By Dr. LA'MERT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reprodqctive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they ara lest, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gro3e exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tisiAz with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands )31 the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou4 functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the ,reat discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

THE INTERNATIONAL SUPPLEMEN TARY EXBIB of 1862. Although the Great Exhibition lTlON Building„ now in course of erection, covers nearly 25 acres of ground, yet there remains a very large number of intending Exhibitors who have been necessarily excluded by the want of space. This has caused great disappointment, both at home and abroad, to many who had made preparations for the exposition of their pro ductions. To meet this want, and at the same time to give facilities for the sale of the goods which will be collected from all parts of the world, a Company has been formed, the Capital of which is subsctibed, for the purpose of erecting on a spot closely contiguous to the Great Exhibition Building, an Ornamental Structure designed by Sir JoSEPH PAXTON, where the Exhibitors will have the advantage of a Building in every respect applicable for a favourable display of their goods, and with the privilege of selling the same to the vast concourse of visitors who will inevitably be attracted to Lon don during the present year. The Building will be called "The International Supple mentary Exhibition," and will cover about three acres of around. The who eof the cpace for exhibition will be upon the ground floor, and upon the walls, there being no galleries, and such is the perfection of the design, that all parts will be equally well lighted. A provisional contract has been entered into with an emi nent contractor for the erection of the Building, which is to be completed, under a heavy penalty, on or before the 15th day of May next. The charges will be— For floor space 12s. per square foot. For wall space 6s. „ „ Persons desirous of obtaining space must apply at the Offices of the Company, having pre. iously paid to the credit of the Trustees, at the City Bauk, Threadneedle-street, or at the Agra Bank, 27, Cannon-street, the amount payable upon the space applied for, which will be allotted according to the priority of application. The names of the Trustees are— Sir ROBERT WALTER CARDEN, Alderman, Chair man of the City Bank. Mr. Alderman FINN'S, Director of the Agra Bank. WILLIAM JACKSON, Esq., M.P. If from any cause the Building should not be completed, or if the space applied for should not be allotted, the amount of the deposit-money will be returned in full. Furtner particulars may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 42, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, corner of Ludgate-hill. THE INTERNATIONAL SUPPLEMEN TARY EXHIBITION. No APPLICATION for SPACE in this Building can be entertained after SATURDAY, the 15th February instant. . ... _ . • -.. , . . . „................" ........-- ee j...................„,„ K: ,,e6 ci e ..• . , . .. . . . • .

Her Majesty's ships Nile, , Donegal, Diadem, Bulldog, Spiteful, and Landrail are engaged in recovering the stores. We have received the following letter from our Malta correspondent, dated Valetta, Feb. 2:— "Several of her Majesty's ships which were de spatched to Gibraltar from this island and other parts of .the Mediterranean soon after the receipt of the intelligence of the seizure by Capt.

The only ani_ mal asked after was Thomastown, about whom 15 to 1 was taken to some money. The Two THOUSAND GUINEAS was also almost a dead letter. The Marquis, from a demonstration made against him in the morning in the City, was exceedingly weak, but one or two speculative members, not believing in the report, backed for a small amount at 8 to 1, two points over the price he closed at on Monday, but layers were plentiful. THE CHESTER CUP.—The business upon this important and well-constructed handicap evidently suffers from a paucity of backers. The same features of depression are visible in the City and Turf Club as here, and until some vitality is thrown into the transactions our returns may be expected to present a "tat, stale, and unprofitable" appear ance.

BERKSHIRE OPEN :CHASE. The Java, target-ship, has been towed from her position in Porchester lake to a position alongside the dockyard at Portsmouth, where workmen are busily employed affixing armour plates to her sides for future testing and experimental purposes from the guns of the gunboat Stork. The " sample" armour plates are from the manufactories of the Thames Ironworks Company;, Messrs. John Brown and Co., Atlas Works Sheffield ; and from Ri g by and Co., Lancefield Works, Glasgow. The Thames Company's plates are " hammered," Messrs. Brown's are "rolled," and Messrs. Rigby's are a combina tion of both, the face of their plates being rolled on to hammered backs.

MODERN PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCE clearly shows that the whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves, sinews, m uscles, and even solid bone ; this being - the case, the grand o bj ect is to keep th i s precious fluid, the blood, in a pure and healthy state, for without this purity disease will show itself in some way or other ; thus diseases called by various names have all been cured simply by the use of PARR'S LIFE: PILLS, thus showing that what has been considered different "disorders, and requiring different treatment, all originated in the same 'same, and can be cured by one uniform treatment. PARR'S LIF ti PILLS, although powerful in conquering disease, yet are pure and harmless, and may be administered with confi dence to the invalid, however weakly from long ill health, who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health—viz., good appetite, sound sleep, and an in crease of animal spirits.

