SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University e 7 Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Lim., Bre. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from Juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro luced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-. once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con- equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or ftutctional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LAWERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical and meek-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. in selecting thi= department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the c Are of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated pahlications, Assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues o' their patent nowtrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who nave been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

And in the event of difficulty arising with respect to any of the regulations hereby ordered, or if any case should occur not herein provided for, or not sufficiently provided for, We are pleased hereby to authorise the Lord High Admiral, or our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral for the time being, to issue such directions thereupon as may appear just and expedient, which directions shall have the same force and effect as if specially provided• for in this our Royal Proclamation, pro vided always that the distribution hereinbefore ordered, shall take effect only with respect to the proceeds of cap tures, seizures, and services, as, aforesaid, which shall be made and performed on and after the first day of April, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-four, and that the proceeds arising from all captures, seizures, and services, as aforesaid, made or performed prior to that date, shall he distributed in accordance with any proclamation or proclamations now in force, or in force at the time of such captures, seizures ] or services respectively, and applicable thereto, which we are pleased hereby to direct accordingly. Given at our Court at Windsor, this twenty-ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three, and in the seventeenth year of our reign. —God save the Queen. The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. Noble Towner as Consul at Barbadoes for the United States of America. The Queen has also been pleased to approve of Mr. Sichel (senior), as Vice-Consul at Manchester for his Majesty the Emperor of Austria. T j he Queen has also been pleased to ,approve of Mr. George Wortnusurt as Consul at Gibrsltar for his Royal Eiighneee the Grand Duke of Oldenburgh. (From the Morning Chronicle.) . The Emperor Nicholas persists, it appears, in defying the opinion and braving the hostility of Europe. It will be seen from our Paris Corre spondent's letter of Thursday evening, that he has formally rejected the Protocol and Note agreed to by the Four Powers at Vienna on the sth instant.. He will have no objection to receive and examine any propositions which the Conference may forward to him on behalf of Turkey ; but ho explicitly re fuses to accept the intervention of other Powers between himself and his victim. In other words, Europe may, if it will, amuse itself in concocting projects of pacification, but, in the meanwhile, " Minn arnj,ee marche." As for the fleets of the 'Western Powers, the Czar affects total indifference to their menaced movements in the Euxine. In a word, all disguise is at an end ; and.nothing is • now left for Englan d and France butte make the war, . which appears inevitable, as short and' decisive possible. While Russian diplomacy thus finally refuses to European opinion even the honiage of hypo crisy, it naturally seeks the more congenial alli ance of Asiatic barbarism and corruption ; and we are by no means disposed to deny the credit to which it is entitled for the success which has attended its intrigues at the Court of Teheran. It is not_ sur prising that a power which stands alone in Europe —which cannot rely upon the assistance, or even the sympathy, of a single civilised nation in the quarrel which it has provoked—should seek allies in regions even more barbarous than its Own ; and the consideration, whatever it may be, which has purchased the friendship of the Shah and . his ad visers, will be well repaid, by any'annoyanoe which his arms may occasion to our Indian possessions. As a wise preparation for .hostilities,_ the Versian. Sovereign has, it appears, decided on Clisthissing " the English, French, German, and Italian officers serving in his army." There can be no doubt that the war department of St. Petersburg will be able to supply the vacancies thus created ; and it is pro bable enough that the progress which the Shah's troops haVe; as yet made in the military art may not be such as to render it safe that their barbarian energy should, in actual warfare, be restrained by the strict rules of European discipline. It is, moreover, at the present moment, not very unlikely that their first contest may be with Asiatic forces, and that, far from proving useful , auxiliaries to their imperial ally, they may, before* long, have to invite his assistance to secure them in their own possessions. In our Second Edition of yesterday, we mentioned a rumour that Dost Ma homed, who is notorious for his enmity to Russia, has made demands on Persia which can hardly be conceded, but which, if refused, will be enforced with all the strength of the extensive territory which he governs. Should this intelligence be cor rect, a move, which at first sight appeared a mas terstroke of Imperial policy, may turn out to have