MEDICAL ADVICE ON TIIE SECREr INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, & c., eco mAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, ^esultlng from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro- Weed 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 Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.

" To L. Crombi e , SecretaryQ of the donLo and South-Western Railway Company." The CHAIRMAN then moved " That the report be re ceived,and adopted, and referred back to the directors with authority to carry it i n t o e ff ect. " , Mr. IIIBBERT seconded Vie motion. Mr. MORTIMER then addressed the meeting. He said ' that when he joined the board 12 months ago, certs an statements were put before him of th e past expeudit' ire upon every individual line, of the earnings, of the c ost of the plant, &c. In May last, when it was proposed to extend the line from Dorchester to Exeter, certain slate meets of receipts and expenditure were laid hefor e the boar.], showing the receipts of the Dorchester line to be 56,1291. and the expenditure 28,0001., nr in round 'lum bers 50 per cent. He carefully compared those figures with the half-yearly accounts, and found there were at, least ten different items which were not charged. Those items (which he enumerated in considerable detail) amounted to at least 10,0001., and to that assertion he would pledge his reputation. (Cheers.) If he had been favoured with an interview with Messrs. Quitter and Ball, he had no doubt he could have convinced them of the accuracy of the view which he had taken, but he had never received any communication from the board on the subject. (Cries of Shame, shame.) He had joined the board in a minority, and should most likely continue in that position. A SHAREHOLDER—We'II support you if you'll stand by the proprietors. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. MORTIMER believed that the depreciation of the line had been caused by the construction of branches. But of all the branches he believed the Dorchester to he the best, for it had saved the Southampton traffic, and in his opisaion the traffic on that line was not yet half developed. The chairman had alluded to an assertion made by him (Mr. Mortimer) in May last, that he would offer no further opposition to the scheme. He admitted that he had made that assertion. When the shareholders abandoned him on the question of extension ho consi dered it his duty to bow to their decision, and he should not have said anything more on the subject, had they not seen their error and appointed a committee. (Hear, hear.) He had always objected to the pledge, and con sidered that the minority had the right gives them by the Wharncliffe clause, which gave power to one-fourth to refuse their concurrence to any new lines. Shortly after the pledge was given, the committee of the House of Commons got an admission from the counsel that the company would make a double line, and the chairman ratified that pledge. Now, all that the proprietors had sanctioned was a single line from Dorchester to Exeter, at a cost not exceeding 700,00 0/. It was said that the, pledge had been ratified at the last meeting, and he was convinced that not one of the proprietors in a thousand knew that any such vote was to be taken. (Cheers.) The meeting ought to have been made special for the consideration of that point. (Cheers.) That pledge, having been made to the House of Commons, must be taken for what is worth. And he must remind the proprietors that there were most frightful expenses with which they were unacquainted. (Hear, hear.) H e believed that some 276,0001. had been scored up for western extension expenses. (Hear.) He was quite cer tain that the line could not be run at the cost of 23,0001. a year. (Hear, hear.) Since the accounts had been gone into, the directors had found out some way of re• modelling them, and had increased the 56,1291. to 58,0001., and reduced every item of expenditure. He trusted they were right, but had no means of ascertain. ing the fact. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN declared that the board had never altered its figures at all. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. HENDERSON, on the part of the committee of shareholders, then rose to move the following amend ment :—" That this meeting declines to authorise the directors to undertake any liability for raising the capital to construct the extension of railway between Dorchester and Exeter, being of opinion that it would be impolitic and unremunerative, especially under the present unlooked-for state of public affairs, and involving serious injustice to the large body of shareholders indi vidually protesting against the measure ; and further that this meeting is not bound to adopt the deviation proposed by the directors from the terms of the pledge given to a committee of the House of Commons. He trusted that a final decision would now be come to on this question. The amendment was founded on the principle of opposition to extensions, which had lowered shares from premiums to discounts, and high dividends to low ones. (Hear, hear.) When this line had fallen from 1701. to 751., in consequence of extensions, he did not see what confidence could be placed in the course taken by the directors. (Hear, hear.) The great ques tion for consideration was whether this line would be remunerative or not. A SHAREHOLDER—Whether we shall keep our word ior not. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HENDERSON said he would come to that point presently. lie would first take the question of popula tion. Tho population between Southampton and Dor chester was 92,800, whereas between Dorchester and Exeter, the population was only 55,700, and in three towns the,population had actually fallen off. If pert lation was a test of the value of the line, the case of the chairman must fall to the ground. (Cheers.) Then with respect to the cost. 'The original estimate was 630,0001., and it was said that in no case should it ex ceed 700,0001., but now a considerable ttddition had been made to that sum. The money requisite for the line could not be obtained at less than 5 per cent., and the annual charge for interest wonld not be less than 35,0001. According to the figures of the directors, they could not get more than 3 per cent: in return, and would, therefore, lose to the extent of 11,0001. a year. lie did not consider that there was any probability of raising the necessary amount for less than 5 per cent., and was of opinion that the interest would in a short time be 8 per cent. (Hear.) Ho now canto to it users important matter. The directors, considering that the line between Southampton and Dorchester and South ampton could pay 31 per cent., had conic to the con clusion that the other line would pay the same. He wished to know how the money was to be raised for making the Dorchester line ? The CHAIRMAN said it would be taken out of the general funds. Mr. HesuensoN resumed—lt appeared to him that part of the amount had been raised by debentures, and therefore impugned the accuaracy of the statement of' the directors that the line would pay 31 per cent. (Hear.) With regard to the accounts, Mr. Foyle said they were all so intermingled that it would take months to go through every item. A great deal had been said about the pledge which had been given, and that the other line would not have been thrown out but for that pledge. Now, he wish e d t o warn the meeting againstpersever big in the course which had hitherto been pursued, and contended that the spirit of the contract had been so altered that Parliament would not insist on its being adhered to. (Hear.) The directors had themselves de viated from the pledge, because they had promised to make a double line, and now proposed a single one. Mr. PUNCHARD seconded the amendment. Mr. Tier Seymer rose, but was interrupted by loud cries of " order," several gentlemen persisting that Mr. Punchard was in possession of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said if Mr. Ker Seymer would give way, of course Mr. Punchard would be in possession. (Oh, oh, and great confusion.) Mr. PUNCHARD declared that he had eaten a hearty breakfast, and would not give way if he detained the meeting till to-morrow morning. (Cheers and laughter.) He had been a shareholder for some years, and bad wit nessed such a course of proceeding, on the part of the directors, that he had opposed every step which they had taken. (Cheers an d l aug hter.) He protested agai nst the construction of lines for the purpose of putting money into the pockets of solicitors and engineers. (Great interruption.) The extension of the line to Exe ter had been brought about by threats. (Hear.) The sooner the chairman put his threat of resignation into execution the better; and he must iie allowed to say that he looked upon the whole board as a nest of scor pions. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. KER SETMEK said the coast line between Dor chester and Exeter was almost identical with that pro moted by the Great Western Company and their allies. The second reading of the bill of that company was passed, and but for the opposition which it received from the South-Western Company, it would have received the sanction of the legislature. That line would neces sarily have been constructed on the broad guage, which was more expensive to make and work, and was so laid down that it would not have afforded the greatest amount of accommodation to time local traffi c o f t h e district. The project of the South - Western Company would afford great local accommodation, and deserved support on that account ; and considering the tendency of the population to visit the southern watering places, he felt prove r emunerative. " qu ite confident that it would was bound to d• • (bear.) In his opinion the compa n y here to time pledge which had been given to Parliament. If they did not adhere to that pledge, they could never again appear before a committee with , credit. (Cheers, and cries of "oh, oh.") The did not want to appear before perhaps might say they Parliament. (Cheers.) But they would be obliged to e appear there when other persons brought forw a w rd ith lin a es ch t r i e ff a ec e t d ing i thei e r te in r terests ; p er if they did appear con sequence of repudiating their engagements, but