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 front their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT 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.

Ibility of any party from the Enterprise or Investi
gator having to fall back en.the Plover.
11. In providing for this necessary equipment f
the P10v,...r, attention will be paid to the numbers left
in the Herald, and the supplies necessary to carry
that vessel to Whoahoo ; and having received from
Captain Kellett any baidars or light boats that he
may be able to spare, and which may be likely to
form a useful addition is your own boats or those of
the Investigator, when searching parties may be de-
tached from the ships in the spring, the Herald will
return to the Sandwich Islands, there to fill up pro-
vls-ons, and thence proceed to Hong-Kong on her way
to England, it pursuance of our orders of the 14th of
Decemlier,last.,
12. On detaching the Plover to take up her winter
quarters you will direct Commander Moore to remain
there until you join -him, or, failing your return to
him, until the ,end of` the summer of 1853; when—
but not until it csAbsolutely necessary for securing
the Plover's passage ilirOugh the Alentian group of
islands—he is to quit Behring's Straits and make the
best of his way to Valparaiso (touching at the Sand-
wich Islands for refreshments), where he will receive
further instructions relative to his return to England
from the Commander-in-Chief.
13. If the Herald and Plover should be fallen in
with to the northward And eastward of Behring's
Straits, or in the Polar Sea, Captain Kellett, on de-
taching himself from your company, should consort
with the Plover as far as her winter quarters, and if
time and circumstances admitted of it, he should as-
sist in securing her there. . , •
14. In the event of your
'to winter your
ships- on the continent or Essisa,imal4 shores, you will
probably meet with some or the weinlering tribes, or
with Indians. With these you will cultivate a
friendly:feeling, by making them presents of those
articles to which they are apt to attach a value; but
you will take care not to suffer yourself to be sur-
prised by them, but use every precaution, and be
constantly on your guard against any treacherous
attack. You will also, by offering rewards, to be
paid in such manner as you may be able to arrange,
endeavour to prevail on them to carry to any of the
Hudson's Bay Company an account of your situation
and proceedings, with an urgent request that it may
be forwarded to England with the utmost possible
dispatch.
15. In whatever place you may have to establish
your winter quarters you will devote every resource
in your power to the preservation of the health, the
comfort, and the cheerfulness of the people committed
to your care.
16. We leave it to your judgment and discretion
as to the course to be pursued after passing Point
Barrow and on entering the ice ; and you will be
materially assisted in this respect by what you will
learn from Captain Kellett, if he should be fallen in
' with at the Sandwich Islands, as well as from the
observations of Sir E. Parry and Captain Beechey,
contained in the memoranda of which we send you
copies.
17. We have desired that you should be furnished,
not only with a copy of the orders under which Com-
mander Moore is now acting, but also with copies of
all the orders which from time to time have been
given to Captain Kellett, as well as with those under
which an attempt was made to relieve the Erebus and
Terror by Captain Sir James Ross on the eastern
side through Baffin's Bay. You will further be sup-
plied with all the printed voyages or travels in those
northern regions ; and the memoranda and instruc-
tions drawn up by Sir John Richardson as to the
manners and habits of the Esquimaux and the best
mode of dealing with that people (a copy of which is
also sent) will afford a valuable addition to the infor-
mation now supplied to you.
18. We deem it right to caution you against suf.-
fering the two vessels placed under your orders to
separate, except in the event of accident or unavoid-
able necessity ; and we desire that you will keep up
the most unreserved communication with the com-
mander of the Investigator, placing in him every pro-
per confidence, and acquainting him with the general
tenor of your orders, and with yourviews and intentions
from time to time, so that the service tr..y have the
full benefit of your united efforts in the prosecution,
of such a service ; and that in the event of any una-
voidable separation, or of any accident to yourself,
Commander M'Clure may have the advantage of
knowing, up to the latest period, all your ideas and
designs relative to the satisfactory completion of this
undertaking.
19. We also recommend that as frequent an ex-
change may take place, as conveniently may be, of
the observations made in-the two .Alips ; that any in-
formation obtained by the one be as quickly as pos-
sible communicated for the advantage and guidance
of the other.
20. In case of any irreparable accident happening
to the Enterprise, you are hereby authorised to take
command of the Investigator, and to make such ar-
rangements for the officers and crews as may be most
consonant to the rules of the service and most condu-
cive to the objects of the expedition.
22. In the event of Great Britain being involved
in hostilities with any foreign power during your
absence, you are to abstain from the smallest act of
aggression towards any vessel belonging to such na-
tion, it being the practice of all civilized countries to
consider vessels engaged in service of this kind as
exempt from the rules and operations of war.
22. In earring out the foregoing orders, you will
Soefcreetvaerryy practicable occasion of ac-
with every step of your gasziilutg
yinouroseulrf
pro-
gress, as well as with your future intentions ; and
occasionally during your voyage you will throw over •

