REVIEW OF TUE WORK

La'Afert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with ne spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disostrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him i In the book before ns
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, 'without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital. benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

" Manhood.' A Medical Work.—To the gay and thought less we
trust this little won will serve as a beacoa to warn them of the
danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their passions,
whilst to some it may serve as a monitor in the hour of tempta-
tion, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health."—Chronicle.

" Manhood.' By J. L. Curtis.—Their long experience and re-
putation in the treatment of these painful diseases is the patient's
guarantee, and well deserves for the work its immense cirulation."

.Era.

" Curtis on Manhood' should be in the hands of youth and old
age. It is a medical publication, ably written, and developes the
treatment of a class of painful maladies which has too long been
the prey of the illiterate and the designing."— United Service
Gazette.

The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, en perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-,
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
mdch more frequently than it is at all suspected.

N.B. Hours of consultation from Eleven till Two, mid Six to
Bight in the Evening.

CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.--Yesterday
meeting of the commissioners took place at Guildhall.
On the motion of Mr. Deputy Stevens, a standing com-
mittee, consisting of ten members of the Court, was ap-
pointed to watch the Bill in Parliament to be introduced
for the purpose of reducing the price of gas. Mr. Simon,

hitherto reported, that no death had taken place from
cholera since he had last appeared before them. Mr.
Daw (the chief clerk) had received a letter from the
New River Company, stating that it was agreed to sup-
ply the courts and alleys, Bce., which had handcocks,
with water twice instead of once a day. A report on
the different prices and qualities of slabs for pavement,
from William Haywood, surveyor, having been read, the
Court then resolved that a certain portion of the Llan-
gollen stone pavement should be laid down in the Poul-
try.—Adjourned.
THE WE ATHER.—The variable nature of our
climate has been exhibited in a peculiar manner here
during the last ten days, by the sudden changes which
took place in the temperature and the state of the wea J
ther----one day mild, calm, and clear, and the next cold
and wet, with high wind, threatening destruction toi
everything within its range. Early on Sande), morning,
we had a keen frost with a slight fall of snow, but the
temperature became milder in the forenoon, and in the
evening rain fell in torrents with wind from the south-
west, which blew during the night with the fury of a
tempest. Numerous chimney cans, slates, &c., were
blown down, to the imminent danger of passengers in
the streets.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—At Dingle, on Wed-
nesday, a canoe was upset, when the crew, consisting of
four, met a watery grave ; there being a tremendous
surf
,on the beach, there could be no possibility of
saving themselves. The names of the sufferers are
