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, Sze. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that theree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of ➢ian hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lest, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gro is exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous rem ;dies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tisia r 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 m the Medical Resister (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou • functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

Since the departure of the last English mail no day has passed without the .arrival by the Grand Trunk Railroad from Rivicre a,u,Leupof come one of the detachments of her I\lLde'sf's'. troops, the - average ninb , , , ,r:of each detachment latterly being about - 160 men; In this manner the.62d Regiment has arii-ed, and been forwarded on to Hamilton, its pl.ce of destination, as also such of theAfli.lers:and mein ()Pale 16,h Regiment as had not disembarked at Lie when the Persia was oblig..d suddenly to leave, cud who were therefore cariied to ILlife..x. The 'first detachment of the Rifle Brigade, under Colonel L:.)rd Alexander Russell, reached the Chaudiere . station, near Quebec, on the 25th, and were immediately forwarded. The heaviest snowstorm of the season, which occurred on the'26th and 27th of January, found Lord Frede rick Paulet, of the brigade of Guards; Captain Gordon, his Brigade-Major; and Captain Seymour, Aide-de-Camp, and a detachment of the Rifle Bri gade, on their j - nrney, but they made very good time . nothWithstanding the weather, It has been matter of disappointment to the citizens of Quebec that they have been debarred from giving any token of welcome to the troops on their arrival. This is,. of course, owing Rrincipally to the'fact that the station tit which' the Rivicre du Loup branch' of the railway joins the . n2ainqine_of the Grank Trunle_tO Montreal is•the%Chaudiere, distant five miles from the Point Levi terminus of the road, opposite Quebec itself, and one would- not recommend the crossing of the St. Lawrence in winter as a pleasure excursion. We have not, liiifrevar, been entirely destitute of arrivals, inasmuch' as on' Sunday, the 24th inst., Captain Carey's - cOtripiany of Artillery arrived at Point Levi, and, crossing the river in canoes, a novelty which the men rather appeared to enjoy, marched from the landing-place to their barracks in high spirits and health. The following gives the stations of the various troops now in the,province, as recently deterreined upon . " Montreal-Two field batteries of Artillery, one garrison ditto Royal Artillery, two battalions Foot Guards, one company of Sappers and Miners, the Ist battalion of the 16th and 47th Regiments, and one battalion of the Military Train. " Quebec—Three batteries of Royal Artillery, the Ist battalion of the 17th Regiment, 4th battalion of the 60th Rifles. " Kingston—Two batteries of Royal Artillery, the 62d Regiment, and four companies of the Royal Canadian Rifles. " Toronto—One field battery of Royal Artillery, the 30th Regiment, and one company of Sappers. Hamilton—One battery of Royal Artillery, one battalion of the Rifle Brigade. "London—One field battery of Royal Artillery, the 63d Regiment (head-quarters), Royal Canadian Rifles (headquarters), one battalion of the Military Train. "Guelph—Four companies of the 63d Regiment. " St. John's, Lower Canada—Three companies of Canadian Rifles. " Chambly—One company of the Royal Cana dian R:fic,,s. " Ile-aux-Noix—One battery of the Royal Artil lery, one company of the 47th Regiment. " Victoria Bridge, North Side—Detachment of the 47th Regiment. "Niagara—One company of the Royal Canadian Rifles. " Port Dalhousie—Fifty men of the Royal Cana dian Rifles. " Port Colborne —Fifty men of the Royal Can a dian Rifles. "Dunville—Forty men of the Royal Canadian Rifles. " St. Catherine's—One company of the 30th Regiment." The four last-named places, at 'which small de tuchments are posted, are situate upon the Welland Canal. The interest and feeling aroused throughout the Militia of the province at the first probabilities of war do not appear to have since suffered any sub stantial abatement ; and the formation of volunteer companies of rifles, as portion of the active force, has, up to the present time, been vigorously pur sued. It has, indeed, somewhat impeded the work ing of the Militia General Order, which required the enrolment of one company of each battalion of sedentary Militia to be ready for service at 24 hours' notice, and may perhaps be taken as a somewhat practical proof that the people prefer acquiring an actual knowledge of military duties at once, and without delaying until called into actual service. Wh a tever be the merits of the two systems, active and sedentary, there can be but little doubt that the former is, under present circumstances, the most popular. The most complete results in this respect have been attained in Montreal, where, in additicn to their prior strength, a battalion of six companies, and another of 10 companies, have been gazetted within the last week, the strength of each company being 75 men. They have voluntarily submitted to drills at any available periods of time, principally in the long evenings, and are said to have arrived, in consequence, at great proficiency. Throughout the principal cities in Canada the municipal authorities have given such assistance as lay in their power in placing public buildings at the disposal of the Militia for purposes of drill; and it is a spectacle which affords room for some reflec tion that in the Crystal Palaces or exhibition build ings of Toronto and Montreal the'emblem . sjof peace, the rightful tenants—may be seen in one nave, in strong contrast to the munitions of war in another. It is doubtful, however, whether any further organisations will now take place, as a Com mission will at once be issued by the Govern ment fortahneada and theeousiderati preonopfatrhaetioen of any bill for Militiaili system ot .

