By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.
37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
bomb, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., Sze.
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-
pities, 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 consequences resulting from such mal-practice
may easily be avoided, if sufferers from these maladies were to aster
tain if their medical adviser be a member of the London College of
Physicians, Surgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any one possessing
either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus
the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11.

The long continuance of most Maladies arising from impurities,
while it tends to render detection more certain, and thus frequently
to embitter the domestic hearth, also serves to excite feelings of dis.
appointment, and to induce lowness of spirits, and other sensations
of a most painful kind. The TRIESEUAR effectually, in the short
space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of
these Diseases, to whatever stage they may have advanced, possess-

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION.

Yesterday a special Court of Commissioners was
held at the chief office, Greek-street ; Mr. R. Jebb pre-
siding.
The CHAIRMAN, on the opening of the court, said that
in consequence of a resolution come to by the court a
few days since to adjourn nine 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, Sandgate, 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 1,1501. ; 110 feet of sewer, 3 feet by
2 feet, in Conduit court, Covent-garden ; and 90 feet of
12 inch piposewer in Lazenby-court—estimate 177/. ; 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,

FROST," WILLIAMS, AND JONES.

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, ->uld
have sought
upset an existing
to write .=

Nation," as
period of French _ _ nation ~ no
doubt, the full right to prescribe the manner in
which it shall be ruled, and the form of govern-
ment which it prefers. It is, however, equally
clear that a few obscure individuals, 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 1
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 ill-will of the operatives is not directed against
the action of the Government. The disputes between
employers and employed are lainentable enough -
but they have not been coined 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-
cognise the 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 kindlierH
feelings of . universal toleration and forbeAranee.
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
as 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.

7HE CHARGE OF CORRUPTION AGAINST
IRISH MEMBERS.

The select committee appointed to investigate this
charge met again yesterday at one o'clock, and resumed
the inquiry: The members were all present, including
Mr. Henley (chairman), Lord Hotham, Lord Barring-
ton, Colonel Bentinck, Mr. Bright, Mr. Muutz, Mr.
Macartney, Mr. Keogh (the Irish Solicitor-General),
Mr. Harcourt Vernon, Mr. Butt, and Mr. G. H. Moore.
Mr. Burke Roche, and Mr. Daniel O'Connell,
M.P., were again in attendance, as were also Dr. Gray,
Mr. Lucas, M.P., and Mr. Duffy, M.P. The room was
crowded throughout the day.
Mr. Kane, the solicitor, was recalled, and produced
certain memoranda in his own handwriting relating to
the loan by Mr. Howley to Mr. Somers, made at the
time of the transaction. Among those memoranda
was one to the effect that, on the 17th November
1840, he (witness) had finished the searches for any
unsatisfied judgments that might be outstanding
against Mr. Somers' property • and another showed
that on the following day, the ifith of Nov., the bond
was executed by Mr. Somers, and the 400/. paid over
to that gentleman by the witness in the presence of
Mr. O'Hara. Mr. Somers' solicitor continued for several
years after that to act as the solicitor of Mr. Howley.
His impression was that the loan originated with Mr.
Somers applying directly to Mr. Howley. An adver-
tisement had been previously inserted in the newspapers
by Mr. Howley, stating that a sum of money was
ready to lend, and referring applicants to witness.
Witness did not negotiate the loan of 4001. made by
Mr. Howley to Dr. Curtis. That loan to Dr. Curtis was
made in Trinity Term, 1841, much later than the loan to
Mr. Somers, and it was secured on bond in the same
way, and not on mortgage.
Mr. James Fair was next called. He said he resided
chiefly in the county of Roscommon and occasionally in
Dublin. In March, 1848, he was desirous of obtain-
ing the appointment of a paid guardian, and had
two or three communications with the Poor-law Com-
missioners on that subject. In the early part of 1849
he came to Dublin, where he mot Mr. Charles O'Hara,
a solicitor, at Westport, an old schoolfellow of his, to
whom he mentioned that he was making application for
the appointment in question. Mr. O'Hara stated the
name of a Mr. Graham, a solicitor, in Dublin, as being
likely to forward the views of witness, provided witness
satisfied Mr. Graham as to his qualifications. In a
subsequent interview he had with Mr. O'Hara, that gen-
tleman stated that a sum of money would Be required,
but witness could not now recollect whether the amount
was named. A day or two after that intimation he hap-
pened to dine with Dr. Gray, an intimate friend of his,
to whom he mentioned the circumstance of making an
application for the appointment of a paid guardian-
ship, when he said the office was not likely to be a
permanent one. He met Mr. Graham about the same
time by mere chance at an hotel where he was din-
ing, with whom he had some conversation on the subject
of the appointment, but not a word passed between
them as to any money being wanted. Witness inferred
from what he had heard from Mr. O'Hara that it was
through Mr. Somers, the then member for Sligo, that he
was to get the appointment, because Mr. Graham was in-
timately connected with Mr. Somers.
Dr. Gray was recalled, at his own request, and stated,
substantially, that the evidence he gave on a preceding
day had been misconceived by the short-hand writer of
the committee, in that the printed report of the evidence
represented him as implicating Mr. Burke Roche, M.P.,
and Mr. D. O'Connell, M.P., as being concerned in the
sale of places, which he never fora moment meant to do,
and that, in mentioning the names of those gentlemen ia
connection with certain pecuniary transactions, he was
merely repeating a vague rumour he had heard in Dub-
lin. He did not intend to give any force, or authenticity
whatever to that rumour.

