The treatment ado chools of medicine both in thi s country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'llert, 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 1 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 guarantee 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 those eases.

TlMES.—Under the able tuition of Dr. Mlllale, and in furtherance of the ". solid peace and prospe rity" so sincerely promoted by this exemplary prelate, the Irish are invited to add to the national accom plishment of organized murder the desirable engage ments of systematic rapine. We are profoundly con scious of the difficulty attending every attempt to in vest the declamations of Ireland's agitators with the interest of stern realities ; hut, as a document has found its way to light which even Dr. API - tale's au dacity bad destined for privacy, we may as well turn the accident to some advantage, and bespeak the at tention of English readers to the object last selected for attainment by the creatures of English conces sion. The character in which these bigotted and intolerant Papists—these denouncers of every creed but their own—these sworn and banded persecutors of dissent, have resolved to come forward, is that of] " Friends of Religious Equality." Subtle and versatile as is the genius of Popery, we doubt whether any Pa pist, except an Irish Papist, would venture ro present himself to the world as a professed leveller of all reli gions in the eyes ofthe State. A week has hardly elapsed since our columns recorded a sentence of slavery pro nounced against two miserable Tuscans for no other crime, imputed or declared, than that of exercising a private judgment on the lessons of the Gospel, and yet Dr. APHale, acknowledging allegiance to this very code, and indignant that he cannot introduce these identical laws into the government of his coun try, expatiates on the virtues of spiritual equality, talks respectfully of " other denominations of Chris tians," and liberally recognises " three great divi sions" in the religions of Ireland. 'The "Friends of Religipus Equality" hataing.,Abus, constituted and styled themselves, proceed consistently to adopt as their mission the destruction and spoliation of the Irish Church Establishment, and we yesterday pub lished the " private and confidential" circular in which the best method of action was submitted to the dis cussion of the conspirators. In this precious docu ment several violations of " equality' are gravely stigmatized as absolutely unendurable. Those who forbid the erection of a place of worship at Rome complain of the " prohibition attaching in this country to certain spiritual functions ;" those who will not permit even a Popish layman to dis charge any office of government condemn the reggu lations excluding certain religionists from particular places of state, and those whose ineffaceable charac teristic is unscrupulous proselytism, denounce the " dark and dangerous agency of sectarian injustice" in making religious converts. But the prime con sideration of all is the method of seizing the Irish Church property, and dealing with it when obtained. The Irish confederates are modest enough to think that before their concerted rapine can be legalized it will be requisite to make out a case, not only for the plunder, but for the desired appropriation of the spoil ; and they sagaciously foresee some difficulty in the task. " Some gentlemen," says the circular, " are for the withdrawal of all public funds from all religious bodies." These "gentlemen," however, are not Irish gentlemen ; nor is this equality of destitution by any means the equality which Dr. M'llale approves. " Others, again," says the manifesto of the committee, "are of opinion that these revenues should be applied to the relief of the poor ;" but, as this proposition would operate to the direct benefit of landlords, and as the distribution of the funds thus obtained would not be effected through the machinery of the Popish priesthood, it finds no favour in the eyes of these re ligious Jacobins. 'The " education of the people "is the third alternative suggested; but the increase of enlightenment which might follow upon so large an extension of instruction is by no means an agreeable prospect to those who have done their best to stop all teaching whatever. When we say that the fourth suggestion is characterised as " very obvious," " sim ple,' and " equitable," the reader will anticipate that it provides for the transfer of all the existing church endowments to that particular community which, for equality's sake, is anxious to despoil the present pos sessors. This modest proposal is coloured by a hint that the proceeds might be distributed among the "re ligious denominations " of Ireland according to their respective numbers, and its attractions are qualified by a reflection that perhaps the State might require the performance of some public duties in consideration of such public endowments • but it is plainly the gist o f the whole scheme, th ou gh even Irish agitators are compelled to conclude that " great caution is neces sary" in a "matter" like this. Such are the inten tions of the new " Friendeed *kiwi Equality,": sit ting.in IS - preparatory Committee I .at`rDahlins-feettead r of circumstantially exposing a piece of impudence which, even in Ireland, is little less than prodigious, we tender the Sackville-street conspirators a little plain advice. Dr. M'Hale partakes enough 'of the serpent's wisdom to know what he is about, and, in his freely-worded estimates of ourselves, he has been pleased to say that we speak the mind of the English people. We hope the character is not generally undeserved, and we can assure him that it is thoroughly merited in the remarks which follow. Irish agitators, whether priestly or political, have had their day. They can utter no menace which will create the smallest alarm, and threaten no extremity which will not be quietly accepted. We have