AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency ; these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption, Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which, !luring his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' - extensive resulting `ee, has invariably proved successful ; with coneluding remarks nn the evil , g from attempts at self cure. o _ p r ;;:ipiis obsta sero medicina paratur.

The Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the Management of the Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues of the Crown, and to report how far the measures recom mended by the Commissioners appointed under the Act 20, George 111. c. 27, have been carried into effect, and what other Measures such Committee would recommend for fur ther improving and rendering more productive the Hereditary Estates of the Crown, and who were empowered to report the Minutes of the Evidence taken before them to the House, have inquired into the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following Report : Your Committee commenced their inquiries in 1833, and were re-appointed in the present session. The greater part of the land revenue arises in London and Middlesex, where the gross amount of the Crown rents at the present time is 103,6951. per annum. These rents are col lected by'two receivers, Messrs. Kirkland and White, whose joint salary is 1,0001. per annum ; under this joint appoint ment the Office of Woods leaves it to the two receivers to di vide the labour between them as they please. One of them Mr. Kirkland, also holds an appointment under the Secretary at War, as general agent, for which he receives a salary of 1,0501. per annum, out of which he defrays the expenses of his office, in which seven clerks are employed. Mr. Kirkland also does private business as an army agent. It appears to your committee, that it would be more advi sable to employ for the collection of the Crown rents in London and Middlesex, a single receiver, who is not otherwise con cerned in agency business. On this subject your committee have called for a report made to the Treasury by the Office of Woods, which will he found in the Appendix No. 1. ( Sess. 1834.) Another receivership is for the counties of Norfolk and Suf folk : its amounts is 2,5001. or 2,6001. per annum, and the re ceiver, Mr. Day, is allowed 5 per cent. on the collection. The Crown rents for 18 other counties, yielding about 16,0001. per annum, are collected by two receivers, Messrs. Edward and George Driver, who have 4 per cent. allowed them. The collectorfor the county of Surrey, Mr. Kendall, receives about 2,7001. per annum, with an allowance of 5 per cent. on the collection. The receipt for the counties of Cambridge, Northampton, and Lincoln, amounts to upwards of 12,000/. per annum on the average, and Mr. Custance, the collector, has 4 per cent. on the collection. • For Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire the receipt is about 14,0001. per annum, and the allOwance is also 4 per cent. to Mr. Bower, the collector. For Lancashire, Westmoreland, Cumberland, Durham, and Northumberland, the receipts are about 2,600/. ; Mr. William Fryer has 5 per cent. on the collection. In Derbyshire, the Crown property has been recently sold, with the exception of a very small portion, yielding about 26/ per annum ; Mr. Josiah Fairbauk, the collector, has an allow ance of 4 per cent. For Somersetshire, Dorsetshire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, the receipts amount to about 3,000/. per annum, and 5 per cent. is allowed to Mr. Richard Hawkins for the collection. Sales of Crown lands are made by public auction, and in a few cases by public tender with sealed offers, which is nearly equivalent to public auction. Your Committee investigated the case of a considerable property in Bedfordshire, which was sold by private contract in 1820, - the terms of which sale appear to have been advantageous to the Crown ; but on the subject of sales generally your Committee resolved, " That it appears to them that in all cases in which the property of the Crown may be disposed of, all sales of lands, &c., should be made by public auction (except in cases where it would be obviously inexpedient or unjust so to do) ; that oases may occur in which such a course may be prejudicial to the inte rests of the Crown, or to the fair claims of other parties, in which cases, therefore, the Commissioners of the Woods must have recourse to private treaties ; and that in all cases, there fore, in which the property of the Crown may he so disposed of, the grounds of such a deviation from the usual course of their proceedings shall be stated by the Commissioners of Woods to the Treasury, previously to the conclusion of any treaty for a sale, and subsequently to Parliament, In th e first report which the Commissioners of Woods shall lay before the Legislature after the completion of such sale. As these grounds, it is presumed, would in many cases be the same, the committee are also of opinion that in the reports to Parliament the object might be better effected by a classification of the cases of sale under each of the above heads ; that in all future reports of the Commissioners, in lieu of the general schedule of sales now annexed to those statements, there shall be separate sche dules of sales by auction and sales by private treaty ; and that, in addition to the particulars already laid before Parliament in those cases, the Commissioners of Woods shall state against each sale the amount of the valuation upon which the sale was effected." In 1827, a sum of 257,0001. was paid by the Commissioners of French Claims out of the French fund, into the Office of Woods, in aid of the " Woods' fund" generally. Out