Matriculated Member of the University of !Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their Invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fea r o f a p p l y i ng to a qualified physi relief. Shame and the d rea d so frequently, but erro ncieaonnsflyorentertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA WERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his ..iplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice fer many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The French Ministry is considered to fie tottering to its fall.in consequence of the check which it has received on the law regulating the appointment of mayors. Another check is also in store for it—the Ultra-Legitimatists, the Larochejaquelins, and Dc Nettements have determined to throw out the Minis terial law regulating the press, as they have already postponed the Bill regulate og the appointment of mayors, and they are deaf to the voice of the charmer BEARY,ER, who calls on them in vain to make conces sions. They are, moreover, in high spirits just at present in consequence of a report which is rife in the salons of Paris that the Duchess of BORDEAUX is likely,to present to France AM heir to the legitimate throne—thus destroying all the chances of the Comte ,DE PARIS. This split among the Monarchists will throw the command of the majority into the hands of the tiers-para, and it is not impro bable but that an attempt will be made to form a tiers-parti Ministry. • The Monitcur contains a decree from the PRESI DENT of the Republic, declaring that as JEAN PRUTOT, an agricultural labourer in the department of the Aise, has been employed for fifty years on the same farm, and has, during that period, given numerous proofs of rare disinterestedness,: and performed many acts of devotedness, the head of the state has thought fit to nominate him-Knight of the Legion of s llonour. - A grand dinner was gi ven a t th e Elysee , _ on Satur day, to the Marquis of liosattsnr. General Ds LAHITTE was present. The Moniteur publishes the return of the average price of wheat in the various departments of France. The highest average is 15f. 4c. the hectolitre in Tou louse, • Gray, .Lyons, and Marseilles. The lowest average is 12f. 30e. in Met; Verdub, Charleville, and ,Soissons. • A duel was fought at Versailles on Sunday morn ing between M. VALENTIN, Socialist, representative for the Haut Rhin, and M. CLARY, also a repre sentative, and a l relative of , the PRESIDENT of the Re public. The weapon was the sword. M. VALENTIN was severely, but not dangerously, wounded in the thigh. General DE GRAMMONT and M. C. AMIE acted as the friends of I. CLART, and MM. SciicEL CHER and BRUCKNER of M. VATAINTIN. The new law on the press has been presented to the Assembly. It enacts the deposit of caution money, the payment of fines imposed by the authorities within three days on pain of suspension of the pub lication of the paper, and the revival of the stump. The Gazette de France says that the Legitimatists will oppose the Bill. The Presse has the following on the division in the Commons on Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion:— " We rejoice at the vote, I:Wcau:re we are convinced that the triumph of the Tories in the present state of Europe would have had the most fatal consequences for the principles of liberty and independence, especially in the little states . The well-known names and projects of those who placed themselves at the head of the plot against Lord Palmerston have in this respect a signi fication which no one mistakes. Under these circum stances, public opinion has eXpreased itself with ad mirable instinct in Germany, Potrtugsl, Spain, Italy, the Levant, and wherever it was understood what was at the bottom of this question, which was so cleverly exaggerated and entangled. Tho 'vote of the House of Lords accordingly caused veritable consternation in all countries. Fortuoately, there is in England public opi nion and moral interests, with which the Parliament must always count. This opinion .and these interests, which are the heart and life of the English people, have on this occasion been the safegneird of Liberal Europe. The hostile vote of the House of Lord% which was in tended to be the coup de grace of the Ministry, is nose reduced to a pure and simple act of courtesy towards Russia and Austria." The Credit says— " This result is of the greatest importance, not only for England, whose old aristocracy receives a lesson which it will certainly have the good sense to under stand, hut also for the powers of the continent, and particularly for France, where the aristocracies have al ways shown themselves more rebellious than in England to the lessons of public opinion."

