As a Mild Aperient, it Is admirably adapted for Delicato Females particulary during Pregnancy ; and it prevents the food of infanta from turning sour during digestion. Combined with the ACIDULATED LEMON SYRUP, it forms an Effervescing Aperient Draught, which is highly agreeable and efficacious. Prepared by DINNEFORD and Co., Dispensing Chen lists (and leneral Agents for the Improved Horse Hair Gloves!). nd Belts), 172, New Bond-street, London, and sold by all respectable Chemists throughout the Empire. APP N' PAR B S IT S TER S. ALE L S L ha S ve ° been unque S st O ionab S l; vouclL E by O the most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, to be " a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the inva lid and the robust; and as tending, from the pure and wholesome nature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter derived from hors alone, which they contain, to pre serve the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the restoration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or irritability." In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meet the de.. sired effect more certainly, none arc prescribed with more contidenr,e by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fennen tatior, is conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account the- r do not occasion that acidity of stomach created by the less perfectly fer mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara tions of malt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter, thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently mot a) easy o f digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a wi no of Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is ♦ery sa tisfactory to find that a beverage of such general consumpt ion is en tirely free from every kind of impurity."

So., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that tho se w h o may place themselves under his care will, in every i nstance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these eases.

Aqua se habla Espanol THE GOLD FIELDS OF NEW SOUTH WALES. The first news of the discovery of gold in our Australian colonies came to us from Sydney, and in the commencement of the emigration movement the stream of adventurers from this country was directed to the coasts of New South Wales. The goldfields of that province, which for a few months excited so mach interest, awakened so many hopes, and attracted so many eager and empty hands, have within the last year dwindled into the shade, eclipsed, as they were, by the richer treasures and the all but fabulous returns which wore obtained by the gold-seekers in the colony of Victoria. As the fame of Mount Alexander and Ballarat spread, these favoured localities attracted not only the crowds of fresh emigrants which just then poured in from England and America, but the very miners on the Sydney fields left the holes they had sunk and the claims they had paid for, and, shouldering their pickaxes and cradles, marched away to Vic toria the Eldorado of the antipodes. As the ranks of the miners became thinner, and the popu lation at the diggings which ministered to their wants dwindled away, the yields of the New South Wales mines, though very satisfahcory to the diggers, made but a poor figure in the escort re turns by the side of the thousandvd qunces of gold that were collected by the vast mining popu lation of Victoria. When Mount 4.lBxand.er sent its weekly 80,000 ounces, the TIOn sent per haps a few hundred, but the for#er enormous quantity represented the 'gains of I 80,000, and even 100,000 miners, while the miners on the New South Wales fields, few and far between as they were came in for larger proportions of the smaller yield. Certain it is that New South 1 Wales, with a large mining population, would 1 beenu to the present p wo rked, and the old diggings only have soon show a different aspect. few discoveries made, not because there are not auriferious regions of great richness besides those already discovered, but simply v h because the miners, doing well where they are, hav e the area of their operations and e o lose their time by "prospecting." How vast a field for labour and enterprise that colony still presents will best be seen from a condensed review though as yet they have not fields, and the regions where of the Sydney gold has been found, fields is that of Ophir.