of this money (which has been repaid by the Office of Woods to the Commissioners of French Claims) t.vo sums were paid by a written order from the Treasury for the ex penses of York-house; one of 25,0001., payable to Mr. Roths child, and the other 31,000/. payable to Messrs. Coutts. The attention of your committee was drawn to this transac tiott as connected with the sale of York-house, the detailed particulars of which are given in evidence, and upon which your committee came to the following resolution :—" That the advance of monies to the Commissioners of Woods in aid of the funds of their department, out of monies in the hands of the Commissioners of French Claims, was irregular ; and that the subsequent application of a part of the same monies in the purchase of York-house could only be accounted for from the peculiar circumstances in which the property appears at that time to live hen placed ; and that a general want . of regularity appears to have pervaded these transactions. , - , : nich r••`'" more to some loss, and as the committee cannot hut refer to with! regret- • more especially the theye llitigation ga t have ion already c subjected on ; the ot e~~►ic respecting the mort gage to Messrs. Greenwood, Is still subsisting." Several witn@ilses were examined as to the outlay of 9,158/. in improvements upon the " Ort's Estate," near Reading. The chief items are for a new road and two bridges ; one over the Kennet and one over the New Cut, 4,087/. Bs. 9d. ; for a new road, 2,5541. 18s. 10d. The rent received by the Crown for this estate was 5301., and the lessee, by sublettings, receiving 6661. per annum. Part of this property was sold in 1832 for 11,1241. ; a second sale, in 1833,_produeed 12,060/. ; and for the estimated value of the remainder unsold is 13,9701. Mr. Driver g ives his det a il e d reasons for thinking that if the new road had not been made, and the two bridges built, the property would not have produced one-half of what it has been *old tbr, Another witness (an old inhabitant of Reading) thinks that the alterations were as good a disposition as could have been made for the advantage of the estate of the Crown, and that they also have been convenient and advantageous to the town of Reading. A surveyor and estate agent, who resides at Reading, thinks the property has been disposed of in the most eligible way for the benefit of the Crown, and lie approves of the construction of the bridges. Another witness is of opinion that the new road has much benefitted the sale of the Crown property, but he does not consider that any benefit has arisen from the two bridges. Mr. Billing, a surveyor and builder, and surveyor to the Corporation of Reading, states his reasons for thinking that the road should have been united with a road to be made by the Corporation through their own property, and that upon the whole the Crown has incurred an unnecessary expenditure of s,OOOL Mr. Law, who for many years had a wharf at Reading, and is acquainted with the Crown property there, objects to the line of road which has been made, and states that the bridge over the " New Cut" might have been built at less cost to the Crown, by consenting to an arrangement proposed by the Commissioners of Thames Navigation. Mr. Law also doubts the utility of the " Kennet" bridge. The evidence on this matter being of so contradictory a nature, some of your committee went to Reading and viewed the property ; and the result of the whole investigation was, that your committee, without coming to any formal resolution on the subject, are of opinion that (although 9,158/. was a large sum to lay out in alterations and in improvements), as the sale of the property has turned out, the expenditure has not been injudicious. The forests and woodlands stand upon a footing different from that of the manors and the demised estates. There has been of late years a very considerable expendi ture in enclosing forests for the planting and protection of timber ; whi c h ou tl a y w ill gra d ua lly diminish in future years, and an augmentation to the public revenue from the produce of the forests may hereafter be expected. The plantations were begun about 1809, and up to the pre sent time towards 40,000 acres have been enclosed and planted. One of the members of the board visits the principal forests every year ; and your committee are of opinion that this sys tem of periodical inspection should be vigilantly adhered to, and the condition of the timber in each forest particularly re ported upon, with the view of ascertaining whether the persons having the immediate charge of the forests are sufficiently at tentive in the discharge of their duties. LEAMINGTON SPA. JAN. 31.—The electioneering contests in various parts of the kingdom having terminated, the influx of company during the last week has been considerable, while our departures have been limited. The weather having become milder, our fa shionable circles have been attracted to the public establish ments, which have presented a very lively appearance, con trasted with that of the preceding week, when the severe frost deprived the promenades of their customary bustle and interest. The fourth winter ball took place at the Upper Assembly Rooms on Wednesday. The Patroness of the evening was Mrs. Bisshopp, and the Patron, J. Barnard, Esq. The com pany, although not so numerous as was expected, owing to private parties on the preceding and following evenings, com prised many of the most influential of our resident, and the more distinguished of our visiting, fashionables. The grace ful dance was opened at ten o'clock, and the elegant throng continued to enjoy its enlivening pleasures for several hours. Among those present we observed— Lord William Lennox, Hon.

