" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet 'friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe manatee:net-it the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities. " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy. and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet. The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas I for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Man'y Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the enneeqiiences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral coura g e. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how tlie . atienuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind amfbody.' —New Bell's Weekly Messenger. "Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe g merally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtle,sly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the important branch of e t n i , n h e a o rr f o t \ h s i i s ts ,b , " y k et correct di sp l ays of the suffering consequent upon unbridle ' eye) an entire devotedne s to a deeply is hi ghly moral, and it abounds study. The dy el-w T r h it e t unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent I blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi -1 dently the production of a mind long ant practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization. "—M a gnet The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad dre sed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

The following is the PROSPECTUS already published : Experience has established the value and importance of Life Assurance to all classes of thd,community ; and the prosperity attending the in s tit u ti ons o f t his nature, which have already been foundCd, i ncontest ibl y proves the soundness of the princi ples m3u übtpe eitherorns the entirely • systemh t the c e l i e i otpoms providing calculation ur i . a a eon r nrc e eeor.fa greatly based. roeawas e t al v yff e orerndval uable enlarging e the tmoetarhene-s sources of their families after death, may yet be regarded as more immediately and especially beneficial to those persons who are wholly dependent upon their Own exertions for sup. port, or who have only a life-interest in the property they pos sess. It is valuable also, inasmuch as it enables individuals with fixed incomes, (from whatever source derived, whether from Government or other situations, or from pensions or an nuities for lives), to perpetuate them to their representatives —offers entire indemnity to credit Ors against loss by the demise of debtors—secures the continti ante of leases determinable upon lives, and renewable by fine—attaches responsibility to personal security, thereby assisting individuals to obtain such temporary aid, by way of loan, as may be necessary for conducting their business, or the fulfilment of. their engagements—anticipating, and altogether providing agairist the inconvenience and injury often occasioned by the with! trawal of capital from business on the death of a partner. Ins nort, it is availabl e t o p e rsons in every profession, trade, offices, and circumstance; and, under all the modifications, and con: ta,ntly occurring varieties of con tingent interests, dependent upcm the duration of life. Nevertheless, strange te'siy, ,but very few persons have hi therto availed themSelves,cf the inestimable benefits which Life Assurance is so well adapted t o bestow—their number being only about 88,000 out of the vast population of the United Kingdom. It is, therefore,leiident that an ample field remains open for the exertions of a new Company of a similar charac ter. Moreover, it must be . evident that if such Company can, irrespective of the advantag ss usually proffered by the Societies already established, and wi .thout risk to the interests either of the Proprietors or of the Ai ssured, propose other benefits highly useful and important to 14 oth, it must safely and successfully enter into competition wit n the existing Institutions with full cerfidence in the support's sf the public. Of the large profits whi ch have been derived by the Share nolders in some of the pri; ?cipal Assurance Companies, an idea may be formed by the perusal of the following short 'fable, which has been compiled 'from the most authentic sources; and, from tit's, it must be manifest, that a Corepany which, in addition to the ordinary I ;u:iness of Life Assurance, embraces also the , business of a Loa 4) Bank to the Assured, will, if ably conducted, offer to the Cal sitalist a secure and productive in vestment, without trouble c r the danger of pecuniary loss. / . . .

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselcas, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source agd origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. - To quote passages from the work in preof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able:—Magnet. The pertisal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, stmh as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral is well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Compapy are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/., without which, no ootice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases the most inviolable secresy may be relied on.

