" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

35 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's Patriot—take 40 to 1
40 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's Ould Ireland—taken
Repeated offers to back Obscurity had the effect of placing
her at the top of the list of favourites, but without, that we
are aware of, leading to a single engagement, Semiseria
and Cataract succeeding her at 11 to 1 each, but not in much
request. 16, 15, and 14 to 1 was laid against The Era at
different periods of the betting, and 25, 22, and 20 to 1 agst
Winesour, the smaller odds in each case being the closing
ones. Ratan, Pride of Kildare, Queen of Tyne, Portrait, and
Patriot, were in some favour, but from the slackness of busi-
ness were only backed for small sums.

RAPID TRAVELLING.—We understand that swift
trains are likely to be started very shortly, which will.per-
form the distance from London to Liverpool, and from Liver-
pool to London, in six hours. The present idea is that these
trains should leave London and Liverpool about three o'clock
p business, thu s giving parties time to get through a good day's
and conveying them a couple of hundred miles, in
either direction, by nine o'clock in the evening —Liverpool
PaP9'.
