DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gra.vings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Heal)* and Disease.
The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly
qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20
years has made the Diseases arising usually from
Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of !position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chlefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period
long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
perience.
A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap-
pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in
some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time
almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the
general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though
these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre-
valent than any others.
The consequence of so important a department of pathology
being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in
question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac-
titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into
the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal
penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of
these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the
medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion
that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica-
tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare
in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred
hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace
chronic embitterment by permanent content.

pital Medical Society, Am, is the only legally qualified regis-
tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention

MELANCHOLY DEATH.—An inquest has been held
at the Barley Mow, in the village of Cosgrove, Northamp-
tonshire, before Mr. Arthur Weston, deputy-coroner, on
the body of the Rev. Charles Styles Drake. It appeared
from theevidence that deceased (who was a Fellow of Jesus
College, Cambridge, and resided with his father, Admiral
Drake, at Castle Thorpe, near Cosgrove) dined with Mr.
Francis Thursley, at Cosgrove Priory. He left there in his
usual health, at 20 minutes past 10 o'clock at night,
home to Castle Thorpe. His nearest way,was to
along the
walk
towing-path of the Grand Junction Canal, into which he
must have fallen. His hat was found the next morning
floating on the water, and the canal was dragged, but the
body was not recovered until 3 o'clock on Saturday after-
noon. The deceased had in his pocket when found, a watch,
money to the amount of £9 6d., a post-office order, and
various other papers. Be was 44 years of age, and
unmarried,

or some other family, in order that at 60 you
may have the reputation of wealth, and leave it
to others, perhaps nobody you know, at 70 odd ?
If you are the man we take you for, here's how to
do it. We will suppose that you have a good name,
either mercantile or aristocratic. If your name be
Smith—and there are more good men of that name
than of any other—perhaps your parents had the
forethougl,,t to give it a useful prefix,—Thornton
readySmit manner,hWhitm ore Smith, or Brabazon Smith, or
Somerset Smith. But what is there in a name ?
If your own won't do, or has unpleasant associations,
try another. No doubt you have a good, frank,
self-confiding and self-possessed, and
able to hold not only your own, but, on an emer-
gency—and what in your case may be much more
important—what is not your own. Well, then, how
shall we set about it ? We advise you against the
Stock-Exchange- They are a stern unforgiving race,
and they are apt to make an example of those who
'push on their fortunes without attending to their
reserve. Trade is now the safer field for enterprise ;
not the old huckstering process of buying in gross
and selling in detail ; or importing, or exporting,
or manufacturing. The same lot of articles, the
larger the better, may now be sold fifty times fifty

