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 class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both is 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 le g a lly qualified ph ys i c i ans who have d evo t e d th e i r w h o l e and - di int yideid studies to this important branch of medical science.

It could not be denied that the line to Exeter would bring a considerable addition of traffic, passing as it did through ten towns, giving a direct communication with London, and connecting the important towns of Salis bury, Portsmouth, Southampton, and B righton with the west. (ILL ar.) Of course, as a large expenditure would have to be incurred by the South-Western Company, it ~as not unreasonable to take in a partner on moderate terms, who should assist in making the extension to Exeter. It was proposed, as he before said, that the in dependent portion of the capital should take the first share of the new revenue up to 4 per cent., which was the ordinary rate of interest. There was really no ground fur elarin at the risk attached to their part of the under. taking. Then as to the question of aggression. Did not the Great Western go round by Swindon to aeo.,m modate Cheltenham, Gloucester, arid the other towns in that locality, end had they not by so doing left the fifty mates across to the southern coast altogether un provided fur ? The South-Western, adopting the lilac principle, had marked their course to Basingstoke, their intention being to include Salisbury and that other portion of country which remained open to them. Be sides, Parliament had already conceded the district to the company, and all that remained to be done was to get it into their possession. Having given the subject some attention, he was convinced that the line would pay a clear 6 per cent., which it was proposed to add to the joint concern from Salisbury to Exeter. If he took the revenue at 1,0001. per mile a year, which was not an extravagant calculation, the result would bo that a clear 81. would be added to the exchequer 'of the company. On referring to the weekly returns of all the railways in the kingdom, he found that only five yielded less than 201, a week. The chairman concluded after some further observations in regard to tho defensive policy pursued by the board. Atter a slight interruption, The Cuantatata moved a resolution sanctioning the proposed scheme. Mr. Rain seconded the motion.'" :,,• The question was then put by the chairman, when a very small number of hands was exhibited in favour of the proposition of the directors, and at least four fifths of the meeting voted against it. Amid the cheering with which the result was hailed General Aitchison de manded a poll. Thanks having b2en voted to the Chairman, and also to the directors, on whose behalf Mr. Serjeaut GazAce retuned thanks, the meeting separated. The poll, which waa kept open for two hottrs after the termination of the meeting, will be resumed this (Wed nesday) morning at 10 o'clock, and will finally close et 4in the afternoon. The result of the polling will be declared on Saturday, at noon. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. TO THE EDITOR or THE sUN. SIR,—I was prevented by the outcries of several share holders at the special general meeting held to day at the London Tavern, from stating certain figures which I was called upon to do by the chairman, which figures were essential to an understanding of the point under the con sideration of the meeting. I therefore consider it my duty to the proprietors who pay me, and whom I have the honour to serve, to state what those figures were. The questions I was ordered to answer were two,- 1. Was there ever laid before the board a statistical computation of the traffic which the proposed central tine, if made, would subtract from the present Dorchester and Southampton line? 2. What is the annual amount of the traffic at the Salisbury and Dorchester stations which would bo placed in jeopardy by the plans of the Groat Western Railway Company now in active progress? The reply to the first question is,— That the traffic on the present line from Dorchester and Southampton, now taken at the Dorchester station, is 40,0001, per annum. That this will be reduced by half, and thus reduced to 20,0001. per annum, by the Great We s t ern Company' s ‘V ilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, about to be com pleted. _ Mr. MORTIMER said it would be remembered that a; the last meeting he mentioned that Mr. Locke had been to the Great Western Railway Company and offered the proposed line to them, and that they had refused it. Mr. Locke had since pronounced that statement to be untrue, but he believed Mr. Locke was now ready to admit that he had the authority for making his state ment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LOCKE said that was so. Mr. Mortimer had the authority of Mr. Saunders for making his statement, but Mr. Saunders was in