PROSPECT7S.
This Company is formed for the purchase and workbag a rich gold
mine in Orange County, Virginia, in the United States, situate on
a freehold estate of 439 acres of good land, well watered, fenced,
timbered, and under cultivation. A substantial dwelling-house and
15 miners' houses, with shops, stores, and other buildings neces-
sary for mining purposes, are on the property fit for occupation.
The arrangements for the purchase of this valuable estate are
complete, and all the necessary and legal documents conferring title,
being in the possession of their solicitors, Messrs. Tucker and Sons,
Sun. chambers, 61, Threadneedle-street, City, the directors offer it to
the public as a secure and unquestionable basis for the profitable in-
vestment of capital.
The valuable services of Mr. Henwood, F.R.S., F.G.S. have been
secured, and he will proceed at once to the property. This gentle-
man's great practical experience cannot fail to be of the most essen-
tial service to the Company, and be hopes that, by using due dili-
gence, everything will be in full working order by the end of the
present year. Mr. lienwood will select a staff fully competent to
carry out the Int./eat, of the Company in conjunction with Captain
James Barnett, who has, upon that gentleman's recommendation,
been appointed chief mining captain.
Assays of the Ore have been made by Messrs. Johnson and Met-
they, Dr. Ryan, Mr. John Mitchell, and Mr. Frederick Claudet,
which are printed in the full prospectus, together with Mr. lien-
wood's Report.
The Directors, submit the following calculation, showing the
returns which they confidently anticipate will be realised ; and,
in doing so, they wish it to be distinctly borne in mind that the cal-
culation is based on the lowest assay, viz., loz. 6dwts. 12gra , and
they have taken the price of gold 31. 16s. per ounce, and the quan-
tity to be reduced at 50 tons per day; and in this way the produce
of 300 days at 50 tons will be 15,009 tons ; and after deducting it.
per ton for expenses, the amount realised will be upwards of 60,0001.
per annum ; and they have.the satisfaction of announcing that, from
subscriptions already received, they are enabled to proceed at once to
complete registration ; and, under such circumstances, the applicants
for the unappropriated shares will not be required to execute the
Company's deed of settlement ; and a special act of incorporation
' will be applied for from the Legislature of the State of Virginia, by
which the liability of each shareholder is limited to his subscribed
capital.
Application for Shares and Prospectuses to be made to the brokers,

universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar-

confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate
of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the

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 Apotltecaries' Hall, London, &c., &e.
iv' AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
Mi. 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, 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
once 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 Unfrultfld 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 flinctional
derangement to which the timely aid of scien sacannot 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 thi, department of practice, he has been amply
rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care ot unqualified and ignorant enmities, who with teir p
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, anil pretended irated
virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
