DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matricilated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
MAY 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-
Sliced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stases 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 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
rewarded 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 mast contain the fee of IL, and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT
first obtain a copy of his work on
SELF -PRE SERVATION.
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 6d, in English,

MELBOURNE.—The tide of immigration continues to
pour into Melbourne at a rate almostalarming. Up_ to
the end of 1852 the population of the province ofVic-
toria had more than doubled what it was in 1851 ; what
it will be at the close of 1853 it would be difficult to
predict. The arrivals in the month of April have ex-
ceeded the maximum of any month in 1852 ; and on the
27th ult., more than 2,400 immigrants arrived in the
bay in the course of the 24 hours. To meet this daily
increasing mass of life there is in Melbourne little or no
preparation ; the place is fed, like a besieged city, by
supplies thrown in by distant speculation, and provi-
sions, are, indeed, nearly at siege and famine prices.
As to house-room, every nook is filled ; the places of
those who leave for the gold fields are instantly occu-
pied by new corners. Only the more provident and
better circumstanced arrive furnished with tents, which
they can pitch at "Canvas town," or portable houses
to put up on any patch of ground that can be obtained.

injunction to the parties to keep their distance. I can-
not say I have found any precautions of the kind neces-
sary ; but the experience of others may as well be cited.
The fact is, so completely are the relations of society re-
versed here, that the garb of a gentleman (or "swell" in
the colonial vernacular) is in itself a protection, being
the badge of poverty ; he is not worth robbing • he
either:has no money, or, being sober and discreet, leaves
what he may have at home ; but the drunken digger,
just down from the mines, with his gold-dust in his belt,
reeling from pothouse to pothouse is a rich and easy
prey. He is marked out, followed, and robbed in a
systematic manner. Many a better "pocket" of gold is
picked out of a kennel in the city than could be got by
weeks of delving at Ballarat. Except to this class I should
say the place is safe enough, and quieter than could be
expected. The true gold mines are the public-houses
at Melbourne and the several diggings ; the publicans
make large and rapid fortunes, and thousands of pounds
are freely given for the goodwill of a house of the lowest
class, the lower indeed the better, for in them greater
profits are made than in the respectable hotels. The
diggers frequently give their gold to the landlord, drink
it out, and go back to the fields as poor as they came.
If they deposit it in a bank, the simplest forms of busi-
ness are a puzzle to them ; in some cases, the proffered
passbook has been indignantly refused, under an impres-
sion that it is something equivalent to a convict's ticket-
of-leave. It is calculated that a large amount of gold
in the Melbourne banks will never be claimed, the de-
positors having drunk themselves to death, or died by
accident or disease at the mines, where casualties are by
no means rare. Those who save their earnings, to in-
vest in land or business hereafter, are the minority, the
prudent or educated ; but fortune is capricious, and the
luckiest are not always the most deserving.

[PRICE SD.

