Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful txmsequences 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 in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision ,)f Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egelly qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and altimate 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 inviolaifie secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases. ....,.fished by the Author, and may be . had of J.

A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select Committee on the Metropo lis Water Supply. The Government and the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter enl of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through the 'lease of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded with in the next Parliament. The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the New Act, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure means oiinvestment. The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr. Rostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on Water i-upply. EVery Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is aware of the high charge for the present inferior and insufficient supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy alone, they must command the preference of consumers; but when the purity of the water is considered , and that the supply will be constAnt and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su perseded. altF ough inordinate profits are not contemplated by th's Com pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the :gluey District, and the daly increase of buildings there, that the present undertaking Nt ill afford an Immediate, sound, and steady investment for capital, with every prospect that the maximum di vidend, now alioweA by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will be speedily attained; proposals having already been made by large consumers, to take several millions of gallons daily. After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act be obtained, in which it will be provided that no Call shall exceed 1/. per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three months. Applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers; or to the secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 28, Cornhill, where the plans and models of Mr. Thompson's SUBTEURANEOUS RESER veins may be seen, and detailed information obtained.

The following testimonial is another proof of tho great efficacy of this medicine : " Wincbmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851. • Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampto d n's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses g ave me great relief an dduring this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Ps. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in gene ral use by mill Y family,d an we know of nothing to equal it. "I am, Sir, yoars respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re straint of diet or confinement during their use.

THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines written at Kensall-green Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial over the remains of" Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ho known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be found wit, out the help of a grave-yard servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which Is alike praiseworthy in the living and due to the dead. At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has consented to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary Secretary. Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand ; at the offipe of Eliza Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook, 54, Great Ormoncle•street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins, 34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

In former times Houses of high pretensions paid but little at tention to styles of JUVENILE ATTIRE, and frequently their best fashions were an abbreviation of those intended for ADULTS. Such an unnatural s; stern has been abolished, and a plan entirely NEW has been pursued by E. MOBEg and SON. They employ the most talented ARTISTS and WORNm EN, expressly to devise NEW STYLES of DRESS for TOTING GENTLEMEN—their age, symmetry, and proportions being carefully observed. Hence it is that E. MOSES and SON'S JUVENILE CLOTHING is more stylish, appropriate, and satisfactory than any WI ich others have produced. The highest order of DRESS for the approaching vaca tion may be obtained at E. MOSES and SON'S for considerably less money than must be paid should application be made elsewhere. Ingenious and Novel introductions for WINTER DRESS are practical proofs of E.