error when he made the re presentation complained of. Mr. HEREPATH wished to know if it really was true that the Great Western Company had been in the field. Mr. LOCKE repeated that it was. The Bristol and Exeter Company, he was informed, were preparing their plans for it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MORTIMER then proceeded to address the meeting in opposition to the resolution, believing that in hurrying atter this shadow of a line, they were going in a fair way to lose the substance of their old line. (Hear, hear). The heart of the old lino was Southampton, and the line to Dorcester and Salisbury, were merely taken as tributaries, and if the prepared line were made it would benefit the branches, but not the main line. (Hear, hear.) Now a line of that nature was not worth the expense of making it; and he warned the shareholders that if they were wise they would con flue their attention to accommodating the overgrown traffic of Southampton. (Hoar, hear.) Make this line, and they would put the Great Western Company in a portion to get at the South Western Southampton traffic; but if they ought to extend their main line at all they ought to turn their attention to extending the Dorchester line to Exeter. (Hear, hear). That would bring traffic over the whole of their main line, but if they adopted the Salisbury and Exeter scheme, it would be tantamount to introducine a competing line to the South ampton line, as between Southampton and Basingstoke (Hear, bear) He complained of the letter which the Chairman had issued to the shareholders ; it was con trary to etiquette to issue such a letter. But, besides, the letter contained inaccuracies ; and he was afraid that as many proxies had been given on the strength of the letter. He was very much afraid the letter would do them a serious injury. (Hear, hear.) It led the share holder to believe that this proposed new line would yield 6 per cent.; but that calculation was based upon erro neous data. (Hear, hear.) As the arrangement now stood, the landowners would get 4 per cent., even if the line did not pay its working expenses, and he could not help feeling that the letter was a most fallacious docu ment. It was the custom of the Board of Directors not to record the protests of the minority on the board in the journals of the Company, and as he was in a mino rity in this question at the Board he had no other alter native but to protest against it now. (Hoar, hear.) He complained of the conduct of oertaia of the directors, in lending their names to new,themes, and, called upon the shareholders to discruntenatee the practice, because it brought them into unfriendly contact both with the Great Western, and the London and North Western Companies, who had already remonstrated against it. (Hear, hear). Mr. REID, a director, contended that it was a false policy for this company to stand still or withhold its support from a scheme which, if carried out, would act as feeding branches to their main line. Mr. CASTLEMAIN wished to know from the Secretary deny table had been prepared showing what would be the effect of these new lines upon the Dorchester Line. The SECRETARY replied in the affirmative. Mr. CASTLEMAIE asked what was the result of that calculation. The SECRETARY said the present traffic from Dorches ter yielded 40,000/. a-year. When the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Line should be opened, it would abstract 20.000/. of that; while, if this proposed Central Line was carried out, it would have the effect of drawing back 10,000/. of that 20,0001. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CASTLEMAINE spoke at some length in support of the extension from Dorchester to Exeter. He referred to the various agreements entered into since 1844 be tween the South-Western and other companies, and ob served that he thought some amicable arrangement might be made between the South-Western and Great- Western Companies, to the advantage of both. He be lieved, from information given to him by officers of this company, that before long they would have to expend some 200,0001, upon the station at Southampton, and an expenditure of at least 250,0001. would be necessary to render the Waterloo station suitable for their traffic. If, then, they had to go into the market to raise 1,000,000/., instead of 500,0001., upon what terms were they likely to obtain such an amount? Mr. Castlemaine concluded by proposing, as an amendment, a resolution declaring the opinion of the meeting that the proposition of the directors ought not to be carried out, but that measures should be taken to complete the coast lino from Dor chester to Exeter. This amendment was, however, sub sequently withdrawn Mr. WOOD believed the proposed line from Salisbury to Exeter would not pay its expenses. The Brighton line, with all its advantages, only paid 4i per cent., and was it likely that this projected new lino would yield 6 per cent.? (Hear, hear.) He