The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences rrsill'ing from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaus, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most c , lebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.

In short, every peculiarity reiating to the treatinmt of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate curo 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 r forty-twoe -st et, l guar antee that those who may p lace themselves under his care will, in every instance , meet with that delicate considera tion and inviolable secrecy which are so re q uisite in the treatmen t of these -Sta b ri y e, post Tich fo bo r n e cases.

GREAT WESTERN. The thirty-fourth belf-yearly meeting of the pro prietors of the Great West: ra Railway was held yester day (Thursday), at the Bristol terminus, in Templemeads, Bristol. The attendance of sharethelders, though much smaller than at the Paddington meetings, was r piece of m ee ti ng numerous as utile', notwithstanding the distance of the from the metropo li s , an d the un favourable state of th e weat h er. At one o'cl oc k, M r . C. Russell, the chairman of the board of dire c t ors , teek the ch a i r , an d t h e pre liminaries disposed of, p rocee d e d to address the proprietors as fol lows:—The accounts w hi ch have been in your baudefor come days exhibit, I htme, a satiefactory view of our finencial ph,ition and prospect% You will observe that our traffic continues reeedily to increase. Although in the last year the EXhibittot: was open - during not rieth°h' of May and June, our receipts for the first half of the present year c gull, indeed they rather exceed, these in the first hilt of the last year. Our receipts since the 30th of June also, d ur i ng the present half year, have bean vary satisfactory. It is not to be expected that our receipts shouli this year be as large as they were at this time last year, when the Exhibition was at its greatest height, and receiving the largest number of visitors. But, on competing our present receipte eith those of the preceding year, we find that the first six weeks that have new passed exceed the corresponding six weeks of 1850 by upwards of 1,400/, which gives to us an average weekly increase between those two periods of 2 4001. a week. The increase of the last week alone, as compared with the corresponding week of 1850, no less than 3,800/. —(Hear, hear.) In oer expenditure there hes been some increase also, chic-fly in matters of repairs of en gines and carriages, and in maintenance of way, occa sioned, as may have been expected, by the unusual strain which was thrown last year upon th em. The d i v id en d which we recommend to you o n t h e present occasion i s at the rate of 4 per cent.. We thi n k t hi s i s as l arge a diVidend as we should he justified in recommending to you on the present occasion. You fill remember, I am sure, that. at,...lir Aet- 0 e.eloctir -4tur, ~ 4 eatiltill..we have el wayi iiii Pie d Wan 3 ,, - ' ~- n - iti, t wiiity ., I.4tit, to meet the dereande of 1852 and 1853, whit your new linos to the north would for the fi, st be peel eed bat scarcely yet brought into do full action, an e shit those years, there.ore, would he years of trial and of pressure. It is very true that we have not yet opened those lines; but you will observe that wo have charged the whole of the interest upon the Four -and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, which either has been applied or is appli cable to those lines, to our revenue account, and the amount of that charge being about 32,5001, it very nearly balances the draft which we have been obliged to melee on our reserve fund. Now, considering that large sums have thus been applied to lines from which we have not yet derived the advantewee which may be anticipated, I t hi n k t h at I am j u , t itiod'ia stating that our accounts for the present half year afford grounds to represent our prospects to he far from nesetiefaetory.