The annual general meeting of the Association for Pro moting the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge, was held last night in the large room, Exeter-hall. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform, we observed Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. D. Seymour, M.P., Mr. Charles Knight, Mr. Cruikshank, Mr. Cassell, the Rev. Dr. Watts (of Manchester), &c. The room was extremely well filled. The chair was taken at seven o'clock by Mr. DOUGLAS JERROLD, who opened the proceedings by observing that the meeting was called for the pin-pose of petitioning the House of Commons for the total repeal of the taxes on know ledge—those most odious laws, because they were hostile to what is " wise, just, and beneficial" for the moral character of the masses of the people. (Cheers.) Mr. Charles Knight, phis "Progress of a,800k,” had shownhow it had to wrestle with the Government, and that the best and noblest of books might get tripped up by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ; and the Messrs. Chambers had proved that a work popularly addressed to the people, which broke out 30,000 strong, was nevertheless not strong enough to combat the taxes on paper. (Hear.) With respect to the stamp on newspapers, the railroads had sufficiently shown the injustice and absurdity of such a tax, and he would recommend the substitution of a penny postage stamp. (Hear.) The advertisement tax was a double tax—it was a tax on industry and a tax on want. (Hear.) Why should the widely-circulated advertising columns of a newspaper be taxed when omnibuses were allowed to circulate the same kind of intelligence duty free ? (Hear, hear.) Almost everything was an advertisement. The tradesman's brass doorplate was an advertisement; and it would be as just for the Chancellor of the Exchequer—bending his mind to the consideration of brass—(loud laughter and cheers) —to tax the brass doorplate of a tradesman as the type of the printer. (Cheers.) There would appear to be some justice in such a kind of impost. For instance,. the quack, having paid his eighteenpence duty for advertising his cosmetic, would not feel aggrieved, because he would know that the apothecary paid for his engraved plate and his night bell eighteenpence each. (Laughter.) So long as paper was the peculiar vehicle of conveying intelligence and informa tion to a people, so long would it be a reproach to the State that burdened it with a feather's weight of taxation. (Cheers.) He admitted that there was an inherent dispo sition in every Englisman to obey the laws ; but, neverthe less, one goosequill wisely and honestly exercised, would achieve more power than slumbered in the staves of a thousand policemen. (Cheers.) Paternoster-row and the newspaper press were stronger than the Horse Guards and Scotland-yard—(cheers)—and Lord Derby had been re cently surprised into a burst of admiration for that un bridled democracy which a few months ago it was his Heaven-appointed mission to control and crush. (Cheers.) It had recently been the fashion for certain members of the aristocracy to preside in lecture rooms and at mechanics' institutes ; and dukes and earls were very wise in this their generation to do so. (Cheers.) Not many years ago the people, as a people were called the " swinish multi tude ;" and to cast pearls before swine was an acknowledg ment of the proverb of the prodigality of folly. But now there was no " swinish multitude," and schoolmasters in coronets were now gracefully presenting their pearls to the people. (Loud cheers.) The people had a right to demand their advocacy at such meetings as the present, for as they descanted on such occasions on the political and social bles sings of knowledge, they must, logically speaking, be op ponents of the taxes on knowledge. (Cheers.) He consi dered the Government that continued the taxes on know ledge to be an unjust government, a tyrannical government, and most essentially a hypocritical government. (Cheers.) The Chairman concluded by stating that a letter had been received from Lord Godorich, apologising for his unavoid- able absence. A letter to the same effect from the Rev. T. Spencer was read by the secretary. Dr. WATTS moved the first resolution in a speech of con siderable length, in which he detailed with great minute ness the obstructions thrown in the way of the paper-maker by the Government regulations, and the unnecessary ex penses thereby incurred in the manufacture of_that article. The present duty, amounting to about 300 per cent., de served the name of a tax on knowledge. (Hear, hear.) It was a protective duty to ignorance—a protective duty to trash— (cheers)—and now that unrestricted competition was to be the rule of our commercial policy, surely we ought no longer to restrict knowledge or protect ignorance and trash. (Cheers.) He concluded by moving— " That the duties on paper and advertisements, and the penny stamp on newspapers, tend to injure literature, to obstruct education, and to hinder the progress of the people in intelligence and morality." Mr. CHARLES KNIGHT, who rose amidst loud cheers, seconded the resolution, contending that the repeal of the paper duties would tend to advance the interests of litera ture, education, and morality. Mr. COBDEN (who was received with several rounds of applause), in supporting the resolution, said that several complaints had been made against the Government for