The Work which .is;;;presei itei I to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a el ass of diseases and affec-
hens, which for some unaccountable reason liave been either ,
altogether overlooked, or treated wit h apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the oh dinary practitic ner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, soe ial, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from inctai gence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in au advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying-ti sat there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not.: be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to b ald the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.

GREAT YARMOUTH, NORFOLK.

LAYING OF THE FIRST STONE OF THE
VICTORIA BUILDINGS.
We have this week to commemorate an event of the deepest
interest to the town of Yarmouth and the counties of Norfolk
and Suffolk. Our readers nell remember that for some little
time past many of the most influential gentlemen in the town
have been actively engaged in forming a Company (founded on
the principle of limited re possibility) for the erection of an
hotel and dwelling-houses fit for the reception of families of the
highest distinction, and upon a plan which, when carried out,
will form a town of a new and most handsome kind. The ex-
ertions of the Directors have been so zealously responded to
that Monday last was the day fixed for the laying the first
stone of a superb hotel and limited number cf houses.
The Mayor was requested to lay the first stone, and, at his
request, the lodge of free and accepted Masons agreed to as-
sist him in this most interesting ceremony. The activity of
our gallant townsman, Capt. Harmer, the master of the lodge,
is beyond all praise, and the admirable manner in which the
precession was arranged end conducted, must have been most
gratifying to that fentleman. The lodge was opened at the
Royal Hotel, and at that place joined the Mayor in proces•
sion, preceded by the Corporation band and regalia, to the site
of the proposed buildings. The immense concourse assem-
bled (comprising all the leading families in the town) showed
how deep was the interest taken, and the beauty of the day,
the loveliness of the scene, and the feelings of joy which were
exhibited in the faces of the thousands who attended, ren-
dered this one of the most pleasing and gratifying sights that
Yarmouth ever afforded.
Captain .Harmer, Worshipful Master of the Lodge of United
Friends, addressed, the vast assembly nearly as follOws: e--
"At the Bequest of the Directors of the VicteWilitTding
--Gssespett:ei;lttoisetthete tree-eitibied us-Mesons to a sist our`ivt'artbr'
brother, who now occupies the civic chair of this borough, to
lay the foundation stone of this important and interesting work
—important and interesting indeed to Yarmouth. May the
work prosper, and, from the foundation about to be laid, may
structures arise ornamental to the town, beneficial to its in-
habitants, and advantageous to the builders. May the pro-
moters of these buildings live to see their great and spirited
design carried out, and when it shall please the Grand Leveller
of human greatness to call them from hence, may they arrive
at that point or centre where the world's Great Architect lives
and reigns for ever."
RICHARD
.FERRIER, Esq., P.M.—So may it Le.
The MAYOR then proceeded to deposit two coins of her pre-
sent ,Majesty in the stone, over which a brass plate was laid
bearing the following inscription :
" The first stone of Kimberley-terrace, Great Yarmouth, to
be erected by the Victoria Building Company, was laid by
Samuel Palmer, Esq., Mayor of Great Yarmouth, on the
22d day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and forty-one, and in the fourth year of the
reign of Queen Victoria. William Steward, Esq., Chairman
of the Board of Directors—Thomas Marsh Nelson, Esq.,
architect."
A handsome silver trowel having been presented to the
Mayor by the architect, his Worship proceeded to lay the
atone, which, with the assistance of the masons, he adjusted,
plumbed, and squared—and the emblems of plenty, corn,
wine, and oil, having been severally offered to the Mayor,
were by him poured upon the stone, when he handed to the
architect the plans of the building, which he begged to re-
store. He highly approved that specimen of genius, and hoped
he would live to carry out his plan. To the Directors he
returned thanks for the high compliment they had paid him
in calling on him to lay the first stone of the Victoria Building.