learnt what con cession did in the case of Emancipation ; its fruits, indeed, are before us at this very moment. We have found what firmness effected in one or two cases since, and these results are very preferable to the former. The new confederates will not obtain that " religious equality" which consists in endowing a sect sworn to extirpate all others with the substantial means of promoting its ends. They will not be re leased from those " spiritual prohibitions" which the Imperial Parliament. has thought it necessary to enact. They will not be permitted to acquire any furtherpo resolved,liticalpowe power or to exert injuriously what they possess alr ea d y . O n these points the British na tion is steadily and it possesses the means of enforcing its resolution. Dr. M'llale and his fellow conspirators are trifling with a power which can any day reduce them to nothing. At this very moment we believe a numerical majority of the population would be prepared to undo the work of 1829, and to encounter without apprehension the alternatives at which the Government of that day was dismayed. It requires all the , argument and all the skill of liberal politicians to restrain the temper of a people provoked by aggression, irritated by insult, and convinced of its previous error by the evidence of experiment. The Irish priests have done far more than Lord Winchilsea or Lord Eldon ever did to show that Popish constituencies are wholly unfit for the exercise of the eleotoral franchise. Thestrong tra ditional prepossessions of the English people are confirmed by unmistakable facts, and when they see some three score Members returned from Ireland as the avowed and notorious delegates of a mischievous priesthood, they are irresistibly led to conclude that such seats are more destructive to the imperial in terests than any rotten boroughs. The privileges conceded by emancipation have been hitherto pro tected by that sense of right which originally recom mended them, and by that dread of disturbance which all sober communities entertain; but, if the " right" of the question stands convicted by the issue, and dis turbance proves the fruit rather of concession than cuutrul, itii, policy b likely cutrugh to be exubauguit for another. • • LIFE -OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. Early In October will he published, Volume Third of MESS AGNES STRICKL IND'S LIVES of the QUEENS of SCOTLAND, and English Pr!ncesses connected with the Royal :;nccession. This volume of bliss Agnes Strickland's Royal Biographt so contains the commencement of a personal Life of Mary Stuart, which it is believed will be found more authentic and complete than any which has yet appeared. The collection and arrangenent of mi Ueda's for it was commenced many years ago—even before the publication of the Lives of the Queens of England. It comprises an amount of curious and important information hitherto inedited, the fruits of long, and arduous research_ in the State Farrar °films of , England, Scotland, France, and other nations, and in the charter-chests of the descendants of the noble families of Great Britain ancesl:n.dly con nected. with that momentous period. The result is a, Lt;'ography which is likely to he the crowning work of Miss Strickla ad.'s great national undertaking. Vols. I. and 11. contain the Lives of Margaret Tudor, ..rdagdalene of France, Mary of Lorraine, and Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox. LORD PANMURE AT ARBROATII. On Thersday • last the Town Council of Arbroath conferred the freedom of the burgh on the I3,ight Hon. Lord Pantiaure. The ceremony was performed in the Trades-hall, which was crowded, 'there being above 1 . .,000 persons present. Provost JOHNSTON, in presenting Lord Panmure with the .burgess-ticket, stated that it was conferred in testimony of their esteem for his character as a noblemen and his liberal and enlightened conduct as a statesman. • _ Lord..PANmuneein rising to return thanks, was re ceived with great applause. After thanking the bur gesses for the honour they had done him, and ex pressing his wish t o f o ll ow i n th e footsteps f his late father in his patronnge of the public institutions of Arbroath, the Noble Lord then proceeded to notice public affairs thus :—While I have seen, and while you have seen, other countries shaken t o th e i r foun etsaions ,by bloody_ revolutiene e epanaliberties" the people entirely extinguished, and those of the press fettered and gagged, we have seen nothing of the kind in this great and happy country of our own. And why, gentlemen, is that so ? Simply be cause the people themselves have seen that with their growing intelligence, their increasing capacity to govern themselves and take part in the government of their country, the rulers and advisers of the Sovereign have been anxious to ad vance in progress, and confer privileges and advan tages wherever they could be possibly and safely administered. Whether I speak to those who are Conservative in politics or those who are for more rapid progress in all that concerns our political career, I may decidedly say that it would be for the benefit of all that the policy of this country should continue to be one of progress.—(Cheers.) It is in vain in this day to think of standing still. It is in vain, still more in vain, to think of going back on the road along which we have come. As well might we propose to lower all those long chimneys by which I am sur rounded, and turn out all the busy bees of industry that swarm beneath them, and return to the old sys tem of the hand-loom, as seek to retrograde in the course of policy we are now pursuing. As well might we think of putting down the railways and again setting up the old mail. conch, or of super seding the power of the pald!e and trusting to that of the old flagging sail. Such as change would not now be tolerated; and the question is, are we to stand still or go on ? Now, my notion, as one deeply interested in the possess] on and protection of property in this country, is, tat if I attempt t o stand still I raise u p b e hi n d the dam which I erect a flood of water that will soon swe ep me and my pro perty before it.