This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
,:onditions 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
1:-.U.r years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage trustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ing misery and regret. ,

To this no answer seems to have been given: the first
will likely be the reply of broadside, should so much
as a pistol-shot be• fired from the stockades. The
Mudusa and Zenobia, stated in our last 'as under
orders, have both since then left, and we shall bear a
few days hence of the _arrival of the squadron at
Madras, pr'obahly by next dispatch for England of the
commencement of operations •in Burmah..• • H. M.'s
steamer Hermes and brig-Serpent have been mean
while added to'the strength of the squadron, now cell-
sisting of 12 steamers and three sailing .vessels. The
18th Royal Irish had. -percussion muskets served

out to them on starting( and will first learn the use of
the weapon in front of the enemy ; 20,000 of whom
are said to be awaiting us at 'Rangoon: and along the
line of route to Ave..Oa the 24th of. January 'an
earthquake was experienced in Upper Slade, Cutchie,
and over G-oozerat ;in the second named it seems to
have - occasioned much mischief. On. the 24th of
February we had irregularities in the weather all
over India,' with heavy falls,ef rain in the Punjaub
and to the northward, On the 2d of March Calcutta
was visited by the first norwester of the season—a
furious storm of wind, thunder, hail, and rain. The.
electric fluid' passed in large quantities along the,
wires of the telegraph; detonating loud explosions at the
stations, but beyond for a little interrupting the com-
munication and endangering the attendants, it did no
harm. Intelligence has been received of the acciden-
tal smothering of 50 coolies out of a cargo of 234 jn
the bold of the Futtay Salam during a hurricane off
Madras on the 22d-25th December. The hatches had
been battened down( and -cries for relief were un-
heard during the fury of the storm. Sir John Grey
left us on the 4th : heembarked from Mazagan on
board the Snake steamer, to avoid the crowd at the
Apollo-piers and declined-from sickness the honours
due to his rank. On his departure General Auch-,
mutt' was sworn in as-Commander of the Forces, Mr.
John Warden taking his place" at the. Council BOard
as provisional member:- The. Right Hon. the. Go-
vernor purposes remaining-at the presidency till April.
The Hon. Mr. Blane has proceeded on board the
Zenobia round to Madras for the benefit of his health.
The Members of the . Goiernment and personal staff
who at this-season in jeneral accompany .the Go-
vernor and Commander-in-Chief .on their " tours of
inspection," remain at ~the presidency, which is at
present much more full than it is generally in the
middle of March. The Frenchlrigate Algerie, Com-
modore Faurichon,, is lIQW in the harbour, on her
way to Muicat and Zanzibar on a cruise. The Eury-
dice, after lying a fortnight 'at Aden-waiting for ad-
vices from home, had proceeded on to Suez. General

(From the Bengal Hurkaru of March 5.)
SUMMARY. —We have no recent intelligence of
warlike operations in Burmab. There is an ominous
calm foreboding the approaching storm. On one side,
we are summoning up all our strength for a heavy
and decisive blow; on the other, as we may suppose,
the enemy is preparing himself to receive or ward off
the stroke. The three Presidencies of India are
preparing or contributing each its quota to the
powerful armament, with which it has been resolved
to quell the pride of the golden-footed and leaden-
headed potentate. Bengal and Madras are collecting
their troops and their munitions of war, while Bombay
has already sent forth an imposing force of war
steamers, which are now, probably, at Madras, em-
barking her Majesty's 51st Regiment, two native
infantry corps, and three companies of artillery,
which they will-convey to the scene of the impending
struggle.
Here the preparations, ashore and afloat, are pro-
ceeding with unwonted vigour. The arsenal is astir
even on the Sabbath, it is said ; and the results of all
this toil and bustle are beginning to develope them-
selves in a formidable ordnance train and a well
furnished commissariat, .Five vessels have been taken
up for the conveyance of troops and stores, the Fatel
Rozack, the Futteh Allum, the Lahore, and the
Favourite, with the fine new iron-framed ship Tubal
Cain, which is being fitted up as a hospital-ship for
the expedition. The authorities are displaying a most
laudable anxiety for the health and comfort of the
troops on board ship, and a committee has been ap-
pointed to see that the benevolent intentions of the
Government are carried into effect.
A wing of her Majesty's 80th has arrived from
Dinapore by steam, and the other half of the regiment
is now on its way hither. Two native regiments will
also form part of the expedition.
Major-General Godwin, who is to command the
land forces, is now at the Presidency, having arrived
here two days ago. It is yet uncertain when the
expedition will sail for the scene of action.
The plan of operations still remains undeveloped.
The prevalent surmise, however, appears to point to
the immediate capture and occupation of Rangoon
and Martaban, as a blow designed to exhibit our
strength, and struck in the expectation that it will
frighten the insolent Court of Ava into a desire for
peace on our own terms. It is generally supposed,
too, that after these towns have been destroyed or
taken, our force will remain inactive through the
now-approaching rainy season, partly because it will
not be convenient to move, and partly to give the
Burmese an opportunity of profiting by the lesson
this display of power will have taught them.
It has been suggested, and with general accept-
ance, that as the Bassein river is navigable beyond
the town which gives its name, the best course would
be to run up as far as possible or convenient with the
steamers, and to occupy Prome till the cessation of
the rains permitted the troops to advance on the ca-
pital if necessary. This bold and decisive step pre-
sents several advantages. While it would be quite as
easy, or perhaps easier, to take possession of Proie
as of Rangoon, the former might be held during the
rains with less risk to the health of the troops ; and,
as the Burmese have expected us and prepared for
us chiefly or only on the line of Rangoon, thus to
turn their defences and place our force in the
centre of their country, and far on the road to their
o
cold,
son:eawnh.
capital, would be to 'them a heavy blow and great
discouragement.
The most important news from the North-
Western frontier is of Sir Colin Campbell's return
to Peshawur. The force marched in on the 15th
ultimo after destroying► .A number of villages in the
distbuerb:rodubdieistricts. There is a general inquiry as
the results of this protracted demonstration and
ennois.rai:dis4fae:ehtroionr,,ysstreply can be elicited. Garrisons have
been left i❑ the forts of Dubb and Shubkudder, and
they already find the people around them beginning
