MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITLEii 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 qoetety, 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 cases 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 consequenc 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, from which no grade of society is ree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply en arded by the ureat success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the are 01 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 1/., and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF .PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Benerative Debi lit, ,illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and fee mibing in detail the various disorders resulting fro r secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct ieseription of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in Fm lish, FIPTIch, Spanish, butch, Italian, or German.

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 sirni ar undertakings. The spirit of adventure is 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 recommendation of Mr. Cardwell's committee, did not induce the con fident belief that the Legislature will hereafter so direct all further outlay in railway construction, as to maintain a due regard to existing railway interests in connection with the convenience of districts hitherto imperfectly supplied with railway accommodation. It may, however, be the duty of the directors to enter more fully upon this subject as the session aP proaches. Whilst experience suggests extreme against encumbering the company with unremun rating branch lines, yet it becomes most,_ ,„ . ca.utioen, im portant to discriminate what is eligible i o t' refusal to teat and advance its interests. A genera l , do anything would reject the considera . ti o o the corn the end might prove to be highly conducive with i the main toof what in pany's welfare, and intimately connected tenance of its property. The exercise m atter for the utmost discrimina tion and judgment is at this momen t , the 185 care.

The directors wish to remind you that, in the proposed plan of last year for making the Lewisham and Bromley line, with an extension to Croydon, on joint account with the Brighton Company, the cost would have been 240,0001, The extension to Croydon would h ave b een 3 miles in length, and it was proposed on that occasion to have widened a portion of the existing line on the London side of Lewisham viaduct for the mutual advantage of both oompanies, and those world would lay. cot 104,0001.

