Anatomy, Physiology, and Diseases of the Reproductive Organs,
explaining their structures, uses, and functions, and the various
injuries that are produced in them by solitary habits, excesses, and
infection. BY SAMUEL LEMERT, M.D.,

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member

Marriage reqatres the fulfilment of several conditions. in Ordir
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 is 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
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an 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 importance 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 vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate diserimination n ascertaining the causes of
sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riablyeawCharacterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he 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
eertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
marantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

the head of profits are these items:—" Amount received
for the sale of works written by me, 517/.; amount re-
ceived for sale of copyright of several works, 700/.;
amount received for translations and literary contri-
butions to various periodicals, 413/. Amongst the
liabilities is 2001. to the London and Joint Stock Bank,
which holds Saunders and Turrell's acceptances for that
amount. Messrs. Venables and Co. aro liability credi-
ditors for 1,490/.; and Messrs. Bradbury and Evans for

of stack of journals, 6051.; loss in connexion with the
People's Journal, 400/.
Mr. LAWRANCE, on behalf of the assignees, called the
attention of the Court to the fact that the bankrupt had
executed an assignment to his mother-in-law in October,
1847, in order to secure to her the amount of a loan
which she had advanced to him in July, 1846. There
was no entry of this transaction in the books of the
bankrupt, but there was other evidence to establish the
fact of the loan, which he did not dispute.
It was urged against the bankrupt that he had gsne
on trading after he was insolvent.

The Comanasiosree. said he had never laid down the
principle that the moment a trader was in difficulties ho
ought to stop, but there was one period to which he (the
Commissioner) alwas looked, namely,:that at which the
trader was first sued by a creditor.
Mr. LAWRANCE said it could not be denied that in
this case there was a lamentable discrepancy between
the debts and the assets.
The COMMISSIONER said that ho must take into ac-
count the fact that great depreciation of the stock had
taken place in consequence of the forced sale. But the
question really before him now was, not the conduct of
Mr. _Hewitt, but whether the accounts were correct.
thought they were so, and would express no opinion
whatever upen the bankrupt's conduct as a trader. lie
must say, however, that he did not think the bankrupt
was to blame in forming the estimates of his property
which he had done, for although great loss occurred
from the realization, that was owing to the peculiar
circumstances under which the realization took place ;
neither did ho see any reason why Mr. llowitt should
not have continued to struggle, with the hope that ho
would ultimately get over his embarrassments.
The official assignee was of opinion that the balance-
sheet was a correct one.
The bankrupt passed.
Mr. CIIILDE applied for an allowance to the
bankrupt.
Mr. LAWRANCE offered no opposition, and a sum of
3/. a week was granted.

niously and violently assaulting Ann Williams, on the
Ist of July instant, at Worksop, and committing a rape
upon her person.
Mr. Mellor conducted the prosecution; Mr. Miller

The prisoner was a person in a respectable situation
of life, being a lace manufacturer at Lenton, just out of
this town. lle was a married man with a family of chil-

was 15 years old, lived with her uncle two or three
doors from the prisoner, and occasionally came to his
house to work for him, principally at threading bobbins
for the lace.