The four last named gentlemen are colonels commanding dis tricts of Militia, and, with the exception of Colonel Cameron, were members of the Militia Commission of 1854, from which the present militia law emanated. They will, therefore, have the advantage of reconsidering the conclu sions arrived at on the prior occasion of their meeting, and of comparing them with the re sults which have been obtained, and which latter, it may be confessed, have not been successful.

The utmost exertions of eight men were required to draw the net to the river bank, when it was dis covercd, to the surprise of the spectators, that at least 22 cwt. of fish, consisting of bream and pike, were encircled in the net. Tho weight of each fish varied from half a pound to ''our and a.half pounds. 7, ,e,t, NEWSPAPER . • r 47; 1 ; :4` I° IZ POLICE IN TELLI I IENC AP.

The defendant having been bound over was then discharged.. .• LAMBETH:---Mr. Smith, one of the curates of the parish of St. Mary Newington, applied to the Hon. G. C. Norton for the assistance of an officer of the court to accompany him to a house in Baker street, Walworth-roadawhere he understood a child. was confined and treated in a cruel manner by its parents. Mr. Norton desired Spinks, one of the summoning officers, to accompany the rev. gentleman, and in a short time that officer brought into court a poor little boy of five years of age and his mother. The Rev. Mr. Smith-informed his worship that he had accompanied the officer to the house, No. 1, Baker-street, and there found, in a small back room on the third floor, the poor child then in charge of Spinks, in a wretched state. From what he (Mr. Smith) could learn it appeared that the poor child was the illegitimate offspring of a tradesman, who at the time of its birth, and subsequently, lived in the Walworth-road, and that eighteen months or two years ago the mother went to live with a shoe maker named- Beresford, by whom she had had two other children, and on one of these a coroner's in quest bad been' holden. Mr. Norton asked what was the result of that inquiry. • K. Mr. Smith—l believe it was found that the child had been overlayed by :the, mother; and met its death in that way. Thep "resent child, as you will see, is in a frightful state, and must have been shamefully neglected, as Dr. Iliffe, who is present, will inform you. The poor child,. who is tall for his age (five years), and has a remarkably intelligent countenance, was here placed standing on the table iu front of the ' bench, and on his scanty clothing being taken up by Spinks and his limbs exposed, a cry of horror burst forth from all parts of the court, for a more pitiable or shocking sight it was impossible to imagine. The other parts of the body were equally distress ing to behold ; the breast bone stuck prominently out, as did also the ribs, and all appeared like a perfect skeleton, covered with a brownish unhealthy looking skin. Iu fact, had the poor little fellow been exhumed after six months' interment, the spectacle would not have been more horrifying. Dr. Iliffe, one of the churchwardens of the parish of Newington, said lie accompanied the Rev. Mr, Smith and the officer to the house in Baker-street, where they found the child in a back room, and he understood that for Line or twelve months the poor little fellow had not been out of the room in which he .was found. The consequence was that for want of proper air and intctcourse with others the poor child was becoming idiotic, and for some time after their enterinc , the room he was not able to speak at all. tie had evidently been grossly ne glected. end was suffering frcm want of proper care and insufficiency of food. The mother here said she gave the child all she could afford, namely, two meals a day; and owing to the person with whom she lived not having much work they were very poor. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, site admitted that the child's father allowed her ss. a week from the time of its birth up to last spring, but since then he had done nothing for her. Mr. Norton—How could you allow a child to be . in the state this poor child is in —for, I confess, I never saw anything more shocking than the spec tacle this poor little fellow presents—without going to the parish and getting something done for it, is to me surprising. Mother—l did go to the parish, and all they offered to do for me was to take myself and my two children into the house. Mr. Norton—What has caused the discolouration of the child's eye ? Mother—To tell the truth I did it myself, I struck him with the cane. Spinks, the officer, here produced a cane which be found in the room, and which the child said he had been beaten with by both his mother and Beresford. Mr. Norton here directed the child to be taken to Newington workhouse, and held the mother to bail to appear on a future day, when the case will be further investigated. During the examination the poor child kept ex claiming " What a beautiful light !

