NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health 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-
pedim,ents 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 chiefly 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 an
some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time

almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the

The consequerire 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

council went immediately to the Governor, and, he being

On Saturday the polling for'eandidates for seats
in the Court of Common Council of the city of Lon-
don began and ended in the few wards in which
the representation was contested, and in which a
poll had been demanded. The Lord Mayor pre-
, sided from 10 o'clock until 4at the polling for the
ward of Langbourn, of which his Lordsnip is the
Alderman, and iii which there was a brisk contest,
resulting in the return of Mr. Medwin, bootmaker,
a new candidate, along
with deputy Unwin, and
Messrs. Webber, Sully, Snelling, Symonds, Howard,
and Crossley. who represented the ward during the
; past year, and the rejection of Mr. Bache, who had
sat nine years in the Council. In 'the ward of Cheap
,
the poll resulted in the return of Messrs Connell,
Fenning (deputy), Thorpe, Houghton, Stewart and
Tegg, five of the old members; Messrs. Bennett
and Gibbins, new candidates; and in Mr. Barnes,
one of the old set, losing his seat. In Farringdon
Within the contest lay between Mr. Rudkin, who
sat last year, and Mr. Millard, Mr. Rudkin. being
' returned by a large majority, with his former col-
leagues, Messrs. Holt and Virtue (deputies),
Maclauchlan, Kelday, Dolland, C. Phillips, Young,
Reed, Glover, Wheeler, B. Barnard, Bengough, and
Morris. The contest for Farringdon Without re-
sulted in the rejection of Mr. Payne, who sat last
year, and the return of Messrs. G. Walter, Obbard
(deputy), Stanborough, Anderton R
Cotterell, Lawley, Barnard, Butler, Ross, Scamell,
Bedford, Butcher, Langham, Harvey, and Pedler,
nearly all of whom previously represented the ward.
In the ward of Lime-street, Messrs. Cork (deputy),
Simpson, Symonds, and Harris, were returned ; Mr.
Wheatley withdrawing from the contest without
going to a poll. In Walbrook, Mr. T. Rowley was
elected in the place of Mr. Ford Hale (resigned),
who had represented it for the long period of 34
years. Various questions affecting the interests of
the citizens were mooted and discussed at the seve-
ral wardmotes, 25 in number, held on Friday and
Saturday. In thit of Aldersgate Mr. Fowler
moved and carried a resolution recognising the ne-
cessity of erecting in the densely peopled parts of
the city, baths, washhouses, and mcdel lodging
houses for the industrious poor. At all the ward-
motes a memorial from the London Temperance
Association was read, praying them to contribute
towards the establishment of drinking fountains by
the imposition of a small ward-rate. At the ward-
mote of Billingsgate Mr. Overall, jun., and Mr.
Robertson called attention to the crying necessity
for improving the approaches to the great metropo-
litan fish-market, and pressed the subject on the
consideration of the Corporation. In tho meeting
for the ward of Coleman-street, Deputy Davies
alluded to a rumour of an attempt, in a future Cor-
poration Reform Bill, to reduce the number of
Common Councilmen, which, he said, smacked of
the days of Toryism, and be objected to such a
project, besides, on the authority that " in the mul-
titude of counsellors there is wisdom." Corpora-
tion reform in the wardmote of Bread-street was
designated by Mr. Maynard as a bugbear, and by
Mr. Smith as a piece of clap-trap to alarm the
citizens. The continually augmenting traffic in the
city thoroughfares and the necessity for its regula-
tion were also noticed. Mr. Tibbats and Mr. Hop-
gcod, in the wardmote of Bishopsgate, commented,
the former on the increase of street robberies, and
the latter on that of immorality, fostered by the
existence of houses of ill-fame. Dr. Abraham
carried a resolution urging the Common Council
to make known, in the public interest, the condi-
tions on which the people may avail themselves of
the Act, recently passed, for preventing the
adulteration of articles of food and drink.
With respect to the vacancy in the office
of Alderman for the ward of Candlewick,
consequent on the recent death of Sir George
Carroll, a very numerously - signed requisi-
tion was presented to Mr. Dakin, the deputy of the
ward, on Saturday, inviting him to present himself
as a candidate, to;:which he at once assented, and
his election is regarded as a matter of course from
the good repute in which he is held. In the Cord-
wainers' Wardmote, Alderman Salomons, M.P., in-
timated that the future appropriation of the coal
tax would be brought under the notice of Parlia
ment next session, and that in all probability an
Act for its renewal, with some modification, would
pass the Legislature. The revenue from coals, he
added, would to some considerable extent likely be
applied to the embankment of the Thames, but he
expressed a hope that a portion of it would be ap-
propriated to general improvements, such as taking
off the toll upon bridges, which were now virtually
closed to the public, while the streets were crowded
to excess.

