This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
liter years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ing misery and regret.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
BRISTOL AND EXETER.

A special general meeting of the above company was
held yesterday (Friday) at the White Lion Hotel, Bris-
tol, J. W. Buller, Esq., chairmen of the company, in the
chair, for the purpose of having submitted to it drafts of
the following Bill :-Ist, a Bill to extend the powers of
the Act relating to the Yeovil branch of the Bristol and
Exeter Railway, and to authorise a deviation in the
line of such branch railway; 2nd, a Bill for making
a railway from Highblidge to Glastonbury, in the
county of Somerset, to be called the Somerset Central
Railway.
The Caerhatax said that he could not explain the ob-
jects of the meeting more clearly than they were ex-
plained by the advertisement—it was merely to approve
the Bills, which had already been submitted to the share-
holders, in order that the .solicitors might give evidence
before the House of Lords of that fact.

The solicitors havini, read the drafts of the Bills,
Mr. BoucnErt objected' to the power being given to ex-
tend the subscription to the Central Somerset Company
from 10,0001. to 13,0001.

The CHAIRMAN explained that it was only power
given, but which could not be used without the consult
of the shareholderJ; but there was no intention at present
to extend the subscription.
The SECRETARY also explained that it might be
important fur them to have two directors at the Central
Somerset board, but Lord Redesdale would not allow
them to have two directors at the board unless the sub-
scription was made 13,0001 Lord Redesdale thought
two directors too large a proportion for a subscription
of 10,0001.

In reply to a question,
Mr. MICHAEL CASTLE said the cost of the railway was
estimated at 70,000/., but he thought it would cost some-
what more.

Resolutions approving the Bills were carried unani-
mously, and the meeting broke up.

GREAT WESTERN.—A meeting 13 to be held at De-
vizes to consider the expediency of an extension of the
