JOWETT'S HYDRAULIC TELEGRAPH.
Hundreds of visitors, including various scientific men of dis-
thignished celebrity, have, daring the last week, inspected the MO-
DiEL and FLANS of the above astonishing and interesting produc-
tion, whilst, with trifling scceptions, but one opinion has predomi-
nited is respect to its successful operations and powerful results ; es-
Pl/dallY the simplicity of its construction, the very considerable re-
diactien in outlay compared with the electric, and, as the Morning
Peet (in its critical remarks) observes, " no one can examine the
adodel without being struck with the principle it so beautifully itins-
tratee." A Committee of Management is now in formation to fully
Wry out the important objects of the Patentee, and areport of scien-
tific opinions upon the merits of the Hydraulic Telegraph, together
I;rith the notices of the daily and weekly journals, will shortly be
blishod.

W THOUGHTS AT WESTMINSTER-EALL.
The Judges assembled at Westnilister-hall,
t On a matter important to greet and to small ;
The scene was exciting, the Court was a cranim'd 'an,
And all seemed absorbed in the subject of Hampden.
" Zech opened his ears, while he opened his vision,
) All anxious to come at the Judges' decision.
'Twas pleasing to see, in a place so immense,
The " gents of the long robe" with interest intense ;
' While the Judges appeared in their wigs and their ermine,
The Bishop of Hereford's case to determine.
,1 My opinion concerning this matter—but et
'Tie a party affair, and the subject must drop.
For a topic like this—a political one
Is kept iu the back-ground by MOSES and SON.
let MOSRi and SON your attention would call
To a few acatter'd musings in Westminster-hall.
There were certainly many things there to adnii:e,
While thousands assembled with faultless attire.
I could trace, while I stood in the old justice-room,
The presence of MOSES (at least in costume) ;
Bath of which (though I wouldn't run anything down),
In beauty could vie with the lung legal gown.
While I gazed oa the ermine the Judges had on,
I thought of the Furs of E. EIOSES•and SON.
The Boots and the Shoes, and the Prime Paris Hats,
The Gloves and the Kerchiefs, t: e Stocks and Cravats,
.4 Plainly proved that the concourse in Westminster-halt,
• t ]!ad given another great building a call.
May they do so again—may the Mart be a " cramra'd 'un,"
And than concludes MOSES, with Vann Dickson Hampden.

Marriage reqaires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
ghat it
4 may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
vs.., which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
aid its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
be traced to physical disqualifications and their atteudant disap-
P9intreente. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
Mal in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
'abused, the Prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
t 9 the constitutieruil and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
vale nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are Productive of greater severity of misery to the kaman frame,
Stan any other to which it is subject.
This work contains ass 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
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 iadnlgence and vicious habits, whether acqaired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufferiag
•froin their invariable censequeeces, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread se
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these m
heyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and preventcoliiiis socking
are
kor assistance where alone it can be procured. In aetiag tsheucs!lige
*gets that accurate discrimination. n ascertaining the cause's of
Mamie, 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 posse sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect la his 'wares-
..tie,nal pursuits, the utmost coufldeace should be extended. Dr.
‘A.MRItT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
*try. and the great extent of his practice for many years is 4
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
141elY to the treatraeat of these diseases.
