PARENTS, &c., SHOULD READ THIS ADVERTISEMENT.
911 HE juvenile vacation of the present Midsummer
has afforded L. HYAM a favourable opportunity of coin hieing
a large and respectable class of purchasers that Dress for the Young
of various ages is designed and made at 36, GRACECHURCH-
STREET, City, in the newest and best style.
It is a familiar maxim, that paternal pride is not only pardonable,
but becoming, and it would appear that this sentiment is in lively
existence, judging from the numbers who have brought their chil-
dren to L. Hymn's Establishment for attire, which d'sparys novelty,
juvenile fashion, neatness, and general superiority.
L. Hyam's Dress for " the rising race_" may be divided into three
k'nds, thus :

DRESS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN.
DRESS FOR ELDER BOYS.
DRESS FOR SENIOR YOUTHS.

The proprietor would intimate that in each of these chiss'ficat'ons
a distinct style is made strikingly apparent. A variety of new and
beauticvl materials have been brought out by L, Hyrm, together
with many novel fashions peculiar to the present season.
With regard to the prices charged for these unique Anti excellent
Grrments and Suits, the proprietor would observe that the lowest
figures (consistent with just remuneration) have been quot'd by
him, in order to render .ell satisfaction to the public.
OBSERVE !—L. lIYAM begs -to state that he has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street,
City (established upwards of lii years), is the only place of busi-
isess carried on by L. UYAM, where the public can be supplied with
good, durable, and fashiolable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at
such economical prices as must defy all competition.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
peed an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without siftings, wires, or liga Tres. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeih as not to be distinguished from the original by
the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be fourd ve-y superior to any teeth ever before used. This method
does not require t. e extraction o: roots, or any painful operation,
and will give support and preserve teeth that ai e loose, and are
guaranteed to restore articu'ation and rcaslcalion ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be w. thin reach of the most economicrl,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possib'e. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At

Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
1 1,1 AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
IL the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile lrregn,arities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture 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 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 scien oscannot 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 hypocritle.al and mock-modest, has bad
the confidence, through the medium of the public tress, 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 succe,s 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.

Translated from •_he German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Plekford 's known to English readers by his frequent predi-

"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this

with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symatbisers,'
and • Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the bands of those who suffer from th com‘
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds 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 money This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
wait upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, Juno 16, 1852.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

ADMIRAL DUNDAS'S FLEET.

We hear from the Mediterranean that the finest spirit
pervades the small but efficient fleet. Rumours of wars
have been rife among the squadron during the whole
cruise ; and, speaking for the ships with the officers of
which we are best acquainted, we can safely say that
should such a consummation ensue we do not envy the
gentlemen, be they whom they will, who will have the
disagreeable task of endeavouring to thrash them. For
downright work we do Kt_ believe there ever was a
squadron in finer trim or better spirits. Show and
parade have been less attended to by the commander-in-
chief than the getting up of a good morale among the
men ; and in this he has perfectly succeeded. Hours and
days that in former times used to be spent in routines of
racing, drill, in flinging about huge unmanageable spars
which could never require to be so rapidly shifted as to
make it worth while to risk the expenditure of human
life, which has often taken place in the bravado of a race
at shifting them, are now occupied either less laboriously
at gun drill or in recreation • so that the men, not hav-
ing their energies so intensely drawn upon, have some
remaining for a pinch, and are as full of life at the pro-
spect of active service as a well-bred and well-condi-
tioned hunter would be at the cry of a pack of hounds.
Small as the squadron is, every particle of it is in excel-
lent condition, ready and eager for anything.
The voyage of the squadron to Besika was prosecuted
with the greatest energy, the latter part having been
performed by the steamers taking the liners in tow, a
sight which was as striking as it is novel. The whole
fleet looked like a party of gnats returning with a num-
ber of huge black beetles as prisoners of war.
A correspondent says, writing on the 13th :
" A French steamer has just come out from the Darda-
nelles (one o'clock)—looks warlike.
" 13th, Evening.—Consul (or vice) came down in the
Tiger to-day. Since then the following has been given as
the news brought by him :—The French fleet, consisting of
nine or ten liners, &c., are at Mitzleur, and the steamer
before-mentioned was carrying dispatches to their admiral.
The Russians are at Burgos, a town on the other side of
the Bosphorus, having 16 sail of the line, frigates and
transports, large and small, amounting in all to about 60
vessels—the transports full of troops. Further, it is said,
that the Turkish troops are assembled from all parts, and
that the Turks are not quietly awaiting their fate by any
means. One thing, it is said, has been already done—viz.,
a regiment of refugees has been raised of E angarians and
others, not less than 3,000 strong.
" If it be true that the Turks have six liners in readi-
ness, the united force of the allies will be considerably
beyond those of the Russians in strength. Whether or no,
I wish them well out of it. Whether it be the natural
feeling of affection which arises in the mind of a weak
civilian to the burly military who are about to fight for
him (a feeling which comes particularly home to us just
now when we want a battle to be fought) which induces
me, I cannot say ; but I must repeat, that a fleet in bettor
fighting condition, with men possessed of more pluck and
bottom than, this said'one at Besika Bay, is not often to
be met with ; and it is to be hoped that while inducements
for our seamen to return to those ships at present manning
may not be wanting at home, the Parliament will take
care those abroad shall get something more than the amuse-
ment of exchanging hard knocks for their pains.
" I hope Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Co. will not be
forgotten—that their peaceful prophecies and millennial
proceedings may be called to mind, to induce the people to
reward them as those who had done their best to destroy
this naval force of ours so richly deserve.
"14th.—Admiral made signal this morning, ' Leave to
go on shore ; but all who go are to continue near the
ships.' Caradoc not yet arrived."—Morning Herald.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 4,

