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 Boeiety, 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 limed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience In the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Comititntional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are priniples of personal management which cannot be violated without incu c rring 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 con4equenc 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 in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the are of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated uhlications, asturied foreignnames and titles, and pretended virtues f 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 initiala or address.

T o thi s c i rcumstance, it' is said, that the resident owes his life, although there are many who consider the entire affair immensely exagge rated ; however, the sentry, shortly after hearing the noise, saw a man un d er t h e portico of the esi dency, who quickly returned accompanied by another, and instead of seizing, or at least chal lenging the strangers, which, as a sentry, we pre sume lie was bouuSto do, the sepoy entered into con versation with them, when, accordi ng to hi s own account, they offered him 5000 rupees to point out to them where the Resident was sleepin g . • The sentry, startled at this proposition, retreated to wards his musket, which was in a distant corner, and, upon this one of the two men dr ew . f or th a pistol, cocked it, and still urged the sepoy to com.: ply, but he having by this time regained his fire lock, discharged it at his tempters, when within 20 paces of them, and fai!ed to bring either of theni down ; thou the alarm became general, the men escaped in the confusion, and in examination it was found that the colonel's premises had unquestion ably been entered. Such are the facts of this strange case, and we have only to add that the sepoy has been promoted for his incorruptibility. _ The night_ after the-affair-an-old-soldier deserted' from the re-- sidency guard, and has not since been heard of, and after all, it is not utterly impossible that the said old soldier may have been the Colonel's nocturnal visitor, and that his object was other than to take the life of the resident ; his desertion in that ease is accounted for on the score of fear of detection, while at present, no one can suggest a motive for the man's taking French leave, and making us a present of the pension he would have been entitled to shortly. The camp, of the ConAuanderat-chief moved from Kalka at the commencement of this month, and on the 18th will be at Delhi, from whence it proceeds to Agra, visiting Meerut en route. We regret to state that our obituary in cludes Sir Theophilus Metcalfe, the Commissioner at Delhi, who died on the 3d inst. at seven o'clock p.m., without any signs of pain, and seemed to pass away in sleep. We also regret to state that the cholera has made its appearance in Bombay, and up to this date the deaths have been 275. As in England, so here, the majority of deaths occur in the most neglected districts, thus at Omercarry, an undrained and particularly dirty village, more than two-thirds of the above number of deaths occurred. We are con cerned to say that the disease appears steadily to increase ; no doubt the cold weather will do much to purify the atmosphere, and to banish it. Bodies of troops are now on their way to Poona to form Lord Frederick Fitzclarence's military camp, and preparations for reviews, field days, &c., are afoot. The order for a third European regiment to be added to each of the presidencies has given, it is needless to observe, general satisfaction. A meet ing of the shareholders of the Commercial Bank of India was held on the 9th instant, to confirm and adopt certain resolutions passed at the meeting of that company held on the 17th ultimo, when it was determined to increase the capital of the company, and to alter the clause in the deed of settlement, which debarred any one person from holding more than three hundred shares on his own account. Resolutions were passed, which, for carrying out the first of these objects, determined, that one new share for every three old ones be issued, thus in creasing the amount of capital one-third, and for the latter, that the words six hundred be substi tuted for three hundred. We are glad to state that the exchequer in India seems in a most flourishing condition. The Supreme Government has issued a Gazette Extraordinary containing the following notification : " Ist. That no further transfer a the Five per Cent Sicca Loans into the Four per Cent. Debt will be allowed after the 28th November next. "2dly. That all notes of the Five per Cent. Loan, bearing date the 30th of June, 1841, from No. 19,001 to the last number on the register, will be discharged at the General Treasury on or before the 30th of January next, holders having the option of transferring the amount into a new Four per Cent. Loan. " 3dly. The opening of a new loan bearing interest at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum., We are sorry to add that the state of trade in our local market is not very encouraging, and that there does not seem any immediate prospect of im- I provement. The Delhi Gazette, of the 29th ult., contains the following melancholy announcement, dated Simla, the 26th October : "-With deep sorrow—a sorrow sacred to the memory of raro private worth and recorded public merit—the Commander-in• Chief in India makes known to the army the death, at Simla, after brief but severe illness, of Major-General Godwin, C. 8., commanding the Sathind division, and recently holding chief cornmand of the combined field force which achieved the conquest of Pegu. Sir William Gomm feels assured that the army at large will regret with him the sudden departure from amid its ranks of a distinguished soldier, a gallant leader, and an ardent promoter of its interests, while some, perhaps, will mourn with his excellency over the loss of a long-tried and justly-valued friend, faithful and true from youth upwards to the close of an useful and hon oured life.

