Injuries that are produced in them by solitary habits, excesses, and
infection. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON.
Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, _London,.e Honorary Member
of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Marriaga requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order

that it may be really the cause of
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, he raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how .y could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always iMarions ; the gift, which when
a becomes,sed in moderation is fraught with advantage, when

to .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and conseeuence 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 'discrimination n ascertaining the canoes 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 his posse,sion 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
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

On Saturday night the subscription season terminated
most worthily with 1 Puritani and the Pas des Deesses.
These works were received with the loudest demon-
strations of satisfaction by a crowded audience; and
when the national anthem was sung—the whole troupe
being present—the array of rank in the house, and the
array of talent on the stage, equally prove that her Ma-
jrsty's Theatre, up to this moment, presents more than
ever that character of high art, and that prestige of
tttshion, which has rendered it the great centre of refine-
ment and the chosen rendezvous of good society. This
result will appear more remarkable if we reflect under
what adverse circumstances this position has been main-
tained ; and that this season, this costly establishment
has had not only to battle with and conquer the same
hostility as in the previous year, but has had, likewise,
to contend, first, with a state of commercial depression,
and ttbxt, with one of public alarm and mental absorp-
tion,.which have ruined other establishments on a lesser
scale of expenditure.
If we look back to pass the customary review, and dis-
eSver through what means this result has been pro—
duced, we find that the first source of success has been
the spirit of order and upright feeling with which the
establishment has been conducted. From this spirit of
management it has arisen that the public has never been
disappointed, nor the relations of good feeling betwixt
the audiences and the management beep disturbed—all
theatrical bickering*, caprices, and jealousies (if any
have arisen) having given way to the fairness and firm-
ness of the ruling principle.
To estimate the claims of the establishment on the
lovers of art, and see how many new artists have been
introduced to the musical world, we need only throw a
glance at the performances with which the theatre
opened on the 19th of February. There we see the fol-
lowing artists added to the resources of the opera in this
country. In Ernani there was Gardoni and Bolide,
fully established in public estimation by their exertions
of the previous year; whilst Cruvelli and Belletti came
forward for the first time to claim their large share of
public favour. Cruvelli is an excellent exponent
of the new school of Italy, whilst Belletti, in his
department—an infinitely varied one—has no rivalry
to fear, combining, as he does, a fresh and powerful
voice with unerring execution and justness of intonation.
In the ballet department (in Fiorita) we beheld once
more two new and admirable acquisitions, Rosati and
Marie Taglioni, who, on Saturday last, at the close of
the long subscription season, after standing the test of
the most powerful rivalry, still claimed not only undi-
minished, but increasing public favour. Nor can we for-
bet that Fiorita—a ballet so often repeated with the
same success—proved how judicious was the engagement
of M. Paul Taglioni as an additional maitre de ballet.
In the orchestra the acquisitions have been no less re-
markable. Piatti, Lavigne, Langlois, Zeiss, Remusat,
and other professors of the highest reputation form the
important addition to the instrumental department,
which Mr. Balfe has ruled with consummate talent. _

The season is best divided betwixt the epoch before
and that after the arrival of Jenny Lind. In the
first period we had, besides the two best operas of
Verdi, Ernani and Nino, a new opera of this same
author, Attila; then came Coletti (thronghout the sea-
son applauded) to revive his matchless impersonation of
I Due Foscari. This constituted a full representation
of the new school of Italy—the best works in that
style that can be found. During this portion of the
season we had also other operas of older reputation—
/I Barbiere, performed seven times with success, in
which we had besides an excellent Rosina in Cruvelli,
not only a Figaro of such merit as we little expected to
behold, but likewise a Bartolo beyond expectation in
that most efficient vocalist, F. Lablache ; whilst that
sterling basso, Bouche, by condescending to a small
part in this, as on many other occasions, added greatly
to the effect of the cast. Lucretia Borgia, likewise
given within this period, merits particularly to be sig-
nalised, since in this opera Lablache—most versatile
vocalist, the greatest basso of this or of any past age—
made his re-appearance. This wonderful actor and
singer, we are happy to say, displays the same vocal
ker as well as the same geuius as when heAst drew
crowds to her Majesty's Theatre to beholik hiliferform-
ance in the Matrimonio Segreto. This sAlfon, whether
we look to kis terrible impersonation of the truculent
tyrant Alfonso, on his first re-appearance, to his all
pathetic delineation of the character of Giorgi on Sa.
turday, or to his mercurial, fantastic embodiment of the
Italian charlatan Dulcamara, in all these parts was be-
held the same unrivalled elastlclty of frame, as Will as
striking individuality of dramatic conception.
Then came the long expected: moment of the re-ap-
pearance of the peerless Swedish vocalist, who was
beheld once more on the anniversary of the same night.
Most justly did a gifted contemporary entitle it, in the
previous year, " The ever-memorable 4th of May." In
the fervour of their enthusiam, numbers there are,
amongst the lovers of art, wbo would speak of this first
nueting as the great poet of that which ever after ruled
his thoughts ;
" Benedetto six 'I giorno, e 'I Mese, a '1 anno,
Ela stagione e'l tempo e'l ore e punto,
a '1 loco, ov' io fui giunto."

