PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE,
CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Horning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and seeresy they have hitkert• ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use •f mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gouorrtmea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are treated upon these unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, asid which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.

AS Manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
. tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra-
pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and suns of life, creating
image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of
society, pure mad virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob-
structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity Impels to a course
of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only
palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose
to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the
pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge
ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore
to its wonted energy every' relaxation of the generative economy,
whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood
shall have become impaired; equally contemning unfeeling empy-
ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should re-
store; and, on the other hand, that unworthy '‘ rainc'ide" whose
proud selfishness increases the embarrassment ofthe afflicted All
classes of society, the Angla-Indiati par icularly, and those whose
constitutions are enfeebled by the effects of a tropical climate, as
well as such as are about to enter intmatrimonial life, are included
in the limits of this address, and to alt we confidently offer the
result of many years' successful practice.
Daily attendance is given for personal con?ultat oni and immediate
answers are returned to country 'letters which must minutely de-
scribe the ease, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine,
which can be forwarded to any part of the world however distant.—
No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine will ibe securely packed, and
carefully protected from observation.

THE WEATHER.—The frost to-day is its less
sharp than it was yesterday. In the fireless room adjoining
that in which we are now chroni:ling the cold weather, the
glass is down to 20 riegrees. Yesterday morning at four
o'clock, the thermometer in the Zoological Gardens, Re-
gent's-purk, stood 5 degrees Fahrenheit, or 27 degrees
below the freezing point. SO 'Sibe_rian a winter has not
been seen in this country within the last twenty years. a,-;
within this period the thermometer has never been known
to average so low. At Hackney, yesterday mornin.4, at
seven o'clock, it was 11 degrees, and nine o'clock. 10 de-
grees, and at noon 14 degrees, Fahrenheit, there being
little wind, which veered slightly to the north-cast. There
was a heavy hoar frost, and the atmosphere was highly hy-
grometric. The Regent's Canal was frozen over so as to
prevent any traffic, and the inhabitants of the eastern parts
of the metropolis in many hundreds indulged themselves in
sliding and skating on its branches, as well as on the New.
cut of the River Lea. A dense fog set in early in the
morning and continued throughout the day, the principal
part of the shops and counting-houses of the city being
lighted up after noon The traffic through the streets con-
tinues very trying to horses, although but few accidents
occurred yesterday. The Parks were well attended by
skaters, and the ice remains firm ; and, thanks to the Royal
Humane Society's exertions, no accidents of importance
happened. It is, however, a strong matter of complaint
that whilst the chances of accidents at these parts are so
thoroughly guarded against, that spots at the eastern parts
of town, where thousands of the inhabitants aro daily en-
gaged in recreative and healthy amusements on the ice, are
entirely neglected by the Society. The reports of sick-
ness in the Metropolitan and City Police Forces were yes-
terday above the usual average.—(From our Evening
Edition of Saturday.)
CANTERBURY LIONS.—WONDERFUL 13IRTH
/LT WOMBWELL'S MENAGERILL-The noble British lioness li
on Sunday evening last gave birth to five remarkably tine
cubs, in Wombwell's menagerie, now open for inspection
in the Cattle-market, in Canterbury. There are two fe-
males and three males, and all in perfect health. Such
an occurrence as the bringing forth of fire young ones is
unprecedented, four being the greatest number ever before
recorded as being produced at one birth. We urge our
fellow-citizens to lose no time in viewing them whilst they
are young. The keeper who puts the other tigers, leo-
pards, &c., through their wonderful and almost incredible
performances in the adjoining den, has the superinten-
dence of the young family, whom ha treats with all the
care and assiduity of a tender nurse. Mr. Wombwell is
the greatest lion breeder in the world. He has bred up-
wards of 120 of those aninisis within the last 25 years.
The lioness is a very fine one ; she was cubbed in the
town of Kcigbley, in the county of York, on the 17th
of December, 1833, and has within four years pro-
duced no less than 16 lions and lionesses :—the first litter
in the city of Cambridge, on the 28th November, 1836 ;
the second at Stourbridge, in the county of Worcester,
August, 1838; the third at Nottingham, on the 6th Oc-
tobcr, 1839 ; and lastly, in this city. Thirteen of
praduce are now living—eleven are to be seen in the
' menagerie. and the other two are in the Zoological
i dens ,in 3,lanchester.—Kentish Observer.