little n at tention would be paid to their representations. (Cheers, and oh, oh.) The honourable and learned gentleman, after replying t o var i ous attacks which had been made upon the directors, and commenting on the course taken by the minority at the board, concluded by recom mending the line to the shareholders as one intrinsically right, remunerative in itself, greatly protective of the company's existing lines, and certain to add largely to their earnings. (Hear.) Mr. DicesNsoN, a proprietor to a small extent hi Great Western preference stock, but a much larger holder of South-Western stock, said that the Great Western extensions had nearly all proved great losses to that company, and, with the exception of the South ampton and Dorchester extension, about which he con sidered there was a doubt, all the branches and exten sions of the South-Western line bad proved equally a loss to this company. He thought it was a most happy thing for the Great Western Company that they lost their Devon and Dorset bill last year, and they o ug h t to thank the South-Western Company for having op. posed them. Extensions bad proved equally disastrous to the London and North -W este r n Company. Re did not consider the shareholders of this company were b oun d to carry out the plec!ge 019 by the gonad , but I PRICE SD. a body, but vitally important to the directors—namely, the trustworthiness, or untrustworthiness of those to whom the interests of the shareholders had been en trusted. (Hear, hear.) After a full disoussion of the matter in May, the meeting resolved, " That the inte rests of the company are deeply concerned in procuring ,the rejection of the Devon and Dorset Railway Bill, now pending in Parliament, and in extending thereafter this company's railway from Dorchester, by Bridport and Axminster to Exeter. That the directors be ac cordingly authorised and requested to pledge this com pany to apply to Parliament at the earliest period for powers to construct such last-mentioned line, and to'put such powers into execution, so as to give the district in question the accommodation which such extension will afford, with the least possible delay." That pledge was er tspcu g htrar i , eo - ctaacceitoteien,a; pledge. proceeding. g h ioel a ni. vin d eis efri b t t e ,ugh e taaie n ‘n, Iled s , ha did I die e b oon o ut c u l ed t g h oe tx i given by th e d i rectors—(hear, hear)—and the price was in d the reje c ti on o f the Devon and Dorset bill. (Hear.) A (M It evidence c a e mos most before unworthy tiie m committee ode ,he hs exactly r y e r s . a p S s o t e i bt was t y p e " . a tittle further. At was called in, and told the committee he was entitled to go to the extent to which he had gone, and he did not know that he cou ld go much further. He was then told that the bill mi g ht b e l ost ; and he did what he thought consistent with th e w i s h es and honour and in terests of the proprietors. (Ch eers and hisses.) He mentioned the matter to the bo ar d, and the board una nimously approved of what he had done, andthanked him for it. (Hear, hear.) These facts were fully stated to the meeting in August, and that meeting, with scarcely a dissentient voice, resolved—" That this meet: ing fully sanctions and adopts the pledge given by th e board to bring before Parliament, in the next session, a bill for constructing an extension of this company's railways from Dorchester to Exeter, and for making the Southampton and Dorchester Railway a double line throughout ; and the directors are hereby authorised and requested to take from time to time all such mea sures as may appear to them most expedient for enabling the company to carry these pledges into prac tical effect." (Hear, hear.) Now, he wished to know how that could be called "the policy of the board," when the proprietors themselves had sanctioned that policy ? So long as that policy was acted upon—in May and August—the shares maintained their po sition ; and it was not until September that any fall took place. He had communicated with the chairman of the committee on the subject of the proceedings which had taken place, and that gentleman said the company was in a difficult position, and he did not see how he could give it any help ; and an hon. member connected with one of the dockyards said, "If you do not complete your pledge, I suppose the Great Western Company will proceed, and Parliament will take up their line." (Hear, hear.) The events which had taken place had created the greatest anxiety in the minds of the directors, and they regretted exceedingly that their position had been so materially damaged. If the shareholders em ployed any persons on an honourable mission, they must employ honourable men—if they employed any persons on matters of trust, they must employ those who were trustworthy--if they expected persons to believe those who were so employed, they must show their own confidence in the parties—if they desired to be released from an engagement, they must admit the obligation of that engagement, for it was ridiculous to ask to be released from an engagement which they did not consider obligatory, (Hear, hear.) He had stated the position