Mr. Lewis, sen., appeared on behalf of the pro secution, and stated that the prisoner had been for many years the paid assistant secretary of the lodge called the Southwark Bud of Hope, held at the Angel Tavern, and the utmost confidence had been reposed in him, owing to his position among the members. He, however, had taken advantage of that confidence, and plundered the society to a very serious extent.

The Court of Common Council held a special meeting yesterday, pursuant to adjournment, for the purpose of further considering a report by the Bridge-house Estates Committee, recommending the erection of a new bridge of cast iron, of three arches, at Blackfriars, after the plans and estimates of Mr. Thomas Page, at a cost of £245,000. Sir TotiN MUSGROVE presided as locum tenons of the Lord Mayor. There was a very fall attend ance, and the proceedings were of an animated de scription. It may be as well to remind our readers that a special meeting of the court was held on the 24th of January to consider the report in question, and that upon this occasion an amendment was pro posed by Mr. Deputy Fry, to the effect that the re:: port of the committee should not be agreed to, but that the subject should be sent back to them for re consideration, with power to obtain professional as sistnice, if they should consider it advisable to do so, and to report again to the court. The amend ment was seconded by Mr. Kearns, who has taken a very active part in opposition to the proposed scheme, and the further debate was then adjourned until yesterday. Alderman ALLEN, before the besiness for which the court was specially summoned commenced, pre sented petitions from the captains and owners of barges and other craft Bavigating.the river, pray ing the court to sanction the erection of a bridge of three arches, as best calculated for the purposes of the river traffic, and to prevent accidents. Upon the motion of Deputy FRY, the petitioners were called on to appear at the bar, and a number of questions were put to them by different members of the court, and this proceeding occupied a consi derable time. Mr. BLAKE also presented a petition from the rector, churchwardens, and other officers of the parish of Christchurch, praying the court not to sanction the erection of the proposed bridge, on the ground that it would seriously damage the property on the Surrey side of the bridge by causing the level to be raised 3 feet 6 inches. The debate upon the original motion was then proceeded with. Dr, ABRAHAM, who was the first speaker, said he was not one of those members of the Midge house Committee who had changed his mind several times upon this question as to which was the most expedient plan to be adopted, a three-arch or a four-arch bridge; but having carefully considered all the plans that were sent in by the eminent engi neers who had been consulted upon the subject, he had come to the conclusion that a three-arch bridge was the one best calculated for the accommodation of the traffic of the river, which, it appeared to him, was the real point to bo considered. Sir John Rennie and Mr. Barlow, two most eminent engi neers, to whom all the facts had been submitted, by their reports and estimates were decidedly in favour of a three-arch bridge, and appeared to con sider that a bridge of this construction was the only one calculated to meet the requirements of the case; and when the committee came to the con elusion to adopt the plan sent in by . Mr. Pilge he felt himsvtf t ins i tified . in supPtirting that reso lution. .(11.sav,Aear.) The hon. member cOnclnied. by stating thatAthouhhe shoula support , the mo tion that the stilled shoufdunder — go further ; eonsi.. deration:‘ he fjlt li satisfied that . a three arch bridge was the one that should be.aaopted. Alder%an rtosE fiad no hesitation in expressing his' opinion that : Vl° matter had. not been sufficiently • diseussd in the mina' . itYc'c t and that if proper op portukiity .lita,,d/been , liffed e d the members to have dale FO it would have been shown• that-a ,thre rnrch bridge was not _the. most desirable ore for the pnrppse in view. (Bear, hear.) The plan of , Page no ttoubt looked very pretty on paper; but he' admitted-that he had made a mistake of 3 feet 6 inches in his levels, and if this were so he thought if Ivasonly fair to the other eminent engineers who had sent in plans that they should also be permitted to send in Yetised estimatesiund he. should, there- . fore, support the antendment_that the subject should o back to the committee forlurther.consideration. (Hear.) : Mr. DE JErtsEY said that the present bridge had only been. built 100 years, and that. 20 years ago £90,000 were expended upon it, and they were told that it would ilia for ever by some of the most emi nent engineers. ,(A laugh.) This opinion turned out to be erroneous, but it was not unt - e year 'lB6l that there was any suggestion for t rection of a new bridge. (Hear.) Th e hon. melitter pro . ceeded rst - Seme.lngth t 2, usto various objecti ons t o ' the litopTsed`schte - 'fß 4 t r three-arch - bridg e , an d concluded by expressing his opinion that it w ou ld be entirely premature to adoptthe recommendation of the - citmmittee,, who, in his opinion, hid exceeded their authority, and that the interests of the public and of the _corporation also demanded that the whole subject shuuld undergo further considera tion. - .. • , ~ . After - some further discussion, in which Mr.Lusk, Mr. Deputy Harrison, Mr. Alder man M ec hi , Mr. Bone, and others, took part, M rN o it t itis Al .P'asked the c h a i rman of the committee withdraw his motion, and consent to the proposition for the further consideration of th e subject. Mr. Committee) YALAC (chairman_ ofthe._ Bridge-house at once conse n t e d to do so ; and Estates he said that, without reference to the apparent feeling of the court, it appeared to him that since their last meeting, in consequence of the London, Chatham,' and Dover Railway Company having applied to Parliament and introduced a bill autho rising them to erect a. large station on _the south side of the bridge, the position of affairs was so al tered that he was free to admit that he felt himself that it would not be advisable to proceed with th e tion th a t th e report of erection of a new bridge at present, and that th e subject ought to undergo further considerati on . ot ( (Hear, et e h a e r , hear.)court,committee w t He be h e should da rgar we agreed h i t ts h om e:eftre, with th e consent (Hear, hear.) o• The. amendment of Deputy Fry was then put as an original motion.

