This wort 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-
sequences, unwisely entertains, a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so irequently, but erro-
neously entertained' that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplonias 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-SHIP.
PoRTpATIticK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19.—This morn-
ing, Wednesday, the 19th, I arrived at Portpatrick, the
scene of this catastrophe. The town is situated on a
bold, rocky coast; the steem-ahip Orion is sunk abet',
500 a aide to the north of the mouth of the harbour;
the top parts of the fore, main, and wizen masts and part
of funnel appear above water, that is all that is
vilble, and part of the paddle-boxes at lbw water. The
rock on- which she struck on Tuesday morning, at one
A.M., is but atiw yards from the abore, the Current carried
nor off it aboht 300 yards eeawitd, where she sank. A'
quarter of 'an bone elapsed from the time she struck till
she went down. -Whet: she struck the passengers got
into the boats; instead of lowering them down they cut
the ropes and the passengers fell into the" water, many of
whom were drowned,
some saved by the approach of a
small boat from Portpatrick. The chief mate informed
me he and the captain freidon by the rigging till taken
off by' a small, boat.. 'Yestatrday "upwarcht of twenty
corpses came ashore, all meactw cabin-passengers, lying
in' a respectable house tie the care of the superin-
tendent of police.' The
Primtfo rA.3t. ib
paay's steamers, called onnebhme
way to G leap*, atid •=, took %initialer of thw surviving
pasaengeri outboard, who were-41000d by the inhabit-
,alißoyitils; emnder
noi of the o
ants of Portpatrick in the,best manner peasi.ble, many of
them having no time te,pdt '.on their clothes. Between
8 and 9 o'clock, A al. the steam-ship Tartar, from Glas.
gow, the prorerty of Messrs.-J. and G. Burns, the pro-
prietors of the Orion, arrived with one of the -Messrs.
Burns and several of the relatives Of the deceased: pas-
sengers, who immediately *hilt and ettatnined the dead
bother, and some found their friends among them.. One
of them was the Episcopol-miniater of Paisley, who lost
his daughter. - Another gentleinen
pointed out to me
his brothevin-law, who: lay among the number, who was
taking care of his little daughter oa the passage; anewas
saved—a finetiookinelittle girl, about 10 years of age.
Mr.. Burns, the proprietor, had the melancholy duty to
perform of looking -after the remains of his distinguished
brother, Professor Burns, of the College of Glasgow, one
of 'the deci.ased 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 seamen to the steam-boats; containing the
bodies of the drowned persons, presented itself every
now and then. I understood 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
second mate and went to bed, with orders to be wakened
if anything particular needed his presence. I spoke with
the second., mate, who .ipform,ed me. ,Portpatrick : was
visible enough; and no naiat,,except a dark cloud, he said,
which stood over a flagstaff standing on a rock called
Cooksmy Craigs, Situated on . the northern entrance of
the harbour.: I inquired his reason for standing.so close
to shore? his answer was to keep,outof the current; when
he saw the rock ahead hp.raa to waken thecaptain, when
she struck. An old geotlemata informed me his niece
saw the Orion from,her.window, which fronts. the har-
bour, and wondered' to nee the steamer so close to shore.
I had a co,nversation with. one of the seamen, who said
he never passed so near the Mall of Galloway light-
bouse, and inquired of, the second mate, the reason,
who answered because of the currents, but
who said she was too near. • From.. conver-
sations I had with several people, I understand the
night was not dark and the sea perfeptly calm. These.
were 112 cabin passengers, and between 40 and 50 steer-
' age ones ; the supposition is from 60 to 100 persons
were drowned. The Procurator-Fiscal of the district is
making an investigation into. the case, and more parti-.
culars will be learned. ,Aseyet no 'attempts have been
made to get ont any of the passengers on board; this
probably will be done by divers. The next considera-
tion will.be the cargo and the ship; all expedition will
be needed, as she may soon, break up on such a rugged
shore.
