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 gmety, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. ]JAY 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 luced 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 Unfrultfill 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, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con , equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there i 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 rhysician who, reaardless 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 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 c ire of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues o 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 li., and advice and medicines an be forwarded to any initials or address.

On Saturday last we published a telegraphic despatch from Trieste in anticipation of the over land mail. We have now received our parcels by the Marseilles route. From Burmah we learn that matters were im proving in that quarter. The Governor-General was still expected at Rangoon. A bi-monthly communication is to be established forthwith between Rangoon and Calcutta by the steamers Tenasserim, Sesostris, and Fire Queen. A force marched on the 9th of November from Peshawur towards the Kohat Pass to coerce the Afredees to allow us to build a fort. The force consisted of a light field battery, two companies of Sappers and Miners, her Majesty's 22d Regiment, 20th Native Infantry, 66th Ghoorkas, and the 7th Irregular Cavalry. 'Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton (22d Queen's) was to command it. The Shah of Persia is reported to have left Tehe ran with 30,000 cavalry and 1,000 pieces of cannon, and 3,000 camels loaded with ammunition, to ope rate against Turkey in concert with Russia. The Governor-General was still at Calcutta, and Sir William Gomm was at Delhi on the 18th of November. The following summary is extracted from the Bombay Times of Nov. 28 : .During the past fortnight matters have remained in state quo at Burmah. Our advices are up to the 22d ult., and contain nothing regarding the affairs of that country with which our readers are not already acquainted. The Governor-General has announced the intention of Government to maintain henceforth a regular bi-monthly steam communication between Rangoon and Calcutta, and of course the seaports en route. The vessels to be employed are the Tenasserim, the Fire Queen, and the Sesostris, and the communication is to be maintained throughout all seasons of the year. The establishment of a regular communication be tween Calcutta and the Eastern shores of the Bay of Bengal cannot fail to be highly beneficial in a commercial point of view. From our north-west frontier we learn that a force, consisting of a light field battery, two com panies of Sappers, her Majesty's 22d Regiment, the 20th Native Infantry, the 66th Ghoorkas, and the 7th Irregular Cavalry, the whole under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton, of her Ma jesty's 22d Foot, marched from Peshawur on the 9th inst. towards the Kohat pass, in order to try what effect the demonstration will have on the Afredees, in inducing them to permit us to build a fort near Muttunnee. The brigade is to be so dis posed that it will blockade the pass while the fort is building, the site for which has been selected at Bazeed Khed, a locality six miles to the southward of, or nearer to, the mouth of the pass than Mut tunnee. It is expected that some skirmishing will take place, in which case the Afredees will learn a lesson in the most effectual manner an Afredee can be taught. Nothing whatever has transpired rela tive to the causes which led to Colonel Mackeson's murder, nor, judging from the aspect of affairs, do we expect the matter to be cleared up at present. It is said that the Shah of Persia has left Tehe ran with his army, numbering 30,000 cavalry and 1,000 pieces of cannon, together with 3,000 camel loads of ammunition. The destination of this force is not known ' • some say it is intended to operate against the Russians, while others allege that the Shah is a tool in the hands of Russia. Great anxiety regarding this movement had been felt in Persia, and by the latest accounts the Royal army was seen passing Tabriz. Some fears were also entertained for the safety of His Majesty's person. The Shah has despatched an envoy to Cabul on a mission to Dost Mahomed, prefaced, it is said, by a declaration, pointing out the benefits which will accrue to both parties from friendship and unity. No doubts are entertained but that this mission has referetice to the course to be pur sued by the Dost in the event of war between Rus sia and Turkey. We mentioned in a former sum mary that a Russian army had marched cn, route to Khiva. We now hear of its arrival at that place, having first stormed the fortress of Ahmetzee. The affairs of Bahawulpoor are represented as getting from bad to worse, the Khan not only de clining to liberate the Minister Shah Newaz-ood deen, as recommended by our Government, but marking his animosity towards us by rejoicing at our misfortunes. No sooner did ho hear of the assassination of Colonel Makeson by the hand of a fanatic, than he publicly expressed, it is