—(Applause.) Bu.t if I give free and constitutional scope to the stream to flow on in the manner in which it may be well an d usefully directed, then I am sure that all I have at stake is safe, and I rest myself on this conviction andt this opinion, that the more the people gain by constiitutional and all free and liberal reforms, the less likely am I to lose any thing of the stake in the country -which it has pleased Providence to give mo.—(Cheer s.) Gentlemen, I may congratulate you i n thi s grea t to yen upon the good effects which another system of 'policy has had among you—l mean the liberal coin morcial policy which has been directed, first of all, to cheapen the food of the people, and, next, to enable t ;he working classes to obtain that in the cheapest marl:et which they were formerly compelled to seek in tin' dearest. lam quite convinced that that policy has le d to a vast increase of happiness, to a vast increase of comfort, and to avast extension of contentment in this our native country. I believe that it has made many a cottage fireside where penury and want used f o:rmerly to pinch to smile, not only with plenty, but, in. some instances, with the luxuries of life. I believe that it has made many of the populationlnorecontented •than tb i er,formerly were ; and of this I am perfectly 'certain, that it has given a triumph to justice and to right through out the country, which we never. had so long as we were compelled to repair to the dearest markets for the purchase of articles of food.- —(Hear.) In many respects this commercial policy h as to be carried out to its just and fair issue. And lam quite sure of this, that whoever may hold the i!eins of government —whether her Majesty's present Ministers, or those from whom this policy first sprang—no Government in this country can either retrea t on the steps that have been taken, or fail to folio' er out that system commonly called free trade.—(Cleeers.) lam ready to admit that in the great change which the policy of 1846 brought about there could not fail to be some who would suffer in the trausitio . a that took place ; and I have no hesitation in beariasg full testimony, and giving full credit, to the man . aer in which many of the tenant-farmers in the count ry , bore the change which took place in their circums lances by the remo val of import duties which the 'country longer tolerate. But whether it be to the increased energy of that class—or whether it be to better de vised means for the cultivation of the soil—this know, that, to all external appearance at least, agricul ture is ns much sought after by the people of this country as a means of earning their bread wl—outlhdisnio as ever, for at present there is no land in the market.— (Cheers.)There has been no land vacant throughout Scotland where the general remark has not been made, that if ft were taken, higher prices would he given than have been received for the last four o r five years. I Jun no advocate for the letting of land at rack-rent prices; but, after all, land is only a the mercantilecircumstances itodity, and we must jud g e of its c heapness esp n ess o r dear ness, - ness, of its demand or rejection, by of the times, and when we see an article in full de mand we must admit that the speculati sp on in th a t article is a fair one ; and, therefore, from the cir cumstances to which I have alluded —fr om the fact it is, I trust I of land being let so readily as may argue, and argue without einfairriess, that the „ season of difficulties for the farmer ~is passing away, a n d that he saes the way for the employment of hi s capital and receiving ample remuneration for it ; and of this we may be assured, that all who ar e interested in land feel that one common bond of union must unite this whole colitntrY. Agriculture must depend on commerce, a nd commerce an d menu factures must, to a great extent, depend on our agri culture ; and I trust the whole three will cordially go hand in hand. The farmers, merchants, and manu facturers will consider this — that their interests ar e onebo anuncdun other also. After complimenting the people of Arbroath on their goo d citizenship, up in faillith e one, to be and n d that injurious what to the Noble Lord said , in conclu s i on : Look at France. During the last. few y ears s h e h as is injuri ous to t h e undergone no fewer than three revolutions. First of all she threw off a King who lived under the old sys tem, the old rule of France, and placed another on the throne, with somewhat of a constitutional shadow of government. Not content with that, , not ma n y y ears afterwards she cast off that King and that shadow of constitutional government, and rushtsd into a state of the bloodiest anarchy, an d all in the sacred name of Liberty : and now she is pleased to yield herself up to the despotism of one person. her press is gagged, and every rag:of the flag of liberty is torn from the pole to which it once seemed nailed. That is a lesson for us. Liberty does not consist in licentiousness, nor freedom in revolution. I believe we live u n d er the best system of ,government that human means ever devised—where the Crown cannot trample on the rights of the people, and where I trust the people will not attempt to trample on the just privileges of the Crown ; for be assured that under the constitutional machinery of the country in which we have the hap piness to live, all the just claims, all the fair rights and proper demands of the people—though from this circumstance or that they may be checked—must ultimately be conceded, and with the rising intelli gence of the great mass of the people of this country, the political privileges enjoyed by a certain number of the inhabitants must soon and speedily be consider ably developed.—(Cheers.)