been a most serious mistake, and maybe productive of no small embarrassment to both the contracting parties. It would be a signal and satisfactory in stance of prompt retribution, if Russian finesse should thus prove " overstrong against itself," and if resources designed for the subjugation of Europe should be drained for the support of an impotent Asiatic ally. Time alone can prove the correctness of these anticipations. In the meanwhile, active operations appear to be suspended, tor the present, in Georgia as well as on the Danube ; and it is even stated, in the despatch from Vienna which we publish else where that Turkish bulletins acknowledge the entire evacuation •of the Russian territory in Asia. This can scarcely be correct, since by all our most recent accounts, the Ottomans still retain their important acquisition. of Fort St. Nicholas ; but there seems to be little doubt, from our Constantinople de spatch of the 19th inst., that the Turks have found it impracticable to continue the sieges of Achalzik and Alexandropol. We are still, however, without any authentic details respecting either Prince Andronikoff's " unheard-of' achievements of the 26th of November, or the alleged rout of Abdi Paella by Prince Beboutoff on the 2d inst. Our present accounts show that the Ottoman arms have sustained a check at both of those places ; but they certainly contain nothing which can be readily identified with the brilliant and decisive Russian victories described in the Imperial bulletins. It may not improbably turn out that the boasted Russian successes simply consist in repulsing, for the present, an attack which menaced the Czar's tenure of Georgia • and it is certain that, un l ess his forces have achieved some very substantial tri umph, their position may again, at no distant period, become exceedingly critical. In Daghcstun, Schainyl and his warlike mountaineers are in vigo rous action, prepared, as opportunity may serve, to co-operate effectively with the Turkish generals; and Prince Woronzoff may well strain every effort to avert a junction, which, if once effected, would gravely imperil his position at Tiflis. It is no doubt true that the Court of St. Peters burg is prepared, in Asia as well as in the Da nubian provinces, for a prolonged and obstinate conflict. The Imperial policy has never been too regardful of human life, and it seems to have adopted as its maxim the answer of a wit, who, when told of a battle in which thousands of Russians had been sacrificed, replied that " there was no harm done—it was so easy for Providence refaire les Busses." But, should events once' dispel - the 'prestige attaching to a name feared and detested by many a half-subjugated tribe—should the trans- Caucasian provinces once succeed in assertin , even partially and temporarily, their independeuce of Muscovite rule, multitudes will be found to follow the example, and the more recent accessions to the overgrown Empire will form a source of weakness rather than of strength. It is at least certain that Prince •Woronzoff's reinforcements must in future arrive either -by laud or by the Caspian ; for the instructions given to the commanders of the combined fleets distinctly require them to confine the Imperial fleet in the Euxine within the ' harbour of Sebastopol. We may, therefore, assure ourielves that, in any case, the repetition of such a tragedy as the Sinope butchery is impossible. Each detail which we receive relative to that much vannted " victory" aggravates the guilt of those by whdm it was achieved ; and the official account is sued by the Porte mentions two circumstances which we have not before noticed, one of which peculiarly concerns English readers. It is stated that burning pieces of oiled linen were thrown into the town for the purpose of destroying it by fire— a humane intention which was, to a considerable extent, accomplished ; and the fact affords an in structive commentary on the letter addressed by Admiral Nachimoff to the Austrian Consul, in which be gives &full and particular .account of the " sole end of the arrival of the Imperial fleet in the roads of Sinope." He had learned, it seems, that the Turkish ships, " which had been continually to the coast of Abassie, in order to cause the people submitted to Russia to revolt, had taken refuge in the harbour, and thus he had been reduced to the deplorable necessity of attacking them, at the • risk of causing damage to the city and port." Like a true servant of his veracious So vereign, the admiral claims, and probably ex pects, credit for professions as utterly inconsistent with his conduct as ever was any apology which Russian craft has invented for Russian brutality. The other circumstance to which we have refer red is infinitely more niaterial to the British go vernment and people. It appears that an English merchant vessel, with the English colours flying at her mast head, was fired up on an d sunk by the aggressors. We know not what pretex.t, of " de plorable necessity" or the like, may un be invented to pt tiersess we trespassers arers uponglossonceourselvesa Russian lake, and justly punished f or our intru sion, it is an insult, not to be " explained," but to, be atoned for. It is significant that the accounts from St. Petersburg have not, that we recollect, mentioned this fact, alth oug h i t might have been expected that the very earliest opportunity would have been taken for offering some apology for so flagrant an outrage. If, however, the Czar has made up his mind to war, it is, perhaps, not amiss that it should b eg i n with ;wanton urjr to our commerce and an aud ac i ous i ns ult to our fla offered by an enemy whose treacherous professions have hitherto induced us to abstain from adopting