Together with remarks on spec:tie erupiions and the modern treatment of Syphilis, and Local Debility or Spermatorrhma. - • Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual," from the lips of all classes. I': r many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy bunion', that never wearied by its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ha known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the noble , purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be 011rld wit , out the help of a grave-yard servant, and all eho have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighel over his human tenderness, arc now earnestly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in the li,ing and due to the dead.

A Bill embracing the proposed objects Cornhill of the present Company was Wore the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders I.t.id the first and second reading, it was subm itted to the Select Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Gove rnment and the other Bill s occu pi e d the attention of the Committee till the latter en.. ; d o f . May, when this Bill was called on , an d the evidence gone i „ ? . .but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through t he Rouse of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large 444 useless expenditure, by the advice of Co unsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded with in the next Parliament : , u The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Sess ion removes all uncer tainty as to the extent of interference by the leg islature with regard t o Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under. taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the means Act, arid likewise to offer to the capital ist a p erfectly secure ' , loans of investment. The objects of this Company are : To afford an unlimited and constant supply, at high pressure, of a Pure, transparent, sparkling water, filtered, cold, and at an equal tern berature at all seasons, to the Inhabitants within the ambit of Rich- In und on the West—Deptford on the East—the Thames on the North —and Merton, Mitcham, Streatham, and Norwood, on the South, in ' u ding the densely populated localities of Lambe th, Southwark, &c. - , -- and to afford this supply to the topmost floors of the highest build ing within these districts. To supply such water in bulk to Public Bodies, Baths and Wash houses, at a very low rate of charge. To improve, by a complete and independent system of deep imper- Meable sewerage, the sanitary condition of the inhabitants of those districts, through or near which the River Wandle flows, thereby affording the means for the complete drainage of every house. The River Thames, the common sewer of the fniliiois living upon ' i f' banks, is the source from which the two existing Water Compa nies South of that river, take their supply. The Thames Water throughout contains sulphates and chlorides Of i some sort, which " no amount m boiling can separate ;" and be sides these, it is impregnated with th e S ewerage of this immense district, and receives in addition the washings of many thousand acres of richly manured agricultural land. m i Fo t t r ee nz the well as abundant evidence recent as able given r e e p r f t or b before the e distinguished a i l a e n t a 5 r Parliamentary C o . D. on Water as supplied from Thames Litton, it is clearly shown that "no other conclusion can be derived at than these Waters are totally unfit for the supply of a large fine But at a far higher point,namely,e :raper cannot b e ma d e w i t h it, Maidenhead, the water of the its River Thames is so impure, h whilst in the case of the Wandle, water is constantly used in the manufacture of paper of the finest texture and most delic a t e co l our . The Water of the River Wandlehbaly eminent g n be en en celebrated for its if Lly d pr great purity, and its recent analysis con firm the high character given to it b y th e late tilstes, d fu r r h . e T m e i Bostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on Water supply. As regards the quantity, it can be shown that, in the districts mentioned, the aggregate supply of the existing Water Companies does not exceed Nine and a half Million Gallons dally ll F a u p e an t i h es e River Wandle, as proved before the Committee, can ye imum supply of upward s of Twenty-seven Million Gallons, a nt nire . Maximum of upwards of Forty-four Million Gallons daily, By the plan proposed to be adopted, all impurities win be cow _ pleteiy excluded by means of intercepting sewers and drains. The water in its unpolluted state will be conveyed through filtering beds to Subterraneoug Reservoirs, and from thence distributed in its wire, soft, and cool condition, at constant and high service direct to the consumer. Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is aware of the high charge for the present inferior and insufficient su PP I Y. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy al „ u ne, they must command the preference of consumers; but when c . ",e n Purity of the water is considered, and that the supply will be smrsea od. 'twit and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su- Thes c om e advantages will at once ensure a large revenue to t d h e ls ri,,:l a nY, in addition to which, there will be the income to be •"-, from the unsupplied suburban districts, and from houses un ',Wiled in 'at 0 urban district , , from Water supplied to large con suersil and for sanitary and other purposes, and from t he disposal the Sewage for manure. There will thus be a m p l y sufficient to yield a n early dividend of more than 71. per cent. on the Capital p d: . annex of all working expenses, rates, and other contingen- At the request of these gentlemen, Miss Eliza Cook has consented to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary Secretary. Subscriptions will he received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, strand ; at the office of Eliza Cook's Journal, 3, liaquet•court, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook, 54, Great Onnonde-street, Bloomsbury ; altd by Mr. John Watkins, 34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

