Could the that it may be really the cause o f veil, which covers the origin of do m e stic wretchedness, he raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how .y could it be traced to physical disq ua lifi ca tions and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always iMario ns ; the gift, which when a becomes,sed in moderation is fraught with advantage, when injury to .the prolific source of mischief and of g reater or less to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses , on the nature and conseeuence of which this Treat ise p rofesses 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 life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread 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 canoes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse , sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON. On Saturday night the subscription season terminated most worthily with 1 Puritani and the Pas des Deesses. These works were received with the loudest demon strations of satisfaction by a crowded audience; and when the national anthem was sung—the whole troupe being present—the array of rank in the house, and the array of talent on the stage, equally prove that her Ma jrsty's Theatre, up to this moment, presents more than ever that character of high art, and that prestige of tttshion, which has rendered it the great centre of refine ment and the chosen rendezvous of good society. This result will appear more remarkable if we reflect under what adverse circumstances this position has been main tained ; and that this season, this costly establishment has had not only to battle with and conquer the same hostility as in the previous year, but has had, likewise, to contend, first, with a state of commercial depression, and ttbxt, with one of public alarm and mental absorp tion,.which have ruined other establishments on a lesser scale of expenditure. If we look back to pass the customary review, and dis eSver through what means this result has been pro— duced, we find that the first source of success has been the spirit of order and upright feeling with which the establishment has been conducted. From this spirit of management it has arisen that the public has never been disappointed, nor the relations of good feeling betwixt the audiences and the management beep disturbed—all theatrical bickering*, caprices, and jealousies (if any have arisen) having given way to the fairness and firm ness of the ruling principle. To estimate the claims of the establishment on the lovers of art, and see how many new artists have been introduced to the musical world, we need only throw a glance at the performances with which the theatre opened on the 19th of February. There we see the fol lowing artists added to the resources of the opera in this country. In Ernani there was Gardoni and Bolide, fully established in public estimation by their exertions of the previous year; whilst Cruvelli and Belletti came forward for the first time to claim their large share of public favour. Cruvelli is an excellent exponent of the new school of Italy, whilst Belletti, in his department—an infinitely varied one—has no rivalry to fear, combining, as he does, a fresh and powerful voice with unerring execution and justness of intonation. In the ballet department (in Fiorita) we beheld once more two new and admirable acquisitions, Rosati and Marie Taglioni, who, on Saturday last, at the close of the long subscription season, after standing the test of the most powerful rivalry, still claimed not only undi minished, but increasing public favour. Nor can we for bet that Fiorita—a ballet so often repeated with the same success—proved how judicious was the engagement of M. Paul Taglioni as an additional maitre de ballet. In the orchestra the acquisitions have been no less re markable. Piatti, Lavigne, Langlois, Zeiss, Remusat, and other professors of the highest reputation form the important addition to the instrumental department, which Mr. Balfe has ruled with consummate talent. _ The season is best divided betwixt the epoch before and that after the arrival of Jenny Lind. In the first period we had, besides the two best operas of Verdi, Ernani and Nino, a new opera of this same author, Attila; then came Coletti (thronghout the sea son applauded) to revive his matchless impersonation of I Due Foscari. This constituted a full representation of the new school of Italy—the best works in that style that can be found. During this portion of the season we had also other operas of older reputation— /I Barbiere, performed seven times with success, in which we had besides an excellent Rosina in Cruvelli, not only a Figaro of such merit as we little expected to behold, but likewise a Bartolo beyond expectation in that most efficient vocalist, F. Lablache ; whilst that sterling basso, Bouche, by condescending to a small part in this, as on many other occasions, added greatly to the effect of the cast. Lucretia Borgia, likewise given within this period, merits particularly to be sig nalised, since in this opera Lablache—most