— (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I do not think the , it wil be necessary for rue to trouble you further upon any mat ters of detail connected with the accounts. They are noticed at some length iu the report, and I shall bee x tremely happy to afford any proprietor any further explanation which he may wish to have given. I trust, too, that I shall not be obliged to dk thin you l ong on th e subject of our relations with other companies, though some of them are so important that it will be impossible that I should pass over them altogether iu silence.— (Hear.) I will first direct your attention to our western districts, in which the Bristol proprietors have naturally a peculiar interest. In our report of the month of Fe ere ry we stated to you that we hid made an arrange mint with some gentlemen tat Weymouth and in the neighbouring districts for the completion of your Use from Froune to Weymouth. Those gentlemen formed themselves into a company, and have, during the last session of Parliament, obtained an act of incorporation. Lately, however, it appears that there is some doubt whether they will be able to raise as much capital es they require for this purpose. There can be no doubt, however, that that line ought and must be finished. You have already expended a considerable sum of money upon it. The amount which remains to be expended ie proportionately small, and that line will, we are setts tied, be meet important to you, both for the sake of secu rity and profit. Your directors have had this suttject under their serious consideration, and they have been in commuuicetion also with the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Company with respect to a line extending trop e your owe lino neer Dorchester to the line of the Bristol and Exeter Company, near Exeter. W e a lw a y s toresaw that such a line would be necessary to the in terests of both companies, and with us it has been merely a question of time when that line should be made. On the one hand we leave been extremely desirous to avoid all expenditure upon new works which could possibly be avoided; but, on the other hand, the projects of rival companies, renewed as they are this year, as we see by the report of the South-Western Company only this day published; the Bills which were brought into Parini meat last year, and failed through form; the demands for local accommodation throughout the whole of those districts; the opinion of military men of the highest au thority in the country that such a line muss be made for the purpose of national defence, a n d that the weight of Government will be cast into the scale of that company which will first be prepared to make it—all these cir cumstances warn us to be on the alert, and we trust, therefore, that you will give to as powers to concert with the Bristol and Exeter Company such schemes as we may think most expedient and most judicious to h which protect our own traffic, and to p revent that traffie has totherto passed over th e Bristol aad E xe ter line, and through this town of B r i sto l to our line, f ro m being diverted to other quarters an d falling into ot h er hands. With respect to our Shrewsburyry a lli ance , we are in no degree disheartened by the events of the last session. I I we have not obtained all that we expected, and all that we had a right to expect, some important results have been accomplished, and som e very valuable principles have been established. In the entire line from Oxford to the North there were two gaps which required to b e filled up —on e , an hits rv a l o f about three miles b etwe en Priestfi e ld an d W o l ver h ampton, and the ot h e r a short interval bet ween Wolverhampton and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line—and the means which were adopted by the Legisla ture to s u pp'y th ese li n k s bear the most loon testible proof of their opinion that this chain of railway communication must be Made unbroken, and that ~,,,I' pe must be cor o pl e t e d a t t h e earl i est practicable time.

