This Work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physislesv 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 apalying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, hut erro-
neously eatertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict hirq, and prevent his seeking 'or 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.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
Mra.Eliz ;both Telfer, the wife of Mr. Adam Telfer, who
for many years carried on an extensive business as a
smith, engineer, &e., in Praed-street and Market-street,
Paddington, came before Mr. Long 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. 61. and two loaves weekly. Two months
ago this was taken cif, and she bad since been assisted
by her relations and friends, whose bounty was now ex-
heusted, and she was without a home, and was at a lose
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 (lobbing) said she bad already done so,
and they refused to restore her weekly allowance, She
bad 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, net withstanding her health
was impaired, but she was quite unable to support her
two youngest chilhen.
Mr. LONG remarked that as an appeal had been made
to the board of guardians he could not alter their de-
termination.
The brother c f the applicant addressed the magistrate
on behalf of h's much-injured sister. She was the
mother cf seventeen children, tight of whom were now
living. liar family were for the most part scattered
abroad, an'i the worst fears were entertained with regard
to one of her deughtere, eighteen years of age, of whom
no tidings could t c gained. Since Mr. Te'f r had sann-
doned his wife no efforts had been made by tho parish
to arrest hire, although a warrant ha l been granted f
that purpose. Mrs. Teller wee in great distref s, and he
(the brother) had maintained her and one of her children

Mrs. Lifer% brother said that his sister was in actual
want, and did not knew where to procure another meal
or a lodging. Her youngest child, a boy eight years
had been supplied by a poor Woman in Islington

Whipp, 86 D, said that he held a at arrant for .the
aPPrehendon of Mr. Teller, but hid not been able to
find him; "he had en alvertised for by the guardians.
The applicant's bro! her observed that Mr. Teller was
not far oil, and that if he P 133 sought atter he might be
found. Tne guardians of Paddington had evinced grt at
lukewarmness in the matter.
It was ultimately arranged that Whipp, ore rf the
warrant officers, should wait upon the relieving cfficvr
Paddington, accompanied by
Mrs. Teller. A gcn lernan
present gave Mrr. Ttifer some 'silver to enab:e her to
obtain a meal and a night's lodging, for which act of
kindness she expressed her thanks, and theft retired
from the court.

CLERKENIVELL.
Mr. James Lansdun a master boot-maker, residing
next door to the Prince of Wales public-house, Vinceet•
terrace, Islington was brought before Mr.Courbe, charge I
with creating a disturbance and with assaulting police-
constable Clax, 324 N divivion.
The officer said that, between twelve and one o'clock
at night, he saw the defendant hand-in-hand with
ano:ber man, at which time four or five other persons
were present, in frost of the above-mentioned hous'.
Ho asked what they were after, ehen he was told that
they were going to run a race. He told them that that
was not a proper time, but they took no heed of him,
and etarted off, and on returning the ddendant struck
him on the chest, and knocked him down. The accused
fell immediately afterwards, and was picked up by his
friends. Witness then went up to him, and claimed him
as his prisoner,laying hold of him, when he instantly
gave him a moat severe blow on the mouth, which bled
for half an hour.
Cross examined by Mr. Robinson—Went off his brat
to step the running,
and was opposed by the m )I) of
five or six persons. .Mr. Jefferies is the landlord of the
-Prince of Wales, from which house the race commerccd
and terminated. It was from that house to the County
Court:arid back, about 300 yards.
Mr. Coani hero said he could not see what right the
policeman had to interfere at all, for, according to his
own showing, there was no disturbaiace—no crowd
created; and he knew of no law to prevent a man running.
Mr. Robinson said there was something else in the
back-ground. To the policeman—Was not the defendant
running at full force at the time you say ho knocked you
down? Witness—Ycs;- and he struck me at full force,
and intentionally.
Mr. CONBE—A man in running might do so by acci-
dent, in swinging his arms about, although a professed
runner would keep them stiff.
Mr. Robinson—Were you not trying to atop him when
he hit you? Witness (after hesitating)—Yes.
Mr. )binson—And were you not endeavouring to
seize him, and had even your hand on his shoulder when
he was running and fell? Witness—Yes; but that did
not make him fall.

Mr. Robiason—What made you interfere at all eff
your belt? Witness—Blcaust I heard a grelt
Mr. R binsoa—When you totk my client irvo cus-
tody did he not go to the wation-house quittl) ? Wi:-
ness—He did.

Mr. Robinson—You have sworn that your mouth
bled fJr half an hour. Now did not the defendant deny,
in the presence of your inspector, that he struck you at
all, and wish him to examine your mouth, or even offer
to send for a doctor to do so?
The witness admitted that such were the facts.
Mr. Robinson—Pray was your mouth cut? Witness—
slightly.
Mr. Robinson suggested that his mouth should be
examince.

