Domus et platens utor.
Thy ?souse and !liaising wife.
SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en.
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men
flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded ;
and a The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word wife is the most
agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution,
then, of marriage, compasses the desideratum of our enjoyment,
teeming not only with happiness on earth, but disposing the soul
itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. l'revious, however, to
entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative
duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser
nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted
pleasure may have entailed on it. To the neglect of such atten-
tion are attributable many of those hapless instances, which,
while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body, a resideace in the
Tropics will relax the elastic fibre, but more especially does the
premature kffiduatkm of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago-
nised sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all
such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muss.
tar strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable,
sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years
successful experience. The easy cares of married life are some-
times disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which con-
centrate the nuptial wreath; for the female habit is often siemoli.,
tutionally weak, yet it can be strengthened, and deficieneessergy
improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every re:ax-
ation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure
speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the un-
feeling empyric from the position so presumptuously taken up,
we deviate from general principles with less hesitation; and con-
fident in our own hiinottrable integrity, as Members of the Col.
lege at Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either
saw y those entering into matrimonial life), at once to
oar where daily attendance is given for personal consul-
tation, and letters from the country are immediately answered;
these must contain a remittance for :Alice and medicine, which
can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

For the first time these six weeks past, we can
refer, As ith satisfaction, to some judicial proceed-
ings in the neighbourhood of Manchester. We allude
to the proceedings of the Adjourned Coroner's In-
quest, held at Oldham, on the body of LEES. The
conduct of Mr. FERRAND, the Coroner, was correct
and impartial, and calculated to convince the Country
that still there are men in that quarter who respect
the laws which they are called upon to administer.
The proceedings will be perused with interest by all
our Readers.
We wish, heartily, that we could bestow equal
commendation on some other proceedings that have
taken place in that quarter. We have never heard
nor read any of the Rev. Mr. ETIIELSTONE'S sermons,
but if they exhibit the same mild and placid spirit,
the same benignity and spirit of mercy and patience
by which some of his judicial oratory is distinguished,
they must prove highly improving and edifying !
The Coroner's Inquest summoned on Friday by
Mr. MILNE, to pronounce upon DALTON'S death, was
adjourned for a week. Some striling circumstances
attended the meeting of that Jury, and may be sus-
pected of having produced the otherwise strange de-
termination of the CORONER. Mr. HARMER teas
there. The Report we give is worthy of attention.

A good deal of anxiety is felt about the result of the
proceedings at the Common Hall, on Wednesday
next. That the Meeting will be a stormy one no-
body seems to doubt. We noticed on Saturday( that
the " only good men and true," had had a closet
muster of their strength on Friday, at the London
Tavern; and to-night we find, there is to be " an
open and I'ublic Meeting," at the Globe Tavern, Of
those who call themselves, and we believe do form,
the major part of the Livery, and, who are deter-
mined " to defeat the premeditated attempt of a
Secret Junta to deprive the Livery of their rights,
and to degrade the City of London to the level of
the rottenest Borough, of the most base and corrupt
Boroughmongers."
- It is not a little singular that a question of the
very same nature as that which the LORD MAYOR
and his friends intend, according to general rumour,
to put to the test on Wednesday, led to the enact-
meat of that great bulwark of English liberty—the
Habeas Corpus Act. At the election of Lord Mayor,
in 1679, one FRANCIS JENKES, a Common Council-
man, insisted on entering into the consideration of
certain public grievances, previous to going into the
Election. Neither the Lord Mayor, nor the Sheriffs,
nor the Recorder, nor the Common Serjeant presumed
to tell him that he had no right to do so; and, with the
approbation of the Livery, he went at length into the
subject of the grievances of which he complained.--
His speech was one of great ability and modera-
tion ; but it appears that the ComMON-SERJEAST, get-
ting heated with wine after dining at the Mansion
house, gave a most dismal representation, of its im-
port tb some members of the Government. The con-
sequence was, that JENKES was apprehended on a
warrant issued by the Privy Council, of which the
following is a copy :
" Whereas it appears to his M;%jesty in Council, by the exami-
nation of Sir THOMAS GOULD, Sir Jouu SHOIT6I, Knights, She-
riff's of the City of London, Jouu WELLS, Common Crier of the
said City, and Joint GREEN, one of the Attornies of the Lord
Mayor's Court, taken upon oath before the Lord' Chief Justice,
Rautsroan, that Francis Jenkcs, of the said City, Linen draper,
did, on 24th of this Instant, June, at a Common Hall, then
assembled at the Guildhall of the said City, for choosing Officers
fur the ensuing year, in a most seditious and mutinous manner,
openly move and stir the persons then present, that before they
did go on to the choice of new Officers (which was the only
occasion of that Assembly), they should go to the Lord Mayor,
and desire him to call a Common Council, that might make an
Address to his Majesty, in the name of the City, to call a new
Parliament. And whereas the said Francis Jenkes, being now
tailed in, and heard before his Majesty in Council, was so far
from denying or extenuating his offence, that he did, in a pre-
'sumptuous and arrogant manner, endeavour to justify the lame.
'these are, therefore, t, command you to take into your custody
the body of the said Francis Jenkes, herewith sent you, and him
to keep safely until he shall be delivered by doe course of law;
for which this shall he your warrant.—Dated at the Council
(*Limber, in Whitehall, this 28th day of June, 1676.

