REVIEWS OF THE WORK.

"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quail-
fled medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early Indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

;Tames Tasker was charged at Marylebone police-
court with the following act of brutality towards a pig:—
Mr. John Day, Addington-place, Camberwell, deposed that
on the previous evening, as he was passing along Praed-street,
Paddington, he saw the prisoner driving a number of pigs.
One of them, apparently from fatigue, lay down in the road
and seemed quite incapable of progressing any farther, when
the prisoner beat it with a knotted stick upon the head and
various parts of the body with all his might. The poor
animal, notwithstanding the inhuman conduct pursued with
the vie* of causing it rise, lay prostrate upon the ground,
when the prisoner at length laid hold of its tail, and, lifting
up the animal by main force, swore that he would bresk its
leg if it did not go on. When the pig was lifted up blood was
flowing freely from its tail, and upon its head and body were
many wounds and bruises. It further appeared that a con-
siderable crowd collected in consequence of the brutality ex.
ercised, and that the prisoner was ultimately given into cus-
tody. The prisoner denied having ill-treated the pig by
beating it with the stick, but admitted having nicked it
under the tail for the purpose of " reviving" it, as it did not
seem inclined to go on. The magistrate considering it to
be a very bad case, fined the prisoner in the full penalty
of 40s.

TUE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.—We understand the
Duke of Devonshire will proceed in about ten clays to Con-
stantinople on a mission, we hear, from the Government to
the Sultan. On leaving the Turkish capital the Duke goes
to St.Tetersburgh to visit the Emperor of Russia, and will
remain some weeks in that country. The Noble Duke will
be attended by a numerous retinue. It will be recollected
that his Grace went to Russia as Ambassador Extraordinary
on the occasion of the coronation of the Emperor. It is
stated that the Noble Duke will be absent from England at
least six months.

GUANO.—A vessel has just arrived in the West India
Docks from Patagonia, with a cargo of guano; had on board,
in addition to 400 tons of that article, font tons weight lat
crystalised guano.