Mr. Bayliss, the chief usher, having done so, said he
could not perceive any injury.
Ilogard, 210 N, examined—Was on duty near the
County Court, and heard the witness Clax spring his
rattly. He went to his assistance, and found him
struggling with defendant; he assisted them up, and
took the latter into custody.
Mr. JetTeries, Mr. Walker, and another person, denied
most positively that any asE.-ault ha I been committed by
the defendant. The otlieer pushed upon him without any
just cause.
Mr. COMBE dismissed the complaint.

SAFFRON WALDEN PETTY SESSION,

A ugust 17.

A young man named _David, in the employ of Mr.
Robert Tredgett, of Bourn Facrr, Ashdon, was sum-
moned for trapping hares.
Mr. Freeland, solicitor, at!ended to prosecute on
behalf of Mr. Ile WitEOD, lessee of the game from Lord
Maynard.
Richard Kingswood, keeper to Mr. Hewitson, stated
that on the 101 h inst. ho was in Mr. Treigett's barley
field, when ho saw the defen !ant and Thomas Rule set-
ting some traps, which they said were fur rabbits. Wit-
ness told them not to do so, as he knew I area went there.
Next morning witness found a hare in one of the traps,
about half a rod in the field: about half-past four the
defendant came along, and alter looking round went
down on his hands and knees and took hold of the hare
and trap, which he covered op in the standing barley.
Witness sail!, s, Well, David, then you took that young
hare this morning." He denied it; but witness went to
the place and found it still alive. The defendant then
said his master (Mr. Tredgett) had given him leave to
set traps for rabbits, and he found the hare there, but
never touched it.

Mr. Freeland said all the wild animals belonged to
Lord Maynard, the landlord, and produced the lease,
which granted the right of shooting to Mr. Hewitson;
but which it was ruled could not be received as evidence.
The tenant, Mr. Robert Tredgett, stated that he was
so angry with the rabbits that he had set traps and em-
ployed pFrsols to kill them, because the understanding
with his landlord was, that when he was overstocked
with rabbits, ho should be at liberty to destroy them.
Mr. Chiffons, Lord Maynard's steward, told him there
should be no rabbits to hurt him, and if a gentleman
hired the manor they should be caught. Ile admitted
that he hid no authority to kill the game nor to carry a
gun, but there as an understanding
de-
stroy the rabbits. that he might

Lard BRA.YI3IIOOI{E—If ho assumes the right to kill
rabbits and he kilts a hare, I apprehend that he is
linblo to a convictLn.

Mr. Tredgett—l told the defendant that if he caught
a hare in a trap instead of a rabbit he was to put his
foot upon the spring and let the hare
Lord BRAYBROOKE thought there ought to be a written
agreement between the landlord and tenant defining the
matter more clearly.
Mr. Tredgett admitted that he had no right to destroy
the hares or rabbits unless they were injaricus to him;
he had no recent authority to set traps since Mr. Hewit-
son had leased the shooting. ..
Mr. Wolfe considered that if a farmer had once the
privilege of killing rabbits, he might continue to kill
them unless it wore alto-ed by a fresh agreement.
Mr. Tredgett said Lard Maynard himself, in a conver-
sation this spring, gave him permission to kill the rab-
bits, but in ne case to injure the gam•.
In answer to a question from the Bench, he admitted
he had killed one yousg hare this year with a, dog.
Lord BRAYBROOORE—your dog does not know tares
from rabbits, I dare sir.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Tredgett said he had caught 60 rabbits this season
and ups ards oF 200 young ones,

The- room having been cleared for the bench to consult,
The CHAIRMAN said, after mature deliberation, the
Bench considered it was not safe to convict, as it was
not shown that although the hare had been caught tbat

else in a firtnight's time they should have another case
brought forward, and if so the informant should be
enab'el to show that the trap was set for hares, and that

Case dismissed.— Essex Standard.

THE LATE FIRE IN GRAVESEND.
GRAVESEND, AUG. ;;2.—This day an inquest into the
origin of the late fire in High-street, in this town, was
held bcfote Mr. Hilder, coroner f,r the borough, and a
respectable jury. The Town hall, where the inquest
v as held, was partially filled by the most respectable in-
habitants of the town. • Mr. . Oakes, magistrate, and
several membe:s of the municipal body, sat with the
coroner, and great interest in the proceedings, which
were prolonged from 10 o'clock A.M. to near 4 r.x , was
betrayed by all present.

of the alarm of the inmates of both the houses, in one

tremely contradictory, as was that of the state in which
the inmates of both houses were seen to make their es-