versatile vocalist, the greatest basso of this or of any past age — made his re-appearance. This wonderful actor and singer, we are happy to say, displays the same vocal ker as well as the same geuius as when heAst drew crowds to her Majesty's Theatre to beholik hiliferform ance in the Matrimonio Segreto. This sAlfon, whether we look to kis terrible impersonation of the truculent tyrant Alfonso, on his first re-appearance, to his all pathetic delineation of the character of Giorgi on Sa. turday, or to his mercurial, fantastic embodiment of the Italian charlatan Dulcamara, in all these parts was be- held the same unrivalled elastlclty of frame, as Will as striking individuality of dramatic conception. Then came the long expected: moment of the re-ap pearance of the peerless Swedish vocalist, who was beheld once more on the anniversary of the same night. Most justly did a gifted contemporary entitle it, in the previous year, " The ever-memorable 4th of May." In the fervour of their enthusiam, numbers there are, amongst the lovers of art, wbo would speak of this first nueting as the great poet of that which ever after ruled his thoughts ; " Benedetto six 'I giorno, e 'I Mese, a '1 anno, Ela stagione e'l tempo e'l ore e punto, a '1 loco, ov' io fui giunto." All criticism of Mddlle. Lind's performances is more than superfluous. Originality and novelty characterise all she undertakes ; she resembles no one but herself ; and still, in spite of these gifts, it has been as impossible duly to describe as it is to caricature the marvellous portraitures she presents. The reason is simple: whilst other artists put forth their physical resources, so as to display the mechanism which moves the springs, Mdlle. Lind is all intellectuality and all soul. The parts in which she appeared last year she performed with more power : with these the public is never sur feited ; and crowds after crowds flock to the theatre, to attest her paramount, enduring ascendency, whenever La Fisilia, Alice, or La Sonnambula are performed. But, unquestionably, she has made a still further advance in the career of art in Susanna, of which the neglected "Deh vieni " is such a gem, that it is alone worth a visit to the theatre. Lucia di Lammermoor is sublime in its intimate combination of tragic feeling and vocal power, whilst Elvira is one of those impersonations in which the most extraordinary effects are produced by the most subdued physical power imaginable, and trom the most novel resources. But, as we said before, description can never do justice to such singing and such acting. Amongst the other creditable features of the season was the engagement of the celebrated Viennese contralto, Mdlle Schwartz, and of Madame Tadolini, long deemed the first soprano remaining in Italy, and therefore engaged with the most praiseworthy liberality. We cannot pass over, likewise the re-appearance of Mdlle. Cerito and of Mdlle. Carlotta Grisi, the bright leaders of the two opposite schools of dancing. Still less can we omit to notice the return of Perrot, who has established the highest reputation to which a maitre de ballet ever attained, by combining every possible resource of his art in that poetical and classical ballet, Les Quartre Saisons. The pas, whether for the talent dis played in its conception and production, or for the talents engaged in its representation, is the most remarkable piece of choregraphy ever brought out on any stage. This short retrospective will suffice to show what have been the great merits, under unprecedented difficulties, of the pas.t subscription season. ..

EXTRAORDINARY PRENOMENO - N:4n the forenoon of Monday last, about eleven o'clock, the passengers in the railway train to Methley were attracted by an ex traordinary circumstance— so extraordinary, indeed, that the engine-driver pulled up. The attention of the pas songers was directed to a mown field. Towards the centre of this piece of ground a gush of water burst out to the height of about 12 inches. Immediately after wards it was followed by fire and vapour to the height of about three feet. This extraordinary circumstance oc egred about a mile from Meth ley.—Poncaster Gazette. THE PUBLIC HEALTH BILL DI PROVED BY THE LORDS. Mr. Editor, —,I trust no apolozy is necessary for continuing my strictures on the progress of this im 3ortant measure. My excuse will be found in the lovelty of Sanitary Legislation, the apprehension that - , rrors in details, or complication in the machinery, may mpair the working of the measure, the literally vital concern which the people have in its eLactment, and the unusual perils to which the public health is exposed, from extraordinary states and changes of the atmos ohere, and the continued menaces of renewed invasion by the cholera. Another reason, of a different kind, for recalling the attention of your readers to the subject is, that it becomes as to render justice to the House of Lords in this matter. The forebodings of my letter of June the 11th have not been verified. Instead of sus taining further damage, the Bill has been marvellously