An account of the management of WiOlprqtitai l with par. titulars of the untiql vippnclityirp the present time, as • in the evidence P g ' iv r e% 4 W h i i t4 th Sh e 4 cie cl p t u l i 4 y rm ran r s . p ),l3' . 4i ! ! that tio . r.- " ,will be fon” .., anu it is satisfactory to observe .......ds ueen a considerable reduction in the disburse ments since 1829. The timber is exclusively under the management of the Oftioe of Woods, and in Windsor Outer Park the roads are under the care of the office. In Windsor Great Park some are under the office, and some under the Ranger; and it ap pears by the evidence of Mr. Milne (2,097) that it would be better to have the whole under the charge of one authority. Part of the pay of the keepers is derived from fees and per quisites, which system appears to your committee to be in some respects objectionable, and to require such alteration as Would give distinct salaries to the keepers, and by taking off WALES. The land revenue in Wales, Monmouth, and Chester is aliout 5,0001. per annum. Mr. John Wilkin is receiver, and his net average emolument on the collection is 4001. per annum, Mr. Wilkin has also 400/. per annum retired allowance, as senior clerk in the Tax-office, and 3001. per annum as In spector of Fines and Penalties belonging to the Crown ; and he has apartments unfurnished at the house used as an office in Spring-gardens. He gives securities, one in 5,0001., and himself in 10,000/. Since his appointment in 1819 some legal proceedings have been instituted for the recovery of arrears due to the Crown, and these proceedings have been removed into the Court of Exchequer, where the suit is not yet determined. . - . The witness also describes some cases in which consider able encroachments had taken place on wastes belonging to the Crown. He states the " arrears" which he considers as due to the Crown in North Wales to amount to between 50,000 L and 60,0001. on a rental of about 3.0001. per annum. In South Wales the arrears are 4,600/., and they are nearly irrecoverable. He ascribes these arrears and irregularities in North Wales to the neglect of former receivers. It appears, at the same time, that there is some difficulty in ascertaining and distinguishing- the just rights of the Crown, and of individuals ; and Mr. Wilkin is of opinion that the ap pointment of a commission to ascertain these rights would be an expedient measure, and indeed, that if such a commision be not appointed, the rights of the Crown will ultimately be nearly lost in North Wales. Your committee, however, do not immediately recommend the appointment of a commission, which must necessarily be expensive, as it appears to them that the Commissioners of Woods may institute an inquiry on the spot ; and if they find that serious difficulties do exist in defining the boundaries of Crown lands and of private property, or that parties capable of giving information are unwilling to come before them for that purpose, they may, if the subject should be deemed of suf ficient importance, bring it under the notice of Parliament, with the view of being empowered to institute a more efficient inquiry. Mr. Roberts, resident at Carnarvon, states, that he is well acquainted with the localities and customs of the highland part of Wales; that the rights of private property are as clearly defined in unenclosed tracts of land, as if they had been en closed, and that claims are set forth on the part of the Crown which are undefined in their nature and extent, and vexatious towards the freeholder. The same witness describes the present state of the ferries over the Menai Straits ; arid he considers that the general in terests of the two counties of Carnarvon and Anglesea P " - e in jured by the mode in which these ferries .are ef— ..uucted, and that the lessee of the Crown claims an 7 within certain limits from Car -ctusiveright of ferry Carr to Barris, which inter feres with that fair com , - - ,etition which would b e ' advantageous to the public, Thi; alleged right has been the subject of a private action. He is of opinion, that if the lense of the ferry from Car nation to Barris be granted to Lord Boston, the public will not have that regular and proper accommodation for passing the Straits of Menai which they have a right to expect. Upon this point your committee have to observe that rights of ferry belonging to the Crown ought not to be granted on lease to private individuals who may derive emolument under sack grant; as, in whatever form such leases may be framed, persons frequenting the ferry can seldom obtain redress without great difficulty and expense where the ferry is improperly or negligently conducted, and that wherever it is practicable suoh ferries ought to be vested in Paritamentary trusts, under such regulations as will insure that the whole profits arising from the ferry (with the exception of such rent as may have been formerly paid to the Crown) shall be em ployed in supporting and improving the ferry for the public advantage. The inconveniences complained of at the ferry between the counties of Carnarvon and Anglesea might be best obviated by an act of Parliament empowering trustees to establish a public ferry in the situations most convenient for forming communications between Carnarvonshire and An glesea, with power for the trustees to purchase (if it should be deemed necessary) the lease granted by the Crown to Lord Boston, and any private rights of ferry which might prevent their making such arrangements for the ferry as will be found most safe and convenient for the public. SCOTLAND. The Appendix contains a return by the King's Remem brancer in Scotland, of all feu duties, teind duties, and rents payable to the Crown in Scotland, with the exception of those belonging to the Crown in Orkney, with regard to which there is a report by Mr. Thomas Graham, Chamberlain of the