He thought it one of the most important events that could
happen to the town, and when this great undertaking should
be carried out, which he hoped would not be long, theyeeould
find not only that the town was greatly improved, but employ-
ment would be provided for the poet- and the counties of
Norfolk and Suffolk would be benefited for a long series of
years by many large and influential faMilies resorting hither,
who had hitherto been prevented coming to the town for want
of room and adequate accommodation. To the Gentlemen of
the Victoria Building Company he wished health, happiness,
and prosperity.
W. STEWARD Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors, though far advanced in years, and suffering from his grow-
ing infirmities, was present on the greund. He begged to pro-
pose a vote cithanks to the Mayor for the honour he had done
the Shareholders of the Victoria Building Company in laying
the first stone of the building now about to be erected, and
which, when completed, he trusted would be of considerable
benefit to the town of Yarmouth.
B. Dow sox, Esq., felt on the present occasion that he bad
incurred the deepest responsibility in having accepted the ho-
nour of being one of the Directors. He rejoiced to see the
first stone laid, and he should anxiously desire to see a town
built.—(Herr, hear, and cheers.) He hoped they would be
assisted by the town and by the county—he had almost said by
the kingdom. Let them manifest zeal and unanimity, and he
did not doubt but they would see a large and magnificent town.
The Mayor acknowledged the compliment paid him by Mr.
Steward, when the procession again formed and returned to
the Royal Hotel, where our kind host and hostess had provided
an abundant and excellent

• DINNER,
of which about sixty gentlemen connected with or interested
in the New Company partook.
George D. Palmer, Esq., was in the chair, suprorted on
the right by the Right Worshipful the Mayor, and on the 'left
by Sir E. H. K. Lacon, Bart., while we also observed John"
C. Penrice, lit.. La-
con, Esq., Charles SYmonds, 'Esq., 0-eOitM7m • s
A. J. Tompson, Esq., W. S. Ferrier, Esq., W. D. Palmer,
Esq., Samuel Jay, Esq., Captain Harmer, R.N., Capt. Baines,
Captain Annesley, R.N., T. F. Steward, Esq., J. C. Smith,
Esq., A. Woods, Esq., C. J. Palmer, Esq., W. Worship, Esq.,
R. Heart, Esq., J. E. Laws, Esq., and many others. Richard
Ferrier, Esq., was Vice-President.
The cloth having been removed, the fullowing toasts were
drunk--" Th..s Queen"—" Prince Albert"— " The Queen
Dowager"-:-. 'fho Duke of Sussex, and the rest of the Rceyal
Family"—" Lord Hill and the Armr —" England's pride and
the world's envy, the British Navy. '
The last toast was replied to by Captain ANNESLEY, R.N.,
whose health had been coupled therewith. He was sure the
British navy would always show themselves, what they had
always been, the nation's glory and the w' rid's envy.
" Lord elbourne and her Majesty's Ministers." " The
greatest hero of the age, the Duke of Wellington." " The
Lord Lieutenant of the County." " The High Sheriff of the
County." " The High Steward of the Borough." " The
Bishop of Norwich and the Clergy of the Diocese, with the
health of the Rev. Charles Penrice."
The Rev. CHARLES PENRICE returned thanks. They were
met for the promotion of an object which he believed to be ex-
ceedingly important to Yarmouth, and most sincerely wished
the Company success.
" The Members for the County." " The Members for the
Town."
Sir E. H. K. LACON, Bart., having the permission of the
chair to propose a toast, would give the health of a gentleman
holding the must important station in the town, and who had
laid the foundation of a building which he hoped would add
much to the prosperity of the town, "the health of the Mayor,"
with three times three.
The MAYOR arose amidst much cheering. In thanking
them, he could but regard the present as the proudest day in
his short life. He had ju-t performed a duty, than which he
believed no gentleman in Yarmouth had performed one more
important. Yarmouth, as they well knew, had long stood as
one of the first mercantile and fishing ports in the kingdom.
In those two things she had excelled, and in those only ; but
now they were about to provide accommodation for the aris-
tocracy of Norfolk and Suffolk ; and he believed that when the
undertaking that day commenced should be consummated, the
town of Yarmouth would then flourish, not only as a fishing
or mercantile town, but as one offering every accommodation
superior to any other on this coast. The Mayor concluded by
proposing " the health of John Penrice, Esq., and the promo-
ters of the Victoria Building Company," with three times three.
