Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which whet
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less Injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive if greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
♦ictim of excessive indulgence aid vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear or ap-
plyiag to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physicist*, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse,sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great extent of Isis practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost

THE BIRMINGHAM DEPUTATION
TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.
BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAT. -- According to an-
nounceinent, last night a public meeting was held at
the Town-hall, for the purpose of receiving the report
of the deputation appointed to wait upon Lord John
Russell, at a meeting held on Friday, the 22d ult.
The attendance at the commencement of the proceed-
ings was not numerous, but subsequently it consider-
ably increased. Amongst the gentlement present
were Mr. W. Scholefield, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M.P.,
Muntz, M.P., Mr. T. C. Salt, Mr. Taunton, Mr.
Mason, Mr. Harlow, Mr. T. B. Wright, Mr. Blunt,
Mr. Alderman Wilson, Mr. Jennens, Mr. Sturland,
and many other persons entertaining views favourable
to those propounded in the memorial presented to the
First Lord of the Treasury.
On the motion of Mr. SALT, seconded by Mr.
TAUNTON, Mr. Alderman 'Wilson was called upon to
preside.
The CHAIRMAN, after reading the advertisement
by which the meeting was convened, observed that
most, if not all, present would recollect that a
fortnight ago a meeting was held in that hall, and
upon that important occasion a memorial to Lord
John Russell was agreed upon with respect to the
commercial distresses of the country. Since then
they all knew what had occurred. A relaxation, as
it was termed, of the monetary system, upon the re-
commendation of Lord John Russell and the Chan-
cellor'of the Exchequer, had taken place; a high rate
of interest had been established; and the measure
thus adopted had been the means of throwing out of
employment some hundreds, if not thousands, who
were dependent upon labour for their daily mainte-
nance.—(Hear, hear.) They had to hear the result of
the interview with Lord John Russell, and he first
called upon Mr. William Scholefield to address them.
Mr. W. SCHOLEFIELD, M.P., was received with
loud cheers. He commenced by observing that it be-
came his first duty to report to them the interview
which the deputation had had with Lord John Rus-
sell. He did not know whether any of them had ever
had any personal knowledge of interviews with Mi-
nisters of the Crown ; he had frequently been a mem-
ber of such deputations, and he might state to them
as a fact that the result generally reminded him of the
passage—
" The King of France, with fifty thousand men,
Marched up the hill, and then—marched down again."
(Cheers and laughter.) Now, they were received
with great courtesy, politeness, and attention by
Lord John Russell—nothing, so far as personal
urbanity went, could be more satisfactory ; and then
they were as politely and courteously bowed out.—
(Laughter.) And that was all he (as a member of
the deputation) had to say about it.—(Cheers and
laughter.) He (Mr. Scholefield) did not complain of
this conduct on the 'part of Lord J. Russell. He
knew the numerous official duties to which the Noble
Lord had to attend; but this he (Mr. Scholefield)
would say—that no deputation ever appointed—and
accompanied many—had ever more deter-
minedlysatisfactorily discharged the special
hehad
and
duties which they were delegated to perform. They
told Lord J. Russell that he and his colleagues were
not possessed of true information as to the real con-
dition of the country—they told him that the recent
recommendations with regard to the relaxation
of the Bank Charter were not sufficient to restore
public confidence—they told him that the conse-
quences of such a measure, without further relax-
ation, would be ruinous to the working classes—they
told him that although it was possible that such a
rate of interest (8 per cent.) might be paid for present
liabilities, few upon such terms would engage in new
transactions—and that if such were the consequences,
they asked what was to become of those who upon
trade and labour depended for their daily bread.—
(Cheers.) They also told Lord John (he believed
Mr. Spooner urged the argument), that the fixing of
8 per cent. would lead to a general rate of interest to
that amount throughout all the country, and the
withdrawal of all other securities, except as regarded
interest equal to that value.—(Hear, hear.) But it
was likewise pointed out, by Mr. Mason, that the
distresses of the country were caused, not by natural,
but by artificial causes. That gentleman informed
the Minister that they had recently had to rejoice in
a bountiful harvest—that the price of corn was low—
they (the merchants of Birmingham), as he (Mr.
Scholefield) knew, received an abundance of orders—
but that, netwithstanding all those blessings and ad-
vantages, their trade and condition were daily becom-
ing more ruinous.—(Hear, hear.) They next alluded
to the dependence which Ministers placed upon irre-
sponsible advisers ; they did not mention the name,
they alluded when they made this complaint to Mr.
Jones Loyd.—(Hear, hear.) The deputation did not
for a moment wish to allude to that gentleman with
any disrespect; but they said that his experience
merely as a City banker was not sufficient to justify
any alterations of the currency which he might sug-
gest to the Government.—(Cheers.) The deputation
concluded by requiring a close and rigid inquiry into
the monetary system of the country, with a view to
its being placed upon a good and sound foundation
for ever.— (Cheers.) He could not recollect what
Lord John Russell said, except upon one point. It
had been stated that in reply to the Liverpool deputa-
tion, he (the Noble Lord) had said that " he could
not hold out any hope whatever." Now, the fact
was that the deputation, on leaving him, stated that
they would call upon him next day, when he replied,,
with regard to the promised visit, that as to that (the
next day) he could hold out no hope. That
was all he said, and he (Mr. Scholefield) conceived it
to be an important correction. In conclusion,
he (Mr. Scholefield) begged to say, that he believed
the deputation had done their duty ; and, moreover,
he believed that every day would increase the diffi-
culties of tho country, until they insisted upon, and
obtained, a searching inquiry into the present mone-
tary system. He would only refer, and that very
shortly, to an article which appeared in that morn-
ing's Times, in regard to the interview of the der
putation with Lord John Russell. The Times said
that they plainly saw that the object of the Birming-
ham deputation was the payment of only 15s. in the
pound. Now, all they (the Birmingham deputation)
wanted was, to pay 20s. in the pound, and not 30s. or
405., as they were compelled to do by the money laws
now in force. (Mr. Scholefield resumed his seat
amidst loud cheers.)
Mr. SALT commenced by complimenting his col-
leagues of the deputation to the Prime Minister, espe-
cially Mr. Mason, who, as the man of the people,
had shown to Lord John Russell that the people were
in earnest. For himself (he said), he had only added
a little spice, as sauce to the dish. They had shown
to the Minister that they relied on their own strength,
and they had told him that if he left the masses of the
people to all the horrors which would speedily over-
take them, the responsibility must rest upon him.
They had put themselves at the head of the people ;
and if the people only stood by them, no Government
should exist that would not exert itself to secure
the happiness and prosperity of the whole community.
For himself, he had retired from politics long since ;
but when he saw that the people were about to be
crushed, he was with them again, full of heart and
hope. A state of things was going on that was pro-
ducing misery amongst all classes of society, and
lacerating the human heart. He was determined,
therefore, not to stand idly by.—(Hear.) Old as' he
trusted it would in them, and that they would' again