In another column will be found an epistle from Lord Maidstone to Mr. Macaulay —a composition which, considering the relative position of the par ties concerned, and the solemn circumstances which usher in the impending session, may well serve to il lustrate that remarkable law o f our nature w hi c h generally couples the grave with the gay, the serious with the foolish, the ridiculous with the sublime. We are not sure, indeed, that Mr. Macaulay would not have better suited the dignity of the occasion, as well as his own, by suffering Lord Maidstone's hexameters, together with their author, to sleep in the obscurity which properly befitted them. We can only account for his reference to such a topic on the principle which leads dramatists and painters to diversify their grandest objects with a few grotesque images, in order to set off to greater advantage the more strik ing characters and scenes in their compositions. Lord Maidstone does not seem fully aware of the purely artistical purpose for which he and his hexameters and his late rapid conversion were introduced into Mr. Macaulay's speech ; so he writes in a tone of mingled apology and defiance, asking consideration in one sentence, and proclaiming no quarter in another. His Lordship is a poor complaining soul. There is nothing light or cheery about him. He has a quarrel with mankind, with Mr. Macaulay, with the electors of Westminster, with Sir J. Shelley, and Gene ral Evans, with Sir Ja mes Graham, as he dro p s out incidentally, and not the least wit h himself. Lord Maidstone doubtless thinks he ought to be a states man, being born to that rank, and having started in life with very fair prospects. But to be born a states man, without the possibility of ever being one, is enough to sour any man's disposition. His lordship, having in a manner forfeited his birthright, is at war with the whole world. His hand is against every man, and every man's hand is against him. " Be ware who touches me," he exclaims, as if he wished to be touched for an opportunity of letting out what had been long pent up in his soul. But the penalty of touching him is not very serious, if all the damage he can do Mr. Macaulay, with the very best inten tions, is to tell him he is not a sound historical autho rity, that he has made some mistakes, and that he has been ungenerous to Lord Maidstone in attacking a man who could not answer in person. Mr. Macau lay will not sink under these terrible accusations. His authority is above Lord Maidstone's impeach ment ; and there cannot be much cowardice in attack ing a man who has spent a life in collecting a vocabu lary of abuse, and rolling it up into hexameter pellets, for discharge at the first assailant. But all that Mr. Macaulay has said is, that Lord Maidstone was'converted very suddenly from a furious eater of Sir Robert Peel into a humble believer in Free Trade. Lord Maidstone exclaims that his motives are impugned, and claims the immunities of a conscientious convert. "Duty," he says, " excuses every man who changes his opinion conscientiously from the charge of inconsistency." Why, who denied you, my Lord, the right of changing your mind ? Not Mr. Macaulay, or anybody that we know of, ex cepting yourself. You have yourself laid down in your immortal hexameters that every one who changes his mind is a rogue. This charitable and most comfortable doctrine is your own, propounded specially for the use of Sir R. Peel, but recoil ing on your own head. So now, like that ingenious gentleman of Syracuse, you are roasting in your own bull, and bellowing loudly enough to do honours to your own workmanship. When Lord Maidstone next addresEes the populace of West minster, and finds them insensible to the charms of his eloquence, he threatens to speak to them in legends, like the figures in old windows. He need be at no loss for the matter of these legendary scrolls. Let him cut out of his books all the rubbish he has written against " the apostate Peel," and exhibit it round his own noble person as the best account he can give for suddenly adopting Peel's measures. Per haps, however, something like a difference will be necessary in applying to himself the heraldic decora tions he has granted to Sir Robert. Let him state, then, in addition, that Peel was converted by a fa mine, and Lord Maidstone by unparalleled prosperity; that Lord Maidstone tried to come in as a Protec tionist, and, only when that failed, tried for another place as a F ree -t ra d e r ; and that the conversion cost Sir Robert his power, but did not procure for Lord Maidston© a seat.—Times. • _ ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.

