BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 9, BEDFORD-STREET, NBEDFORD.SQUARE, LONDO, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the ftilfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of mere importance 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 plyiag to a qualified physician for relief.

In acting thus, lie forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva 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 be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ens hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldforw an item in the compact ; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wounefmere sorely than poverty or misfortune.

The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Morning Chronicle : Sir,—The crisis is over. Lord John Russell has " stood between the :dead and the living, and the plague is stayed." The country will not soon forget his determination, and he will reap a rich reward in the general confidence which will be awarded to him. Henceforth we shall no longer present to surrounding nations the monstrous spectacle of a community richer beyond comparison than any other in the habit able world—advanced in the same proportion in arts, sc i en ces, manufactures, and commer ce , l aunc hi ng without reserve into free trade, and at the same time restricting its monetary operations by a law worthy of the middle ages. No longer can we be taunted with the absurdity of falling down upon our knees to render thanks to Heaven for an abundant harvest, and at the same time frustrating, as far as in us lies, the beneficent designs of Providence—" M agnas inter opes inops." The Ministerial plan is perhaps the best, which, under all circumstances, could have been devised to meet the present evil. It is at once liberal and safe. The destruction of the principle of the Bill is complete, and the high rate of interest which the Bank of England must charge for extra accommodation secures the country against any drain of gold for external purposes. In the midst, however, of general rejoicings, it is impossible to abstain from asking the humiliating question—For what purpose has the country been brought to the verge of ruin and exposed to such dire suffering ? Was there no one who could foresee the operation of this Bill, and, foreseeing, could provid e against it. Alas ! Sir, all this was foreseen, and a provision against th cala mitywasof earnestly banking,s b o g h u t t f o b r y , n t o h t e b Nyih ele ya n y b in the artendoycoef London bankers, with one solitary important ex ception. The memorial to Sir Robert Peel foretelling the contingency, and asking for a safety valve, at one time included among its s i g natures the eminent firm of Messrs. Jones Lloyd and Co.; but Mr. Samuel Jones Lloyd having written a pamphlet, which served in a great measure as the foundation of the Bill, induced his father to withdraw the sig nature of their firm, and it is to be feared that the weight which was then attached to his opinion led Sir Robert Peel to disregard the collective opinion of the whole body of bankers. Was this wise—was it seemly ? However, we have seen the result. The measure has been exposed to the experirnentum crucis. It has broken down, and the relief granted is far more ample than was humbly but earnestly sought for by the bankers in 1844. It is to be hoped that the les sons of experience will not now be lost upon us—that in the construction of the new Bill which must super sede the condemned Act of 1844, some consideration will be given to the opinions of men whose whole We -1 time has been spent in the pursuit of legitimate banking. This remark is applicable no less to the nature of the measure which the Government may bring for ward for the regulation of the currency, than to the constitution of the executive of the Bank of England itself. Let the public bear this in mind—that whereas in France three fourths of the board of directors of the National Bank are themselves able and experienced bankers. The Bank of England admits no private bankers into their board ; vacancies are filled up by the nominees of the existing board, who no doubt value highly this patronage. But would not the confidence of the public in the administration of the law which reposes such power in their hands, be much increased if a portion at least of the board con sisted of men who had previously distinguished themselves in the management of their own banking business, and who had won the respect of their fellow citizens by a long career of usefulness? Is it pro bable that under such an administration we should have witnessed such vacillating conduct as has cha racterised the proceedings of the Bank of England during the last few years—at one time encouraging speculation by forcing out their notes at a very low price, and then suddenly pulling up, and spreading panic throughout the country ? These are serious questions for the consideration of thinking men, and are respectfully submitted to you, for further elucidation, by Your obedient servant, A LONDON BANKER. London, Oct. 25. We understand that, owing to temporary pressure, the firm of Charles Sutherland and Co., produce brokers, have been compelled to suspend payment. Strong efforts, it is said, however, will be made to re sume, and it is considered not improbable that these may prove successful. S N 9 OCTOBER 26, 1847.

