SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of Matriculated the London Hospital Medical grAety, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. , 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 duced 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. ence 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 Unfruitful 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 consequent es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d er angement to which the timely a i d of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT 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 thehvpoeritical and mock-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 this 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 p ire of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated P ublications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues o their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious Injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and Medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MEIIT hould first obtain a c of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stricture during the last 20 years has equalled, if indeed it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries, and we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular, July 27, 1853. 11.

(Froth the Times. ) The Journal de St. Petersburg announces to the world, in repeated supplements, a long array of bulletins, rejoicings, and thanksgivings, which form a strange contrast to the falsehood and imposture evidently pervading these narratives, and to the mass of human suffering caused by the hateful work of destruction and of death. " The most pious Czar," says the journalist of that Court, thanked the Lord of Lords for the success of the victorious Russian arms which triumphed in the _awed . combat for the orthodox faith." It is diffi *nit-74ret/tragg—the- disgust with which ono reads such expressions ; and, 'bad as every part of this transaction litts — been on the side of -Russia, these violations of the laws of nations and of man are stamped with a deeper built when they are im puted to the favour of that Almighty Power which is the source of perfect justice and the avenger of innocent blood. This language and these obser vances are, of course, intended to kindle to its high est pitch the fanaticism of the Russian people, and to give the character of a crusade to the war. But beyond the frontiers of that empire they will serve only to display more palpably the hypocrisy which first gave the signal of war under the pretext of religion, and has since preserved the mask of nego tiation only to conceal more extensive preparations and more violent aggressions. Among the bulletins of the Russian forces, — which must be read with due allowance for the source they proceed from,—the account of the battle of Sinope is by far the most interesting, and, from the wide-spread destruction which overtook the Turks on that occasion, we must probably accept the testimony of the victors as our chief evidence. Moreover, the facts, as related by the Russians themselves, completely bear out the case against them. Admiral Nachimoff was cruising on the coast of Anatolia, when he perceived a squadron of Turkish ships in the roads of Sidope. He must have seen that the Turkish flotilla was already in ferior in strength to his own squadron, for he had then with him three two-deckers and six frigates ; but, not content with this advantage, he sent the steamer Bessarabia back to Sebastopol to fetch three line-of-battle ships of 120 guns each ; and it was not till these ships—the Ville de Paris, the Grand Duke Constantine, and the Tri Sviatitelia —had joined his own fleet that he proceeded to reconnoitre the position of the enemy. These three deckers joined in the night of the 27th of Novem ber—they must have been sent for some three or four days before—and the battle was not fought till the 30th. So that the whole operation was planned and executed with the utmost deliberation, and there was ample time for the Turkish authorities in Sinope to have received reinforcements if they had sent for them. On the 30th, between 9 and 10 a.m., with a favourable north-east breeze, the Russians entered the roads in two divisions, under cover of fog and rain, which concealed their ap proach until they were within 500 yards of the Turkish frigates. The Russian Admiral's ship, the Empress Maria, and the Ville de Paris, lead ing the port division, dropped their anchors, and the Turks opened their fire. The heavy three deckers did terrific execution, and several of the Turkish ships were blown up by shells from the Russian Paixhans guns. At two o'clock the firing ceased ; three Turkish frigates were in flames, and the transports altogethersunk. The Turkish portion of portents on fire, but, by one of those p occur in these sacred contests, ntsw town which we are informed by th e bulletin that the con flagration respected the quarter inhabited by of Sinope only in ° was the Greeks. It does not appear that any,porticn of the crews or treasure on board had been landed. On the following morning we are further told that nothing remained of the twelve vessels composing the Turkish squadron except a sloop and a corvette run ashore, and the Damietta Egyptian frigate, all of which were then ordered to be burnt. In these small vessels were found Osman Pasha, the Admiral; wounded in the leg, a few officers, and about 80 men. These appear to be the sole survivors of an armament which must have numbered the day be fore several thousand souls. In this manner, as we are informed by Prince Menschikoff in his des patch, " the orders of his Imperial Majesty have been most brilliantly executed." It is impossible to have further proof that this catastrophe was not the result of a casual encounter, but a deliberate assault On the-vessels of Turkey and the town of Sinope, which were supposed to be under the pro tection of the French and English fleets.

