ATURE is a mysterious treasury. It pos-
sesses innumerable blessings:for human kind, and
Produces an antidote for every disorder incident to the
human frame.--This treasury, with all its invaluable riches,
ie the proper study of Medical Science ; and it requires the
most laborious research to discover and develope all its
various mysteries.
For twenty years has our successful experience been
directed to the treatment of a certain class of disorders, and
we pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from its in-
cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by
every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate and"
nattch-neglected diseases of the Urethra have been carefully
and studiously considered, as have also those delicate and
importaut sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The
infirmities of virility have been especially noticed; whether
as arisiug from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos-
phere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of
gaity—er the more alarming results of a propensity to
practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which
is marked by a gradual dereliction of the animal powers.
To all who are thus circumstanced, and more especially to
such as are aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly
recommend our Commentaries, Ist, the ".rEgis of Life,"
a commentary on Sexual Debility; 2d, " The Syphilist,"
a popular treatise on Lues Venerea, &c.; and 3d, " Hy-
plane," exclusively addressed to Females; the perusal of
which must prove beneficial to their moral happiness.
These books may be bad of Messrs. Sherwood, Paternoster-
row; Chapple, 29, Pall-mall • and Onwhyn, Catherine-

THE NEW OFFICIAL KALENDAR.—The
great practical convenience of the alphabetical arrange-
ment adopted by Mr. BURKE, in his " Dictionary of the
Peerage and Baronetage," has been so fully acknowledged
as to induce his following the same plan in the execution
of another work of considerable labour and most extensive
importance, which he has fast completed. It is entitled
" The Official Kalendar," and its contents, which must
form a most valuable code of reference for every gentle-
man and man of business, comprise, we understand, the
following, among a variety of other useful matter :—Lists
of all the Offices and Officers of State in the British Em-
pire, including the Colonies—The Members of both
Houses of Parliament, with their residences, and the
places represented by those of the Commons—Public In-
stitutions of all kinds, political, religious, judicial, cha-
ritable, literary, scientific, &c. with the enumeration of
the individuals officially attached to them—The general
materiel of the whole Army and Navy, specifying Regi-
ments and Ships, coin taanding
rates of pay and ;
Pem"n'-' A Personal Index, exhibiting
Officers, &c., with the
the names (,f all who hold places in Public Offices—A
minutelpdetailed Catalogue of public persons abroad, with
their geveral (=finis, &c, ate.

Mrs. Brady, a widow, of respectable appearance, and
a native of Lancashire;complained upon a former day to
the Lord Mayor, that she had been induced to take a long
journey by misrepresentation, and his Lordship, upon
hearing the particulars,-sent an officer to request the at-
tendance of a Mr. John Wright, who keeps an agency
office in the Old Jewry, at the Mansion-house, to receive
from him an explanation of the affair, in which his Lord-
ship seemed to take much interest.
Mrs. Brady being confronted with Mr. Wright, who
told the Lord Mayor that he was a general agent, the
charge was regularly entered upon. The lady had seen,
while at Warrington, Where she had long resided, an ad-
vertisement in a London paper, stating that a person who
wanted a situation as governess or teacher, might have
her wish gratified by application at Mr. Wright's office,
in Jewry-street. She considered this a favourable oppor-
tunity, and wrote off to Jewry-street, mentioning her
desire to obtain a place of the kind, and giving an account
of her Qualifications. After some delay she received a
communication from Mr. Wright, which commenced with
the kind and flattering words, " I write most confiden-
tially to you." The letter stated that the writer had
procured a situation for her, which, although not exactly
that of governess or teacher, had a great chance, or rather
a great probability attached to it, which was likely to
render it extremely desirable; that a gentleman who had
lately lost his wife, was • desirous of not letting an aca-
demical establishment, which he had taken for her, drop;
that he wished to take a lady to act as housekeeper to
him, for- which be would pay her a salary, and that she
should, -if she required it, have a servant under her.
Towards the'conclusion of the epistle, her correspondent
delicately hinted that she must write au answer at once,
and describe her person in her letter; that, in fact,
she might look forward to having the pleasure of sup-
plying the place of the wife of the gentleman, who, although
rather deformed, was quite a gentleman notwithstanding.
—.This 'promise was _ not to be resisted ; Mrs. Brady
packed up all her property, gave up a comfortable situa-
tion which she.held at Warrington, and came off to town
en the wings of hope and love. She soon sought an in-
terview with Mr. Wright, and was, on her second visit,
favoured with theaddress of the young widower, and requested
to call upon him. She was rather surprised to find that the
gentleman lived in Q very ordinary sort of building, but she
determined to reconcile herself to Lad taste in that respect
if there appeared to be any thing like a redeeming quality in
the main point. But how great was her alarm and surprise
when she was assured by the person about whom she had
already begun to think so deeply, that he knew nothing
whatever of Mr. Wright, and never had employed any
such individual.

