AN IMP 0 R TAN T DISCUSSION.—The
"Times," the "Lancet, and other leading. journals
have been lately canvassing the social considerations in-
volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice."
Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the
inquiry ; but it would greatly add totheir value If they in-
cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the
prevention of that HPFCIAL VICE, which wars more than any
other against the welfare of society—dcstrorng the happi-
ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under-
mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering
and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola-
tion through families.

The essential particulars relating" to this great social evil
(the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of
maturity), together with ample instructions for removing* its
afects, and recovering, health, vigour, and all the ennobling
privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S
"SELF-PRESERVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and
Ph isical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been
published by Mann and Co., 39, Cornbill, London, price Is.,
sent post free for 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps'

entirely to this branch of practice, may he consulted daily,
either personally or by correspondence, at his residence,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

YORK AUGUST MEETING, WEDNESDAY.

The second day, as usual at this meeting, was marked by
an increased attendance—the Ebor Handicap being the
attraction, although for the nonce denuded of the interest
generally given to it by the speculative spirit of a York-
shiroman. In the morning scarcely a bet was laid on that
event, and men in the habit of staying in the subscription-
room until they go to the racecourse attended the sales con-
ducted by the Messrs. Tattersall and Mr. Johnson. There
Sir Tatton Sykes's yearlings were disposed of at an average
of 121 guineas for 15 which were sold, and Sir C. Monk's
five brood mares at an average of 454 guineas. After the
first of the nine races on the card had been rim, the objec-
tion laid against Caller Ou was heard by the stewards, aud,
after some very conflicting evidence, decided against the
mare. Cerintha beat Pratique in a canter, and two splen-
did races followed. The Eber was run just as our parcel
left, when loud cheers followed the victory of the Earl of
Glasgow.
The Rawcliffe Stakes of 10 soya each, h ft, with 50 added ;
for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b ; and fillies, Bst 71b, with 31b
and 51b allowed ; winners extra. The owner of the se-

Betting-6 to 4on Cerintha, and sto 4 agst Pratique.
The non•favourate made play, with Pratique next the
rails, and the favourite on his whip hand, to the distance;
whon ho dropped back; and Cerintha, with Pratique in
close attendance, came on together to the enclosure, when
Cerintha drew away, and won in a canter by four lengths;
six lengths separating the second and third.
The Londesborough Cup, of 50 sovs in specie, added to a
handicap stakes of 5 soya each, for all ages. Three-
quarters of a mile. 11 subs.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Zora, 9to 2 each agst Redpole and
Cellarius, 8 to 1 each agst Grimston and Southport, and
100 to 8 agst Bernice.
Through the fractiousness of Staple Oak, who repeatedly
broke away, the start was delayed some time. When the
flag was lowered Bernice, in company with Cellarius, next
the rails, made play, closely followed by Southport, Red-
pole, and the favourite, the latter lying in the centre until
fairly round the bend, when Bernice was headed by Cella-
rius, who, with Southport on the Stand side, came on in
advance to half-way in the distance, when Redpole took
the command, waited upon by Zora, Bernice, Bob, and
Cellarius to the enclosure, when Fordham made his effort
to get up, but failed, and was beaten after a fine finish by
a head, two lengths separating the second and third, Ber-
nice was fourth, Cellarius fifth, Grimston sixth, and Staple
Oak next.
The Prince of Wales' Stakes of 10 soya each, with 50 added,

The latter, in company with Fontenoy and Princess
Louisa, lay in front throughout, but on reaching the enclo-
sure the three closed, and ran locked together to the end,
Escape just winning on the post by a head, a neck only
dividing the second and third. The Clarissa colt was a
good fourth.
The Great Ebor Handicap Stakes of 100 sovs, added to a
Sweepstakes of 20 soya each, 10 ft, and only 5 if de-
clared, &c. Winners extra. The second to receive 50
sovs out of the stakes. Two miles over the old

agst The Drake and Conundrum, and 100 to 8 agst the
Makeless filly.

Immediately after the flag was lowered Dulcibella rushed
to the front, The Drake, with Fitz Eva at his side, follow-
ing next. Then came Q. E. D., the Makeless filly, Alan
Rufus, the Monk, Conundrum, and Pembroke in a body,tho
last of all being the heavy weight, Cape Flyaway. In this
order they ran to the front, where Alan Rufus dropped
into the rear, and Cape Flyaway began to draw towards the
nick. On their fairly rounding the plantation turn Dulci-
bella was headed by The Drake, who came on with a clear
lead to the Middlethorpe corner, where Lord Stamford's
mare was disposed of, and was speedily seen in the rear, fol-
lowed in a few strides by Tho Drake, tho lead being left
with Q. E. D., who, with Fitz Eva, the Makeless filly, and
Conundrum, came on in front to the distance, where they
were joined by Cape Flyaway, the quartette running close
together to the enclosure, where the Makeless filly got
her head in front, and won an excellent race by a neck ; a
length and a half between the second and third ; Q. E. D.
was fourth, three lengths in their rear, Conundrum fifth,
King of Kars sixth, and Pembroke next.

The Ebor St. Leger of 25 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds, colts Bst

a rush, and won by a head.

7 to 1 agst King of Utopia, 10 to 1 agst Tease-me-not, 15
to 1 agst Michael Scott.

An excellent start was effected at the first attempt. King
of Utopia, next the rails, was the first off, and came on
with the running, followed by Michael Scott, Cheerful,
Marechal, and Orange Girl in a body to the distance,
where Michael Scott was disposed of, and Cheerful fol-
lowed the leader to the enclosure. He was there beaten,
and the Frenchman, in company with Orange Girl and
Stampedo, joined the front, but never had a chance to
reach Mr. Whittaker's colt, who won easily by two lengths.
Two lengths between the second and third. Stampede was
a bad fourth, Cheerful fifth, Newmarket sixth, Tease-me-
Not the next, the last being Belle, of Yorkshire. After
Orange Girl had passed the post, Aldcroft's stirrup broke,
and ho fell to the ground, without sustaining any injury;
but as he did not return to weigh Stampede was placed
third, and Orange Girl nowhere.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Manchester yesterday. Mr. H. W. Wickham, M.P., pre-
sided.

A dividend at the rate of 34 per cent, per annum on the
ordinary stock was agreed to.
_ _

The CHAIRMAN then moved that the meeting, deeply
sympathising with the sufferings into which the operatives
had been plunged, authorised the directors to set aside a
sum of £5,000 towards their relief.
The motion was carried on a show of hands without oppo-
sition.