improved. Generally speaking, the amendments of the Lords are as judicious and salutary as those of the Corn miis were the contrary. The wilful and selfish blun derings of the Squirearchy have been corrected by the Peerage. We should g ive Dukes their due as well as devils. The occasion for Cobbett's devotional precept, t.e thank God that we have a House of Lords, are not so frequent as to palliate our neglect of them when they do occur. If the expression of such gratitude is called for hut rarely, let it be frank and hearty when it does come. From even the most Radically disposed, it is a rightful tribute on the present occasion. As the Bill left the Commons its provisions could only be introduced into any locality on the petition of not less than one-tenth of the rated inhabitants, with the further limitation that such tenth must consist of at least thirty inhabitants. Without this condition, ;sot even the pre liminary inquiries could be made. This was an instance of the entreme jealousy of central interference, on which I have had so much occasion to comment. Sanitary re form has been treated, by the local magnates and their Parliamentary advocates, as an intruder, who was to be barred out with all conceivable diligence. They were for keeping watch and ward against its approach, as if it were a band of robbers ; and be ready to expel in quiry by a Borough Alien Act. They stuck seriously to the old joke of the Frenchman's exclamation in the water—" I will be drowned—nobody shall help me ;" and resolved to have no compulsory deliverance from filth and fever. Unhappily the declaration was only that of the dominant Squires. They had the swagger, while it was left for the poor people to perish. The amendment interpolated by the Lords is to this effect : Inquiry shall take effect whenever and wherever the deaths in any locality, as reported by the registration returns, exceed, through a period of three consecutive years, those of the adjacent districts, or the general average of the kingdom; or than when more than twenty per cent. of the deaths in such locality result from typhus fever, diarrhoea, :or " other febrile epidemic, endemic, anti contagious diseases, classed in the Registrar. General's return as Zymotic." Such a state of mortality is wisely held by the Lords to super sede the votings of vestries, and override the objections of country squires and town councillors. Disease is al lowed to speak for itself. Fever is heard in evidence, though landlords may protest. The testimony of death is taken as decisive, though against the double votes of parish proprietors ; and open graves are counted to. compare their numbers with filthy cottages. This test is peculiarly objectionable. The Healing Act only asks to come where pestilence has come before it. Like the Angel of Pity, in the parable, it only tracks the foot prints of pain and suffering. According to the old tire tnatic rule, its interposition is only introduced when the difficulty is worthy of a deity for its solution. Those who wish to resist the interference, must first resist the fever. The law appeals from the, perhaps, uninfluenced decision of a parish junta, to the decision of Providence itself. And it declares, in the spirit of Christian legis lation, " Wherever the ravages of mortality are authen ticated, as beyond what they actually are on the ave rage, there will I come to put down the nuisances by which ignorance, indifference, or ,cupidity minister to human suffering and destruction." This is the great point gained by the deliberations of the Select Committee of the Lords. Its worth can scarcely be over rated. The wretchvdest districts will reap the advantage. Relief and want will have their fixed relation ; but, together with this most important change, there are others of a minor character, almost every one of which is in the right direction, and deserv ing of notice on that account. Some of these I proceed to specify. • The fords have refused to allow the Chief Cis. sioner of Woods and Forests \to act alone, %Lif he were the whole Board ; and, except in the event 11 vacancy, they require any two members (ot which it is not neces sary that he should be one) to act in- the application of the law. This is a manifest improvement. The poweL ,fi t originally vested *the Woods and Forests tend 'ti reducetHlP,Board a political accident. It was ti o the tail of an Adt i 4 nistration. The most unfit n of thsvhree migh k ,:rb all the authority. We do not g(ikally find the m t capable functionary installed in thel4'oods and Forests. Some of the s: erets ot that office which arc about to be dragged into light, will, it is said. furnish .an- astounding display_ ofjnetiticiency i neglect, and confusion. The Lords might have done better than they have by effacing the political character of the Board altogether, and providing that all its mem bers should be selected for " appropriate intellectual ap titude." But so great a departure from the constitution of the Board was scarcely within the scope of an amendment. They have dune much. We take the im provement