BY SAMUEL LA'MEIST, M.D., BEDFORD-STRERT, ONBEDFORD•SQUARB, LOND. otter of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &e. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of dontestio wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physi ca l d i squa lifi c ations and their attendant disap pointments. Exces ses are always 1 njurioas ; the gift , which when used in moderation i s f r aught w i t h advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific sou rce of misch i e f , and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and v i tal powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and consequence o f wh i ch th i s T r eatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, plan any other ti which it is subject. This work outline an accurate and complete account of Sae eOatomy and l'hp.iolony of the R epro d uct i ve Organs, and of r relative conditions In health, and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more inmortanee than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shaine and the dread so frequently, but erroneonsly entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking , or assistance where alone it can he procured. In aeting th us, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, i xva _ riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should he extended. Dr. M ERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ff,2 and the great extent of his practice for many years is a entee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The Queen's scholars were last night honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert at the fourth representation of the Adelphi. The Prince and suite arrived at the College a little before seven, and were received by the Very Rev. the Dean, the Rev. the Head Master, the Under Master, and the official per • sons of the College, An awning of canvass had been previously erected, wending from the street to the grt'at gate of the College, for the purpose of shielding the royal visitor from the rain and other inclemencies of the weather, His Royal Highness, conducted by the Dean and Elead Master, proceeded at once to the theatre, when the band played the National Anthem, and the company evinced their delight by much clapping of hands. The prologue originally delivered was laid aside for one more appropriate to the occasion. The allu sions it contains to the royal visit, as well as to the munificent donation of her Majesty, for the decoration and restoration of the College, were loudly applauded. It was well delivered by Mr. H. Vaughan Williams; and a discerning audience of Old Westminsters evinced throughout, in the most hearty manner, their ready appreciation of the merit of the performance. The play, which has been already noticed in this paper, it is not necessary to advert to, further than that it was enacted with great carefulness. The following is the cast : Micio ..... N. R. Smart.

The epilogue, as we have before stated, represents an election scene, wherein all the striking peculiari ties of these very important proceedings are cleverly seized and sharply satirised. The hits at Pelides and libera commercia were received with great laughter, in which his Royal Highness seemed most heartily to join. At the conclusion of the performances the national anthem--breaking in immediately after the " Vivant Regina et Princeps"—was again played. His Royal Highness, shortly after, was re-conducted by the Deans, Canons, and Masters, to the Deanery. His Royal Highness was attended by the Marquis of Abercorn, Viscount Strangford, Colonel Phipps, and Colonel Bouverie. Amongst the company present were Mr. Justice Erie, Mr. Justice Williams, Archdeacon Hale, the Rev. the Principal of the King's College, London, and many members of the Universities.

ALBERT, M.D., a Member of the Univer sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and national rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgeuil, Paris. Ninnberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been considered as incarable by the Faculty, and which In a short time hare given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of its superiority over every other means as yet employed. t was for a long rerici et time a desideratum to dircover a mode of cure adapted te all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane fal effects of mercury. We are new arrived t: the solution of this problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and easy, and which, without any degree ef exaggeration, we can affirm to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate er of long standing.

EXPORTS.—Coffee—During the past week the trans actions were extensive, attended by an advance in the value of superior and first goods 50 reals arrob-i; since, however, the arrival of the Fury with very disastrous accounts of failures is England, business has been almost at a stand.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OP THE LUNGS, BaomPToN.—The wards of this institution are now extended to the admission of seventy patients, who are at present receiving all the benefits that medical skill and science can confer upon them. From the effects of the recent epidemic there has been a sad influx of out-door patients, averaging from 300 to 400 weekly. The following statement will show the magnitude of the evil which this institution was formed to remedy. Of the 60,000 deaths which occur every year in England and W ales from slow and lingering diseases, about 36,000 are probably due to pulmonary consumption. One-ninth, therefore, of the total mortality of all ages, and more than one-fifth of the mortality of adults, is due to this cause; and as the duration of the disease, taking one case with another, is about two years, it fol lows that about 72,000 persons arc constantly suffering from consumption, being at the rate of four persons in every thousand of all ages. and eight in every thousand adults. Again, of the 45,0 00 deaths occurring yearly in the metropolis, about 5,600, or one - eighth of the total mor tality of the metropolis at all ages, and little less than one-fifth of the mortality of adults, arises from this fatal disease: and upwards of 11,000 persons, being about 1 in 170 of the entire population of the metropolis, and more than one per cent. of the adults, are constantly wasting away under the attacks of this lingering malady. Of these 11,000 cases, about three-fourths occur in males, of whom a large proportion are working men, unable to provide for themselves and families, systematically excluded from our general hospitals, and uniting in their own persons every conceivable claim to sympathy and assistance. It may be well to add that many—very many—of these poor sufferers are the acknowledged victims of unven tilated workshops, ill-constructed dwellings, vitiated at mosphere, long hours of work, and the want of open places for exercise and recreation ; so that they may fairly claim from their richer brethren, not sympathy only, but compensation for the injury which their neglect has inflicted upon them. When the whole of the building is completed, accommodation will be afforded to about two hundred in-door patients. As soon as suffi cient funds are provided a chapel will be erected for the accommodation of the patients and resident officers of the institution.