In another part o f this letter he, h owever, writes, 'lt is evident that p re p ara ti on s are b e i ng made, by the getting ready of b oa t s , f o r a move u p to Prome as soon as some mor e t roops cam e round. The Goung,' or head man of K emen di ne , has, under ord ers of the Commodore, collected already 80 large boats ; and the correspondent of the Calcutta Morning Chronicle states that a force consisting of the 18th Loyal Irish and the 40th Native Infantry is to leave Rangoon shortly for the purpose of retaking and garrisoning the city of Prome. Ocher accounts state that. General Goda in's views will he adopted in their integrity. According to the Bombay Times an army of 20,000 men, consisting of 6 Europeen and 12 Native. Infantry regiments, with a full complement of artillery, sappers end miners, and comprising three Bengal and three Madras brigades, under the command of two generals of division, and the whole under Genertil Godwin, will be assembled at Pegue in the month of . .iVovember. On the 4th of August the correspondent of the Englishman writes—' The general expectation which had been so highly raised that an immediate advance on .Prome by troops in steamers would be made has been dashed to the ground, and every one is disap pointed and dissatisfied at the dilatory line of policy that seems to guide the movers of this expecicition. It is not considered safe to withdraw troops fecan Ran goon so long as a large body of the enemy are at Shway-gyn, where they are said to be in great force. The first thing to be done will ba to drive the Bur mese from that position ; at any rate, to kee Ee them in check, while a simultaneous advance is to• be made upwards from this. Shway-gyn is in tb a Sittang river, to the north-east of Pogue.' pretty well known htiresthat no advance from, this place on Prome can be made till instructions are received from the home authorities by the Governor-General to that effect. It seems odd that the Governor- G. eneral of India should not be invested with sufficient authority to enable him to carry on a war in an enemy's country as he thinks fit. Much precious time is now being lost.' In advocating de le T, a land advance, end the necessity of large reinf 'o cements, General Godwin seems to stand quite elm re at Ran goon. The current report that the Corn; nodore has declared that, if permitted, he would do all that is re quired with his blue jackets alone, is prof: iably with out foundation, but the Burmese military correspon dents of the Indian papers (some of th em officers on the staff of the expedition) all agrens, in repre senting the sense of the force to he unanimous in favour of an immediate advance to Promo with such troops as are at present available. There is net,' says one of them, one dissenting voice on the prevailing topic of conversatii en in Ran goon—that there is much valuable time b clog unne cesserily lost in not at once, indeed, in not having ere this, occupied Prome;' and, writing of stn antici pated reinforcement of five regiments only., another letter says, The more the merrier, but the work might be done with half the number, if the y would only set about it at once. Time, valuable time, is being lost; the waters of the Irrawaddy will soon begin to fall, andanunless we look sharp about it, Prome and every other inhabited place will be burnt. Notwithstanding the contradictory nature} of these reports, the impression is general that twee or three regiments will be immediately advanced to re-occupy Prome, and that the majority of the troops, in orders for Burmah will stand fast, the five or six regiments only that are nearest the points of embarkaUon being immediately pushed on to Rangoon. It is :surmised that as soon as the earlier of these arrive an eecpedition will be dispatched to disperse the Burmese force at Shway-gyn, and to occupy that post, and also Pegue, and that, leaving a small garrison at Rangoon, the re maining troops will he pushed on to Prome, and as much higher as possible by water before the river falls, " By the latest accounts Commodore Lambert, ac companied by Captain Rundall, of the Madras •En gineers, was immediately to proceed in the Phiege then towards Promo, on a reconnoisance, and it was expected the reoccupation of that place in force will immediately follow. It is not expected that more than 6,000 at most of 12,000 additional troops asked for by General Godwin, and in orders, will be actually embarked. All fears of troops being required to repel an invasion of Assam have been terminated by the spirited manner in which our frontier silly the Raja of Munipore has organized a force to bar the the passage of a Burmese army through his territo ries. It is presumed that his exertions will be ulti mately rewarded by a slice of Burmese territory. " Thera is no other public news of importance. Mr. H. W. Torrens, of the Bengal Civil Service, is dead. " The trade of the port has opened pretty briskly, and a considerable amount of business has been done during the month. Money is abundant. Emigra tion from Bombay to Australia is about to commence, and the ship Runnymede leaves on the 25th for Vic toria with a pretty large number of adventurers, among whom, are several Anglo-Indian familie,i."