The London and North-Western Company in their proposal to us suggest that the arrangements of ‘139111 companies, their awn and ours, with the Ohrewe placedrsoliciuhludrybepropr ing; that companies, e ie gh bury corn election between the wis ieto shouldproprietors the m sa a ni k e e their Shrewsbury two—ea very captivating proposal to either alternative would that the BO!, which in simultaneo 'I ' be necessary, should proceed ub Y with the B . illfor the amalgamation. Now let me ask what e North-Weefsrn ilgagements hav e the London and panies, andeinder wha Companyt with the Shrewsbury Com circumstances were ihey formed? The only engagement which h been the one which wa s ma d e by the London and as made public is North- Western Company with Shrewsbury and some shareholders of the Birmi ngham rcui n t Company in May, 1851. Now, what are the ei In the first place, it was utt erly S inconsistent an d iecetn azmes of th a t engagement ? petible with the arrangement a w i hich the Shrevvebury and ot tee p.,,,,,,i10g ~,,,... It t,. o with us in the J anuary nego dated by the constituted authorities arranged and of the company, b ut by a body of ehereholdere, who had ousted their directs - me from these functions, and on takeethemselves the offi ce of n9gotiativg. It was' passed ' at a m eeting, where the chairman of the company public; meeting, appeared ig and told the proprietors under the highest that the meeting was illeg el, and that be couldetle gat uthice not on that acconut take the chair, and it was attested riot by the com mon seel of the company, but by a e seal fabzicatsd th , an d withdrawn f r om so me pocket for occasion. In ~he papers of the day before yesterday I see some share holders of the Shr ewsbur y and Chester Company hv proposed au Ag reement lb the London and North- Wes tern Company that their properties should be amalga mated, and that in t he interim there should be traffic er man:Louts, givieg a guarantee of four-and a-half per cent. (rather inconsistent with the times), and we find , hat the secretary of the London and North-Western Company informed thPse proprietors that the engagement was aue,epted by, the London and. North-Western Com pany. Now, call any person for a moment contend that bese are legal engaeeinents? Is it reasonable for the say to London . and Nor th- Western Company to us, " These engagements of ours are honeurable engage ments, and are to- be , placed on the same footing with entnigagenseafes' *deli. : you- have;..pai,;"-,- . arrapod be tween the directara of the two companies; 'Opprovid,' where necessary, .by' the proprietors ; and, at we believe, completed under all the sancions and formalities 'of the law ? Is it not calculated rather to awaken suspicion that we should be asked to acquiesce Bimpliciter—simpliciter indeed!—in such a pro posal?—(Heer, hear.) Now, suppose that this negotia tion goes off—and that is the point of view in which I am presentit g it to you—supposing this negotiation fails, and we are obliged to contest the agreements with the London and North-Western Company in a court of equity, wou ld not the answer be, " Why, gentlemen, the Great Western Company cannot contest the validity of these agreements, for you have admitted as the basis of a negotiation with the London and North-Western Company that they are as valid as your own?" Sup pose, again, that the proprietors of the Shrewabury Companies, incited, as they have been incited, by offers on both sides, should advance their terms beyond the agreement by which they arc already bound; or suppose the London and North• Western Company should ootain preponderating interest in the Shrewsbury companies— not improbable events —and that under those circum stances you should be compelled to enforce your agree ment in a court of equity, what would be the answer? `• Why. gentlemen, you have waived that agreement— you have allowed i t to be superseded by an agreement, which you considered more to your interest, with the London and North-Western Company." Or suppose things remain as they are, and that you have to go to Parlia ment next year for sanction to your Shrewsbury alli ance, where is your Parliamentary case? How can you affirm the same grounds, that it is to have a separate lino from Oxford to Birmingham, when you yourselves have consented to an amalgamation wita the London and North-Western Compaq which completely de stroys the whole of that argument?—(Bear.) . Now, gentlemen, if one or any of those results, or of the ten thousand other results which may ensue in negotiating upon the basis proposed by the London and North- Western Company. should take place, what will become of your Shrewsbury alliance, which you have eccom plished at the expense of so much pains and persever ance, or how can you expect to form any arrangement by which the traffic from the north shall be brought over your Birmingham and Wolverhampton line, which you have constructed at the cost of so much money? Now, let me be not misunderstood. Let it not for a moment be supposed that I am repelling the overtures of the London and North-Western Company for peace. 