as a gift-horse. The smoke nuisance is very pithily provided for, in an interpolated clause. This object was relinquished in the Commons by the infinitely conceding readiness of Lord Morpeth, as played upon by the proprietors of the Staffordshire collieries. They had the impudence to suggest something about the healthiness of smoke. As the prohibition is restricted within the limits of the " practicable"—and those limits are notoriously large enough to purify many cubic miles of air, and render them fit for human breathing—l trust this valuable boon will escape the sinister influences that arc so powerful in the House of Commons. There are compa ratively few cases in which, either by the consumption of the smoke in properly constructed furnaces, or its avoid ance by the use of Anthracite coal, this is anything more than a question of expense, and that of no very heavy amount. The victims of the nuisance, by its deleterious effect on the lungs, are numerous. In Lancashire an 4. Yorkshire, the pestiferous effect on vegetation forces itself en the observation. 'frees and plants are poisoned by the vomitings of the tall chimneys. They turn sickly, shrivel, and die, exhibiting most forlorn emblems of the ' sufferings of humanity amid these pestiferous exhala tions. The breathing apparatus of the human frame is not less delicate in its structure than that of leaf and blossom, fine as these are. Many of cur towns have an atmosphere not to be inhaled with impunity. The abundance of smoke occasions also, by its actions on the density of the air, that of moisture. Damp and disease are near relations. ----- Amongst other alterations, I will only just notice the suppression of a vexatious clause, requiring plans of all intended public buildings, courts, chapels, schools, factories, &c., to be prevtousi y sub mitted for the sanction of the Board; the restora tion of the power of the Local Boards to provide adequate supplies of water; and the requirement of open contracts for works done under the Act. As a questionable change, or one of an opposite character, I may notice the suppression of the clause which allows the sanitary rate to be remitted on the ground of poverty in the occupier or the party liable. Why should a measure of peculiar beneficence be accompanied by this peculiar severity? The poor-rates are a heavy burden on the poor. They descend much too low on the scale of rents. Often are the contributors more in a condition to be recipients. Often are they actually pressed down into that condition. Enforcement of the relief of pau perism transforms poverty into pauperism. Remission, entire or partial, is continually found to be necessary, and is actually conceded; and the last case of all to make exceptional is, surely, that in which the rate goes, not to feed the hungry, but to promote the general health, comfort, and well-being of the community, rich as well as poor. It only remains to observe how the Lords have dealt with the subject of burials. The Commons gave it up, in despair, after rejecting propositions for free Cemete ries on the one hand, and on the other a new scheme for new Churchyards, to be bought by rates, levied on all classes, and vested as a freehold in the clergyman. The Bishops have very much bettered the instruction. The provision is really made on a liberal principle. On the closing of burial-grounds, so full as to threaten injury to the health of the neighbourhood, " the Local Board may, subject to the approval of the General Board, pro cure some convenient place wherein interments may take place, on conditions to be settled by the said General Board, and (so far as relates to the interment of persons belonging to the Church of England) approved by the . Lord Bishop of the Diocese." Lord Morpeth promises, in the next session, a Bill to prohibit intramural interment altogether. Meanwhile, the worst of the evil will, if the Government and the Commons permit, be unexception ably met by the above arrangement. It saves the rights of Dissenters, and leaves the clergy and rt.he.Churelici people in the hands of that Spiritual au thorit y to which they profess allegiance. p int m Occasions en t a r foro of the s u c h c expression onti nua ofl occurrencecensure an t h d a d t s i a t p i s very pleasant to record these inst ances of real and judi cious improvement; to have to praise thellous.eopfoLrotarndts i fur them; and to find them nso needful and m a measure as that which ,rill now soon become the law of the land. Around this bright page there aro but too many dark ones. The failure will be lamentable, should, as there is reason to fear, Ministers allow some of these important amendments to evaporate as mere 1) go od intentions. And th is is, alter all, only a means for the alleviation of m iseries of our own creation. Still, they were created unconsciously; in disregard, it may be, but not in hostility, to human health and happines s; a nd their removal or alleviation is the work of scie nce and legislation consciously, diligently, and philanthro pically directed towards their noblest ends.