It is understood the meaning of this is, that they may be permitted to deal in exchanges with England, &c., and we have little hesitation in saying that the Hun.

There are ineeiy objections to their being permitted to Jo a business in exchange; but what will weigh most with the East India Company in their refusal to allow it is the fec'.. that the charteri.d backs at the Presidencies ate the only ones who lend on Company's paper, and thereby keep up its respectabi lity and value.

The express with the Ist of July overland mail made its appearance on the night of the 16th inst. Tho com mercial intelligence which it conveyed shows that busi ness in general was proceeding less actively than before, doubtless owing to the agitation created by the elections. Consumption, however, continued favourable, and gene rally the stocks of colonial produce in the warehouses were less than they were at the same period in the pre vious year. Here the high rates of freight and the unsettled state of exchange have tended to curtail operations in country produce, although a fair business has been done in sugars, and as much in raw silk as the euppliel, which have been short, owing to the failure of th e J u l y b en d, wou ld ad mit of. Th transactions in rice, saltpetre, torahs, saf flower, and jute for the British market have been limited. Hides continue in active request; and oilseeds have been going forward in fair quantities. The smaller articles of export, generally, have been neglected. In our import market a better tone is apparent, ac compauied by en improved demand. Grey shirting ad vanced two annas per piece, but afterwards dropped one anna. White figured skirtings are in better inquiry at improved value. Low white cambries are rather more saleable at better prices. Low grey madapollams are also a shade better. The finer sorts of jacconets are neglected. but the coarser descriptions are in good in quiry. Mule twist maintains its value, and the deli veries continue satisfactory, while stocks are decreasing. A largo sale of British Turkey red dye is reported at the low value of 14i annas per lb. Copper is in active request, and sheathing has adrenced to 38r. per md. Iron and spelter are in good demand. Lead and tin plates are inactive. Exchange has been fluctuating between 2-0-a to 2-0 i for credits—sometimes tending up, and sometimes down. It is understood that the business done for this mail has not been large. At going to press there was very little doing, and it remained doubtful whether any change would occur, buyers and sellers seeming apparently indifferent with respect to the transaction of business. Bank of England post bills, payable at sight, were offer ing at 2-o,k to .2-01. Exchange with China is 222 r. to 224 r. per 100 dolls., with documents of opium, and with cotton and saltpetre documents 218 r. to 220 r. The money market continues well supplied, and loans are still procurable on easy terms. The share market remains firm. The directors of the India General River Steam Company have published their report for the six months of 1852, in which they state their intention of proposing, at the coming meeting, a dividend of 30r. per share. The shares of this f!ompany have advanced to 350 r. each, and are not easily procurable. Company's paper has slightly fallen in value, and New Fives now stand at 6 per cent. premium. Freights have kept pretty well up to our former quo tations. They now aro 41. 10s. to 41. 15s. sugar, and 4/ 5 , , saltpetre, to London. The general prospects of the indigo crop have not improved since the date of cur lest report. Jessore is closing with, if any difference, smaller expectations than those entertained 12 days ago. No improvement has taken place in the hopes of the Parneab, Bhaugulpore, Burdwan, and Bhaguretty planters—whose prospects are now unfortunately placed beyond the influence of the fines; weather. Male no, as we stated befcre, has closed fairly, and Dacca eae finished with nearly as much as she made lest year. The Tirhoot planters continue to write despondingly of their prospects; the returns from the first cuttings there are estimated at scarcely half of those of the preceding season, and it is apprehended that the second cuttings will not;prove productive. The whole of this district, it is supposed, will not yield more than 15,000 or 16,000 mds. against 30,000 last year; indeed, we have seen some estimates somewhat lower. We now turn with pleasure to the bright side of the picture. Kishnaghur is at full work, manufacturing under favour ' able atmospheric influences, and the yield from the vats is more than ordinarily abundant. Oar advises from the upper provinces are also of a cheerful tenour, and they are getting very good produce .there also. As we said on a former occasion, we have lost all faith in esti mates and distrust appearances; we aro, therefore, ex tremely reluctant to give any figured opinion as to final results, but we may venture to state that, taking into consideration the reduction which must undoubtedly be mado in the produce of Jesscre, Burdwan, Bhaugul pore, the Baugerutty factories, Parneah, and Tirboot as compared with last season, allowing 2,ooomds. or 3,oootads. more for the Agra Presidency, an equal t a r n ie d ts a , quantity as in 1851-52 f or M a ld a h and Kishnag h ur , less little it is evidentf ot thatD e e a Daccaand large last year's, fi gure o f 1 31 , 000mds.

