This Company 1$ formed for tie purpose of carrying out Work-
man's Patent for manufacturing waterproof, common and hollow
bricks; tiles, &c.
The general complaint of architects, surveyors, builders, and others
engaged in the erection of docks, warehouses, tunnels, and other
structures, has been that, with our progress and improvements in
scientific and other matters, nothing has been produced that will per-
manently resist the destructive influence of damp. Ceinenta, stuccos,
and'other means have been introduced, but without success. Brie as
generally, from their porous nature, absorb and retain large quan-
tities of water, and 'become conductors of damp. The waterproof
bricks made by Mr. Workman's patent will not absorb or retain
Moiature ; neither are they affected by the atmosphere, thus reme-,
dying the evil complained of. '
It will be seen that bricks, tiles, &c., made under this patent, being
completely waterproof, with the same adhesiv as the com-
mon brick,' possess great advantage over all errso in the construc-
tion or building of foundations, warehouses, wilts, tunnels, docks,
walla, tanks, bating, &c., and for brickwork of &Very description.
The Peculiar charatter of these bricks has -beea proved, by the
practical tests of the gentlemen comprising the Jury of Class 27 at
the Great Exhibition of All Nations in 1851.
The patentee has not silly obtained the prize medal from the Com-
missioners of the. Great Exhibition of 1851, bathe had been honoured
by the high commendation of his Royal Highness the Prince Con-
sort' and' his Majesty the King of the Belgians.
As the waterproof and also the common bricks will be manufac-
tured by improved machinery, the trade will be supplied at lower
prices than at present charged.
The acknowledged superiority of these bricks over all ethers will
insure an all bat uplimited demand, and orders are contmuallybeing
received by the patentee for large qaantitiei both for hom
see con-
sumption and exportation ; numerous applications are likewi being
made for licenses.
The following Report of, the Jury composed of the undermentioned
'eminent and scientific gentlemen was submitted to her Majesty's
Oainmissioners for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all .
,I,lptlems, .1851 :—Benetlette Pistrucci, Royal Mint; Lord Sudeley ;
.:!••`f. Ansted, F.R.S., Reporter; Bernardo de Bemardis ; George
win, F.R.S.; Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., F.R.S., M.P.; Em-
ed

11. Henry, F.R.S. ; George Lowe, C.E., F.R.S.
.Report of the Jury submitted to her Majesty's Commisioners for the
Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Natioru, 1851.
"$ prize medal has been awarded to Mr. J. Workman (116, p.
773) for an ingenious and apparently effectual method of rendering
, common bricks perfectly waterproof, at a cost of about Os per thou-
sand. The machine by which the process is effected is sufficient to
turn out from' 30,000 to 50,000 per day, and the waterproofing takes
place either during the first process of manufacture. or after the
brick is completed. No extra cost of carriage is needed to complete
the work under any circumstances.
"It is unnecessary to point out all the advantages that would re-
sult from taking advantage of this method, but the reporter would
not omit to Maim its peculiar importance in the case of cottages and
small houses, and for vaults and foundations. It is in these appli-
cations that the very great absorbency of common bricks (which will
take,lap, on the average, nearly a quart of water each,,is so ruinous,
not only to the property exposed under their shelter but to the
health of the, inhabitants, who are often very, ill supplied with the
means of removing the evil."
• It has become a subject of great national importance to procure an
ample supply of bricks to meet the continued and increasing demand.
It may be remarked that during the last season (1852) the stock
round the metropolis ran short, by several millions, of the required
bupply.
It te now eatiefeteroa heYond a doubt that -beickimanufactured by
machinery are superior in quality to those proilucea by tauot"•, the
clay receiving in its transit through the die great compression,
which cannot be effected by hand.
On reference to the report of the jury selected by her Majesty's
Commissioners at the late Exhibition it will be seen that one ma-
chine alone is capable of yielding 30,000 to 50,900 per day.
The profits which will accrue to the Shareholders from the manu-
facture of waterproof and common bricks and the sale of licences will
ensure a large and increasing dividend, and, at the present price of
stock bricks, at least 60 per cent. may be safely relied upon. The
Directors therefore feel confident that they will be enabled to declare
a dividend within a few months from the commencement of opera-
tions.
The patentee has entered into a conditional contract with the Di-.
rectors to dispose of the whole of his interest upon very favourable
terms, and, to mark the confidence he has in the success of the
undertaking, he desires to take one moiety of the purchase money in
shares. ' ,•
The Directors have also concluded on the purchase of several plots
of ground, so that the manufacture of bricks can be commenced
forthwith; and it is their intention periodically to advertise in the
" Nu lder," and other trade journals, the price of all descriptions of
bricks and tiles manufactured by them, in order that builders may
be guided, in this especial department, by the most perfect accuracy
and economy in making their estimates for ail conti acts they under-

take.
Applications for shares to be made to the broker, or the Company's
offices, 34, Moorgate-street, where prospectuses may be had, samples
of the waterproof brick inspected, and every information obtained.

