..'HERE IS L. HYAM'S ESTABLISHMENT?
THE constantly increasing bulk of the Metro-
polis, and the daily influx of visitors from country districts
and foreign parts, are such as to render necessary a plain guide to
the Proprietor's Warehouse. Be it remembered, therefore, that
" 36, Ciracechurch-street. City," is in the immediate vicinity of the
Monument and King William's Statute, at the foot of London-
bridge. Parties in quest of L. Hyam's trading premises are recom-
mended to keep these "landmarks" in view, in order to preclude the
possibility of unnecessary trouble or disappointment.
WHAT IS L. BYtki'S ESTABLISHMENT ?

L. Hyam's Establishment is devoted to the manufacture and sale
of Bespoke and Ready-made Attire for Gentlemen and Youths.
Hosiery, Hats, and General Outfits, in each of which branches its
recommendati•ns are conspicuous. Novelty and elegance of style,
coupled with superiority of materials of every description, are strik-
ingly developed in the Tailoring Department of L. Hyam's trade ;
and durable, graceful, fashionable, fitting, and economical articles of
Dress are, at all times, obtainable in this direction, to the complete
satisfaction of the purchaser.
L. Hyam's immense Stock of Hosiery, Hats, and General Outfits,
will stand the test of minute inspection, and, when submitted to a
trial, will rise in the estimation of all classes of buyers. A judicious
expenditure of adequate capital in securing the best materials and
artists, and in advantageous retrenchments, is sufficiently evident
on an examination and comparison of the various articles to which
public attention has thus been invited.
OBSERVE I—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street,
City (establishished upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi-
ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with
good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at
such economical prices as must defy all competition.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic
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-
luced 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 Unfruitfhl 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 consequences 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 a 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
rem 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 IT, and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It 13 desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT
should first obtain a copy of his work on

"Dr. Pickford 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-

cerned, if political favouritism prevailed through per-
sons in his department to the injury of the service,
it would be pretty nearly the same as though it
prevailed through the exercise of the influence of
the surveyor himself ?—lt appeared to me then, and it
appears to me now, that the only way of getting rid
of that favourismTand the influence of Government, is by
taking away the votes from the dockyards. There is no
other way. Without that is done it always must pre-
vail. _ _

When this was brought to your notice by the Secre-
tary of the Admiralty, did your grace authorise the. issue
of the circular of the 19th April, 1852, which cancelled
Sir Francis Baring's circular of 1849 ?—Well, I sane-

tioned it. I was Cognisant of it.
But did you authorise it; did you give directions to
the secretary to prepare the circular of the 19th April,

1852 ?--I did ma.

You did not ?—I did not. I was cognisant of it, but
I did not give those directions.
But before it was issued was your grace cognisant of
it ?—Before it was issued I was cognisant of it.
" I wish to know, did your grace approve of it ?—No ;
on every occasion when it was mentioned to me by Mr.
Stafford in his representations I objected to interfere. I
would not interfere because I had not sufficient experience,
but he afterwards represented to me that Mr. Parker's cir-
cular had been written by him, and that it was not a
minute of the board, and that he, as secretary, had the
same power as Mr. Parker had. Ile said, also, that he
,would do so on his own responsibility.
Did he bring in before your grace the original circular
of Mr.-Parker, to which he referred ?—No, he did not.
When he brought you the circular of the 19th of April,
1852, did your grace affix your signature or initials to it?

- - -
—He did not bring it. •
You'did not then see the circular which had been pre-
pared by Mr. Parker, so as to know whether or not Sir
Francis Baring's initials were affixed to it did not.
If it had been brought to your grace's notice, that the
circular of September, 1849, had affixed to it the initials
of the First Lord, should you have considered it neces-
sary to take some liirther coilisideration before allow-
ing that circular to go forth—the circular of Mr.
Stafford?—l can hardly answer what I might have done
under the circumstances. Sir Francis Baring's name
would not make it a legal document without the name of
another Lord of the Admiralty.

Then Sir Francis Baring's name being 'attached only
showed that it had the sanction of the First Lord?—
Yes.