did not believe it would return more than 2 per cent. Mr. Wood then proceeded to advocate the extension of the line from Dorchester to Exeter, and stated that the as so little traffic on the ,i ssa proposed line between Salisbu nd Exeter, that he did not think it eossible any railw y in that district could prove remunerative. After a desultory discussion, in which Mr. SNELL, Captain Moonsose, Mr. HERAPATII, and Mr. EAGLES• FIELD took part, General AITCHISON observed, that he thought they were consuming time very unnecessarily, and suggested that the meeting should at once proceed to a vote. (This recommendation was received with much applause.) Mr. HELPS said, that no new scheme could be forced down the throats of the shareholders unless it was ap proved by three-fourths of the persons who voted— (" Hear,' and cheers) —and he wished to asked what number of proxies had been received for and against the proposition of the directors? The SECRETARY replied that the number of proxies received was—in favour of the line from Salisbury to Exeter, 11,237 votes; against it, 10,563 votes. (Loud and continued cheers, and slight hissing.) The majority of votes in favour of carrying the line from Salisbury to Exeter, was therefore 674. (Renewed cheers.) Tho number of voters was—for the line from Salisbury to Exeter, 784; against it, 725; majority for the Salisbury and Exeter line, 59. (Cheers.) A PROPRIETOR (to the Chairman).—Well, after that statement, how can you expect the bill to be carried? (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. LOCKE then rose .. the body of the room to address the meeting 'tit was met by a storm el' groans and shouts of " Divide," which completely drowned his voice. After endeavouring, unsuccessfully, for some minutes, to make himself heard. the chairman interposed, and, with great difficulty, restored something like order. Mr. Locke having propitiated the clamourers for a division by stating that he would not trespass on their attention for more than two or three minutes, proceeded to say, that some eighteen months ago, he, in connexion with a body of landowners, had applied to the Souths Western Company to undertake the con struction of a railway between Salisbury and Exeter, offering such securities as be would answer to say had never been tendered before in any part of England. They had offered to sell their land at agricultural prices —even at less than agricultural prices (laughter, land, cr e i d es of of se ' e . k O i h n , g o .t h o ! r " o ) b ; some a had offered to give their and others to take shares in the undertaking.

That the proposed central line from Salisbury to Exeter by whomever 'it is constructed, will probably re duce the remaining Dorchester station traffic by one-half. So that the Wilts and Somerset line having reduced the present traffic of this company at Dorcester from 40,0001. to 20,0001,, the central line would reduce this 20,0001. to 10,0001. per annum ; the whole reduction at Dorcester, would probably be thus from 40,0004 to 10,0001, per annum, or a loss of 30,0001. per annum. This is the reply to the first question. The reply to the second question is,— That the traffic in and out of the Salisbury and Dor cester stations together, for the 12 months ending the 30th of June, 1852, was 80,9551. Of this amount that portion which was from traffic to and from London is 53,4291. Of this 40,0004 would probably be subtracted by the Great Western Railway Company's line entitled the Wilts and Somerset line, now in operation, if this company remain passive.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE. —lt IS now certain that Louis Napoleon will be very shortly Emperor of the French.. What course ought England to tak e on the completion of that event? It must be admitted that sho is in a posit i on of no ordinary difficulty. We are bound to treat wi us th Rsia, Austria, and Prussia, not to allow any one of the family of Bonaparte to be the supreme ruler of ra 3 nce.. Nevertheless, we have recognised Louis Napoleon as 1 resident of the Re public. A President of a Republic can hardly be considered as " supreme ruler " of a . state. Not so the Emperor Or Sovereign of a people. It is earnestly to be hoped, that our present Foreign Secretary may be able to prevail upon our allies to waive the obligations of the treaty ; nor, after the declaration of the PreiTolent, that " L'Empire c'est paix," would it probably b 9 difficult to obtain from him such an authoritative recognition of the validity of the treaties of Vienna, a s would go far to persuade those ant i cs to put aside, for the present, the enforcement of this peculiar obligation. —ltterning Time. r a ig 0 B V2 - 11% - - Direct Trains from the Boats marked t r•.nni buses from Fenchurch-stroet Station to all parts of Lor,don '.;ry quarter of an hour. —"uNSWICK WHAKF, BLACKWALL, on the arrival of the following Trains from the Fenchurch•street Station. `------__ WEEK.