All criticism of Mddlle. Lind's performances is more
than superfluous. Originality and novelty characterise
all she undertakes ; she resembles no one but herself ;
and still, in spite of these gifts, it has been as impossible
duly to describe as it is to caricature the marvellous
portraitures she presents. The reason is simple: whilst
other artists put forth their physical resources, so as to
display the mechanism which moves the springs,
Mdlle. Lind is all intellectuality and all soul. The
parts in which she appeared last year she performed
with more power : with these the public is never sur
feited ; and crowds after crowds flock to the theatre, to
attest her paramount, enduring ascendency, whenever
La Fisilia, Alice, or La Sonnambula are performed. But,
unquestionably, she has made a still further advance in
the career of art in Susanna, of which the neglected
"Deh vieni " is such a gem, that it is alone worth a visit
to the theatre. Lucia di Lammermoor is sublime in its
intimate combination of tragic feeling and vocal power,
whilst Elvira is one of those impersonations in which the
most extraordinary effects are produced by the most
subdued physical power imaginable, and trom the most
novel resources. But, as we said before, description can
never do justice to such singing and such acting.
Amongst the other creditable features of the season was
the engagement of the celebrated Viennese contralto,
Mdlle Schwartz, and of Madame Tadolini, long deemed
the first soprano remaining in Italy, and therefore
engaged with the most praiseworthy liberality.
We cannot pass over, likewise the re-appearance of
Mdlle. Cerito and of Mdlle. Carlotta Grisi, the bright
leaders of the two opposite schools of dancing. Still less
can we omit to notice the return of Perrot, who has
established the highest reputation to which a maitre de
ballet ever attained, by combining every possible resource
of his art in that poetical and classical ballet, Les
Quartre Saisons. The pas, whether for the talent dis-
played in its conception and production, or for the talents
engaged in its representation, is the most remarkable
piece of choregraphy ever brought out on any stage.
This short retrospective will suffice to show what have
been the great merits, under unprecedented difficulties,
of the pas.t subscription season. ..

the performances with his presence. In the Queen's
box were the Earl of Leitrim, the Countess of Cherie-
mont, Lady Elizabeth Clements, Honourable Mr. Cle-

EXTRAORDINARY PRENOMENO-N:4n the forenoon
of Monday last, about eleven o'clock, the passengers in
the railway train to Methley were attracted by an ex-
traordinary circumstance— so extraordinary, indeed, that
the engine-driver pulled up. The attention of the pas-
songers was directed to a mown field. Towards the
centre of this piece of ground a gush of water burst out
to the height of about 12 inches. Immediately after-
wards it was followed by fire and vapour to the height of
about three feet. This extraordinary circumstance oc-
egred about a mile from Methley.—Poncaster Gazette.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH BILL DI
PROVED BY THE LORDS.

