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 an 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
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.

THE COUN TRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, AUG. 19.—The weather is still unsettled

IRELAND.
LORD EGLINTOUN IN THE WEST.
DUBLIN; THURSDAY.---At 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the Lord-Lieutenant, the Countess of Eg-
lintoun and suite, left the terminus of the Midland
Railway at Broadstone by special train for Galway,
for the purpose• of visiting the great cattle show. The
journey from end to end was accomplished in or
about four hours, the train reaching the Galway
terminus shortly after 2 o'clock. The Viceregal party
was received on the platform by a large con-
course of the gentry of the town and county,
who loudly cheered them. His Lordship then pro-
ceeded to the hOuse of Mr. Arthur Ireland, at the en-
trance to the terminus, escorted by a troop of the 3d
Dragoon Guards, and accompanied by the local
committee of the 'cattle show and some of the rail-
way directors. There was a large number of the
townspeople collected in front of the hotel. Having
taken half an hour's rest, his Excellency notified his
intention of receiving the addresses which it was in-
tended to present to him. The first was from the
citizens of Galsvaytwhich was succeeded by those of
the town commissioners, the members of the Galway
Institution, the cattle show committee, and of the
county at large, to each of which his Excellency re-
turned a suitable reply. The Queen's College will
be visited this day, when an address from the heads
of that excellent institution will be presented. At
half-past three o'clock their Excellencies proceeded to
visit the show-yard. On appearing in the street a
cheer similar to that at their arrival was raised.
Their Excellencies were accompanied in their visit
round 'the yard by the Duke of Leinster, Lord Clan-
carty, the High Sheriff of the county, Mr. T. A.
Joyce, and several other noblemen and gentlemen.
Their Excellencies returned to their residence at five
o'clock.

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION.
During the late contest for the representation of
Mayo, the stipendiary magistrate (Mr. Kirwan), to
whom was entrusted the charge of preserving the
Queen's peace, had the indiscretion, to use no harsher
to address in his official capacity a letter to the
Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese, thanking that
right reverend functionary and certain of his subor-
dinate clergy for • their " heroic" exertions towards
-the maintenance of order tit a period of great public
excitement. This, considering the position which
Mr. Kirwan occupied,. naturally caused some asto-
nishment ; so much so, indeed, that on the first ap-
pearance of the letter the Nation newspaper pro-•
nounced it to be a hoax. The document, however,
was perfectly genuine, and, the attention of the Go-
vernment having been directed to it by a memorial
presented on behalf of the gentry,
magistrates, and
inhabitants of Ballina, praying that the Lo i
rd-Leu-
tenant would be pleased to grant an inquiry upon
oath into the charges preferred against Mr. Kirwan,
an answer has been returned by the Under-Secre-
tary, stating that the prayer of the memorial shall be
complied with. The investigation will take place im-
mediately.

LORD SHREWSBURY ON JESUITISII.
The Dublin Telegraph contains a lengthened report
of the " collegiate
exercises at Mount Melleray
Abbey," in the county of Waterford, which took
place on Monday last.
The " Lord Abbot" pre-
sided, and, in the course of the proceedings, the Very
Rev. Dr. Fogarty,
of Lismore , read the following
extract from a letter which he had received from his,
friend, the " noble Catholic Earl of Shrewsbury,'
dated from Palermo, in which his Lordship, speaking
of the system of collegiate education, sought to
be established in opposition to the Catholic system,