Are we, or are we not, resolved to co-ope rate with France, and have we _ exphanged definite engagements with her as to the nature of our com mon undertaking ? Until such positive and specific agreements exist (as they always have existed un der similar circumstances in former times) Turkey may doubt of our support, and France of our co operation ; everthing is vague, and we ourselves scarcely know whether we are at peace or at war. Be the course of the Government what it may, it is time that it be clearly defined, and that the country may know it ; for, after the attacks by sea and by land which we have just recorded, it is past all doubt that Russia" is waging war on Turkey in its most aggressive and destructive form ; and it is equally clear that the expedition ordered by the Emperor Nicholas against Si nope, and executed in pursuance of those orders, was intended as an answer • to the communications addressed to him on behalf of Turkey by the Maritime Powers. That is the opinion we expressed on the first receipt of this intelligence by the telegraph, and that opinion is strengthened to demonstration by the perusal of the Russian despatches. The entry of the com bined fleets into the Black Sea is, then, in our eyes, the natural and inevitable consequence of this outrage ; a'nd, if they have already quitted their anchorage in the Bosphorus; they have dbubtless full instructions to oppose by force every attempt on, the part of the Russian. navy to renew hostili ties. That a collision will ensue when naval forces are placed in such a position is extremely probable ; and the Emperor of Russia, foreseeing that such a result cannot long be avoided, unless ho with draws his fleet altogether from the sea, may anti cipate it by the declaration of a rupture. The manner in which these attacks have been 'con ducted, and the tone in which these victories have been celebrated, is sufficient proof that the Empe ror will not easily desist from this war ; and, though we regret none of the protracted efforts which have been made to avert so great an evil, we are not the less prepared to meet it in the last resort by a vigorous resistance. of the sea coast is t tape which can be gained by either of the belligerents in Asia, and that success must eventually rest with the Power which is able to land reinforcements as often as occasion may require: The " Russiandake," when com manded by the fleets of Great Britain and France, will become a, secure highway for Turkish transports ; nor will the catastrophe at Sinope be matter for unqualified regret, should it lead to the complete humiliation of Muscovite arrogance on the element which has recently , been the scene of its disgraceful triumph. For the wis dom' and vigour of the instructions which have been given to the allied fleets, we have sufficient guarantee in the character of our own Government, and in the un questioned sincerity of the French Emperor ; and for faithful execution, we may as implicitly rely on the ardour, the loyalty, and the courage of our sailors and their gallant comrades. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) The experience which we have lately had of 'Russian mendacity fully justifies an absolute refusal to believe any statement contained in bulletins concocted at St. Petersburg until they have received confirmation from some trustworthy authority—a period which, as a general rule, never arrives. We may be left for a while in uncertainty as to the precise quantity or qu-lity of falsehood which it may have suited his Imperial Ma jesty to produce from his inexhaustible stores for the edification of the " orthodox Christians" whom he go trb-iu the course of a few days we usually gain throle'bOrre6t information, and not only learn the truth, but perceive that there were very intelligiole reasons for its perversion. From a despatch of Prince Androni koff, published in our second edition of yesterday, it would evidently appear that the exploits of that gallant general and his devoted followers, in the regions of the Caucasus, have been something more than "remarkable and very particular." It is not indeed asserted that " they climbed up hills almost perpendicular," but we arc told that they discovered the enemy entrenched " in an inaccessible po sition; strengthened by a number of batteries" that, in de fiance of grape-shot and musketry, they crossed the river Poskhoff-Tchai, " the water of which came up to their armpits"—and that the result of a struggle of eleven hours was the utter rout of the Ottoman forces. The loss of the Turks is modestly estimated at 1,000 ; while that of the conquerors was, at the date of the despatch, not known to exceed 40. Those who are inclined to