The ice, which had accumulated in such large quanti-
' ties, and seriously obstructed the navigation last ,teck,
was completely dissolved by the thaw and the rain which
fell on Friday night and Sunday morning, end notwith-
standing the intense frost of the last five days the river was
very clear of ice until yesterday morning, when, owing to
the severity of the cold on the two preceding days ATI,'
nights, the ice again appeared in large quantities. The
ebb tide of Thursday afternoon brought large quantities
down the river, from Fulham and Chelsea, which in.
creased to such an extent yesterday morning that a great
number of vessels and barges above and below bridge
were ice-locked, and unable to move. At eleven o'clock
the ice was so thick all along the Lambeth shore, from
Westminster-bridge, that it was found impossible to bring
any lighters or boats to and from the wharfs, while the
pier at Lambeth Palace-stairs was blocked up, and could
cot be approached. At this time the wind was blowing
from the S. E., and a good deal of ice was blown over
towards the north shore, below bridge, which caused A
complete stoppage of the navigation iuside the tiers, from
Irougate-stairs at the east end of the Tower to the west
end of the Custom. House-quay. Several vessels, barge=.
and boats coming up with the tide were terribly damaged
by the ice driving them against each other alongside the
Tower-wharf, and after a great scene of confusion, the
crashing of ice against the sides of the craft, and the de-
struction of several boats, a few vessels and barges got out
into the stream, while others brought up and remained im-
bedded in the ice. In the neighbourhood of Shadwell.
Ratcliff, and Limehouse, where the collier tiers are moored,
the ice-bergs had amassed to such an extent, and become
frozen together during the night, as to suspend nearly all
the business of discharging coals into tho barges, as few
could get among the shipping.
The ice on the river is much thicker and harder than it
was last week, and has already done much damage t..) the
craft. It came up in large quantities with the flood tide,
breaking, and creaking against the bridges and piles, to re-
turn with the ebb, when more was brought down from the
up country. At eight o'clock last night the ice between
Londe n-bridge and Blackfriars was very thick. The whole
surface of the river was covered with it, and thefrost would
increase it hourly.

The general suspension of business on the river, along
shore, and in the docks, has caused the greatest distress
among the %%corking population. Many thousands have
been thrown out of employment, and are suffering very
severely from the inclemency of the weather, and the
want of fuel, food, and clothing. The privations of the
English and Irish labourers in Lower Aldgate, St.
George in the East, Shadwell, Wapping, and other water-
side parishes, is very great. Our reporter visited man,
wretched tenements. in the neighbourhood of Upper Esst
Smithfield, and St. George's yes! erday, where a number
of poor fellows and their families were seen huddled toge
ther without fire, with little food, and their beds and
every article on which they could raise money, pawned.
The distress existing in the eastern and south-eastern part
of the metropolis is well known, but little has been done
to alleviate it, and there arc no Ward Inquests and Com-
mon Councilmen in those places who bestir themselves
(as in the city) to collect subscriptions for the poor. The
London Dock Company, ever foremost in a work of bene-
volence, have distributed large quantities of nutritious
soup and bread among their unemployed labourers, as.d
the example is worthy of being followed by other mer-
cantile companies.
A frightful accident occurred on Thursday afternoon, off
Fic,:de Herring-stairs, Horselydown. A blily-boy (one-
masted Yorkshire vessel) was driving up the stream amidst
large masses of ice, with a boat hanging astern, when a lad
belonging to the vessel, fearing the boat would be crushed
by the ice jamming it against a barge as the billy-boy went
alongside, got into the boat to shove it clear. The vessel,
however, came upon the side of the boat, which was driven
against the barge, when the captain of another vessel along-
side, seeing the boy in danger. jumped on to the barge,
and put his arm out towards bins to save him, when unfo,
tunately the billy boy came to, and jammed his arm be.
tween that and the barge. The boy's head was also dread-
fully cut, and he was so much injured that it was found ne-
cessary to convey him to Guy's Hospital, where ho now
lies with little or no hopes of recovery. The captain was
taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where his arm was am-
putated.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MID-

,
LAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.

BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY NlGHT.—lntelligence w:s
re-
ceived in the course of to-day of a serious and fatal acci-
dent which occurred on the Midland Counties Railway be-
tween 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. I learn from the
most authentic sources that a down luggage train left
Rugby for Derby at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock last night ;
but, owing to the severily of the Weather, between Lci.
cester and Derby the engine pipes were frozen up, and the
train consequently unable to proceed. It is said that when
the stoppage took place asfltsal lam? has placed in the rear
of the train ; but be that as it may, the precaution, it' adopt-
ed, appears unfortunately to have proved of no avail. The
mail-train from London started from Rugby to Derby (the
point at which it leaves the Birmingham line) at I o'clock,
p.m., being then 3 hours and 40 minutes behind the goods,
train. The distance between Rugby and Derby is between
forty and fifty miles. Notwithstanding the advance of the
luggage train, and the precaution said to have been taken
of holding out a signal light when within a few miles of
Derby, the mail down train ran in upon the luggage car-
riages, and the consequence was that the engine of the
mail train was thrown off the trarne, and the engine driver
and stoker precipitated on to the line, and both killed on
the spot.
These statements will, I believe, be found to be a cor-
rect outline of the details of this distressing affair. There
are, however, two points which appear extraordinary, and
will require explanation. The night was extremely clear
and bright; and it is natural to suppose that even in the
absence of a signal light, the unfortunate deceased might
have noticed the luggage train, then stationary, before
they unhappily came in contact with the train which caused
their death.

Again, it appears strange, seeing the advanced position
of the luggage train, that its conductors, instead of holding
out a mere signal, did not despatch messengers to apprise
the mail train, which they knew must be upon them, of
the impediment which was in their way.
