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 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
arantee for his professional experi-
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
aalmostgu solely to the treatment of these

PRESENTATION OF A. SILVER SNUFFBOX -CHAT-
nA.r, JAN. B.—The sergeants of the 17th Regiment of
Foot (the Royal Tigers) stationed in Chatham Barracks,
presented this day a very elegant silver snuffbox to their
colour-sergeant, Bryan Kirby, upon his leaving the corps,
after a service of twenty-three years. The box is a
creditable work of art, from the design of Mr. J. Pike,
of Chatham. The lid and sides are frosted and burnished
silver, and decorated with the emblems of the regiment
—the tiger, the badge of the corps, surmounts the royal
arms. The different achievements of the regiment are
also inscribed—" Hindostan—Affkhanistan—Ghuznee—
and Khelat." Colour-Sergeant Kirby was spoken of in
terms of the highest praise by his brethren of the
corps in presenting the above token of their esteem, for
which he returned his warmest thanks.

THE COUNTESS OF BLESSINGTON'S " COUNTRY
QUARTERS," A NOVEL.—" A gravely sweet-looking
lithograph portrait of tho late gifted and lamented lady,
from the original in the possession of Mr. Mitchell, serves
as an interesting frontispiece to this publication ; but a
yet more interesting preface will be found in a brief, but
graceful and feeling sketch of her life, by her attached
and accomplished niece, Miss Power. The novel is
one of the most lively and life-like of the author's pro-
ductions. The characters are well drawn, and persons
moving in the upper circles painted as they are, not as
they are caricatured by Writers unacquainted with the
class. The Irish, both in high aad bumble life, are also
portrayed with especial success."—Literary Gazette.
