Domus et placers nror.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
QOCRATES, by his discourse on marriage, so en
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men new to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be
wedded ; and " 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 hap-
piness on earth, hut disposing the soul itself to harmonize
with bliss hereafter.

Hon.

Previous. however, to entering into this hallowed obliga-
tion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only I. regulate the
passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those im-
purities, which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention 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 effeininize the body—a residence in
the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially
does the premature Infatuation of youth too frequently com-
promise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from
whence the agonized sufferer more thin doubts the chance of
relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering
hope—energy—muscular 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 sometimes disturbed
by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the
nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally
weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im-
proved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every
relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability
to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous tb
expel the unfeeling empyric from the position so presumptu-
ously taken up, we deviate from general principles with less
hesitation; and confident in our own honourable integrity as
Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering
community of either sex (especially those entering into ma-
trimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance
Is given for personal consultation , and letters from the
country are immediately answered ; these mast conta:o a
remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded
to any part of the world, however distant.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-IVgDNESDAY, Fes. 19.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from se-
veral persons in 'he eoutry of Essex. praying that cheap
Courts might be established fur the reeovrry of small
debts.

Lord DARNLEY presented a petition from New Mal-
ton, in the county of York, praying for the repeal of the
Insolvent Debtors' Act.

Mr. Upprrton, from the Commissioners of Shoreham
Harbour, presented certain accounts.

40V.S.

The Bishop of CHESTFAt called theattention of their
Lordships to a notice which he ha I given during the last
Session of Parlia7nent, of his intention to bring in a Bill
to repeal a certain part of the Act of George 11. respect-
ing marriages. The object ashich he had at that time,
and still hail in view, was to give greater facilities and
publicity to marriages than now existed ; and that was
to be afforded by alloaing banns to he published and mar-
riages to he solemnized Intel eh 4pels and tither places of
worship under the jarisificti,in of the Church of vngland,
so that parties might have i• in their power to be merricd
in the places where they lived, whin ut being obliged to
go to a great distance, as was often the case in many
parts of the country. fir hoped that the Noble Loris
who were now sitting in a Committee on the sultiett of
the Marriage Act, would intro:lure a clause into the new
Bill to provide for wl.at he now recomm ended, and if they
did not, he gave notice that he should move a clause for
that purpose when the Bill should c. me to he discussed
in a Committee of the House.

Lord AUCKLAND presented a petition from an indi-
vidual who formerly possessed the power of granting
marriage licenses, and who complained that the saute had
been taken from him by the late Act.
The Archbishop of CAN I'EItBURY observed that the
late Act lied taken away from Surrogates the power of
granting licences, and that the withdrawing of that power
immediately followed the passing of the Act. These per-
sons, however, being ignorant of that clause in the Act,
did continue to grant licenses for marriages ; which were
certainly contrary to law. Ile now hod to present a Bill
to their Lordships, the object of which was to indemnify
those persons for having thus granted licenses contrary
to law, and to render valid all marriages that had been
solemnized by virtue of such licenses. his Grace then pre-
sented the Bill, which was read a first time.
Lord SID%IOUTH presented a petition front the Arch-
deaconry of Norwich, against the marriage Act of last
Session.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. BItOWNLOW presented a petition for certain
inhabitants of the County of Armagh, cotnplaining that
an establishment of Jesuits existed in Ireland, and that
all the outrages committed in the southern parts of that
country were attributable to tbeir influence. It also al-
leged that the Jesuits promoted and encouraged su-
perstition, and kept the people in a state of mental
darkness.
Sir HENRY PARNELL was convinced that no esta-
blishment of Jesuits existed in Ireland. lie wished the
Hon. Member who presented-the petition would state to
the house where they are to be found.
'Mr BROWN LOW said. Shut baring
tition from some respectable inhabitants of Arms; , rhis
felt it his ditty to preseht it. He could out, however;
take upon himself to say whether tliere were any Jesuits
in Ireland, or if there were, in what part of it they had
taken up their abode.
Mr. C. HUTCHINSON en'ertaining, as he did, the
highest respect for the charter of the lion. Memher who
had presented the petition,was glad to hear from 'him
that he knew of no establishment of Jesuits in Ireland,
whose object according to the language of the petition,
was to keep in ignorance and brit:aline the people of

...