Mr. Editor, —,I trust no apolozy is necessary for
continuing my strictures on the progress of this im-
3ortant measure. My excuse will be found in the
lovelty of Sanitary Legislation, the apprehension that
-,rrors in details, or complication in the machinery, may
mpair the working of the measure, the literally vital
concern which the people have in its eLactment, and the
unusual perils to which the public health is exposed,
from extraordinary states and changes of the atmos-
ohere, and the continued menaces of renewed invasion
by the cholera. Another reason, of a different kind, for
recalling the attention of your readers to the subject is,
that it becomes as to render justice to the House of
Lords in this matter. The forebodings of my letter of
June the 11th have not been verified. Instead of sus-
taining further damage, the Bill has been marvellously
improved. Generally speaking, the amendments of the
Lords are as judicious and salutary as those of the Corn-
miis were the contrary. The wilful and selfish blun-
derings of the Squirearchy have been corrected by the
Peerage. We should give Dukes their due as well as
devils. The occasion for Cobbett's devotional precept,
t.e thank God that we have a House of Lords, are not so
frequent as to palliate our neglect of them when they do
occur. If the expression of such gratitude is called for
hut rarely, let it be frank and hearty when it does come.
From even the most Radically disposed, it is a rightful
tribute on the present occasion.
As the Bill left the Commons its provisions could only
be introduced into any locality on the petition of not less
than one-tenth of the rated inhabitants, with the further
limitation that such tenth must consist of at least thirty
inhabitants. Without this condition, ;sot even the pre-
liminary inquiries could be made. This was an instance
of the entreme jealousy of central interference, on which
I have had so much occasion to comment. Sanitary re-
form has been treated, by the local magnates and their
Parliamentary advocates, as an intruder, who was to be
barred out with all conceivable diligence. They were
for keeping watch and ward against its approach, as if
it were a band of robbers ; and be ready to expel in-
quiry by a Borough Alien Act. They stuck seriously
to the old joke of the Frenchman's exclamation in the
water—" I will be drowned—nobody shall help me ;"
and resolved to have no compulsory deliverance from
filth and fever. Unhappily the declaration was only
that of the dominant Squires. They had the swagger,
while it was left for the poor people to perish. The
amendment interpolated by the Lords is to this
effect : Inquiry shall take effect whenever and
wherever the deaths in any locality, as reported by
the registration returns, exceed, through a period of
three consecutive years, those of the adjacent districts,
or the general average of the kingdom; or than when
more than twenty per cent. of the deaths in such locality
result from typhus fever, diarrhoea, :or " other febrile
epidemic, endemic, anti contagious diseases, classed in
the Registrar. General's return as Zymotic." Such a
state of mortality is wisely held by the Lords to super-
sede the votings of vestries, and override the objections
of country squires and town councillors. Disease is al-
lowed to speak for itself. Fever is heard in evidence,
though landlords may protest. The testimony of death
is taken as decisive, though against the double votes of
parish proprietors ; and open graves are counted to.
compare their numbers with filthy cottages. This test
is peculiarly objectionable. The Healing Act only asks
to come where pestilence has come before it. Like the
Angel of Pity, in the parable, it only tracks the foot-
prints of pain and suffering. According to the old tire
tnatic rule, its interposition is only introduced when the
difficulty is worthy of a deity for its solution. Those
who wish to resist the interference, must first resist the
fever. The law appeals from the, perhaps, uninfluenced
decision of a parish junta, to the decision of Providence
itself. And it declares, in the spirit of Christian legis-
lation, " Wherever the ravages of mortality are authen-
ticated, as beyond what they actually are on the ave-
rage, there will I come to put down the nuisances by
which ignorance, indifference, or
,cupidity minister to
human suffering and destruction."
This is the great point gained by the deliberations of
the Select Committee of the Lords. Its worth can
scarcely be over rated. The wretchvdest districts will
reap the advantage. Relief and want will have their
fixed relation ; but, together with this most important
change, there are others of a minor character, almost
every one of which is in the right direction, and deserv-
ing of notice on that account. Some of these I proceed
to specify. •