Railway arnalgation has now been brought, in its true character and purport, plainly and distinctly before the public. We yesterday reported the speech( on this question of two eminent chairmen, who quoted the opinions of three others, and, as their suggestions were accepted by the assembled proprietaries, we may assume that the mind of the railway interest is sub• stantially m.ide up. Taken from the evidence of these very authorities, the case for hearing is as to-- lows :—There are too many railways in the country. These undertakings have been projected and executed without any due consideration of what public con venience required, and the result is an overgrown and ill-distributed system of communications. The error thus originally created is made worse by the particu lar species of rivalry in which the several companies have indulged—a rivalry which (we borrow the di rectors' own words) entails upon themselves a need less and wasteful expenditure without any correspond ing advantage to the public. This is the case. Die remedy proposed is that Parliament, which already leaves facilities for virtual combination, should sane- tion an actual amalgation of competing interests so final and permanent as to settle the whole question for all future time,and reduce the railway communications of the country to one great incorporated monopoly. With more or less candour the speakers generally ad mitted that certain restraints, restrictions, or regu lations would be called for in the interests of the public, to protect the population from those into whose hands they would be thus delivered. Before we can accept the question exactly as the directors propound it, there are several points involv ing some doubt to be taken for granted. It must be assumed that the railway communications of the country - are superfluously convenient, whereas Mr. Russell himself, the chairman of the Great Western, confessed in his letter upon this subject that the Legislature was not unlikely to take an opposite view of the point. It must be assumed that competition cannot exist between railways, although one of the chief arguments of the Midland Chairman on Wed nesday for the project of amalgamation was " the great competition among railways, which was going forward all round." It must be assumed, finally, that this competion, thus going forward, has been so ingeniously devised and conducted, that the public really does not get any advantage from it whatever, but that, contrary to all precedent and reason, corn panics have contrived to fall out without permitting a single customer to get his due. Omitting, however, these exceptions, let us suppose that, in railway language, the "preamble" has been proved. Two companies, therefore, appear before the Legislature, desiring to be turned into one, on the principal ground that more than one never ought to have existed. One of them, therefore, by its own present confession, must have betrayed Parliament into the sanction of an undertaking so unnecessary, wasteful, and injurious, that what was then done requires now to be undone by the same authority. Nothing, on such showing. can possibly be plainer than that those parties alone should be damnified by the result through whose misrepresentations it oc curred. We observe, indeed, that it was attempted to charge all the responsibility of these transactions on the Legislature itself, as if the assent given by Parliament to the sworn depositions of railway pro moters exonerated those promoters from all obliga tions as to the truth or genuineness of k their appeals. The sooner this argument is put out of sight the better will it be for those who, with such an assertion in their mouths, are now going before Parliament again. It will b e a somewhat extraordinary proceed ing to apply for a second hearing on the ground that the applicants had proved themselves unworthy of credit in the first. Every one knows how these bills were passed, and by what means the consent of the Legislature was obtained. It was obtained only by desperate importunity, and upon the most elaborate affidavits. These very parties, who now charge Par liament with a false decision, procured this decision by the production and array of all kinds of testimo nies and witnesses, and by declaiming, demonstrating and swearing that the line or lines now sought to be swamped or neutralized were absolutely indispensable to the traffic and accommodation of the district, all presumptions and arguments to the contrary notwith standing. They must now be judged by their own words. Their attempted exculpation is preposterous. On the same grounds any debtor might evade pay ment of a debt by representing that he was a tho roughly good-for-nothing fellow, who never ought to be trusted. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. Taking matters, however, as they stand, without inquiry into faults or causes, and accepting the vo luntary declaration of the directors, that they are ut terly incurable, what are the securities desirable to prevent these gentlemen from treating the public as ill as, by their own showing, they have treated each other ? If they cannot refrain from cutting each others' throats, though no kind of profi tresults from the pastime, is it likely that they will refrain from like practices on the public when the amusement will be attended with prospects of pecuniary gain ? The amalgamating directors represent that railway trans action are now all gratuitously conducted in dupli cate, that there are two companies, two lines, and two sets of trains, where one set, one line, and one company would have answered the purpose as well, or better. They propose, therefore, in each of these particulars to substitute single action for double. But But there is another point. Over and above double railways there are double capitals, but we do not observe any proposal for cutting these down in the like manner. On behalf of the public, however, ,we have here to remark, that we have quite as much objection to double capitals as directors have to double companies, and that we have at least as much warrant for protesting. One of the two capitals in a question like this must necessa rily represent a line which never ought to have been constructed at all, but which was constructed in de , ference to the importunities of those who now decry it. In the most favourable view of the case it was either a mistaken speculation at first, or has become so through incurable mismanagement. But neither mismanagement nor mistake can possibly warrant a transfer of the consequences to the public. If capital has been invested in a losing or a superfluous concern, those who placed it there must abide by the result. The first condition, therefore, of the concession now demanded should be the general immunity of the public from those obligations which pertain to others. The common stock on which interest is to be exacted HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. ELECTION OF SPEAKER. After the return of the House from the Lords, Mr. R. PALMER rose, and addressing Sir D. Le Merchant, the Chief Clerk of the House, said it now de volved on tho House of Commons, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, to proceed to the performance of its first, asd one of its most important duties, viz.., se lecting from among their own body some Hon. Member who should fill during the present Parliament the Chair of the House. He did not undertake the task of ad dressing the House on such a subject without consider able hesitation, for he was well aware of the great ler sonal responsibility which attached to any person who ventured to propose an Honourable Mem ber for so high and important a post, knowirg that upon his ability, and the efficiency with which he discharged his duties, all the regularity of their proceed ings must deperea ; but on the present occasion he was fortunately relieved from any difficulty in this respect, for he rejoiced to see among them again his Right Hon. Friend, the Member for North Hampshire,—(Cheers)— who had filled the chair of this House during the last 13 years with so much advantage to the country, and so much honour to himself—(Cheers)—and who had ren dered it a less difficult task to select the best qualified among them for that high and distinguished situation. (Hear.) Under these circumstances he did not think it necessary to trespass on the attention of the House by any detailed information on the various duties that at tached to the Speaker of the House of Commons. (Hear.) They were sufficiently well known to most hon. members who had before sat in the House. Suffice it to say, there fore, that in the choice of a Speaker they must look for some individual whose intimate acquaintance with the law and practice of Parliament would render him at all times a ready exponent of all those rules and orders by which their proceedings were regulated, so as to enable them on all occasions to confidently rely on his deci sions. They must also look for a person who would up hold and defend the ancient rights and privileges of the House of Commons, if they should at any time become the object of an attack from any quarter—privileges which were not granted to the House of Commons for individual benefit, but for the benefit of the community whom they were sent there to represent. (Heir.) They must also look for a gentle_ man who in the midst of party contest, and sometimes of debate, was enabled to lay aside all party feeling, and to maintain, while presiding over their proceedings, strict and undeviating impartiality. (Hear.) For all those qualifications, every one who had witnessed the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman in the chair would agree with him, that ho had proved himself to be most emi nently respected. (Cheers.) He thought he might add that, in upholding the dignity of the office, and in pre serving an equal and unruffled equanimity of temper under all circumstances, his Right lion. Friend had not been surpassed by any of his predecessors. (Loud cheers.) He thought ho had said sufficient to induce all Hon. Members who had before sat in the House to agree with him in the motion which ho was about to make ; but if he were permitted to say one word to that large number of Honourable Members who had for the first time been sent there to take part in the deliberations of that House, he could assure them that they would always find his Right Hon. Friend ready to assist them by his advise and experience if any difficulty should arise in the transaction of the private and other business with which they might be entrusted. (Hear, hear.) He re joiced to think that on the present occasion it had not been considered necessary to make the question of choice of Speaker the test of party feeling. Such had occurred before ; but it was to him a matter of extreme gratification to find that no party:considerations called upon him on this occasion to surrender those feelings of private friendship and personal regard which he enter tained for the Right HOB. Gentleman. He