The article itself may speedily disappear from the
scene ; it may never arrive ; it may not even have
been sent ; it need not, indeed, ever have had any
existence at all. So long as a name suggests credit,
that is basis enough for this visionary traffic. It
is credit that wings the flight of these volatile
essences. It gives to airy nothings a speedy cir-
culation and a name. That name is sometimes
tallow, sometimes cotton, sometimes sugar, some-
times copper, as Queen Mab may tickle the ears of
the commercial aspirant. Just now, it would
seem, there is nothing like leather. Poor Dido, of
epic fame—though Virgil does not record it—was
evidently a speculator in this article. She cut a
single bull's hide into so made shreds that she was
able to surround with them a site large enough for
a small State. The proceedings in the Court of
Bankruptcy this week attest that the feat can be
surpassed in this far more ingenious and more
adventurous age.
Mr. Laurence, of the firm of Laurence, Morti"
more, and Co., London, and also of the firm of the
same names at Liverpool, moved in this high walk
of trade, and reigned as an emperor, with his lieu-
tenants and viceroys. With 11 provincial firms he
had mysterious dealings, the magnitude of which
is summed up; in the fact that the liabilities in the
two firms or firm—for they are practically one—
exceed a million, of which the greater part is due
from the 11 tributary firms. We believe we shall
not be far from the truth when W 6 say that when-
ever any of these firms, in town or in country,
bought leather, or promised to buy leather, or had
the option of buying leather, or intended to buy
leather, or wished to buy leather, or thought of
buying leathbr, or having no opportunity, inten-
tion, option, or wish to buy more leather, was in
want of money, they drew acceptances or bills one
upon another till out of nothing they dealt with
sums that make one's mouth water. As for leather,
it hardly appears, except with some very small
figure, much in the proportion of Falstaff's ha'porth
of bread to his forty shillings worth of sack. The
result of an account of 13 years with Mr. Mundy,
at Paris, was a debt of £54,000. In the year 1857
the London firm had goods from Mr. Mundy to the
amount of £63; in the year 1859 to the amount of
£65 ; while in the three successive years they
advanced to meet acceptances, or for simple accom-
modation, £36,900, £63,842, and £90,000.
Mr. Gibson was a tanner at Arbroath, who, from
a very natural desire to be higher up in this great
stream of wealth, took a tanyard in Godalming
from the London firm in 1854, and paid for it in
acceptances, his capital on startinc, being £4,800.
From this humble beginning, in the course of six
short years, and apparently with a very moderate
business—for the sales of leather on his account did
not exceed £l6,ooo—this country tanner owed the
London firm £96,500 on bills, and £14,000 on the
cash balance. Mr. Herbert Smith was a tanner of
Bermondsey, and at the time o the bankruptcy
owed, nominally, £22,371.
~. I this case the
it
visionary character of the busine s is diversified by
some peculiar features, which i vest it with even
more romance than usually attaches to the leather
trade. Mr. H. Smith had an aged father, whom
he expected to leave him £20,000 ; he had bought
for £5OO a share in a Spanish mine, which had
suddenly developed, and which stands in the
accounts between him and the London firm it the
estimated value of £16,000. Notwithstanding
these expectations and development's, his debts rose
to £72,000, and he appears to have been incon-
venienced by the fact oozing , out through the
clerks. His relations with MrAaurence and his
partners were of a very pleasant and easy character,
and we may any of us be too happy to meet with
so obliging a creditor ; for, on a hint from Mr.
Laurence, Mr. Thomas, the chief clerk, wined off
£60,000 of that debt, by transferring it to a firm
invented for the occasion. Another debtor, Mr.
Rider, originally a clerk in the " house," set up in
Paris, in the year 1856, with a capital of £l,OOO,
supplied to him by the London firm. The result
at the date of the bankruptcy, four years after, was
more than £lO,OOO due upon Mr. Rider's bills. To
the eventual insolvency of these gentlemen and
their other provincial or continental allies, and the
difficulty which Messrs. Laurence found in supply-
ing cash to debtors who supplied nothing in return,
the bankruptcy was at last " due ;" and our more
simple readers will think it was due, in one sense,
-ong before. _ _ _

To the uninitiated the great wonder always is,
why does the game stop at all ? Why has it any
limits ? Why did not the same process enable these
gentlemen to manufacture any fabulous amount
of credit, convert it into hard cash, secure a timely
retreat, and laugh at the world for the rest of their
days ? The way in which' they do business, and
in which the commercial world allows business
to be done, admits of any figures whatever, and
it seems almost gratuitous modesty' to be con-
tent with a million. Mr. Laurence considers him-
self insulted when he is asked a question about the
accounts—" Ask Mr. Thomas ; he will tell you all
about them." All that he had to do was to regu-
late the number of bills from the 11 tributary firmato be discounted in one week, the distribution of
the bills among different bankers, the just propor-
tion of the firm's debts among those bankers, andtr
the appearance which it was, proper the country
debtors should make on the books of the firm.
Laurence's strong point was the "financial

large sums to the traders for whom they were
beginning to quake, and they thought it all right.

when by such simple devices it is possible to con-

a ground the ball does not still roll. Why are not
all these gentlemen still drawing on one another,
and why does not the Maelstrom still swallow and

is of opinion that the process has not had fair play
in his case. But for some unfortunate circum-
stances he and all the affiliated firms would still be
paying 20s. in the pound ; and of course on a still
larger scale. This is the point to which the atten-
tion of the inquiring and speculative mind will
naturally direct itself. Why does not the great
firm of Messrs. Streatfield and Co. still send out its
emissaries, establish Continental agencies, and affi-
liate provincial tan-yards ? Why does it not still