of the company in August last, On the 31st of that mouth a statement was issued to the effect that the directors were working the company and not directing it—that they had concealed important facts— that they had misstated important figures in their ac counts ; but at the same time proposing that the gen• tlemen who had been guilty 'of these misdeeds should be employed in a negotiation with other parties, in order to release the proprietors from the engagements into which those false statements had led them. And this proposition Wai made at the time the proprietors had paralyzed the efforts of the directors, and prevented them from doing what they might have been able to do with greater effect. (Hear, hear.) [The lion. chair man then proceeded at considerable length to com ment upon the various letters which have been recently published, and entered into a refutation of the state ments put forth by the committee of which Mr. Snell was the chairman.] He then referred to the assertion that the directors were not so united as they had been represented to be. Now, Mr. Uzielli bad written very strongly in favour of the views of the directors ; Mr. Reed and Colonel Henderson approved of the course which they had taken ; and Mr. :Mortimer had stated that they should receive nu further opposition from him. (Hear, hear.) He did not see how that state ment could be reconciled with what had since taken place, (Hear, hear, and hisses.) He had not the least doubt that the depreciation of the stock—which had gone down 14?. 'from the date of Mr. Snell's circular, making a difference of about 1,000,000.:. in the capital of the company—had taken place mainly in consequence of the obloquy and slanders which had been circulated. (No, no, and great uproar.) He would withdraw the words, and say, in consequence of the unjust representa tions which had been put forth affecting the characters of the directors. (Hear, hear.) A great deal had been said about the depreciation caused by the branch lines, and statements had been made shewing that the Dor chester line would pay only 1i per cent. ; but the cal culation was based on a wrong foundation, and was altogether illusory. He felt quite confident that, after full examination, the accounts of the directors would be found correct, and afford ample data for the construc tion of the line: (Hear, hear.) He trusted the two matters before the meeting would be kept quite distinct —the project of the shareholders and the character of the directors. He would suggest the propriety of leav ing the matter to the decision of some person on whose name the breath of slander could not rest—to some such man as Mr. Pemberton Leigh, or Mr. Stuart Wortley, or Mr. Spencer Walpole—and should feel quite satisfied with that decision, whatever it might be. (Cheers and hisses.) LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND NORCH STAFFORDS'iIIItE RAIL PAY COMPANIES. (TRAFFI ) ARRANGEMENTS.)

A special general meeting of the proprietors of this compsny was held yesterday, at Hawkstone-hall, Waterlog-road, "for the purpose of considering and deciding upon the proceedings to be adopted by the company with reference to the proposed extension of the railway from Dorchester, including the provision of the capital necessary to be subscribed for the same, and of authorising the necessary measures for carrying the determination of the meeting into effect." The Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT, the chairman of the board of directors presided. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the Secretary was about to read the , report, when a suggestion that it be taken as read was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders that they had at last arrived at a period when they were likely to.come to a settlement of the important ques tion which had been so long pending, which had given the shareholders so much trouble, and the directors so much anxiety. The report stated that at the half yearly meeting in August last the directors reported that, on the authority of the very large majority of the proprietors, at the meeting in May, determining that the construction of the Devon and Dorset (broad guage) line, west of Dorchester, would be injurious to the interests of the railway, they had taken measures to defeat that project. The directors also reported, that, on the authority of the same meeting, pledging the company to seek for powers in the next session to con struct a double line of railway from Dorchester to Exeter, they had succeeded in obtaining the rejection of the Devon and Dorset Bill ; and that thereupon the meeting 'unanimously authorised and requested the board to take from time to time all such measures as might appear to them most expedient for enabling the company to carry into practical effect the pledge which had thus been given. The directors, after stating what had occurred during the last summer and at the meet ing in August, proceeded to recommend the following course :—" 1. That the application to Parliament in the next session shall be for powers to construct, within five years from the passing of the act, a single line of railway from Dorchester to Exeter, to be there con nected with the Bristol and Exeter, and the Exeter and Crediton lines, with land for a double line. 2. That the share capital to be authorised by the bill shall be limited to such sum as will suffice for the above purposes, and that the usual borrowing powers be sought in ad dition, to be used in such manner as the proprietors may afterwards determine, either in substitution for share capital, so far as they will extend, or for the pur pose of doubling the new line as next mentioned. 