SUSPENSION OF THE BANK CHARTER BILL. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—It is with no little embarrassment that we approach the great act of Ministerial responsibility which we announced yesterday afternoon. We are bound to make every allowance for the peculiar diffi culties and anxieties of those who are placed at the helm, and also to take into account their peculiar opportunities of information. The man who has to stand in the gap and be the foremost and most osten sible champion of a principle in its worst hour of trial, has no easy post, and, if he gives way, demands rather compassion than reproof. We can only judge, how ever, by what we see and know. Though we should believe that Ministers found it morally im possible to stand against the manifold appeals to their pity or their terror, yet that is no reason why we should give up our own deliberate opinions. We also are exposed to a storm of remonstrances. They do not shake our resolution, however much they may interfere with our comfort. We do not give way. Should it be answered that a journalist can easily afford to be obstinate, we beg to reply that journalists and Chancellors of the Exchequer are amenable to one and the same law—the law of re sults. Very few months will pronounce the ap proval or the condemnation of the present Ministerial course. Should the verdict of time be against us, we shall not be permitted to forget our mistaken and ill-timed dissent. We have plenty of neighbours who will only be too happy to recal that fact to our own and the public recollection. The Ministerial measure is a remedy for a temporary panic, not for a real, a permanent, and an increasing pressure. If this be little more than a panic, if confidence is all that is wanted, if hoarding is to be discouraged, employ ment set free, and enterprise invited; if also these objects were not attainable in. any other way, then, undoubtedly, Government bas `Slone the right thing. This supposition has, however, but slender founda tion. It rests only on a hopeful and too confiding temperament. There is a panic, it is true, and just now a very wild and ridiculous panic, driving men to foolish and cowardly proceedings. But there is also an actual pressure—a pressure which has been gradually increasing for more than a twelvemonth, which, under existing circumstances, is likely to in crease, and which may very possibly soon be aggra vated to any conceivable degree by events quite within the scope of possibility, not to say more. The fact of the pressure thus far is a matter of history, and cannot be denied. The question is—Will it last ? and how long ? We answer—Yes ; because the causes are still in operation. It is almost for bidden to speak of railways, potatoes, and cotton, to ears polite. We mention them not for the sake of the past, but just to remind the people of two impor tant facts—first, that through the vast increase of our imports and diminution of our exports, we are at this moment rather deep in the books of the foreigner; secondly, that imports are likely to continue very great, and exports are certain to remain very low. This condition of affairs can only lead to one possible result, —the same as that which would infallibly happen to the journeyman whd should go on importing into his tenement meat, drink, and clothing, to the value of thirty shillings a week, all the time only exporting work to no greater amount than twenty-five shillings. His capital, if he had any, would snffer a continual drain. Such is the drain now before us. A refer ence to the past—the merest glance of retrospection— is sufficient to show that Government has not hitherto sufficiently realised the grave and growing character of this pressure. They refer to last April. The panic of last April subsided ; but the pressure did not. That Ministers fully thought their difficulties over may be presumed from the circumstance that before the end of that month they brought for ward again the proposition of lending 620,000/. to certain Irish railways. The subsequent six months have not justified the wisdom of that security. It is due to ourselves to olsserve, that when the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer think fit to say, in their note to the autho rities of the Bank, that they were encouraged to expect the prevailing distrust would subside, "by the speedy cessation of a similar state of feeling in the month of April last," we have not the honour to be included in that statement. If they will do us the favour to read some remarks that appeared in this place on the 28th of April, they will find our distrust had in no wise abated ; but that, on the contrary, we felt less confidence than ever, in consequence of the Irish railway loan ; and were emboldened to pre dict circumstantially, and to the very letter, the pre sent most melancholy condition of affairs. The mea sure destined, we cannot but fear, to give to October 25, 1847, rather a disastrous prominence in the chronicles of trade, will allay the panic and increase the pressure. It will give a new start to all the