The yield lumps, some of of gold on the Turon has been, in many instances,B most extraor dinary. In several cases from qto 100 ounces per day, and for several days together, have been obtained by parties of three and four; while others took from 20 to 50 ounces. The average daily gain of such parties would appear to range between 5 and 15 ounces. The gold has been obtained in ' equal quantities in the bed of the river and on th e and slopes in the vicinity. The dry banks , by many diggings on the banks of the Turon are considered to be comparatively exhausted. Others hold a different opinion. As long u there large population on the Turon , the spirit of enter prise a constantly developed new ground, andfreshdiscoveries only ceased when few w ere l e f t to con tend for the honour and profit of making Rich dry diggings have recently been them. discovered on the slope of a hill near Sofala, at a place which had before been burrowed up by miners who would not take the trouble of sinking their holes deep enough. There is a vast field for mining enterprise at the Turon, both on the river iiself and on the table-land in its vicinity, whence its • tributaries take their rise. Some of these, Big Oakey and Little Oakey creek especially, have yielded a large amount-of gold. Along the B athurst-road gold has been found, and at W 11 ill -11 . , c Yagde midway between the village of Wyagden and the T uron , " successful operations " hav e l;keen commenced. There are tracts of many miles xtent alon g the Turon, which, although known auriferous, are il as yet untouched. 7 The Braidwood diggings next claim attention. They have hitherto been confined to the Major's and Bell's creeks, which flow over the table-land above the valley of Araluen, at the distance of about 10 miles from Braidwood, on the eastward of the dividing range of mountains. The gold is here found in the decomposed granite, at least so the local geologists say. The diggers amount to 500, who earn quite as much as the diggers on the Turon. The gold is fine and very pure, but the re sources of this part of the country have been only , very partially developed. About 30 miles north of the Turon are the Meroo diggings. The Meroo is a river somewhat resem , blinff the Turon in its general features. Large de posits of gold have been found in its banks and bars, OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, rall*lall, Jan. 5, 1853.

" It must be inferred from all this that the regulation so extolled, that the laurel with which, among other laurels the brows of the Minister of Finance will have to be adorned, has been one of those matters which may be reckoned among the worst conceived within memory. So ill conceived, indeed, that however much favoured by circumstances, we shall not succeed in obtaining the end proposed, viz., the procuring of credit until this ugly blot shall have disappeared, until accomplishing what utility and justice both equally ordained, we shall have acceded to the well-founded claims of those who have suffered a diminution of one-half their capital by the arbitrary decision of a man who had no right to deprive them of what did not belong to him. "We will at another time dwell upon the rise which these values have had since the regulation, in order to demonstrate that this phenomenon is explicable by causes which have nothing whatever to do with the wisdom and acuteness of the Minister, who, rather than have resorted to such a measure, should have been content to undergo every inconvenience " THE LAKE DISTRICT-THE LATE STORM ON THE BANKS OF WINDERMERE. The following extracts from a letter, dated Winder mere, Jan. 1, will enable all who have visited the lakes to form an idea of the effect of the late gales in that in teresting district :—" I am sorry to say that the weather here is anything but agreeable ; the rains falls continu ally, and in a downright steady manner, which leaves but little hope of its abatement. Within the last month the rain in this locality has fallen 10i inches—greater in extent than any on record. On Monday last, and on Christmas-day, the storms in this part were most terrible ; such, in fact, was the force of the wind, that trees which had stood the `battle and the breeze' for centuries lay broken up and scattered. At the Ferry Hotel six of the fine old cherry trees are down. Numbers of the old tenants of Belle Isle have also fallen; and here, in Elleray, sixty trees were blown down in a few hours. Houses in all directions are unroofed, our own being among the unfor tunates. I hear bad tidings from the coast-close at hand. Milnthorpe and Sandside, together with Lyth Mea throp, &c., have all more or less witnessed scenes of death and destruction. The bodies of eleven poor sailors were washed on the beach (so I hear), near Sandside ; and all along the coast to Workington and Maryport is strewed with wrecks of every description, lying at the mercy of the winds aid waves. Many farmers in the low end of the valleys running towards the coast are en tirely ruined, their sheep and cows, &c., having perished in the waters. I know parties acquainted with a family who spent seven hours during the storm of Monday last on the top of their own house, and saw their cattle carried away to death by scores. They lost upwards of a hundred sheep ; they were with difficulty rescued in a boat. Two lads were overtaken by the rising of the waters, and took refuge on a peat stack. Thinking it rather insecure they dropped off and got into a large birch tree close at hand. The waters ruse rapidly, and the stack was washed away before their eyes. They re mained in the tree for six hours, and were rescued almost in a dying state. Every valley has its tale of woe and destruction. God help them !" CHILD MIIRDER.—Ou the sth inst., Margaret Bell was brought up before Lord Cockburn, accused of the crime of child murder. From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner, who had been in service, left her em ployment, and was delivered of a female child in the house of a woman named M`Guire, in Paisley. She left about a fortnight afterwards, taking the child along with her, which was in perfect health at the time. On the following morning—viz., the 17th of November, the body of the child was found in the pond or dam, at Crofthead Bleachfield, in the parish of Neilston. The woman had been previously observed in the neighbour hood. There was a string or piece of muslin tight round the infant's throat. When apprehended by the officer, she admitted that she had drowned the child. The jury brought in a verdict finding the prisoner guilty of mur der, but recommended her to mercy on account of her destitute condition. Lord Cockburn sentenced the pri soner to be hanged at Paisley, on the 26th of January. The prisoner is 30 years of age.

