That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is
ensured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend-
ship," is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
which, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association
with celestial iotelligeoee."
Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of
marriage, it becomes an impressive duty, not only to regulate the
passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasare may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attentioo,are attributable many of thosekapless instances,
which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should
also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will Meng:dee the body—e residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre---but more especially does the pre-

MEETING AT KENNINGTON COMMON.

The anticipations indulged by Mr. Hunt, of having a grated popular
display at Bennington Common yesterday, were4grievomly daily.
policed, and (to speak in the language_ of the ring; the whole " affair'
canna" a miserable failure. The professed object of the meeting
was two-fold; first, to congratulate the French people upon the asset.
, dos of their freedom, and in the next place to move ea Address to his
Majesty William the Fourth, entreating him to sanction Radical Re-
-1 form' and discard the councils of the Aristocracy, no matter whether the
'members of that body were Whigs or Tories. In the course of the morn-
ing muumuu stragglers of the lowest and most suspicious appearance
were seen sauntering along the road in front of the Horns Tavern,
while the " Committee of Management," composed of the well-known
politickl declaimers who spout occasionally at the Mechanics' Institute,
wen assembled at an adjacent pot-house, called the White Bear, where
all the necersary arrangements were made amidst fop of tobacco and
potadons of porter. About half-past twelve o'clock the vehicle of Mr.
Hunt's blacking was seen advancing in grand state, decorated with a
tri-coloured Bag, and having on one side a board graced with similar an.

