BANKERS IN PARIS,

Messrs. Livingston, Wells, and Co., 8, Place de la Bourse.
SECRETARY-Mr. W. A. Hoeber.
Offices-30, Bucklersbury.

The object of this Company is the working of a large tract of coal
land in Virginia (10,000 acres), near the Kanawha River, a navi-
gable tributary of the Ohio, and convenient to all the great
Western markets.
A charter has been obtained from the Virginia State Legislature
for working this Company, and the lands purchased in "fee simple,"
so that no liability will be attached to the shareholders beyond the
amount of subscribed shares.
The quantity of workable coal above water level on this property
is estimated by Professor A nsted (who has lately returned from a
special mission to the district), at 55,500 tons per acre. The de-
mand far exceeds the supply, and the markets are easily ap-
proached by good river navigation.
The cost of working these mines, and carrying the coal to market,
has been carefully calculated by Professor Ansted, showing that on
the Kanawha it can be put on board the boats at 3s. per ton, be
stored in depots on the Ohio at about 68. per ton, and delivered at Ne vv
Orleans at less than 9s. 6d. per ton, and at the lowest market price
will realise 25 per cent on the Company's capital.
Prospectuses, together with detailed reports of the property, can be
obtained at the brokers, and at the offices, No. 30, Bucklersbury.
.A.pplieations for shares, in the usual form, to be addressed to the
Secretary, or to the Brokers of thl Company.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERIVIATORRHCEA,
with the View to the Correction of Wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of tb e
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Fickford 4 known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to Getman tnetlical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has le*e.ssed himself to the noa-thedi-
dal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shal
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in all
rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851:
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its ahn more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by pi e) ing
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' _Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who seffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hmdreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much n,oney --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the ti eat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. it is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Prinei •
plea at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
the history of a great many cases successfully
treated,ts bac]
as any which Mr. Byrne adduced, and on which operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii.. and xviii. No. ix. had res stud, !Or a
parted of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was fl aid ly
re noved in as many weeks. But cases xvill. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a mere ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and 3-et the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently succes.sful."