THE SIXMILE•BRIDGE INQUEST--TE VERDICT.
The long-enduring patience of the public has at
length been rewarded, and, after a waste of fourteen
days,
the most exemplary of coroners deemed that
the ends of justice were satisfied, and yesterday de-
livered a rather elaborate charge to the jury, who
retired shortly before three o'clock,
and at twenty
minutes to five the foreman caused it to be announced
in open court that twelve of their number had agreed
to a verdict. At this time the court was densely
crowded, and the utmost anxiety was evinced to learn
Gl:e‘sVoen
the result of this most protracted inquiry. The jury
eaJohn
t", John
having come into court, the foreinan announced that
twelve of the jurors had agreed to a particular finding,
and they resolved to have the verdict drawn up in a
legal form.
The CORONER then read the finding, as follows :
Thompson, John Dwyer, James sharp e, Thomas Clarke, 1
and John Carter, soldiers of the 31st Regiment, are
a(rfierssoa.ti
jstiaemdetsharteJstoihntig9C,
W. Ddellimaniegße
guilty of the wilful murder of Jereiltah Frawley."
Five jurors dissented from the verdict. Their
names are—John Holman, It. B. Walton, William
Mahon, William Morri4, and Patrick Mahon.
Mr. William Mahon stated, that although the
had not agreed to the above verdict they did not ac-
quit the soldiers of all criminality, and that they
would all have agreed to a verdict of manslaughter
by soldiers whose persons were not identified. The
five dissentient jurors also acquitted Mr. J. C. Del-
mege of having either fired himself or given any
orders to fire.
The jury were then requested to again retire and
consider their verdict as to the eause of death in the
other cases —namely, Michael Connellan, Michael
Colman, Thomas Ryan, James Casey, and James
Flaherty.
Mr. Graydon then applied to have the • eight
soldiers admitted to bail. In consepuence of the
extraordinary and incredible verdict which had been
given in, against even the opinion intimated in the

coroner's charge, it would be necessary to make
such an application immediately to the Queen s
Bench ; but he apprehended that it was in the dis-
cretion of the coroner to allow bail to be given for
them; and he submitted that it was a case in which
the coroner should exercise, in favour of those men,
'the jurisdiction which he (Mr. Graydon) would show
by legal authority that he possessed. Another ground
on which he pressed his application was, that the jury
had not been regularly impanelled, no precept having
bc en issued to the sub-inspector of police to summon
a jury, except in the case of Frawley.
The CORONER said it should be remembered that
the five dissentient jurors had stated that they would
have brought in a verdict of manslaughter, in which
case, ii it were civilians he was dealing with, he
should have no hesitation in issuing a warrant. He
could make no distinction between a red coat and a
dark one, but was there to do his duty fairly but
firmly to all parties.
Mr. Graydon pressed the application, but the
Coroner decided upon refusing it.
The jury having returned similar verdicts in the
other cases, the requisition was engrossed in due form.
The Coroner then issued his warrant for the arrest of
the persons implicated in the verdict, and it was en-
trusted for execution to Sub-Inspector Donovan and
a party of constabulary, by whom the eight soldiers
were conducted to Ennis gaol. Mr. Delmege was
not present in the court.
SALE OF THE MIDLETON ESTATES.