CURIOUS INFLUENCE OF DISSECTING Rooms IN PRODUCING O B LIQUITY OF VISION.—Not long ago we heard it gravely maintained by three medical men, at a dinner table, that the evil supposed to result from the decomposing bodies of our heaped-up dead in crowded towns was a f,ree; and, in reply to quoted cases of men struck dead as by li ; ;lituing i:Ito a gra:e, that the fatal gases which caused this resulted from the decomposing coffin-wood rather than from the body.— The Builder. COURT CIRCULAR. INDSOII, THURSDAY.—The unfavourable state of the weather prevented her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert taking their accustomed morning walk. The same cause prevented the Royal Family leaving the Castle this forenoon. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by the Marquis of Abercorn, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Colonel Bouverie, left the Castle at four o'clock this afternoon for town. His Royal High ness will dine at Buckingham Palace, and will honour the performance of the Westminster Play with his presence, and will afterwards return to Windsor Castle this night. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening includes her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Marchioness of Abercorn, Lady Mary Howard, the Lady in Waiting on the Duchess of Kent, Baroness de Speth, Mr. G.

ELLS TREATRE. —Wednesday night last a most alarming occurrence took place in Sadler's Wells Theatre during the per formances, and which threatened consequences of a serious nature, but which, we are happy to say, did not result in injury to any of the audience or property. It appears that for some short time past a gas-pipe at the back of the gallery had been slightly out of repair, and it was the intention of the managers to have it remedied soon. Between seven and eight o'clock on the above evening, when every part of the house was crowded to excess, one of the check takers, not had being aware that the gas-pipe was out of repair, and concluding that the light had gone out, he put a light to it, on which the gas rushed out of the pipe with great force, and the volume of light had the effect of giving the interior of the theatre an awful appearance, and an alarm of " fire" was instantly raised ; some disorder ensued, but tran quillity was speedily restored, and the performances proc, eded without further interruption. THE COTTON TRADE,—A majority of the cotton lain, at Ashton and Stalybridge and neighbourhood, are now working full time. In fact, some of the mills have lately commenced working twelve hours per day, where they can do so without infringing the law. 4 , • j .,, :i••• I' l • DECEMBER 31 ) 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW S. CM', QUARTER To THREE. The Cotton 'Market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm; sales, 5,060 bales. Shares had a downward ten• deney again, but a fair business was doing. The buying criers were at too low a limit. Public attention has been directed this morning to the cont nts of the Message of the President of the "Lfuited States, and upon the whole, as a loan must be raised, it is considered that the general tenour of the address is unfavourable, as it may keep specie in the country. However, the Funds have been little influenced by the Message. True it is that the prices have fallen.about a per cent, but this is the consequence of an express having come in from Paris announcing that prices of the R•ntes had fallen on the Bourse rather considerably there. • Consols for the Account opened at 841, and are now 85. The Three per Cunt. Reduced Annuities have gone back from 85i to 844, but with Consols have advanced * per cent. The premium upon Exchequer .bills stands at Os. to 12s. India Bonds have been taken at ls. and 2s. premium. Bank Stock is at 1861 to 187 i. In the Foreign Market, the only quotations to-day have been for Mexican, 17i ; for the Four per Cent. Portuguese, 23, ; for Russian, 107 ; for Spanish Five per Cents. 183- ; fur the Three per Cents., 303 ; and for Dutch Four per Cents., 85 44. The transactions in the Share Market have been of a very unimportant character to-day. We regret to learn that a firm in the East and West India trade has been placed in difficulties. The suspen sion is for about 50,0001., as believed. There are other firms talked of in the City. The letters brought by the Britannia steamer have, been received. The Exchanges had fallen about : 4 3 to 1 per cent., and the demand for gold and silver for export to Europe had somewhat subsided. Some failures had occurred, one, the principal, being - for 550,000 dollars. The Britannia has brought 53,0001. in specie. The Exchange at New York was at 1091. The contents of the Message had not given satisfaction to the American merchants. ONE CLOSING RIt.'ES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns..