CIALDINI'S HEAD TAETERs,
IsIOLA DI GAETA, Mov. 20.
In order that you may appreciate the , difficulties
General Menabrea has to contend with in carrying
out the siege operations of this place, I int ist enter
into some details. This town, which is .divided
into two distinct parts—the lower and the rapper,
the first of which is called Castellone, the ether
Mola—is situated on the smiling shores of the
gulf, amongst picturesque groves of orange and
olive trees. The Formian Villa, the favourite re-
sidence of Cicero, stood below the terraces of the
hill where the upper part of the modern town NO
been built. The main street runs parallel to the
shore of the gulf, and leads to the road towards"
Gaeta. At about half a mile from the town this
road divides into two ; one following the Shores of
the sea, the other branching off in the direction of
the mountains. The latter is the Via Consularis to
Rome. For awhile it skirts the foot of Mlonte
Conca, and then rises up through the defiles of the
.mountains, where the town of Itri stands. It 18
from the point at which the main road to Gaeta
branches off towards Itri that Monte Conca turns
on the left, in the direction of the Gulf of Gaeta,
forming a narrow valley, which is screened by its
broad flank. There is no road, for indeed the
paths which skirt the foot of the mountains do not
deserve the name. It is by following the foot of
Monte Conca that we reach the two other emi-
nences called the Capucini and Monte Sant Agate,
which command the rounded hill at the base of
which stands Gaeta. This hill, which is now
°ailed della Torre d' Orlando, thus forms an inte-
gral part of the famous fortress, and enters into its
system of defence. Batteries over batteries have
been thrown up and dug in its flank, so that it can
at the same time command the narrow defiles of
Monte Conca and the shores of the open sea. It is
only by silencing these formidable batteries that
the right side of the fortress can be approached by
a besieging army. But to place guns andmortars
e-, the heights of the Capucini and Monte Sant
Agate, you must begin by raking a road to them,
and road there was none. This, therefore, is what
Gen. Menabrea is now busily engaged in construct-
ing. One of these roads leads from the Via Consu-
bins of Itri to the seashore, on which the Borgo
stands; the other skirts Monte Conca, and joins the
former at the foot of Monte Sant Angelo. No one
who has not visited this country can judge of the
difficulties of this undertaking. The base of the val-
ley, and the foot of the mountain through which
these two roads must pass, form a continuous up and
down, and are obstructed by stones of an enormous
size. The working of the ground is rendered still
more difficult by the rainy season, which has already'
begun. In consequence of the abundant rains the
soldiers are obliged to work in the mud ; and the
soil is so slippery that they can scarcely stand on
their feet. General Codrington was really surprised
when he was told by Menabrea that the two miles
of roads already achieved had been the work of only
ten days. These roads are constructed by parties of
soldiers of the line, who get extra pay of two soldi ar
day, and a glass of brandy besides. It is noticeable
that when the working parties, which are every two
days exchanged, belong to the 9th and 10th Regts.,
in which the Lombard and Piedmontese element
predominates, the work is more quickly done than
when the majority of the working men belong to
the more southern provinces of the peninsula. The
superiority of the northern element is thus proved
in an unmistakeable manner. The Neapolitans
within the walls of Gaeta are perfectly aware that
the Sardinians are working on the other side of
Monte Conca, and one of their occupations is to
throw now and then shells in that direction ; but
if we except a few cases of wounded no serious
Tosses have been inflicted on the Sardinian army.
But whilst the projectiles of the enemy are doing
but little harm to the working parties, or to the
out-posts, on this side, they are destroying the
houses of Borgo, which, as I said before, stands on
the shore of the gulf, at about half a mile from the
gates of Gaeta. This village is occupied by a bat-
talion of Piedmontese Bersaglieri, but batte-
ries have not been erected, nor will they
be. It is, therefore, a useless work of destruction