Another trial of Sir Thomas Mitchell's bomerang pro,
peller took place this morning on board the Conflict, un
der the command of Captain W. H. Henderson, C.B.
of the Blenheim, attended by Mr. Murray, chief engineer
and inspector of machinery in the dockyard. The Con-
flict left the harbour at 9 a.m. for the measured mile in
Stoke's Bay, when the average result of six runs was
9.378 knots—an improvement of about two-thirds of a
knot on the speed attainable with the Conflict's own
propeller. The average revolutions were 651.
This trial with the bomerang was made in order to
test the action of the blades, after the two small con-
tinuations which Sir Thomas Mitchell had been induced
to make had been taken off and the propeller reduced
to its original shape and proportions. The result has
been a gain of two-thirds of a knot, which nautical
men consider a great deal with so heavy a ship as
the Conflict ; and we understand that Sir Thomas
Mitchell means to challenge Griffith's propeller to do
as much with the same ship. That fine steam-frigate,
the Arrogant, went out of harbour this morning
shortly before the Conflict, and we observed her trying
her speed also at the measured mile. The Arrogant
has been recently refitted with new boilers, &e., and
her screw is a common one. We therefore watched
with much interest when she turned into the mea-
sured mile, hoping to see a trial between the two ships,
or rather between the two propellers; for the Arrogant is
a remarkably fine vessel of her class, and with respect to
the Conflict, we need only point to the official records of
her doings and misdoings. Notwithstanding the Arro-
gant's advantages, it was soon apparent that she was
losing ground, and while the distance between the two
vessels was growing more and more, the Arrogant sud-
denly altered her course. No accident of a serious kind
could have occurred to occasion this deviation, as we per-
ceived her again upon the measured mile after the Con-
flict had finished her runs.
The general result of the trials to which the bomerang
has been subjected seems to us fully to establish its high
claims to public favour. Its form is based upon strictly
mathematical principles. In point of celerity Sir Thomas
Mitchell has proved the efficiency of his bomerang in a
very heavy vessel, and that efficiency will be more pal-
pably manifest if his offer to fit one to her Majesty's yacht
the Fairy is accepted. In other points, not so striking
to superficial observers, perhaps, as celerity, but not
less intrinsically important, namely, the diminished wear
and tear of ships and the economy of fuel, the superiority
of the bomerang is decided. We alluded to the absence'
of vibration in the trial we last reported ; and to-day
we purposely took our station for a considerable time
upon the taffrail where, of course, the vibration would be
most perceptible, and were even in that position scarcely
conscious of any ; in the midships of the vessel and
below, while. the Conflict was making nearly 10 knots,
we could perceive no vibration at all. The enterprising
merchants of Liverpool have shown themselves sensible
to the vast economical advantages of the bomerang, and
have already fitted it to several of their ships, which
have accomplished quick voyages with a much dimi-
nished expenditure, as we noticed in our former report.
The propeller used on board the Conflict was manufac-
tured by Taylor and Co., of Birkenhead, and Sir Thomas
Mitchell pronounced an emphatic eulogium on the skill
of their workmen, and their ready appreciation of the
principle of his invention, or rather his ingenious appli-
cation of the principle of the rude Australian weapon to
the purposes of propulsion. The leading and the follow-
ing blades of the bomerang propeller may be likened to
the dorsal and caudal fins of fishes when swimming ; act
, on water at similar angles ; and are rooted on the shaft
on the same principle of strength as those fins are at-
tached to the fish's body, imparting the power which is
to give it motion. To give the bomerang propeller full
space to develope its powers, larger apertures are re-
quisite than are now generally found in either ships of
of the Royal Navy or in merchant vessels. The full
bomerang propeller requires, we are informed, a space
in length equal to one-third of the height. This alters,-
' tion can, however, be easily effected. Meanwhile the
exhibition of the bomerang propeller in its present com-
pulsorily crippled form has so convinced us of its im-
portance that we are confident of its eventual adoption.
The Comus, 14, Commander Fellowes, arrived at Spit-
head last evening from Sheerness, and saluted the flag
of the Commander-in-Chief at this port.
The Arrogant, 46, screw steam-frigate, Captain Fre-
mantle, having been supplied with new boilers, steamed
out of the factory basin this morning, and proceeded out
of harbour to try her engines. She will re-ship stores
and receive her crew from the Camperdown immediately,
and join the squadron at Spithead.
The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Goldsmith, came
into harbour this afternoon, and hauled under the sheers
to be supplied with a new mainmast.
The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert returned from
her cruise and came into harbour last evening, the trial
of anthracite coal being most satisfactory.
The Fairy Royal yacht will be undocked to-morrow,
after-refitting.