ST. GEORGE'S-IN-28.E-BAST.

-

(From the John Bull.)
We have received a copy of Mr. King's second
letter to the Bishop of London, just issued by Mr.
Masters, which is designed as "a public and solemn
protest" against the conduct of the bishop towards
its atthor and his parishioners, and resumes the
history of the St. George's riots from the point
where the other letter (reviewed in our columns of
April 14) left off; but as they are but too ►ell
known to our readers, there can be no necessity
to recapitulate them. The interest of the letter
centres entirely in the account it gives of the cir-
cumstances under which Mr. King was induced
to leave his parish temporarily. The proposition
to leave was first made in May at Ely ; but by
whom is not distinctly stated, though, after a dis-
cussion with an eminent prelate, it was refused.
It was resumed in June by Dr. Stanley and Mr.
Hughes, who made the offer at the rectory, through
Mrs. King, that Mr. Hansard should take charge of
the parish during Mr. King's absence. Mr• King
says :

On July 2 I wrote to Mr. Hughes as follows
upon this subject:—
" You know something of the grounds which
forbid me from feeling confidence in the acts of the
bishop towards my church and its services, in the
event of my absence ; but I have lately held a con-
ference with Dr. Phillimore, Messrs. Coleridge,
Prideaux, and Stephens (whose joint opinion upon
the entire case has been taken by the English
Church Union), and they all hold unanimously
that the so-called monitions of the bishop are not
worth the paper on which they are written.
" Under these circumstances I should of course
feel bound to •resist the carrying on of any such
monitions, either to myself or to the churchwardens
in future, whilst Mr. Hansard might act otherwse.
Of course if he would engage to conduct the ser-
vices of my church precisely on their present foot-
ing, and not make any alteration whatever without
my concurrence, this difficulty would be removed.
" Now, I must beg my readers to bear in mind
this point, which was indeed now the single obsta-
cle in the way of my accepting this offer. I was
resolved that I neither would nor could resign my
charge unless I should receive a. distinct guarantee
upon this point."
Some unavoidable delays took place, but ulti-
mately Mr. Hughes submitted a sketch of an
agreement to be entered into between the rector
and Mr. Hansard :

" Upon the clause which made this agreement
binding for 12 months I made the following obser-
♦ation—' I object to this both on Mr. Hansard's
part and on my own—it is not fair to bind him by
this from accepting any other preferment, and for
myself I must require a power of returning at any
time before the expiration of 12 months, in the
event of the bishop requiring Mr, Hansard to break
this engagement. What is to prevent the bishop,
when my back is turned, from sending a so-called
monition to sweep away the choir or altar, or any-
thing else ?'

tion, Hshuipghwesasassquurietde

Stanley had gained from you your reluctant con-
sent to 'the terms of the agreement in question,' and
that he (Dr. Stanley) was ready to sign this agree-
ment Mr. Hansard making a remark confirmatory
as witness (as he did a few days afterwards) ;
o
of this, I at once stated that all my difficulty about
resigning
my charge into Mr. Hansard's hands was
removed, and that I was ready at any time to do so."
Mr. King, it appears, had a letter from the bishop,
dated Nov. 14, saying that he thought the time for
peaceful concessions was come, when he put himself
in communication with the rectors of four neigh-
bouring parishes, viz., Stepney, Poplar,
.Wapping,
and Shadwell, asking them to advise him on the
subject, as stated in our columns at the time, trd onf
the 16th ult. wrote to Mr. Hughes compining o
the tone of the bishop's letter, after he had guar-
anteed to preserve the status qu ? ; but
trhee-
ceiving no answer, on the ;23d. he informed u
on
bishop that he must beg to decline entering. p
e.
the question of concession of points of ritual,
bishopreceived,
issued fresh so-called monitions, whicl Mr. King
says, on the highest legal authority, are waste
paper. A letter from Mr. King, in which he de-
clines nominating a curate, and leaves the provision
of his services in the bishop's hands, is published.