As to the probable turn that affairs may take, it be comes every day clearer, that the result of our ex pedition has turned out far from profitable, and that even under the most favourable circumstances, a long time must elapse before our newly ac quired territories will pay for the mere cost of their administration. We have missed the oppor tunity, and have now to pay for our mistake. The fertile province of Pegu, which was expected to be the granary of our Burmese possessions, has disappointed our expectations for this year, for in stead of yielding a large supply of grain, we have to support its population ; the immense forests which were to yield timber sufficient to supply all the navy yards of England, have failed to establish that great trade, which alone, it was thought, would render our conquests most profitable : and as for commerce in general, which was to create Rangoon the high road for British manufactures into the western countries of China,',its results, to judge by the revenue derived from Customs dues, hardly pays for the expense of the Custom House establishments. It is true that in every new settlement numerous difficulties have to be contended with • still in the course of time they are overcome, but that time seems to be very re mote in Burmah, for as long as we do not come to a final settlement with the Burmese, whatever trade may spring up, it will not extend beyond the borders of our own territories. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL GODWIN. (From the Bengal Hurkaru.) It is our melancholy duty to announce the death of Major-General Godwin, C. 13., which occurred at Simla on the morning of the 26th ult. The following is the announcement of our correspondent, and which we re gret has since been fully confirmed : "A very short time ago a salute announced the arri val at Simla of General Godwin, on a visit to his Ex cellency the Commander-in-Chief. " General Godwin seemed to be much invigorated by the bracing climate of Simla, and I believe made it a rule to walk out every evening. "The last walk taken by him was somewhat longer than usual ; returning home to 'Barnes Court' heated, it is said he took a bath. An attack of influenza fol lowed, which I deeply regret to add ended fatally. The gallant old man, after escaping all dangers, came up here to enjoy himself, and died this morning about two o'clock. "His funeral is to take place at three p.m. to-morrow, when the last honours will be paid to the mortal remains of the late Commander of the Sirhind Division and con queror of the first slice of Burrnah. - "In consequence of this melancholy event, his Excel lency's movement downwards has been postponed till the 29th or 30th." 'We have received this information with exceeding regret, because we still hoped a fitting opportunity would arrive for the zeneral to rebut many of the charges brought against him during the late ignoble war in Burmah. 'We have ourselves long been in pos. session of facts which completely exonerated him from the insinuated blame which was cast upon him. We could show that while-the odium of delay was cast upon the general, he was utterly innocent of the offence, if offence it were ; but we have two marked and pub lic•evidences to this fact. I❑ the first place, there is the declaration of the general himself at the farewell dinner given to him at Rangoon, where he expressly affirmed that lie acted strictly in obedience to orders ; and, in the next place, there is the witness of Lord Dalhousie in the Burmese despatches, who distinctly states his approbation of the conduct of General God win, which met with his full approval. We are as much as any one averse to octogenarian generals ; but whatever might have been the age of General Godwin, I it is certain that no ensign in the Burmese force was more active than he. Perhaps no man ever numbered as many years and retained so much quicksilver in his composition. ' General Godwin in activity of mind and body was as young as his aides-de-camp. The manner in which his death has been caused bears evidence to his activity. It was by overheating himself with exer cise that his fatal malady was originated. By none were his good qualities better known and appreciated than by the Commander in -Chief, who, after a friendship of many years has witnessed the death of an old comrade in arms.

