Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. that t larri it ag ma a y re b g e ni r r e e al s l t y he th f e ul e fi a l u m s e e n e t f o m f u s t e u v e e t ra h l ap c p o i n n d e i s t s i . ons c . e in uld or t d h e e r veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early lie or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plyinf, to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the Broad so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of lisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the inedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost contidence should be extended.

GEORGE PREVOST, BART.—ALLEGED ILLEGAL DETENTION Ok' A RETIRED OFFICER AS ♦ LUNATIC AT BATH. In this case an application had been made at the instance of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society on behalf of Mr. George William Dixon, a retired officer of engineers, atpre sent confined in Northwoodsl Lunatic Asylum, near Bris tol, before the Learned Baron, for a writ of habeas corpus, directed to Dr. Henry Hawes Fox, the keeper of such asylum, to bring up the alleged lunatic, and return the authority and cause of his detention, to ground an appli cation fur his discharge, on the ground that the medical certi ficates upon which he was confined were improperly obtained, and were not in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 4 and 9 Vict., c. 100. The affidavits in support of the application stated that the alleged lunatic, who is a single gentleman, about 48 years of age, and in possession of an income of about 3001. per annum, had resided for the last six years in the same lodgings, at No. 4, North-parade, Bath, and that during the whole of that time he had conducted himself with the greatest propriety, and always appeared fu ll y competent to manage his affairs, se ttling and paying his accounts with the most per fect clearness ; but in the month of June last it became necessary that he should move from his those lodg ings, owing to some neces sar y repairs, acousin, the s ! Rev. Sir George Prevost. Ba rt., vicar of tinch ct tom, near Dursley, was written to on the sub j ect, upon h which _he shortly afterwards visite I Mr. Di xon, brin g ing with himD r. Watson, a physician ; and without an y communication, either to Mr. Dixon or Mr. Gray, his landlord, in two days after the i Mr. nterview k b e e t e w p e e r e n fro S m i r t George t P h r ‘ e v s o - o o s d t s , Dr. Lunatic Watson,A sl a n n in d ap peared with a note from Sir George Prevost, "that the bearer would assist Mr. Dixon to remove to mire comfortable lodgings." He, however, refused to remove, upon which Dr. Watson nffi_ a a certificatethat sent r. for, w horepresented that i Dixon was tnsane, and thatcient authority for his removal. M r. Dixon, however, re had d fui.ed to go, and the keeper went away, but returned the fol lowing day with another keeper, and produced an order signed by Sir George Prevost, one of the keepers stating that they had had the night before to send twenty miles fur another certificate, and ultimately Mr. Dixon was forcibly removed to the asylum. Intormatton of these circumstances having been forwarded to the Alleged Lunatics' Friend So ciety, their solicitor, Mr. Bolden, proceeded to Bath and Bristol, to inquire into the circumstances attending the case, when the irregularity in the certificates , as required by the statute of 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 100, having been discovered, the application for the writ of habeas corpus was made on the 17th July, and granted by Mr. Baron Alderson; but the irregularity having on the 15th July been communicated to Dr. Fox, on the 17th July he wrote to the solicitor, stating that " Mr. Dixon was sufficiently recovered to be discharged, and he was no longer his patient." Mr. Dixon not having returned to his lodgings, application was made to Dr. Fox and Sir G. Prevost for his address, but refused; and it then being evident that Mr. Di xon was s till k e pt p r i v ately con fined, re. case Fox. on the 28th J u ly l ast t h e wr i t o f h a b eas was se rved on now came on, on the return to the writ of habeas corpus, from which return it appeared that since the former application , only four d a y s b e f ore t h e wr i t was l o d ge d, Sir George Prevost had signed another order, and obtained two other medical certificates, of Dr. Watson and Dr. Sy monds, upon which the alleged lunatic was now detained in the asylum, having been taken back there on the 25th of July. The delusions under which Mr. Dixon is labouring being stated in the certificates, " that voices continually pur• avin K g e been sing t a o n n 7, l : e e s d p e b u y t n s o g m s e o n p l e e r s c o l n a s i m a s t ü ßat n h , h t i o s sued him in connexion with some legal matters, a nd th at h e asbpnrOtfeireoorf'farlom p'roperty ; that he allowed himself to be questioned abruptly about his affairs without the slightest emotion, and that his singular hesitancy of speech and self-iteration mani fested imbecility of mind." The return further stated that Mr. Dixon was detained in pursuance of a request from Sir George Prevost, in conformity with the provisions of t h e statute 8 and 9 Vic., chap. 100 . Mr. EDYE appeared in support of the return, and to oppose the application for the discharge of Mr. Dixon, on the part of Sir G. Prevost, and stated that the application had been made under a complete misunderstanding of the whole case, and that the affidavits which he was prepared to produce would sufficiently explain the case, and fully justify the course pursued by Sir George Prevost. Mr. Edye also stated that the former certificate was thus ex plained :—that Dr. Fox's establishment was divided into two parts, his private room and the asylum; that Mr. Dixon was tint taken to the private house, where be was seen by Mr. flay, a neighbouring surgeon, who signed the requisite cer tificate, and then Mr. Dixon was put into the asylum. Mr. CHANDLER objected, before the facts appearing upon the affidavits were gone into, that the certificates were not in conformity to the schedule of the Act of Parliament, and were therefore bad, inasmuch as they did not state that Dr. Watson and Dr. Symonds w ere d u l y authorised to practire as such physicians, and which, by the 43d section of the Act, was required to be stated. With respect to the alleged delusions, it was shown that Mr. Dixon had been greatly annoyed respecting his late brother's affairs, and from his nervous irritability and natural hesitation in speaking, had often great difficulty in making himself understood when much excited. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said the objection was entitled to some weight and consideration, but he was of opinion the most advisable course would be for both parties to consent that two authorised physicians by the Court of Chancery should visit Mr. Dixon, and examine him as to the state of his mind - , - as without some such evidence he should not be disposed to make any order. Atter much argument and discussion, it was finally ordered by the Learned Baron that Dr. Southey, the Lord Chancel lor's commissioner, and Dr. Alderson, should s-e all the affidavits to be used, and see and examine Mr. Dixon, and that the matter should stand over until they had made their report, he, the Learned Baron, undertaking to see thoss gentlemen upon the subject, and also to consider their report and the affidavits, and apprise the parties of his de cision. The case was then ordered to stand over, and the parties withdrew. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHELMSFORD RACES.--.TUESDAY. Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, and 50 added. Heats, New Mile. (9 Subs.) Lord W.

Mr. Deputy Peacock presided. The report was received with mush gratification by the members of the Commission present, inasmuch as the fact was communicated to the Court that Lord Morpeth had agreed to make an alteration in the 88th and 50th clauses of the first-named Bill, so as to exempt the city of London from their operation, or at least to modify the effect of such provisions. After the transaction of some other business the Commissioners adjourned, on the understanding that the whole of the proceedings should be made known after the Noble Lord had brought up the Bill on Thursday next, m ameuded.

After the means for flushing sewers and driving their contents into the Thames, it is surely worth considering, until better means be discovered, how the accumulated liquid filth is commingled with the river water and carried away seaward by the tide. Every old " West. minster" knows that formerly he could get a drink of clear water over the side of his boat about the latitude of Putney-bridge; but he can't now, nor at a great deal higher up the river. Although by means of improved and increased sewage u much larger quantity of filth, &c., is sent into the Thames, there is not so much mud upon the shores above London-bridge as formerly; and there can be no doubt that the agitation caused by steam-b(,ats disperses it. Should it not, therefore, be a matter of caution how interference with such boats be made, that their usefulness in a sanitary point of view be not abated. The EARL OF WILTON'S N ENV YACHT.—This splendid vessel sailed for C , ,wes on Monday last, between four nnd tive o'clo c k, A . m. H er b urden i s 200 tons, l engt h 115 feet from figure-head to tatfrail ; below she is capacious, and conveniently laid out, her height between decks is 7 feet ; she r has a large b er th f orward for the crew, about 20 i n num ber, with galley and every convenience for their comfort. No expense seems to have been spared; and her saloons, cabins, bed-pla ces , b e d s, ta b les, sideboards, sofas, glasses, lamps, with every possible requisite, are exceedingly hand some. Her m a i nmast i s 80 feet, and her foremast 78 feet in length ; they were only obtainable in the London river. Her sails are proportionally large, containing about 5,000 yards of canvas.— her oiiport Telegraph. A rrangettients are making by the West-end bankers to close at four o'clock instead of five o'clock, from the Ist of October. The Bank of England and City bankers have done so since May last. AN INTREPID ACT.—On Tuesday evening a young lad, while endeavouring to walk on the edge of a coal barge moored over a deep spot in the canal at :death, fell through the narrow space between the bank and the barge, where he clung for a few moments, and then sunk beneath the binge. An intrepid man, named Anthony Williams, a glazier, who stood on the opposite side of the canal, on learning the situa tion of the lad, plunged into the canal, and on arriving at the si le of the boat, (lived beneath it, and finally secured and brought up the body, which was afterwards restored to life, much to the joy of his parents, who are too poor, however, to express their gratitude in the manner such conduct deserves. —Cambrian. AN INFURIATED Ox.