It is abeolutely 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 he removed, and how the evil and its consequene es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged n 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 the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, ftom which no grade of society is ree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply evarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the are of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of 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 H., and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA J MERT should first obtain a copy 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.

It will be observed that whilst the cattle, wheat, &c. traffic is put at an extremel low estimate, no allowance whatever is calculated for passenger t r affic or harbour dues from the port of Cardigan—facts which cannot fail to strike the most casual observer. The working expenses, on the contrary, are assessed at the highest estimate known on any line. The result must be found in the decreased cost of construction, the fruit of a does attention to the expenditure of similar undertakings In former years. Public meetings have been held in the various towns along the course of the intended Railway, and without the cost of advertise ments or other usual means of obtaining subscriptiens, upwards of 250,0001. have already been subscribed in the country districts. The plans, sections, and books of reference are ready, and will be deposited in ample time to comply with the standing orders.

There are nearly 2.000 square miles eland in the counties of Car marthen, Cardigan, told Pembroke, the greater portion of which is et/riveted or capable of cultivation. The nature 0 the soil requires lime as a manure, the major part of which onse,,ad well as the neces sary supply of coals for its mannfacture, and for domestic purposes, coming from one district of the line of the' proposed mineral breach, where only it is to be Obtained, is at present cony. yed by horses waggons, and cats, at an average expense to the purchaser of6d. to Is. per ton per mile for carriage only; about 300 per cent• more than the charges of the proposed railway. It is also reasonable to suppose that the demand for the local coal, of Carmarihenshire would greatly increase with •the facility of ob taining it a comparatively small cost There are many millions of oak, larch, fir, an titer trees in the neighbourhood of this line, at present of but sin value; but on its 0 construction, and when means exist for their nomical transit, they would find a ready and remunerative 'nuke • ..___,- s . The traffic in wheat, barley , oats, flour, blackitatiltc'elleeP, and matedas increased so much within the last fore years, that it is esti, that from these articles alone a considerable sum per annum would be receivable for transit. The carriage of merchandise from the various manufactories and wholesale houses in England to the shopkespeessof Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, and the upper part of Poubrokeshiref also an item not to be overlooked. Present traffic in lime to Cardiganshire and the uppe r! parts of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, con veyed on an average a distance of thirty miles, at 134 d. per ton per mile (in lieu of 6d. to Is. per mile, the present expense), is calculated to produce.... . £75,000 0 0 Calm to burn the lime carried to the lime-kilns, an average distance of six miles, I %sl. per ton per mils, or 9d. per ton.. • • .. ...... .. 3,75"0 0 0 Coal and culm conveyed on an average the same dis tance as the 1ime....... ••-•• • • • • • Cattle traffic, including black cattle,borses, sheep, and pigs, calculated to produce a revenue of, per an • Wheat, barley, oats, bacon, butter, cheese, poultry, and eggs, conveyed to the lime and coal districts and the iron works and manufacturing districts calculated to produce, with other merchandise, in cluding slates (from the Cardigan slate quarries), bricks, timber, bark, wool, lead ore, fish and mis cellaneous traille, exports and imports, and back carriage ~•• , , ...... .. ••.••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • 6,000 OYSTERS-TO EPIC ORES.