A special general meeting of the proprietors of the London and South-Western Railway was held yesterday at the London Tavern; Mr. Chaplin, M.P., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read by Mr. Windhsru Harding, the Secretary, The CHAIRMAN said he must confess that, in cense gnaw of certain remarks made by the press, as well as by individual shareholders, he felt in a somewhat awk ward position, because it was the duty of the chairman to observe a strict impartiality in presiding over such an assemblage, but he could not belong to that section of the directors who determined to lay the proposed project be!ore the meeting, without having courage sufficient to advocate its propriety ; and he was, moreover, anxious to make a few brief observations in order that he might not he accused of advoc sting a measure of which he did not himself approve. (Hear.) They now met for the third time, with the view of obtaining a clear and distinct ex pression of the opinion entertained by the great body of shareholders on this important question, viz., whether they should endeavour to secure that important district of the West of England between Salisbury and Dorches• ter, or passively relinquish it, and hazard its loss to them for all time to come. (Hear.) The meeting had been called in the centre of the city of London, expressly for the purpose of facilitating the attendance of shareholders, for they wouhi be surprised when he told them that, at the last meeting on the 24th of September, there were only 278 shareholders represented, including those per sonally present and those who appeared by proxy, out of a body of nearly 40,000 proprietors. That, he thought, would be a sufficient justification for the directors fixing the meeting at that place, in order to gather a more full and powerful expression of opinion. Most of the share holders were probably aware of tho remarks contained in a circular which he had taken the liberty of address ing to them. It was with great reluctance he intruded himself upon their notice in such a manner ; but when he saw that a great misconception existed as to the nature of the guarantee or preference dividend, he felt very anxious to remove all doubt on the subject. But there was another reason why he was so desirous to address the meeting. Ho had seen an advertisement inviting the shareholders to a meeting at Morley's Hotel, with the object of opposing the contemplated project, and be could well understand that an effort had been made to concentrate the opposition of those who differed from the directors. It would, however, astonish the share holders to learn that the secretary of that movement was not a proprietor at the time the meeting was held on the lath of October, but that ho subsequently got transferred to him five preference sharts, worth 401. of paid-up capital. He, therefore, had re t that interest in the fluctuating dividend which would justify him in taking such a position. (Hear.)

A SHAREHOLDER—The net revenue. The CHAIRMAN—Yes, the net revenue, after paying all working expenses. Much stress had been put on the statement that the proposed line had been concocted for the benefit of the landowners in the district, but ho hoped any impression of that kind would be removed, as it was inconsistent with the real facts. The land owners, who were not a numerous body, were willing to make a sacrifice of their land and to co-operate with the South-Western Company, in order to promote the een• struction of a line through a district which was left al together unaccommodated, and which, according to the plans proposed by other companies, was not likely to be accommodated. The railways projected by those companies were not direct lines to London, and left the district much in the same position as it occupied already; and it was, therefare, unfair to attribute ileProPor S UMMONS. 1.