believe in this " most extraordinary, and, it may be said, unheard-of feat of arms"—as it is very justly styled by the victorious chronicler—are of course at liberty 'to enjoy their opinion ; but there can be little doubt that the story, if it has any foundation whatever in fact, is most grossly exaggerated. We have not as yet accurate intelligence from the seat of war in Asia, of so recent a date as that assigned to Prince Andronikoff's exploit (November 26); but there is good reason to believe that the result of previous contests had been exceedingly different from that which is alleged to have attended the operations of that valiant and imaginative war rior. The repeated attacks which have been made on Fort Saint Nicholas afford a sufficient answer to those who have underrated its importance to both the belligerents. Again and again the Russians have attempted to recover that position, but they have always been repulsed with considerable loss. The Turk ish commanders in Asia appear to have conducted their operations in the most vigorous manner, while they have possessed many peculiar facilities for effective action. In Georgia, they have found a friendly population ready to receive them with open arms, and they have prudently availed themselves of this advantage by making simul taneous attacks in different parts of the country. It might be premature at present to rely implicitly on the reports which have been received as to the advance of the various divisions of their force ; but we announced, a few days ago, that the detachment which crossed the frontier at Alexandropol bad succeeded in repulsing the fortress, and subsequent accounts have confirmed our enemy and in confining them within the walls •f the statement. With such fair prospects of success in Asia—with an army on the banks of the Danube which, according to the most recent account, exceeds 100,000 in number, and with a general possessing the abilities which Omer Pacha has throughout displayed—the Turks will not be "disposed towards peace" by the atrocity committed at Sinope. The Sultan's Ministers have, from the first, been desirous of terminating the war on honourable terms, but we must not rely too confidently on their power to control the ardour of their countrymen. At Smyrna, and at various places in its neighbourhood, the green flag of the Prophet has been displayed, in de fiance of the authorities ; and if the contest be prolo nge d , Muscovite fanaticism will be met by a religiou s enthu siasm,eabneyenointhfineritreela of t h violent, el to notme q ao u nn a l l y l b ea Ministry—thepolitic obstinate, a remotest e n me d r ro far t oerstofnow more th: hn ote justifiable.

Joseph Den man, embarked the Queen and Court this morning at Cowes, about half-past 10, on their return to Windsor for the Christmas. Her Majesty was saluted on enter ing this harbour by the flag-ship Victory, 104, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8.; Neptune, 120, Capt. Scott; and Frolic, 16, Commander Nolloth, all th e s hip s an d vessels under the pennant in port being dressed in mast head flags. On disembarking from the Fairy, her Ma. jesty was received by Vice-Admiral Sir. Thomas Coch rane, K.C.8., Major-General Simpson, &c. The guard of honour was furnished by the 35th Regiment, and was commanded by Major English. At a quarter-past 11 the Royal train left the Clarerice-yard for Windsor, via Basingstoke. Our attention was called on this occasitm to the very faulty and inconvenient accommodation for the Royal train. It run so close to the reception-rooms, that when the train is long, as it necessarily is when the Royal suite is numerous, the carriage doors cannot be opened unless the train is adjusted to the opening of the farads with the greatest nicety. On the last occasion Lord Alfred Paget had a very narrow escape ; as it was, the door was broken. On another occasion we saw the or na,inental work of the Royal carriage torn off the top by contact with the edge of the roof of the covered way to the landing place ; and to-day the steps to the coupi of the state carriage could not he let down owing to the wretched construction of the platform. It seems not a little disreputable that while her Majesty's poorest sub jects have in a majority of cases a covered station to alight or take the train at, the Queen is exposed to cold and wet for the want of similar accommodation. A well got up "yarn" about a snake having i ssued from a seaman's mouth in the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar having obtained extensive circulation, we are authorised to give it a positive contradiction. The authorities have been much annoyed by numerous letters applying for the particulars.