GLASGOW, THURSDAY EMENING.—The Tartar steamer
returned this Morpiag.from Portpatrick, bringing, with
her the reinainder of ihe Paiseagers who bad been saved,
as well as several dead bodies, including thelasf Professor
Burns, of Glasgow College, &c. The total number
saved amounts to fully -130,but nothing decisive can be
said as to the numbers who have perished, for the pas-
senger-list, the otdy record, is still in the ship. It is poi-
bible, therefore, that many passengers, such as tourists
and foreigners, 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
bodies have been recovered, and it is possible that not
many more will be found, for the currents are rapid at
.Portpatrick, and might soon carry the remainder out to
sea. The relatives t.:f those missing, including a brother
of Mr. IW,Neill, .of Coilonsay, are at Portpatrick,
anxiously searching for, tho bodies of their friends.
Many most harassing incidents have occurred. A .Mr.
Splatt, from England, witli. 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 perished excepting the father, who is
left behind lamenting." Mr. Scott, a gentleman who
had acquired a competency in Canada, and intended to
settle in Scotland, was • on board, with his lady, his
daughter, and his sister-in-law. He was- joined at
Liverpool by a young relative, Mias Jameson, who was
returning from a boarding school to her patents in Glas-
gow. Mr. Scott and all his immediate party is drowned,
but Miss Janaeson has escaped.
The bodies rescued have been deposited in an empty
tenement in the immediate vicinity of the harbour, and
pre'sent one of the •most ghastly and melancholy spec-
tacles we have ever beheld. The bodies claimed are
those of Mrs. Splatt and 'her two daughters, Ann and
Mary Ann; Mr. Marchbank, traveller tqilessrs. 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•l2 months, and the other a child of
about three years; Mra-Ross, Glasgow; Alexander Gra-
ham, the steward; John Pearce, Liverpool; Mrs.
M Neill and two daughters; Harriet Mllienzie Peuglae,
a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Peughe of the Episcopalian
chapel, Paisley; and Dr. Berne.

Perhaps we may not be able to give a better descrip-
tion of this fatal shipwreck than 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 heath he could not rest; and on Mon-
day evening was standing looking out of his window,
which overlooks the bay, when he heard the noise of a'
steamer approaching.-
Wishing to ree her pass, he was
surprised to observe her lights off the south pier, and he
concluded that the vessel must be nakiug for the har-
bour. He was stilt 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. !He rushed into
the street; and giving the alarm that a vessel was on the
rocks, ran down to the harbour and took his boat from
the shore. Mr. Hannoy, the superintendent of public
werks, 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 commiiiiication 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. He also
wished to bring off the mate, but he would hot comedown
at first; because be 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 laity, but not
sufficiently so to prevent him seeing the steamer pass,
nor from seeing the lighthouse on the south pier, and
the rocks on the north side of the bay. Coming from
the southward, the vessel. might have seen the light-
house,northw
aairtirmh a•. vessel se near the- shore from the
ufght-not have seen it.'? :
Mr. John Cameron, commercial traveller with Meisrs.
John Clappertori and Co., Trongate, says--"I went on
board the Orion' at Liverpool, with Mr. W. Marchbank,
also- of Messrs.Clapperten'a 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 largenumber 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 ie 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 wereconvers-
ing together and not looking, out for it. I threw off
only my coat and boots 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. before' I had fallen
asleep, I felt the vessel ' grate' along, her aide 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 thia..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-
tionwrrong. I
siren
nthn also got up, pulled on my boots, and at
frome the
the same time. awoke Mr. Marchbank—telling him to
get up, as I was afraid there was something wrong.
deck that there was anything
gurrying on my coat 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 confuiicn 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
heardnome one. cry,..f Lewer _the heats; she is. sinking
From the numbers gathered on thisi slide .of the ship I
was afraid that any boat that might be lowered there