said, his satisfaction, and proceeded to enlist a number of Pathans into his service, because he looks upon them as our enemies. No doubt our Government is kept well informed by its agent of the Khan's dis graceful conduct, both private and public, and tliat eventually it will interpose ; but at present the release of Shah Newaz-ood-deen ought to be insisted on as, not being in the service of Baha wulpoor, he should receive the protection of his immediate Government. The Governor-General is still at Calcutta, but it is expected he will shortly visit Pegu. His servants have al ready preceded him. His Lordship's movements, however, cannot he determined with anything like precision just now, as they entirely depend on the nature of the intelligence which the next Eng lish mail will bring. Should there be war, his lordship will, of course, remain at Calcutta. His Excellency Sir W. Gomm was at Delhi on the 18th inst., but has proceeded towards Meerut. The only other item of intelligence we have to record is the appointment of Viscount Melville, K.C.8., to command the Sirhind division, in the room of the late General Godwin, C.B. We learn that serious discontent has been en geniered among the men of the Nizam's contingent at Hyderabad owing to the means resorted to to reduce its numerical strength by transferring those whose services are no longer required to Pegu. It is questionable if such a transfer can be legally made, the men having enlisted for the Nizam's ser vice only, and he having nothing to do with Bur mah. A court is now sitting at Hyderabad, pre sided over by Brigadier Mayne, inquiring into the conduct of the Rajah of Dewalgaum, who was taken prisoner after the recent affair near Aurungabad, but it is surmised that the Rajah will escape scot free, as no more can be proved against him than that he was in the hands of the Arabs, a prisoner. It is stated that Brigadier Mayne has recommended that the three Arabs who were taken prisoners in the affair above alluded to should be hanged, but that the authorities conceive imprisonment for three years an adequate punishment. It is our painful duty to announce that some thing very like a famine prevails in all the northern districts of the Madras presidency, owing to the want of rain, the monsoon having confined itself entirely to the southern coast. It is stated that the export of grain from the northern ports had almost entirely ceased. In Cuddapah rice had risen more than 100 per cent., and in many places stringent ameliorative measures are enforced by the collectors. If the authorities in these parts do not introduce the importation of grain into the dis tricts hundreds must die of starvation. Lord Falkland is expected to return to Bombay during the commencement of next month, and leaves India, it is understood, early ix January. He will return from the hills by way of Poonah to witness the spectacle of the military camp which is now being formed at that station. The intelligence of the restoration of Colonel Outram to the appoint ment of resident at Baroda, which is confirmed by Calcutta papers just received, has given, we may say, universal satisfaction ; but he has yet to war against corrupt intrigue. An investigation has been going on in the Bombay Secretariat during the last week, which proves that Khutputism is as rife as ever among us, and that the Guicowar of Baroda still makes use of its influence successfully. A summary of Baroda affairs was recently prepared in the Secret Department of the Secretariat from numerous documents. For what purpose it was intended, or for whose edification drawn up, we know not, but it extended over nearly a ream of foolscap, and no doubt contained much valuable information. Lord Falkland being at Mahabulesh war, it became necessary to send the document by post to that station, and accordingly it was put into the Bombay Post-office for transit, and eventually made over to the mail contractor. But the agents of the Guicowar, who had made Khutput in the secretariat, not only knew that the document was in course of preparation, but became cognisant of the very hour—nay, minute, that it was posted, and determined to possess it ; for this purpose they bribed some of the subordinate servants of the mail contractor, and the document, while on the way between the Post-office and the steamer, disap peared, and has not since been heard of. The in quiry has only as yet elicited a confession from one of the servants, who acknowledges that he was offered a bribe of 200 rupees to abstract the packets in transitu. We have just now among us the Rajah of Dbar, who has been lionizing it through Bombay for the past 10 or 12 days, visiting most o f our pu bli c in stitutions. The Hon. Company's new corvette, the Falk land, was launched with the customary honours on the 16th inst. This corvette is to carry 12 guns, ty ,K,eo - _ - - [PRICE SD. Middle to fine are likewise scarce, and sales to " arrive" have been effected at Rs. 2 to 24. Coloured Muslins are saleable at Rs. 2-8 to 2-12. Lappet Scarfs of the finer descriptions continue ticarce and saleable, other kinds are heavy in stock, and not much doing. Dhoties, 5 yards, are saleable at Rs. 1-7 to 2-12. Book Muslins meet with fair inquiry at annas 13 to Rs. 1-2, according to quality. Coloured Mulls—Saleable at Rs. 2-8 to 2-12. Dyed Cambrics are in good request, and have slightly advanced. and measures 108 feet 9 inches between the per pendiculars ; length all over, 133 feet 9 inches ; 'breadth moulded, 31 feet 6 inches; breadth ex treme, 32 feet 4 inches ; depth in hold, 14 feet ; burden, in tons (old measurement), 494 59-94ths. She has been commissioned as a second-class sloop, and the command of her has been g iven to Com mander Stephens. As we anticipated, the Ajdaha has been found rotten fore and aft ; she is to be dismantled, and her rigging, & - c., returned into store. Turkey Red Cambrics, 28 yards, are saleabl e at Rs. 6-7 to 6-8. The s t oc k i n first hand has been somewhat reduced. 