The Glasgow, screw frigate, built at Portsmouth from designs furnished from the office of Sir Bald win W. Walker, K.C.8., when that distinguished officer was Surveyor of the Navy, and recently launched at Portsmouth, made her first cfficial trial of speed yesterday at the measured mile in Stokes Bay. The Glasgow is of 3,038 tons, being 424 tons larger than the Victory, flagship of the Commander in-Chief at Portsmouth, or than the Britannia, naval cadet training ship at Portland, both of which are three deckers. Her engines are of 600-horse power nominal, from the manufactory of Messrs. Raven hill, Salkeld, and Co., working with a Griffith pro peller. Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the re serve at the port, had charge of the ship, which was under way at an early hour, and by 10 a.m. had steamed outside well to the southward. The ship's head was soon afterwards brought round, and she was at once placed on the trial ground, over which she made six runs, the mean of which gave the ship a speed in knots of 13200, with the maximum number of revolutions at 60 ; pressure of steam 201 b. ; vacuum, 25 ; draught of water forward,l7ft. 10in., and aft 19ft. Gin. It - will be- seen by these figures that the ship was at a light draught, but the result was satisfactory and the performance of the machinery was everything that 'could be wished for, there being no hot bearings or failure of any kind throughout. Messrs. Murdoch and Miller superintended the trial bn behalf of the Govern ment ; Mr. Sohn Ravenhill and Mr. Hodges at tended on the part of the contractors, the engines being in charge of their foreman, Mr. Elliott. A committee hasheen formed, by directions from the Admiralty, of Capts.