The case occupied the court a considerable time. The
verdict was one of Acquittal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMINSTER.
John Hawkins, Thomas Hugginson, and Dennis Wilson,
three young men, were placed at the bar, charged with
barglariously breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr.
W. Wollop, 23, Rutland-gate, Knightsbridge, and steal-
ing therefrom a quantity of jewellery.
The circumstances of the case are briefly these:--At
11 o'clock on Monday night, Miss Sarah Croxford, who
had been left in charge:of' Mr. Wollop's house during the
absence of that gentleman and his family from town, re-
tired to rest, having previously with the female servants
examined all the fastenings of the house, and seen that
they were secure. At about one o'clock in the morning
she was awoke by a noise like the rattling of a wire
guard over a window near the back door, and heard a
noise which induced her to think that the alarutn bell,
which is over that door, had been muffed. Immediately
afterwards she heard persons coming up stairs, her room
door was opened, and a man who from his general ap-
pearance she believed to be the prisoner Hawkins, en-
tered the room and came to her bedside. She was much
alarmed and pretended to be asleep. Two other men
then came in but she could not recognise them;. one held
a light, and the others having looked round the room
carefully, one of the fellows said, " It's all right," and
they then left the room, locking Miss Croxford in. She
then heard one person go up stairs and another down,
and the third, as she supposed, into an adjoining room;
but from the noise she heard almost imme-
diately afterwards overhead she felt convinced that
there must be more than one person there. She got
out of bed, and having placed a table and serae
other furniture against her bedroom door, quietly welled
the window and called " Police." She had done so for
two or three minutes before the thieves heard that an
alarm was being given, and they then flashed down
stairs, out at the back door, over the garden-wall, into a
field, and escaped. One of them, belieyed by Miss Crox-
ford to be Hugginson, had some difficulty in scaling the
wall. Her cries at length brought a soldier to the spot,
who having fetched the police they entered by the rear
of the house and released her from her room. On exa-
mination of the premises the first thing that presented
itself on the stairs was Mr. Wollop's cashbox unopened,
and on proceeding to Miss Wollop's bedroom her jewel
cases were found on the floor and the jewellery strewn
about in all directions. The snaps of various neck-
laces and other articles of gold had been forced off
several 'ornaments, and were placed altogether
ready to be carried off. The plate cupboard,
desks, workboxes, & c., in the house had been
broken open, and their contents scattered about,
and tour gold bracelets, a heart and cross, and other
jewellery, together with 61. 10s. from Miss Croxford's
workbox, were missed; but the extent of the robbery it
is not possible at present to state from the circumstance
of the family being at the Isle of Wight. The burglars
had removed the covering from the cage of a canary in
the lower part of the house, and smoked tobacco under
its
singing bird, in order, as it is supposed, to prevent
singing and arousing the inmates. An entrance to the
house had evidently been effected by some slim person
getting between the iron bars of the kitchen window
,and opening the sash; and near the back door by which
the thieves made their escape a pair of shoes of very
peculiar make ancl.appearance had been left by one of I
them. In the course of inquiries instituted by Inspector
Cumming, of the B division, he ascertained that the
prisoner Wilson formerly lived in the family as page
boy, and as he felt confident that some person well
acquainted with the premises must have been con-
cerned in the robbery, his suspicions, from circum-
stances that transpired, were directed in that quar-
ter, and from information received in the course
of very active and diligent exertions the three pri-
soners were taken into custody. The inspector
observed Hawkins leave the Hampstead-road on
Monday afternoon and go towards some fields, where
he lost sight of him behind some buildings for two or
three minutes, and having waited till he again made his
appearance he took him into custody; and on u special
constable named Price, who had accompanied the in-
spector, examining the spot where the prisoner had
been, he found four gold bracelets and a gold cross and
heart (part of the property stolen) concealed under some
dirt. Hawkins had on at the time of his apprehension a
pair of shoes precisely corresponding with those found
in Mr. Wollop's house, the latter of which fitted him.
Wilson was apprehended at his residence, and in a tea-
caddy in his reom a gold locket and heart and cross
were found concealed amongst some hemp-seed. A
knife with its blades so formed as to be perfect screw-
drivers was also found in his possession. Further evi-
dence was also given to prove that this had been a well-
planned burglary, and that in order to ascertain the best
time of carrying it into effect, Hawkins had called at the
house a few days ago, and having inquired for the page
boy, who was out at the time, elicited from the servant
the time at which the family would leave town. It was
further proved, that the prisoners had all three been seen
in company a few days ago, and that on the same day
(Thursday last) Wilson made some inquiries as to when
the family would leave town.
The prisoners all denied the charge.
Mr. BRODERIP said, he should remand them upon this
very serious charge fora week.

The CHAIRMAN here got up, and said, when he came
there that evening he understood that there was to be
no violent or seditious language uttered by the members
of the meeting. Mr. 0. Kavanagh had used language
which he considered, and which h© thought, if put
before a jury, would be looked upon as seditious. If
the speaker did not withdraw the remark holding deft•
ance against the Government, he must order the meet•
ing to adjourn. It was not his (the Chairman's) wish
that any of that meeting, or he himself, should become a
victim in the dock of Newgate, for Mr. 0. Kavanagh's
incautious language.
Mr. 0. KAVANAGH (with great warmth, continued)—
When a Government deprives the people of their con-
stitutional rights and privileges, the people are justified
in holding out against them.—(Tremendous cheering,
which lasted for several minutes.)
The CHAIRMAN rose amidst much confusion, and as
soon as order was a little restored, he said the Govern-
ment did not care for the defiance of the people.
A VOICE (from the pit of the theatre) :—But we will
make them care.—(Great cheering.)
Upon this the CHAIRMAN rose, and declared the
meeting to be adjourned.
After some further boisterous proceedings the meeting
broke up, and the parties quietly dispersed.
One of the F division of police, who was in private
clothes, upon being recognised by the parties in the gal-
lery, was obliged to make a precipitate retreat.