causes which have lately so much augmented expenditure,but checked and hampered reproduction. We do not, therefore, anticipate any immediate ill effects. It is for the future that we fear. The Bank Charter Act is vir tually surrendered. The purposes of that Act may, perhaps, be supplied by other arrangements; but a new principle is introduced. Government now comes forward as a great money-lender. It proposes to bolster up the credit of the country by increasing the circulation. That is an impossible attempt. When• ever the new principle shall come into actual ope ration, it will be found that Government can lend its gold, but cannot at its will force an additional quan tity of paper into use. A few days may pass, a few weeks, or even a few months may elapse, before the new principle is put t o th e p roo f. When it is, it will be seen whether we can diminish the gold in the Bank without inducing a panic, a run for gold, and other disasters far more serious than those which it was the object of the measure to obviate. Except so far as the measure certainly does an pear in its tendency a fatal blow to "Peel's Bill," we are bound to say that it is guarded with about as good securities as a Government wishing to inspire confidence could possibly require. For the present the minimum of 8 per cent. is not likely to interrupt the loan of foreign credit or the influx of foreign gold. The Continental capitalists will still have scope for a harvest. The appropriation suggested for the extra profit derived from this measure is one not likely to provoke a n y unwonted display o f lib era lity in Threadneedle -st ree t. T he discount is c l a i me d f or the public chest, w h ere it will possibly be wanted before long to p ay a premium f or go ld. Government also ev id ently intends t o k ee p the measure in hand, and stop when it sees breakers ahead. The difficulty, however, is when to stop. There will be temptation on all sides to go on. The experience of this as well as other countries assures us that there are times when a large profit may be made by means of capital bor rowed at Bor 9 per cent. The borrower can well afford to purchase produce depreciated 20 or 30 per cent. below of good o its linen s average th e present state of th e s h are mar k e t, w h e n th e shares sell price even at this rate. In at little more than half their productive value, and when n i ne ty-five days may see a great change for the better, it will answer to purchase them e ven with money b orr owed for "J. R u ssell" and "C. Wood." It is possible, therefore, that the facilities now offered may soon be sought, and the measure come into actual operation. Should that be the case, the Government will find itself in a new dilemma. It will again have to elect for itself, on its own responsibility, whether to go on expand ing, or trying to expand the credit and paper of the country, or to impose by the stroke of a pen that check which it did not retain in the regular operation of the Bill. CHRONICLE. —We feel that we may safely con gratulate both the Min istr y and the country on the events of yesterday. An act of prompt and vigorous statesmanship has rescued the_ one from the fate which inevitably overtak es the feeble, the mi sgu id e d, and the pusillanimous; and the abrogation of a dangerous and irritating law has conferred upon the other a welcome and necessary interval of rest, after a perio • d of excitement and collision which will for ever render the closing m onths of the present year a melancholy page in the history of our country and our commerce. At present we chiefly see and feel the immediate blessings of the relief in its reviving influence over a prostrate credit and a stagnant indus try. We behold the re turn of a tinge of cheerf u l ness over a landscape from which we have seen with so much solicitude the departure, day by day, of first one ray of sunshine and then another, until the advent of an utter darkness appeared to be close at hand. Our marts and our exchanges are again instinct with a hopeful activi ty, and under the impulse of a pardonable alacrity we are in haste to conclude that a measure, of which the benificence is so soon and so plainly apparent, may well content itself with the testimonials which the happy transitions of the present moment so profusely furnish of its wisdom n e t that, to the students of c and its efficacy. We suspect a future and less deeply interested generation, the relief, instant and salutary great though it be, will t secondary consideration. become by far the perceivemost that the timely They will not fail to at a critical juncture inter vention of the royal prerogative trial a severeand a great was the means of averting scandal from the institutions of the country ; tbat a people smarting under an accumulation of evils, which by the most persevering and patient argument gency as:the ' /,- , - -question. They ac qu i esce " a ll th a t basze,ver ap peared in this journal on t subject. " ' Majesty's )6 ,0 Government," say L or d ohn Russell Sir Charles Olrood, by w h om th e l etter to the