Pursuant to the order of the trustees under an Act
of Parliament, 14th of Victoria, sess. 1850, Mr. Fare-
brother, of the firm of Farebrother, Clark, and Lye,
6, Lancaster-place, Strand,. London, put up for sale at
one o'clock on ruesdayon the large room of the Im-
perial Hotel, Cork, part
George Alan, Viscount Mo.f the estates of the late
Midleton. The sale has been
the largest that has taken place in Cork since the in-
stitution of the Encumbered Estates Court, and the
deep interest which was taken in it might be easily
seen from the numbers of professional gentlemen, in-
twadiug purchasers, and others, in attendance. The
property is situate, the
. greater portion in the county
of Cork, and the residue in the county of Waterford;
and it was sold, as stated above, by order of the trus-
tees in whom the property has been vested since the
death of Lord Midleton. The conditions of sale,
which were exceedingly voluminous, numbered twelve,
and their stringency and complexity were the subject
of comment among all present. Mr. Farebrother, who
presided as auctioneer, stated, however, that the con-
ditions had been drawn up by counsel, and that
it was to be presumed that nothing was introduced
into them but what was necessary and just to both
parties—to the vendor and the purchaser. The pre-
sent sale did not, of course, comprise the settled
estates of the Midleton family, but ground or head
rents to the amount of 1,8551. a-year, payable out of
the town of Midleton, and several detached residences,
and numerous lots of accommodation and building
land, and several farms, containing in the whole about
945 acres, situate in that.neighbourhood ; and other
estates situate in the counties of Cork and Waterford.
The Midleton property comprising the head rents,
were first put up for sale, and after a sharp competi--
tion Lord Midleton was declared the purchaser for
35,0001. The county of Waterford estates, compri-
sing nearly 1,464 acres of arable, meadow, and pas-
ture land, and let at rents equal to 8321. 13s. ld., were
next put up. They are subject to 311. Bs. 2d. head
.
rent, of which 191. ss. payable to the Duke of
Devonshire, and the remainder to the vicar of Kilro-
nen. Lord Stradbroke was declared the purchaser,
after a brief contest, at 13,0001. The next property
put up comprised the fee simple estate (demesne) of
Waterfall, which produced 8,5501."
The Cork Examiner observes :
" This terminated the sale, which it was supposed
would have lasted, and certainly would have done so,
had the Midleton property been put up in lots, as it
would have been, had it notif
be.en
di .bd ought by one
mpur-
chaser, for three days, and, it not realize ore,
the fault is certainly not attributable to Mr. Farebro-
ther, who was as persuasive and seductive as man could
be. The prices realized, however, were on the whole
considered good, though we heard some gentlemen say
that the Midleton property was worth 45,0001. As to
the mode in which the sale was conducted nothing could
be fairer,. as, at the outset, Mr. Farebrother announced
that it would be what is known as 'an open sale,' and
that neither the trustee, who was present, nor any one
on that behalf, would bid, and that therefore every bid-
ding would be bone fide. The total sum realized
amounted to 57,3501."

MURDER of a CHILD, and ATTEMPTED
MURDER of TWO WOMEN.
SHEFFIELD, TllHRSDAY.—Sheffield is again the
scene of one of those horrifying murders which startle
a whole country. An illigitimate child, nearly two
years old, has had its head cut off by its father, who
also attempted to murder its mother and another
young woman. The murderer's name is Alfred
Waddington, a grinder, residing in Lord-street, Park,
Sheffield. He is about twenty years of age, the as-
sociate of notoriously bad charactefs, and he has him-
self been tried for highway robbery. The murdered
child was called Elizabeth Slater, the daughter of
Sarah Slater, of Brown-street, Park, and was about a
year and nine months old. On Monday the mother
took out a summons (which was to have been heard
to-day) against Waddington for neglecting to main-
tain the child. He saw her in the street on Wed-
nesday, and he swore he would never pay another
farthing towards the child. On Wednesday evening
it was left in the care of a little girl named
Barlow, while the mother went to attend the
females' evening class at the Mechanics' Institu-
tion. About half-past eight Waddington appeared at
the door of the class-room, and called out, " Sarah
Slater, you're wanted." She went to him, and he
asked, " What have you done with the child ?" She
told him, and he then said, " You must go with me;
it has fallen off a wall, and has broken its neck." She
immediately ran out of the room with him. On ar-
riving in Sylvester-lane he said she need not trouble
herself, for he had murdered the child. He pulled
out a large clasp-knife, and he said, "Here's some of
its blood." He then fiercely attacked her, and at-
tempted to cut her throat. She guarded her neck
with her hands, which were shockingly lacerated;
and a little boy, who saw the struggle, called out,
" Murder." Waddington then ran up Earle-street,
and the poor woman was taken home. He was shortly
afterwards met by a young woman named Sarah
Dobson, who resides in Duke-lane, Sheffield-moor, a
companion of the young woman Slater. Having heard
rumours of the murder, and the attack upon Slater,
the young woman asked him what he had done with
her and his child. He at once,without answering the in-
terrogatory, fiercely attacked her with his knife, and
wounded her severely about the face. Her violent screams
caused him to run away. About two o'clock this
morning, however, he gave himself up to a night
watchman, and at the Town-hall he described the
exact place where the murdered child might be
found. He said he took it from the little girl, Bar-
low, carried it into Cutler's Wood, Heeley, near Shef-
field, and there cut its head off. At daylight this
morning two policemen went to the place mentioned
and there found the body of the child. Its head was
lying several feet from its body,
The prisoner was brought up at the Town-hall to-
day at noon.
Mr. Raynor, chief constable, having stated the
charge, said the case would be fully investigated by
the coroner.
The Mayor (to the prisoner)—ls it your wish to
go before the coroners inquest, or would you rather
not go?
The prisoner said he would go before the coroner.
Tne prisoner, who was in his shirt-sleeves, on being
placed in the dock, looked round on the spectators
with great unconcern. When Mr. Raynor mentioned
the charge, his firmnessfirmness for a moment forsook him,
and he covered his face with his hands.