3. That the bill shall contain an obligation to make the extension line double between Exeter and Axminster, within five years after the opening of the line, and also between Dorchester and Axminster within the same period, unless in the meantime an act shall have been passed for making a narrow guage railway from Salis bury to Axminster. 4. That in order to obviate the necessity for a subscription and issue of share capital in the present state of the money market, the directors should, on the authority and at the request of the pro prietors, and for their benefit, execute the necessary Parliamentary contract, and take all the other needful measures for complying with the standing orders of Parliament respecting the capital." The directors then went on to say that "if these recommendations receive your sanction, and if the meeting pass such reso lutions as will be proposed iu order to carry them into effect, the directors, in the confident belief, and for the sole purpose of essentially promoting the best interests of the company, are ready to adopt the measures in question, whereby they trust the com pany will reap all the advantages of the contemplated extension, without incurring the sacrifice consequent on a present allotment and issue of share capital." The report then proceeded to state generally the views of the engineer who recommended an extension of the line about two miles beyond Exeter, so as to join the North Devon and Exeter and the Crediton and Bristol lines at a point called Cowley Bridge. As this company pos sessed shares to the extent of 160,000/. in the two com panies just mentioned, it was thought desirable, by the outlay of 100,0001. more, to obtain the 'benefit of 47 miles of traffic beyond Exeter, which would be a most material adjunct to any traffic which might be obtained by proceeding to Exeter. (Hear, hear.) The question now before tho meeting was whether the proprietors were willing, upon the terms which had been made for them by the directors, to construct the line from Don chester to Exeter. That construction the shareholders had, on two, previous occasions, substantially deter mined upon, by meetings which, if not unanimous, were so nearly unanimous as to make it imperative on the directors to pursue; the course then enjoined. The mat ter to be considered at present was an engineering question, and the question of raising the capital. (Hear, hear, and no, no.) Taking the question of ca pital first, it was proposed that the directors should execute the necessary parliamentary contract. This was not an unusual mode of proceeding, and Parliament had recognised such a contract on many previous occa sions. He very much doubted therefore whether any objections of a valid nature were likely to be raised against this undertaking on the ground of the subscrip tion being raised amongst the directors. That the un dertaking came before the shareholders at a very un toward period there could be no question. (Hear, hear.) It did not require that very significant cheer to inform the directors of that fact. With the view of carrying out the wishes of the proprietors, and at the same time of saving their pockets, the directors had felt it to be their imperative duty, as the executive charged with the administration of the affairs bf the company, to endeavour to act in such a way as to tide over the dif ficulties which at present existed, and carry the pro prietors at all events over six months of monetary em barrassment, if such embarrassment should exist so long. —(hear, hear)—and then at the assembling of the Wharneliffe meeting, they would have the opportunity of saying " aye" or "no" to the proposition of the di rectors. (Hear, hear.) But there was another consi deration which ought not to be lost sight of. The di rectors had brought forward this proposition to enable the shareholders to preserve not only their pockets but their honour. (Cheers, and cries of oh, oh.) He did not know whether they desired him to go minutely into the question. (No, no.) Some persons appeared to be so intuitively intelligent that they were aware of what lie was about to say before he had time to make any remark. (Laughter.) He held in his hand a de tailed statement from the engineer showing how he in tended the line to be constructed, the cuttings, em bankments, tunnels, &e., but as the matter had been so much sifted, and a great portion of the line passed over the same country as the Devon and Dorset project, he thought the meeting would not require him to go ur ther i.ito that part of the question. (Cries of no, no, and tell us the cost.) The cost was the main question, and that depended upon the mode in which