It is, in fact, now living from ten go, before their receipt. The Porte is restoring the system out the revenue of its provinces to the highest bidder. if this is continued, it will renew the necessity of making use of the infamous and unprincipled Armenian bankers, and the always ill-used influence of money in the affairs of Government. New taxes are to be levied on houses in the capital, which will be a new source of revenue heretofore unexplored. The Smyrna journals of the day will inform you that the Druses and Maronites have broken out in open hos tilities, and are slaying each other with dreadful cruelty. 'The Porte seems not to be much concerned about the matter, and even the Governor of Beyrout, Selim Pach2, does not care to interfere and .stop the effusion of the blood of - the Sultan's subjects. It need not be told you that Syria at this moment is a prey to an anarchy of the worst kind, viz., that which is caused by religious in trigues. :Numberless French Jesuit priests have been landed on the ill-fated shores of the once Holy Land, and, in their anxiety to convert their inhabitants to Polery, have induced the Patriarch of the Maronites (who are Catholics) to exert his influence over the secular chief of the Maronites, and ineluce him to com pel the Druses, a people half Mussulman half Chris tian, but under his authority, to become members of their church. The two tribes have not been friends for many years, and this religious persecution has added new fuel to the fire of discord. It is said that the Patriarch rides side by side with the Emir, and excites him and his people to exterminate the infidel Druses. A. petition has been sent to the Porte by the Druses, beg ging they may be taken from under the juri2diction of the Maronites, and form a separate and independent tribe. Their numbers are much less than those of the Maronites, but thus far each Druse has proved a match for two of them ; and if something is not soon done to stop the war now raging between them the Maronites will be exterminated. The old Emir I3eschir is still here and although it is reported that he is to be restored to his principality it will not probably be done. His cause is supported by the French and Austrian embas sies, and the Catholics of this capital are warmly in favour of the Maronites. If the Porte consults its own interests, is not biassed by these two embassies, and is really desirous of procuring the tranquillity of its Sy• rian subjects, it will do what nature suggests as th e only rational method of doing so—allow the separation of the conflicting tribes and give a Chief to that of the Druses. The new Opera established in Pera has commenced operations, and has quite gained the hearts of the Pera otes, most of whom have grown up in ignorance of a drama of any kind. S. everal representations of the opera of Norma have been made, and though none of the best, yet they really do credit to such strolling actors as these. The theatre has been fitted up with good taste, and each chief of a legation has taken a loge for the season. Tho night before last the circus erected some time ago in the Grand Champs des Morts by their Excellencies Redshid and Achmet Pashas took fire, and was burnt down, much to the gratification .of the more devoted Mussulmans; who regarded it as the work of a certain nameless Coloured gentleman. It was, however, generally pretty well patronised by the lower classes of both Mussulmans and Christians. GREECE. ATHENS, Nov. 30.—France having granted the long talked- of million, everything for the moment is French. that is to say, the Government, for I believe never was the French interest so _low throughout the country generally as at the present moment. The French ha% e done everything to make themselves unpopular in Greece. M. Guizot's circular will not easily be forgiven by them, and M. Piscatory's conduct in Greece will long be a source of ridicule to the Greeks. The public papers have accused France of trying to upset the present Go vernment in favour of the Duke de Nemours, and yet supporting the Bavarians in Greece. They call upon France to come forward and frankly say what she is aim ing at, if anything, for the happiness of Greece ; then she may be cordially embraced as a friend, but her half measures will do her no good, and keep Greece conti nually in hot water. The Turkish quz:stion and the threatened Turkish ex pedition against Greece seriously occupy the thinking part of our community, but the Government shows the greatest apathy about leaving them all to its friends, the three protecting Powers. We are anxious to see whe ther France will play her usual noble game with Greece, as with Mehemet Ali, Spain, Poland, Italy, &c. The position of poor King Otho certainly seems very preca rious, and nothing will persuade the Gieeks now that the Powers intend any good towards him ; for England, Russia, and Austria are by nb means friendly to his pre sent Government, and they strongly suspect that France hassome arriere pensee, from her conduct towards Greece. Our diplomatic circles have certainly taken every op portunity of expressing their opinion of the present Government. The Austrian Minister gave his first soiree for the season a few evenings ago, and he took especial care not