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 30.—0 n the 31st inst. all the -cmsphore or telegraph stations, from the Admiralty Whitehall to this dockyard, will be closed and their occupants discharged, the masts of the tele graphs being housed in for the future. Such is the nature of an Admiralty order some time since issued and at present in force. The case of the semaphore officer is a hard one. The semaphore has been the borne of many a veteran ,ieutenant, the last berth to be given—the very last to be asked or accepted as long as a spark of hose remained of obtaining anything better, but now even this resource is no longer available. The following list shows the names, dates of commission as lieu tenants, at what semaphore employed, and the date \ of appointment thereto of those thus engaged, by whilt it will be seen that there is reason a "tra;l‹ for ta complaint : Lieutenant William V. Lee, Chelsea station ;^ds.4 of commission Oct. 27, 1827 ; date of appointrhent June 20, 1844. Lieutenant Lardner Dennys, Putney station ; dats j;,iarfch 6 commissionllB47.

Lieutenant John Wildey, Bedhampton station; date of commission Feb. 21, 1817 ; date of appointment Oct. 16, 1841. Lieutenant George Williamson, Portsmouth station; date of commission April 10, 1807; date of appoint ment March 10, 1842. Four of the above are Trafalgar men ; one was in Hotham's action of 1795 ; one was a mate in Sir Richard Strachan's actions in 1805 ; one was a Lieu- tenant of the Denmark in the Walcheren expedition ; one lost a leg at Navarino ; and all the others have distinguished themselves in their country's service. We are all aware of the proneness to derangement of the electric mode of communication, and its ser vices have not been available on some of the most portant and interesting occasions. What, for instance, would be easier than for any evil disposed person to cut the wires of the electric telegraph in any obscure place on this line ? The means of communication would be at once annihilated, and a considerable space of time lost in repairing the damage. Such mischief as this could not be perpetrated upon the semaphore; there the Government had an exclusive anct ..cafe, as well as speedy means of communicating their Om; wands or instructions always at their own disposak• It will now be dependent on the fallibility of the electric mode, for the officers and men of the semaphores once discharged, those heretofore valuable appliances to the sources of speedy intelligence cannot be worked again without a complete reorganization of the system of instruction, as it takes years to thoroughly comprehend the vocabulary of figures b% means of which all the Government notifications are made. Many of the assistants to lieutenants in the semaphores have been upwards of a quarter of a eerie tury acquiring and practising their duties. It will therefore be no easy task to resuscitate a 'system such as this, if once allowed to lapse into desuetude. At all events, whatever may be the resolution of the Adrniarlty with regard to the disposal of the stations and the telegraphs, we trust those who have hitherto looked to them as their last resource will receive some " consideration" for the less of their appointments, ..specially those who, from the shortness of their tenure or other ill luck, may more particularly have deserved compensation. The Cygnet brigantine will sail on Saturday, after post time, for the coast of Africa station. She takes out mails for Madeira, St. Jago (Cape Verds), Sierra Leone, Ascension, and St. Helena ; also 10,000/. in small specie to the latter island. Wind N.N.W., moderate breezes, and hazy wea ;her-5 P.M. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 29.—The schooner Undine, Cap rain Stribling, of Limerick, bound therefrom to London, came in yesterday, having on board Captain Conolley, formerly master of the brig Mary Anne, of Greenock, and three Irish pilots belonging to Lough Swilly, viz., Stephen Ferry, John Doughley, and John Ward. These four persons were on board the brig Mcry Anne, Captain Leitch, lying in the outer harbour of Lough Swilly, when, on the 14th instant, a violent storm arose from south-west, which caused her to part both anchors and cables, and drove the ship to sea. The pilot's boat, with a quantity of fish in her, was swamped, and went down alongside the brig. No doubt the relatives consider the pilots drowned. On the 19th, the Mary Anne fell in with the Undine, and placed the four on board the schooner. The Mary Anne pursued her voyage to Trinidad, in the West Indies. At that time the Undine was near the south coast of Ireland, but she has experienced very heavy weather, lost sails, &c., and has been com pelled to put in here. ROYAL ARTILLERY.
