titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and juitice demand that health shisuld ferns as item

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 when
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
,ho nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to tko human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatemy 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 Fhollid
he possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
In early life or from the tames Cr ita,ao,ca at, -rrhilo ettinoring
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shane and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
;or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ho
forgets that accurate discrinlinatiem n ascertaining the canes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by Lila possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that lie 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
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to tko treatment of these diseases.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
M. HECTOR BERL lOZ'S CONCERT.
Last night M. Hector Berlioz, the celebrated com-
poser, and who has been conductor of the music at
this theatre, had his " first grand vocal and instru-
mental concert," and he gave to an English audience
three acts of music all of his own composition. His
vocalists were of the first class. Miss Miran and
Madame Dorus Gras ; Mr. Reeves, Mr. Gregg, and
Mr. 'Weiss. The orchestra and horus consisted of
nearly, 300 performers, and the house was crammed
to hear the performance. The first part was a beau-
tiful and descriptive series of musical scenes, Harold
(we presume the " Childe") being the hero, and
passing through Italy amidst varied strains exqui-
sitely expressing the alternations of " melancholy,
happiness, and joy." Miss Miran sang " The
Young epherd" with the utmost taste and finish,
her fine voice being supported by the band with
remarkable effect ; the " March of the Pilgrims,"
the "Mountaineer of the Abruzzi," " Serenade," " Sou -
venirs," and. " Revel of Brigands," being rendered
with the utmost skill and sustained effect by the
orchestra and chorus. In the second part we had
selections from M. Berlioz's hitherto unrepresented
opera of Faust, and perhaps few performances have
been more perfect than was this act taken as a whole.
Mr. Reeves sang the recitative and the short snatches
of music assigned to him with an effect which fully
maintains his previous reputation, whilst Mr. Gregg
gave the song of " The Student" and the other music
very delightfully. Mr. Weiss poured forth the full
tide of his glorious and well-controlled voice with
remarkable effect, and must have pleased the com-
poser as much as his auditory. Mr. Weiss has no
competitor on the stage, for his voice, though so fine
a bass, has no harshness, and is as well modu-
lated as though it were an instrument to be
played on by the finger; and then his know-
ledge as a musician is so complete as to make
him the favourite he is so deservedly. The
whole of the opening of this act, especially the
Dance of Peasants," and the " Hungarian March,"
are masterly compositions, and accurately and
delightfully rendered, meriting the encore they
received, alike from those who appreciated the science
and those who were charmed with the melodies. The
" Chorus and Dance of Sylphs " was a glorious bit,
not surpassed by anything in 'Weber's Oberon, full
of fine fancies and delicate passages—such as Ariel
might have sung, and Titania have listened to—
poetical, harmonious, perfect. The instrumentation
was a triumph to the author, and wonderfully wrought
out by the orchestra. Part Third brought Madame
Dorus Gras before the audience. She sang a cavatina
from the opera of Benvenuto Cellini, with her usual
grace, sweetness, and execution. There is not in the
whole range of musical composition a more difficult
piece than this, and yet with English words and all
its mazes of artistic trial, Madame Dorus Gras com-
pleted her task most admirably. The tone, the dis-
tinctness, and the finish which mark the perfect
artiste were all there, and all were compelled to award
" their warmest smile to the child of song."
The evening's entertainments wound up with A
" funelal oration (qv, ovation?) and apotheosis to the
victims of July, 1830, in Paris." It was composed
by Berlioz, to be played in the open air, but was
subdued by the skilful orchestra and "discoursed
most exquisite music" as a finale. It is a fine com-
position assuredly, but M. 11. Berlioes art lies in
more subdued instrumentation ; he may not have the
fulness of melody which is so much in the composi-
tion of thorough musicians ; but effect, expression,
passion, feeling, vigour, and grandeur he has in full
force and great power of display, and we trust that
the taste of the town will encourage a repetition of
such efforts, when we have first class music illustrated
by first class singers, and an orchestra of such supe-
riority and skill. As a performance principally in-
strumental, it is impossible to surpass it Low, if it
has ever been surpassed in our or any time.

FRENCH PLAYS.-ST. JAMES'S
THEATRE.

Mademoiselle Nathalie made her first appearance
this season last night in a new vaudeville entitled
is Vicomtesse Lolotte. The scene is laid in the Court
of Louis XV., (and the Viscomtesse, delightfully
acted by Mademoiselle Nathalie, has been a modiste,
whose wit and beauty have attracted the atteution of
a young nobleman who eventually makes her his
wife. His mother is scandalised at such a mesalliance
and endeavours per fas et nefas to set the marriage
aside. She has another torment in the shape of the
Chevalier Taucrede (capitally acted by Montaland),
a swearing, rattling, bustling, proud, and excessively
poor Gaseon, whom she utterly despises, but who con-
stantly annoys her. The unfortunate old lady is
completely out-manoeuvred. The king takes the part
of the pretty modiste, who from that moment becomes
the fashion, and to complete the confusion of the dow-
ager, his Majesty discovers that she herself has in her
youth been guilty of an indiscretion, the fruit of which
has been the Chevalier Tanerede.

These performances were last evening honoured by
the attendance of Prince Louis Napoleon, the Rus-
sian Ambassador, the Baroness Brunnew and Made-
moiselle Olga de Lechner, the Austrian Ambassador
and the Countess Dietrichstein, the Marchioness of
Ailesbury, Lady Augusta Cadogan, Lady Drumlan-
rigg, the Count and Countess de Jarnac, the Hon.
Miss Foley, the Count de Noailles, the Count de
Bearne, Lord and Lady Holland, Sir John H.
Lowther, Sir John and Messrs. Burgoyne, Count
Augoin, Sir Ralph and Lady Howard, &c.