(From the Morning Herald.) Nothing, perhaps, is more singular in - the history of the last 50 years than the manner in which England, under rulers of every shade of politics, has been made subservient to the designs of Russia, notwithstanding the fact that she is herself the ultimate object against which all these designs are directed. It is hardly neces sary to call to our readers' recollection the various ways in which we have removed obstacles from her path to universal sway—how we encouraged the Czar in his ad vance to Adrianople, and how scandalously we con nived at the secret article of the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. The events of the last year are in every one's mouth—how we permitted the occupation of the Princi palities—how we attempted to coerce the Porte to make peace on the basis of the infamous Vienna note—how we permitted Russia to reinforce her troops in Asia— and how we wound up the long catalogue of our iniquities by directly contributing to the massacre of Sinope, hav ing prevented, by direct interference, the Turkish fleet from giving that protection to her transports which we ourselves had neither the courage nor the honesty to afford. All these, and more, are unfortunately familiar as household words, not only to Englishmen but to all Europe ; but another delinquency has been committed by our Cabinet, the results•of which promise to be the cause of even greater danger to England herself than any of the preceding. That to which we allude is the manner in which we have at last handed over Persia as a vassal to Russia, and so advanced the influence of the latter another 1,000 miles towards India, the great goal of her desires. It may appear singular that the Persians, who cannot be supposed to be wholly ignorant of the ultimate object of the Czar, should prefer his alliance to that of England ; but to those who have paid attention to the negociations which have at different times taken place between the three nations, and who know how invariably England has been fooled into playing the part of jackal to Russia —in fact, how completely in these transactions she has rehearsed the baseness of the last six months—no as tonishment can be caused that Persia should feel that if she is to be coerced by Russia, there can be no possible necessity that she should also be betrayed by England. We quote an instance from the admirable work gene rally attributed to Sir John M'Neiil, upon the " Pro gress of Russia in the East." When the negotiations were pending which resulted in the treaty of Goolistan (1814), it is stated : " The formal mediation of England was rejected by Russia ; but the good offices of the ambassador (Sir Gore Ouseley) were employed, and a treaty of peace was at length concluded, by which Persia ceded to Russia all her acquisitions south of the Caucasus, and engaged to maintain no navy on the Caspian." The Persian pleni potentiary had declined to accede to the former condition unless the district of Talich were excluded, for particular reasons not necessary to recapitulate. General Ritischef solemnly pledged himself, if the Persian ambassador would accept the basis, "to procUre from his court the restitution of Talich as an act of grace from the Emperor ; and deliberately held out the hope that the other provinces also would be restored." The British ambassador persuaded thb Persians to ac cept those terms, and undertook to use the good offices of his Government, &c. "The Persian Government, accustomed to place the most implicit reliance on the honour of Europeans," acceded to the demand. General Cathcart, who was sent to St. Petersburg as ambassador, was instructed by his Government to re deem the pledges of Sir G. Ouseley ; " but all his good offices, urged with the whole weight of his public and personal influence," "were unable to procure from the Emperor the relinquishment of one foot of ground." "arrived in Persia, he would restore nothing, and thus "When o allG acquisitionst e h n i e g ra l -oYfeR England r mu Russia li °a ff' 'the submitted remainedß u ! i Russian i ah C el larnp ambassador,o w s w s e e s 8 might o h n en ; , aa w lnl o dt n i won d er, r , that after a long series of transactions, of which the above is only a, sample, the name of England is as much despised in Persia as it will be hereafter in the Ottoman empire ? In fact, were it not for the dates, and the substitution of Persia for Turkey, fancy we were reading an episode in the transactions of the last six months. We have been at the trouble of extracting the above miserable piece of baseness, in order that our readers might deduce froth it the fact how com pletely we have been accessory to throwing Persia into the hands of Russia, and how little wonderful it is in a country such as Persia —where little patriotism exists, and bribery is common—that the influence of England should have sunk to nothing, while Russia is all powerful.