It vas taken down with the rest of their gold, and I helped to pack it on the mule. Claims were selling at from 1,000 dols. to 4,000 dols. each. Knew one which was sold for 4,000 dols. after it had given 6,000 dols. With theie 10,000 dols. the men who sold went to Oregon to buy mules to ' pack,' and to return with goods in the spring. A2O dols. claim passed over with contempt. Many don't think a 50 dots. claim worth working. Few make less than 100 dols a day at Keithley's. The gold all in nuggets. Saw no fine gold dust or scale gold. They never could earn so much at find gold. A man can fill his pockets with nuggets out of the; bottom of the flume after the dirt is washed off. Went up with a mule train. Travelled slowly. Took a month from Victoria. Cost 30 dols. Fed the animals on the grass which we found growing wild." This gentleman intends to go and try his hick himself next summer. At New Westminster the other day I met a man who worked as journeyman carpenter for me some time ago, and whom I was in the habit of seeing occasionally in Victoria. He made up to me to consult me on the best means of dis posing of his gold, there being a scarcity of coin in both colonies, which rendered it impossible to " convert" bul lion—when gold bars were at a discount of from 3 to 5 per cent, on their value, for the same reason of the scarcity of coin. The carpenter's story was very short, so yo u w ill not weary, I hope, while I relate it. He went up last spring, got a claim which turned out7a trump, and he sold it for 5,000 dols. paid down. He then worked another claim with three others, and he took out of this latter, after paying expenses in the mines, up war d s of 10,000 dols. for his share. His partners earned the same. I'he claim yielded in gross a little over 50,000 dols. He had then with him in New Westminster 15,000 dols. of his own. His partners had each 10,000 dols. my friend's fortune being augmented 5,000 dols. by the sale of his first claim. The time the four of them took to earn this amount was six weeks. " But we did not work all that time either," he said; " perhaps a month would cover it." I advised him on the disposal of his gold. On my return to Victoria 1 met him coming to me for ad vice upon another subject. He had bought an interest in another claim for 12,000 dols of an Oregon man, and he wanted a draught in which to remit the payment, and so on. With the view of testing the various extravagant state ments of individual gains afloat, I asked the landlord of a house of call of miners in Victoria to make out an account of their earnings taken down from themselves personally. He did so, but it is confined chiefly to the "lucky ones." From five companies which mined on Antler Creek the return is this :—One company of three men took out 50,000 dols., 16,666 dols. each man ; three others took out 36,000 dole., 12,000 each man ; five men 25,000 dols., 5,000 dols. each; szx men 24,000 dols., 4,000 dols. each ; and the last three men on the list 18,000 dols., or 6,000 dols. each, making the gross amount taken out by 20 men 153,000 dols. There are 4,000 dols. more set:down as taken from the same creek, but the number of miners is not given. The time engaged was hardly three months. From William's Creek, the richest of all, the return is much larger ; three " claim owners" earned 60,000 dols.; nine 90,000 dols. ; four 48,000 dols. ; four more, 24,000 dole; three, 15,000 dole. ; and four men in one day's work took out 25 pounds' weight, valued at 5,000 dole ; total, 242,000 dole. To this return is appended the following remark, "William's Creek has not been worked over two months by the above companies, and is not considered thoroughly prospected up to this date, Nov. 28, 1861." The return from Lowhee Creek is 150,000 dols. to five men. Few hired labourers were employed by any of these companies. The best paying creeks, in addition to these three, are " Lightning,' " Van-Winckle," and " Last Chance," according to the miners' reports. I believe the above returns of earnings to be rather under stated. But the period of two months' work assigned to Williams's Creek is too short. What is meant is that the greater portion of the amount of gold, as given, was ex tracted in two months. I have positive evidence respecting this creek which is worth giving, because the facts are fully established. A journeyman shoemaker named Dawson went from Vic toria, where he had worked at his trade in Yates-street for some time, to the mines in spring. He, with two partners, commenced preparing the claim (on Williams's Creek) on the 12th of May. Having completed the different prepara tory operations of " stripping the surface, diverting water, fluming, &c.," they commenced to dig (i.e., to wash out gold) on the Bth of July, and continued working, with an interval or suspension of one week for repairs, until the 26th of September. The result is instructive ; Dawson brought to Victoria, a few weeks ago, 22,500 dole. in gold as his share. He has to-day (Nov. 30) gold of the value of 19,040 dole. in deposit, to my personal knowledge; and he is him self at present on San Juan Island passing the winter, and returns to Cariboo as early in the spring as the weather will permit, His two partners were fishermen at Langley on the Lower Fraser River for about two years. Last spring they too went to Cariboo and made up a company with Dawson after being there some time. They had ori ginally a larger sum each of them than Dawson had, but it has been whispered that some of their money went to in crease the Faro Bank. Be this as it may, they had 54,000 dole. on deposit in Victoria for some time after they came down; and Wells, Fargo, and Co.'s Express remitted 33,000 dols. by the last steamer