We have advicesfrona Copenhagen to the 26th ult. The secret sitting of the Reichstag tool' place on the 24th. The promised Ministerial communication was made with respect to the present position of the ne gotiations with Germany and the.Duc!les, and the future plans of the Government... The nature : of the Communication appears to be, tht the Dania) Go vernment has forwarded its .ultimatum to Berlin, requiring either a separate peace with Prussia, or to put in force the first of the secret articlea appended to the armistice of July, 1849. The. Duchies are then to be subjected by force of arms, if necessary ; and, on peace being restored, the KILT of DENmAna. will appoint an equal number of Dulles, Sehieswigcrs, and Holsteiners, to draw,vp u plan for the final adjustment of the relations of the ; Duchies to Denman'. The Ministry are said to have added, that they have been acting until now with the advice and support of Russia and England. A long end violent debate is stated to have ensued. The plans of the Ministry and their previous con duct were violently assailed by members of the Right and Left, but terminated without any decision being come to. Another secret sitting was to take place on the 28th inst., when an interpellation was to be made by CHRISTENSEN, with the view of obtaining further explanations from the Ministry. Some ex pectations appear to be entertained that the Reich stag will be dissolved. The Ministry are very ,se verely blamed for having broken off the 41irEct negotiations with the men of confidence from the Duchies. LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 1.

Madrid journals of the 26th ult. have arrived. The Gaeta publishes an extract from the last dis patch of the Governor of Cuba, stating that after the re-embarking of Lorries expedition the greatest tranquillity prevailed. 'Tae investigation into the charges against the persons arrested in the expedi tion was proceeding; and, according to a letter, the demand of the United States Government would have no effect until after the trial. The Espana states that the Government has ordered two additional war-steamers, of 500 horse-power, to be constructed in England, to be sent to Chiba. General NAEXAEZ had visited several barrackc.and been received with great enthusiasm by the triwps. GERMANY. Thl Prussian Skulls Anzeiger of the 28th ult. publishes a semi-official article relative to the resolu tions of the Government in regard to the projected modifications in the Zollverein tariff, which it is in tended to prepare and introduce at the approaching Congress of delegates to be held in a few days at Cassel. The article states that the Government can not consider the opinions uttered at the recent con ferences of commercial or agricultural delegates at this place as the opinions of the community at large, but as those of special interests and branches of in dustry; and, therefore, however disposed to pay de ference to their opinions upon local or special points, it must adopt its own course as to the general ap plication. It therefore declares, lst. That in de spite of the unanimous opposition of the agricul tural commission, it shall insist upon the reduction of duties on grain, butter, cattle, fire-wood, and tallow (the latter will favour the Russian trade). 2d. That it shall reduce the tariff on rice, shelled and unshelled, to 11 dollar respectively, in accord with the opinion of the commercial and against the opinion of the agricultural boards. 3d. That it shall restrict the duties per cwt. on flax, hemp, tow, ex., to son the same grounds. 4th. In order to give protection to the spinners, it has been decided to raise the duties on cotton twists, yarns, worsteds, raw silk, and sundry articles manufactured therefrom, and to establish the system of dravvbacics as a transi tory measure, and this with the approbation of the commercial, but against the votes of the agricultural hoards. sth. The duties on cigars and mat,ufacturecl tobacco is also to be raised to 25 dollirs, and that on uncut rough glass to 3 dollars 1-3. Theintencied modifications in the transit duties are likewise to be maintained. No mention is made of coal or iron, so it is to be supposed the tariff will remain unchanged upon these articles. The Chamber of Wirtemburg, in their sitting of the 28th ult., voted the impeachment of the Ministry by a majority of 50 to 11. HOLLAND.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 28.