having imposed and maintained the taxes on knowledge, and the Government had been censured for not having repealed them. He was glad to find, from the crowded state of the room, that there existed in the public mind a feeling kin- I dredto what was passing in his own—namely, that it did not become Englishmen to talk of the Government doing them harm or good. They were their own Government, or at least had the power of making themelves so ; and he was, therefore, glad to judge, from the present demonstration, that they were determined to take the matter into their own hands, and then he would venture to say that the Govern ment would be found to be their obedient servants, as it had been in other matters. (Cheers.) When lie found himself engaged in a controversy of this kind, he always turned his attention to that phase of it which presented the greatest difficulty. In the present case there were three propositions to consider, the paper duty, the advertisement duty, and the stamp duty, all of which were most intole rable burdens on the diffusion of knowledge. Now, with respect to the paper duty, which produced the largest amount of revenue, and the advertisement duty, which did not reach 200,0001. he did not anticipate so much resistance to them as to the stamp duty. No party or political feel ing was enlisted in defence of the two first-mentioned taxes, and it would not be surprising if the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be found dealing .with them in the course of the next forty-eight hours. (Hear, hear.) But the stamp duty on newspapers was a totally different thing. Its reduction would affect the revenue to the amount of some 400,0001. ; but the resistance to the repeal would not be in proportion to the amount of but would rathar rest on the advantages accruing to certain parties in another direction. (Cheers.) That tax was never imposed for the sake of revenue, and it was not now maintained for the revenue which it yielded. It was originally imposed to prevent the mass of the people from reading newspapers, and he was so uncharitable as to maintain that it was re tained for the self-same purpose. (Cheers and laughter.) He considered the newspaper reading of the age to be mo © important to the mass of grown - up peop le than any other ki n d o f rea ding. He did not mean to say that it w t as ha m t o: desirable than any other reading, but he was sure ws ap all ors present would confess that they read moretofwanse th P e case than of any other printed matter. with respect to the middle classes, how h e gremat bulk of whose it apply to the working classes,.

With re gard to the population of the rural districts, he believed they never would he reached by those works which were so much admired and enjoyed by the people in towns—he meant such works as those published by Messrs. Chambers. (Hear, hear.) They must first of all stimulate the appe tite by giving the people cheap news ; and on this point he was glad to have the opportunity of quoting the opinion of Lord Brougham, who, after alluding to the paper duty, and speaking in high terms of Mr. Knight, and his advo cacy of the removal of that duty, said :—" Now, the stamp is by far the most hurtful of these bad taxes in one essential particular. The instruction of the working classes in the country districts, where it is most wanted, has been almost, entirely prevented by it. When the - Useful "Knowledge Society made for years, efforts of every kind to diffuse sound information amongst the peasantry - - ena,, so costly a very cheap. lam now referring to what would be more cheaply produced, and have a much more limited circula tion ; but it could only be done were there no stamp. That makes it quito impossible, and all our plans so far failed, that we could not diffuse the knowledge where it was most wanted. Our books were read, and they did great service, and still do, besides having brought down the price of all books. But, like mechanics' institutes, we !have not yet got low enough in society, and stamp,th h a e t wn we es o s w d e ici t n o ot th m e akothe beca use wef c o l un ass d es t t h v ain i i .s te c most ignorant another stimulus was wanted—news. Of course my remarks apply also to people in the towns ; but they haN - k, th more helps, and from their social habits more exeltiostient than the people in the country. The lowering of the stun • 1)314 ld., I really can hardly regard as a benefit st" •• t was a sacrifice of revenue —for it only relieved tv,::e` - : Tlea - who required no relief—it put considerable sum 3 into lie pockets of newspaper proprietors, and it saved you and ins a few pounds ,a year to whom this was of but little import ance. It did not enable us to help general education at all." (Cheers.) Having had some experience of rural life he could vouch for the extreme accuracy of the remarks of Lord Brougheau. In agricultural districts, where there were few facilities for reading at all, and where education Was much more defective than in town, it would be quite useless to put into the hands of the peasantry any treatises on science, or extracts from history or travels, for they would not be able to master the subject at all. (Hear, hear.) Follow them from their harvests, and what did they talk about?