ank directors 'is signed,—" her Majesty's Government have seen with the deepest regret the pressure which has existed for some weeks upon the commercial in terests of the country, and that this pressure has to been aggravated by a wan t o f t h at confidence which o tra v d en They e. transactionsha v e b o e f e n a s i n p e o h o o l p a e t i s is necessary f or carry i ng on the ordinary dealings of transfer of cap i tal from other countries, bullion, and th e feeling which k the influx o f v e that character, a ra the ot e r check ec k the a now of these circumstances might have been expected to produce, would have removed the prevailing distrust. They were encouraged in thi s expectation b by the speedy cessation of a similar state of feeling in the month of April last. These hopes, however, have been disap pointed, and her Majesty's Government have come to the conclusion that the time has • arrived when they ought to attempt, by some extraordinary and tempo rary measure, to restore confid ence to the mercantile and manufacturing community." Th e measure which Ministers have adopted for relieving the existing pressure is at least sufficiently simple. There is nothing complicated about it. It is easy of compre hension. The Bank is to be allowed to make ad vances, irrespective of the amount of gold in its coffers, on the public securities, on Exchequer-bills, and on bills of exchange, not having more than ninety-five days to run. The period for which the advances are to be made is to be left to the discretion of the Bank directors—only the rate of interest is not to be less than eight per cent. Eight per cent. is so high a rate of interest, that it will, in a great measure, neutralise the benefit of which the measure would otherwise have been pro ductive. It is more than business generally can afford to pay out of the profits. It will, nevertheless, be welcomed by many a struggling house of the highest respectability. They will be content to pay more than a fair rate of interest for temporary ac commodation, in the hope of the speedy advent of a better state of things. The great peculiarity of the crisis has been, that houses of undoubted sol vency could not obtain the needed accommodation on any terms. The Bank was not in a condition to afford them the required aid, however unexcep tionable the securities, and however high the rate of interest they tendered for the accommodation. The necessary result has been that houses of un questioned solvency have fallen, one after the other, in rapid succession ; and had Ministers not inter posed, it is more than probable that, before Christ mas, we should hardly have had a house of any note which would not have been either hopelessly paralysed or entirely prostrate in the dust. The Ministerial measure will not fully meet the exigen cies of the case. Had the rate of interest been fixed at six per cent., it would have been productive of great and immediate benefit. It would have had the effect of restoring confidence, and by that means bringing out from their dark recesses enormous quan tities of money, which have been hoarding for the last four months, and which, we verily believe, must, by.this time, have accumulated to the extent of nearly 10,000,0001. The measure will have this effect in a modified degree, but it will fall far short of what a really liberal scheme of relief would have accom plished. It is to be regretted, for the sake of Mi nisters themselves, as well as for the sake of the country, that when they had made up their minds to do something for the relief of the monetary pressure, they did not resolve on bringing forward an effective measure. It has always been the misfortune of the Whigs, when in office, to prove themselves bad financiers. Here is another instance. It is a half and-half measure. It does not go to the root of the evil—it only deals with the indications of the disease which are visible on the surface. But, as we said before, it is something to have ob tained so distinct a recognition of the principle, that it is the right and duty of the Government to afford relief to the mercantile interest in times of such severe pressure as those through which the country is now passing. In the mere fact of their interposition, we have a confirmation of all we have ever said on this subject. We have all through maintained, that however resolutely Ministers might withstand for a time, the appeals made to them for monetary relief, they would not be able long to resist those appeals. We saw and said from the first, that they must succumb—that they must yield to an inex orable necessity. We mentioned that Ministers were made of " squeezable " stuff, and that all that was wanting was a little further application of the mer cantile screw. Our predictions have been verified to the letter. We have have said that though the mea sure will not work the wonders which some had hoped to witness, yet that it will have a decidedly beneficial effect. It will work all the more advantageously, in consequence of a concurrence of favourable circumstances. The exchanges