Crown estates. There is also a return showing the amount received on account of the several branches of the Crown re venue in Scotland, from the accession of his present Majesty to the term of Whitsunday 1833, and the appropriation thereof. Your committee have had more particularly under their consideration the state of the Crown property in Orkney, and have examined on this subject Mr. Milne, the Secretary to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and Mr. Maeken, zie, who acts as solicitor for this Board in Scotland. The.y have also put queries in writing to Mr. Maconochio., Depute of Orkney, which, together with his answer -, will be found in the minutes of evidence. The two first-mentioned cyneltemen . ledge of the country, 410 hu vinti no local know onlyhu, ' since last yoar, were al O- nad charge of this estate the amount of the re' e to give little information beyond it arises, the o. -A ..‘, the description of property from which public burdens, and the expense of manage ment.. The gross rent is stated to be about 1,5001., of which about 800/. arise from feu and teind duties, payable in kind, and the remainder from lands. The public burdens are 1951. 14s. 2d., and the expense of management is between 500/. and 600/. The surplus or free revenue would amount to between 8001. and 900/. The Sheriff-Depute states that he has held that situation for upwards of 12 years, and has endeavoured to make himself acquainted with the Crown estate in the Sheriffdom : the re sult of his inquiry is a decided opinion that it is not for the in terest of the Crown to retain a property so remote, so scat tered, and so expensively managed as this estate in Orkney ; and he conceives it would be better to sell it now than to at tempt any course of improvement, or to delay the sale until the commons and runridge lands have been divided, and the questions of disputed right adjusted. His reasons for this opinion will be found in the minutes of evidence ; and looking to the situation which this gentleman holds as Sheriff-Depute of the county, and to the means which he has bad of forming a correct judgment, your committee are disposed to acquiesce in his conclusions. It appears to your committee that immediate steps should therefore be taken to ascertain the value of the property, and the best mode of bringing it to sale ; and as soon as an ade quate price can be obtained, that it should be sold under the authority of the Act of Parliament which enables the Com missioners of Woods and Forests to dispose of property simi. larly situated ; and your committee recommend, for the rea sons assigned by him, that legal proceedings at the instance of the Crown, for the division of commons and runridge lands in Orkney, should be suspended until it shall be ascertained whether the value of the property will be increased by such proceedings in an amount equal to the expense to bo incurred. IRELAND. The land revenue in Ireland amounts to about 52,000/. per annum, and the management of it was transferred to the Office of Woods in 1827. That portion of the revenue which consists of quit, Crown, and composition rents is unimprovable ; but an increase may arise from that part of it which is derived from lands, and from the sale of reversionary interests. In selling these quit rents the price demanded is equal to 26 years' amount of the yearly rents and acquittance fees, if the same be less than 51. per annum, and if the rents are con veyse. to subsist for the use of the purchaser. if the rents be extinguished, the present rate of purchase is 25 years' amount of the rent and fees. Your committee have conflicting evidence as to what is the usual selling price of land of good title in Ireland. One witness says, its present market value is 25 years' amount of its fair net yearly value, throughout Ireland. Another witness says the rates of purchase vary very much in Ireland : from 30 years in the county of Down, 22 years in the midland counties, to 18 or 19 years in the southern coun ties, and that 22 years may be taken as the average through out Ireland for land let at a reasonable rent : and a third wit ness states that 20 years is the medium rate of purchase for fee simple estates throughout Ireland. The attention of your committee has been drawn to the re versionary interests of the Crown, arising out of the forfei tures in the time of Charles I. and King William ; but prin cipally those by the adherents of James 11. The Crown, in Ireland, is not barred by fine and recovery ; in England, by the Act 3 and 4 William IV., c. 74, s. 15, the Crown is so barred. It is stated that these claims were not kuoan till a few years ago, the discovery of them having been made in 1827 or 1828, in the cause of " Dardia zs. Dardia" (a full account of which is given in Appendix, Nos. 9t, 26, and 27 of 6th Re port of the Commissioners kip.peared that a an • ' ;; T oods to Parliament), when it crown . outstanding remainder was vested in •: ne dy torfeiture in 1689. There are extensive estates in Ireland. to which the Crown is entitled in remainder and reversion, some of which have been sold under titles which are stated to have been unexception able, and which may now vest in the Crown, discharged of all incumbrances, settlements, mortgages, &c. On the other hand, the principal clerk in the Irish Land Revenue Department states that these reversionary interests of the Crown rest upon the known laws of the land, and are not dormant claims recently revived and asserted; and that, in point of fact, the laws affecting these reversions in the Crown have never been alike in England and Ireland. With respect to the establishment of the office of Woods at Whitehall, a return has been called for, detailing the arrange ments which have been made subsequant to the injunction of the offices of surveyor-general of land revenues, and surveyor- LAW NOTICES.

