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-
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 aro 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.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
James Knight, 23, described as a labourer, though
looking little like one, and William Splevin, aged 23, a
carpenter by trade, were placed at the bar on an indict-
ment charging them with feloniously uttering a forged
request for the delivery of a gelding, with intent to de-
fraud Thomas Shirley.
The prisoner Knight, in other words, was charged
with stealing a horse from the prosecutor on the Bth of
July last, and the prisoner Splevin with receiving the
same, knowing it to be stolen.
The charge was fully made out against both prisoners,
and they were respectively sentenced to be transported
for ten years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
Mrs. Elizabeth Telfer, the wife of Mr. Adam Telfer, who
for many years carried on an extensive business as a
smith, engineer, Sec., in Praed-street and Market-street,
Paddington, came before Mr. Lang to respectfully solicit
his interference and advice under very peculiar and dis-
tressing circumstances.
From the statement of Mrs. Telfer, who seemed in a
very ill state of health, it appeared that her husband
abandoned her and his family two years ago, without
any assignable cause, and that the business, since dis-
posed of, was left in the hands of his clerk. Atter she
had been in the house in Praed-street six weeks from
the period of her being deserted the mortgagees fore-
closed, and she was deprived of a home. She had
maintained herself and family for some time by the sale
of her jewellery, household furniture, and wearing ap-
parel, and when that resource failed she was under the
necessity of applying to the parish for relief, and for
about sixteen months she was allowed the scanty pit-
tance of 3s. 6d. and two loaves weekly. Two months
ago this was taken off, and she had since been assisted
by her relations and friends, whose bounty was now ex-
hau.ted, and she was without a home, and was at a loss
to know what to do.
Mr. LONG said,he had no control over the parish offi-
cers. The applicant had better apply to the board of
guardians.
Mrs. Telfer (sobbing) said she had already done so,
and they refused to restore her weekly allowance, She
had been nursed in the lap of plenty, and her husband
was a rate-payer in the parish for thirty years. She was
anxious to maintain herself, notwithstanding her health
was impaired, but she was quite unable to support her
two youngest children.
Mr. LONG remarked that as an appeal had been made
to the board of guardians he could not alter their de-
termination.
The brother cf the applicant addressed the magistrate
on behalf of his much-injured sister. She was the
mother of seventeen children, eight of whom were now
living. Her family were for the most part scattered
abroad, and the worst fears were entertained with regard
to one of her daughters, eighteen years of age, of whom
no tidings could be gained. Since Mr. Telfer had aban-
doned his wife no efforts bad been made by the parish
to arrest him, although a warrant had been granted for
that purpose. Mrs. Telfer was in great distress, and ho
(the brother) had maintained her and one of her children
for the last fortnight. He had a large family of his own
to maintain, and was struggling with impaired health,
to keep a house over their heads by the produce of his
literary labours. He was unable to render any further
aid

Mrs. Telfer's brother said that his sister was in actual
want, and did not know where to procure another meal
or a lodging. Her youngest child, a boy eight years
old, bad been supported by a poor woman in Islington
