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 Universit y of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.

111 AI 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,
tore decay at all stages of life, tfian 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 Slopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and UnfruitMl Marri-
ages,
Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and thei r
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 con -equences 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 s the only legally qualified Physician 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 this department of practice, he has been amply
roe arded 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. All letters must contain the fee of ii., and advice and

THE GREAT NUGGET VEIN COMPANY.

Some communications have been received from Syd-
ney regarding the Great Nugget Vein Company, whose
shares two days back experienced a sudden fall, from which
its actual position would appear to be as follows :—The
number of shares is 100,000, of which 33,000 were issued
in London, 33,000 to subscribers in the colony, 33,000 to
the original proprietors of the vein. The English shares are
of 21. each, fully paid up, and were allotted at a premium
of 11. ss.—the proceeds of such premium being for the
general benefit of the company ; the Australian shares
are also for 21., but with only 10s. paid, their title to a
participation in profits being proportionably limited ;
and lastly, the shares allotted for the purchase of
the mine are to rank the same as the English ones,
that is to say, for 2/. each paid in full. The ground
held by the company, and through which the vein
extends, runs parallel with the Louisa Creek for two
miles (comprising also the bed of the creek for that
distance), and is about half a mile in width, the
terms of possession being the payment of a royalty of
10 per cent. to the Government. It is about 23 miles
from Mudgee, and 170 from Sydney. When Mr.
Spence, the manager of the Colonial Gold Company,
arrived in Sydney with his mining captain, he proposed
a mutual arrangement with the Great Nugget Vein
Company for working the property, and after he had
been allowed six weeks for a full investigation of it, a
contract was entered into that the Colonial Company
should conduct the whole of the operations free of ex-
pense to the Great Nugget Company, and allow them
one-half the profits whenever the yield should be equal
to 4 ounces of gold per ton of quartz or earth, one-third
when the yield is 3 ounces, and one one-fourth when it
is 2 ounces or under. He was also to take a steam-
engine of six-horse power, which the Great Nugget
Company had erected, at a valuation, but was to have
the buildings and other works free of charge. Under
these circumstances the capital of the Great Nugget
Company is no longer required, and it will be a
question whether it should not, at an early period, be
returned to the shareholders. The amount remitted
from England had not arrived at the last dates, but the
sum raised by the Australian subscription was being
employed in the purchase of gold. As far as the ope-
rations at the mine, previously to the junction with
the Colonial Company, are concerned, the amount raised
is believed to have been about 3,0001., and when tEe
Great Britain left the more efficient machinery of the
Colonial Company had arrived. The cause of the fall
during the present week was an announcement that some
of the Austrailian shares had been sent for hale here. It
seems that is correct, about 8,000 or 12,000 of those
allotted to the original proprietors of the vein having
been transmitted. They are, however, said to be totally
distinct from the English issue, and the reason alleged
for the intention to offer them here is that the first out•
lay in connection with the mine incurred by the parties
to whom they belong was nearly 20.0001., and that with
the present demand for business capital at Sydney they
desire to reimburse themselves to that extent.

APFILIATIoN.—At the Kensington petty sessions, yes-
terday, Mr. John Stevens, a master baker, of Brentford
was summoned before the magistrates, to show cause
why he should not be charged with the support of an
illegetimate child, of which it was alleged he was the
father. The case was rendered remarkable in conse-
quence of the great disparity in the ages of the parties,
the supposed father being a man far advanced in years,
with a large family, and the mother a child, now not 15
of the Inner Temple, appeared

t
eefedtat she was now between 14 and 15 years
of age. About the beginning of last May, she was pass-
ing through Brentford, on her way home to her mother's
house, when she was accosted by Mr. Stevens, who was
standing at his shop door, and of whom she had a slight
previous knowledge. Hef spoke to her as she passed,
shortly afterwards followed her, telling her that he had
something very important to say to her. They walked
for some distance together, and when they got opposite
to a barn that belonged to him, he pulled her in, and
there took advantage of liar ; but such had never took
place before or since. In February last, she gave birth
to a female child. Mrs. Joyes, the mother of the girl,
said as soon as she found out her daughter's misfortune,
she waited upon Mr. Stevens, who was the father of 12
children, and he gave her a sovereign to provide