to invite any of his Majesty's Ministers. Their absence was so much the more striking, as Mavrocordato was there with a whole host of his relations, and all the world was there, except King Otho's Ministers. M. Catacazi, the Russian Minister, gave his first grand di plomatic dinner, at which none of the Ministers were to be seen. The , other foreign Ministers keep to their strict official communications with them, which naturally leaves them to cut ; a poor figure before the public. Of course things cannot last long in such a state. There is a report that Sir Stratford Canning will take Greece on his way to Constantinople ; if so he may be of great use to this unfortunate country ; at all events, his arrival is anxiously desired by all parties. The next thing of importance is the bank; there have been two meetings held, but as yet nothing has been done. The first meeting was taken up in choosing a provisional committee, and the second in examining the offers, or rather demands, for shares ; great are the intrigues for the places of directors and members of the council. The French lega tion takes the lead in it for the moment, having got the Go vernment to name ayoung lawyer, named Petsalis,the editor of a paper in the French interest, as Government agent, but of course everything is provisional up to the present. To increase French influence they are very active in spreading the report that France will advance the re mainder of the third series, which, however, will not be so much as people imagine , as, when interests &c., be deducted, it will be under 2,000,000 f. ; and it must not be forgotten that, on the Ist of January, 1842, Greece has to pay 1,500,000 f., advanced by Bavaria, and on the Ist of March, 1812; 2,000,000 f. for the interest on the loan guaranteed by England and Russia. Belgium has sent a lot of crosses of the order of Leo pold for the present and ci decant Ministers for Foreign Affairs, Messrs. Paikos and Rizos. Coletti at Paris gets the cross of Grand Commander, the others are for sub alterns in office and the Court. The Turks have demanded the recal of the Greek con sul in Candle, and have obliged the Greeks to quit Ja nina and Prevesa, and they are performing quarantine on the frontier. This seems a prelude to hostilities. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 26.—We are without further par ticulars from Syria. Travellers come back with fever, and complain of interruptions on the route. • They were saluted with a quarantine on entering Egypt, though we have cases of plague even in Alexan dria ; much fever still prevalent in this city. Some travellers come by laud from Syria, and had - a tong quarantine near Damietta, in a bad locality, and with bad accommodations ; the consequence was illness, the plac e being feverish, and one of the party died afterviards at Cairo. There is no end to absurdities in this country, under pretence of quarantine ; and the worst of it i s our new Consul-General does not protest stoutly againsts them.

At a late hour last night the Court-Martial declared that the c h arge b roug ht by the boy of the Savage av a • pat Lieut. Bowker was unfounded and mali cious, and condemned him to be dismissed from the navy after receiving two dozen lashes, and to be imprisoned for nine months. • (From the Malta Chronicle of the 3d inst.) At an early hour on Wednesday the whole of her Ma jesty's Ships were dressed out in flags, and the union jack waved from the various staffs on the batteries aed the public offices. Most of the private dwelling-houses in Valetta .11011 ed the note of preparation for an illumi nation in honour of the birth of the Prince of Wales. The lighting Hp commenced about half-past six P.M., when the inainguard Presented a most brilliant spectacle. The columns were covered with serpen tine lines of variegated lamps, surmounted by " Victoria," in large capitals, above which also ap peared the " Regent's Plume" formed also of lamps; the offices attached to the guard, and also the Casino to the right of it, were splendidly lit up ; over the door of the Casino were the words, "Prince of Wales," surmounted by a vessel under sail decorated with lamps, emblemati cal of the commerce of -England. • The front of the Public Library was also very prettily ornamented with 1 unps of all colours ; the colonnade to the left had the ORNING SUN. --' w' rds, " Viva it Principe Infante," in large capitals, formed with variegated lamps. This had a beautiful effect. Adjoining the colonnade, and extending across the street to the Post-office;some loyal and patriotic individuals had erected a triumphal arch, ornamented with at least two thousand lamps, surmounted with an inscription commemorating the auspicious event. St. John's Church was more fully illuminated than ever we remember to have seen it, even on St. John ' s day. It presented a perfect blaze of li g h t ; t h e - Court-house opposite was also well lit up. The top of the palace was covered with lamps, and over th e entrance doors were clusters of variegat e d lamps with the letters V. A. Many houses were very handsomely and bril liantly illuminated, and upon the whole it was, perhaps, one of the very best things of the sort it ever fell to our lot to witness. We had yet a sight in