(From the Overland Bombay Times, Nov. 14.) GENERAL SUMMARY.—The latest accounts we have from Burmah are up to the 23d ult. ; they still represent the country iu a state of anarchy and confuton. Several - clariiig - dacoities had taken place, and, whether justly or not, the King of Ava seems by general consent to be looked upon as re sponsible for them. Captains Latter and Smith, commissioners respectively if Prome and Sarawab, have been engaged with the . dacoits. The former officer, on the 14th Septeredser last, received im portant despatches by the steamer Medusa,. at Prome, and at once proceeded up in her : he found that the dacoits had taken . - possession of a village below'Meya,day, and had driven the unfortunate inhabitants into the jungle; he Therefore returned to Prome, from whence he took troops, and after inflicting severe punishment on the dacoits com pletely cleared the village of them. In the conflict the notorious Meah Toon was desperately wounded, and he has been conveyed in a litter, it is said, to Ava ; • so that for a time, at all events , the country is freed from his raids. During the time Captain Latter was accomplishing these events in the district of Prome, of which he is Commissioner, Captain Smith was also actively engaged in the district of Sarawah. Gaining information from a spy that a body of dacoits had arrived at Kanoung, headed by their leaders, whose euphonious names are Moung Koung Gyee and Nga Shoay Maik, alias Myoo Ouk, he set out accompanied by a number of Burmese, who had volunteered for the occasion, and the upshot of thesaffair was, that the first of these leaders was captured and hanged, whilst the latter absconded ; nor did this dacoit leader find it an easy' matter to elude the vigilance of his foeS ; for flying from the Sarawah District he unguardedly entered that of Promo, where Captain Latter, hearing of his arrival, hotly pur sued him ; thus in avoiding one enemy he very nearly ran into the hands of another, and although his capture was not effected, his followers were completely routed, and their leader himself is now concealed (not for long) at some place in Martaban. The results of these successful expeditions are, that the districts of both Prome and Sarawah are now peaceful, that trade has had new vigour given to it, and that merchants and boats can proceed from Rangoon, up and down the river, without much fear of molestation. The two Roman Ca tholic priests, who, as we mentioned in our last summary, had arrived at Rangoon, confirm the report of Meeah Toon's being received at Ava, and protected by the King ; they were also the bearers of a message from the Monarch of the Golden Foot, soliciting permission for his being allowed to send three white elephants to Rangoon with offerings to Shoey-dagon, but Captain Phayre, to whom the re quest was preferred, feared the influence the animals would undoubtedly exercise on the minds of the superstitious Burmese, who firmly believe that the sacred elephant is the source from whence power is derived, and that the animal's presence is only necessary to ensure the success of any undertaking his worshippers may embark in ; and so the gallant captain, not liking to refuse in dis tinct terms the request of the monarch, replied, that on condition of the Frenchman d'Oorguny being given up to him by the Ava government, he would have no objection to the advent of the Royal elephants. Of course the government will not think of parting with their drill-master, upon whom it seems they have set a most extravagant value, and Captain Phayre knowing this, has availed him self of the knowledge to virtually refuse the per mission solicited. The name of one of the Jesuits is Abona, and in addition to the request entrusted to him relative to the elephants, he is also com missioned to prevail upon us to save the King of Ava the disgrace; in the eyes of his subjects, of losing Pegu, by agreeing to give him back the territory for 15 crores of rupees which sum, though covenanting to . pay, the King would not liquidate, and the country would then become ours, quasi in default of payment. The details of the disturbance which took place in the gaol of Rangoon on the Bth ult., have come to hand. ' About sunset the convicts