BRITISH ARCH7EOLOGICAL
ASSOCIATION.
NEWARK, WEDNESDAY.—As early as 8 o'clock
yesterday morning a large party of the members of
the Archaeological Association and their friends as-
sembled at the railway station, and proceeded by
special train to Thurgarton, a village about seven
miles from this town, to breakfast at Thurgarton
Priory, the seat of Mr. Richard Mil ward. Upwards
of 90 ladies and gentlemen availed themselves of the
invitation, and the visitors on their errivul at the
mansion, which is erected on the site of the ancient
priory of Thurgarton, wore received with the greatest
courtesy by the host and his wife, and their appetites
having been somewhat sharpened by early rising, and
by a country walk from the railway station to the
hall, they evinced in the most practical manner their
aopreciation of the ample repast which was provided.
The mansion, although called the " Priory," is en-
tirely a modern building, in the moot plain and un-
pretending style of house architecture, but is erected
on the site of the ancient priory of Thurgarton,
founded in the reign of Edward I.—a conventual
establishment which was formerly of considerable
size and importance. Few remains now
exist of the old priory, but a fine crypt,
which extends below a great portion of the
mansion, and which is partially used as a wine-cellar,
was exhibited to the visitors. It is in excellent pre-
servation, and contains some springing arches of
great span. Several antiquarian relics, which had
been discovered in the neighbourhood, including a
large piece of lead, cast at Chesterfield by the Ro-
mans, and several curious specimens of tesselated
pavement, were exhibited by Mr. Milward to his
visitors. The church is of great antiquity, and was
very closely examined by the more enthusiastic
archaeologists. It contains some curious old stalls,
with fine specimens of oak carving, supposed to have
been executed about the time of Edward 111. A
double window at the east end of the church, and a
door way in the tower, excited especial admiration.
On the motion of Sir O. Mosley, a vote of thanks was
given to Mr. and Mrs. Milward for their hospitable
entertainment, and the visitors then walked back to
h.
.
the station and resumed their placesthe
itr the -special
train, which, in accordance with previous arrange-
ments, proceeded to Nottingham -
The train arrived at Nottingham about 11 o'clock,
when the members of the association at once repaired
rived by
to the Exchange-rooms, where they were
Mr. W. Felkin, the mayor. The ancient received h
rtoert the
s and
muniments of the borough, dating froma charters
year 1,300, along with a number of Roman andotlte
antiquities, which have at various periods been r
disco-
vered in the town and neighbourhood, were submitted
to the inspection of the visitors.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE, who met the associa-
tion at Nottingham, took the chair, and observed that
they were allowed the use of the Exchange-rooms by
the kindness of the Mayor and corporation of Not-
tingham, to whom they were greatly obliged. Those
whom he was addressing were no doubt aware—
though they would scarcely arrive at the conclusion
from the present aspect of the town—that Notting-
ham was a place of very great antiquity. The Mayor,
he believed, could date the genealogy—and not of his
family, but of his office—to a period of about d6O
years back. During that time the town had had the
advantage of corporate governments, and the honour
of returning two burgesses to Parliament. For 400
years Nottingham had been a county of itself, having
been made a county of a town by Henry VI. But,
although those whom he was addressing were arch-
ecologists, and lovers of antiquity, he was sure they
would be ready to congratulate the Mayor and the
inhabitants of Nottingham on the extensive improve-
ments which were now in progress in the borough.—
(Hear, hear.) He was sure they would all rejoice at
the present thriving condition of the town.—(Hear,
hear.) If they had leisure to perambulate the town
with the Mayor and corporation, and to mark those
great improvements which gave it new social features,
he thought they would almost fear that archaeology
itself would become modernised.—(Laughter.) Al-