the Neapolitans are engaged in when they shell
the houses of this place. The population has
naturally emigrated to this town or the neigh-
bouring villages, but some poor fishermen who had
not the courage to leave their homes were sacrificed
on Saturday morning, together with a woman and
a child. A shell having burst at the door of a cottage,
six persons were killed and two greatly injured by
the explosion.
It is indeed a cowardly act of barbarity to shell g
village which had already been sacked by the dis-
orderly Neapolitan and Bavarian soldiery, when
they were, driven out of this town of Al But it.
seems that Francis 11. wants to prove to Europe
that ho well deserved the nickname conferred :Ton
him after the bombardment of Palermo. He is
the worthy son of his royal father. You must not
forget that the Sardinians have never answered,
even by a single shot, the fire from Gaeta. Nor
could they do it, for not a piece of artillery has yet
been mounted against the besieged town. It will
be at least a fortnight before General Menabrea is
aide to carry out his plan of attack. The roads
must be finished, and then the batteries must be
constructed and mounted with their powerful artil-
lery. The Piedmontese general intends to open fire
with at least 90 guns, and to endeavour by thi
means to speed terror amongst the demoralised
garrison, who in all probability will compel the
King to leave the place or capitulate. If,
how-
ever, the garrison can get under shelter, then Gaeta
may be able to resist for many months more, should
the French fleet persist in protecting it by prevent-
ing the Sardinian admiral from attacking the for-
tress by sea.
To
,judge of the work the Sardinians have before
them, you must bear in mind that the famous siege
of the French under Massone, in 1806, lasted six
months. The French were then almost in the eame
position that the Sardinians are now. Your fleet
prevented the French vessels from attacking Gaeta
by sea, and the besieged town could thus be pro-
vided with stores and ammunition. Prince Hess, of
Philipstadt, you remember, refused to give up Gaeta,
and decided to oppose the French general. On the
13th of February, when Massena made his appear-
ance before Gaeta, Prince Hess had a garrison of
2,900 regular troops and 2,000 convicts ; 174
pieces of artillery defended the place, and he could
dispose of one frigate, 12 gunboats, and about as
many transports. These means of defence were
afterwards increased, so that when the place
was compelled to capitulate in the month of July
its garrison amounted to 6,200 men ; it had 178
guns, 2 brigs, 3 frigates, and 24 gunboats. Mali"
sena began the attack with 4,000 men and 20 pieces
of artillery ; but producing no effect, these me_ans
were greatly increased within a period of live_
months. At the end of June he had 134 guns and
12,192 men at his command. During this memo-
.rable siege the French fired against Gaeta 68,700
shots, and the besieged answered with more than
100,000. Now if such were the difficulties Massena
bad to contend with when he had only to deal
with 178 guns and a garrison 6,200 strong, what
must be those the Sardinians will meet with now
that Gaeta is defended by a garrison of 18,000 men
and by more than 800 pieces of artillery, whose
number is daily increased by the besieged ? I
will enumerate these batteries to give you some
idea of the strength of the place. There are the
Trinity bastion, with five tiers of guns ; that of the
Queen, with sixty 60-pounders ; then those of St.
Andrew of Brescia, of Philipstadt, of Capelletti,
and of the citadel, where I was shut up with my
fellow-prisoners. Besides these there are the fol-
lowing :—Annunziata, Favorita, Ferdinada, San
Giuseppe, Santa Maria., Del Porto, Guastaferro,
Torion Francese, Trabacco,Carolina, Duca Calabria,
Fico, Conca, Falsabracca, Gran
Centro Guardia, and lastly, Guardia, Poterna,
Trinceramento four more called the
of Porta di Terra. You see what a
hard job the Piedmontese have in hand, and if the
siege follows
a regular course how long it will take
a
to carry it to successful result.
Now the investment of the place has been accom-
plished, for the besieged do not dare to stir in
spite of their imposing number. The Sardinians
have occupied all the positions of Borg°,
Sant
Agata, Monte Tortono, Monte Erta, Monte Lom-
bone, and that of Capucini, which will enable them
to erect their batteries.