The gas fittings are very elegan t, and the lanthorns on the platforms aro of very large dimensions, an d i n consequence of the immense w idth of each shed a line of gas posts has been erected in the centre of the rails. The arrangements for the laying on and management of tho gas are being carried out under the direction of the Superintendent of the Imperial Gas Company, and it is understood that at least from one hundred and fifty to two hundred gas lights will be required to light the station even for temporary purposes, but that ultimately double that number will be required. It is expected that the Government inspec tors will go over the line and inspect the laying of the rails in the new tunnel under the Regent's-canal in the co'irse of to-day or to-morrow. During the past week proposals for several small metropolitan lines have made their appearance. The Wim bledon and Croydon, with a capital of 45,5001., five and a half miles long, will pass through Merton, Morden, and Mitcham, and a working arrangement is to be entered i n t o with the South-Western and Brighton Railways, so as to secure a minimum dividend of 4 per cent. The Woodford, with a capital of 120,0001., will be under six miles in length, and will connect that place with the Blackwell line, passing through Snaresbrook, Wanstead, Walthamstow, Leyton stone, and Leyton. The Vauxhall and Sydenham, with a capital of 280,0001., is to be about five miles long, passing from the South-Western station at Vauxhall, through Stock well, Brixton, and Dulwich, to the Dartmouth Arms station on the Brighton Railway, , and the sh are h o ld ers are to enjoy a gurantee (secured by in vested capital) of 5 pe r cen t. until the opening of the .ine and for seven years thereafter, together with half of an ysurplus profits. Finally, th e West end of London and Crystal Palace Railway is to cost 386,000/., and to pass over a distance of rather more than six miles from Battersea Park-bridge, through Clapham, trelialftWs And IC9rTrOCI) t 9 the CrAtil FillaCe• Si' iv .

The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852. - No. 11. • , in cloth, price 3s. 6d., by post free, 4s.

We have now received our letters and papers by the Marseilles route, dated Bombay, September 1 : "`The Burrnah reioforcetnents were all on their ray to Madres and Calcutta for embarkation, and transports were being hired for their conveyance to Rangoon and Moulmein. "Emigration from Bombay to Australia was about to commence. Upwards of 150 soldiers are said to have applied for their discharge from her Majesty's 86th to proceed to tile diggings.' "A riot occurred in the city of Beneres on the evening of the 2d of August. The magistrate was pelted with stones and brickbats; as were also the General and several officers and other Europeans who had to cross the bridge. " A couple of companies of the 33d Native In - fantry and the detachment of the I Ith Irregular Cavalry were speedily on the spot. " The affair was a bloodless one. " The army which will be assembled in Pegu in the month of November will consist of more than 20,000 men—that is, six regiments of European foot, twelve regiments of native infantry, and a full corn• plement of artillery, as well as sappers and miners.

