
export duty. If, notwithstanding these circum-
stances, the movement has been shown to be totally
unwarranted, the proof to that effect would have
been still more extraordinary had they not occurred;
and the policy or impolicy of an act must be judged,
not by subsequent accidents, but solely by the con-
siderations that existed when it was performed. It
was in reality, therefore, more strikingly indefen-
sible than it appears at this moment. Assuming
that, while the Bank are largely gaining bullion op
balance, the fact that we are sending heavy portions
of all the totals we receive to America is to be urged
as a reason for putting up the rate of discount, a
reason of that description will always exist. As
soon as we once more begin to get'remittances from
America we shall then, perhaps, be sending half-a-
million a fortnight to India and China. Hitherto
it has not been thought necessary to trouble our-
selves with anything but the question as to the
general result_ It was deemed sufficient if, on the
whole, more gold was coming in than going out--
a state of affairs which would have been viewed
with especial content if, as is now the case, even the
portion of our receipts which we were unable to
retain was being sent away, not to pay debts, but
to bring in unusual quantities of valuable produce
which we could hold available for realisation when-
ever we might consider it expedient, from the temp-
tation of profit or the suggestions of necessity.—