There are about 150 kilns in the neighuourhood of the lime district, producing at pre , ent about 500,000 tons of line annually (4-sths cf which are carried northwards), and many coal pits producing upwards of 500,000 tons; and for a very large portion of this produce the proprietors of the lime-kilns and coal pits would gladly avail themselves of this railway, as a means of transit to the upper parts of Carmarthen hire and Pem• brokeshire, and the whol • of the county of Cardigan, as well as to Kidwelly, l'embrey, and I.lanelly ; and from statistics carefully prepared by this company, the directors feel justified in asserting, that at least 100,000 tons of coal for burning lime would be conveyed at 1 54 d. per ton per mile a distance of six miles at least on the line, and that at least 400.000 tons of lime, and 250,000 tons of coal and cu!m for domestic use, would be conveyed every year at per mile an average distance o; 30 miles, and these quantities would be great.) , increased fr .112 year to year, to soy nothing o' any coal or steaming purposes brought down to be shipped at Pembrey Docks and Milford Haven, or elsewhere. That the traffic in coal and lime would be borne over this line there can be no doubt, as it will save the consumer at least 75 per cent. in cost of carriage and turnpikes ; and as the cost of the lime and coal at the pits is trifling compared to the cost of carriage at a distance of 20 miles and upwards, it follows that, with the same out lay as at present, the farmer will be enabled to increase irs consump tion of lime many times beyond that at present, to his own benefit and that of the burners. There are nearly 2,000 square miles of land in the counties of Car marthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke, the greater portion of which is cultivated or capable of cultivation. The nature of the soil requires lime as a manure, the major part bf which lime, as well as the neces sary supply of coals for its manufacture, and for domestic purposes, coming from one district of the line of the proposed mineral branch, where only it is to be obtained, is at present conveyed by horses waggons, and cats, at an average expense to the purchaser of tid. 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 Carmarthenshire would greatly increase with the facility of ob taining it a comparttivelA small cost There are many millions of eak, larch, flr, and other trees in the neighbourhood of this line,,at present of but small value • but on its construction, and when means exist f or th e i r economical transit, they would find a ready and remunerative market. The traffic in wheat, barley, oats, flour, black cattle, sheep, and pigs has increased so much within the last four years, that it is esti mated that from these articles alone a considerable awn per annum would be receivable for4ransit. The carriage of merchandise from the various manufactories and wholesale houses in England to the shopkeepers of Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, and the upper part of Pembrokeshire, is also an item not to be overlooked. Present traffic in lime to Cardiganshire and the upper parts of Carmarthenshlre and Pembrokeshire, con veyed on an average a distance of thirty miles, at I per ton per mile (in lieu of 6d. to Is. per mile, the present expense), is calculated to produce..•. . £75,000 0 0 Cohn to burn the lime carried to the lime-kilns, an average distance of six miles, I%d. per ton per mile, or 9d. per ton .................. 3,750 0 0 Coal and calm conveyed on an average the same dis . tance as the lime-- ••• •-. • • • • 46,875 0 0 Cattle traffic, including black cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs, calculated to produce a revenue of, per an num : • 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.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRITRY - LANE. Lessee, Mr. E. T. SMITH. Messrs. HERNANDEZ and EATON STONE, Directors of the Grand Equestrian Company, beg respectfully 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 are not desirous of parading their efforts to please, but they feel that it would 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. mnith 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 Great Western and South Wales Railway Companies, and patronised by the Corpo rations of Cardigan, Carmarthen, and Kidwellv, and the principal magistrates, landowners, and gentlemen of influence interested in the several counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke, will form a direct broad-guage communication between London and the important seaport and town of Cardigan ; embracing, also, the inter vening towns of Kidwelly, Carmarthen, Llandyssil, and Newcastle bmeans of the South Wales and Great Western route ; an by branch lines of railway from Carmarthen and Kidwelly, it will connect the important mineral districts of the Van, Capel, Crw ban, and Graigbicca districts of lime kilns, and Cro is- hands and Gorsgoch district of coal pits, with Ridwelly, Carmarthen, Landyssil, New castle Emlyn, and Cardigan, so as to bring both lime and coal to its se connexioncotintry bordering wththe on souththe river T vales, v y a laet of a Neath,era M and cos other t, rail ways, a andb i ways, to take back he' agricultural produce of that part of the coun trymc'd to the iron works and other good markets. This is, therefore, emphatically the farmers' and landowners' line. In addition to the foregoing b important objects, there i imp s one rov of g reat national interest proposed y this Company, viz.—the 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 carried 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 ftom the south, and to Bristol and other ports from the north, evidenced by the fact that upwards of 14,000 ships, on an average of five hundred tens each, annually sail through the Bay of Cardigan, and pass by the mouth of the port, not one of which 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 Sheringham, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, expressly pointed out the advantages possessed by Cardigan ever any other place or port in that bay. The propo-ed Harbour of Renge is inten ed to be constructed close to Renames 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 Rehrge. The numerous and valuable supplies of coal, lime, and other qaar 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 corn. lotion of this undertaking will a'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 snpply o the metropolis and manufacturing districts of England and Wales ; the importation of various descriptions of provisions alone from Ireland exceeding 150,00 tons every year. The through traffic, and the conveyance of tourists and travellers, upon which many railways depend almost entirely, will likewise form an additional source of remuneration ; the rivers and scenery of this Trirt 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 Conwil, Llandyssil, and Newcastle Emlyn, to Cardigan and the proposed harbour at the mouth of the Tivy ; thus there will be a continuous line from London to Cardigan without break of gauge. The mineral branch will join the passenger ling at Carmarthen, and proceed by way of Lianddarog, Porthyrhyd, and Mausel's Arms, to Cross-hands and Gorsgoch (where it will .:.hut on the incline of the Llandilo and Lianelly Railway), with another branch from the Mansel's Arms, under the various lime rocks to Van, and thence to Kidwelly.. , here it will again unite with the South' Waks Railway; thus a ffordine three several exits to the int , era] troftic, and accom modating the whole of the lower part of i 'armarthenshire, in addi thon ho the country on the main line. the gradients on all parts of the line and its branches are so easy that none of them will exceed 1.1:02e on ae F.ontst Walei RE4lway, and tee put £134,625 0 0 Deduct for working expenses 45 per cent. from gross receipts, or . ....... ••• • • • • ....., „ „...... 60,581 0 0 Leaves a net income of .......... —•• •• .......... £74,044 0 0 Or equal to a dividend of nearly 7% per cent. per annum on the capital of the Company. It wi►l be observed that whilst the cattle, wheat, &c. traffic is put at an extremely low estimate, no allowance whatever is calculated for passenger traffic 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 close 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 subscriptions, upwards of 250,0001. have already been sutscribed 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. Applications for shares to be made to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company ; to the Solicitors, Messrs. Carnsow and Co„ Ray mond-buildings, Gray's•inn ; as also to the Broker, J. It.