those measures which would adequately have se cured both the safety of the one and the honour of the other. ST. JAMES'S, CLERICENWELL. -On the day after Christmas-day a large hamper was delivered to the master of the Clerkenwell Workhouse, containing 13 turkeys - and a round of beef ;, a note aceomnanying it, from Messrs. Clark and Ingles, of Apsley-liouse, Pen tonville:hill, requested the master's acceptance of the contents for the poor in the workhouse, in consideration of this inclement season. On the matter being reported to the guardians, some difficulty arose as to the distri bution of this Christmas fare, the number in the work house precluding the possibility of giving a share to every inmate. The decision was that it should be sup plied to the sick, the old, and the infirm, as a treat on New Year's-day. Since to-night we have to say good-bye to '53, and have already chronicled the good features of the year commercially, let us also add a word or two about its legislative results. With all their sins of omission and of commission, the Coalition are entitled to much praise for a portion at least of their Parliamentary doings. The " Successions Duty" Law will iu itself be a highly honourable monument of their legislative usefulness, and, had they done nothing else, that act alone would secure them a large measure of respect from all reformers and sound politicians. To carry so useful a bill required courage, tact, and a considerable amount of self-sacrifice. Let those who had the honesty to put upon their own class an impost which had been before evaded, have at least the credit fairly due to such practical patriotism. The repeal of the Soap: Tax and the Abolition of the Advertisement Tax must also be gratefully remembered. Turning to ' a list of new laws passed in 1853 we find the 'i following : .

The following extract from the Glasgow North British Daily Mail goes to verify our statement about the preparation in England of war steamers for the Czar. This paragraph from our Scottish con temporary intimates that " machinery" for certain war steamers is being completed on the Clyde—the hulls being in preparation apparently elsewhere : " We understand that an official letter from Lord Palmerston, as secretary for the Home Department, has been received this week by the civic authorities of Glasgow, requesting to know particulars respect. ing some war steamers which his lordship was in formed were building on the Clyde for th e E mperor of Russia. His lordship has, we believe, been misin formed on the subject, as there are no ships build ing here for the Czar ; but there are at present being constructed two pairs of p ower f u l fi rst - class marine engines and machinery for war st eamers, by one of our first engineers, who is under contract to have them at Croustadt in April, and to fit them up in the vessels there by his own workmen. Although there are no ships building here for the Autocrat, we have reason to believe that his lordship may learn somethi ng on t h e su bj ect if he institutesin quiries on the banks of the Tyne or Wear." The following letter has beenforwarded to IN. for publication " hall, Dee. 12. "Sir,—Her M a j es t y ' s G over nment White have had before them the letter addressed by my predecessor on the 4th of October, 1852, to the Chaacellor of the University of Cambridge. . . " Your Royal Highness will, without .doubt, remember that her Majesty was pleased, in her speech from the I Throne, on the 11th of November, 1852, to acquaint Parliament that she had caused to be transmitted.to th e • Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, respectively, copies of the reports of the Commissioners of Inquiry upon those Universities, and had called the attention of those Universities to those reports with a view to a de liberate examination of the recommendations contained therein. " A statement was subsequently made to the House of Commons, that the Government thought it desirable that ample time should be allowed for a full examination of those matters, and that it was not intended that any legislation on the subject of the recommendation of the Commissioners should be proposed to Parliament during ' the then current session. "At the same time, though it was not deemed ex pedient to discuss the various details connected with subjects so important and diversified as the matters in question, yet reference was made to some essential points, with respect to which Her Majesty's Govern ment conceive that it would be the desire and expecta tion of Parliament, with a view to the public welfare and to the extension of the useful influence of the 'Uni versities, that plans of improvement should be enter tained. " These points were : " 1. An alteration of the constitution of the Univer sities with a view to the more general and effecti►e re presentation of thelseveral main elements which properly enter into their composition. " 2. The adoption of measures which might enable the Universities, without weakening the proper securi ties for discipline, to extend the benefits of training to a greater number of students, whether in connexion or not with Colleges and Halls, and also to diminish the relative disadvantages which now attach within Colleges and Halls to students of comparatively limited pecuniary means. " 3. The establishment of such rules with regard to Fellowships, and to the enjoyment of other College en dowments, as might wholly abolish or greatly modify the restrictions which now, e in many cases, attach to those Fellowships and endowments, and might subject the acquisition of such Fellowships and endowments generally to the effective influence of competition. "4. The establishment of such regulations with re gard to