This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sLquencel, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that those complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent Isis seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA WERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

WRECK of the ORION STEAM I

POItTPATRICK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19.—Thislriorn•
jug, Wednesday, the-19,h, I arrived at Portpatrick, ahe
scene of this catastrophe. The town iS situate I, on a
bold, rocky coast; the steam-ship Orion is sunk about
500 3 ards to the north of the mouth of the-harbour;
the top parts of the fore, main, and wizen masts and part
of the funnel appear above water, that hi all than fs
vi ible, and part of the paddle-boxes at low water. The
rock on which she struck on Tuesday morning, at one
a.m., is but a f..v 3 ards from the shore, the current carried
her off it about 300 3 ards' seaward, where she seek. A
goal tar of an hour elapsed from the time she struck till
sne went down. When she struck the passengera got
into the boats; ilastead of lowering them down they cut
the ropes and the passengers fell iiitathe:water, many of
whom were drowned, some saved by the approach of a
small h. at from Portpatrick. The chief =ate Informed
me he and the captain held on by the rigging till taken
off by a small bear. Yesterday upwards of4wenty
corpses came ashore, all mostly cabin passengers, lying
in a respectable house under; the care of the superina
tendent of police. The Princess Royal, one of the com-
pany's steamers, called at four A.M. this morning, on her
way to Glasgow, and took a .number of the surviving,
passengers on board, who were clothed by the inhabit-
ants of Portpatrick in the best manner possible, many of
them hiving no time to put on their clothes. Between
8 and 9 o'clock, A M. the steam-ship' Tartar, froni
gow; the proterty.of Messrs, J. and G. Burns, the pro-
prittora of the Orion, 'arrived *ith'one of the Messrs.
Baum and-eev‘rala-1110;111atives of the deceased MS-
wagers, itlo went and iitintned the &ad
bodies, and, some found their friends among them, • One
of them was the Episcopal minister of Paisley, who lost
his daughter. Another gentleman pointed out to me
amongo the number, who was
the passage; she was

perform of looking after the remains of his distinguished
brother, Professor Burns, of the College of Glasgow, one
loporoi proprietor,
of the deceased passengers. The Tartar steam-ship
brought between 20 and 30 coffins. About 12 at noon the
Defiance steam-tug arrived from Liverpool. In walking
up and down the quay the melancholy spectacle of coffins
carried by the seamen to the steam-boats, containing the
bodies of the drownei persons, presented itself every
now and then. I understand it was the captain's watch
on deck when the sad event took place. When he sighted
Portpatrick lighthouse he left the vessel in charge of the
see 'LI mate and went to bed, with orders to be wakened
if anything particular needed his presence. I spokewitia
the second mate, who informed me Portpatrick was
visible enough, aad no mist, except a dark cicud, he said,
which stood over a flagstaff standing on a rock celled
Coolesmy Creigs, situated arn the' northrrn entrance of
the harbour. • I inquired his reason fur standing su close
to shore? his auswer was to keep out of he current; when
he saw the ruck ahead he ran to waken thecaptain, when
she struea. •An old gentleman informed me his niece
saw the Orion from her window, which fronts the har-
bour, and wondered to see the steamer so close to shore.
I had a conversation•with one of the seamen, wbo said
ho never passed so near the Mull of Galloway light-
house, and inquired of the second mate the reason,
who aoswcred bacallSo of the currents, but
who said she was too near. From corm:-
sations I had with several pc.)ple, I understand the
night wag not dark and the sea perfectly calm. There
were 112. cabin passengers, and between 40 and 50 steer-
age ones ; the supposition is from 60 to 100 persons
were drowned. The ProcuratonFiscal of the district is
making an investigation into the case, and more parti-
culars will be learned. As yet no attempts have been
made to get out any of the passengers on board; this
probably will be cline by divers. The next considera-
tion will be the cargo and the ship; all expedition will
he needed,. as she may soon break up on such a rugged
shore.