the line was to be constructed. The engineer adhered to the statement which he had given, and Mr, Brassey adhered to the terms on which hela,d offered to construct the line in May last. This question had been represented as arising from the policy of the board as a body distinct from the shareholders, and almost opposed to them. Now, in February last, when he had the honour of ad. dressing the shareholders, he laid it down as a broad prin ciple of railway ma nagement, in which hi s co ll eagues con curred, that boards were too frequently in the habit of taking to themselves credit for the policy w hi c h was adopted by the shareholders, thereby not only obtain ing credit for success, but justly incurring censure for failure. He then stated that he thought that was not a right principle of action, that the proper course for the board to take was to lay down their views and oni-) nions, to make lucid statements, to give the sharehold ers full information on every point, and having done - so, to leave the responsibility upon the shareholders alone. (Hear, hear.) That was the principle laid down by the directors in their report in 111ay. They said they had no wish to make further extensions ; but that, in con sequence of the aggressions made upon their territory and property, they were under the necessity of making the proprietors acquainted with the circumstances, and of giving them an opportunity of deciding, not whether the directors should act, but whether the shareholders themselves would act—(hear, hear)—and, in concluding their report, the directors stated that they had to re mind the proprietors that the opportunity for action had arrived, and that the decision and responsibility must thenceforth rest with themselves. (Hear, hear.) The directors now stood on their trial for the course they had taken. There were two points at issue—the one concerned the construction or non-construction of the line upon the terms submitted to the proprietors—a matter of great importance to every one present ; the other concerned a matter likewise important to them age i The ' SECRETARY then read the fol:owing report from Messrs. Quilter and Ball : " 57, Coleman-street, N0v.12, 1853. " Sir,—Having investigated the matter of a certain statement made by the directors of the London and South Western Railway Company, in their report t o th e special general meeting held ou the 10th May, 1853, namely, that the traffic on the Southampton and Dorchester branch yielded in the year 1852 a profit equal to 31 per cent. on the outlay, we have to report, as the result of our investigation, that the st a t emen t i n question is entirely borne out by the facts and figures as found in the hooks, and elucidated by the authentic calculations of the re sponsible officers of the company. "Further—regard being had to the private explanation stated to have been given by the chairman to the meeting, of the non-inclusion in the amount of outlay of any sum for rolling stock, and also to the object for which it was made, namely, the furnishing of data to assist the meeting in forming an opinion of the policy of the extension to Exeter—the integrity and pertinence of the dire c t ors ' statement becomes yet more clearly apparent. " Time will n o t p erm i t us to go into a lengthened expla nation of details in support of this conclusion, nor do we think that course necessary, seeing that such an explana tion has been already arrived at by competent parties, and rendered to the proprietors in clear and intelligible terms through the columns of Herapatles Journal, and also in the form of a pamphlet circulated amongst the proprietors by Captain Moorsom. " But should detailed explanations be required, we shall be prepared to furnish them, either in writing or otherwise. "It may be useful, however, to refer to the committee's circulars to the shareholders, dated 19th October, for the sake of comparing the net result pat forward therein with that alleged by the directors : and after showing the difference between the two, to briefly point out what ap pear to be the inaccuracies in the statement of the com mittee, the adoption of which has led to the erroneous con clusions at which they have arrived. The net earnings, according to the coin rnitteo, amounted, in 1852, to e16,121 0 0 According to the estimate of the board, 206 4 0 0 they amounted to Difference 0 0 This difference is accounted for and disposeloYo l 3 n a con sideration and correction of certain items =eluded by the committee in their statement of working expenses, which ought not to have been so included.

' Interest on plant " This charge has no existence in fact, and is a greatly exaggerated sum, assumed to meet the omission from the outlay for the line of any sum for rolling stock. The cor rect course would have been to have included a fair sum in the outlay for that object, and to the extent of that su b , to have increased the amount of capital entitled to dividend. Management, tarpaulins, repairs of stations, law, printing, and some other items are putdown a' • f various sums, amounti ng an examination o f together to 400/. ; these items demonstrates their amount to be greatly exaggerated.