The LORD MAYOR, upon hearing this remarkable story
said, and so, .my poor woman, you came up to London
upon the strength of this correspondence to settle your-
self for life ? Mrs. Brady—l came up, my Lord, to take
the situation on the terms proposed to me. I had no idea
of being imposed upon.
The LORD MAYoR—And you left a livelihood for this?
Mrs. Brady—l thought it would be all for the best. I
have a son in Warrington ; and although I had 'an esta-
blishment there, I thought it would put it in my power
to be of more service to my child to accept of the offered
terms. I therefore threw up the establishment. It cost
me shout 51. to come up to London with what little goods

I was possessed of, and all my money is gone. I know
not a creature here, and was advised by some good people
to tell my misfortunes to your Lordship.
Mr. Hobler—And so you threw up a certainty for your
chance in London ? Well, the poor women, lam more
and more convinced every day, will 'do any anything for
husbands. Although. told that her promised husband
was deformed, she flew up to town to get hold of him.
I believe many of them would marry Vulcan himsel.—
(Laughter. )
Mr. Wright said he could set the matter at rest entirely.
The LORD MAYOR—No doubt, Sir, you will, and I
shall be glad to hear you. Pray go on. Mr. Wright—
The fact is, my Lord, I have had instructions fro►n the
party to whom Mrs. Brady alludes to the effect stated in

my letter. I have the last letter he wrote to me on this
subject. I have merely acted in this matter as other

agents do.
The Loan Maxon.—Not the least doubt of it, Sir. If
it be not too bold, may I ask what your exact line of busi-
ness is?—Mr. Wright.—.! am a general agent, my Lord.
The LORD Maxon.—Do be good enough to tell me
what a general agent is.—Mr. Wright—l supply parties
with situations of all descriptions, with BUMS of money,
and with other
The Loan MAYOR-Oh, don't go any further, my good
Sir; if you supply sums of money you supply every thing
else—you can't supply a more agreeable commodity. Now I
dare say you will have no objection to introduce me to this
gentleman whom you were about to supply with a helpmate.
Mr. Wright—He is quite a stranger to me, my Lord; I
know nothing about him except as an agent; I can prove
my respectability; I have been in a large way, but I have
lost large sums of money by a Nobleman who defrauded me.
The LORD MAYOR--I am determined to inquire mi-
nutely into this transaction, and must have this employer
of yours before me. Mr. Wright—My Lord, I may be
of use as a witness in the matter. I shall be very happy
to render service in that way, and I think I can do so;
but I came voluntarily, and hope I shall not be considered
as a prisoner.
The Loan MAYOR said he should require Mr. Wright's
attendance in the future stage of the case. Mr. Wright
—I can give the most respectable references, and Mrs.
Brady is satisfied: with my conduct; I have not exceeded
my instruction.
Mrs. Brady—lndeed I am not satisfied with your con-
duct. Why should I? You brought me up to town,
where I am now without money or friends, and what on
earth to do to get back I know not.
The Loan MAYOR-What sort' of a house had this gen-
tleman to whom be introduced you ? Mrs. Brady—A
miserable hole, my Lord, a sort of grocer's shop. I was
shucked ; but as Providence had, I supposed, decreed it,
I was willing to pit up with the misery that appeared
there, if I could make it answer in other respects.
The Loan M.avoa then ordered that all the parties
should appear before him on another day.

PATRICIAN PORTRAITS.—We understand
that the COURT JOURNAL of this day contains a third
number of those "Patrician Portraits,',' the two first
of which have excited so much and such deserved atten-
tion, for the graphic force and truth with which they de-
lineate the leading traits, both mental and personal, of
the noble persons depicted.—We believe No. 3 is intended
to represent Lord HOLLAND. The same number of the
COURT JOURNAL will, it is said, contain an admirable paper,
from a high quarter, being the second under the title of
" Fashionable Tactics."

We understand, that the King's Commission,
appointing Lord FORBES to be his MAJESTY'S 11,presen.
tative to the ensuing General Assembly of the Church• of
Scotland, arrived in Edinburgh by Sunday night's post.—
Caledonian Mercury.

His Grace the Lord High Commissioner's
Tables are to be done this year in a very superior manner,
representing our most gracious •bovitaxicres never-to-be-
forgotten visit to Scotland. The royal yacht, with the
squadron steamboats, are supposed to be passing at night
between the Bell• Rock, which is lighted up, and the Isle
of Mg, the Bass Rock in view. The Light-house at the
end of the pier, and harbour—his entrance, and reception
by the Magistrates of Leith, his subsequent 'movements in
his carriage, by Bernard-street, Constitution-street, and
Leith.walk, till his arrival in Picardy-place, where be is
received by the LORD PaovosT and• Magistrates of Edin.-
hngh, delivering up the keys of the city to his MAJESTY.
The whole will contain nearly 1,000 figures, including
cavalry, infantry, yeomanry, royal archers, and clans, all
the principal houses and names in Leith-walk are observed;
and we hope, as nothing is demanded, but left to the plea-
sure of the visitors, the Hopetoun Roma will have many.
Every accommodation will be kindly given, and the pro-
duce will be divided to the most needy of our city cha-
rities.--4,-Caledonian Mercury.
