'Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
Thar honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. •
SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so enrap-
tured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew
to their wives, and the re hastened to be,wedded ; and ' The
Speetator" has affirnial that the word" wife" is the most agreeable
and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the dreads-
ratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness on
earth, but disposing the sold Itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passion:, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free.,
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless in-
stances, which, while they excite the commiseration- of the be-
holdern should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Litiuious habits will effetninize the body—a residence in the tro-
pics will' relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does Ile pre-
mature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural
dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized std-
fern more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, this,

MURDER • OF: MR. WEAR E.
THURSDAY, DEC. 4.

HERTFORD, itSDAN,
The Assizes for the County of Hertford commenced
this morning. The expected trial of John Thurtell,
Joseph Hunt, and William Probeit, for the murder of
Mr. Weare, has produced an extraordinary inflox of
visitors, many of whom have come from distant parts
of the country. The demand for beds and other ac-
commodation has inconsequence been immense, and we
believe that beds cannot now be procured at•any price.
Those who had the foresight to secure Ipdgirigs in the
early part of the week, have only been able to do so at
very unusual charges. Five guineas have commonly
been given for two bed; chambers and at sitting-room Pot
the two days which it is anticipated the trial will last. '
On his way, to the A4l of Verulanitytterday, the
Bherikvisited Mrs. 'Probeit, at St: ,witt) '
thatatteastiqvc Affer her any additionalikooreniodtion
of vilkil,sfrilisight stand in need. She ezpi;essed her
sense of the kindness with which, under all the circnin-
stances, she has been treated. but declined the offer of
lute High Sheriff to be the bearer of any letter or mes-
sage she, might think proper to send to her husband.
Mrs. Probert looked well, and was in good spirits ; she
will arrive here this evening.
PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMEN
• ,Mr. HARikait arrived at an early hour, and having'
his. arrangements completed, submitted them to his
Client, Hunt, who expressed his satisfaction'with every
thing that had been done on his behalf. The prepara-
'tions for the prosecution are on the most extensive scale,
the case has been got up in the most elaborate man-
.An instance of the circumspection and minute
Ilahtintf that have been exercised on the part of the pro-
secution may be stated. At the sale at Gill's-hill Cot-
tage,the gig, in which the murdererswere said to have
passed the lane, Was purchased by Mr. Britt, of St.
Alban's, and bought afterwards from him by Mr. Gut-
teridge, the auctioneer. The gig, however, was not de-
livered, and a few days since it was 'procured by the
Sclieitors for the prosecution, for the purpose of being
driven along the line of road which the persons who
-were in it en the fatal night are supposed to have taken.
This has been done with. the view of ascertaining to a
moment the quantum of time that would be expended
in going from one point of the road to another. The
gig and horse were brought here this day, and it is sup-
posed will be used in the course of the evidence.
Thomas Thurtellarrived at the jail of this town yes-
terday evening, purseans to the Habeas Corpus for that
purpose directed to Mr. Wontner. Immediately or: his
arrival he expressed a wish to see his brother, but the
visiting Magistrates having retired for the •day, Mr.
Wilson, the Governor, did not feel himself authorised
to grant the request. John Thurtell's indifference re-
specting his fate is absolutely appalling. A celebrated
spotting character, in conformity with the general indul-
gence, was permitted tomisit the prisoners, and saw John
Thurtell for a short time. .Tburtell received him with
great cordiality and with pet feet-non-4Ela nee. He dis-
played the same careless and undaunted air • by which
he has been characterised .from the first, and laoghed
with as much good humour as if he were in no respect
concerned in the approaching proceedings. The indi-
vidual to whom we allude, in speaking of Thurtell's
condition; says he is " as fine as a star ;”, in fact he never
saw him in better health in his life.
The trial of Thurtell and: Hunt will come on first to-
morrow morning. The Learned Judge who is to prd-
side proposes tb adjourn at five o'clock in the evening;
to resume at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, and
continue to sit until the Jury shall have returned their
verdict, even should the proceedings tun into Sunday--1-
a matter, the legality of which some of those learned in
the law had doubts ' • but it has been deteemisted,lhat
although the trial of a criminal•cannot be Connitenee4,
it may be continued or.coocheded upon the Sabbath.
AnurVAti VHS *MIDGES.
At nine o'clock the High gbetiff, in his Carriage, at.
tended by his Chaplain, the Rev: Mr. Lloyd, went fo
in the usual state to 'meet the Judges on their approach
to the wain. He viai accompanied by 20 javelio men,
attired in his family livery, on horseback, and two
trumpeters. The cavalcade met their Lordships about
three miles on the road north of the town, when the
Judges immediately alighted from their own travelling
carrtagei and entered that of the High Sheriff, and were
thus' onducted to the Court. An immense crowd was
assembled tOwitness the Procession.
Hms-rear TWeLve..—The Judges opened the Com-
mission at a quarter past ten ; after which they pro-
ceeded to Church.
THE SERMON.
The Rev. Mr: Lloyd preached a sermon upon the
of Proverbs, former part of the 26th verse.
a The righteous matt is more excellent than his neighbour." The
lieu. Gentleman explained the intention of this aphorism as tending
