VEINING INVESTMENT.-Mr. JOHN S.
LANE, Mining Agent 32, Poultry, London. offers his
c;lrs to parties wishing to embark in Mining enterprise, to
lain in the selection of the soundest as well as the most pro.
ndsing undertakings. At the present lime, when depreciation has
Prot,
vai„a‘blY gone to the farthest extent, and when so !ruby safe and
shares are so much below their intrinsic value, an invest-
ment would doubtless be attended by immense profits as soon as a
f. action takes place, which may be near at hand. All instructions
Pro
InPtly attended to.

POSTAGE STAMPS, RECEIPT STAMPS.—
misonirehension appearing to exist with regard to the use of
~„7.lage stamps for denoting the duty of one penny, which wid be
W*o-' able fur receipts on the payment of money amounting to 4 a. and
Itn`‘*'rds. after tue 10th October next, it is thought right to correct
eironeoua impression in that particular. Notice I,t therefore
;;‘,7n that postage stamps (the produce of which is part of the
on 711, of the Post-office), cannot be uted for receipts, the duties
‘hiell are part of the revenue of Stamps. Stamps on paper,
41"; ar to tit-se now in use, and adhesive stamps, are provided, the
~Leuir differing In design and colour from the postage stamps, and
t`oa se alone can be used for receipts. If a postage stamp were affixed
rP,eipt, the document would be, in point of law, wholly un-
ted, and would expose the person giving it to a penalty. Under
4same erroneous view of the matter, it might be supposed that an
esive receipt stamp could be used for letters in payment of pus,.
", but
any such letter -would be charged, or would not be for-
At;'L'etl. It should therefore be distinctly understood that postage
the 'Ps will be wholly inapplicable to receipts, and receipt stamps to
postage of letters.

THE MOST CERTAIN PREVENTION OF CHOLERA. EVER

DISCOVERED.
THE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN-
FECTIN.t FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED CHLORIDE
of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses. Stable•, Dog Ken-
nels, Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, W ater-closets, &c. ; the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion.
Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond' all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal apnlicatlon as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Chexists and Shippinx Agents in the United King-
dom, In Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each ; in pints, Is.; half
pints, 6d. each ; and in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.
Orders executed by the Sole Agents, Messrs. Drew, Heyward, and
Barron, Bash•lane, Cannon•street.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., Sce.
NEAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated. how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally qualified l'hyslc,an who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting thi4 department of practice, he has been amply
regarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of. unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. Alt letters mast contain the fee of 11., and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT
should first obtain a c of his work on
SELF-PRESERVATION.
A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and
Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des-
cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and
excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct
description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s lid, in English,
French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs. Piper
Brothers and Co., 23, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street;