GLASGOW, THUnSDAY Ennstisto.—TheTartar steamer
returned this morning from Purtpatrick, bringing with
ber the remainder of the passengers who had been saved,
as well as several dead bodies, including that of Professor
Burns, of ,Glasgow College, Ste. Tho total number
saved amounts to fully 130, but nothing decisive can be
said as to the numbers who have perished, for the pas-
enger-list, the only jecord, is still in the ship. It is pos-
sible, therefoee, tlyet many passengers, such as tourists
and foreignerss'on board, may not be inquired after for.
months. The surviving passengers themselves estimate
that the number lost cannot be less than 100. Only 23
bodie;s have been recovered, and it is possible that not
many more will he found, for the currents are rapid at
Pot tpatiiek, and might soon carry the remainder out to
sea. The relatives of those missing, including a brother
of Mr. McNeill, of Coilunsay, are at rorti.atrick,
noxiously searching for the bodies of their friends.
Many most harassing incidents have occurred. A Mr.
Splatt, from England, with live of a family (principally
daughters) took their passage by the Orion, intending to
sail tc-day from the Clyde by the ship Admiral for
Australia; but all pet ished excepting the father, who i.
'left behind lamenting." Mr. Scott, a gentleman who
had acquired a competency in Canada, and intended to
settle iu Scotland, was on board, with his lady, his
daughter, and his sister-in-law. He was joined at
Liverpool by a young relative, Miss Jameson, who was
returning from a boarding school to her parents in Glas-
gow. Mr. Scott and all his imrcediate party is drowned,
but Miss Jameson has escaped.
The bodies rescued have been deposited in an empty
tenement in the immediate vicinity of the harbour, and
present one of the most ghastly and melancholy spec-
tacles we have ever beheld. The bodies claimed are
those of Mrs. Splatt and hdr two daughters, Ann and
Mary Ann; Mr. Marchbank, traveller to Messrs. Clap-
perton and Co., Glasgow; Mr. Bennet, Chester; Mr.
Ingo, Liverpool; Mr. Robby; two children of the name
of Fraser, from New Brighton, Liverpool—one of these
was an infant about 12 months, and the other a child of
about three years; Mr. Ross, Glasgow; Alexander Gra-
ham, the steward; John Pearce, Liverpool; Mrs.
,M.Neill and two daughters; Harriet McKenzie Peughe,
a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Peughe of the Episcopalian
chapel, Paisley ; and Dr. BUrns.
Perhaps we may not be able to give a better descrip-
tion of this fatal shipwreck then by transcribing the
very brief statements which we have elicited from eye-
witnesses of the calamity.
David Armstrong, a fisherman at Portpatrick, states,
" That being in ill Leath he could not rest; and on Mon-
day evening was etandieg looking out of his window,
which overlooks the bay, when he heard the noise of a
steamer approaching. Wishing to sea her piss, he was
surprised to observe her lights off the south pier, and he
concluded that the vessel must be making for the har-
bour. lie was still more alarmed at seeing her pass on,
as by the course ' she was steering he feared she would
strike on the opposite rocks. He then hurriedly put on
his clothes and ran out with all speed, but before he got
out of the house he heard the crash and the yell that
followed the striking of the noble ship. Ile rushed into
the street, and giving the alarm that a vessel was on the
rock,, ran down to the harbour and took his boat from
the shore. Mr. Hannoy, the superintendent of public
work., immediately came to him, and sent word of the
event to Captain Hawes, the Admiralty agent, by whose
exertions twelve boats were speedily manned, before
any communication was made from the sinking vessel to
the shore. He then put to sea and went out to the ves-
sel. He managed to pick up the captain and two other
gentlemen, who were clinging to the mainmast. Ile also
wished to bring off the mate, but he would not come down
at first, because he wished to see if any more could pos-
sibly be, saved. He then came ashore, and assisted in
picking up and carrying the bodies to proper places, and
in endeavouring to resuscitate those in whom signs of
life appeared. The weather was a little hazy, but not
sufficiently so to prevent him seeing the steamer pass,
nor from. :seeing the lighthouse or. the south pier, ar.d
the rocks on the north side of the bay. Coming from
the southward, the vessel might have seen the light-
house, although a vessel ao near the shore from the
northward might not have seen it."
Mr. John Cameron, commercial traveller with Messrs.
John Clapperton and Co., Trongate, says—"l went on
board the Orion, at Liverpool, with Mr. W. Marchbank,
also of Messrs. Clapperton's house. It was a beautiful
afternoon,
and we spent it pleasantly on board, in com-
pany with Mr. Archibald, of Alloa, and Mr. John
Hume, wool merchant, now lost. The steamer was ex-
cessively crowded with passengers, a large number of them
being ladies. Every berth was occupied, as well as the seats
and sofas. I walked the deck with Mr. Archibald until,
I think, about 1 o'clock in the morning, when I went
down to my berth on one of the sofas in the saloon.
The weather was then fine, and, indeed, it could not be
'said to be dark during the whole night. I cannot say
that I saw the land before retiring, but we were convers-
ing together and not looking out for it. I threw off
only my coat and bocts and laid down on the cushion,
amongst the others, and immediately above the sofa on
which Mr. Marchbank was asleep. I think about 20
minutes after I went down, and berore I had fallen
asleep, I felt the vessel grate' along her side or bottom
as it she was being ripped up with a saw, and at the
same time the engines stopped. I laid a minute or so
wondering what this could mean, as I had no notion
that the Orion was to stop till she came to Greenock. A
number of gentlemen who had heen sleeping around put
up their
,heads on feeling the shock, and a few of
them sprang from their berths and ran up on deck
in their shirts. Up to this time there was no intima-
tion given from the deck that there was anything
wrong. I then also got up, pulled on my boots, and at
the ssme time awcke Mr. Marchbank—telling him to
get up, as I was afraid there was something wrong.
Hurrying on my cost and great-coat, I went on deck,
leaving Mr. Marchbank in the act of rising to follow me,
as I understood. On going up the stair I met the pas.
sengers running
down again, but I passed on without re-
mark. There was great confusit n on deck at this time,
and a number of people gathered on the side next the
land, which was distinctly seen from the ship, and I
heard some ono cry, Lower the Moats; she is sinking!'
From the numbers gathered on this side of the ship I