was sure that all those who bad witnessed his condnct in the chair would agree that his uniform conduct in his high position had more than proved the wisdom of the choice made by the House in the year 1839, confirmed as it had been on two subsequent occa sions by the unanimous approval of the House. He trusted that the House would now agree with an equal degree of equanimity, and place his Right Hon. Friend for the fourth time in the chair without a dissentient voice. (Cheers.) He thought that by so doing they would offer to his Right Hon. Friend the only reward they had in their power to offer, for the eminent services which he had already rendered to the House and which, ho was convinced, he would continue to render with equal zeal and ability, only, perhaps, with more effici envy in con,equenco of his increased and mature ex perience. Without any further preface, he then moved that the Right lion. Shaw Lefevre he elected Speaker of the House. (Loud cheers.) Lord R. GROSVENOR seconded the motion. As the Right Hon. Gentleman had formerly belonged to the party which sat upon this side of the House, it, no doubt, would be more agreeable to him, and more pleasing, that that unanimity which was so desirable should seem to prevail in his election to the highest office in that. House, and that one at least of his nominators should be a member of her Majesty's Opposition. (Cheers.) He could have wished that some one more qualified than himself had been selected to give weight to the opinion entertained of the Right Hon. Gentleman on that side of the House, of the qualities of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He, however, had been selected as an unofficial organ of that party, because as it was perhaps, well known, it was not usual for a Member holding high office, or who had held high office, to pro pose a candidate for the chair. It gave him, however, great satisfaction to have this public opportunity afforded him of bearing witness to the manner in which Mr. Shaw Lefevre had performed the arduous duties of that station, and he was quite sure that ho was giving utterance, not only to his own opinion, but to the sentiments of every gentleman on that side of the House, when he said that not only w ere th e y p rou d o f h is Right Hon. Friend as having sprung from that party of which they were members, but also entirely setting aside all party feeling—that they were more proud of him as a member of that legislature to which they all belonged. (Cheers) The merits of the Right Hon. Gentleman were so well known, not only to the members of that House, but also to the public at large, that it would be a work of supererogation to dilate upon them at any length ; and certainly, upon this occasion, it would be extretnely unnecessary, after the good taste and good feeling evinced by the Hon. Member for Berkshire, in proposing the Right Hon. Gentleman. Before sitting down, however, he would take leave to make one remark, which he hoped would be found not quite foreign to the subject. It was said to bo one of the in firmities of human nature to give undue prominence to events passing around us at the present moment, and if we cast our eyes around, it would be acknowledged that, if there ever was a time when it was necessary that the Imperial Legislature now sum moned should bo presided over by a person of undoubted ability and talent, it was the present. At a time when the liberties of Europe, when the right of full and open discussion, and the right of public opinion hung by a thread—at a moment of this sort he was sure that it would be acknowledged that the character of that House was deeply involved by the manner is :which its pro ceedings would be carried on. It became us then to act with unusual calmness, to take the utmost care that that liberty of free thought and free assertion which we so happily enjoyed should not be abased for any per sonal party or factious purposes, but that we should guard that right committed to us, he might say with out any exaggeration for the benefit of mankind at large. It this were the position of affairs, as he thought he could gather, it was from the assent with which his remarks had been received by a portion of the House, assuredly it was a matter of the greatest urgency that they should have over them a g entleman whose nice discernment, discriminating judgmen t , n largo and varied experience, and whose fatigable attention so eminently qualify him for t in which, that position. At a period like the even throwing aside any other disturbances bat those to which be bad alluded, the nicely-balance d ties would render that office ono of ver y should have tress it was most necessary that the gr . eat difficulty, head one of experience and ability . but would 11:311ewuoeuld not pass:longer upon the attentioritiofn, which s e , understood conclude by seconding the motion, to be that the Right Hr. Gentleman the Member for Hampshire was the mosforparolpoenrg isnedriievsidoufalyetoarsfi,llwthhialet chair, being a MID who, maintaining to the utmost t h h e a had independence, conciliated and dignity of that House, good will, respect, and esteem of every member of every class, and of every party of that House. (Loud cheers.) After of a few moments there being no sign of o ppositio a n P t a"e oth G e s motion, Sir R. H. IN said, that he rose not s o muc h to congratulate his Right Hon. Friend, but far more to congratulate the House upon having a person of so largo an ex perience proposed to fill the Chair. It