The following is the letter of a correspondent at Bombay, dated September 1 : "I mentioned in my last that the Commodore had dispatched a flotilla, consisting of rive light steamers, under the command of Captain Tarleton, to survey the Irrawaddy as far as Pr ome , an d t o ascerta i n t h e position and proceedings of the enemy. General Godwin appears to have been opposed to the proceed ing. Unfortunately,' says the Friend of India, 'that kind of misunderstanding between the military and naval commanders, which seem s i nsepara bl e f rom all our expeditions in which they are conjointly em ployed, appears to have broken out on the present occasion at Rangoon. The Commodore was there fore obliged to undertake this enterprise, not only without any co-operation, hut, if we are to judge from the letters sent round by various correspondents to various journals, amid much disapprobation.' It is stated that the Commodore had for some time urged the advantage of an immediate advance during the monsoon, and by water, and that he had guaranteed to land 2,000 men at Prome within five days ; but it is understood that General Godwin was desirous of an undivided triumph, and that he considered the advance should be made entirely by land, and declined the responsibility of moving forward at all until the dry weather had set in, and the force under his command had been trebled. The Governor-General's visit to Rangoon is supposed to have bad reference to those differences of opinion between the two commanders, and from the circumstance of a portion of the troops which, at General God win's requisition had been placed in orders for Burmah, having been c oun t ermanded since Lord Dalhousie'a return, and from the collection of boats and other preparations at Rangoon, it is surmised that the Governor-General has adopted the Commo dore's views rather than those of General Godwin. Captain Tarleton's flotilla advanced without opposi tion until, at Kenney Gewn, a small battery opened on them ; the steamers stopped and returned the compliment, but finding after half an hour's firing that they were unable to make any impression they proceeded on their course, having had Lieute nant Elliott and one private of Marines wounded. On the following day the steamers came in sight of A-kouk-toung, where the Burmese force for the defence of Promo was posted. The position was a very strong one, extending for two miles along a rocky criff rising abruptly 200 or 300 feet above the water on the right bank of the river. It was de fended by...31k heavy guns, which completely corn mended the channel, there 400 or 500 yards wide, The position was held by a force said to have been originally 40,000 men, under a son of the great Bun doola of the former war, but from desertion, caused by the scarcity of provisions incidental to our com mand of the river, the force by the time of the arrival of the steamers had become very much reduced—the highest estimates stating it at only 10,000 men, and the lowest at 2,000. " To have forced their way past this strong posi tion,' writes an officer who was present, the steamers would have found a difficult undertaking ; from its height our guns could not have been sufficiently ele vated, while, from the strength of the current, the vessels would have been, for a couple of hours, exposed to the fire of thirty-five pieces of ordnance. Fortunately, just as they were entering the pas sage, a native came off, and,roffered .to show a small creek (forming an eastern channel, made by a long island opposite the Burmese position), through which they could pass, which offer was gladly ac cepted, and the steamers entered the river again far to the north of, and well clear of A-kouls-toung. The following morning they were off Prome, and not an armed man to be seen. Information soon came off that all the troops had gone to A-kouk toung, never dreaming that we could give them the s li p a s had been done. Offers were readily made to show where the guns were. Accordingly, a party , was landed, who quietly and unmolested) y took pea ecssion of 23, cons i st i ng of 42, 32, 24, end 12- pounders. The 20 iron guns were destroyed and thrown into the river, and the three brass ones sent down to Rangoon. The following morning the whole commenced their return, and as they approached A-kook-toung considerable anxiety was felt to see if the enemy had moved over to line the creek, but no such attempt had been made.' On clearing the creek, Captain Tarleton surprised the rear of Bun doola's army, with a large number of war-boats and state barges, in the act of being transported to the left bank of the river, evidently with the intention of marching up to the protection of Prome. His troops were found in confused masses in boats, and along each side of the river, and the shot and shell from the steamers told fearfully on them, and spread dismay among the Burmese ranks; those in the boats jumped overboard, and every man hastened to flee. Between 40 and 50 boats containing warlike stores were captured, set on fire, and totally destroyed. In repassing the formidable-looking works of A-kouk toung Captain Tarleton observed that they had a de serted appearance, and that the guns seemed to have been cart led away; he therefore landed with a party to reconnoitre, and found that the troops had all marched away to defend Prome, but had not carried away the goes, which woro znoroly withartirvu (rout the embrasures, and laid down behind the parapet, so as not to be visible from the river. The guns, 2$ in number, were immediately taken possession of; and put on board the steamers; thus making a total of 56 guns taken at and near Prome, which it is remarked must be a pretty good drain on the Burmese Ordnance Department; seventeen war boats were also taken found moored to the bank, some containing gunpowder. Much powder and other military stores were also destroyed at Prome, the in habitants assisting voluntarily in their destruction, and also in removing the guns. Captain Tarleton was informed at Prome that there were no Burmese troops or other preparations for resistance between that place and Ave, and that, in fact, the Burmese did not expect the progress