HERNANDEZ and EATON STONE, Directors of the Grand Equestrian Company, beg respectihlly and emphatically to thank their Patrons, :he London Public, for the immense support which has sustained, and therefore induced, their protracted stay at the above-named Royal and National Establishment. They arc not desirous of parading their efforts to please, but they feel that it wield indeed be affectation to veil a fact succeeded by so many vic tories, namely, that heart and soul, i. e , body and mind, have both exerted every faculty to secure approbation and to merit success. All endeavours, however, might have been problematical, or even futile, in the result had they not been aided by the indefatigable spirit of a liberal management. To Mr. E. T. Smith, as a gentleman, a manager, and a lessee, Messrs. H. and S. have to offer their best thanks. Rhetoric is not the province of the rider. Deeds, it is said, are far better than words. The Equestrian can be graphic on horse back, and the Pantomimist grateful in action. Messrs. Hernandez and Stone, with every Member of their Company, will give their ser vices and the total receipts of their last performance to the treasury of their esteemed friend and generous manager, Mr. E. T. Smith. By this arrangement every one of the Corps, from the most exalted artiste to the humblest servitor, will have the honour and the plea sure of contributing to a Demonstration which is solely influenced by that responsive feeling which ever appreciates kindness and reci procates generosity. This pleasing Testimonial will be presented to Mr. Smith by a MORNING PERFORMANCE, on Saturday, Dec. 17, 1853. Positively the last of the Season. The Entertainments will be varied and additional. Messrs. Hernandez and Stone hope to impress a spirit of co-operation on the part of the immediate Friends of Mr. Smith, as well as his approving patrons, the Public ; and let all truthfully say, in a paraphrase of the language of the Bard— " A bumper at parting, though many Have circled our ring since we met; The truest, the fullest of any, Remains to be crowned by us yet."

This Company, which is under the sanction of the G:eat Western and South Waies Railway Companies, and patronised by the Corpo rations of Cardigan, Carmarthen, arid Rldwellc, and the principal magistrates, landowners, and gentlemen of influence interested in the several counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke, will form a direct inaitd-guage communication between London and the important ete.port and town of Cardigan ; embracing, also, the inter vening towns of Kidwelly, Carmarthen, Llandyssil, and Newcastle miyn, by means of the South Wales and Great Western route; and by branch lines of railway from Carmarthen and Kidwelly, It will connect the important mineral districts of the Van, Capel, Crwban, and Graigbicca districts of lime kilns, and Cro hands and Gorsgoch di•ttriet of coal pits, with Kidwelly, Carmarthen, Landyssil, New castle Emlyn, and Cardigan, so as to bring both limo and coal to the country bordering on the river Trey at a moderate cost, and by its connexion with the south Wales, Vale of Neath, and other rail ways, to take back the agricultural produce of that part of the coun try to the Iron works and other good markets. This Is, therefore, emphatically the farmers' and landowners' line. In addition to the foregoing important °elects, there is one of great national interest proposed by this Company, viz —the improv ing the port of Cardigan, and the formation of a Harbour of Refuge in Cardigan Bay for the west coast of Wales, which can be earned out at a comparatively moderate expense. In a commercial and national point of view, the Harbour of Refuge will be of paramount importance, for the dangerous navigation of the Bay of Cardigan, which is the great highway for the American and other traders to Liverpool from the south, and to Bristol and other ports from the north, evidenced by the fact that upwards of 14,000 ships , on t'..n average of five hundred tens each, annually sail through the Ity of Cardigan, and pass by the mouth of the port, not one of 'F'.;ich at present can find shelter, in the event of bad weather, be tween Holyhead and Milford Haven, a distance of upwards of one hundred miles. It will, therefore, readily be seen what an increase of traffic would come into the port of Cardigan, were a Harbour of *Refuge constructed there, and there is every reason to believe that her Majesty's Government will materially aid the carrying out of this object, The surveys made by Captain Sheringbam, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty , expressly pointed out the advantages possessed by Cardigan over any other place or port in that bay. The proceed Harbour of Re'uge is inten cd to be constructed close to Remmes Head. outside the bar, and entirely free from dan ger, having good clay-bottom anchorage, with sufficient space and depth of water, even for ships of the line. The distance between London and Dublin is many miles shorter by Cardigan than by Holyhead, and Cardigan is nearly in the direct line from London to Waterford and Wexford. The extent of the passenger line will be about 40 miles, and the mineral branches about 23 miles (in all about 63 miles), which, at 14,0001. per mile, leaves 118,0001. for the cost of the Harbour of Refuge. The numerous and valuable supplies of coal, lime, and other Oar ries with silver-lead and copper ores, upon the route, would be brought into immediate and close connexion with the manufacturing districts of South Wales, Birmingham. Manchester, and the metro polis ; and the trade in timber for ship-building and other purposes, the growth of which in many parts of the counties of Carmarthen. Cardigan, and Pembroke, has been hitherto almost profitless, will now, with the whole agricultural produce of the district, have ready markets afforded. The comeletion of this undertaking will it'so at once effect the quick transmission of cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, poultry, butter, grain, bacon, and other produce from the south of Ireland, for the supply or the metropolis and manufacturing districts of England and Wales ; the importation of various descriptions of provisions alone from Ireland exceeding 150,000 tons every year. The through traffic, and the conveyance of tourists and travelling, nylon which many railways depend almost entirely, will likewise form an additional source of remuneration ; the rivers and scenery of this part of the country affording abundant attractions to the fisherman and lover of the picturesque. The. distinction which the locality of the Bay of Cardigan has hitherto possessed as a summer retreat for bathing, will also be con siderably enhanced. The starting point for the passenger traffic will be at Carmarthen, by a junction with the south Wales Railway, thence near Conwi!, Llandyssil, and Newcastle Emlyn, to Cardi:an ant the proposed harbour at the mouth of the Tiny; thus there will ba a continuous line from London to Cardigan without break of gauge. The mineral branch will join the passenger line at Carmarthen, and proceed by way of Llanddarog, Porthyrhyd, and Manse's Arms. to Cross-hands and Gorsgoch (where it wtll abut on the incline of the Llandllo and Llanelly Railway), wills another branch from the Manses Anus, under the various lime rocks to Van, and thence to Ridwelly,whee it will again unite with the South Wales Railway thus affording three several exits to the mineral traffic, and amn. the whole of tlie I',wcr part of Carmarthen-hire, in addl. ton !o the country on the main line. the gradients oh alt parts of the line and its branches are so easy that none of them will exceed We on the Eolith Wiles Itullway, and the whole tunnelling put Now Ready, in 2,400 imperial octavo pages, Nice 385., with MAP - _ corrected from recent Surveys, POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 1854.