to San Francisco for them. These three men were extremely poor last spring. They all in tend to return to Cariboo to resu me th e wor k on their claim next season. It was the claim in which I mentioned above that one of them took out 600 dols. from one tin panful of " dirt." They employed only one man for part of the time to assist them. Two of them are Americans. I don't know Dawson's nationality. DEC. 4. T have to-day procured a return of the assays of Cariboo geld, made throughout the season by Messrs. Marchand and Co., assayers in Victoria, which gives the highest and the lowest quality and. the average of the dust they have assayed. The highest, which was from Pavis's Creek, is 918 fine, value per ounce 18 dols. 97c. 64. The lowest, which came from Williams's Creek, is 810 fine, value per ounce 16 dols. 74c. 42. Average of all Cariboo dust, 854 fine, value 17 dols. 65c. 37. I could quote instances in which larger sums than I have stated have been earned, and in which a fortune was extracted in a few weeks by the labour of half a dozen men —that is- a competency to each of them—from a very few feet square of ground; but it is idle further to multiply cases. I have stated sufficient facts to justify the conclu sions that Cariboo is unrivalled for the wealth it produces to individual labour, in a short period ; in the large propor tion of men who have beensuccessful—that is to say, those who in one short season have made fortunes, those who have made considerable amounts, and those who have earned high wages; and, finally, for the universal satis faction of the miners with their past earnings, and their confidence in the future. Victoria is the mart of commerce for British Columbia and Vancouver Island. Here are all the merchants and other business establishments ' and here naturally should the assay-cffi ce b e p l ace d. Had it been so, nearly all the gold which now goes in dust to San Francisco would be converted into bars on the spot—a circumstance which would greatly facilitate general business, and which to the success of banking business is absolutely essential. I could prove the injury done to general commerce by the misplacement of this Government office, and shall do so in another letter, but at present need only remark further that the absurdity of putting the assay-office at New West minster is as great and as palpable as it would be to place the Bank of England or the Clearing-house at Gravesend. It ought to have been in the Victoria, and this co,Jony ought to pay its cost of erection. Here it would leave - a profit. There, in the wilderness, it leaves a loss. We have in harbour her Majesty's ship Topaze, Captain the Hon. John W. S. Spencer, and the surveying vessel the Hecate, Captain Richards, returned from San Francisco, repaired ; also, two gunboats permanently stationed here. A gentleman holding a high office in these parts made this remark to me lately :—" We owe to a foreign Govern ment our protection from the Indians. We owe our lives —the people of 'Washington Territory and Oregon do—to the English Government administered by Governor Dou glas. Did he not restrain them by his moral influence, we should all be murdered, sir, every man of us. But," he added, what I knew to be correct, "do you suppose I would dare to admit this fact to our people ? Why, they would be ready to Lynch me if I did. They fancy that a few dozens of them—Hoosiers and Pikecounties, &c., would whip' all the Indians on the coast and the Britishera into the bargain. No, no—you mustn't tell our people these things, They won't stand to hear them," I agreed with the Judge, and trusted I should not see the day whenebrie e "people" should have proof of the truth in a manner m practical than agreeable. REPORT, The Directors lay before the Proprietors a general state ment of the affairs of the Company for the half-year ending the 31st December, 1801, which they hope will be fund satisfactory. From the balance-sheet it will appear that the net profit of the Bank for the past half-year, including the sum of £19,417 3s. 3d. brought forward, and after deducting interest paid to customers, all expenses of manactement, income-tax, and rebate, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, amounts to £63,203 3s. 2d. Your Directors recommend that the usual Dividend of 6 per cent. be declared together with a Bonus of 2t per cent., upon the paid-up capital of the Company, free of income-tax, which, if approved by the Proprietors, will leave the sum of £20,703 3s 2d. to be carried forward to the next Account. In consequence of the great increase in the business of the Bank, your Directors have considered it advisable to augment the capital stock of the Company by the 1-sue of 5,000 addi tional shares, to be offered in the first instance, pro rata, amongst the Proprietors as they appeared in the Register on the 27th January last, being the date when the Transfer Books of the Company were closed. Such shares to be issued at file price of £3O (being a premium of £lO per share) to be paid by instalments,•the details of which will be imme diately transmitted by circular to each proprietor. This measure will produce £150,000, out of which it is pro posed to add £lOO,OOO to the capital stock of the Company, and £50,000 to the Reserve Fund, thus raising the former to £300,000, and the latter to £175,000. The Directors retiring by rotation are—William Cory, Esq., Coles Child, Esq., and Thomas Mills, Esq., M.P., who have given notice of their intention of becoming candidates for re-election. The Dividend will be payable at the Head Office, or any of :he Branches, on and after Monday, the 17th instant. BALANCE SHEET OF THE LONDON AND COUNTY BANKING COMPANY, 31st December, 1861. DR.

SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 6. The Federal steamer Tuscarora, left Cowes Roads this morning. Her stay here 40 hours longer than was necessary shows that her com mander, Captain Craven, had given up all thoughts of chasing the Confederate steamer Nashville, which left here on Monday afternoon. The excite ment which the presence of these vessels has caused here for several weeks has now entirely ceased, and the rules laid down by Earl Russell for the future treatment of belligerent ships in British ports will prevent the probability of a recur rence of it. Some idea of the trouble which the visit of these two ships has caused here to the Government authorities may be gathered from the fact that the Tuscarora repeatedly left Southampton on short cruises, and every time she did so Captain Craven gave, in accordance with international law, 24 hours' notice of his intention. That notice had to be considered by the authorities, and steps had to be taken to see that it was not a delusive one, and that the ship actually did leave when the time had expired, or furnish some valid reason for not doing so, otherwise the notice might have simply prevented the Nashville leaving. It is but just to say that the difficult task of medi iting between the rival ships, which devolved upon Cap tain Patey, R.N., and two officers of his staff, Lieu tenant Tickell, R.N., and Mr. Messum, R.N., in addition to their duties of superintending the trans port service and the mail packets, has been per formed in a manner most satisfactory both to Capt. Craven and Capt. Pegrim, and that both of these gentlemen have had every legal facility granted them for the performance of their respective duties, and have been treated with courtesy and impar tiality by the British Government. The agents general for Crown Colonies invite tenders until Wednesday, the 19th inst., for the unallotted portion, amounting to £145,000, of the Cape of Good Hope Government Six per Cent.

A fact, of a practical character, which came to my notice in the early part of the autumn, went far to satisfy me of the extraordinary riches of the Cariboo district; but I did not relate it, or other equally satisfactory evidence in my former letters, because I was not certain but th a t th ese m i g ht have been solitary and individual eases. A labourer here was offered 125 dols. a-month and his board (which, toge ther, would be equal in sterling money to £62 10s. 6d.,) to go and work in Cariboo for a miner who w as s h or t-handed. To encourage the man to go he Was informed that his quondam fellow-labourer in California had bought one fourth interest in a claim for 2,200 dols. which he had earned, and that his return was 63 dols. a-day from the yield of the claim. A pretty good investment, giving nearly 3 per tent. • a-day, and nearly 1,000 per cent. per annum. The excitement produced by this sudden realisation of wealth had the effect of unhinging the minds and of para lysing the action of many of the miners whose nerves were not well strung. In August a miner writes, "The gold you receive in Victoria is the produce of about 200 miners only. The rest are running about the country prospect ing " Besides the glad tidings of " big strikes" " im mense hauls," "shovel-full" and "pans-full of gold," were mingled with complaints of the weather. "Queer climate. Last week it hailed and snowed ; ice half-an-inch thick, and it storms almost every day." The ground was so saturated that the mud came up to the knees, and men had to crawl on all fours in ascending hill sides. Rheumatism appeared, and no wonder. On the whole, however, I never heard of less sickness among an equal number of men, even in far more favourable circumstances The country is eminently healthy. I 'never suffered a mo ment from roughing it in British Columbia. It was estimated that one-third of the miners were Bri • tish. I think this an over-estimate. Whoever they were, their conduct was exemplary. Peace and order prevailed to a degree unusual in so m ercur i a l a community; a ll dis putes as to miners' rights, contested boundaries of claims, &c., "were settled by the magistrate," Mr. Nind, who is also gold commissioner, "with the assistance of a jury of miners selected on the spot--a plan which gives universal satisfaction." The majesty of the law was represented by the magistrate, who camped in a tent, and by two consta bles, until the judge arrived on circuit. He was accompa nied ex officio by his registrar only. An Indian half-bred had charge of the robes, the wig, and the black cap. The equipage is very simple, for his lordship cultivates sleep under a tree. There were only two serious