SOCRATES, by his discourse on marriage, so
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married:
men Sew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to.bo
wedded ; and " The Spectator" has aimed, 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 Sot ealg withimp-
piness ea earth, but disposing the sod brelhirimmerstal

Previous, however, to entering late this bellowed oblige-
tiom it becomes an imperative duty, not Only to regelate the
passions, but to &mne the grosser nature from thews ins-
purities, which the freedom of unrestricted pleasitraiaay
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attesikin dire;
attributable many of those hapless lastenoek, which, 'Mk.
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, &mild !Oa

hope—energy--muscular strength—felicity ; nor will, oar
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 iL
proved in functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intension, 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-

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 frisk! the

This trial created 'an uncommon degree of interest
among mercantile people both in Edinburgh and Leith,
but particularly of the latter place, many gentlemen
having remained in Courtduring the whole of the trial,
which lasted till half-past eight at night. The Court
was excessively crowded.

shows that this notion is erroneons.—(Duadee Ad-
vertiser.)
The present very severe storm is likely to occasion the
d?struction of much of the g-arqe in this quarter, as welt
from the want of food as from the cruelty and ignorance
of man. The country is swarming with poachers. Two
of these fellows destroyed ne fewer than eicbt and ano-
ther seven hares in one day: and, could the number
killed during the storm be ascertained, it would be
f,utnd to exceed all that were destroyed dating the
hunting season. Unless a remedy be applied, the game,
if the storm continues, will be so thinned as to require
years to supply the waste. By the Scottish acts 1621,
cap. 32. and 1635, cap. 20, which qiim still in force .a
penalty of 100!. Scots can be levied on those who
&may hares in time of snow,—a penalty which might
deter both the ignorant poacher and the qualified sporte,
man, who is equally liable. The practice, indeed, hes
been carried to such an extent, that, we understand, the

Surveyor of Taxes means to make an example of ses
veral of the transgressors, both quslified nod ungeali•

It appears by the recent insolvent Debtor's Act, that*
clause is contained therein, that the assignees of military
men receiving full or half•pay, hate a claim to a certain cgs
tent, on the said pay of the insolvent. and should it be re-
triired, assistance is generally given by the Secretary at
War for the recovery of the same. •

A fire broke out on Sunday night, at the house of
Mrs. Blisset, Lieanmont-row, Chelsea, owing to the im-
prudence of it servant girl, allowing a boy four years old
a candle, by which the bed furniture was; set on file.
There was on miter person at home but Mrs. Blisget, who

DI Brat Prae.,—Saturday night a destructive fire
bruise out iu the frernises of Mr. Ludgay, sail-maker sad
►fi_h-street, Wapping. It was first observed
by some strangers who were passing in the lower part of
the premises. An alarm being given, the inmates quitted
their apartments just in time to save themselves. Conside-
rable property nes got out, but some of great value was
destroyed. A number of engines arrived, and played very
rapidly. but they could not save the premises: in less than
half an hour the front of the house gave way, and the roof
falling in, the whole became a heap of ruins. The house of
Mr. Mutart, the Ship Tavern, on the one side, was very se-
riously damaged. The Ship and Pilot, on the other side,
was also injured.
On Saturday evening two seamen belonging to the Cathe-
rine brig, lacing at D•vis's Wharf, Horsleydown, named
James Wilkinson sad John Jackson, retired to their births
for the night, leaving a charcoal fire near them. On Sun-
day morning Wilkinson was discovered quite dead, and his
companion in a state of insensibility; the latter was con-
veyed to St. Thomas's Ilospital, where he now lies with
little hopes of recovery. Oa the afternoon of the same day
another of the crew fell and broke his thigh bone ln'two
places.

Last night an Inquisition was taken, at the Coach cra
Horses public-house in Conduit Strew., Bond Street, on
the body of Peter Bailey, EN. The deceased, nn Thurs-
day night, sent for a coach to take himself and Mrs. B.
from their house, No. 'J, Cumberland Place, New Itoatl,
Mary-la-bonne. to the Opera House. When the coach
arrived in the New Street, near Hanover Square, he ex-
claimed to Mrs. Bailey, "Oh, Mary:" laid down his
head and expired instantly. She called to the coachman
to drive to some Doctor's shop. - The coachman went to
several, hut found none at home, till lie came to the
house of Mr. King, in Hanover Street ; that gentletnan
had the deceased carried into his house, and, for the
satisfaction of NI rs. Bailey, he attempted to bleed him,
nut life was entirely extinct, and no blood would flow.—
The body had been opened, when it was discovered that
the main artery from the heart had burst, and filled the
cavity of the heart, which produi-ed instant death. 'The
dec. ased was 411 years of age.—Verdict, " Died by the
Visitation of Gun."

On Saturday' last an inquisition was held at the Pitt'
Head, Tyson Street, Bethnal Green, on the remains o •
Joseph Moses, Esq. a stock broker in the. City of lmn• -
don. The deceased was of the Jewish persuasion. The
wife of the deceased stated, that her husband had been
for more than three weeks in a state of mind the most
distressing that could possibly be conceived, which

day for that period he had been in a melancholy state,
and at night could not sleep lie irequently got out of
his bed and traversed the room for halt an hour together,
and by his sielis and groans convinced her. that his
mental sidferinri were very great. 01 Feld y morning
list, after a very restless night, the deceased rose from
his bed, about seven o'clock, and went down stairs.