E NGLISH 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, but English Inter ference must be required. The elements of the present war are palpable enough in the City and in the country. The grand northern ' foe has declared his hostilities, and opened a regular siege on the constitutions of the British subjects, by Fogs, Damp, Rain, and Frost, moving in consolidated masses, or dispersed in irregular troops under the command of General Winter. To meet these inhospitable in vaders, E. MOSES and SON have marshaled an in omparablo army of Overcoats, pales t -As, Wrappers, &c., &c., of sufficient force to destroy the antagonistic influence of the elements, and to act as Life and comfort Gua 'do on unnambercd thousands; and the re nowned artillery of their strong, neat, and substantially-made win ter Coats, Vests, sand Trousers, will entirely subdue the capturing powers of colds, whose penal settlements are rheumatics and all the ills of the Winter Season. army of reserve is just made up by E. , 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 millions of Light Infantry, in Children's and Youths' Attire, most magnificently bring us the rear of Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-three. Victory will be consolidated by the best Understandings which ever existed —a Stock of Boots and Ahoes of unparalleled quality and cheapness ; and the crowning of these victorious powers will be at the establish ments of E. MO'ES and SON, the largest, best, and cheapest stock of Hats and Caps being prepared for the purpose. The event will he celebrated by a vast selection of Hosiery Goods, Furs, Shawls, Ladies' Cloaks, &c., &c. ; and in superabundant satisfaction every one exclaims, " Long live the Q ueen , an d prosperity to all her subjects."

BLASTING OF CLIFF AT DOVER.—It is calculated that nearly 200,000 tons of chalk will be removed from the overhanging summit of the cliff beyond Athol-terrace, which is shortly to be blasted. 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. This has led the owners of the pro perty in the neighbourhood to devise means to obviate the recurrence of such an accident, and the process of blast ing appears the most favourable, if not the only practical measure that can be adopted. The excavation, which is still going on, is t o ex t end to a distance of sixty five feet within the solid body of the cliff, and to consist of three cavities, each of which will be charged with Forty-five feet was already dug in the early P °rti° t h e the present week, and it was then calculated that__ .a _ s. whole excavation would be completed in about is about a Y about The subterranean passage thus exca va T con fidently I 100 feet from the summit of the cliff, and e ft e l et effect of dislodg anticipated that the blast will have the it, which is com ing the whole of the huge mass above Should this ope powndecri_ puted at the quantity above indi.csaearn earnestly to be hoped ration have a successful issue, sight willof.

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 submit 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 20,0001. to cover the liabilities of the company. Mr. aids, the contractor, rose, and stated that three times the former amount would not by any means be sufficient for that purpose. Mr. DOWLING, after commenting severely upon the general bad management and most unsatisfactory re turns from their property, moved the following a men d_ went --" That the committee appointed at the speci a l re-appointed,meeting h eld in a Lon h d a o on tn they t h h a e v l e 2 p th o w o e f r Octobe r t omake l ast be such inquiries as they may deem necessary in regard to the traffic arrangements, and generally into the whole affairs of the company, and that they report their opi nion thereon to the shareholders." Mr. GODDARD seconded the amendment. Mr. BATES protested against the amendment, and n r e o s t ia je k r e y d e t n h c a o t ur t ain h g est g a:us quo of th e co mpany, though was an improvement onthe past, and ascribed all the existing evils to their having a very indifferent contractor, who sublet the work at miserably low prices. Mr. 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 theamend ment being carried he should feel himself obliged to retire from the board of directors, as he considered an imput ?tion 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. Tile report was then agreed to. A vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to th• chairman, after which the meeting broke up. HEALTH oP LONDON DURING THE WEER. ( 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 registered 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., 38.5 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 f/2 to 124. Phthisis was fatal in the two weeks respectively in 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 carried off 744, or 215 persons more than in the former. But the epidemic, beginning at an earlier sea- son in 1853, 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. The following is a comparative statement of the mor tality of the districts supplied by the different water com panies. It should be promised that tho average eleva tion of the metropolis above the Trinity water mark ia 30 feet, and that the mortality from cholera during the thirteen weeks ending November 10 has been 30 to every 100,000 inhabitants.