24 yards rather dull. Turkey Red Twills are not much inquired after. - Turkey Red Dimity in fair request, and stock in hand small. Black and White Cambrics or Prints saleable at Rs. 31 to Turkey Red Yarn—Nos. 30 to 60 is steady and sale. able, at Rs. 1-4 to 1.8. Orange twist is dull and without much inquiry. Metals remain steady at the former rates. Cochineal is without change at Rs. 2.2 to Rs. 2-3. Saffron fetches Rs. 14 for the best quality. Cotton—Most of the transactions that have lately transpired have been for the most part confined to ship. ments by natives. Previous to the arrival of the last English and China mails a decline took place to Rs. 90 for Broach, and Rs. 88 for Dhollera, but since the ar rival of last advices sellers demand Rs. 3 more. Linseed is held at Rs. 3-12 per cwt. Freights —In consequence of the few arrivals which had taken place during the first part of the fortnight freights advanced to Si. 2s. 6d. to 3/. ss. per ton to Liverpool and London, and Rs. 16 to 17 per candy to China ; but several vessels arrived yesterday evening, which will, probably, have the effect of causing a de cline. We are happy to add that cholera in Bombay is ' on the decrease ; it has made its appearance among the men of the 4th Regiment of Native Infantry, Who are on their march to Poonah, but not to an alarming extent ; the total number of cases re ported as having occurred on our island during the past 15 days amounts to but 166. The money market is quiet, and trade is not very brisk. Exchange on England considerably fluctuated after the arrival of the mail from China. Baring Brothers' credits at six months' sight were refused at 2s. lid. per rupee, but owing to a rather extensive sale of goods they have been sold as low as 2s. 15-16 d. ; the rate of the day may be quoted at 2s. ld. for these, and at 2s. 1 3-16 d. to 2s. lid. for bills secured by shipping documents. On China, at 60 days' sight, Rs. 237 per 100 dollars, On Calcutta, at 30 days' sight, Rs. 99i per cent. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. R OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. PATRON—H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT.

The following is the letter of the Times corre spondent, dated Bong Kong, Nov. 11 The steamer with the 24th of September mail keeps out. There has been an increase of sickness in the gar rison, but nothing of a severe nature ; otherwise the colony is healthy. From Shanghai our dates are to the 2d in' st., per Lady Mary Wood. There is no new feature to report in the pro ceedings of the imperial and insurgent troops, Constant fighting is going on, with little result on either side. The losses of the imperialists have been considerable, while the insurgents have suf fered little, which gives them confidence. The imperialists have received large reinforcements, and were estimated, of all kinds, at about 14,000, and the foreign vessels hitherto employed at Chin-kiang foo have come down to assist. The fleet of junks, which passed through here on the 13th of Septem ber, ordered by the Taoutae, we learn, was seen close to Woosung, and, unless the insurgents re ceive assistance from Nankin, it is doubtful if they will be able to hold the city for any length of time against such a force. The ex-Taoutae Samqua seems to be in difficulty from want of money, and has been unwarrantably exposing himself in the foreign settlement, enter ing with 200 armed followers, and attempting to force himself upon her Britannic Majesty's Consul without due notice, but was obliged to withdraw. The proceedings of his E xce ll ency th e A mer i can Commissioner a n the American Vice-Consul, as regards neutrality, are considered somewhat equi vocal, and the rebel chief has addressed a letter on the subject. The payment of the duties during the capture of Shanghai, and the present collection of them, are being agitated by the foreign authorities and Imperial Government, and causing some excite ment, as appears in the North China Herald. The latest news from the north received at Shang hai, contained in the Pekin Gazette of the 3d Octo ber mention the safe arrival at T een - s t en o f t h e 800 , 000 peculs, of rice from Chekiang province. The Mongols in the park at Pekin consist of 69 officers, 4,000 men, and 400 camp followers. These were only Mongols that have come within the great wall. Tae-ping's northern army took Ping-yang, in Shan-see, on the 12th of September, left it a day or two after, and passed eastward of Flung-tung, in the direction of Pekin, from which