This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is new presented to-
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of severalliew and highly in-
teresting cases. he b,sok, as has been already stared, is the
result of very ample and daily increasng experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overloAted, or treated almost with Indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regiilar surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, tho
authors, have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; cf the necessity of so
doing, they were further conv'ticed by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret ptitetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undititled attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersia
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source.
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in.
saying that there is ne'member of society by s hom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
Tho PARENT, Who beholds his beloved child pining •
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in cons,-
queues of soma disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, oa perusing this work, be, astonished to pnd,
that in nine-tenths of, the cases,,of youag perions of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habil s practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. •
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by. perusing this work, be directe4 and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and iltimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil.be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled te point out the ds-
istrous consequences which are sure te follow from them if not
relinquished.

LAUNCH OF THE HINDOSTAN
AND ILLUMINATION OF THE CALEDONIA.
PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 2.—The launch of the Ilindos-
tan, which .had been postponed with an intention to
gratify the members of the British Association, took
place this afternoon at fire minutes to five o'clock,- when
she went off in good style, without the least dip, after
being christened by Mrs. Ellice, the lady of the Major-
General, Commander of the district. The weather had
been unpropitious from the commencement of the day,
and it rained excessively during all the time of the
launch, notwithstanding which there were at least 4,000
persons round the ship, and a great number assembled
on the opposite hill at Cremill, in the various ships at
anchor in Hainoaze, and in boats. Great praise is due
to Admiral Stiperintendent Warren for his exertions
in accommodating theispectators, and for his especial at-
tention to afford every convenience to the members of the
British Association. Not an accident of any kind oc-
curred. The Impregnable, 120, was beautifully deco-
rated • with colours, and other vessels were similarly
adorned. The Hindustan is a 78 gun .ship, a two-
decker, has been thirteen years on the stocks, .is teak
built, and constructed in the old school, with a bluff
bow, adapted to rough weather. The following' are her
dimensions : . . In.
Length from the figure-head to the after-

part of the taffrair

At a quarter to-ten the same evening,-previous notice •
having been- ':given by Captain` "Taylor, paledonia,
120, was beautifully illuminated. A rocket was sent off
about half a minute before to fix the attention ;of the
spectators, .and she Was then siMultaneously lit Up'by her
crew in all parts of her hull and rigging With btue port-
fires, which continued burning about a minute. It had
.most surprising and agreeable effect, the rain having
ceased about half an hour before ; the sea was calm, and
the heights were studded with people, who were the
more gratified by the exhibition from having despaired
of seeing it, in consequence of an unexpected delay,
caused by the unpropitious state of the weather.

The following • disasters happened a' few' days
ago at the hamlet of Goville, near St. Wandrille (Seine
Inferieure). A farmer named Desjardins, was carrying
home a load of corn, when, by inadvertently going too
near some hives of bees, he overturned them, and so
enraged the swarms that they, in one mass, set upon him,
his man, and his horse, and left not an accessible spot in
either of their bodies unassailed by their stings. Fortu-
nately, a village doctress was at hand, and witnessed the
occurrence. With the utmost promptitude and judg-
ment she deluged M. Desjardins with. pailsful of water,
and while the insects were rendered inactive by the im-
mersion, she, with her hands, removed them all from his
body, picked out many that'had got into his nose, mouth,
and ears, and then, with a care most essential in such
cases, extracted all the stings she could find sticking in
his skin, and which amounted to 400, washing the ori-
fices with cold water. The man was'also severely. stung,
but not to such an extent as his master,- The, dcctress
having performed her part, the sufferers were taken in
hand by medical men, whose applications relieved them
from all absolute danger, but required time to produce a
perfect cure. The poor horse is said to have suffered
severely, but his ultimate fate is not mentioned. 'rho
misfortunes tf the day did not stop here. A girl of the
village was. sent in another cart to bring home the wife •
of Desjardins;who eras at some distance, and in the
haste of going she overturned the vehicle, broke her
own arm, and injured several other per Sons.