board one of the tin cylinders with which you have
you
un
osouoplpdl supplied
manufacture (headedor in s

up
count of the date, position, sse. On your reaching Eng-
land you will call on every person, in both vessels, to
deliver up their logs, journals, charts, and drawings,
but which, they may be informed, shall be returned
to them in due time,
23. With respect to your search proving fruitless,
and your finally quitting the Polar Seas, as well as
your securing your winter quarters towards the close
of any one season, we cannot too strongly impress
upon you the necessity of the utmost precaution and
care being exercised in withdrawing in time, so as in
no case to hazard the safety of the ships and the lives
of those entrusted to your care, by your being shut
up in a position which might render a failure of pro-
visions possible.
We feel it unnecessaryto
instructions, which might possibly embarrass you in a
service of this description ; and we have therefore only
to repeat our perfect reliance on your judgment and
resolution, both in doing all that is possible to relieve
the missing ships and in withdrawing in time, when you
come to the painful conclusion that your efforts are
unavailing.
24. You will bear in mind that the object of the
expedition is to obtain intelligence of, and to render
assistance to, Sir Juhn Franklin and his companions,
and not for the purposes of geographical or scientific
research ; and we conclude these orders with an
earnest hope that Providence may crown your efforts
with success, and that they may be the means of ex-
pelling the gloom and uncertainty which now prevail
respecting the missing expedition.

SAYINGS' BANKS.—At a special general meeting of
fae trustees and managers of the Provident Institution,
St. Martin's place, held on Friday, the 25th of January,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :--
" That, in the opinion (.f this meetirg, it is most de-
sirable that a careful examination of the accounts of all
savings' banks should be forthwith adopted." " That, in
accordance with the suggestion Of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert (the president of this institution), the
Governor of the Bank of England, Mr. Maaterman,
Baron Lionel Rothschild, and Sir Edmund Antrobus, or
other three or more gentlemen, be requested to appoint
an accountant, who shall institute such inquiry into, and

TuE liousE or MURDERS.—The Liverpool Tillie.?
states that the house in which Mrr. Ilenrichson, her
children, and servant were murdered is now converted
into a beer-hot Lie, and that morbid curiiisity is likely to
make the speculation a profitable one. The parlour of
the house in which the servant and one of the children
were slaughtered is converted into a bar and taproom,
the entrance of which is through the hall in which Mrs.
Henrichson herself met her doom; and we presume every
party indulging in a glass of fourpenny is entitled to hale
pointed out to him the precise spots on which the mur-
ders took place, and the spots of blood, &e. whilst the
privilege or descending to where the villain consummated
his butchery by cutting the youngest child's throat is
limited to those who luxuriate in the higher priced and
mere palatable desciptleas of wai6 liqua.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Rear-Admiral Austen, C. 8., the newly-appointed
commander-in-chief to the East India station, and
bis secretary, go out overland to the East Indies ; but
his flag-lieutenant, Mr. Purvis, will proceed by the
sea route in the Hecate steam-sloop, Commander
Shad well, expected at Portsmouth from Washington,
which vessel will return her present crew to the Ex-
cellent, and enter a new ship's company, and will be
employed on the East India and China station. She
is hourly expected at Spithead, having left Bermuda
on the Bth.
L'eutenant Rice, appointed second lieutenant of the
Hastings, accompanies the Gallant Admiral overland
to join his ship.
We hear that the Fury steam-sloop, Commander
Willcox, communicated to Commodore Plumridge, in
the Cambrian, 80, the intelligence of the death of
Sir F. Collier, and then proceeded to Bombay to be
docked. Commodore Plumridge had hoisted a red
pendant, and had given Commander Morris an acting
appointment as captain (the second time during the
Cambrian's service on the station). It was likely the
commodore would proceed to China by steam-packet,
leaving the Cambrian to follow him.
VICE-ADMIRAL THE EARL OF DUNDOXALD,
G.C.8., THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN THE WEST
INDIES.—We learn by letters from Bermuda that the
Noble and Gallant Commander-in-Chief was to leave
that place in his flag-ship for Port Royal on the 16th
January. The screw-corvette, Plumper, was to ac-
company him.
THE COURT OF INQUIRY AT DevoirroaT.--The
Court of Inquiry at the Royal Naval Hospital termi-
nated their labours on Thursday, and transmitted
their report to the Admiralty. Sir W. Burnett was
not a member of the court, but was present by order
of the Admiralty on the first day. We copy the fol-
lowing from the United Service Gazette :—"The
present inquiry, from all we can gather, is instituted
to ascertain the facts with reference to certain returns
of the number of cases of cholera in the hospital
during the late awful visitation in that neighbour-
hood. Some culpable errors, it is alleged, have been
committed in the description. In the weekly returns
made to the captain superintendent during the pre-
valence of the epidemic, the number of cases is
stated at 60, and the deaths 35 • but in the
nosological quarterly returns it is shown that there
were 112 cases, with the same number of deaths
(35), making it appear that the medical staff had
been doubly successful in their treatment of cholera ;
whereas the true state of the case is, that nearly all
the cases of diarrhoea that appeared in the weekly
returns have been twisted into cholera." Another
authority (the .Devonport Telegraph), says—" As far
as we can glean, the inquiry appears to have arisen in
the inspector, Dr.i Rae's, refusal to comply with a
request of the captain-superintendent to be furnished
with information on modes of medical practice, a
request which the inspector considered extra-judicial,
and on this ground refused compliance. A lengthened
official correspondence was the consequence, and
eventually Dr. Rae requested he might be suspended
until the question between himself and the super-
intendent, Captain Toup Nicolas, was officially
decided." A third report says it was in consequence
of Captain Nicolas's discovery one morning that a se-
vere case of cholera had been brought to the hospital
one afternoon, and the head of the medical establish-
ment knew nothing about it the next morning at
nine o'clock. Captain Toup Nicolas, at the opening,
protested against Sir W. Burnett being present, and
his name and conduct having been freely introduced,
applied to the President to be heard before the Court
on the following day, which request was granted, and
the Court re-assembled at half-past one, P.M., on
Thursday, when further evidence was brought for-
ward, Sir William Burnett not being present on this
occasion. It appears that there have been constant
bickerings between the executive and the medical
men; the former maintaining his superior authority,
and the other class regarding its exercise as unwar-
rantable interference. Those, however, who know
anything of Captain Nicolas may be well assured that
he will not omit a single point of duty himself, nor
will he allow any one under him to do so ; and that,
so long as the Admiralty retains him at the head of
the establishment, he will do his duty, and that
withomt fear or favour.

PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.
Mate—John Packwood (KIM], 1848), to the rank
of lieutenant, and appointed to the Excellent gunnery
ship.

Lieutenants-W. Morris, to command the coast-
guard station at Scattery, vice Mr. Ellis, master,

Clerk--C. G. Norman, to the Gladiator.
Commander Charles Patriarche (retired) died at
Gloucester a few days since. Tnis gallant officer
entered the navy in August, 1793, as A.B. on board
the Concorde, 36, and whilst in the Melampus,
36,
the following year, assisted, when in company of a
squadron under Sir J. B. Warren, at the capture of the
French frigates Pomone, 44, Babet, 22, and Eaga-
geante, 38. In the latter part of 1794 he was appointed
midshipman of the Defence, 74, and continued in her
until promoted to the rank of lieutenant, 1799, having
been acting a year previously. He was, consequently,
present in Hotham's second partial action, 1795 ; at
the blockade of the Texel, and at the battle of the
Nile, 1798 (then master's mate). Appointed to the
Pylades, 18, he served in her until he joined the
Superb, 74, in which ship he was present in Sir Jas.
Saumarez's gallant action in the Gut of Gibraltar, in
1801 ; accompanied Lord Nelson to the West Indies,
in pursuit c f the combined fleets, 1805, and was so
severely wounded in the battle off S. Domingo, 6th
February, 1806, as to be induced the following
June to invalid. In 1812 he joined the Vulture sloop
in the Channel, but in June, 1813, he was again com-
pelled to invalid, from the effects of his wound. Lieu-
tenant Patriarche became a retired commander on the
junior list in 1830, and on the senior list in 1844.
Besides receiving a grant from the Patriotic Society,
Commander Patriarche was allotted, in 1805, a
pension for wounds of 911. ss.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.-The Raleigh, 50, Coin-
modore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., arrived yester-
day from the Brazils, to he paid off, having been
relieved in the River Plate by the Southampton, 50,
Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C.B. The Raleigh has
brought no news, baying been 55 days from Bahia.
The Linnet packet, arrived at Falmouth on Friday
brought news from Rio to the 17th of December, a
month later than the Raleigh. By the Linnet we
have a letter from Rio of the 17th ult,, at which time
the Southampton, 50, was at Monte Video ' • the
Tweed, 18, Commander Lord Francis Russell, the
Crescent receiving-ship, and the Kestrel packet were
at Rio; the Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander
Sahomberg, arrived from a cruise on the 14th, and
sailed on the 16th. The Rifleman, 8, Lieutenant
Crofton, arrived at Rio from Santos on the 6:h, and
left on the 10th on another cruise. The Cormorant
and Rifleman, in company, on their last cruise,
seized a slave barque, which they burnt, considering