A meeting of shareholders interested in the No. 1 six per cent. preference stock of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern. The circumstances under which the meeting was called are explained in the following minute:— " At a meeting, held in the committee-room of the Stock Exchange, on Saturday, October 16, at which several members, interested for their clients and them selves to a large extent in the No. 1 preference stock, were unanimously whie h resolved,the these shares afte r fully were investigating or i g i na lly created under the 11 th and 12th Vic.,ca p . 25, fully present,confirmed at w ta s manner general meeting of the company, in recognize • d and protected in the 14th Vic., cap. 27, clause 16, that the position of the stock is perfectly legal, and that any attempt at repudiation should be strenu ously opposed; and that a meeting of the preference shareholders should be held at the London Tavern on Tuesday, the 26th instant. Captain Follet was called to the chair. The attend. ance was numerous. Mr. FARRAR, of Doctors'-commons, explained the legal bearings of the question. By the 11th and 12th Vic., c. 25, the North British Railway Company were authorized to raise additional capital by the creation of new shares. These shares were to bo of such an amount and to be allotted on such conditions as should be agreed upon at a meeting of the company duly called, and the shares so apportioned were to form part of the capital. At that period the existing stock was at a great discount —the 251. shares were selling at a discount of of 5/. 10s.— and the then directors, considering the depressed state of their own and of other railway property, hesitated to avail themselves of the powers contained in the Act. The company at that time had upwards of one million locked up in the works in progress, and which could only be made available by raising the capital authorized in ,the Act. By and by, v*ith the view of making these works avail2ble, the directors issued a report to the share holders and to the public, and amongst other things the) stated that it now rested with the shareholders to fix the amount of the new shares, and the terms upon which they should be issued. The amount proposed to be raised was 8 0 0,0001.-600,0001. by new shares, 200,0001, by loan ; and the directors suggested that the 600,0004 should be raised by shares of 51. each, to be issued to the existing shareholders, and that a guaranteed divi dend of 6 per cent. for five years, and of 5 per cent. thereafter in perpetuity, should bo the terms—interest also being allowed on the calls. Dr. JAMES JoHNSTONE moved the first resolution, which stated that the meeting had no doubt of the legality of the No. 1 preference shares, and that they received with considerable regret and indignation the repudiation of the guarantee, us tending to undermine the confideece in railway stock, and to prejudice railway property in general. Mr. FREEMAN, of Bristol, seconded the resolution. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. DOUGLAS moved the second resolution, that legal or other proceedings be adopted to compel payment of the dividend now due, and to establish the claims of the pre ferance stockholders. The resolution was carried without dissent. The following gentlemen were then appointed a com mittee to carry out the wishes of the meeting:—Messrs. Johnstone, Porter, Armstrong, Hope, Inchhald, Douglas, and Scholefield. It was then resolved that Mr. Farrar and Mr. Somer• ville should bo the solicitors, and that the shareholders should subscribe, at the rate of 6d. per share, to defray ,he expenses. This terminated the proceedings. HEALTH of LONDON during Ma WEEK. The official report says:—ln the week that ended last Saturday 1,072 deaths were registered in London, being nearly the same as in the previous week. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the average number was 947, which, if correction is made for in crease of with the pres en t return , will become 1,042. The deaths population for tne purpose of comparing it of last week therefore do not much exceed the ordinary rate of mortality at this season of the year. The tables of the two last weeks show a close coincidence as regards the numbers who died in several periods of life ; the children who died in the two weeks were respectively 536 and 535 ; adults between 15 and 60 years were 355 and 348, and persons who had attained the age of 60 years and upwards were 188 and 189. Fever has be come more fatal in London, for the casea referred to the head of " typhus" rose from 54 in the preceding week to 62 in the last, and scarlatina from 73 to 92. T . he latter complaint has now reached a higher point than in any previous part of this year , and the amount of mortality is greater than in any corresponding week, except that of 1848, when the number was 182. Epi demic diseases in the aggregate are not, however, more than usually fatal, for only 5 deaths are assi gne d t o small -pox and o n ly 4to measles. Diarrhoea also con tinues to decline, but an increase is visible in hooping cough, which rose from 22 to 34, and in bronchitis, which has also increased in the last two weeks, from 76 to 92. Last week the births of 796 boys and 771 girls, in all 1567 children, were registered in London. The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845.51 was 1376. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean daily reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on the first four days of the week, and the mean reading of the week was 29'945 in. The mean temperature of the week was 49.9 deg., which is 2 deg. above the average. The mean daily temperature rose to 55 9 deg. on Friday, which is 8.6 deg. above the average. The wind blew fr om the north at the beginning of the week, it then changed to south-west, and except on Friday, when it was in the south east, blew in this direction during the rest of the week.