THE FLEET AT CORK.—The Cork Constitution, speaking of the movements in Cove on Tuesday, says-- "Rear Admiral Mackay did not receive the orders to send up the blue jackets and marines from the fleet in Cove until four o'clock on Tuesday morning. The ad rmarching i n agt iniral immediately proceeded in a barge to the St. Vin cent, 120, and communicated the order to hear Admiral Sir Charles Napier. The other ships were instantly signalled, and in an incredibly sh ort s p ace of time the gun boats and barges were seen fall in g from th e sides of all the ships of war, and the seam en were im mediately in them with heavy field pieces, muskets, pistols, cut. lasses, boarding pikes, and a day's provisions for eac h man. Four steamers were at this t ime acti vely getting up their steam, as time would have been los t in rowing up the boats against a heavy head ga le of win d and strong ebb-tide.

DAY MORNING. he fine steam-ship Niagara, Captain Ryrie, reached this port at five o'clock this morning, com pleting another extraordinary passage across the At laitic of ten days and seventeen hours, including her stay at Halifax. The Niagara left Boston on Wed nesday, July 26, and Halifax on the 28th, and brings upwards of fifty passengers. The steam-ship Hibernia arrived at New York on the 21st ; the United States steamer, from Havre, at New York, on the 25th ; the Europa, from Liverpool, with the mails of the 15th of July, was met by the Niagara off Boston. Congress continued the discussion of the territorial ' Bill relating to Oregon, and the ceded Mexican lands. The Bill reported by a Special Committee of the Senate as being calculated to meet the existing differences of parties in Congress on the subject, leaves to the Legislature to be chosen in Oregon th.e power of sanctioning the introduction of slavery. For the southern territories, however, the Bill proposes that the Governor and judicial officers shall be ap pointed by the executive at Washington, under the sanction of the Senate, that, being Government officers, they shall in no way interfere with the slavery question. The Courier and inquirer, of New York, referring to the intentions of the Bill, says— " The effect of these arrangements and prohibitions, if adopted by Congress, would be to lea ve t h ese two t,er ritories open to the settlement of slave masters with their slaves, and to the Courts of Law, constituted by the. Pre sident and Senate of the United States (both now in the interests of slavery), the faculty of deciding whether slaves thus carried to New Mexico and California are to be rightfully held in slavery, with an appeal from the decisions of those Courts to the Supreme Court of the United States. " The sure result of this arrrangement, if sustained by Congress, will be to plant slavery in portions of the country acquired from Mexico, where before it was for bidden, and against such a use of the fruits of victory. by a free people, all freemen everywhere, unless misle by personal interest, must revolt. Yet we fear the deed will be done." . , Matiy conflicting reports were received from Mexico respecting the proceedings of Paredes and the progress of the movement against the existing Go. vernment, but the general opinion seemed to be that he would be unsuccessful, as neither the people nor many of the soldiers were inclined to espouse his cause. From Canada there is no important news. The provincial Government were about issuing deben tures in amount of five pounds and two pounds ten shillings each, payable one year after date with in terest. This currency will be received in payment of all public dues, but no interest would be allowed on the bills till they had matured, as at the custom houses or elsewhere they will be received at the value on their face without interest. The wheat crop is described as being most flourishing in every district of the province. COMMERCIAL NE WS. In New York business generally is reported dull, and would continue so until the close of the warm weather, and the commencement of the fall trade. Money was scarce, however, and considerable anxiety existed as to what course foreign exchanges WAS likely to take, the continued extensive imports from Europe, and the absence of a demand for bread-stuffs aggravated by the low price of cotton, warranting the belief that a rise of the rate above the " exporting of specie point" would take place. The bills drawn against the new loan will, however, most likely keep the market down. Exchange on London was 1091 to 110, and occasionally 