ROYAL INSTI7 UTION.

Plow? s and ploughing, ancient and modern, formed
the subject of the lecture on Friday evening, which was
delivered by Mr. John Wilson. The object to be at-
tained by ploughing, as every one knows, is to break
up the soil and expose it to the influence of the atmos-
phere ; and though this is best effected by digging, yet
it appears that man has, from the very earliest times,
availed himself of the means of saving labour which the
plough affords. The application of animal power in
turning over the soil has not, indeed, been much im-
proved in principle since the days of the patriarchs,
though the construction of the implement, which origi-
nally consisted altogether of wood, has undergone great
improvement ; and much advantage is derived from
having every part of the plough made of metal. Mr.
Wilson explained, and illustrated by drawings and
models, the forms and constructions of many of the
ploughs used by the ancients, who, though far inferior
to the moderns in mechanical skill, contrived with
their rude implements to plough their land in a
manner that should put the English farmer to shame
Among the requisites of good ploughing, perfectly
straight and parallel furrows were insisted on, and the
curves and irregularities observable in most arable lands
in England • would have been regarded by the ancients
as indications of mental aberration. The deep plough-
ing of the ancient Greeks and Romans was also dwelt
upon by Mr. Wilson, as proof of the superior attention
they paid to the preparation of the land. A depth of
twelve or fourteen inehes was not uncommon in formei•
times, but now it is seldom that the ploughshare enters
the ground to a depth of six inches, and far more fre-
quently it only scarifies the surface. One of the points
to which the ancients paid particular attention was, that
the animals yoked together to the same plough should
be of equal strength, by which means the regularity of
the ploughing was increased. Little attention appeared
to be paid to this point at the present time, so little,
indeed, that a recent traveller on the Continent had
observed an old woman and an ass yoked together to
a plough. Mr. Wilson dwelt at some length on the
attempts that have been made to introduce a superior
implement to the plough for cultivating the land, and
on the probability of applying steam power successfully
to that purpose. Among the most promising in-
ventions as a substitute for the plough, he mentioned
Parsons's digging machine, of which a model was exhi-
bited. By that machine a number of spades are driven
with an alternating motion into the ground, and on
being drawn out they turn over the earth on each side.
So far as the action of the model could be observed the
plan promises well, but it has not yet been tested by
experience. With respect to the application of steam
power, Mr. Wilson was decidedly of opinion that it is
incompatible with so rude an implement as the common
plough, as steam power has never been found available
as a direct moving force without the aid of machinery.
He adduced many unsuccessful attempts that had been
made to propel ploughs by steam, and finally brought
under notice Usher's steam ploughing machine, which
he thought might prove successful. This machine is lo-
comotive, and as it moves along the ground at the rate
of three miles an hour, it keeps in rapid rotation a
wheel armed with a number of inclined cutting blades,
whicn penetrate the soil and turn it over. This
machine would plough seven acres a day, and the
calculated cost of working it is 2s. 6d. an acre, Mr.
Wilson said it was estimated that this steam ploughing
machine would save 75 per cent. on the present cost of
ploughing land, which would be equal to a total saving
of four millions and a half sterling per annum on the
agricultural expenditure of the kingdom. At the close
of the lecture many of the company crowded round the
table to examine and to hear further illustrations re-
specting the action of the ploughing machines exhibited.
Among the objects in the library was a highly finished
model of Mr. Appold's centrifugal pump, which threw
its minature cascade of water from the top of an elevated
tank. A " nugget " of Australian gold, valued at
3501., was] on another table, tempting gold seekers to
the diggings ;
and M. G. Winiwarter, ,of Vienna, exhi-
bited his patent gun primers and composition for fire
arms, occasionally startling timid visitors by explosions.
The peculiarity of the explosive composition consists in
the employment of a solution of gun cotton, or collodion,
as a cement to combine together the different fulmi-
nating substances, by which means the power of the
composition is increased, and it is rendered impervious
to moisture.

NORFOLK RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of the
proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the
office, Guildhall-buildings ; Mr. Peto, M.P., in the
chair. The report stated that the revenue of the half-
year showed an increase of about 3,2001., as compared
with the corresponding period of the previous year,
whilst no addition is'made to the working expenses. The
Eastern Counties Railway Company having declared a
dividend of 6s. per share, the proprietors of the Norfolk
stock will be entitled to a dividend of 11. 10s. per-1001.
stock, and of 4s. 6d. per share on the new 201. shares
(151. paid up), and of 68. on the like shares paid up in
full. The dividend warrants will be payable on the 15th
March next. The interest on the net 41. per cent.
debenture stock will be calculated to this date, and pay-
able on the 15th March. A motion for the adoption of
the report was put and carried unanimously ; after which
the meeting separated.

V IL the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities 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-
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 remove%
and how the evil and its cortißquences may be avoided, aid 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 selectieg Mi., department of practice, he has been amply
rev 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 aid ignorant empiries, 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 the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Pickford 's known to English readers by his frequent prime-
al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
ime, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medl-
- reader. We trust this may not be the last, If he shall

"We bronnscd 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 Symathisers,'
and • Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could Mid its way into the bands of those who suffer from tit com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds would
be raved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the

likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

QIGNS of the TIMES—not the " Daily Times"
kj or the " Sunday Times," but the black and white rain and snow
sort of " times," provoking the skater's wrath by broken sheets of
ice, freezing for every one to contemplate, unless they are hahited in
warm, firm, and comfortable attire, which, for these " times," should
also be waterproof. Their being at this season many counterfeits, it '
is no way improper to describe the leatares of the genuine article.
It should be made of first -rate materials, combining firmness, strength,
and superior finish—it should be cut-on principles which secure a
correct fit, which cause the garments to fall in a graceful manner
from the person of the wearer—it should display workmanship which
cannot fail, and such as only a thoroughly artistic establishment can
exhibit. The Dress to measure or ready made, presented by E.
MOSES and SON, possesses all these qualities on the most command-
ing aspects, and is charged considerably lower prices than at any
other house. Its variety affords the amplest choice for Gentlemen
or Mechanics, for Sportsmen or Juveniles, on the same terms. Hats