J EN K ES made repeated efforts to be brought to trial,
but without effect. lie was told by the LORD CHAN..
tatm.un, that lie might obtain his liberation ehe would

make his submiasion in tke proper quarter, but that hie'
wanted to get through with a high hand. This sturdy
citiien would not, however, submit, and he was at
length liberated, without being brought to trial—a
clear and evident proof that he had committed no
offence whatever against the laws of his country.
[. The gross outrage to which the liberty of English-
men had been thus subjected in the person of JENKES,
is allowed by all our Historians to have been the
main cause which led to the i► troduction, shortly
afterwards, of the Habeas Corpus Act.
It will hardly be contended that the Livery of
London have less freedom of discussion now than
they had in the reign of CHARLES 11. and since it
was pronounced an act of gross oppression then to
punish a Liveryman for exerting his right of express-
ing his opinions in Common Hall duly assembled,
we can scarcely bring ourselves to imagine that any
Magistrate or Officer will dare, at the present day, to
revive a pretension so long ago solemnly exploded.

The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have
arrived since our last.

The Duchess of BERRY and her young daughter,
both, continue in the most satisfying state.
It is said that the Ministers, mortified at the result
of the late Elections, have it in contemplation to sub-
mit a Project of Law proposing certain changes in
the Charter, on the opening'of the next Session of the
Chambers.

A traveller recently arrived from :Martinique, re-
ports that, the President BOYER, of Hayti, had mani-
fested an earnest desire to enter Into a Treaty with
France.

The yellow fever in the Isle of Leon is making
most destructive progress. From the Ist to the 20th
of August, 105 persons fell victims to it; from the
20th to the 51st the number of deaths was 545; and
during the first four days of this month no less than
Ib2 persons perished.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night, and Dutch'
and Hamburgh Mails this morning. Our limits per-
mit us only to notice the most prominent articles
which they present.
Accounts from Madrid mention, that the English
Government has renewed its proposal to the Court
of Spain, to obtain upon certain conditions, the ces-
sion of the Island of Cuba. The correspondence be
tween London and Madrid is exttemely active at this
moment, which seems to indicate that highly impor-
tant negotiations are on foot, but they are involved
in mystery, and we must wait with patience till time
shall discover the secret.

From Strasburgh, the 17th instant, it is stated,
that a great number of Jewish families had arrived
within a tew days preceding at Haguenau and at
Weissemburg, with the intention of seeking safety
and protection in France.—The treatment which the.
Jews now experience in various parts of Germany,
is disgraceful to the age in which we live, and ought
every where to be reprobated by a liberal and en-
lightened Press.