'There is nothing we more earnestly desire, and we have evinced that desire by making a taunter-proposition, which we believe is perfectly equitable, perfectly re ciprocal, and much more practicable than the arrange ment of the London and North-Western Comps :y. I trust that in the letter which was written under the di rection of the board, or in any observations which I have made to-day, that I have not uttered one word calcu lated to irritate or offend anybody. I have merely stated to you the arguments and the facts as they ap peared to our minds. We are most sincerely desirous of peace—if peace can be on safe, accomplished• just, and Equitable terms.—(Hear, hear.) I trust that this ileg ation will proceed,l am induced to hope and believe " that it will be permitted to proceed, and I do assure you no unreasonable requirements on our part shall obstruct it.—(Hear, hear.) We will make it our one and only law, to do nothing, to say nothing, to ask nothing which may have s the effect of retarding or preventing an ami cable arrangeme n t between the two companies, but such as we deliberately into the obligations believe is imperatively required by which we had,previouslylestered, and which is essential ,t o maintain the credit and protect the interests of you,,athe proprietors of the Great Western Company.—(Cheers.) (Un.e ers.) The SECRETARY (Mr. C. A. Saunders) then read the following report:— The receipts for revenue account during the two corresponding periods of 185 L end 1852 have been so nearly the same in amount as to require very little ob servation from your directors. The excess of passenger traffic occasioned by the Exhibition of last year, during the months of May-and June, has been compensated for by an equal excess received from the ordinary mer cbandize traffic during the present year. The total ex penditure of the halt-year is 10,0001. more than is 1851, and consists of increased cost of repairs of carriages and waggons, of maintenance of way, and locomotive expen diture. The first item may be justly ascribed to the or dinary effecti of employing a greater number of car riages for the traffic during the Exhibition of 1851, which required subsequent repairs and renewal. The maintenance of way comprises that nf twenty-four miles of the Oxford and Rugby Railway, which has been now open fur more than a year, which expense during the former period, formed part of the contract for the construction of that line, but has since become a charge on the revenue. The increased expen • diture in the locomotive department embraces heavier repairs of engines, ate., arising from the same cause as that which occasioned additional carriage repairs, and is further to be accounted for by a considerable increase in the number of miles travelled with goods trains, not withstanding that the reduced cost of the coke during the half-year has diminished the expenses under that head. In the general revenue account it will be found that the ' new works and additions to lines opened' have increased to the extent of 3,5001, the rent of the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway has added to the charge 5.7151, and the sum paid for interest on loans, and fixed dividend for 4i per cent. stock, has exceeded that of the corresponding period by 15,2001. These several differences account in the aggregate for the dimi nution of the outstanding balance. After paying a divi dend of 4 per cent. per annum on the rateable stock, which the directors recommend, a balance will remain of 72,7791. 4s. I Id. to be carried for ward to the next half-year, in comparison with the sum of 49,9401 9s. 3d. which was left at the corresponding date in 1851. The company have been subjected to considerable disadvantage in the interest account from the amount of unemployed capital during the last half-year, for a portion of which they have only been able to obtain an insignificant rate of interest; while at the same time they have been carrying to the credit of capital, as will be seen by the accounts, upwards of 5,7001 received for dividends upon the South Wales and South Devon Railway Shares in reduction of the interest previously charged in those respective in vestments. Parliament has now sanctioned the purchase of the Kennet and Avon Canal, and the formal transfer of It has been completed in conformity with the provi sionsOf July , 1851 , when it was agr e e d to p urchase it, have defrayed of the al AI t ts e . x p T e n h s e es receipt s besbesides e sif s the psy canal inz th the sincesti stipulated la t l e s d t l dividend of 6 3 , per share for the year, and there is every reason to.bope that the arrangements f or extendin g the usefulness of that undertaking, when worked in unis on with the railway, will prove to all parties interested the advantages as well as the prudenee of that arrangement. In like Manner the agreements for w o rki ng the Here toaa,vay, rd, Ross, have and be Gloucester also confirmed, ucesterßalway andan d the Wycombe Railway, authority h as been given for the appointment of a joint committee with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Company, for the management of through traffic p ass i ng to and from their railway.

