Brr ON BovaPanTe.—A cui inus trial, ►n which
the Rev. IL Gilbert was plaintiff, and Sir M. M.
Sykes, Bart. M. P. defendant, came on at the York
Assizes, for the recovery of a bet on the life ef Bona-
parte ; the condition of which was, that t.'.-.e plaintiff
' on paying 100 guineas, should receive one guinea per
day so long as Bonaparte should live. Tile contract
had been performed on the, part of the plaintiff, and
for a considerable period, neatly 3 years, the defen-
dant continued to pay the stipulated sum. It was
contended on the part of the defendant, that the offer
made by Sir M. Sykes •' to receive 100 guineas to
pay one guinea a day during the life of Bonaparte,"
was a hasty expression in a moment of conviviality,
and anxiously caught by the Rev.. Divine, in the
language of any common five guineas better on a
race-course, who hailed him with-L-" Will you, Sir
Mark ? I'll take you—done !" Mr. Gilbert did, in-
deed, when he found_ the feeling of the company
against this bet say—" If you will submit, Sir Mark,
to ask it as a favour, you may be off.". Mr. TOP.
PING said, he should contend that the proposal of Sir
Mark was not meant as a serious bet ; and if this should
be the opinion of the Jury, he would be entitled to
a verdict ; but if it should be thought a real wager,
he should then submit soiae observations on the
law of the case, and contend that in the event of an
invasion an interest might be revealed in this wager 4
inconsistent with the public safety. " Putting the
case (said Mr. Topping), that Bonaparte should, at
the head of his army, succeed in effecting a descent
upon this country, it Is clear that the plaintiff would
have an interest in protecting that lite, which every
true subject and friend of his country would be inte-
rested in destroying ; he would have an annuity ef
365 guineas per annum depending upon the personal
safety of this inveterate enemy of our country. I
know not whether the Rev. Clergyman frequently at-
tends the Church, where we are conimanded to pray
for our enemies, but the plaintiff has a most cogent
motive for being devout in this part of the service—.
an interest.of s6s guineas a year." The Judge then
proceeded to state the evidence to the Jury, with his
observations upon it, leaving them to decide on the
fact—whether there was an intention of betting on the
part of Sir. Marle.Sykes, and reserving the point of
law. The Jury returned a verdict fur the defeadint.,-

JOCIA, I. HAPPINEtiS.
MARRIAGE should be the foundation of Social
Happiness, which is often disturbed through the parties
that form the union not taking those precautions which would se-
Cure them the enjoyment of that great domestic blessing. People
of every rank pay adoration to the shrine of wedlock; tint where
the constitution has been tainted by disease, or debilitated by a
certain habit contracted at an early age, a renovation of stability
previous to entering that state is indispensibly requisite to revive
the slumbering sparks of lite, and to reanimate the system. For
no disorders have contributed more essentially to destroy Hyme-
neal happiness than those which are the consequence of unguarded
pleasure. It was this consideration which indeced MOST*
CURRIE and Co. for these last twenty years, to direct their. stsis
dies and practice exclusively to the treatment and cure of the Vets
nercal Disease, and the disorders arising therefrom; as also to that
derangement of the system, produced by the destructive habit of
the inconsiderate school-boy, which brings on those distressing
Debilities and Deficiencies that prevent or embitter the Matri-
monial state. The successful result of their plan, gives them
additiortal ardour to oppose the ravages of these complaints,
which ire the most Important in the catalogue of human infit%-
mities. It bebovesevery person who bits indulged in this soli-
tary vice to seek relief by consulting Professional men of eml-
none and honour, to which Messrs. CURRIE and Co. claim
the sanction of scholastic authority, as well as the testimony of
uncontradicted facts. In professing the cure of these complaints
they hold out no Inducernert to vice • but sensible as all men
must be of the existence of such calamities, they offer their
a sistance as regularly educated Members of the Royal Colleges
of Surgeons of London and Edinburgh. Slight and recent
cases of Syphilitic infection are radically cured in the short
space of two days. Those of the most obstinate duration, such
as obstructions, inveterate strictures, pains of the bones, gleets,
&c. are pernianently and speedily cured. Several Noblemen and
Gentlemen of the first respectability have been under the care ci
Messrs. Currie and Co. for the removal of complaints of the ure-
thra, strictures, &c. and having received a radical and permanent
cure, request that references may be made to them as satisfactory
evidences of the decided, superiority of Messrs. Clinic and Co.'s
plan of treatment. Many of these gentlemen had strictures from
1 0 to 20 years, and were under the care of Messrs. Home, Hes.-
viside, and other surgeons of equal eminence, who attempted
their cure by the application of the lunar caustic, without success
Messrs. Currie and Co. lame selected the following letter from
the many they are daily receiving from gentlemen returning them
thanks for their restoration to sound and vigorous health. It was
sent to them unsolicited, from the son of a Noble Earl, who had
laboured under this distressing and painful malady for ten years:
he had been under the care of several surgeons of professional
eminence, none of whom afforded him permanent relief; but
from the superior mode of treatment adopted and pusiwed by
Messes. Crick and Co. be received a radical cure in the short
pace of one month.
