To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local institutionr3 which have this object in view. To brin g to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legiti.rnately telong to them alone, 10 aid the police and the M endicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to tee t are of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing e-4/) writable associations those cases for which their several histitutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the el ergy—ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the Judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist 'them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise 'Worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they , advance, with the solo purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all chatitard e associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having confoined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the ent'Lre ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

There have already- been three Divisions'of Profits, and the Bonuses di vided have averaged nearly Two per cent. per annum on the sums assured, or from 30 to 100 per cent. on the Premiums paid, without imparting to the recipients the risk of co-part nership, as is the case ha Mutual Societies. To show more clearly what these (Bonuses amount to, the three following cases are put forth as examples— Sum Insured. Bonuses added, Amountpayable up to Dec. 1851 £5,000 £1,987 : 10 £6,987 ; 10 1,000 397 :,10 1,397 :31.7.4 100 39 : 15 139:15 Notwithstanding these large adeitions, the Premiums ar. on the lowest scale compatible with security for the payment of the Policy when death arises ; in addition to which ad vantages. one-half of the Premiums may, if desired, for the term of live years, remain unpaid at 5 per cent.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who arc subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Deo.

We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offeredrfor the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

The recentra new problem which changeintb elalv of Separ a tion the i n g a e n n d ui D ty iv o o f rce soc h i n al raised u philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic ti it so many 9 8,appears unaccountable that marriages, eOnt meted ender circumstances apparently auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock had passionately loved each other. If the inq u i rers into the cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theori. es, they might probably have had less difficulty in prriting at the truth. Rave they ever sufficiently considered how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school, and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by medical men poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state. It. is a mat.t,, that deeply concerns the well-being of thou- Ss , uln who have no idea of the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there be not something in his past life which admits of the possi bility that be himself may be concerned, either at present or prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means of relief • but it is important that care be taken in selecting the quar ter from whence assistance's sought.