though the time they could spend in Nottingham was
short, he was sure they would derive great satisfac-
tion from the few antiquarian objects of interest which
yet remained, and which showed what the town had
been in former times.
The MAYOR, in responding to the Noble Duke's
remarks, expressed his regret that, from the shortness
of the notice which had been given them, the corpo-
ration should have received the society in so very
plain and informal a manner. Many of his friends in
that town felt deeply interested in those inquiries
which elucidated the history, the manner., and the
arts of past ages. He thought it was both interesting
and instructive to contrast the past and the present
with regard to the physical and social condition of the
inhabitants of this country, for such contrasts showed
the great progress and improvement which had been
made of late years.—(Hear, hear.) He was glad
to say that he had been called upon to take part
in arrangements for gathering together the an-
tiquaries of that town and neighbourhood ; and he
hoped that at the next meeting of the Archaeological
Association a deputation might be present from Not-
tingham.
Mr. PLANCUE then read an interesting and amus-
ing paper, displaying great antiquarian research, on
" the family of the Peverels of Nottingham.
The party afterwards proceeded to an adjoining
room, where wine and other refreshments were pro},
vided, and where the Mayor drank to the Duke o
Newcastle and the members of the association in a
handsome " loving curt," which was presented to the
corporation of Nottingham by an ancestor of his Grace
in 1681,
The visitors then left the Exchange, and inspected
a very singular cellar or cave, now used as a wine
vault by Mr. Crossland w
,
or passage, which is cut in sandstone, merchant. The cave
is at a depth of
63 feet from the surface of the earth, and extends for
a distance of 173 yards. There are, we understanhd,
several similar excavatioas in, or rather under t
e
town, though this is the largest of them, but antiqua-
ries have not ascertained with any certainty for what
purpose they were made.
The party next proceeded to St. Mary's Church, a
large and venerable cruciform edifice, but time did
not permit them to make more than a very cursory
examination of the building. A small stone sculpture
supposed to represent a pope, assisted by two cardi-
nals, consecrating a bishop, and which was discovered
below the flooring of the church during the progress
of some repairs which were made a few years ago,
excited considerable attention.
The party then visited the site of the old castle, to
which they were accompanied by the Duke of New-
castle, who pointed out the various objects of interest,
including King Richard's Tower and " Mortimer's
Hole"—a subterraneous passage along which, tradi-
tion asserts, that Sir W. Eland, in 1330, conducted
King Edward when he seised Lord Mortimer. There
are few remains of the old castle, which stood upon a
bold and precipitous rock, rising nearly perpendicu-
larly on the south and west to a height of more than
180 feet, and whence an extensive and beautiful
prospect of the country is obtained. The
of fine man-
sion, which was formerly the residence the Dukes
of Newcastle, and which was erected on the site of
the castle about the reign of William 111., was, it
will be recollected, sacked and burnt during the Re-
form riots, and still remains as it was left after the COD.

The numerous and minute descrip-
of the comic'
tions of the Abbey, which, besides those given by
Byron himself, and its association with the great poet,
have been elicited from able and eloquent writers,
render any account of the building here wholly unne-
cessary.
Shortly after five o'clock the vi-itors assembled in
the drawing-room, when the paper was read by
Mr. T. J. PETTIGREW, RR.S., on Newstead
Abbey. The Abbey, he said, was one of thirteen
priories which existed in the county of Notts at the
time of the dissolution of monasteries, and
priory of Black Canons Regular, dedicated
God,
and the Virgin Mary. Its foundation, by Henry II
dated about 1170, and the priory was surrendered
July 1, 1539. Henry VIII., by letters patent, dated
May 28, 1541, granted Newstead Abbey, with a
large estate in the neighbourhood, to Sir John
and his heirs.