The fords have refused to allow the Chief Cis.
sioner of Woods and Forests \to act alone, %Lif he were
the whole Board ; and, except in the event 11 vacancy,
they require any two members (ot which it is not neces-
sary that he should be one) to act in- the application of
the law. This is a manifest improvement. The poweL
,fit
originally vested *the Woods and Forests tend 'ti
reducetHlP,Board a political accident. It was ti o
the tail of an Adt i 4nistration. The most unfit n
of thsvhree migh k,:rb all the authority. We do not
g(ikally find the m t capable functionary installed in
thel4'oods and Forests. Some of the s: erets ot that
office which arc about to be dragged into light, will, it
is said. furnish .an- astounding display_ ofjnetiticiencyi
neglect, and confusion. The Lords might have done
better than they have by effacing the political character
of the Board altogether, and providing that all its mem-
bers should be selected for " appropriate intellectual ap-
titude." But so great a departure from the constitution
of the Board was scarcely within the scope of an
amendment. They have dune much. We take the im-
provement as a gift-horse.
The smoke nuisance is very pithily provided for, in
an interpolated clause. This object was relinquished in
the Commons by the infinitely conceding readiness of
Lord Morpeth, as played upon by the proprietors of
the Staffordshire collieries. They had the impudence to
suggest something about the healthiness of smoke. As
the prohibition is restricted within the limits of the
" practicable"—and those limits are notoriously large
enough to purify many cubic miles of air, and render
them fit for human breathing—l trust this valuable
boon will escape the sinister influences that arc so
powerful in the House of Commons. There are compa-
ratively few cases in which, either by the consumption of
the smoke in properly constructed furnaces, or its avoid-
ance by the use of Anthracite coal, this is anything more
than a question of expense, and that of no very heavy
amount. The victims of the nuisance, by its deleterious
effect on the lungs, are numerous. In Lancashire an 4.
Yorkshire, the pestiferous effect on vegetation forces itself
en the observation. 'frees and plants are poisoned by
the vomitings of the tall chimneys. They turn sickly,
shrivel, and die, exhibiting most forlorn emblems of the
' sufferings of humanity amid these pestiferous exhala-
tions. The breathing apparatus of the human frame is
not less delicate in its structure than that of leaf and
blossom, fine as these are. Many of cur towns have an
atmosphere not to be inhaled with impunity. The
abundance of smoke occasions also, by its actions on
the density of the air, that of moisture. Damp and
disease are near relations.

-----
Amongst other alterations, I will only just notice
the suppression of a vexatious clause, requiring
plans of all intended public buildings, courts,
chapels, schools, factories, &c., to be prevtousiy sub-
mitted for the sanction of the Board; the restora-
tion of the power of the Local Boards to provide
adequate supplies of water; and the requirement of
open contracts for works done under the Act. As a
questionable change, or one of an opposite character, I
may notice the suppression of the clause which allows
the sanitary rate to be remitted on the ground of poverty
in the occupier or the party liable. Why should a
measure of peculiar beneficence be accompanied by this
peculiar severity? The poor-rates are a heavy burden
on the poor. They descend much too low on the scale
of rents. Often are the contributors more in a condition
to be recipients. Often are they actually pressed down
into that condition. Enforcement of the relief of pau-
perism transforms poverty into pauperism. Remission,
entire or partial, is continually found to be necessary,
and is actually conceded; and the last case of all to make
exceptional is, surely, that in which the rate goes, not to
feed the hungry, but to promote the general health,
comfort, and well-being of the community, rich as well
as poor.
It only remains to observe how the Lords have dealt
with the subject of burials. The Commons gave it up,
in despair, after rejecting propositions for free Cemete-
ries on the one hand, and on the other a new scheme for
new Churchyards, to be bought by rates, levied on all
classes, and vested as a freehold in the clergyman. The
Bishops have very much bettered the instruction. The
provision is really made on a liberal principle. On the
closing of burial-grounds, so full as to threaten injury
to the health of the neighbourhood, " the Local Board
may, subject to the approval of the General Board, pro-
cure some convenient place wherein interments may take
place, on conditions to be settled by the said General
Board, and (so far as relates to the interment of persons
belonging to the Church of England) approved by the.
Lord Bishop of the Diocese." Lord Morpeth promises, in
the next session, a Bill to prohibit intramural interment
altogether. Meanwhile, the worst of the evil will, if the
Government and the Commons permit, be unexception-
ably met by the above arrangement. It saves the rights
of Dissenters, and leaves the clergy and rt.he.Churelici
people in the hands of that Spiritual authority to which
they profess allegiance.

very pleasant to record these instances of real and
judi-
cious improvement; to have to praise thellous.eopfoLrotarndts

fur them; and to find them nso needful and m
a measure as that which ,rill now soon become the law

too many dark ones. The failure will be lamentable,
should, as there is reason to fear, Ministers allow some
of these important amendments to evaporate as mere 1)
good intentions. And this is, alter all, only a means for
the alleviation of miseries
of our own
creation. Still,
they were created unconsciously; in disregard, it may
be, but not in hostility, to human health and happiness;
and their removal or alleviation is the work of science
and legislation consciously, diligently, and philanthro-
pically directed towards their noblest ends.