ENGLISH ASSISTANCE DURING THE PRESENT WAR. Almost all the readers of the daily papers are puzzled to make out the position and prospects of the combatants, bat English inter ference must be required. The elements of the present w are palpable enough in the City and in the country. The grand northern too has declared his hostilities, and opened a regular siege on the canstitutions of the British subjects, by Fogs, Damp, Rain, and Frost, moving in consolidated masses, or dispersed in irregular troops under the comman M d of General Winter. To meet these inhospitable in vaders, E. OSES and SON have marshaled an in omparable army of Overcoats, Paletots, rappers, &c., &c., of sufficient force to destroy the antagonistic influence of the elements, and to act as Life and comfort Guards on unnumbered thousanda ; and the re nowned artillery of their strong, neat, and substantially-made Win ter Coats, Vests, end Trousers, will entirely subdue the capturing powers of colds, whose penal settlements are rheumatics and all the ills of the Winter Season. An army of reserve is just made up by E. v OSES and SON for sale at their Establishment and West-end Branch, consisting of Oxford Blues, Greys, and Mixtures of the most novel, seasonable, and serviceable materials, associated with the most fashionable and accomplished workmanship ; and minions of Light Infantry, in Children's and Youths' Attire, most magnificently bring up the rear of Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-three. Victory will be consolidated by the best Understandings which ever existed —a Stock of Boots and Shoes of unparalleled quality and cheapness ; and thecrovrning of these victorious powers will be at the establish ments of E. MOSES and SON, the largest, best, and cheapest stock of Hats and Caps being prepared for the purpose. The event will be celebrated by a vast selection of Hosiery Goods, Fars, Shawls, Ladies' Cloaks, &c., &c.; and in superabundant satisfaction every one exclaims, " Long live the Queen, and prosperity to all her subjects." CAUTION.—E.

The mass of rock has for a long time exhibited a very threatening appearance • and last season, at the termination of the frosts, the inhabit ants of the locality were very naturally alarmed at a fall of some hundred tons.