The world will be grieved to hear that the veteran
hero, Field-Marshal Prince &maga, paid the debt
of nature on the 12th instant, at 19 minutes past ten
o'clock, P.M. at his seat in Silesia. On account of
this melancholy news, at Berlin, the KING issued
orders that the whole Army should go into mourning
for eight days. The KING visited the hero on his
death-bed, and was much affected. He died in his
77th year.

Saturday noon, the PRINCE REGENT landed at
Portsmouth, from his pleasure yacht, and imme-
diately set off for Brighton, where his Royal High-
ness arrived the same evening, in excellent health and
spirits. Last night his ROYAL HIGHNESS, accompa-
nied by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, arrived at
Carlton-House.

The Prince LEOPOLD and suite spent the early
part of Tuesday at Stirling ; arrived at Edinburgh
on Wednesday afternoon, and in the evening went to
the Theatre, accompanied by the LORD PROVOST, the
LORD ADVOCATE, Lord ROBERT KERR, Admiral
OTWAY, General HOPE, and Sir PATRICK WALKER.
Tuesday the Duke of HAMILTON, the Duchess,
their son, the now Marquis of DOUGLAS, and Lady
SUSAN, their daughter, arrived at Hamilton Palace,
for the first time since his Grace attained the title of
Duke. _ _ -_ _

MEETING NEAR MAXWELTOWN.
; On the 17th instanti a numerous and respectable
Meeting was held upon the Corbelly Hill; near the
Borough of Maxweltown, by Dumfries, to record
their sentiments on the barbarous slaughter and maim-
ing of men, women, and children, at Manchester—to
adopt measures fur their relief, and to consider the
best means of providing for their own defence, in
case the iron hand of despotism should reach so far.
,Mr. JOHN PATTERSON, innkeeper, Maxweltown, al-
though a Yeomanry Cavalry-man, was unanimously
called to preside ; when Mr. Papas addressed the
Meeting in nearly the following words:
Getmestes--The duty imposed upon me, at
this time, is both painful and pleasing. It is, in-
deed, truly painful when we cast our eves upon a
neighbouring kingdom, and behold a peaceful and
suffering multitude, met, as we are, to mourn over
weir public afflictions, and supplicate the pity of their
Rulers—to behold, I say, this peaceful multitude
assailed and butchered by a merciless banditti, in-
stigated and directed by men of still less feeling--
But I turn from the melancholy theme to one of a
more pleasing nature. It is extremely gratifying to
behold, even in this retired corner of our island, so
respectable and numerous a Meeting assembled, for
the noble purpose of discussing our rights and privi-
leges, and of proclaiming aloud to the world, that,
spite of the shuddering scenes that men of despotic
views have brought to view at Manchester, Britons
are yet free— yes, .nd I hope, we are ready to seal
our freedom with our blood, if circumstances should
call upon us to make the sacrifice."
The following Resolutions were then read and ap-
proved:

1. Resolved—That a subscription be set on foot instantly. for
the relief of those persons who suffered by the wanton brutality
of the Manchester Yeomanry.
2. That Meetings shall be frequently held on this place, for
the express purpose of consulting by what means we, as a free
people, may avoid tyrannical oppression.
S. That it is our wish that 311 Meetings may dismiss peaceably
unless we are assaulted—then it is expected every man will exert

himself in the ewe of Right and Freedom.

The Meeting then peaceably dispersed.
MEETING AT DRIGLINGTON.

Wednesday last, a Meeting was held at Drigling-
ton, to promote a Radical Reform, and to censure
the proceedings of the Manchester Magistrates. Mr.
MASON, of Little-London, was called to the Chair,
and the Meeting was addressed by Mr. WILLAN, of
Dewsbury, and by a Mr. SMITHSON, who gave a
minute detail of his escape from the most imminent
danger, on the 16th of August, at Manchester.--
Music, flags, and females, were present, and height-
ened the effect. A subscription was made for the same
purpose as that at Leeds, amounting to £2 4s. 2d.
and non-consumption Resolutions were passed,
