Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
hur!h, Honorary liember of the London Hospital Medical Society,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the ealth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled. The Author has for a series of years been engaged In an
extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints,
and has long directed attention to these enormous evils, from which
no grade of society is free. Their treatment has unfortunately teen
too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant em-
pirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names
and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, inflict
great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their preten-
sions. The serious con,equences resulting from such mal-practice
may easily be avoided, if sufferers from these maladies were to aster
tang if their medical adviser he a member of the London College of
Physicians, urgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any ono possessing
either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus
the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION,

Yesterday a special Court of Commissioners was
hsiedlidngat.
The CHAIRMAN, on the opening of the court, said that the chief office, Greek-street ; Mr. Jebb pre-
in consequence of a resolution come to by the court a
few days since to adjourn sine die, it was deemed expe-
dient that the court should not enter into any new
matters or business of importance. At the same time
they had before them current business of an urgent cha-
racter. There were payments to be made and other'
things to be done which could not be deferred. He
might also mention that some time ago several reports
had been forwarded to the commission from the Home-
office relating to the drainage of Tottenham, Barnard
Castle, Saudgate, and St. Thomas's, Exeter. The com-
missioners had directed Mr. Baselgette to proceed to
those places and report his own observations upon the
plans suggested. It was the intention of the commis-
sioners that these reports should shortly be presented to
Lord Palmerston, and even now, as he considered them
to come within the category of urgent business, he
should, with the permission of the court, forward them
on the following day, accompanied by a few remarks of
his own.

The court then ordered the execution of the following
works :-800 feet of sewer, 3 feet 6 inches by 2 feet. 6
inches, in Rose-street and New-street,' Covent-garden, a
an estimate cost of 1,150/. ; 110 feet of sewer, 3 feet by
2 feet, in Conduit-court, Covent-garden ; and 90 feet of
12 inch pipe sewer in Lazenby-court—estimate 1771. ; 100
of 12 inch and 240 feet of 9 inch pipe sewer in Goat-
street, Southwark, on contribution of 30/.--estimate,
551. ; repair of river wall at Greenwich, 1201. ; minor
works, 151. Total, 1,5171.
After the transaction of some routine business the
court adjourned,

Lord Palmerston announced last night in the
House of Commons that the clemency of the Crown
was to be extended not only to Smith O'Brien,
but to other misguided men—the small fry of Irish
tumult and insurrection—who have for some years
past resided at the antipodes. The Irish " tra-
versers," as it was the fashion to call them when
they were the heroes of the hour, have had as com-
panions of their exile the leaders of the Newport
rioters. It may surprise most of our readers to
learn that Frost, Williams, and Jones are still
alive. Such, however, is the case, and most
persons will be of opinion that any politi-
cal purpose which could be answered by their
continued punishment has long since ceased to
exist. It was necessary at the time that such
turbulent spirits should be removed from a scene
in which they had effected so much mischief. It
was also necessary to make an example of them,
as a warning to others who might be tempted to
offend in the like manner. Morally, as well as
legally and politically, no one can doubt that these
misguided men richly deserved their fate. They
had, indeed, rendered themselves obnoxious to a
heavier measure of punishment. They were saved
by the humanity and refinement of the age from
that more extreme penalty which, until quite a
recent date, would have been the lot of those who
have sought by force of arms and violent means to
upset an existing Government. We are not about
to write an essay upon the sacred "right of insur-
rection," as it was called during the stormiest
period of French history. Every nation has, no
doubt, the full right to prescribe the manner in
which it shall be ruled, and the form of govern-
whielLit_preferts. It, is, however, equally
clear that a few obscure individiPSN unsupported
by the will of the majority, and representing
nothing but an impotent fraction of discontent,
have not the right to raise a tumult, to sacri-
fice life, to imperil property, and to spread terror
around without the shadow of a hope of success
in their insane enterprise. It is no doubt true that
the rebel—even the petty rebel—is not so loathsome
a criminal as the private assassin, the forger, or
the pickpocket ; but his offence is of a far more
transcendent nature, and demands even sterner
repression. What incalculable misery might not
have been caused by the schemes of those men to
whom the clemency of the Crown has been just ex-
tended had they not been nipped in the bud !
Even as it was, unhappiness enough resulted from
their futile attempts to disturb the existing order
of things.
The Newport riots have long since faded away
from the remembrance of busy men. What remains
of them is an historical recollection, and a few par-
doned convicts. Discontent there may be even
now in the manufacturing districts, but certainly
the of the operatives is not directed against
the action of the Government. The disputes between
employers and employed are lamentable enough ;
but they have not been caused or aggravated
by legislation. It would be very difficult to
persuade the Labour Parliament or the Pres-
ton Turn-outs that they would in the slightest
degree mend their case by taking up a position
antagonistic to the constituted authorities of the
country. If this be so in England, doubly so is it
the case in Ireland. Surely, if one grain of reason
and discernment be left in the hot-headed men who
headed the last Irish insurrection, they must re-
cognisethe fact that Ireland is becoming prosperous
and contented just in so far as the Irish people
have pursued a course diametrically opposed to the
one which they advised. We will not say that the
miseries of Ireland began with her demagogues, but
certainly they did not cease until the last of them
had been expelled from his native land. The Irish
required to be taught that a country does not thrive
on furious rhetoric and excited passions, but by
the slower, if less heroic, forms of industry and
good order. We entreat the attention of all young
Irishmen to this important result of the political
disturbances of the last 60 years. He is the
worst enemy to Ireland—he is the real traitor to
his native land, who sets Irishman against Irish-
man, or endeavours to let loose the spirit of party
and faction, in place of cultivating the kindlier
feelings of universal toleration and forbearance.
We could well believe that Mr. Smith O'Brien
himself must now be painfully aware of the fal-
lacy of his views. He is entitled to the respect
of his countrymen and of his opponents, as far
las his personal character is concerned. No man
has given more terrible proofs of sincerity, and
we are fully disposed to admit that the manner
in which he has conducted himself during his
exile, and his respect for his plighted word, fully
entitle him to favourable consideration. Others
will respect the man who has respected himself.
As for the other paltry renegades who have lied
and run away, all that can be said of them is, that
they have saved their necks,—their honour they
have left behind them in Australia.—Times.
