SELF-PRESERVATION.

illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, or infection.
By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.

REVIW or THZ WORK.
La'Mert on the InfirmitieZs
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 disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
Into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before as
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
.4 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 hi 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."

qualified to judge for himself.
You further " stale your readiness to ieeeiire any
admonition from rn-6 as to the most effectual mode of
discharging the office." This I conceive is unneces-
sary—you doubtless fully understand the nature of
the instruction required from a professor of divinity
in our Church; and the system of teaching adopted
by your immediate predecessor, the late Bishop of
Oxford, and Dr. Burton, has received the general
approbation of the Church and the University.

IN-CIIIBF, BART., AND G.C.B.

Sir,—lt is my painful duty to report to you the
wreck of her Majesty's steam-frigate Avenger,
Captain Charles N. Napier, at ten o'clock P.M., on
the 20th instant, on a reef between the Island of
Galita and the mainland on the coast of Africa, the
Island of Galita bearing N.E. about ten or twelve
miles, and I enclose the letter of Lieutenant Francis
Rooke, of that ship, which came under cover to you,
reporting this unfortunate occurrence, and his arrival
at Tunis; as also a letter from Sir Thomas Reade,
addressed to you thereon, and the measures adopted
for rescuing the officers and crew if possible.
On the receipt of the above•mentioned letters, on
the 28th instant, by a Tunisian merchant brig, which
had been sent from Tunis by Sir Thomas Reade with
the intelligence, I instantly dispatched the Hecate,
Commander Moorman, with hawsers and stores, to
render every assistance, to ascertain the state of the
Avenger, and heave her off, if practicable, but if
found impracticable, then to save as many of the stores

THE CHOLERA.

Three fatal cases of Asiatic cholera, one of them the
termination of an attack of cholera on board the hulks,
were reported yesterday, and several cases of dangerous
attacks, confidently stated to be of Asiatic cholera, were
also reported. Twelve of the cases reported on Monday,
and mentioned in our paper of yesterday, were ;subse-
quent to the thirteen cases reported in the Registrar-
General's report of the cases of last week, which were up
to Saturday only. A vessel had arrived from Hamburgh
at Hull on Monday, with several cases of attacks, and
one fatal case, on board. Two cases of cholera had oc-
curred in the town, but they were positively stated to be
cases of the common English cholera, and that no cases
of Asiatic cholera had been heard of there. To the
favourable change of weather in the metropolis it is at-
tributed that the rate of increase of extraordinary cases
has been stayed, though :the ravages from the ordinary
epidemics, as reported by the Registrar-General, have
been considerable, being 430 against an average of
270.

WOOLWICH, OCT. 10.—It is gratifying to be able to
state that there have been no new cases amongst the
convicts to-day, and it is the general opinion that the
prompt measures which were adopted on its first ap-
pearance will have the most beneficial results. At all
events the measures have had a great influence on the
minds of the inhabitants, and numerous faces that on
the first certain assurance that a case of cholera had
occurred here bore a most serious aspect, now appear
quite the contrary, all apprehension of the disease in-
creasing having ceased to exist.
PREPARATIONS AGAINST THE CHOLERA.—During the
last few days the authorities of the Borough Hospitals
have been making the necessary preparations for the
reception of all cases of cholera that may be brought
under their notice. At St. Thomas's Hospital an ex-
tensive ward has been fitted up expressly for cholera
cases, which will be under the superintendence of one of
the senior surgeons, who has been specially appointed
to the situation. Similar arrangements have been made
at Guy's Hospital, bat up to a late hour last evening no
cases had been brought in.

:ARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Lendon New Price Current of Oct. 10.)
SUGAR.—To-day the demand decreased for sugar for
all purposes, and a decline in the value of most sorts took
place. For West India Muscovado the market was in a
very dull state, and rather lower rates are taken. The
quantity sold we only 240 hhds, including at public
sale 150 hhds Barbadoes, which went 6d per cwt. lower;
fine yellow at 41$, good 39s to 40s, middling 36s to 375,
and low 35s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods met with little at-
tention for home trade purposes, and prices fell to 49s
6d for brown grocery, and to 50s 6d per cwt for standard
lumps. Bonded crushed Sugar is in good demand at 26s
to 275. Of Loaves large parcels have been taken at 29s
Gd to 30s for 9 and 10lbs Hamburgh.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri-
tius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted
to 8,901 bags, nearly the whole of which was taken in
at about the former value; middling to fine yellow at
36s 6d to 395. A small part sold—low and middling
yellow 34s 6d to 355, fine brown 38s 6d to 345, out
of condition 27s to 38s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale was extensive, and amounted
to 10,000 bags, a small portion only of which sold at 6d
to is per cwt decline.
FORElGN.—Previous rates are supported for foreign
Sugar, and there is a less quantity on offer. A good ex-
port demand since our last report, and the private
sales are a cargo of white Havannah at 33s 6d, one of
low yellow at 17s, one of white Bahia at 19s, two of
brown at 16s to 17s, one of white Pernambuco at 19s
6d, and 600 chests of yellow Havannah at 22s to 245.
At auction 72 boxes of Havannah were sold; 780 pkges
of Bahia were for the most part talon

PERUVIAN STOCK.

The holders of Peruvian Stock will be in part relieved
from their anxiety or suspense, by some particulars
which we subjoin, and which have only just been re
ceived, but we question much if they will be satisfied
with the delay that has occurred, and with the jobbing
that some parties have been enabled to carry on in con-
sequence, even if the terms suit:—