it was 500 to 600 miles distant. It is difficult to arrive at correct information of the progress of the rebel forces in the north. It is not long since they were reported to be within 150 miles of Pekin. From Ningpo we learn under date of the 25th ult., that the city was quiet ; but there was an im pression that it could be revolutionised, without much disorder, in favour of the new dynasty. We have nothing later from Foochoo than the 20th ult., given in our last. Our dates from Amoy are to the sth inst. Affairs there seemed approaching to a crisis ; the fighting had harassed and reduced the rebel force, which was in want of provisions and money, and hemmed in by the Imperial troops by land and a strong fleet of junks to oppose them on the water side. It was expected the city would be retaken. Her Britannic Majesty's Consul had removed from the consulate to the foreign factories, and the captain of her Majesty's ship Hermes was to land a force at night time. _ At Canton there is nothing new to mention ; the city remains quiet and the protective measures are efficient. At Toongkoon, in this province, the people are excited and furious against the manda rins and Tartars, and there is apprehension that some trouble may spring from it. Trade in imports is again languid, and the late improvement in yarn and skirtings is barely sup ported. Exchange has fallen to ss. 2d. per dollar. The price of tea is maintained, and the finer quali ties scarce. At Shanghai shipments of tea were active ; in im ports little doing. Exchange on England, 6s. 6d. It is generally understood that his Excellency the Governor Sir George Bonham's resignation has been accepted by her Majesty's Government. His successor has not yet been nominated. His Excellency the American Commissioner has arrived at Macao from Shanghai, pending the ar rival of his successor. Her Majesty's ship Hercules arrived from Sydney on the 29th ult., and is to be stationed here as an hospital ship. In , harbour, her M a je s ty' s s hip Winchester, steamers Rattler and Styx, and ship Hercules. At Whampoa, her Majesty's brig Lilly, the United States' frigate Macedonian, steamers Mississippi and Pawhatan, and storeship Supply. At Macao, the United States' storeship South ampton. At Cumsing Moon, the United States' sloop Vandalia. At Amoy, the brig Bittern. At Ningpo, the French steamer Colbert and fri gate Constantine. At Shanghai, her Majesty's' steamer Salamander, her Majesty's ship Spartan, the French steamer Cassini, and United States' sloop Saratoga. Our latest dates are from England, the Bth of September; Calcutta, the 19th of September; Bom bay, the Ist of October ; Singapore, the 1 7th of October ; Manilla, the 18th of October ; Sydney, the 3d of September ; and Shanghai, the 2d of November. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 14TH OCT. TO THE 27TH NOV., 1853. Our Money market has remained quiet during the past fortnight. Rates of interest are without change, though money is beginning to be more in demand in all quarters, and will probably be scarce towards the be ginning of the year. Joint Stock Shares maintain their price, but Government Securities have slightly declined, some desire to realise having been manifested. Since the departure of the last mail piece goods have been sold to a considerable extent, but we regret to re mark the prices realised are on heavygoods considerably below those obtained at the same season last year. Grey Shirtings, 40 inch, of the lighter kinds, ar-, with little chan ge, steady and saleable at f ormer rates ; the heavier sorts have slightly declined in value and are dif ficult of sale. 45 inch goods remain nearly without change, the higher kinds not quite in such good request. Grey Long Cloth is in request, and a good deal of business is being done. More than 700 bales have changed hands. 81b. is wanted ; 121 b. heavy in stock. Grey T Cloth—Sales to a large extent have been ef fected of late, but the value obtained is 2 to 3 annas under the prices realised last year. Grey Domestics —A fair request exists for short widths, for other kinds there is but little inquiry at Rs. 1 to 2 under the value realised last year. Grey Madapollams continue in fair request, and sale ' able at the rates quoted in our last. Grey Jacconets have a steady inquiry at the prices quoted by last mail. Grey Mulls—A good many sales are being effected in consequence of a scarcity of Jacconets. Grey Cambrics— 54 to 60 inches wide in fair request ; 64 inches wide are not in so good request as the former. Grey Twills are very much neglected. Bleached Skirtings, of the lower description, are in good demand, at Rs. 3-12 to 4-8; the higher descrip tions have somewhat receded in value, and meet with but moderate inquiry. Bleached Madapollarns, of the lower kinds, are worth from 2 to 21 Rs. ; in the higher sorts there is little doing. Bleached Jacconets, of the lower sort, fetch from 1 to 2/ Rs. ; for the higher qualities the inquiries are very moderate. Bleached Mulls are somewhat under the rates of last year, and only moderately inquired after. Bleached Cambries very dull, and prices have some what receded. Bleached Dimity is saleable, 40 yards, at 51 to 6 Rs. ; 24 yards, at 4 Rs. ; 12 yards, at 2 Rs. Bleached twill sales have been reported, but at a con siderable decline in price. Lappets of the common description are moderate in stock, in fair inquiry and saleable at Rs. 1-2 to Rs. 1-8. The middling kinds are in moderate inquiry, and saleable at Rs. 1-12 to Rs. 2-2. The finer qualities are rather scarce, and the inquiry fair at Rs. 2.8 to Rs. 4-4. Coloured Lappets, 10 yards and 40 inch, of the lower kinds, are scarce and saleable at Rs. 1.2 to Rs. 1-12. THE CALCUT.CA MARKETS. FRIDAY, Nov. 18.