GEELONG, MAY 19.
The yield of gold still continues large, although not
commensurate with the increase to our population.
From the Ist of January up to the present date 791,308
ounces have been exported, and the Harbinger, which
brings this communication, will, it is expected, take
away a very large quantity. The escorts have brought
down during the present year 780,000 ounces of gold,
and at least an equal quantity has arrived in the towns
by private hand, or remains in the hands of the miners.
Some rich diggings have been discovered near Mount
Alexander, at the Mac Ivor, so called from its being an
the run of a gentleman of that name, and the country
around Mount Korong is being extensively and success-
fully worked. To the westward of Ballarat, at the
Wardy Yallock, gold has been found in small quanti-
ties ; indeed, more than 4,000 square miles of country,
a patch 100 miles long by nearly 40 in width, is prov-
ing more or less auriferous.
The weekly yield of gold may be estimated at about
70,000 ounces, which will give an ounce per man per
week to those employed in digging. The general opi-
nion is that it is nearly 100,000. A great many miners
prefer keeping their gold in their own hands to selling
it, in the hope that the price will increase, and that the
land will be procurable at a cheaper rate.
Gold is now selling in the towns at from 3/. 15s. to
31. 16s. 6d. according to the demand, and at the gold
fields at from 31. 13s. to 3/. 15s. It will be seen from
these data that the renumeration of the miners is by no
means excessive, as compared with that of other descrip-
tions of labour. Mechanics, such as carpenters, cabinet-
makers, blacksmiths, masons, and bricklayers, are earn-
ing from 20s. to 30s. per diem, according to the locality
and their skill ; the police receive 31. 10s. 43.er week
without rations, or 21. 16s. with ; labourers from 10s.
to 12s. per diem ; shepherds and stock-keepers 50/. to
751. per annum, with rations and quarters.
Business of all kinds is exceedingly good, although
the profits of importers are considerably crippled by the
present high rates of freight. The desertion of seamen
is now considerably checked by the establishment of an
efficient water police, and the presence here of her Ma-
jesty's corvette Electra.
Breadstuffs, horsefeed, beer, and spirits rule very
high ; flour being 301. per ton ; hay 351. ditto ; oats, 16s.
per bushel ; brandy (in (bond) 18s. per gallon ; beer
(bottle) 18s. to 30s. per dozen ; in wood, ale, 71. to 101.
per hhd. ; porter, 91. 10s. to 131.
Rents still continue at the same high rates, 21. a week
being demanded for a hovel in Melbourne. In Geelong,
however, they are nearly 50 per cent. less than in the
metropolis. Some of the town land (Melbourne) sold at
the last Government sale for 3,700/. per acre, and this
was at least a mile from the business portion of the
city. The Wentworth estate occupying about an acre
of land, in a good position, which was bought about nine
months ago for 20,0001., was subdivided and re-sold a
few days since for nearly 65,0001.
There is a vast amount of distress existing among the
now arrivals. Many of the scenes which presented
themselves to me on occasion of my last visit to Mel-
bourne were painful in the extreme. Whole shiploads
of passengers are landed on the wharf in the dusk of the
evening, unaware where to obtain shelter for the night,
and their pockets but very slenderly provided. In the
case of young and hearty men, their troubles are soon
over ; the lee side of a wall, or the inside of a boiler,
provides a shelter which some of the wealthy colonists
whom they see dashing about the streets in well ap-
pointed carriages, or mounted on blood-horses, would
have been glad of when they first arrived. The case of
delicate women, invalid men, and helpless children is a
very painful one, especially as the horrors of the first
night are but a prelude to much misery.
A great deal of the distress among newly-arrived im-
migrants is in process of being relieved by homes being
thrown open for their reception, in addition to those at
present existing, and a subscription is now being raised
for this purpose. It is proposed that 10,0001. should be
raised by voluntary contributions, and the Government
have promised a grant in aid of 40,0001.
The greater portion of all this misery is, however,
caused by the immigrants being of a class who should
never have left England. Workmen, mechanics, and
female servants cannot come in too large masses ; capi-
talists and men of business may make large fortunes ;
but of what use are large families of helpless children,
and of scarcely less helpless parents-men used all their
lives to English comforts, and to no harder work than
can be found in an English counting-house ; and women
who, out of an income of a hundred a-year, have al-
ways managed to keep a drudge of all work-in a coun-
try where the shelter of a roof can scarcely be obtained
for the average remuneration of a clerk or shopman
Unable to ootain remunerative employment, scarcely
able to exist on the wages given to persons of their class
if they work as labourers, they have but one alternative
-for the husband to go into the bush as a shepherd,
and his wife to accompany him as hutkeeper ; they
have, however, a sort of horror of the bush, and pre-
fer privation with sympathising croakers to plenty in a
slab lint with no one to speak to but the opossums and
bandicoots.
Persons who come by the Government immigrant
ships are provided with a home on their arrival in the
shape of a depot. In this they are maintained until
they obtain employment, and as they are generally of
a class greatly in demand, this period rarely exceeds one
week. Those who pay their own passage receive, how-

vilege. Secondly, are they persons in trade or business,
and provided with capital ? if so, let the husband be the
pioneer ; let him see first if there be a field for his exer-
tions, and not risk everything on one cast. If he likes
the colony, he can readily enough send for his family.
Thirdly, are they poor, but at the same time respectable;
unskilled in any trade, but learned in the belles lettresi
if so, let them stay at home. As regards young single
men, if they are only enterprising enough to come out,
and energetic enough to work hard when they are out,
they are sure to do well enough. Above all, let no in-
valids emigrate in the hope of our fine climate benefiting
their health. The climate might do them good, but the
hardships and privations they would have to endure
would more than counterbalance all its good effects.
A dispatch has been received from the Colonial-office,
giving to the colonial legislature the control of the land
fund, and conferring on us a constitution similar to that
of Canada. This is admitted on all hands to be a very
great boon, and it will be the fault of the colonists them-
selves if the rich lands of our almost boundless interior
be not thrown open. The greatest apathy, however,
prevails on all political topics, very few candidates
coming forward for the next election, which is to be held
in the beginning of June. For this town (Geelong) only
one candidate is as yet in the field, and in the adjacent
counties the constituencies are not able to find a single
person of sufficient public spirit to become their repre-
sentative. Avarice appears to be the tomb of ambition.
There has been a great decrease in the amount of
crime, partly owing to the deportation of all persons
proved to be convicts who have not served out their
sentence, and partially to the improved system of police.
Fifty London policemen have arrived, and are doing
duty in Melbourne. The mounted troopers and cadets
have nearly rid the country of bushrangers, although
they will doubtless soon reappear.
Geelong possesses natural advantages far superior to
those of Melbourne, lying as it does on the shores of
ths bay, and surrounded by rich agricultural land. Un-
fortunately, however, there is a bar at the entrance of
the bay which prevents vessels drawing more than ten
feet of water coming up to the wharf. This bar is, how-
ever, in process of removal, or rather the ship channel
is being deepened. When this is the case, this town
will rapidly increase in size and prosperity. At present
it contains about 20,000 inhabitants, and is the entrepOt
of Ballarat and the whole of the western district. More
wool and tallow is shipped from here than any other
port in the colony. The rate of wages is rather higher
than in Melbourne ; land for agricultural purposes is
more readily procurable ; and altogether it presents a
much better field for an immigrant than the metropolis.
It is about fifty miles from Melbourne, and steam-boats
run twice a day between the two towns.
Some very rich tin ore has been discovered near the
Ovens gold field, and a company is being formed for the
purpose of tin streaming.
The Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company is
about to commence its operations by the erection of
the Geelong terminus, and tenders for the construc-
tion of the permanent way are advertised for. The
One will pass over nearly a dead level throughout its
entire length, with the exception of the two miles nearest
Melbourne ; and this expense it is proposed to do away
with by a junction with the Melbourne and Williams
Town Railway. In that case the line would only be 38
miles long, and the estimated expense (only a single
line of rails being laid down) at the ') b

