Donuts et place as taw.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
• That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
SOCRATFS, 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 " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word
" wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
• The sewed lootitosios,Alios, of marriage, compasses Mae
desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonise
with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering Into this hallowed obliga-
tion, it becomes an Imperative duty, not only to regulatethe
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 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 then doubts the chance of
relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offerinz
hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity ; aor 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 funetional 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 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 cousuitation , and letters from the
country are immediately answered ; these must contain a
remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded
to any part of the world, however distant.

Sir E. KNATCHBULL said, that unless the Chancellor
of the Exchequer had proposed, :n the statement which
he was to make that night, some mode of relief to the
petitioners, he (Sir Edward Ktiatehbull) would,
on a future day, submit a motion on the subject.
The petitions were then laid on the table.
HEREFORDSHIRE PETITION.
Mr. R. PRICE presented a petition from the nobility,
gentry, clergy, and freeholders of the county of Here
ford, complaining of agricultural distress, and praying
for a correction of various abuses. The Hon. Me.nber
added, that though the petition was in strong langeage,
yet it was respectful, and was not mixed up with anything
like party feeling. On the contrary, the statemen•s in it
originated from those who always gave their best support
to government. There were two petitions proposed at
the meeting—the one was supposed not to go far enough ;
the second was then proposed by Mr. Charlton and was
carried, the former being withdrawn in its favour. lie
had the authority of the Noi.le Chairman to sta e, 'hat the
present petition was not only the petition of those whose
names were subscribed to it, but that it conveyed the
sense of the whole country.
The petition was then read and Lad on the tal'ile.—

petitioner made adeposit of 5,5001. on the purchase, t
in some time after he was informed by his attorney tb t
the title was not satisfactory. Ile accordingly appl* .
for his deposit, but the venaor made application to the
Court of Chancery to compel him to make god his pPr-
chase. The bill stood upon the files of that Coutt
for several year's, during which the vendor kept poseet-
siou of the estate, and received the rents and •profits.--
The Vice Chancellor, before whom the gill wat et
length brought, decreed that the title was vatiti, and
obliged the purchaier to pay the rest of the purchase
money, together mitts the interest on it since the dart of
the contract to buy, the vendor scrount..ir for the rents
and profits is the mean time. No: being able to pay the
balance in consequence of some losses in the mean time, .
he gave the 'vendor a wortgate on both the estates, and
continued to pay till he redeemed the d. bt to abaft
60,0001. Hislosses in business being very heavy, be
was obliged to offer both eitatet for sale, subject welter
mortgage, in 1821. In Hertfordshire lie found no bid-
der, and for the Herefordshire estate he was offered a
small sum, in consequence of the great fall of landed
produce. The vendor applied to the Lord Chantrellor to
have the mortgage on both estates foreclosed, and to
have them given over to him in lieu of his debt. The
consequence seas, thin Mr. Thompson loses both the es-
tates in which he had invested so mach money, while
the vendor gained an estate without the loss of ling
thing. He was in possession of the profits of his own
estate, except from 1819 to 1821. He eentintted to re-
ceive the profits, and had also 5,5001. of Mr. Thotirsop.
The case riquired reset, but he could not then sly what
that relief would be. The petitioner was involved
in those losses, nor by any fault of his own, but by the
delay in the Court ofChancery, and by the pressure of
the Agriculturalists. It was stated to him that the pe-
titioner was a rash speculator • if so his claim to relief
was weakmed. He (Lord Folkstone) bad inquired into
the truth of their statement, and found that the estate in
Hertfordshire, which cost in purchase and improve-
ments 72,0001, contained 770 acres, worth at that time
five pounds per acre. The timber on it was worth
19,0001. To the manor, which contained 2,000 acres,
was attached a right of adrowsen. The masse
of all those for 72,0001. could not be called a rash spe-
culation.
• The Petition was then read, and ordered to be
printed.
• On motion of the Chancellor of the EXCHE-
QUER, it was resolved that the house at rising adjourn
over to Monday next.

