Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
Thst honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
SOCRATES, by his Discourse on Marriage, so en
raptured his auditors with. the subject, that the
married men flew to their wises, and the bachelors hastened
to be wedded; and "The Spectator" has affirmed, that the
word" wife"is the most agreeable an ddelightful name in nature
The sacred Institution, then, of niarriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize
with bliss hereafter.

Previous, however, to entering lute- this, hallowed obli-
gation, 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 miy
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such, attention are
attributable, many of these hapless • instanced, 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 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 than doubts the thence
of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering
hope—energy—muscular strength—bitchy : nor will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the
aultipiled proofs of twenty years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed
by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the
111Ptial wreath—for the female habit Is often constitutionally
weak—yet it ran be strengthened, and deficient energy im-
proved ante 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 to
expel the unfeeling- empiric from the position so presumptu-
ously taken up, we deviate from general principles with
less hesitation; and confident in our own honourable inte-
grity es Members of lhe.Cellege. of Surgeons, we refer the
suffering community of either Sex (especially those enter-
ing into matrimonial life) at °neat° ourjsouses, where daily
attendance Is given for personal consultat/on • and letters
from the country are immediately answered; these must
contain a rentiltanea for Advice and Medicine, which can be
forwarded to any part of the worldwilowswor

COAL DI Its.
Mr. Iffitetiff*bittaker apjestraiLat the butt to prevent a
petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, add Commons of
the City of London, in Common Council assembled, praying
the house to repeal the duty of nine shillings End four-
race a chaldron, paid upon all coals coming coastwise
1010 the City.
Me. Alders's* WOOD. is support of the petitiorr, ex-
pressed a bops that the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
whom he did not see is his place, would feel the farce of
the numerous petitions which had been laid upon the
table oo this subject, and repeal this most, signet and
oppressive tax altogether. It was impossible, even com-
plying as Parliaments in modern times were, that a tax
which had been originally imposed for building churches
in London, could be applied to pay off the Lottery. Tot
such was actually the case. In 1710 a portion of this tax
was first laid on, and its objects being answered in 1816,
his Majesty's Government then applied it to public pur-
poses. But whet a monstrous injustice it was that the
City of London should be paying 31. 4d. a chaldron more
than any other part of the kingdom, for the benefit of the
public. They might as well tax Liverpool to support
the gas lights of London. He hoped that the Hon. Baro-
net over the way, who had presented a great many petitions
on this subject, would give the petitioners all the weight of
his influence. The tax upon coals bore more heavily upon
the agricultural interest than upon any other. In those
counties where lime was used for manure, the coals alone
cost 81. an acre, though eerhaps the land was not north
much more. Another inconvenience arising from the
operation of these duties was,_ that the small coal, which
was not worth the duty, was destroyed in great quantities
at the pit's mouth. The supply of London too was limited
to 50,000 toes in the year, which appeared not only unjust,
but absurd. And thus the field for competition was en-
tirely closed. He would ask why London was not entitled
to the same advantages as other parts of the kingdom ? By
an Act which was smuggled through the House some time
ago, all the country east of the Holmes was exempted front
this duty.
The petition was then ordered to lie on the table, and
be printed.
Similar petitions against the Coal Duties were also pre-
sented from (treat Torrington, by Sir Thomas Ackland ;
the Ward of A Idgate, by Mr. Alderman Bridges ; the Ward
of Cripplegate, by Mr. Alderman Wood ; and from Shaftes-
bury.—All laid upon the table.
