--------- -- -
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 f Dr. La Bert, himself one of the few
legally 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 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 requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO RAISE THE
DUCHESS OF KENT STEA-11ER.
Yesterday a successful effort was made to raise this
v e,st-1 from the place where she lay in mid channel, be-
tvveett Northfleet and Grays, and which had become a
matter of the utmost necessity, in order to remove the
obstruction to the navigation of the river.
At low water, yesterday morning, all the preliminary
arrangrments having been completed, the chains were
listened down and tightened as much as possible, and a
fresh chain secured to the mainshaft of the engine, in
lieu of one which bad broken the preceding day. Mr.
Bell, the captain of the divers, descended in person to
see that all was secured below water. Three chains
being passed underneath the bottom of the sunken
vessel, and others secured to the engine, were passed
over and secured to the two barges and lighter.
After the tide had risen to some height it was evident
that a great strain was exerted upon the chains attached
to the engine of the sunken vessel, and on that which
was passed underneath her stern, those being the chains
which had the greatest weight attached to them. The
vessels were, at length, observed to move, and the little
flotilla drifted slowly away with the tide and wind, which
showed that the sunken vessel was off the ground and
moving. In this manner they drifted slowly for
about two hours and a half, by which-time a distance of
about three-quarters of a mile up the river, towards
Grays, had been made. Having got into shallower water
the bottom of the sunken vessel was found to touch the
ground, and no further progress could be then accom-
plished.
On taking soundings it was found that there were ten
fathoms of water where she lay, being three fathoms less
than where she had been moved from. The next step
will be to bring her into still shallower water, and gra-
iant ht

water mark, the sand will be, cleared out, and the wreck
made water-tight, in order to be towed up the river,

The success which attended the undertaking yester-
day has now placed the recovery of the sunken vessel
almost beyond a doubt, and its final accomplishment is to
be attributed in a great measure to the skill and science
displayed in the arduous undertaking, which was con-
ducted under the superintendence of Mr. James-Grier,
engineer, and an experienced body of divers, under Mr.