The Chairman then reminded Dr. Gray that on a pre-
vious day he was apprised of a resolution of the com-
mittee that they would expect him by Monday last to
be prepared to furnish them with the names of parties
who might be able to substantiate the general statements
he had made in giving this evidence before the com-
mittee. He (the chairman) had to ask Dr. Gray if he
was now willing to give the names of those parties ?
Dr. Gray replied that he was prepared to give the
names of some parties who had had conversations with
him upon the subject, and who had stated, in the most
distinct and positive way, that members of Parliament
were in the habit of selling their patronage.
The Chairman—Then be kind enough to give those
names. _ _ _

Mr. Bright (interposing) said he wished the room to
be cleared before the witness complied with that request.
The room was cleared accordingly ; but the committee
shortly afterwards adjourned, it being 4 o'clock, until
Thursday, at 12 o'clock.

Her Majesty will inspect the ijatTntonK"onCESa7t.ur-
day, and it will sail, in pursuance of orders at present in
force, on Sunday morning for the Baltic. The spectacle
of the Queen reviewing her fleet in battle array before
despatching it to its destination will doubtless again
draw thousands to these shores. The inhabitants of
Portsmouth intend to show their respect for Sir Charles
Napier by presenting him, with an address, and giving
a parting ovation on his embarkation for sea on Sa-
turday. It is supposed Sir Charles will embark at the
Victoria-pier from the house of his friend Mr. Grant
next Saturday afternoon. The Victoria-pier is within a
couple of hundred yards of the spot on Smithson-beach,
now marked by an old anchor of the Victory, where
Nelson embarked before Trafalgar. The weather to-day
has been somewhat clearer than yesterday, and the
fleet at Spithead has been plainly visible nearly all day.
Rear-Admiral Corry shifted his flag from the Prince Re-
gent to the Neptune, 120, this morning. It is a subject
of general regret that the tides did not admit of this
magnifioent three-decker being got out to Spithead yes-
terday. With the matchless crew of the Prince Regent,
Captain Hutton would have had her equipped and re-
ported ready for sea in 48 hours, and she would have
formed a most noble and conspicuous object in the spec-
tacle anticipated on Saturday next. The Blenheim, 60,
screw two-decker, met with a mishap on going to Spit-
head yesterday afternoon. After clearing the harbour's
mouth, in the direct course for Spithead, when off the
Spit-buoy, she found a vessel moored directly in the
fairway of the harbour channel. On discovering this
(there was a thick fog at the time), the Blenheim put
her helm a-port (in pursuance of the instruc-
tions laid down to follow in such cases) to go
under the stern of the merchantman, thinking she
was anchored in mid-channel, when she immediately
after grounded on the edge of the shoal of the Spit Sand.
She sent into the Port Admiral for assistance, which
was promptly despatched. Admiral Superintendent
Martin's dockyard staff were quickly at the scene of the
disaster, and worked all night at lightening the ship of
her guns, heavy sea stores, water, &c., and, being per-
fectly upright, she floated off the shoal between 5 and
6 o'clock this morning, we believe without damage.
The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Thomas Cochrane, was
at the spot in the Fire Queen all night.
Rear-Admiral Chads has exercised a division of the
fleet to-day in shot practice, and the ships have been

Theha s
facts are simply these :—The United Kingdom, 245
tons, Hobson master, in ballast, while on her way to-
day from Southampton to Sunderland, got within range,
and a 321 b. shot struck her a little abaft the mainmast,
above the cabin deck, entered the vessel, struck a flour
barrel on the other side, and, coming against one of the
iron knees of the vessel, lodged there. We are happy

The St. Jean d'Acre's bowsprit-cap, which was
started on the occasion of the collision with the De-
sperate is being bolted afresh—an operation which re-
quires the jibboom to be got in ; a new maintopmast in
lieu of the one carried away at sea has also to be tried
aloft before being stowed. These things have delayed
her getting all ataunt before this.
The Royal George, screw, 120, Capt. Codrington, C. 8.,
only averaged 6 knots an hour from Devonport here on
Sunday last, owing to meeting a severe easterly gale ;
her complement is 990, and she was only 57 short of
that number on making Spithead. Her lower deck ports
are 5 feet 5 inches out of the water. The last of Ad-
miral Corry's division (the Arrogant) has been paid
wages to-day. The fleet appears to be moored now in
the following order :

THE 19TH REGIMENT.
The most active measures are being adopted at the
Tower to complete this regiment for service in the East.
A very large number of men who had volunteered from
the depot companies of the 22d, 25th, 27th, 37th, 67th,
and 85th arrived yesterday, and, having undergone
a most minute inspection, were at once incorpo-
rated with the regiment, and received with deaf-
ening cheers by their new comrades. The men who
are to compose the depot companies, principally those
whose periods of service are nearly expired, were told off
yesterday morning, and will march to Deal in a day or two
and he quartered in South Barracks. At the evening roll-
call the regiment mustered 963 strong, leaving a defi-
ciency of only 37 bayonets to complete the war establish-
ment, and it is fully expected that this number will be
made up during to-day. To show the zeal of the offi-
cers and non-commissioned officers in augmenting the
19th to the number required (1,000 rank and file), it is
only necessary to state that on the arrival of the regi-
ment three weeks since in the Tower it was not quite
550 strong, so that nearly 450 men have been raised
during that short time. It is believed that this corps
will march from the Tower on Tuesday next for South-
ampton, in order to be in readiness to embark "when
called upon. The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade,
recently returned from the Cape of Good Hope, and at
present quartered at Dover, will garrison the Tower.