would be needless to add a single word as to the personal fitness of the Right Hon. Gentleman,—but it was not unfit, nor unnecessary perhaps to recall to the recollection of some and to take the liberty of stating to others, what a very different amount of time and labour were here required from the Speaker compared to former periods, and that time, and that labour had been bestowed most cheerfully, most actively, most service beneficially for th e public by the Right Honour able Gentleman. (Cheers.)A hundred years ago, not perhaps one tenth t h e labour which now devolve upon him was required from the occupant of that chair. A hundred Years ago they had but three debates, and fifteen divisions, but in the last year there had been 224 diTiliollO f and the Speitker in the executio 9f hie duties should be regulated, in this respect, with equitable adjustments. Nobody would desire that the stock of one proprietary should be rigorously sacri ficed, but neither, on the other hand, can any claim be put in for its absolute recognition. The next condition should apply to the lines themselves. Directors must not be left in the unrestricted privi- lege of saying what line should be closed, and what left open ; or what train should run, and what be sup pressed. At present the competition which railway managers are so eager to disparage does certainly secure us some amount of accommodation, and if this competition is withdrawn we must have what Mr. Disraeli would term a " countervailing" check. In short, as the proposed amalgamation, if fully car ried out, would reduce our railway system to the continental form, we must get the advantages of this form, along with its drawbacks, as far as we can. Directors cannot expect to unite for their special benefit the opposite conveniences of private enterprize and chartered monopoly. Government indulgence must, to a great extent, carry with it Go vernment supervision ; and, if railway managers can not conduct themselves in the ordinary way of business, they must be made amenable to extra ordinary control.

The memorial, however, pro ceeds to complain of a practice originating in these erro neous doctrines, which cm scarcely be distinguished from the auricular confession of the Church of Rome. " I agree with the memorialists in believing this prac tice to be equally unscriptural in principle and mis chievous in effect.

The essential object of 'this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery In Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other ciass of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country , and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient ;uarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every Instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

ELEGANT AND USEFUL. IQI . MOSES and SON frequently employ three 12.4, words to designate two classes of Goods, one the Depart ment of Luxury and Taste, as that of elegant VESTS and TROWSERS, in ten thousand novel FASHION: I , STYLES, and SHAPES, for which their Establishments are universally celebrated ; the other for those STYLISH inventions in COATS and OVER COAT?, for which they have gained a world-wide fame, yet never were three words so practicably used as at the present season. ELEGANCE and USEFULNESS is displayed in such an array of fancy VESTS and TROWSERS as have not been presented on any previous SEASON. But E. MOSES and SON'S innumerable styles of WRAPPERS, CAPES, &c., &c., the names of which are too numerous for recapitulation, and the pecularities of which no words can describe, will, when purchased and worn, be an incontestible proof of E. MOSES and SON'S entire precedence over every other House—a distinction they have long enjoyed, and which they will never loose. Having purchased to their usual magnificent amount previous to any advance in the price of MATERIALS, their DRESS for this season will be charged very considerably LOWER PRICES, and be FAR BET TER in QUALITY than any offered elsewhere. EMIGRANTS PROVIDE FOR SEA OR LAND. E. MOSES and SON'S OUTFITS are suitable for any passage at any season ; they are prepared for any climate or occupation ; they have been procured by thousands of Emigrants, and at the same low prices, and of the same matchless quality, they can be secured by thousands more. Having many years attended to the OUTFITTING BUSINESS on the largest scale, E. MOSES and SON have the highest credentials of merit, having larger and more tradesmanlike transactions than zny other house, they can furnish the most corn ' plots and the best OUTFITS for the least money, and that every accommodation may be furnished to Emigrants at their Establish ment, they keep a separate department entirely for Outfits. All necessary information relative to sailing of vessels, cost of passage, &c., may be had on application, or Post ,free to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanliks falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " ft's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Fstablisbment, 154, 155, 156, and 151, Minories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. 1 London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, and 3, Hart-street, all communicating.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR ROLA BY CAUTERIZATION ; its Inefficiency and Danger. BY " F. B. CAY, Member of the Royal B College of Su N rgeons of England.

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and aril'. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks.