From Western Australia, also, we have equally
encouraging accounts. A private exploring
party has penetrated to a distance of 100 miles
due east of York, finding a well-watered and
grassy country ; and the natives offered to lead
them 100 miles further in the same direction,
promising that they would bring them to a
splendid grassy country, with abundance of
horse-feed all the way. Such a distance, in
a direction due east from the coast, would place
the traveller directly to the north of Eyre's
desolate coast tract from Adelaide to King George's
Sound. This would lead us to infer that the fearful
region through which he pasted was confined to
the coast, and that the country became more ha-
bitable to the north. Eyre had been turned
aside from a more northerly course by a thicket, the
extent of which he was unaware ; and his long and
unprecedented j ourney, made through the most for-
bidding tract of land on the face of the earth, has
doubtless-strengthened the belief in the existence
of a great central desert, which was supposed, on
the south coast, to:come down to the water's edge.
Of the vast consequences of the smallest infor-
mation, the slightest hint, in exploring unknown
regions, we, have numerous instances; and Eyre
himself, when he turned from the cheerless region
of Mount Hopeless, passed almost within a stone's '
throw of permanent water and pasture.
With the assurance that there are no large deserts
to be crossed, the complete survey of the whole
continent may be safely accomplished, with the
assistance of one or two principal routes, or base
lines, if we may so speak. Mr. Stuart's track from
south to north undoubtedly furnishes one such base
line; and if Mr. Burke will adopt a more westerly
direction, so as to fall in with the explorations of
the Brothers Gregory on the western coast, nothing
more would be wanting towards clearing up
all doubts as to the main features of the in-
terior. The recent researches of Messrs. Babbage,
Hack, Parry, and Major Warburton on the western
and northern confines of South Australia, when
considered in connection with the present disco-
veries of Mr. Stuart, render it more than probable
that the vast region lying between South Australia
and Western Australia—between Mr. Stuart's late
route and the western coast—is suitable, with per •
haps some exceptional districts, for immediate occu-
pation. There is reason to suppose that Eyre, in
forcing his way from Adelaide to Xing George's
Sound, unluckily hit on the most desolate of all ways
and that had he abandoned the seashore and
thrown himself on the interior he would have
encountered fewer difficulties. Indeed, Eyre's ex-
pedition was undertaken on the supposition that
a fertile district existed to the north-west of
Adelaide ; and at a meeting of the Royal Geogra-
phical Society in 1858, we find Colonel Gawler,
Governor of South Australia during the period of
Eyre's explorations, stating the reasons for such a
belief, as principally, the constantly observed change
in the temperature of the wind from hot to cool and
moist, as it veered from north to west. " I was," he
continues, "so anxious that Mr. Eyre should take
that direction, that I pressed him almost unreason-
ably to it. But his heart, rendered hopeless by
Lake Torrens, was then set on the Swan River,
and he took that ever-memorable tremendous
journey." Nor were these symptoms confined to
Adelaide. Eyre himself, when half-way on his
immense journey, after he had rounded the Great
Bight, and endured the scorching blasts which met
him, was surprised to find the wind become cool
and moist as it shifted to the north ; and he writes :
" There was another thing connected with my pre-
sent position which equally surprised me, and
was quite inexplicable. Whilst engaged one
morning in rambling about the encampment as
far as I could venture away, I met with several
flights of a very large description of parrot,
quite unknown to me, coming apparently from the
north-east." There are therefore fair reasons
for supposing that the vast regions to the north of
Eyre's route contains fertile tracts. We believe
the Royal Geographical Society have for some time
entertained the proposal of completing the explo-
ration of the north-west coast from Shark's Bay to
the Fitzroy, on some such plan as was carried out
in the expedition to the Victoria ; and now that
the interior of Australia shows signs of being some-