It has excited a good deal of sgrprise that so few pri soners are committed for trial in ilhd • above Court by the Magistrates of Essex, Kent, and Surrey, part of which counties it has jurisdiction over, as well as the whole of the county of Middlesex. Three sessions have been held since the Act came into operation, yet there have not been more than 50'from the three counties, and one of the calendars was blank as to the county of Essex, so that at present the benefits anticipated to result from this alteration of the metropolitan criminal. jurisprudence remain to be realized. Upon investigation it has heen discovered that some parts of the statute upon which the Court is established are defective, and particularly so in two instances which are here noted. When the second or amended Bill was taken into the House of Commons it contained the following (the 9th) clause :—" And be it further enacted that the justices. of the peace acting in and for the City of London and the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Kent, and Essex, shall not at their general quarter session of the peace, or at any adjournment thereof, inquire of, hear, determine, or try any offence committed or alleged to have been committed within. the limits of this Act, for which the offender may, if con victed, be liable to a greater punishment than transportation beyond the seas for the term of seven years." This clause was eventually struck out ul7on the motion of the Marquis of Chandos, and the Legislature were pleased to substitute another in its stead (wb-2:eil forms the 19th section of the act), in which the raimus offences are enumerated which the magistrates that th e 'are incompetent to try, an d w hi c h re cites;,:istices shall not try the following offences if or alleged to be committed, w ithi n th e li m i ts this act :—" That is to say, housebreaking, stealing above the value of .5/. in dwelling-houses, horse-steal ing, sheep-stealing, cattle-stealing, maliciously woi:aiding cattle, bigamy, forgery, perjury, conspiracy, as Ault with intent to commit a felony, administering poison with intent to do bodily harm, administering drugs with in tent to cause or procure abortion, manslaughter, destroying or damaging ships, the breaking of shops, warehouses, &c., killing sheep with intent to steal the carcases, the uttering of all kinds of forged instruments," &c. There are also several other offences named, but it is singular enough that that which is the most prevalent in the metropolis is entirely omitted, although it subjects the party convicted to be transported for life—viz., " stealing from the person," or what is generally termed " street robberies." Under these circumstances, an application will be made to Parliament to add a rider to the Act, and introduce the words " stealing from the person," and expunge from the 17th section the words " within the limits of this Act," whereby it is said the existing defect will be cured. There is also another circumstance connected with the statute which has already been the cause of consi derable embarrassment to the Magistrates. It is a matter of frequent occurrence that persons who have been con victed of felony commit a second offence after the expira tion of their term of imprisonment, and are thereupon brought to justice, and should they be convicted, the law awards transportation for 14 years, the certificate of the former conviction being placed upon the record—hence this becomes an offence which the justices of the peace are in competent to try. It follows, therefore, that magistrates ought not to send any case of larceny, however trifling, to the quarter session, because in most cases it is impossible for them to know whether the prisoner has or has tot been previously convicted. This is another defect wbicli must be speedily remedied, otherwsie the purposes of the act be come inoperative. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE VESSELS ENTERED 'INWARDS AT THE CUS TWLHOUSE. FEB. 2.