seized upon the muskets of the sepoys, which were piled, and having possessed themselves of the weapons quietly walked out of the gaol, to the considerable astonishment of the guard, who saw their muskets with bayonets fixed carried off before their eyes. The convicts made, half of them, for the river side, and half for an old burial ground, and al-. though heavily ironed made such good way that the Line Guards, who by this time had turned out in pursuit, could not head them, particularly as the convicts took a narrow road lying between two swamps more than knee deep in mud. In this state of things the guards had nothing for it but to fire at the mutineers as they were seen running away, and the Peons and Chuprassies cut down all they came up with ; the result was, that out of about 132 pris oners , 13 were killed, 43 were wounded severely, 15 got clear away, and the re mainder were recaptured ; so severe were the wounds inflicted, that itsis said all the doctors in the place were employed the whole of the next day in taking off legs and arms. 'lt is also reported that, simultaneously with this emeute, another took place in the gaol at Bassein. Having now closed our remarks for the p resen t re lative o Burmah— as his fame is closely connected with the conquests he achieved in that country—this is perhaps the most appropriate place to announce to our readers the death of General Godwin, C. 8., at Simla, on the 26th ultimo, at 2 o'clock a.m. The deceased general was the guest of Sir William and Lady Gomm, and his death is attributed to the germs of disease which the climate of Burmah had sown in his constitution. It will be remembered that Ad miral Austin, the commander of the naval arma ment in the. Burmese waters, died on the spot ; the leader of the land forces has now departed, and both have fallen victims to the climate. From the north west we learn, although of course we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information, that the Sirdar of Herat has allied himself with the chiefs of Kabool and Orgunj, and that a son of Dost Mahomed had put himself in possession of Kelat-i-Ghilzee. It is also stated that the Candahar Chiefs are proceed ing against Kelat, where, up to the latest date, no force had been collected. The Commissioner in Scinde is said to have received despatches from our old ally the Khan, and it is generally supposed— to use the phraseology of one of our contemporaries —that " there is something in the wind's eye." As we said before, we by no means wish to be understood as placing implicit reliance on all the wars and rumours of wars which are just now talked of in India—what with the expected third Burmese war ; the reports of the wide-spread con spiracy that caused, at nearly the same moment, the murder of Colonel IVlackeson, the projected seizure of Rawul Pindee, and the attempted assas sination at Luknow, ac., one would imagine that we were on the eve of a hot war, whereas the fact is, that, barring reports, India never enjoyed more tranquillity than at present. Major Herbert Edwards,.

REPORT OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS FROM THE 28TH OF OCTOBER TO THE 13TH OF NOVEMBER. The leading event in the money market during the past fortnight has been the notification by the East India Company of their intention to pay off a further portion of their 5 per cent. loans, or commute the interest thereon to 4 per cent., and of their having opened a new loan at 31 per cent. interest. The first of these measures has been expected for some time, it being well known that the operations for payment or transfer of the 5 per cent. transfer loans and the 5 per cent. Sicca loans of 1824-26 and 1829-30 in July and September last have been emi nently successful. There can be no doubt that the re maining portion of the loan of 1841-42 will soon follow, and then the 5 per cent. will cease to be known as a government rate of interest in India. Another notice intiniates that no claim for transfer of notes of the 5 per cent) Sicca loans into the 4 per cent. loan of 1842-43 will be admitted after the 28th -inst. This step will oblige holders to take payment in cash, a considerable portipn of which will probably find its way into the new 31 per cent. loan of 1854.