The life-boat was at length, with great difficulty, manned (owing to the accident in October), and proceeded at a rapid rate against a gale right ahead. A considerable portion of the course to the ship lay through breakers of a most formidable character— the crew say, to use their own words, "that she was quite buried in three in stances but that she immediately emptied herself." The ship, a large one, was pitching jibboom under, though in the best trim, being outwardbound ; they were able to hoard her notwithstanding, and supplied them with a man, which enabled the ship finally to leave this dan gerous coast. THE REFUGEE TURNED EMPEROR.—With the recent changes in his position, Louis Bonaparte appears to have somewhat modified his ideas concerning the propriety of harbouring refugees in a state. The Augsburg Gazette, under date of Berlin, 2d, says :—" France will not for the future receive any foreign refugees. The authoriti es of Schildberg (Posen) having expelled two refugees, and given theni a passport to France, the French ambassa dor at our court declared to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the name of -his Government, that for the future no foreigners of th a t ca t egory w ill b e received in France. The Minister of the Interior has, in conse quence, given formal ord ers no t to deliver e a m ny amlr passports for Fra nce t o P o li s h refugees." We to see M, Bonaparte change his opinions yet again, We have the greatest satisfaction in giving 4currency to an official announcement to the effect that 11 (r. Engle due, the able and indefatigable superintendeot of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co rapany's establishment and fleet at Southampton, has been restored to the rank he formerly held in the Royal' ser vice—a lieutenant in the navy. This officer had se.rved long and honourably in various ships. He had worked out his promotion, after much arduous service as mate, to the rank of lieutenant—he had recommendations frd.za all his superior officers, (Sir Watkin 0. Pell, Sir Charles Napier, Sir Thomas Hastings, Sir Richard Grant, and Rear-Admiral Corry amongst the number), and good wishes from his messmates ; he continued to serve as &- lieutenant in various ships ' • taught himself the science of naval gunnery, was one o f the first officers of the Ex cellent establishment, and went to other ports to initiate other ships' companies. At length, when he saw so many juniors of inferior claims being daily promoted ` Mr. Engledue naturally looked for his advancement as the reward of his long, faithful, and valuable afloat ser vices, and accordingly applied for it. Mr. Engledue, however, was too valuable a man in those days to be any other than a first lieutenant, and so he continued on the list without promotion. Opportu nities, however, very soon offered to Lieutenant Engle due to better his condition—a richer, if not a more honourable, prospect opened to him in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Company. Mr. Engledue was offered a command of one of their best steamers, and without waiting for the sanction of the Admiralty, he accepted it. But the Admiralty determined not to lose sight of so excellent an officer, and ordered him to join a man-of-war. Mr. E. respectfully deprecated the ap pointment to a lieutenant's position, seeing that he had earned his rank, and begged for leave, but their lord ships were inexorable; and, we believe, more for example than from any strong feeling against him, struck him dff the list. Mr., then Captain, Engledue, with the commiseration of all his friends, pursued his career in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service ; and after commanding ships in the Mediterranean, and filling responsible posts in Egypt and India, he returned some years ago to Southampton, and succeeded the late Lieutenant Kendal, as the company's superintendent. But though separated from the Royal Navy by a cruel and hasty ex cision, it was impossible for him to forget the service in which he was cradled, and in which he founded his repu tation as a seaman and an officer ; and he naturally looked forward to the time when justice would be done to his merits and his claims, and he would again be en iel*ted.ttrinok upowlrinwen4irßoyal naval officer. The day has come at last, and we are quite sure a greater act of justice was n ever p er f orme d t h an this restoration. We know not whether we may attribute the restora tion to the old or the new board, but whichever it may be, it has earned the thanks of hundreds of good men, and the measure will have an effect on the steam-packet mail service, which will bear good fruit to the nation should an emergency arise for the services of so valuable an auxiliary as the mail contract steam