—When did Tom Giles kill his pig. (Loud laughter.) How many quarters per acre has Farmer So-and-so been getting from such and such a field of wheat ? And if they travelled from their own village, it was only on the occasion of some waggon ••being overturned, or some bridge being swept away by a flood. Beyond that, the ideas and conceptions of that class did not go. (Hear.) Now, if he wanted to reach them he would encourage the growth of cheap local newspapers—(cheers)—by means of which every market town should have its own weekly paper, and in which would be set forth every act of poaching, every burglary, the proceedings at the petty sessions, the quarter sessions, and in the county courts, and having stimulated their taste in that manner, they would be in a condition to receive something more enlarged, comprehensive, and useful. Now the description of news to which he had referred was precisely that with which the law interfered. Anything ancient or speculative might be talked about; butthetopics of to-day or yesterday were news, and that which was most likely to be useful to a man was not allowed to be pub lished. The stamp duty was in fact a prohibitory tax on modern history, imposed on the great mass of the rural population of the country. (Loud cheers). And what was the feat: entertainect freak-the abolition of the stamp duty ?—that leading articles would be writtet oneetopies not sound and safe. It was said that scurrilous articles would appear, and the United States papers were pointed at with the remark, " See how vulgar they are." He was accustomed to see the manner in which these papers spoke of public men, but he could point out in this country daily fashionable newspapers which spoke in very vulgar terms of vituperation of one politician at least, who should be nameless. (Loud cheers and laughter.) He would venture to say that during the last fortnight he could find in those two aristocratic papers—papers that were the pinks of flunkeydom—(loud laughter)—the Morning Herald and the Standard—more personal abuse of one public man than had appeared in any of the United States papers against a public man within the same time. (Cheers.) But admit ting that leading articles did sometimes indulge in a little raciness and vigour, it was a great mistake to suppose that the stamp duty prevented the circulation of such ar ticles, for they could be published without any stamp, whilst news could not be published without a stamp or the risk of a penalty. (Hear, hear.) All he contended for was, that news should be published without a stamp, for it was facts alone which could enable a rational being to form an opinion and arrive at a safe judgment on the topics of the day. (Cheers.) What constituted the value of a newspa per ? Not its leading articles, although many of them were transcendent in point of ! style and intellect. The great bulk of the readers were far more interested in the news, which formed by far the largest portion of the con tents of a paper. (Cheers.) What reason was there for not giving the public an interest in the periodical press of this country ? What had recently happened in a neigh . homing country ? With one stroke of the pen the free dom of the press had been abolished, without any re sistance. But if an attempt was made to abolish the freedom of the press in the 'United states, would there be no opposition ? It would be almost as easy to deprive them of their daily bread as of their daily paper. And why ? Because in America every man was the reader of a daily paper. (Hear.) In France the taste and privilege of newspaper reading was confined to a very small fraction of the community. llear, hear.) Now, was this country on so broad a basis in this respect? To a large majority of the people of the United Kingdom the annihilation of the news paper press would scarcey be considered a calamity. That being the case, he would say to the middle and the upper classes, " If you had no other motive but your own security, take that course which shall, as soon as possible, enlist the great mass of the people on the side of the free dom of the press, by giving them an interest in its enjoy ment." (Loud cheers.) And who were the opponents of the emancipation of the press ? Certain newspaper pro prietors, who had recently been meeting in secret conclave on the subject. This was one of the effects of monopoly, which had the most baneful effect, not only upon the energies, but also upon the intelligence and the judgment of men. (Hear, hear.) Within the last fortnight some twenty-one provincial newspaper proprietors had assembled in London to consider the taxes on knowledge, and they resolved to petition for the removal of the tax on paper,' and the removal of the advertisement duty, but they re solved, by a majority of sixteen to five, to memorialise the Chancellor of the Exchequer to retain the stamp duty in its present shape. (Hear, hear.) Of course the resolution was moved by a Protectionist, and