10*, but the last rate barely maintained. Treasury Notes, Six per Cents., were 104. The Cotton Markets in New York have become firm, a good business had been done, and the advices, received by the Hibernia had the effect of advancing the prices of the lower descriptions i f c. The receipts at all the ports since the Ist of September were 2,240,000 bales, of which 1,205,000 had gone to Great Britain. The last week's shipments to Eng land were 15,000 bales. The price of flour had de clined-4 dollars 75 cents.being the rate for common and good brands, 5 dollars 12i cents. for superfine. There was none shipping for Europe. The wheat ,crop was represented quite an average one, some ac reounts * say ing even more. Indian corn was 52c. to 4c. reights remained unaltered. - _ A FEMALE KLLLED BY BER llllSBAND.—Yesterday afternoon the neighbourhood of Cowheel-alley, White seross-strect, St. Luke's, was thrown ir to a state of con oyderable excitement in consequence of the. following , ccurrence :—lt appeao, Mat liman, named Wm. Mer rick, had been for some tinitievast residing with his wife, named Amelia Merrck. in Maideehead-court, Alden gate•strcef. Owing to their manner of living, they tre vently quarrelled, and about two o'clock yesterday af ternoon Merrick met his unfortunate wife in Cowheel- Vey, and inquired the reason of her not being at home cooking his dinner, he gave her a violent blow under the left ear, which knocked her to the ground. In falling her head came in contact with the palings facing one of the tenements in the court. The poor woman, after making two or three convulsive straggles, was noticed to turn perfectly black in the face. She was immedi ately carried into one of the adjoining houses, and a siirgt on was sent fur, who upon his arrival pronounced life extinct. The body was therefore placed in a shell aid conveyed to St. Luke's workhouse. The husband, who obtained a living by jobbing at the Post office. was taken into custody by an officer of the G division. and removed to Featherstone-street station-house. The deceased was about 45 years of age ; and the prisoner is about the same age. Since his incarceration in the station-house he has refused to take any sort of food, and appears to lament over the untimely end of his wife. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston entertained his Serene Highness Prince Lowenstein, the Earl and Countess of Minto, and Lady Elizabeth Elliott, the Countess of Lichfield, and Lady Harriet Anson, the Countess Dowager of Morley, Viscount Morpeth, Lord Howden, Lord Holland, Lady Ashley, Hon. William Temple, Hon. William F. Cowper, Hon.,Henry Howard, Sir George Shee, and a distinguished circle at dinner on Saturday evening, at their residence in Carlton gardens. There was an assembly held by her Ladyship after dinner. Rear-Admiral Sir Francis A. Collier, C. 8., com mander in chief of the East Indies, arrived at Suez on the 10th ultimo, on his way to Singapore. The gallant officer had been seriously ill on board the Oriental steam ship, from an attack of !looping cough. On his arrival at Alexandria his Highness Ibrahim Pacha generously lent Sir Francis his carriage, with six horses, to carry him across the desert. The latest accounts describe the Admiral as very much better. On his (Sir Francis's) arrival at Singapore, which was expected to be by the latter end of this month, it is his intention to hoist his flag on board the Melampus.—United Service Gazette.

Thus may be considered as ended one of the severest, most obstinately contested, sod most expensive contests of the present session. it is estimated that this contest will have cost the Great Western Company nearly, or quite, 300,0001., and the ..I‘vveerset,ew;ne u s u e d h e e r m st er d A , th c re o e m t m o I t t w te o e in o f f av t o h u e r tLt r b ds e South-Wester n no t much short of 250,0001. The Com mitteeu tl has also decided to permit the narrow gauge to be laid down by the Midland, from Stonehouse to Bristol, by the side of the Great Western broad gauge. This will complete the narrow gauge all the way from Bistol to every part of the north of England. As the South- Western will have a narrow gauge to Exeter, there only remains the Bristol and Exeter link to complete the entire chain of narrow gauge from the west to every part of the kingdom. As soon is the lease is out, that line, of course, will be put on the narrow gauge.— IVes:ern Tinges. • Viscount Beresford, we are happy to learnrja_re covering from his recent severe indibposition.