—The official journal of thia day publishes the' convention between the King of the BELGIANS and the King of PRUSSIA concerning the establishment of international communication by means of electric telegraphs, dated May 16, 18.0. It appears, from articles of this treaty, that electric telegraphs are to be established and kept up, be tween Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp, and Ostend, via Aix-la-Chapelle. The Brussels line is to be extended to a point of the Belgic-French frontiers, where the Belgic line is to join that of France. The whole of the telegraphic lines are to be laid down at the mutual expense of the two Governments. For the telegraphic service the railway station at Verviers is to be cousidered the frontier station be tween the two countries. RUSSIA. It is said that the Emperor NICUOLAS intends on be Ist of December to abdicate, in favour of his son :he Grand Duke ALexaNDEB. ITALY. Accounts from Turin, of the 26th ult., state that the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, on the Bill empowering the Government to contract a new loan of 100 millions of francs, by the emission of 6 millions of Rentes, has given in its report. The re port is favourable to the measure. The Concordia says that the favourable character of the report is a circumstance of greater importance than it at first appears, because is shows that the Gauche has given the measure its support. Tne Church party had strongly opposed :he Bill, and had hoped th,,t the ultra-Liberals would have coalesced with them. Ba the Liberals, on finding that the sole object of the Church party was to upset the Marquis D'AzEoLL) and his Cabinet, refused to oppose the measure. The first conference had taken place et Naples bet ween'the Commission appointed to investigate the claims of foreign merchants for losses sustained during the bombardment of Messina, and the representa tives of their respective Governments. According to a letter from Bologna of the 23d ult. in the Opinionc of Turin, the Austrian military autho rities in the former town had entered into a negotic.- tion with an Englishman for the cession of a large piece of land, called the Caprone, outside the Porta San Felice, which they intended to use as a ground for military manoeuvre; but the price not having yet been agreed on, the Austrian commandant had ap plied, notwithstanding, to the Government for per mission to occupy the land, which was granted, and men were sent to cut down the trees, and level the ground. The proprietor, who was at Turin at the time, has protested against such arbitrary proceed ings, and a courier has arrived at Bologna with orders from Vienna to stop the works immediately, the British ambassador having made representations on the subject. The Concordia of Turin of the 26th ult., devotes a leader to the question of quarantines, which is not without interest from the facts it contains. Ever since the French Government directed that all sani tary regulations hitherto observed with respect to ships coming from infected places, should cease in the port of Marseilles, the Piedmontese Government has found it difficult to enforce its own sanitary regula tions. In consequence of the yellow fever that pre vails in Brazil the arrivals from Marseilles have been subjected to quarantine throughout the Piedmontese coast ; but the masters of French vessels have found means of evading the measure. They land their pas sengers at Cannes, close to the frontier, from whence carriages take them to Mizza, where they find a re gular line of French packets to take them to Genoa and the other ports of Italy, so that merchandize alone, in fact, is subject to quarantine. The Risorgimento of Turin of 26th ult. gives an ac count of the new Piedmontese steam-frigate Go vernolo, just arrived at Genoa from London, where she was built under the direction of Captain Ricci, and Engineer MATTEI, expressly sent to London for the purpose by the Piedmontese Government. She is of 1,401 tons admeasurement, '213 feet in length, by 36k in breadth, and 23 in depth. She carries ten guns, besides two heavy swivel guns, which have been tried in the waters of La Spezia, and found to answer perfectly at a distance of 6,000 feet. _ _ The Constituzionale of Florence of the 23d ult. states from Ancona, that the Holy Office has com menced proceedings against all the persons who have been pointed out as having expressed irreligious opinions during the revolution. • [ADvErnsEmENT.]--Bell's Life in London.—The very extensive publication of Bell's Life commences at No. 170, Strand, before Five o'clock every Saturday morning (as early as the daily morning journals), and in time tor all the Saturday morning mails mid early railways, so that it can he had at most places near 300 miles from London on Satan. day evenings.

JUSTICE TAL FOUItD.—On Thursday' last a deputation front Reading waited on Mr. Justice Talfourd, at his residence in Russell square, to present to that gentleman a silver candelabrum, subscribed for by a large number of the inhabitants of the borough, of all parties. The base of the candelabrum is a tripod, on which stands a group of three female figures, re presenting Law, Justice, and Poetry, the two former mo delled from Flaxman's sculpture on Lord Mansfield's monu ment in Westminster Abbey, the latter from a drawing of the Greek Antique, bearing a scroll inscribed with the word "lon s ' in Greek characters.