But this circular, as I understand, went forward with-
out the sanction of any lord annexed to it ?—Without
the sanction of any lord annexed to it.
Now, on the 21st of April, a few days after this circu-
lar had been issued, Admiral Parker, in his examination,
stated to the committee that he had placed in your grace's
hands Sir Baldwin Walker's letter of resignation ?—I
have looked very carefully into that part of Admiral
Parker's evidence, and I find he is very uncertain about
his dates. I may mention at once that, until November,
when it was referred to in the House of Commons, I did
not know his letter of resignation had been sent in, or
had existed.
Admiral Parker, in his evidence, distinctly states that
he took Sir Baldwin Walker's letter, tendering his resig-
nation, to the Admiralty to the Duke of Northumber-
land on the same day. Has your grace any recollection
of that ?—None whatever. I have referred to all the dif-
ferent points in the evidence relating to Sir Baldwin
Walker's resignation, and Captain mikes evidence as to
Sir Baldwin Walker having mentioned that he wrote the
letter when Admiral Parker and Captain Milne were in
the room, and Captain Milne is asked when it was, and
says the 25th or 26th of April.
Then you have no recollection of Admiral Parker
having either given you the letter or having related to
you the purport of that letter ?—He never mentioned a
word of the letter. He may have indirectly or indiscri-
minately have discussed the purport of the letter, though
he never mentioned that there was a letter.

Do you remember when he discussed first the purport
of the letter ? On the 26th of April, which was the first
day I heard of the order being out, and the minute of
the 19th April was brought to my knowledge on Mon-
day, April 26, by Admiral Parker himself making the
complaint from Sir Baldwin Walker.
Captain Richards has brought to the notice of the com-
mittee a private letter written by Captain Pelham to
Captain Richards, the superintendent of Chatham dock-
yard, inquiring whether any political influences were at
work to hold back appointments for the promotion of
men in the service in Chatham yard ; now I wish to ask
your grace whether that inquiry was at all instituted by
your grace's command ?—By no means ; I never knew
of it.

In that letter Capt. Pelham, your private secretary,
states, " My chief is for the best man for the public ser.

vice, and scorns a job;" and he writes to Capt. Richards
respecting the appointment of a man to the metal mills
at Chatham by Mr. Stafford, the man being reported unfit
by Captain Richards ; and to this Captain Richards sent
a reply on the 24th April. Does your grace remember
whether that reply was brought under your notice ?—lt
was ; the first complaint was from Sir Baldwin Walker
early in April, and Captain Richards came to me on the
12th or 13th April.
Captain Richards, in his letter, says he requested an
interview in order to disabuse your grace's mind upon
the question. It would appear, therefore, from his let-
ter, that he asked for an interview after he had written
one letter, which it appears your grace granted. Now,
at that interview did Captain Richards bring under your
notice the case relating to Ridgway?—Yes, he did.
He showed how Ridgway had formerly applied to Sir
F. Baring for his intervention ?—Yes, he did.
And he entered fully into the case, and showed that
Ridgway had violated the spirit and words of the circu-
of 1847 ?—Yes.

And then Captain Richards stated that he was satis
fled with the interview with your grace, and that you
expressed to him your conviction that he was doing his
duty honestly and honourably ?—Yes, as a matter of
course, as an officer, I was perfectly convinced that he
was doing his duty, arid that he was right in not inter-
fering with matters of political influence. The words I
made use of to Captain Richards in parting were, " If
you ever have any interference in your duty, or if you
ever have any complaint to make, come to me, and you
may rely upon it I will support you."
If, then, any accusation was made against Captain
Richards that he interfered at all in politics, it would
have been a violation of the order, and I understand you
to say you quite acquit him of any such imputation ?
I never had a question about it, no such imputation ever
came to me. I only mention my belief in the character
of Captain Richards, but there never was a question.
In Captain Richards' reply to Captain Pelham, he
" begs and entreats that the case may be thoroughly
sifted." Now when this was brought to your grace's
notice at the interview, did you feel so satisfied, that you
considered no inquiry necessary ?—:1 knew nothing about
the letter. I was not cognisant of the letter. Captain
Richards had been to me to explain the matter in full,
and he said very naturally that he never was influenced,
as he was ordered not to take any part in politics.
Captain Richards' impression was that he had read
the letter to you ?—lt might have been, but I was not
aware of it. It might have been.
Capt. Richards in his evidence states that he asked your
grace if he might have permission to read the letter
from Mr. Stafford to him ?—He might have done so,
and it is very likely he did.
Did you hear from Mr. Stafford any ground for sup-
posing Captain Richards to be a political partisan I
At this moment I don't recollect any question, cer-
tainly, with respect to Captain*Richards.
Now, was your grace aware that Sir Frederick Smith
had applied for the promotion of Ridgway? —I never
heard one word about Sir Frederick Smith, or of any
election connected with any one of the dockyards, either
directly or indirectly.
On 26th April it appears you saw the Surveyor
of the Navy, and you had seen him previously to your
representing to the Secretary of the Admiralty the an-
noyance the surveyor felt in regard to the issue of the
former circular ?—lf I may explain, there is some little
indistinctness in the recollection of Admiral Parker
on that subject. It was on the morning of Monday,
26th of April, that Admiral Parker came to me to say
that the Surveyor of the Navy was very much annoyed.
and vexed at Mr. Stafford's cancelling the cir-
cular of 1849, that he considered it was a slur upon his
character, and Admiral Parker spoke very warmly and
justly on the subject, as he was an officer who felt any-
thing like a slur, and he also said that it would lower
him in the estimation of the superintendents and officers,
and he did not think that if the slur remained on the
surveyor's character that he would remain in his office.
I told Admiral Parker I was quite confident Mr. Staf-
ford never meant any disrespect to the surveyor, and
that I would send him into Admiral Parker s room,
where I understood the surveyor was, to remove any
impression from the surveyor's mind that such was the
case. It was an interview that lasted five or six minutes,
and it was very ardent on the part of Admiral Parker,
and very proper.
After the interview on the 26th of April was a circu-
lar submitted to your grace for approbation ?—I sent
for Mr. Stafford, and told him all the circumstances—
all that Admiral Parker had told me. I said it was
considered by the surveyor that this cancelling had cast
a stigma on the surveyor, and I am very much afraid he
will resign his office, and if he did resign his office, I
said, though you, Mr. Stafford, may treat it lightly, it
is a much more serious thing than you seem to think ;
for if the surveyor does resign his office, I am not pre-
pared to propose a successor ; he has done his duty and
good service, and I thought that good service should con-
tinue. Upon that, Mr. Stafford went to Admiral
I Par-
ker's room, where the whole of the circumstances, be-
lieve, took place about the minute that was agreed to..r
At the end of half an hour they came into my room, Sir
Baldwin Walker and Admiral Parker together. Sir
Baldwin Walker explained to me how very much he was
annoyed, and explained to me the matter very much in
the same words as before, that he felt the circular was a
censure on him, and which I of course felt a wish to re-
move. In a few minutes Mr. Stafford came in with a mi-
nute and read it to Sir Baldwin Walker and Admiral Par-
ker in my hearing. Sir Baldwin Walker, when it was read
said, " I am perfectly satisfied ; " and Mr. Stafford
answered that it should be read to the board as a mi-
nute' and they all went away. It does not quite agree
with the evidence already given, but that was the case.