JOHN PENRICE, Esq., rose amidst continued cheering. He
had been nominated a Trustee to the Company, which office he
accepted. He had contemplated being a shareholder, but the
magnitude of the whole scheme had alarmed and frightened
him ; but the plan the Committee had adopted and were pur-
suing had removed his fears, and he should be most happy to
join with them.—(Muck applause.) He had ever lifted his
voice for the benefit orthe town, and he would take his few
shares among the rest.—(Cheers.) As a Trustee,:he would
look to it that they did not fool away the money. Mr. Wor-
ship said "bravo," and so would he, for he believed what they
were now doing was for the benefit of the town, and they
should not find him backward in taking shares. As a Trustee,
he should keep his eye over them, and would take care they
should always have enough. He would give the health of a
gentleman whom he had known from infancy, with whom he
regretted that any difference should ever have arisen, but
which difference was now entirely, and he hoped for ever, re-
moved. He regretted that his personal appearance betokened
declining strength; but he would propose the " health of
William Steward, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors," with three times three.
The CHAIRMAN thought he should be deficient in his duty
were he to allow the toast to pass without testifying his respect
to Mr. Steward—a respect he felt only in common with every
inhabitant of the town. He had been a public benefactor,
and the building lately erected in the neighbourhood of his
friend Mr. Penrice would stand a monument to the memory of
Mr. Wm. Steward.
Mr. PeNeict had felt so satisfied with what had been done,
he had renewed his subscription to the hospital.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN rejoiced to hear what had fallen from Mr.
Penrice. Tue hospital would hand down the name of Mr.
Steward to posterity, as an individual who had done all he
could to benefit the town. The hospital benefited not merely
the town or the county, but the whole kingdom, by the prompt
assistance rendered to the numerous cases cf accidents that are
brought there from our roads.
T. F. STEWARD, Esq. (a nephew of Win. Steward, Esq.)
in returning thanks on behalf of his excellent uncle, regretted
the physical inability which alone had prevented his being pre-
sent at the dinner.
The CHAIRMAN rase to propose the health of a gentleman,
to whom the town of Yarmouth was deeply indebted—the firm
to which that gentleman belonged were even engaged in an
undertaking (boring for water) which must benefit the town.
He gave " The health of Sir E. H. K. Lacon, Bart."
Sir E. H. K. LACON returned thanks. The Chairman had
said, the firm with which he was connected was anxious for the
prosperity c f the town. Nothing gave them greater pleasure.
His brother and himself had taken shares in the Victoria
Building Company, not for the mere sake of making a profit-
able investment, which it is hoped it would be, but so satisfied
were they of the benefit that would be conferred upon the
town by the present undertaking, that they would have given
it all the suppoit they could, had tfiere been no prospect of a
return. Alluaion had been made to what was going on at the
Brewery ; they had incurred considerable expense, but if they
succeeded, they would rejoice to be able to supply the whole
town. He concluded by giving " The health of the Chairman,"
with three times three.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. He hailed the proceed-
ings of this day as the omen cf prosperity to Yarmouth,. which
had hitherto been far behind all other towns in improvement.
—( Hear.) Nature had done much for Yarmouth, and their
regret must be that art had done sc, little ; however, he
felt, that Yarmouth was arousing herself from her lethargy to
assume her proper position. Few places presented naturally
the attractions as a watering-place which Yarmouth presented,
and they had only to erect suitable accommodation for the
aristocracy of the county to induce them to resort hither.

possible, for the Cockneys would come in such shoals, that the
present buildings would be a mere bagatelle. Ile hoped the
present was but the commencement, which would ultimately
lead as far as Caistor, and that many then present would see
those anticipations realised. He gave the health "of the
Minister of the parish, the Hon. and Rev. Edw. Fellow."