seconded by a Protec tionist, and the areumeut was the same as that used on another great controversy. • It was said, "If you take - off the stamp duty on newspapers the country will be inun dated with a great deal of low trash—that the present newspapers cannot carry on their business and maintain their staff of reporters and editors." That was the old story over again. It was at one thus said, "If you repeal the corn laws you will be inundated with foreign trash, the home grower will never be able to carry on his busi ness, the labourer will be thrown out of employment, and we shall be ruined and starved." (Laughter.) Now he would say to the gentlemen of the newspaper press, " You are the last persons to be consulted in the mat ter." (Hear, hear.) If these gentlemen knew what was best for their own interest, they would be the first to advocate the removal of this tax. (Cheers.) Some of the leading Scotch papers advocated the present duty, because it allowed the paper to pass through the post several times without any extra charge. Now he would make to these parties this proposition. Let all the existing newspapers be allowed to retain the red blot upon their sheets—upon all their impressions—and transmit their paper in the same manner as at present ; but let other papers be at liberty to print upon a sheet of paper without the red stamp, and send the paper off with a postage stamp, to be subjected to another postage stamp on retransmission. (Cheers.) This, however, was not a matter for the con ductors of newspapers. It was a question affecting the interests of the great mass of the people. He hoped it would be taken up as a national question, and that this meeting would be followed up by others, and that in the course of a very short period the taxes on knowledge would be finally abolished. (Loud cheers.) Mr. ROGERS, who spoke at some length, moved an addition to the resolution, to the effect that whilst this meeting fully sympathises with the demand for the repeal of the duties on paper and on advertise ments, and for the abolition of the newspt hpe a e infamous it cannot forbear to deman d the repeal ofto law which requires the p ublishers of newspapers_ üblish seditious libels, libels, which is an effectual give security that th e y t h i e e l' s e s m t a u b s l t i s b l i e m e e h n o t s e o n f a, working-man's press, asll ectual thewbi not se cur i t addrd MT. CHARLES MURRAY, from the rich or middle classes.who (Loud c eshese ers the meeting .) a midst frequent interruptions, seconded the proposition. Mr. BRONTERRE O'BRIEN supported the addition, con tending that it was in perfect harmony with the original proposition. Those who wished for the establishment of a free press, must be desirous of removing that infamous law from the statute book, for so long as it should exist, it would be impossible for five-sixths of the population to have a veritable free press. (Loud cheers.) Mr. M. GIBSON, M.P., said the suggestion just made was quite in accordance with the objects of the association as originally established ; and he suggested, after the word " newspapers," the insertion of the words " and the system of demanding security from periodical publications," wh.c4 he thought would fully meet the views of Mr. Rn , g°, l ; ° " (Cheers.)

(Loud cheers.) He entirely con curred with his honourable friend in thinking the stamp duty of more importance than th e o th er d u ti es , and that a greater resistance would be offered to its repeal than to either the paper or advertisement duty, for on the repeal of the stamp duty depended the existence of cheap news papers. (Cheers.) He believed that those papers which now enjoyed the public confidence would retain their hold on the general community, and that the cheap papers would be circulated in a field not yet explored by the exist ing newspapers, and therefore would not come into direct competition with them. (Loud cheers.) Mr. SAMUEL WILDERSPIN supported the resolution, which, as amended according to the suggestion of Mr. . M Gibson, was carried unanimously. Mr. BICKNELL, of Stroud, and Mr , . OLIVER Of Lowes toft, moved the second resolution : tas the e Tha the 11 ws triflin. sum to revenue, paper stamp produces only a a sitive loss to th e and as the advertisemen t dut y causes p?_ Exchequer, their retent ion can be attributed only to a desire to restrain the liberty, of the press." Mr. DIGBY 'MOUB move d the last resolution : " That the Government having given notice to introduce a bill for the amendment of the law relating to stamps on newspapers, this meeting do appoint its chairman, together with the president and committee of the association, and the undernamed gentlemen, to form a deputation to wait upon the Prime Minister, in order to bring under the no tice of the Government the pernicious effects of the news paper stamp, and press the repeal rather than the amend ment of. the Newspaper Stamp Act." Mr. PHILLIPS seconded the resolution ; and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the proceedings terminated at . a very late hour, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
