This treatise is the result of a long course o!' study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the hizhest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.
REVIEW OF THE woita.
La'3lert on the Infirmities of Youth and Isfaturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Couselence ; and of these Hie result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him In the book before as
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and iastruct 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.
wherever
but By un-
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed
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."

LEICESTER TRADE.—There is no alteration in the
state of trade since our last publication. There con-
tinues to be a fair average demand for the home trade,
and the machinery is generally employed. The fine
weather has given more confidence to dealers, and, from
the low price of material, stocks of all kinds are con-
sidred safe. No alteration in the price of wool since

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY, SEPT. 17.—The Ocean

York. The Hermann will load in Southampton Docks,

Great Western, Captain Chapman, arrived to day from
London, where she has undergone repairs. She is to
sail on the 2d proximo with the West India and Mexican
mails. The Des', Captain William Allan, is to take her
departure to-morrow with the West India mails. The.
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Madrid,
Captain John Weeks, will leave on Monday with the
Spanish and Portuguese mails. The steamers Reindeer
and Eagle are hourly expected from St. Thomas's and
Fayal. The Severn, Captain %V. Vincent, with the
homeward West India and Mexican mails, is due here
on the 22d, but from her being a very fast ship, it is pro-
bable she may make her appearance on Monday or
Tuesday. The following mail steamers are in port;—
West India Company's Great Western, Tay, and Dee ;
Peninsular and Oriental Company's Hindustan, Indus,
Euxine, Iberia, Jupiter, Pasha, and Madrid ; and the
American steamers, Hermann and United States.
THE SINGLETON SCHOONER.—Considerable appre-
hension still prevails in the town respecting the fate of
this fine little craft. Up to our going to press nothing
which can be relied on has been heard of her. She is
the property of our esteemed Member, J. H. Vivian,
Esq., and sailed from this port with copper ore for Liver-
I pool three weeks ago.—Cambrian.