are in our favour, and are likely to continue so for some time. Gold is beginning to pour in, not only from the con tinent, but from America. The importations of corn from abroad are well nigh at an end for at least six months, while large orders are on hand for British manufactures to be sent abroad. This must soon have the effect of bringing about the desirable con summation—a balance of trade in our favour. No speculation of any kind is going on just now; stocks of British manufactured goods are exceedingly low. Business is everywhere conducted on the last cautious principle. Every mercantile man has of late been contracting his liabilities, and the Franken stein of railway calls has all but vanished from the scene ; or, if still visible, he is not the monster he was. The commerce of the country will no longer look on railway calls in the terrible light in which it has hitherto regarded them. Distrust and depression are already on the wane. It is to be hoped they will soon disappear altogether, and that, after the dark and dreary night through which we have passed, a brighter and better day will dawn upon England. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The suspension of the Bank Charter Bill, announced to-day, has produced;a complete monetary revolution. Consols for money, which closed on Saturday at 80, opened this morning at 811 to i. From this they declined to 80 ; but a notification was then made by the Bank broker, that in confor mity with a correspondence held between the Bank and the Government, advances would be made upon stock, Exchequer bills, and bills of exchange, at the rate of 8 per cent., such advances to be for periods of not less than a fortnight or more than three weeks (according to present arrangements), and in sums of not less than 2,0001. Upon this Consols jumped up to 814. A reaction afterwards took place to 811; but they recovered again, and closed at 811 to 82. After business hours a most extraordinary further movement took place, and they went to 82f to 81. For the:Account they began at 82i; declined to 88*, went up to 83, and closed at 82i to f. Sub sequent transactions occurred at 83i. That the Bank Charter Bill should have been vir tually extinguished at the moment of its first severe trial can hardly be said to have been an unexpected event. That the step should have been announced this morning, however, is very generally a matter of astonishment Had it been occasioned by a combined movement of its enemies during the pressure in the middle of last week, or had its doom been fore' old for the very first night of the next session of Parlia ment, no one would have felt surprise. Those who most admired its principle saw too plainly the effects of its immutable action to look on with anything but apprehension when the question of its existence was to be decided by the voluntary acquiescence of those upon whom its stern lesson was to be enforced. In calm discussion, and amidst almost universal approval, the Bill was passed. It was to provide a restraint against national folly whenever it should reach the extent of endangering national credit, but there was no possibility of ensuring that this provision, made in soberness, should be voluntarily acquiesced in when excitement might reach its height. It was admirable to see the pledge taken, but it was also easy to fore tell the probability of its being broken. But, let that event occur when it might, it was always supposed it would be during the rush, and not at the subsidence of a panic. On Frid ay, in London, everything indicated a greater feeling of steadi ness. ' On Saturday accounts cam e from Liverpool of a " perceptible improvement;" from Manchester it was 'reported, " everything here continues quiet, and there is a more hop e f u l feeling beginning to prevail ;" while from America we had tidings of bullion on its way, to the extent of upwards of a quarter o f a million. With Monday came reports of a mee ti ng of at Newcastle— o negreat centres of excitement —expressing unreserved confidence in the banks, coupled with accounts of persons bringing back their money, and being ver to depo s it it ; while f y p Amster dam, and all parts of the Conti nen t, came t idi ngs o f even larger s hi pments of gold than those which had been ann ounce d from America. meeting in th e metropolis,ro properly r e f use d perm i ss i on rom St. Petersburgh, ca. At this moment a similar to that at New castle, would mos t probably have been the only thing needed to compl e t e th e restoration of conf i dence — at least, of that kind of confidence which renders the' legitimate trader safe, while it leaves the speculator still powerless. But the bankers of London raised. no word of response to the provinces. Complaining of the " want of confidence," they performed what they considered to be their duty to their country in answering the improved feeling by a terrified rush to Downing-street. That movement having been successful, the ' Go vernment has now fairly taken the crisis onitsown shoulders. The consequences ma y easil y be foreseen.
