India. Australia, China, and the adjacent regions, contain a popu-
lation •f more than half the number of the inhabitants of the
globe, and teens with every product which eon minister to the wants
of mait.
To carry out effectually and economically steam communication
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose ope-
rations there is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
oar numerous and valuable colonies in the Southern Pacific, which
have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.

The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is vik Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in 60), and within less than 20 days
of India. The coal statioas aro convenient, excellent coal from the
pits at Neweastle, New South Wales, can be pet on board there at
to 7s. 6d. per ton.

pany, wkere a copy of the Royal Charter of Incorporation may be

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 trim 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 when
used In moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific soiree of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on
he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the kaman frame,
than any other to which it Is subject.
This work contents as 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 imoortance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicieus habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequence.s, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and tke dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seelifig
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that acenrate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympethy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, Inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medico! man who can show by hi., posse Bien of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and tweet in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
ellarantee for his professional experisnee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