of the English to be more rapid than in the last war, an d h a d, th ere f ore , as yet, organized no means of resistance in the upper country. Prome is within five days' s t eam i ng of Ava, but Captain Tarleton had positive orders to advance no further than the former place. The inhabitants of Prome stated that the price of rice bad risen at Ava from lr. to Sr. a basket, in consequence of our com mand of the river. The natives continue to assist us by every means in their power. The enti re body of the people,' s ays the corre spon d ent of the Englishman, as one man, long for ou r rule ; indeed it is well known, that the Kariens had been in the habit for some time past of meeting in the jungles at night, at certain appointed times, and pray ing together that the British might come and wrest their country from the Burmese, their cruel masters, and impose on them their own mild and just govern ment.' The Governor-General left Calcutta on the 21st of July, and returned on the 6th of August. Numerous councils were held during his visit to Rangoon. Nothing authentic has oozed out as to what took place at these meetings' with reference to an immediate advance. As usual in such cases, there is no lack of reports on both sides of the question, some of them very circumstantial. The correspondent of the Englishman says It is pretty well known here that the Governor-General intimated to the General his wish that troops should be sent to retake and occupy Prome, as soon as arrangements would admit of it ; to this the latter replied, b e would not (From the Bombay Times.) SUMMARY. —The intelligence from Burma!, dis , patched . by th e p resent ma il from Bombay, though auspicious, is antiquated ; all of importance we have to tell will have reached home already, and we only now revert to the capture of Prome, in which we must have been anticipated by contemporaries, to keep the thread of our narrative unbroken through our files. The month of August has, in consequence of the monsoon, been without a single direct dispatch from Bombay. Our last Summary bore date 24th July, and gave tidings from Rangoon to the 22d of June. At the date referred to the Governor-General was on the eve of visiting Burmab. He left Calcutta on the 21st of July, and returned on the 6th of August; and General Godwin had sent in a requisition, now in process of being complied with, for an addition of 12,000 men to the force under his com mand. Promo was occupied on the 9th of July. Twenty-two guns, many of large calibre, were taken from the enemy by the steam flotilla i n th e Irrawaddy under the command of J. V. Tarleton, R.N. Flotilla attacked on the 7th by a strong force of the enemy at Konongee. Silenced enemy's fire in an hour, and the steamers proceeded. On the 10th fell in with the rear of General Bandola's army, and after an exchange of shots the enemy fled in great confusion, leaving the General's state barge, standard, two gold umbrellas, several large war canoes, and 20 prisoners in our possession. Casualties—Lieut. I. Elliott, Royal Marines; Mr. I. Morgan, assistant sur geon, her Majesty's steamer Fox, Mr. Hunter, 1.N., wounded severely ; Mr. Brayer, mate, 1.N., slightly. Twenty-eight guns were taken. The London jour nals still speak of the risks and delays attending or likely to attend our operations, while we see a little body of sailors sent out to survey the river, taking a town or so, and taking away with them a dozen or two of cannons, just as it were by way of Pi! 3 * . time, and to show the Burmese the irresis tibility of our flotilla a n d co ntemptibleness a Prome of their defences against stea m . P e gu and have thus both been tak en w ith o ut resistence by bodies of men too small to keep them, and whose oc cupation of outposts so remote &ruled LIU part of th e plan of the campaign ; and so far as it appears, C ap t. Tarleton might have presented himself before the palace gates of Ave, and sbown the sovereign the senselessness of resistance, in half the time he took in ascending f rom R ango on to P romo. A force, consist ing—according to the Calcutta Morning Chronicle's correspondent—of the 18th Royal Irish and the 40th Native Infantry, is to leave Rangoon shortly for the purpose of retaking and garrisoning the city of Prome. The troops continued as healthy as could be expected, though a consid era bl e num b er of -the Eu ropeans were laid up with dysentery. The 18th and w i ng of the 80th Foot had moved into the new bar racks prepared for them. After an interval of dry weather, heavy rain h a d f a ll en on t h e 31st July; the surrounding country was a perfect swamp. There had been a grand display on the landing of the Governor- General on the m orn i ng o f the '2Bth July. During his Lordship' s s t ay at R angoon several consu lt a tions had been held, the last having tak en pl ace with the heads of departments on the 31st, ju s t beforeproceed ing on b oar d th e F ox to hold counc i l with Comi c modore Lambert ; but no thi ng h a d oo zed . out as o what took place at these m ee ti ngs . The dispatch of the troops, above referred to, is believed to have re suited from one of them. It is said that no advan ce is to be made fr o m Pr o m e till the reinforcem ents from Madras and Calcutta have reached Rangoon. The markets were well supplied with provisions of 011 kinds at moderate rates, and everything continued quiet at Rangoon and in the surrounding country. Several attempts had been made tosurprise Martab an ; the Burmese fled on the discharge of the fir s t roun d of Artillery with which they were greeted. Com modore Lambert, accompanied by C apta i n Randall, of the Madras Engineers, were shortly to proceed in the Phlegethon towards Prome, the greater portion of which town was reported to have been destroyed by fire by the Burmese. A like fate had befallen the large town of Donabew. Th e enemy h ad taken up a position on the hill commanding the former city, but were reported to have only t wo guns t o d e f en d i t. B y the Ist October it was e x p ec t e d th e town would b e garrisoned by 6,000 British soldiers : the people were anxiously looki ng out for us to advance and take possession of their country.
