The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
'in the Reproductive System during. the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend, It also points out how all the attributes of Alan-
brod can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, Prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou, functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.

At home for consultation daily from 10 till 2, and from 6
till 8, either personally or by letter.-37, Bedford-square.

(SPECIAL NOTICE.)
Dr. Culverwell is the only legally qualified medical practi-
tioner living of that name, and can be consulted (only As
‘I7QTC,)

Extraordinary exertions are being used at Chat-
ham to complete the Royal Oak, the first of the
iron-plated 51-gun screw steamers building at that
dockyard, and from the progress already made only
a very few months will elapse before she is afloat.
Yesterday the whole of the caulkers belonging to
the establishment were placed on: her, in addition
to whom she has about 200 shipwrights at work
about her. The massive beams for the bearers of
the boilers were successfully got on board yester-
day, and already the greater number of beams for
the main and lower decks have also been fixed. A
very great improvement in the construction of the
stern portion of the ship has been introduced by
the Controller of the Navy in the abolition of the
aperture between the stern and rudder-post,'
for elevating the screw. Instead of the open-
ing hitherto found on board screw steamers
the Royal Oak will be furnished with a
smaller circular wall aperture, which will
only admit of the screw being raised as high as
the main deck. This alteration will add con-
siderably to the strength of the after portion of
the frigate, and at the same time will admit of the
abolition of the "yoke" to the rudder-post and the
substitution of the straight tiller, this, of itself,
being no slight improvement. It is intended to
cover the Royal Oak with armour plates from stem
to stern, making her superior in this respect to the
Defence, 18, and the other iron-plated steamers,
which have only their broadsides plated. This
decision on the part of the Admiralty will admit of
the shot-proof bulkheads in the fore and after por-
tion of the existing iron steamers being dispensed
with in the Royal Oak and other ships of her class.
The iron plates on the broadsides of the frigate will
be of an uniform thickness of 41 inches, tapering to
3 inches fore and aft. The armour-plates will be
carried to 4 feet below the water-line, to prevent
any chance of a shot striking her in that direction,
and will be laid on 12-inch teak planking.

Recent advices from China announce the death
of Commander John Murray Cooke, commanding
Her Majesty's screw troopship Simoom, on board
his vessel at Woosutag on the 4th of August. The
body of the deceased officer was conveyed to Shang-
hai and buried in the English cemetery there on
tho 6th of August. The officers of both services at
Shanghai at the time attended the funeral as a last
mark of respect to one who in life was a thorough
English seaman. Commander Cooke commanded
the Simoom on the 18th of December, 1856, since
which time she has been incessantly employed in
the transport of troops, invalids, and stores in India
and China.

Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth of
his Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto, the Portu-
guese corvette Bartolerneo Dias, flagship of the
Duke, in dock at Portsmouth, hoisted the Por-
tuguese standard at each masthead in honour
of the day. At noon a Royal salute was fired
from her Majesty's ship Victory, and from the gar-
rison batteries. The Chevalier Van Den Bergh,
Portuguese Consul at the port, paid a congratula-
tory visit to the captain and officers on board the
corvette. On Wednesde.y evening the officers of
the corvette were enter tained at the Consulate.
The Bartolomeo Dias will be undocked to-day, her
Majesty's ship Hero, 00, Captain Ryder, taking her
place.
The paddlewheel steam-sloop Geyser, 6, Com-
mander Jackson, from Greenock, Liverpool, and
Falmouth, with condemn ed stores from the Majes-
tic, 80, and supernumeraries, arrived in Plymouth
Sound on Wednesday evening. The stores were
sent into Hamoaze yesterday morning by the
steam-tug Conflance, which also conveyed the
supernumeraries to the filag-ship Impregnable, and
returned with others to the Geyser, which left Ply-
mouth in the afternoon.

Sails are bent on boa rd the screw steamship Cen-
turion, 80, Capt. Rogers, C. 8., at Plymouth, and
every effort is being made to prepare her for foreign
service.

Rear-Admiral Superintendent Sir Thomas S.
Pasky, struck his flag on Wednesday on board the
guardship of sailing ordinary Wellington, 72, in
Hamoaze, for 14 days' absence.