—On Monday, about three o'clock in the afternoon, an ox of the highland breed, overdriven and excited, broke from its drover in the neighbourhood of Newport Market, and atter causing great: alarm in Long-acre and Great Queen-street, found its way into Lincoln's-inn-square. Here an attempt was made to stop its progress by a number of butcher boys, a crowd of spectators lending their aid, and rather in creasing by their occasional advance and retreat the fury of the animal. The poor beast, after surveying its opponents for a few moments, made a sudden rush upon the crowd in the direction of Stone-buildings. In aa instant the spectators were flying in every direction. The first person attacked by the animal was the porter of Lincoln's. inn Hall, but he having had the presence of mind to close the iron gates escaped injury, the ox merely butting the iron rails with great force. A gentleman named Marrett, resident in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and who was entering the square from Stone-buildings, was not so fortunate. The animal, defeated in its attack on the porter, rushed upon this gentleman, who appeared paralysed by its approach. and stood with his back against the iron railings. The ox rushed upon him and butted him with great violence, one of the animal's horns entering his left temple. He immediately fell senseless. The animal then passed into Stone-buildings, where some unsuccessful attempts were made to secure it by means of ropes. Mr. Marrett was at once picked up and conveyed in a perfectly senseless state to King's College Hospital, where, by a singular coincidence, he was re cognised by Mr. Sedgwick, the house surgeon, as an old schoolfellow. The ox again escaping, passed through Chancery-lane, and ran down Holborn in the direction of Smithfield, seriously injuring several persons, and causing the greatest alarm. At length, after passing through several droves of cattle, it fortunately entered Fox and Knot yard, a locality abounding in slaughter houses, and leaping over an iron bar imprisoned itself in a narrow court, where by means of ropes let down from the roofs of the houses, it was eventually secured and slaughtered. SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CUATIIAM.—A grand mi litary display will take place on Friday next, on . which occasion the whole of the troops of this garrisondwmill take iners, part in the operations. The Royal sappers an with the Hon. East India Company's sappera, ^uns, heavyare work ing night and day, erecting field batteries fore.uubts upon a. at if approaches necessary for storming d large scale, similar to those redoubts that ar the Duke of Wellington caused to be erected at Torres . Vedras against .. the French army. It is expect ed that 6,000 men willlse under arms. The siege will be the most extensive that has ever yet been witnessed in this country, as as the works stand over several acres of ground. —Canterbury Journal. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales were 4,000 bales, of which 3,000 were American for exportation. The market closed heavily. Railway shares were without alteration, though prices still had a downward tendency. It seems to be understood in banking circles that there is at the present time scarcely any possibility of forming an opinion as to the future position of the money mar ket, and consequently that the utmost circumspection will be necessary for some time to come in all transac tions where credit is involved. The general impression is, and we trust well founded, that happen what may, England will be preserved from the danger and the cost of a continental war ; while upon the subject of the weather there are hopes that even the intervals of sunshine and warm winds may prove sufficient to allow of the harvest being secured in tolerably good condition. That it will be en abundant yield is hardly to be anticipated. There will ,be min+ attention directed to the state of the.. Bank of England account, because of the apprehension that there may be a steady decline in the bullion. It is too soon, however, to look for a heavy drain in the direction of the Continent, though a gra dual decrease of the precious metals is to be anti cipated, as orders for grain have been sent abroad more freely within the last few days; and there has been some amount of specie forwarded to Germany, and, as is supposed, for the service of Austria. The grain market is firm to-day,:with a moderate business doing. The accounts from the River Plate are exciting almost daily the complaints of every merchant here con nected with the trade, once so important, of that part of the world, and there is a growing and most anxious desire that our Government should use every exertion to bring the matter to an issue. Hitherto there has been nothing gained on our part of all the objects contemplated, nor is there apparently any probability of success. Either the blockade will have to be abandoned, and even in a national point of view it has proved onerous to us, or the war must be vigorously prosecuted. How far John Bull would relish the idea of a contest for the sake of a South American republic, of which he scarcely knows the name, remains to be proved. The Funds have not been very animated to-day. Consols opened at 861 3, being flat in consequence of the failure of a speculator who had been operating for the rise.

It fortunately turns out that the loss of human life, occa sionc•d by the late fearful explosion, is not so great as was apprehended. It has been ascertained that only three per sons— the brother and sister-in-law of the proprietor, Mr. Luton (not Hatfield, as erroneously stated), and a servant girl —were in the house at the time when the accident was occasioned by a candle being brought into contact with a volume of gas, which must have been for some days escaping and accumulating in the shop. Mr. Loton and his sister are seriously injured. During yestuday afternoon. Mr. Toplis, the surveyor to the Sun Fire-office, and Mr. Hodgson, the assessor of losses, as well as several eminent surveyors connected with other fire offices, visited the ruins for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of mischief done. The whole of these gentlemen are of opinion that no explosion of similar violence has ever taken place in the metropolis, and it was a matter of asto nishment how so large a quantity of gas as must have accu mulated in the shop could have escaped. From their inspection we learn that the total number of houses damaged extends to one hundred and three, some of which are totally destroyed, and others are rendered unsafe for habitation. a) 1,4 - 13% 1 1 4 18 24 1 A 316 665 12)i, Now ready, MR.
