Just published, the 19th Edition, price 4s.
AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric-
tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis-
taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety
of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret
vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes.
In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in
the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state
of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency
these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption,
Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually
characterise the earlier_stages of these distressing diseases, for the
Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which,
during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive
practice, has invariably proved successful ; with concluding remarks
on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

‘. Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to. be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review.

TORY FABRICATIONS.—In our second impression
last week, we stated, on the authority of the Standard, that
a proclamation had been issued for the assembling of Par-
liament on the 4th of February ; and we asked how it hap-
pened that no Ministerial evening journal had the same in-
formation ? We never doubted that the proclamation had
been issued ; for the Standard published as a leading
article what purported to be a verbatim copy of the Royal
document, which was to appear that evening in an Extra-
ordinary Gazette : of course we never dreamed that the
Standard had fabricated it. But so it was : there was no
such proclamation issued on Saturday, none on any .subse-
quent day ; no Extraordinary Gazette was published ; but
on Tuesday a proclaMatiOn differently worded was published
in the ordinary Gazette. The verbal discrepancy was of
no great consequence, but it was sufficient to prove that
the Standard had copied the form of some previous procla-
matiOn, and then palmed off this copy for an original offi-
cial document. The courier on Wednesday put the
question directly to the Standard ; but caught in the fact,
and unquestionably guilty, the Standard had not a syllable
to reply to this Charge ; which implies something worse than
"-O'Connellism." To be occasionally rather coarse, is not
quite so disreputable as to fabricate Royal proclamations.—

NEWLY-DISCOVERED COPPER MINES. —We
learn from an intelligent correspondent that there has lately
been discovered, on-the property of Lord Dinorben, in the
parish of Llanwenilwofo, Anglesea, and in the immediate
neighbourhood of the Parys and Mona mines, a very rich
vien of copper. It is in many parts almostin- a pure state,
and much purer than even the copper coinage of 1799.
This discovery is very seasonable, as the Parys and Mona
mines, which have so long been a source of immense wealth
to the proprietors, and of profitable employment to many
'hundreds of poor families, were become nearly exhausted.—