boat on this side, who I think were mostly 'firemen and
engiideeh; with one seaman belonging to the Orion, wlio
wets crying for assistance to lower the boat. I said
,I would lower it on one side if he would lower
on the other. At this time the bows of the ship

We lowered the boat until she was flush with the
at the same time. W hen we got down to the water,
which was quite smooth, the sailor swung down by the
other rope. The boat aas entangled, however, wite
some thing like broad belts, which I cut away with my
knife, and the n she floated clear cf the ship. We had
no e ars, however, but when we called out for them a
pair was thrown down to us by a passenger, who I think
was Mr. Kidston, cf Stirling. We then discovered that
the beat was making water rapidly, as the plug had Lot
been put in; but a sailor, who was a passenger from
Liverpool, got a handkerchief and partially stopped the,
hole with it. We then moved round the stern, towards
the Lighthouse-pier, which was not far distant, and ir}
doing so we saw that the other stern boat had swamped,
and that several people were floating in the water. Some
.of our people proposed to take them in, but others
objected, saying, 'They would drown us also, and that
our boat wouldte: back immediately and render assist-
ance.' There were fqurteen, I mink, in our boat. I sat
at the stern, holding the handkerchief in the plug-hole
the greater part of the way, but I don't know who rowed
or had charge of the boat. When we were about half-
way I saw the steamer make a lurch and settle down,
disappearing all but a part of the funnel and the masts;
and at this time the most heattrending screams •pro
ceeded from her, both from male and female voices. We
landed, and the two sailors immediately went back to
reader help. When we reached the Tier thir isstste- in...-
longing to the inhabitants of Portpatrick were pushing
fast out to the wreck. I stood at the bottom of the stairs
leading to the pier-head, and handed up all the passengers
who were landed at this point. They consisted of both
men and women, and almost all in a moat deplorable con-
dition. Miss M'Neill, of Collonsay, a fine young lady of
nineteen years of age, was one of them. She walked up
the pier stairs unaided, but I learnt that she died im-
mediately after. Many of these rescued passengers,
especially the ladies, who were conscious, were in a
state of dreadful agony regarding the fate of their rela-
tions, some of whom were saved by other boats, and
others perished. I was engaged in this way till they
began to land the passengers at another spot nearer the
houses. I went there and remained till the captain, who
was the last, came out, and I helped him to land. He
had nothing on but his shirt and trousers, and I stripped
and lent him my great•coat. I never saw my friend,
Mr. lala.rehbank, again in life, but his body was brought
ashore at eight o'clock. lle had remained to dress him-
self, not having on his clothes, and I suspect that this delay
was the cause of his not being able to escape. My con-
viction is many may have been drowned in their berths,
as she went down so rapidly, and the danger was so
great, that all who reached the deck may have been
taken up in the effort to save themselves, without giving
notice to those who might be below. The number of
passengers was very great, and I beard the captain say
during the morning, that there were 170 cabin pas-
sengers, and 50 in the steerage. The humane conduct
of the inhabitants of Portpatrick was beyond all praise.
I left with the Princess Royal for Glasgow at four o'clock
Wednesday morning."
Mr. William Anderson, one of the survivors, who
reached Glasgow by the Princess Royal, states:—
" The Orion was advertised to sail at three o'clock on
Monday from Liverpool, and cleared out of the Clarence
Dock at four o'clock with a full complement of cabin
passengers (110 berths), and a number to whom berths
could not be assigned. It was computed by those on
board that there might be in addition from 60 to 70
steerage passengers. The afternoon was delightful, the
sea smooth, and every one on board enjoyed the highest
flow of spirits. Up to eleven o'clock the night was spent
in the most agreeable and cheerful manna. by all, at
which hour the greater number in the cabin retired to
rest. About a quarter 'past one in the morning, when
everything was serene and apparently prosperous, the
vessel struck violently on a rock about 3003 ands north of
Portpatrick lighthouse, and 150 yards from the shore. To
the few who happened to be on deck the shock seemed
to be serious and alarming, but it failed to waken
a considerable number below, who had to be aroused
to a sense of their danger by their less drowsy
companions. The engine almost instantaneously
ceased to work, and within a minute or two water
reached the engine fires, and was in the act of extin-
guishing them, when a gentleman connected with a rail-
way line urged the propriety of instantly blowing off the
steam, for the purpose of preventing the burs:ing of the
boilers and the blowing up 01 the vessel, which was forth-
with complied with, and such a catastrophe averted.
The danger becoming imminent, the engineers, firemen,
and part of the crew, lowered one of the quarter-boats,