The agreement with a newly-formed company for finishing the railway between Frorne and Weymouth, and working it in connexion with the broad gauge trains, was ratified by Parliament, but a clause was introduced into the Act, by consent of both parties, rendering that ag reement void, unless the f u ll amount o f c apital shale have been obtained by the new company within tvbereet months from the Royal assent to their Bill.

The district of the West of England, beetteeen the Wilts, Semerset, and.

They are in friendly communication with the directors of the Bristol end Exeter R lawny Company on the subject, and it hat been proposed that the two com panies should unite is encouraging the formation of a line from Maiden Newton, between Yeovil and Dorches ter, to pass near Bridtert, by Axminster, Honiton, and Ottery St. Mary, to a.point on the Brist o l an d E xeter Railway. near Exeter, with sued Lee' branches as may be deemed revisite.

The directors havo to recommend for your adoption, at the special mewing convened this day, a resolution zhich shall duly autho rise them to reduce and vary the terms and conditions upon which they may issue so much of the 3,500,0001. of the fixed 4i per cent. stock as has not yet been taken. The board, finding in the month of April last that the fixed 41 per cent, stock had been applied for and allotted more freely than they could employ the money for the purposes to which it was applicable, closed the register, and declined all applications for a further issue of it. The sum previously token arnounted to 1,857,650/, Considering, however, that the payment for the Birmieg ham and Oxford, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley shame will havo to be made early in next year, the directors felt it incumbent to accept some conditional contracts for the stock payable in January next at a. re duced rate of interest of 4 per cent. per annum, subject to the same conditions of right on the part of the holders to convert it into ratable stock before the 25th April, 1857, and on the part of the company to redeem it at par during the following seven years, upon giv ing one year's previous notice of such redemption. The sum so agreed for is about 575.0001. As soon as the ordinary stock of the company became saleable in the market above par, it was the opinion of the board that they would no longer be justified in consenting to issue at par a preference stock bearing the same fixed divi dend, with any right of converting it into ratable stock during a long period of time; and having amply pro vided for all present and probable financial requirements for some months, the directors have discontinued, for the present, any issue of preferential stock beyond the speci• fled amounts. Under such circumstances, thty think it will be most conducive to the interests of the company to empower the directors to reduce the interest and vary any or all of the conditions of the unissued stock, as they may from time to time determine. The Birming ham and Oxford Railway will be completed in Sep tember, and opened for traria with the least possible delay, after inspection by the Government officer em powered to report upon the safety of the line for public traffic. The Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway Company are proceeding rapidly with the construction of their works, and every effort is making by the Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway Com pany to complete their undertaking in the course of next summer. The accounts of capital and revenue, which have been duly audited and circulated among the proprietors, will be appended to this report. It will be necessary to provide for the audit of the South Wales traffic accounts, by the special appointment of one of your auditors, au,norised to a udit , them conjointly with one of the South Wales auditors. The CHAIR/lAN then moved that the report be re ceived and adopted. and circula ted among the proprietors. In reply to the Rev. Mr. NICHOLSON, The CHAIRMAN said he bad every reason to expect that the Oxford and Birmingham line would be opened in the month of September, though he would not pledge himself that it would be opened o n the Ist butof s The line to R a dstock was in progress,he P en n not er. know when it would be ready for o pening; and w M a c s .

Mr. Nicaoesorn as a holder of Great Western stock to the extent of 20, 0001 . , and not having a pound_ in the North-Western, claim ed the attention of the meeting whilst he criticised at length the speech of the a o , ore pugnamous chairman, characteritiug it as a speech than he had ever before. h if be thought the directors iticlineed, and threatening , r d to prefer their posi tion and patronage to the in terests of the company, to move on some future occasion that the number of shares held, as well es the names of the directors, be _printed with the reports. The tenor of the rev. gentleman's remarks was generally favourable to the North-Western Company. Mr. BERNARD took a different view, and thought it impossible to treat with the North-Western Company whilst they required the recognition of the second pur chase of property already bought byhe Great Western Company. The CHAIRMAN said he was extremely concerned that the reverend gentleman should have thought his speech was conceived in a spirit of antagonism to the London and North-Western Company. Lie had been charged with being pugnacious in his remarks; but, upon a re trospect in his own mind of every word he had uttered, he did not think those remarks were open to such an in terpretation.—(Loud cries of "No, no.") The proprie tors would be pleased to remember that about three years ago an arrangement w as p ro p ose d , not of these two companies, but of three c om p an ies , and the Gr ea t Western was a party to that proposition. Upon that oc casion he had the honour to represent the interests of this company; and he put it to gentlemen who sat round him, and who were aware of all the circumstances, whether the Great Western had not earnestly desired that th a t The a mal g amation should take place? South-Western afterwards rejected it. Ultimately the South-Western and North-Western rejected it, and the Great ta W ee e e st m er e n re a l adhered to it.

He did not concur with the honourable and reverend proprietor in despairing of obtaining Parliamentary sanction to those agreements which had been legally entered into, and h e assured him and all the proprietors that not only him self, but every gentleman at the board, was most anxious to carry out an arrangement which would establish amicable arrangements with the London and North- Western Company, with this sole reservati on, that it should be consistent with obligations and honour and good faith with other parties.—(Applause.) Major COURT suggested that the directors tinue the negotiation, and submit its further progress to an adjourned meeting. The CHAIRMAN Said it would be much better to have a special meetiog.