If the line has to be carried into Melbourne,ros uat
it will be
43 miles long, and would cost considerably more. The
reason why the expense per mile is so small is that the
greater portion of the land over which it passes is a free
grant to the company by the Government ; that there
are no engineering difficulties ; and that the whole of the
preliminary expenses have been paid and an act of coun-
cil obtained for something less than 2,0001. The fares
authorised to be charged are only 50 per cent. more
than those allowed by the English act, they being
3d., and 10. per mile for the first, second, and third
class respectively. The Government has guaranteed 5
per cent. for 20 years on 200,000/. of the paid-up
capital.
The Hobson's Bay Railway Company has sent home
an order for rails and rolling stock, and it is confidently
stated that it will be in work within two years from the
present date.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE DE

BRABANT.

No event of recent date in the history of Belgium has
caused so much excitement at Brussels as the marriage
of the heir apparent of the throne with the Archduchess
Maria of Austria, daughter of that Archduke Joseph,
Palatine of Hungary. The dynasty of Leopold, already
consolidated by his consummate wisdom and all-con-
ciliating benevolence, receives a corroborative guarantee
in a union with the ancient house of Hapsburg, and a
renewal of closer relations with the powerful confedera-
tion which includes the land of his own birth and educa-
tion. The Duke de Brabant is still very young—only
18 years of age, but of tall stature, with quite a Bour-
bon face. His manners are precocious, as is usually
the case with plants of a Royal conservatory—the
coolness, the aplomb, and the knowledge of persons
which he has belonging rather to a man of thirty.
The interview between the bride and bridegroom took
place fin fa private apartment of the chateau of Vis-
count Biollay. The Arch-duchess Maria is of middle
height, of moderate embonpoint, of a fine healthy corn.
plexion, and of a most pleasing expression of counte-
nance. She wore a costume of blue and white. When
the presentations and recognitions had taken place, the
King, leading forward the Duchess de Brabant, stepped
on the balcony ; and the moment lie appeared the densely-
assembled mass of people who had crowded from all the
eastern part of Belgium into Verviers, burst into one
spontaneous shout of " Vive le Roi !" " Vive la Duchesse
de Brabant !" and the band striking up " 4it peat on
etre mieux qu'au sein de sa famine," affectionate and
significant glances were exchanged by the Royal group.
The Royal family and the commission then partook of
dejeunsr, and the train started for the station at Verviers.
On arriving at the station there were the usual addresses
and felicitations of the authorities, with a profusion of
garlands and flags, and the same at other stations along
the route. The progress to Liege was through the
beautiful valley of the Vesdre. This is the Birmingham
and Wolverhampton of Belgium ; but the long furnace
chimneys, instead of rising from a Staffordshire inferno
of unvarying grim blackness, are mingled with vast
forests hanging on mountain slopes, verdant champaigns,
and clear rushing rills. Every fire was put out, and the
atmosphere was colourless. Liege and Verviers are the
principal localities of the very small Socialist and Re-
publican party in Belgium. Nothing, however, but
enthusiasm was visible at either place. This marriage
with a daughter of the first Catholic Power of Germany
has been very acceptable to the clergy, which is so
influential in Belgium. At Brussels the whole
of the vast station was thronged with the lead-
ing persons of the town, the State, and the army.
The warmth of the reception of the royal bridal party as
it proceeded up the Boulevard Botanique and the Rue
Royale was all that they could possibly wish for. Every
window of the tall and elegant mansions on the route
was crowded with ladies in gala costume, waving hand-
kerchiefs, and the King, upon his arrival at the Palace,
once more presented the Duchess on the balcony,amidst
repeated acclamations. The bells of the churches were
at this time ringing their merriest peals, and the cannon

THE GOLD FIELDS AT VICTORIA. - The Victoria
goldfields continue to produce the greatest quantity
of the metal, and have drawn away most of the
diggers from the northern province. Theresame-
ness in the accounts from all the fields ; reports of the
greater productiveness of certain spots, and the invari-
able rush to them from others, complaints of the enor-
mous prices of provisions and forage, and the non-
arrival of the post, form the staple of news. The roads