fellowships thus to be acquired by merit as should prevent them front degenerating into sinecures, and especially the enactment of a provision that after fellowships should have been held for such a time as might be thought reasonable as rewards for early exer tion and distinction, they sho;Ai either be relinquished, or should only continue to-Le held on condition of resi dence, coupled with a discharge of active duty in disci pline or tuition, or with the earnest prosecution of pri vate study. " 5. Aint, lastly, the establishment of provinions tinder which colleges po,sessed of means either particularly ample, or now only partially applied to the purposes of education or learning, might, in conformity with the views which founders have often indicated, render some portion of their property ariilable for the general pur poses of the University beyond as well as within the college walls, and might thus facilitate the energetic prosecution of some branches of study the importance of which the University have of late distinctly and specially acknowledged. " It is obvious that for the attainment of these ends provision must be made for the careful adjustment of existing statutes and for the abolition or modification of certain oaths which are now periodically administered in some of the colleges. " There are other changes tending to the increased efficiency and extent of study which would naturally accompany or follow those to which I have adverted, bat what I have stated may be enough to explain the general expectations which her Majesty's Government have been led to form under the influence of their sin cere desire to acknowledge the services and to respect the dignity and due independence of these noble institu tions, and to see their power and influence enlarged to the full measure of the capabilities indicated by their splendid endowments. "Actuated by these views, her Majesty's Government did not hesitate to determine that, so far as depended upon them, a considerable interval of time should elapse, afoftreeratnhye specific e s of the commissioners had appeared, be the degree and nature respecting propositions o f the should legislation Universities which it might be requisite to submit to Parliament. " Her Majesty's Government, ho waver, feel that the time has now arrived when it will be due, both to the country of which these universities are such conspicuous ornaments,universities and to the well understood interests of the th e mselves, that these questions should be decided. • " I therefore request that your Royal Highness will, in pour capacity of Chancellor ofthe University of Cambridge, have the goodness to take an early opportunity of inform ing me what measures of improvement that University, or so far as your Royal Highness's knowledge extends, any of its Colleges may be about to undertake, and and what aid they may desire from Parliament in the form either of prohibitions, of enabling powers, or of new enactments. "Her Majesty's 'Government are anxious to receive this information in such time as may enable them to give to this important subject the careful deliberation it demands, and to be in a condition to advise her Majesty thereupon, if possible, by the month of February. "Her Majesty's Government, however, have no hesi tation in avowing their opinion, that repeated and minute interference by Parliament in the affairs of the Universities and their colleges, would be an evil; and they are desirous to maintain the dignity of these insti tutions and to secure for them the advantages of free dom of action. For these reasons, therefore, as well as on other grounds, they earnestly hope to find, on the part of these bodies, such mature views and such en larged designs of improvement as may satisfy the rea sonable desires of the country ; and by obviating the oc. casion for further interference, may relieve those per sons in the Universities who are charged with th e weighty functions of discipline and instruction, from the distraction which the prospect of such interposition must dutiful necessarily entail.—l am, sir, your Royal Highness's servant, "To Field Mar sh (S al i gnheid). `` PikLMERSTON, s Royal Highness Prince Albert, &e., Chancellor of the "University of Cambridge." COLLISION ON THE GRUNT N ORTHERN RAILWAY.— - Vesta.,lay morning an accident happened to the 9 50 Great Northern mixed express, due in London at 4 p.m., a short distan ce south of the' Doncaster station, which has resulted i n th e demolition of some of the com pany's rolling stoek, while the passengers had a very narrow escape. The train arrived in Doncaster with in a very few minutes of the iim9 at which it wag due, and after it had proceeded alrait 400 or 500 yards south of the station, it came into violent collision with a mine ral train, which was crossing from the main line i n to .a siding t o a ll ow t h e express t o p ass . Th e express train ran into th e thi r d and fourth waggons of the mineral trait, and they were smashed to pieces and thrown on their side. The fifth waggon from the engine was broken, and the buffer planks of the express engine were shivered to pieces. The passengers were very much terrified with the shock which they had received by beindthrown from their seats, but we did not observe a ny that were injured. Mr. Johnson, the locomotive s uperintendent, Mr. Mullens, the station master, Mr. Middlemess, the mineral agent, and several other offi cials, were immediately upon the spot with an efficient staff of labourers, and the line was sufficiently clear in al/out half an hour to allow the express to proceed on its destination. The down line was cleared in about an hour afterwards, so that the ordinary passenger traffic was not further interrupted.