The directors feel it unnecessary at present to com ment on each scheme ; the proprietors of the South- Eastern Railway are equally able to estimate their value, and to judge how far the contingencies of the money-mar ket, or the probable course of legislation will affect these and similar undertakings. The spirit of ad ven t ure i s obviously rife. And such a group of schemes about us might excite apprehension, if the resolutions adopted. in the last session of Parliament, on the r ecommendation of Mr. Cardwell's committee, did not i nduce the con fident belief that the Legislature will hereafter so direct all further outlay in railway co nstruction, as to maintain a due regard to existing rail way interests in connection with the convenience odistricta a hitherto lt imperfectly supplied with railw a y ace may, however,, be the d u ty o f the d tio directors o tone.ntei more fully upon this subject as the session ap proaches.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report (which has already appeared), said that the board of di rectors desired to express their disappointment at having to subinit a report of such a discouraging complexion. The returns for the half-year had been small, on account of the break in the line, occasioned by its non-completion as far as the town of Waterford, and from the line itself being as_ yet only a single one, as well as from other. local peculiarities. There must, however, be a consi derable loss of passengers until the terminus of the rail way was advanced to Waterford, since, under present circumstances, persons who were bound for England preferred going straight up to Dublin. Notwithstand ing the drawbacks, the returns for the last few weeks had been, upon the whole, increasing ; and the directors were of opinion that by economy, good management, and strengthening their connections at Kilkenny and Waterford, the affairs of the company would soon wear a more cheering aspect. In reply to a question from Mr. DOWLING, Mr. NIXON, the engineer of the company, said that it would require from 10,000/. to 20,000/. to cover the liabilities of the company. Mr. Ews, the contractor, rose, and stated that three times the former amount would not by any means be sufficient for that purpose. Mr. DOWLlNG,_after commenting severely upon the general bad management and most unsatisfactory re turns from their property, moved the following amend ment ---" That the committee appointed at the special meeting held in London on the 12th of October last be t i r n a q ffi ni c rie a s rr as an t a h e e m y e m nt a s y , re-appointed, and that they have power to make such affairs of th e company, and tghe generally d an ee d m necessary in regard to the nion thereon to th e s h are h o ld ers.

Afr. ELLIS rose in great indignation; but, in com pliance with the general wish of the meeting, he re sumed his seat. The CHAIRMAN stated that in the event of the amend. ment being carried he should feel himself obliged t o retire from the board of directors, as he considered au imputation was cast upon their integrity and fitness. After some further discussion, Mr. DOWLING with. drew his amendment for the time being, but stated his determination to bring it forward again at the next meeting unless the report then submitted should furnish less ground for animadversion. The report was then agreed to. A vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to the chairman, after which the meeting broke up. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From, the Registrar• General's Report) The Registrar-General's report announces that the mortality of the metropolitan districts has risen consi• derably during the week. In the preceding week the deaths reg istered were 1,162 ; in the week that ended on Saturday last they were 1,339. The mean weekly tem perature has suffered a great fall. In the last week of October it was 55.5 deg ., in the four weeks that followed it was 48.9 deg., 45.7 deg., 35.5 deg., and (last week) 36.7 deg. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number of deaths was 1,093, which, raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,202. There is an excess in last week's return, amounting to 137. Diseases of the respiratory organs have suddenly be come more fatal ; they rose from 180 in the preceding to 297 in the last week ; in this class bronchitis rose from 68 to 134, pneumonia from 92 to 124. Phthisis was fatal in the two weeks respectively iu 133 and 166 cases. Cholera, it is gratifying to observe, subsides, and last week was fatal to only 46 persons. In the first fourteen weeks of the epidemic of 1848.49 (reckoning from Ist October), it destroyed 529 persons ; in the same number of weeks of the present attack, commencing 21st August, it has earned off 744, or 215 persons more than in the former. But the epidemic, beginning at an earlier sea son in 1653, the mean temperature has been on an ave rage 5 deg. higher, and making allowance for this cir cumstance, there does not appear any sufficient ground to conclude that .the distemper now prevailing is of a more virulent character that of 1848.