FRENCH PLAYS. —ST. JAMES'S THEATItv. - , Mademoiselle Rachel, the greatest of living trage -1 dianr, indeed, we are not going too far in calling her the creator of French tragedy in modern times, com• menced an engagement of twelv e nights at this theatre last evening. The tragedy s e l ec t e d fur the occasion was the Phedre of R ac i ne , and into that stiff, lumbering, unnatural, stilted play she breathed the breath of life, and made it instinct with vitality, with passion, with hu. man interest. A miracle this, our readers Will say, who have by reading it become acquainted with the classical tragedy of the age of Louis XlV.,—a miracle we admit, and one which genius and genius only can accomplish. The com mencement of the tragedy until the entrance of Rachel, appeared stilted, unnatural, James Bland-y, in fact— (hy-the•bye, that king of burlesque would make all admirable tyran, or evil' amoureux for classical French tragsay)_ but the instant Rachel entered the stitlnet , s, the formality vttnisht-d, we cared not for the artificial cceiuriu , , we inarkA not the clinquant of tho rh:, mes —the impassioned Pnedre was bcfure us in whose bcstmn guilty hive was contending with duty, • and both at last were merged in madd ~,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and an insatiable desire for revenge. Racine, not withstanding his artificiality a n d hi s r h ymes , became natural when interpreted by the sub lime genius of Rachel, and we thought but of her, felt but for her, saw but her throughout the ritnninder of the tragedy. Sublimely did she represent the conflict between love and duty, as she related to CEnone her efforts to conquer her guilty love for Hippolyte—terrible, awfully terrible was the tempest of her passion . when her fureur for it was love driven to madness, breaks through all restraint, and. she declares her passion for Hippolyte; and intense was the expression of self-degradation as on finding her love rejected, and Aricie, the captive, preferred to her, the Queen, she sinks to the earth, exclaiming in accents •of despair— " 0 tui qui vois Is honte ouje suis descendue, Implacable Venus, suis-je asssz confondue !" Scorchingly withering, like the lightning's blast, was her expression of contempt and rage as, spurning from her presence CEnone, who had counselled her to poison Theses, she exclaims— • " Et puisse ton supplice a jsmais effrayer Tout ceux qui, comma toi, par de ladles addresses, Des princes malheureux nourissent les faiblesses, Lea poussent au ppnchant ou lcu r cccur est enclin, Et leur osent, du crime, applanir le chernia— DiLestables flatteurs! pi event le plus fun-ste ! Qui puissa fair aux roils la co:ere celeste l" In the scene in which she denounces Hippolyte to Thesee, her expression of suppressed feeling, ex hibited by the working of her mobile features, the choking tone of her utterance, and the unearthly calmness of her manner was very fine, and in the last scene, in which the impassioned and guilty wo man, having done justice on herself by poison, dies in agony, confessing her guilt, she reached the very highest pitch of sub limity. She was called on at the conclusion of each act, and again at the conclusion of the tragedy, and bouquets and crowns were showered epon her. M. Radon; as Theramene, de claimed the passages descriptive of the death of Hippolyte most effectively. He is by far the best actor of the troupe. The house was crowded by the elite of rank and Eshion, not a box nor a stall was unoccupied. SURREY THEATRE. --- This theatre has commenced an " Opera season," which seems to have a fair prospect of success. Last night Lucia di Lammermoor, carefully got up and well performed, both in its ensemble and its details, was applauded to the echo by a house crowded from floor to ceiling. Madlle. Nau's Lucy Ashton is well known. Her representation of the character is na tural and affecting, and she sings the music charm ingly. 'We have never seen her more successful than she was last night. Travers, in Edgar Ravenswood, acted with considerable force and passion, And dis played more vocal power than we supposed him pos sessed cf. He is much improved, both as an actor and a singer. Borrani's Ashton is an old acquaint ance. His representation of the character is good, and his singing is excellent. The part of Bide-the bent, the clergyman, generally quite insignificant, derived importance from the intelligence and feeling with which it was performed by Mr. Delavanti. The orchestra, though small, is the best that we have heard at this theatre. Herr Meyer Lutz, the con ductor, appears to understand his business, and the principal instruments are well played. The scenery and stage appointments were good, and the whole perforinance was agreeable and highly creditable to a theatre which does not profess to be a regular Eng lish opera house—a thing of which the metropolis of Engl".r.d is, and teems likely to remain, totally destitute. EXPLOSION or GUNPOWDEZ ON THE GLA.EGOW AND DUMFRIES IZAILWAY.