SUPPLY—FOREIGN &IMAMS.
On the motion of the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman, the House resolved itselt into a Committee of
Supply.
Sir JOHN OSBORNE said he would troub'e ti e
Committee with a very few observations. The eititnatea
whir h he was about to move bad been already laid on ti
table. The first vote which be would ask was for 25,00
seamen. The number included 8,700 Royal marines,
and exceeded the vote of seamen of lest year by 4,000.
That Duval en was considered necessary in consequence of
the disturbed state of the world, particularly gig South
American Colonies. Tha addition of 4,006 was j.udgei
expedient for the protection of oar commerce in Olaf
quarter. He should mention that 80,000/. for the coal
blockade was nut among the charges under his head. Its
the wear and tear of those 25,000 there was a diminution
of 2s. Id. per head, a hich left it 15s. per head for the
yes, nt year. In the last item also, under the head of
Ordnance, there was a considerable diiiinution. With
those observations the Hon. Baronet moved a Resolution
—viz. that 25,000 seam.n. including 8,700 marines, be
employed to serve in his Majesty's Beet for thirteen lu-
nar mantlis, commencing on the Ist of January, 1823.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that so far from throwing
any objection in the way of the resolution, be was ra-
ther surprised that the number required was nut larger.
He confessed that he should feel some difficulty in the
view which he entertained of the state of foreign affairs
if he thought the proposed votecoul I in any °Jennie li-
mit the house as to the supply of seamen for the year.
' They all knew well enough that the .ting•that night of
only 25,000 men did not limit them to that specific nnm-
bet fur four and twenty hours—not a moment further
than their next meeting on Monday, when they could
increase that vo c to any amount that might be judged
expedient. But he was very much afraid that other per- •
sonages elsewhere may not be aware of that, though he
would be surprised if there could remain in the mind of
any one abroad, the least suspicion that by voting 1.5,00
men now, 'lie house was going to limit the Naval forms
of the year to that number—(hear, hear.) Should ilia
Government hereafter be of opinion that the supply now
granted was too din i ed, they might rely on getting, in
that house, without opposiiion, or even observation, but
with the unanimous approbation of the peop'e (cheers).
whatever they thought our circums'ances might demand
for supporting the hat our of the Crown and the Indy-
pendenre of the couctry.- (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Sc etary CANNIN6 said lie rose to es a his
a Inowlediternews for the manner in whic the a
Hon. %rl
Learoed Gentleman had given his concharrence to the
vote. The present resulution certainly did not limit the
power of Parliament any more than the capability of the
country (cheers), and h:s Majesty's Ministers would rot
hesitate, if necessary, to come mown and demand a far-
ther supply.—(Hear, hear, awl cheers.) Having said so
much, in order to prevent a possibility of mistake. be,
hoped the Committee would pardon him if he would say*
that the present state of affairs was such as that any &o-
mission of them in that House could produce no good—
no inure than the former—and might do harm. It :a as
the wish of 6overnnodlß to preserve the peace of Europe,
and no effort shout I be left untried or unexhausted,
obtain that end.—(Cheers.) Inexhaustible as the
try was in its resources, while Parliament Maintained
that state by mtiwaining public credit. there should bs
no want of exertion un toe part of Ministers.—(Lsrad.
cheers.)
Tile Resolution was then put and carried.
Sir JOHN OSBORNE then proposed a vote ec
763,7501. for the wages of 25,000 men for thirteen haute
months, at V. 7a. per man per month.—Agreed to.
The next Resolution was for 4551100/. for victualling
the said men, at 11. Ss. per man per month.--Agreed te.
The next was for 243,7501. for wear and tear, beir.g:
the charge for the stares and materials, for the use of
the ships in the sea service, at 153. a man per month.—
Agreed to.
The next and last was for 81,250/. for the Ordnance, fur
the sea service, at ss. per man per month.—Agreed
The House then resumed, and the Resolutions were or-
dered to be reported on Monday.
WATS AND MEANS —REMISSION CP SAXES.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQU ER, the Howe resolved itself into a Committee
of Ways and Means.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose,
and said if he did no', on the present occasion, entrcat
the peculiar indulgence of the Committee, it was not Le-