The directors would take es.sae• cial csre not to commit themselves to any steps itivolv... lag the interests of the proprietors, without giving them ample time to express their opinions..—(Dear, bear.) Major COURT asked what would be the probable ex- , pease of the railway from Dorchester to Exeter, to which allusion is made in the report? 'The CHAIRMAN said it was not in his power to give _details, but he believed the gross exp , nse would be 75,0001, part of which would be contributed by parties locally interested, and - part by the Bristol and Exeter Company. The proprietors might rest assured they Would not be committed to any thing without consul tation. Mr. GREEN, reverting to the North-Western amal gamation, suggested that five of the largest proprietors in each company should be appointed to co-operate with the directors in conducting the nego:iation. The CHAIRMAN expressed a strong opinion . upon the utter inutility of such a course. Mr. VOUSLEY said it was not always those that had the most money who had the most wisdom.

The Amalgamation Bill (as settled by counsel, mutually agreed on) to be introduced into Parliament next session; and in anticipation thereof, to be forth with submitted to meetings of the two companies, u n d er the Wharncliffe order of the House of Lords; and such arrangements to he made between the two boards, with a view to the obtaining of the Bill, and with a view to the convenience of the public and the conduct of the traffic in the meantime, as a joint committee, to be at once appointed by the two boards, may think fit; any difference of opinion in such committee (the numbers being equal) bt ing settled by arbitration. 2. All the exiting Red preference fixed charges of the two companies to ba adopted by the amalgamated com pany; and tfinir ordinary stocks to be consolidated in such proportions, not exceeding the rates of 100/. for London and North-Western to 801. for Great Western, and not less than 100/. for London and North-Western to 751. for Great Western, as may be agreed on, or as may be settled by arbitration. 3. Such terms and conditions to be *unreservedly sub mitted to by the amalgamated company, for the secu rity or convenience of the public, as Parliament may, when the amalgamation Bill is before them, prescribe. 4. With regard to third parties, with whom either of the two companies alone as now subsisting, but incom plete, legal or honourable engagements, those engage ments to be adopted simpliciter by the amalgamated com pany, and be submitted for Parliamentary sanction si multaneously with the Amalgamation Bill; and where (as in the case of the Shrewsbury lines) both the com panies have such engagements, it be lett to the respec tive third parties to oose which cf the two engage ments (when they differ) shall be adopted by the amal mated company, and that alone, which is so chosen, to be adopted accordingly, and to be submitted to Parlia ment as above. 5. With the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company a satisfactory agreement to be made by the amalgamated company for the proper development of the traffic of the district, in accordance with the interests of all parties concerned. 6. The Midland Company to be invited to concur in this arrangement generally, in manner and on terms to be settled with them. 7. That (as in the case of the amalgamation of the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction Com panies) the amalgamated undertaking be managed for the first three or five years in departments by the two existing bodies of directors as local committees, under the supervision of a general board, composed of equal numbers selected from those bodies, the management, after the limited period ju s t re f erre d to, such general board in the ordinary way. 8.

I may add that we still enter tain a of which we have already given to that some pl an s h ou l d b e dev i sed, even yon very manysincere pro w o i f s s b ,' now at this eleventh hour, for working out, on fair " Li d _ equitable conditions, an am i cable arrangement, mow.. of being made subservient to both purposes, viz., the be nefit of those who have invested their capital in our I'e ' opective comp an i es, and the general advantage an d venience of th e pu b lic and trade of the coun t , fo r which those undertakings were sanctioned by P arks" meat. Unquestionably at one period, some years ago, when it seemed possible to have saved the expenditure of se veral millions of capital, it was the opinion of this board that a unio n o f t wo or ove n three large co m p anies, w ith tho prospect of conflicting interest s, mi g ht then have been accomplished by Act of Parliament, in order to avoid the waste of capital in times of national pecuniary embarrassment, and to secure harmony of action bet ween the contending boards of m ana g ement. e il t e h7r m a P t an th ie esglsyent still be, it is time, after Da But, however desirable in some respects such mega. m oreation th a nof' larcigoeuabnt doubtful whether the whole expendit ure of capital has bee n f orced up on the companies and is just completed, and when it 1 about to be turned to account for public and commercial objects, the Legislature will sanction that principle, and especially after committees of both houses have received, ev id enc e of the instances of obstruction to traffic) over a iinineu3c,el the hie Leg w hich daring the last three or four years rbareivl d to interfere for the proSe- er .:ort -