force. If the Duke of Northumberland has had any hand in it, we may remark that this one good act will silence many a reflection, and it will be hailed as a mark of generous appreciation of the services of a hard-working but ne glected brother officer. If the restoration is one of Sir James Graham's first official acts, it will be regarded as an augury of good, which will go far to remove the feeling of uneasy apprehension which at present exists in the navy at the changes at the Admiralty. We cannot help thinking that Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8,5 of the past as well as the present board, must have helped the restoration, for no one will d ou bt th a t, if his prom o ti on was rapid, he is fully capable of estimating, as he is ever anxious to reward, the ability of those who had not his good luck. Moreover, the gallant admiral was a good dockyard superintendent, and if he ever visited South ampton he must have been struck with the efficient and admirable superintendence of Captain Engledue, for there he was port admiral, admiral superintendent, store keeper, accountant, and harbour-master, shipwright, joiner, Custom-house agent, and everything else ; and working cordially with the superintendent engineer, Mr. Lamb, he conducted the business of the great company to which he was attached with that system, order, regu larity, dispatch, and economy, which cannot be sur passed. These services were naturally a recommendation to Vice-Admiral Parker, as we know they were to his predecessor, Vice-Admiral Dundas. Again, the restora tion of such a man is what might be expected from Sir Phipps Hornby, Sir Thos. Herbert, Captain Duncombe, and Captain Milne, and if these had little voice in the matter, then we cannot help thinking that it was to Admiral Berkeley's generous assistance that Captain Engledue owes his recovered rank. Admiral Berkeley is a gunnery officer, and he must have been well acquainted with Lieutenant Engledue's gunnery services. Admiral Berkeley was a member of the com mittee on the steam navy, and he must have admired the open, manly, frank, and intelligent evidence of Mr. Engledue, and the officer-like and practical suggestions which he made for converting the mercantile steam-ves sels into auxiliary squadrons, for the purposes of war on an emergency. Moreover, Admiral Berkeley has given a great deal of attention to the condition of the seamen, and to the question of manning the navy, and he could not be ignorant of Captain Engledue's success in man ning the Peninsular and Oriental Company's powerful • fleet with the best seamen in the world, and that he has in the course of the last four or five years contributed largely towards manning the ships of the Royal Navy ; and not only that, but at his own expense, he commenced a system of training the packet-service men to the use of ships' guns, and created amongst them such a feeling of regard for the Royal service as to enable him to answer for their services in the event of hostilities. On all grounds, and from any hands, th en , we accep t the restoration olLieutenant Engledue to the Navy List as a mark of justice to neglected claims—as an indication of an improved feeling among the rulers of the navy to wards officers of what we may call the auxiliary service; and further, we hail the act as a step in that necessary " progress" towards consolidating the naval strength of this great maritime country. We heartily trust that the next step after the restoration will be the long-earned promotion of Lieut. Engledue to the rank of com mand er. —Morning 'Jerald. The new Board of Admiralty entered upon their du ties at Whitehall yesterday. We hear that Captain O'Brien will be succeeded as private secretary to the First Lord, by Captain Graham, of the Royal Artillery. Some surprise is felt that the Ajax, 58, screw guard ship, at Queenstown, has not yet filled up her comple ment, from 250 to 500. She has been at Queenstown now about six weeks, and has only entered 100 blue jackets. We used to get a good supply of boys and men from the Irish coast. PORTSMOUTH, J AN. 7. Notwithstanding the wind got up to N.N.W. last evening, and the stars looked unusually bright, the wind backed again to the southward at four a.m., this day, and commenced a gale which lasted till three p.m., cutting off all communication with the shore, and at in tervals raining a perfect deluge. Bulldog, 6, steam-sloop, went out of harbour at 10 a.m., and continued under steam until one p.m., when she re turned, having had ample opportunity of testing her powers against so fierce a gale. Simoom, 18, iron-screw steam troop-frigate, Captain Kingcome, will go out of harbour at daylight to-morrow morning (Saturday), direct for Cork. Medea, 6, steam-sloop, Commander J. C.