• THE NEW PROTECTIONIST
LEADER.
(From the Times.)
A meeting was held yesterday at the house of
Lord Stanley, The object of it was to elect a leader
for the protectionist party in the place of Lord
George Bentinck, who announced that he had ac-
cepted brevet rank and retired. There then is an
end of the second phase of protectionism. The
truncheon has fallen from the hands of two leaders
within the last three years. When Sie Robert Peel
addressed in the year 1846 the army which he him-
self had led into the very heart of the Caudine Forks,
and announced his intention of resigning the corn-
mend, nothing could be more natural than their
astonishment. It was not pleasant for a force accus-
tomed to victory to find themselves engaged in so
perilous a defile. We can imagine the bitterness of
that moment. The Invincibles had but one
course to pursue, which was, like our army
in Flanders, to swear terribly. They did so.
What followed is not a very pleasant subject of re-
flection. Lord George Bentinck was raised alofton the
shields of the army, and proclaimed commander.
His task was no easy one ; nature and man, economic
science and arithmetic, the condition of parties and
the prices current, were all against* him. The crops
had rotted in the ground—he was to argue against
the unchecked importation of food; The minds of
the English people had been stirred to their inmost
depths—he was to contradict their will. To gain his
point he must needs prove Adam Smith a dreamer,
and the multiplication-tat le a snare. The Whigs,
the Radicals, the Peelites, far out-numbered his little
phalanx, nor was there hope in 'an election. Every
ship, as it arrived to-day from Canada or the States,
from the Baltic or the Black Sea,
was freighted with
contradictions of his yesterday's assertions. Despite
of all these obstacles, be stormed, argued, calculated,
blackened white, and whitened black, through many
months of a protracted opposition. It was not in
the nature of things that such a struggle should
continue. The demonstration was in character
and energy but thief those fabulous sailors of the
French Republic"; tailiase cry was of triumph when
that cry was their last. Lord George Bentinck and
his followers of the time had constituted themselves
into a party without any party objects, if we except
the impossible. They had formed a party in obe-
dience to the impulses of their heated imaginations,
and not in accordance with the dictates of sober
reason. It is only wonderful that they hung together
so long. Leader and followers, we understand, are
now very heartily disgusted one with the other.
Their drama endured for a season, like an extrava-
ganza at the Adelphi. It was never written nor con-
ceived for all time. Lord Gecrge Bentinck's epitah
as a Protectionist leader must be the black page in
" Tristram Shandy." Alas! poor Yorick. There's an
end of him ! It is said, but we know not on what authority
that the Marquis of Granby will be elected in his
place. As far as the public are concerned, the news
will probably be read with little more interest than
an announcement in the Gazette which should tell
us of " Granby promoted vice Bentinck " retired."
The public just now are not careful of the proceed
ings of that which should be the Conservative party.
This is not the fault of the public but of the
party. Let them abandon for ever the ridiculous
name of Protectionism. The Conservatives of Eng-
land want statesmen, not undertakers. We have
heard quite enough about the " dear deceased."
The funeral cambric is dry. The very mutes can-
not squeeze out another tear. They who
would win the confidence of others should evince by
'their proceedings that they are pursuing sane objects
sanely. The want of a Conservative party in the
House is now generally felt throughout the country.
The very well-withers of the present Administration
would be glad to see once more something like an
equipose of parties. If the Conservative party will
not take up a distinct and intelligible ground, it is
certain that the House will divide itself into
other factions, of whose shock they must
be mere spectators, if they do not wish to '
contribute to their own annihilation. It is in such
a conjuncture of circumstances that the new
leader, whoever he may be, will be called to fill this
important post. As far as the young nobleman we
have mentioned is known to the world, he is known
favourably. He may or may not be equal to the
emergency, but at any rate he is entitled to, a
fair trial. The task which is ascribed to him
is one of extreme difficulty ; let him, if he under-
takes it, have whatever of aid patience and sym-
pathy can give him. The immediate Minister should
not be so much an object of apprehension with Lord
Granby—if Lord Granby is indeed to be the
leader—as that statesmen who was holding an
honoured post in public affairs before he was even
born. Sir Robert Peel is still at the head of
a large section of the old Conservative party, which
includes in its ranks the most practised official men
of the country. Much of public confidence he may
' have lost by his changes of opinion, but the manu-
facturing and commercial interests look kindly on
him still. The new leader must steer his course
with great dexterity if he retain the allegiance of
his followers, and profit by the blunders of the
Ministry in the face of a statesman of forty years'
experience, who will never, while life hold. lose the
instinct of power. There must be nothing in-
definite, nothing puerile in the watchwords
of the Non-Conservatives, if they hope to
exist as a party with honour to themselves or
profit to their country. Out of doors there is a
feeling that will soon aid them, or despise them, as
the case may be. Let their new chief be careful
about his first steps, and not be carried cff his
legs by the more gusty members of his party.
What the public want just now in a Conservative
leader is not so much a great orator, or a states-
man of brilliant genius, as an upright and sober-
minded but able man, who will gain respect, or at
least rescue his party from the ridicule with which
their late proceedings have overwhelmed them.

The Hon. Gentleman entered,
as we understand the matter, on the discharge of his
new duties yesterday evening; and we have pleasure
in bearing our humble testimony to the ability with
which he justified the confidence reposed in him. In
the present, or recent, bereaved condition of our Pro-

sibly have done better than in their selection of the
Hon. Member for North Northamptonshire, and we
sincerely hope they will exhibit towards him more
gratitude and forbearance than has sometimes cha-
racterised their treatment of their great men. For
our own part, we shall at all times be happy to meet
Mr. Stafford in his new capacity. There is real
pleasure in dealing with a gentleman who evidently
gives himself the pains of studying a subject before
speaking on it, and who has an intellect that nothing