—On Thursday morning loot, shout seven o'docl, a tremendous explosion of gunpowder took place close to the Mauchlin station, on the Glasgow and Dumfries line of railway. Fortunately no lives were lost, but a vast destruction of property was the consequence. Be fore the occurrence of the explosion alluded to a smaller one occurred in a carrier's cart, some two or-three trucks distant from the engine, by which the after portion of the train was separated from the rest of it. The after portion had retro graded down a declivity about 300 yards, when the great explosion took place, by which every house and building Within two miles of toe spot were shaken as if by an earth quake. A third explosion of a lesser . character followed. For upwards of 100 yards the ground was strewed with the smoking , ruins of carts, trucks, merchandise, &c., part re duced to smoking tinder and part in a blaze. ; a large quantity of spirits were ignited, and ran down the water courses, burning up the vegetation, &c. ; bales of cloth and other substances were on fire on the sides of the railway, and.some of them were carried a considerable distance by the force of the blast. How the disaster was occasioned it not yet discovered. The French navy, which on the Ist of January, 1848, consisted of 186 vessels in commission, was reduced on the Ist ofJanuary last to 145 vessels. It is proposed in the budget for the year 1851 that the ships in commission be fur ther reduced to 125 vessels. ADULT ORPLIAN ASYLUM.--The annual general meeting of the supporters of this charity was held yesterday afternoon, at the Asylum, St. Andrew's-place, Regent's-park ; Earl Manvers in the chair. The report, which was read by the 11ev. Mr. Anderson, deplored the loss of a most valuable patroness—the Queen Dowager. Her place had, however, been filled by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The Rev. F. E. Tyler, clerical superintendent, having resigned, his office had been already filled up to the satisfaction of the committee. With regard to their finance:, the report stated that of late serious reductions had been mace in the amount of the funded property of the institution, in order to make good the deficiencies of former years, but during the past year no such encroachment had been deemed necessary, principally on account of the liberal response made to their special appeal in the year before last. The subscriptions during the past year showed an inersase of about 70/., and the donations of nearly 600/. over those of the year preced ing. One congregational collection had amounted alone to M. 15s. 2d., and another, after a sermon by the Bishop of Salisbury, to 57/. 3s. 10d. Among the legacies left to the asylum was one of 10 guineas by Miss Sarah Anne Mid yard, a senior ward, who had been appointed in 1847 sub governess to the -children of the Queen, and who had thus expressed her interest in the institution which had formerly sfforded her a happy home. Another senior ward, Miss Laura Jury, had presented to the institution the profits, amounting to about 100/., of a work which Mr. Newby had published for her. Against the increase of income the com mittee placed the increased expenses of general repairs. The number of senior wards at present was 45, and of junior wards 23. The statement of accounts from January Ito December 81, 1849, showed the total receipts to amount to 2.831/. 18s. ld., which left a balance over expenditure of 890 L 13s. Id. Atter the ad , ption of the report, a vote of thanks to Miss Jury was unanimously passed, and the privi lege of two votes at all elections of wards Flaced at her dis posal. Thanks were also given to the medical and other officers at the institution for their past services, and to the Noble Earl in the chair for the manner in which he had pre sided over the meeting. DERBY, SATURDAY.—(From a Correspondent.)— The announcement of the division has diffused very general satisfaction in Derby—so much so, that the bells of several of the churches rang merry peals. The tone of Cobden's speech has disgusted his general admirers. It is quite clear he mistakes the feelings of the people 'of England. THE ROYAL ARSEICAL, Woomvicti.—Fifteen car , penters, six wheelers, six sawyer, and s , ;veral blacksmiths and other workmen, making in all thirty-fie mechanics, were discharged from the Royal Arsenal last-week, which, with sixty-five discharged in April list, make the number im ono hundred, which were to be reduced from the estab lishment during the present ye:.r. The imprcvements re cently made in machinery, and the introduction of Nas myth's hammers, enable the various departments of the Royal Arsenal to produce an equal, if not greater quantity of work, with a considerable reduction of the hands employed there previous to their being put into operation, and the work is finished with greater perfection. Amongst the ma chinery recently introduced in the gun-boring department, under Colonel Dundas, C. 8., is a perfect piece of mechanism for turning balls, and the principle on which it is constructed is so correct that from the commencement of its operation on an 8-inch solid shot until it acquires the entire spherical shape, the shot changes its position by self. acting worms, and does not vary the thousandth part of an inch from the true •round ball when finished. _ _ _ - - LAur:cri er THE AFRICA.—Y :.?sterday (Friday) afternoon the British nod North American mail steamer Africa wee launched from the building yard of Mes srs.