cases of crime ict the mines during the whole season--one the killing of a notorious bully who had made himself obnoxious to the w h o le mining community, and was shot by one of his vic tims, and who fled justice on the judge's approach; the other a robbery, for which the robber was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 10 years in the chain gang. There was another case of shooting and wounding, in revenge, on the road to Cariboo, but the guilty party escaped, and is not like to trouble the colony any more. The judge had several civil cases to decide, however, for frequent disputes arise about mining claims. Nelson's 'creek was discovered by and named after a for mer servant of the Governor, w h o went to the mines in to the hand in August, and by l as t accounts the yield had spring. The claims were yielding 20, 30, and 50 dols a-day increased. Nelson remains for the winter in the neighbour hood. He has 1,500 dols., after paying expenses, and con siders himself unlucky. Next season he expects to make up for his bad luck. The account of September's work is but an exaggerated repetition of that of the two previous months. Prodigious quantities of gold were found in limited spaces, such as 650 z. from a crevice, 220 z. washed out of one panful of dirt—all nuggets. This is confirmed by a clergyman on the spot, who remarked, " the best feature however is that there are so many claims doing well, and giving good, regular wages, over a large tract." Shares had been sold in some of the richer claims for 8,000 dols. and 10,000 dols. each. The older miners, who had travelled over a great space of the country, gave it as their opinion that Cariboo would support 25,000 miners, while others affirmed that would not even "prospect" it, that is, would not discover or make known the resources of the district. As the extent of the goldfield became better known this fact produced a greater excitement among the miners than the big strikes" did,—because the fact gave "prom ise of good things to come," I suppose. One-fourth share in the best claim in Lowheo Creek was sold for 4,000 do's after the owner (the seller) had realized 17,0n0 dole. A share in another and poorer claim was " snapped up" at 1,800 dols., and shares in a newly dis covered creek, not even tested, were held at 1,000 dole. a share. Money was also made by other industrial pursuits besides raining. Packers made large sums, and so did traders, of which we have ample proof in Victoria, for these parties brought their money here, and I know two cattle dealers who made £lO,OOO profit in the season. A young gentleman named Stamp, a son of Captain Stamp, now settled here, and well known in London in the mercantile community, past last season in Cariboo. This is his statement : " Three weeks ago I saw 292 ounces of gold taken out by three men from one claim. It was Steele's claim. This was their day's work. I saw the m en at work getting out the gold ; and I saw it weighed. It was large, in 'nug gets.' Several men were getting out as much as I.ooodols. a day latterly. Out of 1,500 miners 250 are i n possess i on of these rich claims. The others who are at work do much less—from 100 dots (L2O) a day each man and upwards. The claims are spotted ; some rich and some p oor . N o miner of late would work a claim which would yield only 20dols. a day per hand, and I have seen 50 dols claims ra- The extent of the auri ferousof the minors were runni ng about th e country prospect i ng, gi jecte d as country not ric is h l e a n rg ou e, g o h ni t y o bPeagyintino be known. Many and not earning anything. I return to Cariboo in the be ginning of February.". A builder in Victoria, whom I have known for three years went to Cariboo in summer and returned a few weeks ago. This is his account : " The general character of the country as you enter it from below is barren, rocky, and swampy, heavily timbered with extensive forests of dead, charred, and burned trees. The fallen trees impede one's progre s s terribly. Mineral indications abound everywhere. T o the northward t h e c -luntry is covered with a dens e bru s h most di ffi cult to pene trate. On the way up from L illooett the country is mognifi cent—mountains, ravines, rivers, and gorges, no end of them. But the most marked feature in the landscape is the lakes. Far away up in the interior there are lakes that would float a 74. At I.eithley's there is supposed to be a streak of pay-dirt, a rich gravel, three miles wide, and of unknown length, running up perhaps into the Rocky Moun tains 70 to 100 miles off. Wherever he went he heard this theory of the gravelly auriferous streak' entertained. Twenty-fivei a.