when Mr. Hunt himself, the great actor in the scene, drove down in his
gig, he wee greeted by the partial shouts of nearly 3,000 individuals,
all of a character and costume quite enough to horrify my Gard Grey
In his jealousy of kis " order." Mr. Hunt's van, conveying the
Members of the Committee, and accommodating the gratter number
of the different Reporters for the Public Press, and others, then
proceeded from the White Bear to the Common. Each succeeding
moment now brought fresh accessions to the assemblage ; but during
the whole of the proceedings the number never once exceeded 8,000,
though Mr. Hunt had the confidence to assert that at least 00,009 were
present. So soon as the van had taken up a convenient position, Mr.
liunt, as the Chairman, presented himself to the meeting, and requested,
that there might be no interruption. at the same time pointing to an in.
dividual iu the crowd, and saying, " There is one man offensively
smoking his pipe, and I see he smokes everybody else." Upon this the
person alluded to immediately desisted, and the Chairman cried out—
"He is very kind—he has put it down." (" Bravo. Hunt!") After
going into much groundless and irrelevant matter, Mr. Hunt stated the
immediate object of the meeting.
Mr. GRADE then moved a resolution expressive of the sympathy of
the meeting in the glorious struggle by which the French people bad
vindicated their rights and liberties, describing it as a victory such as
had never before blazoned the page of history. (" Oo it, Frenchman !")
I ant not a Frenchman—but, after what has occurred, I should glory
in being one. 1 tell you what I am, and then you will know that lam
a lover of freedom. lam an Irishman—(" Bravo, Irishman ! Go it,
Paddy I")
„Dr. ALEIANDEIt Tnoxraox rose to second the resolution. He
exhorted the assembly to peace and good order, and calmly to consider
the propositions which should be laid before them, and to propagate the
sentiments inculcated by the motto exhibited to than—namely, "A
love of liberty, founded upon peace, good.will, and unity of purpose."
He seconded the resolution which had been just proposed, because he
was proud of the valour, the calmness, the precision, the noble, learned,
and scientific disinterestedness of the young men of Pads. It was said
that the artisans of Paris alone threw themselves before the cannon's
mouth—that they alone had come to the scratch ; but this was not
true. Young men of education, and not older than himself, had led on
the hoary and unwashed artificen in the glorious struggle for liberty.
He then commented upon the prog and effects of the late revolution
in France, and concluded by seconding the resolution, which was carried
by a show of hands.
Mr. Cuttivw read an address from the middle and working classes of
the metropolis to the corresponding classes in Paris, congrstufsdng diem
upon their recent successful struggle.
Mr. Levert's begged to impress upon the assembly the three ime
portant facts presented by the French Revolution—namely, first, the
strength and power of the people ; second, the little that was to be
expected from those who were called moderate Reformers; and, third,
that something more than a limited monarchy was necessary to secure
the happiness of the people. He wished that the people would recol.
lect those three important facts, in order that, if a revolution should
happen, they might know how to manage them for their owed advantage
With these sentiment, he moved the adoption of the Address which has
been just read.
Mr. MURPHY said that when communities were oppressed it was
natural and just and proper, that they should sympathise with each
other. This was, therefore, no improper interference on the part of
the meeting;—it was their duty, as Christians and as freemen, to
sympathise with their fellow-men upon their achievements in the
cause of liberty; and, in endeavouring to secure the same blessing
for themselves, it was not for the people to rely upon the press, or
upon any other power, but to act with energy, temperance, and pro-
priety, in the assertion of their rights. He secondetieitddress.
Mr. SAVAGE commended the exertions of the French people, and ex-
pressed his gratification at every thing that could tend to curb the op.
passion of the Aristocracy, and to extend the liberties of the people.--
He was confidently persuaded that William the Fourth, assisted by the
orderly and loyal support of the people, would sweep away the Aristo-
cracy which oppressed them. He then adverted to the difficulties of the
labouring clams, and concluded with the remark that a Government
which would not exert itself to redraw the grievances of the people ought
to be swept from the face of the earth.
Mr. WAT3OI urged the people to use all legal and honourablemesna
to preserve the station in society to which they were entitled, and to
secure for themselves those comforts to which their industry gave them
a just claim.
The Address was then adopted with acclamation, and nine cheers
were given for the brave people of Paris.
Mr. Howe, in moving the Address to the King, said that the coun-
try had Dow a Sovereign who could walk on two legs, like any other man.
The fact was, that the people of England bad been so long in the habit
of seeing a sort of nondescript animal, who was neither man nor
beam, that they were quite astonished at the change, and had almost
become King mad. (Cheers and laughter.) He (Mr. H.) had left
Brighton only yesterday, and had there seen him shaking hands with
several persons in the most familiar manner. We had, moreover,another
novelty—a Queen, who acted as other Queens had been accustomed to
act in former times. She walked about like other women, and be had
seen her riding on a fine white horse—(" Bravo I") In fact, both
the King and Queen did everything to make themselves beloved by &c
people, and had completely succeeded. Wherever misery was to be miti-
gated, or distress relieved, they were always found with a feeling heart
and open hand. (Cheers.) When the King went to Brightou, instead
of being escorted by thousands of mercenaries, he said, " My guards
shall be my people; I have done nothing to injure the people, and I am
sure the people will do nothing to injure me." The consequence was, that
he was attended by 40,000 of his subjects, among whom there was not so
much as one policeman. (Continued cheers.) Shortly after his Majesty's
arrival, and upon the first occasion of his going into his garden, he
saw a man standing there, with a bayonet stuck at the end of his
musket. The King at once called out to hint, and said, "Oh! my
good fellow, what brings you here?" The addict answered by stating
that the troops were ordered to attend, both there and elsewhere, when.
ever the King was at Brighton. " Then," ?awned his Majesty, "you
may go home to your barracks, for I can take care of tnyself"—
(" Bravo ! that's the man we want.") In like manner his Majesty
gave directions that the high wall should be thrown down which had
been raised in front of the Pavilion—raised, it would appear, for Do
other purpose than to conceal the foul deeds which had been so long
going on within. His firm belief was, that the King, supported by the
people, would be enabled to get entirely rid of the base set, whether
Whigs or Tories, who had so long proved themselves the curse of the
couutry—(churn.)
After various other speeches were made, the resolutions in favour of
the Address was carried, and a round of nine hearty cheers given to his
Majesty.—Hera/d.

JUVENILE MAGN•NIMIT T.—A lad Was recently called
before the Police Court, for throwing a stone which struck a little girl
in the eye. The respectability of the parties excited considerable 7n.
wrest, and drew many persons to hear the examination. The boy was
bound to appear in the Municipal Court, and Colonel M. was
as his Counsel. Soon after use examination another boy, aboutltit
yearsof age, called upon the Counsellor afosesald, and asked, " Sir,
are you engaged to defend ----r " Yes, 1 am ; but why do you
ask ?" To which the little fellow replied, with honesty worthy of his
immortal grandfather, " because, Sir, 1 threw the stone, and cannot
suffer a comrade to be punished far a crime of my own commission."
" Well done—you are a fine boy ; what is your name ?" My name
" Well," said the Counsillor, admiring the noble.
lwartedneas of the lad, " will you tell the County Attorney that you
committed the act PH " Yea, Sir," said he, and immediately went to
Coked Austin's oMee for that purpose. The Mends of the injured
girl, on learning these particulars, declined taking any further steps in
the affair.—Awierieun Paper.