reserve, which, to the heart of an Englishman, was the most soul-stirring sight of the whole. At five minutes to eight a signal rocket was thrown up by one her Majesty's ships, and at eight precisely, the Howe, the flag-ship, fired the first gun of a Royal salute. Scarcely had the sound reached our ears when we beheld the whole of the squadron in an instantaneous blaze of light, from yard-arm to yard arm, from truck to hammock netting, nothing was to be seen but burning port-fires. This lasted during the sa lute of 21 guns, wh, n the lights burnt out, and left only the stern of that. noble ship the Rowe brilliantly illu minated. At ten the company began to arrive at the Palace, naval and military in full dress, and assuredly a more brilliant spectacle was never seen. Never within our recollection did Malta put forth such an assemblage of beauty and fashion. Pancing commenced at 10. 30. and was kept - up until three, whm nearly all had de parted, highly delighted with the urbanity of their molt excellent host, a better man than whom Malta never could boast ; let us hope he may be spared to us yet many, many years, as one who has sincerely at heart the welfare of England, and the interest of this community at large. The triumphal arch in Strada Reale, and the lamps in the were again relighted on Thurs day night, whet a band played near it until a late hour, amidst the joyous shouts of a large assembly of spec tators." • The Malta Times of the sth says— ""This morning was solemnised at St. John's church a grand Te Dews in thanksgiving for the birth of the Prince of Wales, the Bishop presiding,• which was at tended by his Excellency the Governor, the Adtniral, several heads of departments, the - members of the Coun cil, and a great yoneourse_o! people." MALTA SHIPPIgG.NEWS. MALTA Nov. 30.--AN AFFAIR OF 'HONOUR.--All English Officer and a French commander of a steamer were about to fight a duel, but the thing having got wind the police, we imagine, interfered, and the affair, we are happy to say, termin a t e d am i ca bl y w i t h out the shedding of blood. There is a strong probability that four line of battle ships have been dispatched to China from station ;it is said also that the Vernon, arrived yesterday from Corfu, is to join them. These vessels however, might wait at Gibraltar till the nex t India mail; when important news may be expected. The Hecate, it is said, will take pratique. The Thun derer and Stout are on the coast of Syria. The Gorgob is at Alexandria. The Medea left on the morning of the 28th inst. for Corfu, and, it is said, she will continue on that station. The Circassian yacht arrived on Saturday (Captain W. Lyon) from Malaga and Gibraltar, bringing Vis count Castlereagh. MALTA, DEC. s.—The four ships of the line, which the Vernon is about to follow, and will leave here about Wednesday, are supposed to be gone to the coast of Spain. SAILORS' UNION.—We are happy to announce that Sir Francis Mason, Commander-in-Chief, has given his high patronage to this proposed establishment. Nearly all the ships have subscribed to it, and it will soon, we un derstand, be opened. ARRIVALS OF SHIPS OF WAR AND PACKETS.—NOV. 26 —The Royal yacht schooner Circassian, Captain W.

IRELAND. RAILWAYS IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, DEC. 17.—Ilis Excellency the Lord Lieute nant has addressed a short reply, throngh the Earl of Bandon, acknowledging the memorial on the subject of a railway between Cork and Dublin. The Noble Earl observes, " That without entering at the present moment into the extensive and difficult subject of the question at large, his Excellency begs Lord Bandon will inform the gentlemen who took an interest on the occasion, that he had received their memorial, and that he will bear in mind their suggestions whenever the occasion may arise." PROVINCIAL COLLEGES IN IRELAND. A very long document has made its appearance in the Cork papers in r.ference to the establishment of provin cial colleges in Ireland, to be founded upon the principle of giving " industrial education" to the sons of the landed gentry, in order the better to work out the objects for which so many agricultural societies have been so re cently for Med in this country. This production is written by Mr. Taomas Wyse, late Member for the city of Waterford and a Lord of the Treasury, who states that his propeSal had received the sanction of tl:e Whig Go vernment, and that the question would have been brought before Parliament a s a C a bi net measure " if the Liberal Ministry had not been obliged to resign." Mr. Wyse also mentions that Lord Morpeth has ex-officially trans mitted the documents connected with these proceedings to his successor, Lord Eliot, in whose possession they now are. LAW COURTS' COMMISSION. The Commissi,mers held their first sitting yesterday in the Nisi Prius Chamber; Mr. Sergeant Greene, Chair man. It will be necessary, it is reported, according to the wording of the Commission, that the inquiry should terminate before the close of the present year. The Mer cantil! Advertiser says that witnesses will be examined respecting the duties of the various officers, one of the objects being to ascertain the extent of saving that can be effected in the way - of salaries pail out of the law fund.