There is no intelligence of recent date f rom Shanghai, and, as the passage in this monsoon is short, we may fairly infer from the non -arrival o f any vessel thence, that nothing of importanc e h as occurred. But from Lo-chau, on the northern coast of Shan-tung province [the province of Shan-tung lies between Kiang-nan of which Nanking is the capi tal], w e have some intelligence to the 4th of Octo ber, in itself not much, but from which a good deal m a y b e i nferred. From this source we learn that all th e province of Shan-tung is quiet, the peopl e b e i ng i n no great apprehension about the approach of the rebels, and not having heard of . rice was a b ou t t h e same price an invincible f orce crossing the Yellow River, and higher Now th L a o n . o a h t a ti is, w Canton. as as usual—very little estimate, about 200 m il es south-east of Pekin, and both places import all the rice they consume, thereby of course augmenting its price. But as, nevertheless, it is to be had at Lo-chau at a moderate rate, we may infer that at Pekin, with sea and inland communication uninter rupted, it is not at a famine price. When the rebels took Nanking, it was asserted, with a confidence that would not be questioned, that having thus pos sessed themselves of "the key to the grand arteries of intercourse," supplies for Pekin and the North would be cut off, and the country reduced, if not to submission to a state of famine. Nan king has been in the hands of the rebels for more than six months, comprising the season of im ports to the north, and we now learn that it has not been starved, or even suffered any unusual pri vation. Another fact is worthy of notice, especially of those who are calculating on the speedy over throw of the Manchu Government by the insur gents now arrayed against it, and the general and peaceful acceptance by the people of a new dynasty, or, as many profess to believe, the restoration of an old one pur e ly Chinese :—Nanking, as its name imports, the souther n me t ropo li s of the empire, is about 700 miles from Peking, the northern metro polis and seat of government for upwards of four centuries • but, besides c a pit a l s , th ere are 267 de partmental cities in the 18 provinces of China, of which the insurgents are in possession of only six (exclusive of Nanking), —namely, Chin-kiang fu, and Yang-chau fu, in Kiang-su •' Chichau fu, an d Lu-chau fu, in Nga n h wu i ; Kiu-kiang fu, in Kiang-si ; and Kwei-teh fu, in Ho-nan. So little progress in subduing the country, or even in crippling the Government of Peking, does not promise so speedy a termination of the passive struggle as people here with a craze have been making the Home Government and home folks believe ; and the restoration of tranquillity, under a purely Chinese dynasty, is an event which we fear few of our age are likely to witness. AMOY. In our last weekly issue, we mentioned a report to the effect that Li, an insurgent lieutenant gene ral, had arrived at Amoy from. Shanghai with the " sinews of war," contributed to the rebels by their brethren at the north ; but the so-called lieutenant general has not reported himself to his friends, who can get no tidings of him, and conclude that he has absconded with the treasure. When her Majesty's brig Rapid left A. fight ing was still going on, and the imperialists had ad vanced a little closer to the town. The insurgents were in great distress for provisions and ammu nition. K WANG-TUl'5'G. There is a report, believed to be well founded, that the disturbances in Hwei-chau fu, which ori ginated in the adjoining fu in Kwang-tung, are ex tending in that province. That an encounter has taken place is certain, for the Che-hies of Kwei shell, who took part in it, has gone to Canton to have his wounds dressed. We are informed that the disturbance in the north-east of Ho-ping hien, which we stated was settled, has been so only by pa ssing into the adjoin ing hien of Lungchieun. There has been some fighting lately in the neigh bourhood of the Bogue, and on the mainland op posite Whampoa. Notwithstanding these disturbances within the province, which at another time would probably have passed unnoticed, we are told that the feeling of confidence among the Chinese at Canton has not been so great as it is at present since the capture of Nanking.

The Madras Athenccuin of Nov. 9 records the death of Lieut.-Col. Gordon, Adjutant-General of the Madras Army. That journal says :—"Colonel Gordon came in from Bangalore with the head quarters staff, and- com plained of suffering from indisposition, which did not, however, prevent him from moving about on Thursday, and, transacting a considerable amount of official duty. From what has since transpired. it appears that he over tasked his energies, and late at night cholera fastened upon him, and carried him off in about six hours. The funeral took place yesterday evening, and was attended by the Governor, the Commander-in-Chief, and nearly every person of note in Madras, the estimable qualities of the deceased entitling him to such a mark of univer sal respect." 94 10% 1214 2 1 ,4 314 I - 94 Il 2! 3