I —lloleliltr Lizard on the Treatment t Stricture. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. This being the last meeting during the present mayoralty, the Council Chamber was nearly filled with members, and the gallery crowded. Mr H. BLAKE, being called upon, proposed the follow ing resolution, viz., " That it ho referred to the freedoms committee to prepare a bill for extending the franchise at ward elections, and to report the same to this Court." After some discussion had taken place on the motion, Mr Cox moved that the report upon the freedom ques tion be referred back to the committee for execution; but ultimately this amendment was negatived by a ma jority of 76 to 22. Alderman LA.IVRILNCE then moved the prtvions question, which was also negatived ; but before the " original motion" was put, however, Aldermen Wire and Finnis escaped from the aldermanic bench by the aide door, leaving but one alderman (Lawrence) present. This circumstance being noticed, a member in his place exclaimed, "No Court." The Lord Mayor, however, sent the officer of the Court with the mace after the departed aldermen, hut upon his return he reported that he had sought for but could not find them. Much confusion ensued, several of the members declaiming loudly of what they stated to be " a trick played upon them;" Mr Anderton indignantly, though apparently triumphantly exclaiming, " Have you not now the proof that what I have told you with reference to the necessi for a reform of the Court of Aldermen is neither more nor less than the truth?" The LORD MAYOR then took leave of the Court. He said—l shall hand over to my successor, unsullied I trust, my insignia of office, while I wish both to yourselves and the Lord Mayor elect every happiness and pros perity. (Loud cheers.) Mr NORRIS, in the name of the Court, offered up a high eulogium upon the punctuality, urbanity, and gene rous character of the worthy chief magistrate on his re tirement, which was received with loud cheers, after which the protracted sitting terminated. MUNICIPAL BOROUGHS.—From a Parliamentary paper (yesterday issued), it appears by municipal boroughs in Englund and Wales in the year ended the 3 lst of August. 1851, amounted to (with the balances in hand) 1.254,4831. ls. 11-d., and the expenditure (with balances duo to treasurers) to 903,7211.4 a. llid.

(Choers Of laughter) tc , sito.tion in saying that the Right Hon, tad compressed into hie period of service, Ind more successful energy than any one asors. Hs most cordially supported the Hon. C. SHAW LEFEVRE claimed tin indulgence of the House before the motion was put, while ho made one or two observationy. (Hear, hear.) It was quite unnecessary for him to assure his Honour able Friend the Member for Berkshire, and his Nobic, r Friend the Member for Middlesex, that ho highly value4.l their friendship, while ho felt deeply sensible of the complimentary manner in which they had done him the honour to introduce his name to the House, (Hear, hear.) He hoped it was equally unnecessary for him to assure the House, that ho had not only listened to the speeches of his Honourable Friend with sincere pleasure, but he was also most sensible of the flittetiag reception which the House had been pleased to give to the proposition of his Honourable Friend, and he begged leave to assure the Hquse, that ho witnessed that recep tion with feelings of unfeigned gratitude. (Cheers.) Au experience of more than thirteen years had confirmed the opinion which he held soon after he had tilt , honour of a seat in Parliament, of the value and importance of those privileges which were enjoyed by the House, and which his Hon. Friend the Member for Berkshire had justly observed were vested in the Hoir..:l for the benefit of the community at large. (Hear, heat.) The orders and regulations which governed the proceed ings of the House had been framed with much wisdom, and they were well adapted to the principles fur which they were intended, namely, the dispatch of public busi ness ; but salutary as, those orders and rules were, hi, experience had also taught him the enormous amount of responsibility that attached to an individual in whoet was vested the guardianship of those privileges, and tis, power of enforcing those rules and orders of the Hons , e (Hear, hear.) His Hon. Friend the Member for the , University who, from his long standing in the House, was well qualified to speak upon the point, and whot opinion ought therefore to be highly respected, haa' ventured to give the House some ides of the onerous and laborious nature of the duties that devolved upon the office of Speaker ; now, even with that experience whiol he had referred to, ho should almost have hesitatedbin again undertaking those duties, but he felt that ho was under a debt of gratitude to the House for its unvarying kindness during the period that he had served in the chair, and that he had no alternative but to accept the office again. (Cheers.) He entertained a strong con viction that an honest determination on his part faith fully and impartially to discharge the duties imposed upon him, would not only meet with the indulgence, but also the cordial support and co-operation of the Home. (Cheers.) With these few observations, ho begged onca more to express his gratitude to the House for the man ner in which they had received his name, and to assure them, that whatever might be their decision upon the motion before them, he should most cheerfully bow to it. (Cheers.) The motion was then put by the Chief Clerk, and carried by acclamation—after which the Right Hon. Gentleman was conducted to the chair by the mover anii seconder of the motion, amidst loud and long-continued cheering. The SPEAKER having ascended the steps of the chair, said: Before taking his seat he must be allowed once more to thank the House for the compliment they had paid him, and to assure them that the renewed mark of their confidence would, if possible, cause him to re double his anxiety to discharge faithfully and impar tially the duties which belonged to the office of Speaker. (Cheers.) Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he must now be allowed to congratulate the Speaker upon having received to-day the highest honour which Eng lish gentlemen could confer upon any one who possessed their confidence and esteem. (Cheers.) Those who had preceded him had specified the great and eminent qualities necessary to be possessed by him who fills the seat which the Speaker now occupies, and he was there fore not called upon to dwell upon that branch of his subject. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") But ho remembered that during four Parliaments of the Queen the Speaker had occupied the same post that ho now filled ; and during that time, those who were old Mem bers of the House had frequent opportunities of witnes sing the courage with which the Right Hon. Gentleman vindicated the privileges of the House, and the firmnest• with which ho maintained order in their debates, and supported that impartiality which should always regulate their conduct. (Cheers.) He might perhaps without presumption, having had the honour of a seat in the House when the Right Honourable Gentleman was first elected to the chair, and having been a member of the House during the interval, be allowed to notice one trait in the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman which he had often observed. sad which he thought would have alone entitled the Right Hon. Gentleman to their increased confidence. (Hear, hear.) It was this—be had often observed that in those conflicts which occa sionally occur where mere routine could not guide the individual filling the chair—when he was, as it were, taxed upon a moment, the Right Hon. Gentleman's re sources have never failed him. lie had always been, in such u crisis, sustained by his ow❑ knowledge and zeal, as well as by the high respect which the House enter tained for him. (Cheers.) There was one other reason why he thought it was a subject of great congratulation that the House had elected the Right Hon. Gentleman, cud that was, that he could not but remember that in this new Parliament the individual on whom would de volve, in the first instance, the disposition and control of public business, had hardly had sufficient experience to make him fully conversant with the forms and regula lions of the House. (Hear, hear.) So far, however, as he himself was concerned, he felt he should never appeal i❑ vain either to the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, or to independent members on either side of the House, and under these circumstances he felt that the selection which the House had this day made would be alike satisfactory to all parties. (Cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL felt that it was a matter of the greatest importance, and one of the greatest good fortune that at this particular period, when there were so many Members of the House without experience, they should have to preside over them a gentleman who had already shown the highest qualifications for the eminent post of Speaker, and who, whenever it was necessary to enforce the orders and rules of the House did it with so much firmness and cour- tesy, that he always secured the willing obedience oven of those who might seem disposed to question his deci sion. (Cheers.) With regard to the o bservation of the Right lion. Gentleman opposite (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), in which he alluded to his short experience of the conduct of public business in the House, he must be permitted to say that he felt persuaded that any assistance which the House or s the Chair could render him in facilitating progress of public affairs would always be most cheertully given. (Cheers.) And it was right that it should be so, for it was of the utmost importance that they should continue to set that example to Europe which they had done for the last few years, of carrying on discussion with the utmost free dom, and yet at the same time with the utmost regard for decorum and propriety, as well as for the difficult situation in which the president of such an assembly as this must sometimes find himself. (Cheers.) Mr. HUME said, he had been requested to make a representation to the Sneaker on behalf of several mem bers of the House. It was very desirable that the Speaker should have better opportunities, than he bad enjoyed during the last three Parliaments, of becoming acquainted with Hon. Members, and he was most anxious that Members should have more frequent opportunitie_ of paying their respects to the Speaker. (Cheers.) 11- looked upon the Right Hon. Gentleman in the Chair e , the first commoner in the land. Hon. Members bad ha.i the opportunity of paying their respects to the Right Hon.