[PRICE SD.

mitted to the board ?—lt had been read in my room to
the Surveyor of the Navy and Admiral Parker, and I
was present, and that was the first day that I heard of
the circular of the 19th of April having been issued. I
did not know when it was issued. I observe that in
Captain Milne's evidence it was brought to his notice,
by the surveyor also, and the surveyor's letter was read
in Admiral Parker's room to Admiial Parker. Captain
Milne does not quite fix on the date. He seems to
think it was on the 25th, 26th, or 27th of April.
Then are the committee to understand that this
was the first' time your grace gave your sanction
to the circular of the 19th April ?--I was cogni-
sant of it before it was issued, and I knew that
I was responsible for it ; but this was the first
time that it was brought before me, and thus we
knew it. It was a very nice point. I knew it. I fully
countenanced it, Admiral Parker fully countenanced it,
Captain Milne fully countenanced it, and we were aware
of it, and certainly were responsible for it from that very
moment. How far the other two members of the board
were answerable I don't know.

In the circular of April 26, 1852, it is stated that the
circular of February 27, 1847, will be strictly adhered
to, and that their lordships deemed it advisable to revert
to the system then in force of having all communications
addressed to the Admiralty in the first instance. As
your grace by this time sanctioned the reversal of a sys-
tem that had been a system at the Admiralty for some
years, may I ask your grace upon what grounds this
reversal was based ?—May I ask what the matte; is—
what we cancelled was reverting to Lord. Auckland's
original regulation for promotions in the dockyard,
which were these : The master shipwright on a vacancy
named three persons, and named them to the superin-
tendent, who erased one name which he thought the least
worthy of promotion. The superintendent then sent
these two names to the secretary, who selected one, and
that selection was the whole of the patronage the secre-
tary had in promotions. The circular of 1849 made
this alteration. The superintendent sent these two
names to the surveyor, and the surveyor selected one
name, and so had the patronage. The question of pa-
tronage was one known to Lord Auckland and his suc-
cessor. It was reverting tO Lord Auckland's regulation,
and my opinion now and then was that Lord Auckland
was right.
Does your grace mean that the surveyor had the ab-
solute choice of one name, or that when the two names
were sent to him he forwarded them to the Admiralty,
with his remarks I—l do not think he was justified by
the circular of 1849 in making the selection, but he
always did, it was a matter I never knew anything of,
and of which I was not cognisant. But, on reading at-
tentively the circular of 1849, I do not think it justified
the surveyor in taking the patronage.
The circular of 1849 merely, as I understand, ordered
that the correspondence from the superintendents should
go through the surveyor before it came to the Admi-
ralty l—So I understand.
After some further questions, and the examination of
Commodore Eden and Captain Ilamilton, the committee
adjourned to this day.
