The Work which is now resented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tn,i,s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difftrenee, by the a dinary practitioner. lo enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We, have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMA

MR. PLUMER WARD'S NEW NOVEL.—
Among the numerous portraits, evidently drawn from the
life, which figure in the pages of Mr. Ward's new novel
of " De Clifford" we meet with several that will un-
doubtedly subject the author to the charge (how justly or
otherwise he aloce can say) of having satirized and casti-
gated not merely political crimes but the criminals them-
selves—a charge to which he may reply that he has at
least made up for the severity by his likenesses of some of
those 'statesmen of his own time, whom he seems especi-
ally to admire. Lord Castleton is a beautiful portrait of
a politician and Prime Minister, comme it y'en a pea.
Among the sketches of a mixed character that of the Mar-
quis of Rochfort is one of the most finished of all Mr.
Ward's delineations. The original of this capital portrait
will at once be recognised. Bet the sketches that will
attract most general attervien and curiosity are those of
the aristocratic ruffian, Lord Albany, the periodical critic,
Sourkrout, the " liberal" editor of a weekly journal, Mr.
Peter Paragraph, the popular lecturer and incendiary,
Dr. Firebrass,
.&c. The publisher should furnish (if be
can) a key to tie numerous eharaetne in this highly enter-
taining production.
The Proprietors of Fulham-bridge are at length
about to follow up the improvements in the navigation of
the river commenced by the City with the removal of the
Old Lendon-bridge. The demands of the public for the
removal of these dangerous obstructions to the free n
gation of the noble river of Thames will be met in the
spirit that has already accomplished the rebuilding of Lon-
don-bridge. A plan gas, we understand, been prepared
under the direcien of the Bridge Proprietors, giving two
additional arches each cf forty-feet span. The plan has
already been submitted to and approved by the City Com-
mittee, who intend to make a further improvement by
dredging away the shoals near the bridge. The work is to
be immediately commenced, and one arch will be com-
pleted during the present summer.
A Lusus NATUR/E.-011 Friday the wife of
a weaver named George, who resides in Rose-lane, So_
talfields, was delivered of a male child, which bas excited
the greatest curiosity. The child is a mere trunk, without
arms or thighs, but is in exceedingly good health and
likely in the opinion df the medical, attendant to do well,
performing the offices of nature perfectly.. The trunk ap.
pears as if nature never iutende4lo give thighs or arms in
this instance,