MEDICAL AD YOUTH AND MATURITY.E ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the Loudon Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
1/1 the various disorders of the nei voas and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and execs. es, 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
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 penelties, 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 sacannot 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 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
revs arded 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 must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It 13 desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA.'MEET
should first obtain a copy of his work on

SPIRIT OP Tfli PUBLIC JOURNALS.

RELATIONS OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
WITH THE NATIVE STATES OF INDIA.
(From the Times.
.It will be remembered by such of our readers as
have directed their attention to the relations of

the British Government with the Native States of

India, that in the year 1851 the arrears of debt

which had accumulated upon the Nizam's Govern-
ment, more especially for- the payment of its
military contingent, were so considerable that it
was necessary to take prompt and decided measures
for the recovery of this large sum. An assignment
of territory was demanded for a period of three
years, and districts had already been marked out,
the revenue of which would, it was thought, suffice
to clear off this deficiency. The Niza.m and his
Ministers were, however, extremely averse to this
expedient, fora surrender of territory is the last
conditiOn -to which a native Government will sub-

mit. General Fraser himself, then British resident
at Hyderabad, appears to have doubted the policy
of acquiring piecemeal, or for a limited period, a
territory which was likely to fall altogether and
permanently into our hands. Moreover, it was
evident that if the Nizam was unable to meet the

cost of the contingent out of his territorial re-
venues when they were undiminished, he would
be still less able to pay his army when one of the
most productive districts had been taken from him.
:Zor these reasons-the British Government con-
tented itself at the time with the, effinig msde to
pay off m cash the most pressing 'portion of the
debt. A Considerable instalment was raised, partly
by further; advances from native, bankers, and
partly by money from the Nizam's- private trea-
sury. But it was obvions that this was a temporary
' expedient, destined to ward off the day of reckon-
ing for a short time only, and before long the
financial and military affairs of the Nizank's do-
minions must be placed upon a different footing.
That time has now, it seems, arrived. Colonel
Low has succeeded General Fraser
_for. a time, in

the Residency of Hyderabad, and the claiMs which
were partially disposed of in 1851 are now revived
in a more peremptory forth. The Nizam and his
Ministers have this time no option but to yield
assent, for they have exhausted their resources,
the debt is as large as ever, and they have no
means of paying the troops which are necessary for
the collection of the-revenue, and the safety of the
territory. Early in the month' of May the Resi-
dent was instructed to demand of the Nizam an
immediate settlement.. The Nizain attempted to

make another appeal for delay to the Governor-
General, but in vain ; and.though some discussion
ensued between Colonel Low and Sooraj-001-Moolk,
the Nizam's minister, there is reason to believe
that an agreement has been signed which goes
somewhat beyond the plan proposed in 1851. At
that time the measure contemplated was a lease of
territory representing 36 lace of revenue for.three
years in order to clear off the debt then dile from
the Nizam to the British Government. The
remedy now to .be applied is of a more lasting
character. The districts assigned are to be ad-
ministered in the name of the Nizam by the British
Government, which is to pay the contingent out of
this revenue, and to release the Nizam from the
principal and interest in the debt. The advantage
of this plan must, of course, be determined by the
value of the districtrchosen, and by their capacity
for internal improvement. The present amount of
the debt is above 60 lace of rupees, and the annual
cost of the contingent is from 30- to 34 lace ; but
some reduction may probably be effected in the
strength of the force and in the expenses of
the staff. The districts ought, therefore, to be
sufficiently productive to cover this outlay, and also
to provide for the gradual extinction of the existing
debt. We are not at present in possession of the
exact amount at which they are valtied, but we be-
lieve they comprise one of the most fertile portions
of the dominions of the Nizam, on the banks of the
Krishna, where cotton has been successfully culti-

