)21Y these certificates it is seen that from 4S ounces of the quartz
;7,1c, when melted, crushed, and washed, one ounce and nine penny-
t:ghts of gold, value 51. ls. 3d. sterling, was obtained, and this
Eder the immediate sanction of Mr. Haggerd, and personal inspec-
t°n of Mr. Pixley and Mr. Wood. at the smelting works in Wood-
:eet, employed by the Bank of England. At this rate of yield one
.r
11 of the quartz rock would produce gold value 3,4001. and up-
lbarda ; but assuming that instead of this result (viz., 11. Is. 3%d. per
an average of only one shilling per pound troy was produced, as
thirty tons per day can be readily separated, crushed, and washed
h‘
these mines, and the yield of gold would be, at that rate, 1361. per
Vs, which multiplied by thirty gives 4,0801., as the result of each
ZSY's working, being 24,48t1. per week of six days, above 100,0001.
l'lcalendar month would be the gross produce.
tstimating, therefore, the average yield-of gold from these hills,
nCieks. and placers. as only sixpence to the pound weight of quartz,
n income of 600,0001. per annum will be afforded —enough, after
owing amply for all expenses, to repay the capital five times in
~,,
Year's actual working.
I.& late authentic paper (republished in the " Times " of September
I,:thi from HusseY and Co.'s Circular, of San Francisco, July 30th,
052) shows the gross product of Californian gold, from the official
lotions, to be in the first six months, 1852, to the Ist July, 33,849,774
rhars, or about seven millions sterling, and this when the develop-
"tient of the rock gold is but commencing.
It is not the desire of the Directors upon such data to excite ex-
'yea hopes of delusive profits, but they feel the highest confidence
'Oat this undertaking, vigorously and honestly conducted, must
'41104 produce enormous returns to the shareholders in the Albion
old Mines. The Directors have entered into a contract with the
tsPrietor of the Burns' Rancho estate, which entitles the Company
enter immediately upon possession of one thousand acres, free of
t°,374 tY or reservation, on which tour openings have already been
ti
„ttde in the gold-bearing veins, and splendid specimens extracted.
The terms of this purchase are most liberal on the part of the pro--
Inlet:it., who, excepting a very small preportion, takes the whole
tonsideration, of a third interest (chiefly in shares), to be delivered
at Periods subsequent to possession and working by the Company.
'0
Director or subscriber to this Company will be liable beyond the
430unt of his shares subscribed for.
The title to this property is undisputed, and possession held con-
linnally by the resident agents of the proprietor occupying the estate
Motu February, 1851, to the present time.—(See Report.)
SPeeimens of the quartz rock may be seen at the offices of the
"'stnpany, as taken- from the vein by the proprietor, which is inex-
haustible; and it is arernarkable characteristic of the vast wealth of
this estate that the gold-bearing veins, though but three feet wide
'tear the surface, run through the whole property, and in depth are
richer in descending and without any known termination.

By SAMUEL LA'MEET, M.D.
37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the 17rtiversity of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &cc.
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
egally 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.