—Up to going to press the London . mail, though overdue, had not arrived. We have no change to note in the prospects of the indigo crop. The business done in sugar has been ex tremely limited. The demand for saltpetre continues active at full prices. Shipments of the table qualities of rice are in progress for Great Britain and France. The demand for raw silk continues. Corahs are also in good inquiry at previous prices. Shell lac and lac dye are in fair request at former value. Hides are freely taken at a little advance. There is less disposition to operate in linseed on English account, and the price of the seed has slightly declined. We have no alteration to note in rapeseed. Jute is in active demand at extreme prices. Business has again been interrupted by the interven tion of four Hindoo holidays. The activity in our im port markets, partly from this cause, and partly from less favourahle news from the Upper Provinces, has rather slackened, and our sale reports show a falling off in the quantity of cotton piece goods placed. Former prices, however, are maintained, and holders remain firm. Mule Twist until within the last few days re mained in good demand at previous value ; the inquiry.is now relaxed, but late quotations are maintained. An in quiry chiefly speculative exists for Turkey red and Ger man dyes. Light green is scarce, but wanted. Orange is quiet. In metals, copper continues in fair demand ; sheathing is quoted at 41.12, and braziers' at 42 to 43. Nothing has transpired in iron, but holders are firm. Spelter is neglected, and lead without report of sale. Tin plates are in fair demand. There have been no ar rivals lately of British salt, which is quoted at 100 to 101 per 100 mds. for stoved. The money market is kept well supplied, and a fair demand exists for accommodation. The share market is firm; Bank of Bengal shares are selling at 6,300 Rs. each, and other joint-stock shares can be readily placed at full rates. Government securities have further de clined, in consequence of the critical state of European politics. Co.'s R. 4 per cents. are quoted at 103-8 to 104-12. Sa. Rs. ditto at 101-2 to 101-4. New fives at 104-8. The subscriptions to the new 3i per cent. loan recently opened have of course been extremely trifling. Exchange for the present mail opened at 2-1 for credits and 2-14 for the best document bills ; the rates after wards receded to 2-0 i and 2-1 ; they may now be quoted at the opening figure. The following are the quotations of freights to Lon don :—Saltpetre, 31. 10s. ; sugar, 3/. 15s. ; rice, 41. 55.; shell lac. 4/. 15s. ; lac dye, 51. ; jute, 4/. 17s. sd. ; hides, 51. ; to Mauritius Rs. 2-2 per bag for grain. Indigo.—We have no alteration to report in the state of the new crop, and we can therefore only confirm our last report. Rumours of sales at high prices in antici pation of arrival are floating about, but without any foundation. CANTON MARKET REPORT. ( From, the Canton Commercial List, November 9.)

HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to and' teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppprt and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas tication. 52, F ET-STREET.—At home from Ten till Five. LiRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. I, Princes-street, Bank, London. Established August 1, 1837.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS, JEWELLERY, &c. —Yesterday (Sunday) information was forwarded from the various metropolitan and City police stations, of one of those mysterious and extensive robberies which have lately baffled the ingenuity of the most experienced officers. It appears, from what has been allowed to transpire, that the premises of Alfred Beaumont, Esq., No. 47, Gloucester-terrace, Hyde-park, was entered on the 22d or 23d instant, when property to the amount of several hundred pounds was carried off, but from the strict secrecy that has been observed, it is impossible to give the exact amount. The entrance is supposed to have been effected from the upper part of the house, whence the thieves proceeded into the bed room, and carried off the following articles :—A very large brilliant-diamond brooch of the first water ; a massive gold chain, with a token suspended, set with diamonds and rubies ; gold chain, a splendid turquoise enamelled bracelet, studded with diamonds • gold chain, neckl ace , with d ar k bl ue enamelled snake, fastened with diamonds ; a gold ser pent bracelet, with a head of diamonds ; another gold bracelet, chased, having an enamel in the centre, with brilliant diamonds around, and a variety of other descrip tions of property. A large reward is offered for the ap prehension of the thieves, and Inspector Grant, of the D division, is most actively engaged in. investigating his extensive robbery.