vated.
It is possible that if the Nizam's Government is
relieved by this arrangement from the heaviest and
-mos* regular charge- upon.. its resources—that,
namely, for the payment of the contingent, which
the British Government was always compelled, for
the safety of the country, to enforce—it may be able
to recover its solvency towards its other creditors.
But since the British Government has found itself
obliged to interfere thus far to obtain a security
for the payment of its own arrears, it is morally
bound to take care that the claims of other parties
to whom the Nizam is equally indebted, should not
be prejudiced because the Governor-General of
India has helped himself to what other creditors are
not strong enough to obtain. In one case especially,
which we examined in detail some time ago, British
Indian subjects have been forcibly dispossessed of
lands which they held under the Nizam's Govern-
ment, as a security for large advances made to the
British contingent. These parties have as yet ap-
pealed in vain for redress to the Governor-General,
to the Court of Directors, and to the Board of Con-
trol. Sir C. Wood refuses to disturb the acknowledg-
ed injustice which the joint powers of Leadenhall-
street have committed. Yet at this very time he is
sanctioning the appropriation of territories in pay-
ment of debts due to the British Government ; and
these territories, as there is strong reason to believe,
will include the very district already mortgaged to
British subjects, and afterwards wrested from them
by the Nizam. So that the Nizam would be
allowed to pay two distinct debts with one district,
and the revenue which the Government is to receive
for State purposes is already charged with an
equitalsle claim of private creditors. It has all
along been admitted, that if the Nizam's Govern-
ment were overthrown and his dominions annexed
to British India, the East India Company would
become liable for the just debts of a power
it had superseded. We have no doubt that
this more decided course of proceeding would be
a great boon to the natives of the country, and
would be far more consistent with justice and
good policy than the attempt to bolster up, against
ourselves and our own subjects, one of the last
and worst of native Governments. At this very
time several combats have taken place in outlying
parts of the Nizam's dominions between Arabs and
Rohillas, in which many lives have been lost.
Having the undoubted power to put an end to
these evils and abuses, we make ourselves, in great
part, responsible for their continuance by neglecting
to stop them. But the injustice is still greater
if the British Government steps in to settle the
question just so far as its own immediate claims
are concerned, provides for them out of the finest
parts of the country, and leaves all the other
claimants to their fate. If the matter has gone
thus far, and we are to impose a new treaty
on the Nizam, it is difficult to conceive what
prevents us from doing what is right altogether,
and putting an end to the mischievous and oppres-
s sive pretence of an independent State which is
kept up in the Nizam's dominions. The scanty
resources of that Prince have been squandered
during the last few years in bringing together irre-
gular bands of Arabs, Sikhs, Pindarees, and native
soldiery, to the number of 6,000 men, on whom
the Government affects to rely, in preference to
the force provided by treaty and disciplined by
British officers. These troops are the terror of the
country, and they may even prove, at some future
period, the centre of a serious disturbance. It is
to be hoped, therefore, that the arrangements now
in progress will include these several matters,
which are likely to give rise to discussion hereafter,
and. that the independent power which the Nizam
may retain will not be such as to enable him to
defraud his creditors or to plunder his subjects,
who must, after all, look to the British Govern-
ment for protection and redress.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
(From the Morning Herald.)
The intelligence from the East adds, in truth,
little or nothing to that which we already know,
or anticipated with such certainty as now to create
no surprise.
On the IGth of this month the Porte formally
and finally rejected the ultianahtm of Russia. The
note containing the rejection was expected to reach
Prince Menschikoff on the 19th, at Odessa.
Europe will now await with anxiety the next step
of the Russian Government, consequent upon that
rejection. The combined fleets of the French and
English had arrived at Besika Bay, and the news
of their arrival had created the most intense en-
thusiasm among the Turks, whose preparations for
a defensive war were vigorously proceeding.
Beyond the very slight addition to the intelli-
gence already conveyed by electric telegraph which
this information conveys, we as yet know-nothing
' more than has been several days since communi-
cated to the public.
Neither does the intelligence that can be gleaned
from the capitals of Europe throw more light upon
the probable result of the events which, after the
lapse of 300 years, have once more centred the
interest of Christendom upon Constantinople. We
have already stated our impression that the refusal
of the ultimatum would be followed by a Russian
occupation of the Danubian principalities, and, for