and getting into it made for Portpatrick, on reaching
which numbers of the inhabitants were aroused, and
commenced to launch their boats for the purpose of
her tuning to the scene of distress. On this boat leaving,
the passengers on board, aroused to a sense of their
perilous condition, rushed to the starboard lifeboat,
which was instantly filled to overcrowding, and in the
anxiety to get her launched the bow rope was cut, by
which they were precipitated into the deep. The
stern rope was thereafter cut, the beet plunged into
the water, keel uppermost, and five or six persons were
saved by clinging to her bottom. The captain who had
been asleep in his cabin, now came on deck, and
with the carpenter greatly exerted himself to undo the
fastenings of the larboard lifeboat, which was no easy
matter, the fastenings for a time baffling the utmost ex-
ertions cf the carpenter. Thu vessel was now fast sink-
ing by the bow with a lurch to starboard, and by the
time the last mentioned boat was launched the larboard
side of the unfortunate steamer was so high out of the
water that the greater number of those who attempted
to get into her dropped into the sea and must have been
drowned. It would be vain to attempt depicting the
horror, consternation, and agony of those who now oc-
cupied the small portion of the quarter• deck still above
water. To flee to the rigging was now their only hope
of escape. Here they clung in desperation till the boats
from the shore were seen approaching as messengers of
mercy; end all who had sufficient strength tu maintain
their grasp were gradually rescued from their perilous
position. Many were also saved by clinging to casks,
deck luggage, &c., till picked up by the crews• of the
boats. Different opinions are entertained among those
saved in this painful catastrophe as to the precise time
which elapsed betwixt the striking of • the vessel and
her finally going down; but the general impression is
that it did not exceed fifteen minutes. The persons who
manned the boats from Portpatrick exerted themselves
in the most efficient and praiseworthy manner. The
exertions of the inhabitants, including the innkeeper.,
were incessant in ministering to the necessities and com-
forts of those who were thus unexpectedly thrown upon
their hospitality and kindness, and such as to impress
them with a sense of gratitude which %ill not easily be
effaced from their memory. There is little doubt that
many of the sufferers will take an early opportunity of
testifying their appreciation of such well-timed and dis-
interested kindness and attention, which extended not
only to the providing of shelter and internal comforts
fur the body, but to articles of clothing. It may be
stated that the narrator, who was aroused from his
slumbers by a fellow-passenger, saved himself by get-
ting bold of a rope fastened to one of the masts, after
having been plunged into the sea when the last part of
the quarter-deck had sunk under the surface. He was
eventually rescued by the boats from the shore, with
many others, who were clinging on to the mast and
rigging."
Wo have learnt that the vessel at the time she struck
recoiled, and this, coupled with the fact that the engineer
let off the steam, and that there was is flowing tide, ac-
counts for her not striking a second time. The water
was smooth as a lake, and although it is admitted by
numbers of witnesses, both on board and on shore, that
there was a little haze, it is confidently asserted by pas-
sengers who were on deck that they had remarked and
were surprised at the closeness with which the vessel
was run to the shore, and that the rocky coast was
plainlyiperceptible. As the ship approached the rocks
the man on the watch gave orders to starboard her helm,
which was immediately done; but the vessel was by
that 'time so' near the shore that she only got partly
round before she came in contact with the reef. As
soon as it was observed on board that the vessel was
going down, everything that could float was thrown out
by the crew.- Among the buoyant articles was a large
parcel of returned spars from the Asia, boxes, trunks,
&c. To this expedient it is probable that the saving of
so many is attributable.

DANGEROUS CONDITION OF BLACKFRIARS.BRIDGR.
—At the Court of Common Council, Mr. H. L. Taylor said
it appeared that, in consequence of some damage which had
been done to one of the piers of Blackfriars-bridge, by steam-
♦esseLs, there was reason to apprehend danger to the public•
if measures were not immediately taken to repair the mis-
chief; and he moved that it be referred to the Bridge House
Committee to inquire into the matter, and direct that imme-
diate steps be adopted to remedy the evil. The Town-Clerk
said that Mr. Walker, the engineer, had inspected the bridge,
and expressed his opinion that immediate measures should be
taken to prevent the progress of the evil . The Court at once
agreed to refer the subject to the committee, whose attention
will be likewise called to the very bad state of the pavement
of Blackfriars-bridge.

Tell-tales are contemptible beings. To retail in
one house what is seen or spoken of in another is a treason
against society, which cannot too thoroughly be despised.