that country.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. HROWNLOW then rose to present another peti-
tion to. the same effect from certain inhabitants of the
parish of Kinnerrv, in the county of Armagh.
Sir J. LETIIHRIDOE wished, before the question
was pat, that the former should be again read.
The SPEAKER, however, informed the Hen. Mem-
ber, that such a coarse of proceeding was irregular.
Mr. CCILW EN desired to know from the Hon. M•m-
ber (Mr. Brownlow) who the persons were that had
signed the petition.
Mr.BRI%'NLOW seid it was signed by forty or fifty
respectable inhabitants of the county of Armagh.
This petition was also ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. BROWN LOW presented a third petition from
certain inhabitants of another parish in the same
count•, and containing similar allegations to the pre.
ceding.
Mr. HIiTCHINSON said, that when one of the
most respectable Members in that house stood up in Lis
place, and stated his ignorance of that which every one
knew to be false—and in particular when all the Mem-
bers belonging to the south of Ireland knew it to be
false, he conceived it would be disi:raceful to the re-
cords of the house that a petition containing such allega-
tions should be allowed to be printed ; yet at the 'emu
time, he should not oppose its reception, sad if he did
not do so, it nes only because lie always wished that ti e
dour. of Parliament should be thrown open to the pe'i.
lions of the peopl• , yen though they might contain
matter which he could never bring himself to sanctiot ;
otherwise he should certainly move for the rejection of
this petition.
Sir JOHN NEW PORT,tharigh be deprecated exceed-
ingly the allegations set forth in the petition, yet he
should still more deprecate the principle of shutting the
door against that or any other petitions, even equally
objectionable. He positively deLied that there could be
found in any part of Ireand an establishment ofJesui!s.
He gave his hearty concurrence to the bringing np of the
petition, f,r he was quite sure that any efforts of this
namre would only tend to lane that cause which he was
to anxious to prom rte—namely, the extinction of relegi•
gious feuds among all classes of Irishmen.

Mr. BROUGHAM sai I that the Honourab'e Member
who had deprecated the matter put forth in these peti-
t ens, yet at the same time consented to their being re•
ceived, argued upon the principle that petitions however
false, otteht not to be rejected, provided the language
was nut improp. ror offensive. But he contended that
the language of the present petitions itas highly imply-
per and ottimsice. They charged the Jesuits with I.etni!
the cause of all the outrages committed in the Sonth of
Irelind; they talked of " gross superstition" and
• mental darkness." as being fos•ered and encouraged by
Jesuits. Now, for his part, he hid never till this mo-
ment heard that it suits save any toantenance to mental
uarkne4s, however they might employ themselves in poli-
tical intrigues. The house would, however, see hoe far
the petitioners were free from a state of " mental dart:-
nee," judging from the kno.eledge they displayed i t tie
scien eof spelling. In the petition which had just b'en
presented, the letter e occurred three times, instead ~f
twice in the word " intollerance,"—(a laugh),—and with
an orthographiral brevity .p. coliarly their own, the
"pervadei' had no e at the end.—(Laughter.) Such
were the men who talked of mental starkness:"

Mr. BROWNLOW again observed that he was not
aware of the existence of the establishment of which the
petitioners cinnpleintd, nor did they state at which par-
ticular part of Ireland it existed. Ph-v said, however,
that the outrages which now dinTac"ed Ireland were
owing to such an catablishinent. For his own p irt he
deplored the painful duty which bad devolved upon him
of presenting the petitions, while at the mine time he
felt convinced that the source of all the evils which now.
afflicted Ireland, was that one portion of the people was
arrayed in religious controversy agai est theother. 9 his
had p oduced such a system inlretada, as. WAS not brio.% n
inane part of the whole world.
M-. GRATTAN thonglit that the best way to prevent
misrepresentations of this nature, was, nut to prevent any
petitions that were not supported by facts. If perseus
came to him with petitions, lie should always take ra•e
to see that there were fool grounds fur the matter they
cont,ineil, before he t.olt, upon himself the duty of pre-
senting them.
Sir HENRY PARNELL repeated the fact that les
establishment of Jesuits coal Ibe found in Ireland. Ite
admitted that the master of a school in the countv of
Kildare, was a Jesuit, but he denied that the echo at it-
self was an establishment of Jesuits : and there was, no
man snore respectable than the intik ideal in questio•
Mr. RICE said that Centimes) argued as if tie iti:et.
ence of a Jesuit es ablishment was of itself a moral of.
fell—. Now, certsinly, the general impression in he-
ll land was, that there did exist in that country son ethier
likes Jesuit establialeco-nt in the county of Kildare, bnc
he could never admit that this forms any ground of as
fence • for, to abstract fi oin them their political influence.
and le ve them the power of enlichtening the p 0,. o.
would be productive of good rather than of evil.
Sir T. LETHBRILItie. said that the petitions we-e •
titled to the consideration of the House, though they
might not have come from learwil men. The persons
who had sent them enticed that all the mrasarea .vhich
afflicted Ireland were to be attributed to the inachinatlons
of Jesuits, awl they had a richt to make such an sop.
Coe' if they believeil tie fact to lie sc.
dlr. BROUGHAM explaiLel.—Tbe pe:itiati aught%
