tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired is youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
CDVMODORE MA.RTI.V3 FRIGATE SQUADRON.
Commodore Martin, with the frigate Squadron, left Liebon
on Frid morninv, February 28, on a cruise. The squadron
consisted of-the Leander, 50, Captain Dacres, with the com-
modore's red pendant; Indefatigable, SP, Captain F--mart,
; the Phaeton, 51', Captain G. Elliot ; the Arethusa,
50, Captaii; Symonds; the Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, Cap-
tain Halsted; and the Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Cap-
tain Warden.
The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Robinson ; and
the Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, were left
behind—the former in consequence of some defects in her
machinery requiring repair. had broken the coupling of
her screwshaft. The Arrogant, before she returned to Ports-
mouth, was very much infest d with rate, and great exer-
tions were made by her Majesty's rat-catcher to destroy
them, but without effect.
The squadron would have started on the 25th, but it blew
a very heavy gale, causing such consi lerable surf on the bar
outside, that it was not deemed advisable to move. On the
26th the ships unmoored, but did not quit until the 28th, as
above stated.
The cruise, it is reported, will extend so far as Madeira,
and the ships will be absent for about a month.

The seamen and the marine artillery belonging to the
Hogue, 60 gun ship, Captain Macdougall, and the Ajax, 60,
screw flag-ship, Captain Quin, together with the naval ap-
prentices, under their respective captains and other officers,
were landed on Friday at Queenstown, and in the presence
of Rear-Admiral Dickson, the Commander-in-Chief, were
put through the various exercises with field-pieces, small-
arms, &c., in which they excelled to the satisfaction of the
Gallant Port Admiral.
Birkenhead, troop-steamer, Master-Commander Penn, and
Hercules stare-ship, Master- Commander Fulton, arrived at
Gibraltar on the 4th of March.
Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, with her tender,
Bloodhound steam-vessel, put into Lisbon on the 27th ult.,
and would leave for the coast of Africa in the course of four
or five days. They had hard weather in the Bay of Biscay,
and the Sampson took her tender in tow, but this did not
answer, as every hawser was carried away, and the bows of
the ship were almost torn out.
Poiersmourn, MAncir 10.—The Cumberland, 70, Captain
Seymour, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour,
K.C.8., appointed to succeed Earl Dundonald on the West
India and North American station, was paid advance this
day by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. She
will re-hoist Sir Francis's flag to-morrow, and sail on Wed-
nesday.
The Penelope, 22, Captain Lyster, was taken out of the
steamer basin to-day. She will be removed under the
shears to be masted as soon as the Powerful, 84, is placed in
ordinary.
PLYMOUTH, MARCH B.—Letters received yesterday from
the Mediterranean state that her Majtdityrs" ship Caledonia,
ID, Captain T. W. Carter, was to sail this day, the Bth, from
Malta for Plymouth, to be paid off.
The offi-ers and crew of the brig Kingfisher were paid
off to-day at the Pay-office in the dockyard, and her sea-
men gunners sailed in the Avon steamer for Portsmouth this
afternoon.
The Vulcan and Acheron steamers are hourly expected.
The steam -ship Megicienne is ordered to cruise seven days
in the Channel to try her ra e of sailing.
SUNDAY, 5 nat. There is no indication of the approach
of the Cape mail packet Bosphorus, hourly expected here for
some days past. It is possible that she may have been
detained for urgent purposes by the Governor, Sir H. Smith.
FALMOUTH, blaacn 9. Her Majesty's packet Peterel,
Lieutenant Thomas Creser commander, has this morning ar-
rived from Rio de Janeiro with the Brazil mails, which port
she left on the 12th of January. She brings about 6,0001.
on freight, and Senhor Dionysius Vergo and a miner as pas-
sengers. The intelligence brought by this packet has been
completely anticipated by the arrival of the Seraphina at
Liverpool from Pernambuco, bringing four days' later dates
from Rio do Janeiro. The Peterel has experienced very
severe weather on the passage.
HER MAJESTY'S SIIIP IMPREGNABLE.—SinCe our last
publication three f the officers of the flag-ship have been
superseded, in consequence of having served the usual period
of three years. First-Lieutenant Harry T. Veitch is to be
succeeded by Lieut. R. B. Miller; Lieut. Spencer H. Pickard
by Lieut. F. llawkins ; and Paymaster and Purser James
Ozzard by Mr. Thomas Shanks, formerly of the vanguard.
The first otlicer we have named, Lieut. Harry T. Veitch,
entered the service in 1830, and from that time (with the ex-
ception of two months) to the present he had been most
most actively employed. We happen to know that
he has earned the good opinion and warmest
approbation of every officer under whom he has
served—among them the late respected Admiral Sir
Charles Paget, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, Cap-
tains Sir Richard Grant, S r Henry J. L eke, Captain
Lawrence, Captain A. Milne, and others of high standing in
the service. D„.ring th three past years Lieutenant Veitch
has evinced the greatest zeal in training the naval appren-
tices on board t,,e Impregnable, and keeping that fine ship
in the best 1:e ssibll order and discipline, by carrying out
effectually the Admiralty instructiets and three of his gal-
lant Captain. As the son f a meritor out veteran, who at-
tai ed the rank of Post-f7aptain entirely by arduous services
as First-Lieutenant of frigates during the late war, and as an
officer who has given universal satisfacti n to his superiors,
we venture to hope that the First Lord of the Admiralty will
look favourably on his claims, ant grant him that pr, motion
which his active and fa thful services so eminently deserve.—

MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLICS
OF THE LONDON DISTRICT.
A meeting of the Roman Catholics of the London dis-
trict was held at one o'cleck yesterday, at the Freema-
sons' Tavern, Great Queen-street. The
omueseetiienyg
Hig-
gins, very fully attended. Amongst those on the platform we
mobservedr Amherst,
m .pM. , r
m.
Pr.hbialSirrister; the Rev. Mr. O'Neill, Mr.
Moore, M.P., and Mr. Eneas Macdonell. Mr. Howard
occupied the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that the object of the meeting
was to defend their own cause and rights, now assailed
by the Government; and he was sure that in doing so
they would do so with temper and moderation. He con-
gratulated them on the alterations which had been made
in the Bill of the Government, but it still contained the
principle of persecution, and therefore it was their duty
to persevere in their efforts, and he was sure that in
another month the Bill would be consigned to oblivion.
Mr. AMHERST read letters from Lord Petre and other
Roman Catholics, excusing their absence from the
meeting.
Mr. Sergeant Slat proposed the first resolution,
which consisted of two parts; it declared reverence
thevereedncuetyof
and
obedience to the Pope and Bishops to be of a purely

m
to them by gentlemen better qualified than himself to
address them.
Several resolutions protesting against the Bill were
then proposed and unanimously agreed to, the last of
which was the following, moved by Mr. ENEAS MAC-
DONNELL:—" That, while we conscientiously resist
enactments which we know to be injurious and un-
warranted, we are at the same time perfectly willing to
make large allowances for the adverse courses of others,
who, either influenced by erroneous impressions or sud-
denly excited by authoritative appeals, have unjustly
assailed our sentiments, practices, and objects; and we
wish that the mutual interchange of Christian charity,
social confidence, and friendly neighbourhood will ere
long be established between us and our Protestant fel-
' low-subjects of all classes and denominations, solemnly
pledging ourselves, as we now do, that no effort shall be
wanting on our part to effect that happy consummation."
The meeting then separated.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--The most tearful eases of
Dropsy curable by the use of Holloway's Pills.—The singular
efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the numerous cures effected by
their use, in some of the most obstinate eases of Dropsy, is
truly astonishing. This invaluable medicine acts with such
peculiar effect upon the system that the fluids arising from this
direful disease are imperceptibly evacuated and wholly pre-
vented from any further accumulation. The distressing
symptoms which accompany the complaint being thus
dispersed, the sufferer regains buoyancy of spirits and a com-
pletely renovated constitution. Females of a particular period
of life should have recourse to these admirable Pills, which are
sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish-
