The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
lczally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and i
academic honours at home and abroad, is In itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requi:ehaidu

trading-vessel Joseph, of this port, who lately arrived at Hull from
Riga, I transmit to you a copy, which you will feel to be your duty
to publish to all the world.

con-
vinced, that they were the means of preserving my own life as well

C,uonllde
" On my arrival at Riga, I commenced taking the pills as a pre-
ventive or preparation for attack, to stay its violence if assailed ;
by which means a free passage through the body prevented the in-
fectious air from producing that fatal cramp in the stomach and
limbs which has caused the death of thousands. On the 28th of
May, however, I was most violently seized with that dreadful dis-
order, and for the first four hours was in a deplorable state • but,
thank Clod, from the precautions I had used, the noxious air had
passed through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp,
and a few strong doses of the Universals soon restored me to health.
All my men, except one (who was too timid to take the Pills with
sufficient strength, from the fear )f being too violently purged,
who died in a few hours), took the Pills night and morning, and
were saved.
" To satisfy the poor fellow who lied, I got him soma medicine on
shore, but it took no effect in tho last, as he ceased to exist soon
after, first becoming cold as a lump of ice; and of a dark blue co-
lour. I cannot think the cholera itfections are contagious from the
touch, as none of us were affected from handling the corpse.
" I left Riga on the Bth of June. and got down to BaUldra the
same day, all well, but on the 10th the mate and a boy were both
taken ill with this dreadful disease, and for six days were in a dis-
tressing state; but with a close ani powerful application of the Pills
were restored to full health.
" I am happy to say I have every reason to believe that this me-
dicine alone is all-sufficient to stop the ravages of this dreadful evil,
but that its powers are best applied at an early stage, or as a prepa7
rative.
The value of the medicine was in the highest estimation at
Riga, and great lamentations were made at the scanty supply that
could be obtained from me and the rest of the vessels who had sup-
plies from you. Had I had 100/ worth more I could have sold them
all, even to the French doctorsthat were there."
The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland from those
vessels which had supplies of the medicines out, speak with raptures
of their efficacy.

BIamiNGTIAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.--A serious
Blip of the embankment of this line of railway, in the exca•
vation between Temple-row and Monmouth-street, Birming-
ham, took place on Friday evening. About sixty yards of
massive brickwork, four feet thick and between thirty and
forty feet high, gave way and fell with a tremendous crash
on the line of railway. Various out-buildings fell at the
same time. Mr. 13runel and several of the directors had
been on the line only a short time before Although the
damage is extensive, it is believed that it will not cause the
postponement of the opening of the line. Fortunately, no
persons were injured, as the slip was anticipated some hours
previously.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS OF TUTS DAY.
HER ALD.—Iu our article on Saturday on the
proceedings of the Bishop of Exeter, we
perhaps
ought to have stated the fact, that Mr. Prynne had
denied having received the girl in question for con-
fession ; but we were led away f romthe consideration
of that point by the language of the Bishop in his
judgment, in which he assumes as true the fact that
Mr. Prynne did actually receive the confession, which
Mr. Prynne in one place ,g solem ly assures" the
Bishop he never did receive, althoughn certainly in
another place he admits that be had once a short
conversation with the girl on " the subject
Putting of con
aside,
firmation and holy communion."
however, for the present the point, whether or ornot
the scenes, as described by the girls, really did
pass at confession with Mr. Prynne; let us inquire
to what extent at confession, according to his own
showing, Mr. Prynne admits that he will go, at
the same time remembering that it is that
same extent which the Bishop justifies and approves.
" I beg to assure your Lordship," says Mr. Prynne
in his written address to the Bishop, " that I never
put any such questions to any one in my life as are
suggested in the statement, or anything like such
questions. I should deem it as corrupting to do so
as lam sure your Lordship would." So far so good.
We have nothing to find fault with in this general
and positive denial. But then comes the qualification
—" I put questions," he says, " under the circum-
stances which I have already stated to your Lord..
ship—viz., in order to assist a person to make a com-
plete confession of sins, which they have upon their
conscience„but have a difficulty is naming, or in order,
sometimes, where they seem ignorant, to bring more
fully home to their conscience the degree of their
guilt." * * "On the seventh commandment,
I trust I have been most cautious not to
suggest evil to the penitent, but judicious
questions." Here, then, we have a deli-
berate explanation by Mr. Prynne, addressed
to his diocesan, of the ordinary rules by
which he is guided at confession. From
that explanation we learn that the seventh com-
mandment is a subject-matter of confession, and
that :although he has been " most cautious not do
suggest evil," he has, nevertheless, suggested " judi-
cious questions." Now, we should really be glad if
Mr. Prynne would explain what possible " questions,"
on such a subject, he imagines can be " judi-
cious" without some admixture of " evil." But the
preceding part of his explanation throws a pretty
strong light upon the nature of these " questions.
They are put, he says, "in order to assist a person
to make a complete confession of sins which they have
a difficulty in naming." Now what can these sins
be which those who come to confession " have a
difficulty in naming" but sins of sensual impurity,
which the apostle says " ought not so much as to
be named amongst you ?" Mr. Prynne, therefore,
admits that he encourages " the penitent" (accord-
ing to the avowed practice of the Popish Church) to
make to him, in gross terms, filthy sensual reve-
lations, which one man ought to be ashamed to
make to another, but which this middle-aged clergy-
man of the Church of England entices females to
make to him, even when they have " a difficulty in
naming them," under the foul and wretched pretence
of enabling them to relieve their consciences by con-
fession. We do not think that we ever in our lives
read a more revolting statement than this explanation
of Mr. Prynne's. That a Romanist priest snould be
guilty of such loathsome proceedings is so far excu-
sable, that it is inculcated on him as a duty by the
anti-Christian Church of which he has the misfortune
to be a minister ; but that a clergyman of our Pro-
testant Church should thus undisguisedly confess to
practices so sinful and disgusting, betrays an obli-
quity in his moral sense, and an indifference to the
first principles of the pure religion of Jesus Christ,
which fill the mind with mingled feelings of awe and
indignation. Would that we could stop here. But,
alas ! alas ! this disgusting conduct is actually com-
mended by one of the prelates of our Church. The man
who avows it is singled out by his Bishop for his
special countenance and favour ! The Bishop says
that " he acquits Mr. Prynne of holding doctrine not
in accordance with the Church of England!" The
Bishop, moreover, avers that it is a fitting employ..
meat for a clergyman of his diocese to sit and listen
to a young girl of twelve years old, detailing " hor-
rors" of the most extreme impurity ; and if perchance
she has any modesty left, and she experiences some
" difficulty in naming, by the right names, the filthy
actions of which she has been guilty, or if perchance
" she seemed ignorant" how to do so with correctness,
then the Bishop approves of this clergyman putting
such questions to her as shall remove her " difficulty"
and inform her " ignorance," so that she may " make
a complete confession of her sins." " I must say,"
said this Right Reverend Father in God, Henry, Lord
Bishop of Exeter, " I must say, from all that has
been produced to-day, I entirely acquit Mr. Prynne,
even of indiscretion in receiving confession?' Such is
the language of the Bishop of Exeter ! We dare not
trust ourselves to comment on it.
POST.—An inquiry has recently been held at
Plymouth, by the Bishop of Exeter, into the conduct
of a clergyman, charged with having received certain
confessions in a manner repugnant to the principles of
the Church of England. It would be desirable, if
possible, to exclude questions of religious controversy
from the daily papers. But we live in an age when
the Church is passing through a severe ordeal—in an
age, too, when the press is enlisted on every aide of
every subject. It is, therefore, not possible, greatly
as we desire it, to avoid at all times the discussion of
theological questions. This must be our apology for
offering a few remarks upon the case of the Rev. G. R.
Prynne. That gentlemen has, it appears, been in the
habit of receiving to confession certain persons in his
district, and amongst them some young persons con-
nected with Miss Sellon's establishment at Eldad.
This coming to the ears of certain parties not of the
same theological principles as Mr. Prynne, an inquiry
is set ou foot among some of the young persons who
had gone to confession. The consequence is, that
two or three clergymen at Plymouth, well known as
the leaders of every kind of opposition to the
Bishop and to High Church principles in general,
lodged with the Bishop a formal complaint against
Mr. Prynne, which resolved itself into these four
charges :
1. The confessional is within the church.
2. That the confession is carried on secretly, not as
in Roman Catholic churches, where the parties
may be seen by the passers-by.
3. That (at least in the case of the girls belonging
to the Orphans' Home) it is periodically and
compulsively carried on.
4. That this compulsive and periodical system is
enforced upon very young children, i. e., from
twelve years of age.
These charges, the Bishop decided, did not bring
Mr. Prynne within the operation of any spiritual or
temporal law; and he therefore adopted a purely
extra-judicial course. He fixed a day for the ac-
cusers and accused to appear face to face befor him
in the presence of a select number of clergy and laity,
and seven reporters for the press. The reason of such
an arrangement is not very obvious. It surely rested
with the Bishop, as Bishop, to investigate a charge
against a presbyter without holding a meeting for
the purpose, and that, too, under circumstances which
made it utterly impossible to come to a correct con-
clusion on the matter. We remember a previous
occasion when the same Bishop held a similar meeting
to investigate charges against the management of
Miss Sellon's institution, and nothing could bemore
unsatisfactory than the termination of that inquiry.
Not that it prejudiced Miss Sellon or her cause in
the least, but it left the matter in as much obscurity
as at first, with the additional disadvantage, that
reports got circulated amongst the public, andwent
the round of the papers, which from their very num-
ber and vaguity could never be authentically contra-
dicted; and thus a cause, good, probably, in itself,
was injured by unskilful treatment. So, in the pre-
sent case, a statement has gone forth through all the
papers which does not clear up a single difficulty in-
volved in the inquiry. The Bishop has, indeed, ac-
quitted Mr. Prynne of all blame, and we are not
going to find fault with the Bishop's opinion. But
it is very clear that that opinion
was derived from
sources independent of Mr. Prynne's own reply to
the charges, and therefore extremely unsatisfactory to
those who, from the irregular
ar manner in which the pro-
ceediugs of the meeting
from all chance of f • on the sub-
were conducted, are debarred
forming a fair conclusion
ject. We have, therefore, much fault to fie
nc
do
dfirst,ly ,
h
the constitution of the eeting. and,
the course of its proceedings. For the first, it is veryo
m s withwt
clear that Mr. llatchard, and the clergymencauht
caught
a with him, conceived that they had at last
a High Churchman tripping, and with that bitterness
which they always
manifest towards their Bishop
whenever they have a chance, they resolved upon a
public agitation in Plymouth on the question of auri-
cular confession, which was enforced, so they • sae 1, by
Prynne, under circumstances even more objec-
tionable than in the practice of the Roman Church.
As a preliminary, they forward a formal complaint
to the Bishop,
and when the Bishop proposes a com-
paratively private investigation, Mr. Iletchard and
Mr. Childs most loudly complain, demanding that
every partidular should be published and the meeting
be a thoroughly open one. It was the old cry over
again, "The public must be satisfied." The absur-
