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 those 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 year. is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract of a letter from
John Eastman, Esq., of Buenos Ayres, dated April 3,184 s,
"To Professor Holloway. My dear Sir,—Your Pills and
Ointment are in very great repute here, and many wonderful
cures have been performed by their use ; one in particular I
will relate. A Portuguese farmer, who had been confined to
the house with sore legs for more than
.five years, which ren-
dered him incapable of following any kind of work, is now so
perfectly cured by the use of your Pills and Ointment that he
can follow the plough and attend personally to the most labo-
rious farming operations." Sold by all druggists and at Pro-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Algernon Sidney Sparhes, Charles Nixon, Ed-
mund Wright, and James Campbell (the latter having
been apprehended the previous day), were brought
before Mr. Jardine for further examination. _

Mr. Wontner, solicit;;; appeared to conduct the
prosecution, and the prisoners were represented by
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, and Mr. Horry.
Mr Wontntor said before calling additional wit-
nesses to depose to particular frauds effected upon
them, he had some material evidence to offer from
-persons who had been brought into the company of
the prisoners at various times, and had heard con-
versations which -would confirm the charge of con-
spiracy against them. There were, also, abundant
grounds for the committal of the prisoners for ob-
taining money under false pretences—a charge
which he should take care to include in the indict-
ment, in order that the prisoners might not escape
with a common term of imprisonment, but stand a
chance of getting transported.
James Bothamley, a servant out of place, met
Campbell and Sparkes at the Swan publie-house, near
Queen-square, shortly after. Christmas last. They
were in company with others, examining some pros-
pectuses, and boasting how they could cheat the pub-
lic. Campbell said, "He would undertake to throw
the devil off his guard." He told the others that he
had taken an office in Kingsgate-street. 'Witness saw
Campbell and. Stanley together, about a month or six
weeks afterwards, at the office in Kingsgate-street.
Believed that Campbell was fOrmerly a footman.
Thomas Saunders, a carpenter, said I know all the
prisoners. About ten weeks ago Wright came to
17, Adam-street, Adelphi, where I was lodging, and
took a parlour as an office.. I fitted it up for him, and
undertook to keep it clean for ls. per week. Was in
the office one day when Top (a former witness) came
to see Wright. The prisoner said to me, " Just step
out of the office for a minute or two, as I am
going to. nail this long customer for 21. or 31., and
then I'll pay you." I left the office then. Saw Stanley
first at Wright's about the 21st of April. Wright
introduced me to him, saying, "This is Mr. Saun-
ders. Heard Stanley say to Wright, " I am going
to nail an
.auctioneer from the country for 9/. to-
morrow morning. He has paid a deposit of 1/., and
if he comes here you must give him something to do.
Take an advertisement out of the Times, and send
him to inquire about it, only let it be a good way off."
He also said on this occasion that some of his clerks
that he had taken money- from were getting rather
troublesome, and that he should have to keep out of
the way. Soon after this a young man (the witness
Pascall) did call at the office, and Wright sent him to
Bayswater to inquire about a furnished house which
was advertised to be let. One day, on a Wednesday, I
was sent to mind the office at 79, Great Queen-street,
for Stanley. Remained there till Saturday, when I de-
clined to open the office, and gave the keys up to the
landlord. The witnesses Long, George, and Loten,
and many others called there while I was minding
the office, and suspected me to be concerned in
swindling them. Once Stanley sent me to Campbell,
at the Brownlow•street office, to tell him that "the
party he had 50/. of was after him, and he had better
keep out of the way." I delivered the message to a
woman whom I supposed to be Mrs. Campbell, but
he was sitting in back room, and said, " It's all
right; say I am" much obliged to him." Wright on
one occasion told me how they carried on the
business—by advertising for clerks, and then
making appointments with all the men who answered
the advertisements at intervals of half-an-hour
apart, the first point being to get the deposits.
He said, " When inquiries were made as to our re-
spectability, we refer to the Brownlow-office, and the
Brownlow-office refers to us.". He stated that "he
had been obliged to give Sparkes 10s. because he was
ill, and he had advanced 11. to Campbell to pay a
carpenter who was kicking up a row for his money."
After I had given up possession of the office in Great
Queen-street, Campbell came and threatened me.
He said " he should not have cared a pin about it if
they had only got the papers away." These papers
had been applied for several times—once or twice by
a little boy, the son of the prisoner Sparkes.
Cross-examined—l first gave information of this
the day I was sent to Queen-street. I wrote to
Sergeant Smith, of the detective police about it. I
took no part in swindling anybody, but I was getting
a knowledge of what was going on all the while I
was with the prisoners.
George Morris, who had been also employed as a
clerk at the various offices occupied by the prisoners
(after paying a deposit of 201. to Wright's father),
deposed to having seen all the prisoners repeatedly
together. Wright the younger, once tried to induce
him to put the rest of his money "into the concern,"
and join them as a partner, he (Wright) undertaking
to bear all the responsibility and to sign every thing.
He said there was nothing to do but putting in a few
advertisements for clerks and removing from ene of-
fice to another when any place got " too hot to hold
them."

Mr. JARDINE said, as it would take a long time to
make proper selections from the evidence and reduce
the depositions to form and regularity, there must be
a further remand for this purpose till Tuesday next.
The prisoners would then be committed for trial, and
probably four or five cases only would be found suf-
ficent to proceed on.
Bail was again refused.
MARLBOROUGH.STREET.

Mr. BiNonem gave his decision in the case against
the driver of an omnibus, who had, as alleged, by
careless and wilful misbehaviour, caused damage to
Sir F. Thesiger's carriage.
As the point of law reserved for consideration was
of some consequence to the public and to drivers ge-
nerally, the magistrate stated the particulars of the
case and his judgment at some length.
Mr. BINGHAM said, the collision complained of oc-
curred in Waterloo-place, at the bottom of a descent
nearly a quarter of a mile in length, down which the
defendant was proceeding. The complainant's coach-
man bad turned a corner, and his horses had just
entered Waterloo-place. Witnesses for the com-
plainant stated that the defendant was on his proper
side, and going at the rate of six or seven miles an
hour, and that when about six or eight yards from
the complainant's carriage the complainant's coachman
made a sign that he was about to cross the carriage-
track to pull up at a shop on his right ; that the de-
fendant saw the sign, but, instead of turning to the
left of complainant's carriage, as it was alleged he
ought to have done, he continued his course, and the
result was that a collision ensued. The defendant's
pole entered the complainant's carriage, doing con-
siderable damage, and placing in great danger the lives
of the party within. It Was not clearly made out whe-
ther or not the defendant saw the signal made by the
complainant's coachman. Aeauraing he did not see
it, the collision may have been occasioned by wilful
and perverse recklessness, a reliance of the defendant
on his own weight and momentum, and disregard of
the safety of others • or by a physical inability to
arrest, on an inclined,plane and in so short a distance
as eight yards, the progress of so heavy a vehicle as
an 'omnibus; or by a want of presence of mind to
draw off towards the right hand, as the complainant's
coachman contended he ought to have done. Unless
the first of these suppositions be clearly established
to the exclusion of the other two, a police magistrate
had no jurisdiction, and the complainant must look for
his redress in a civil court. But under the circum-
stances of the case, considering the short distance
within which the defendant was called upon to pull up
a heavy vehicle on a descent, or, whether he should,
as for an exceptional emergency, depart from tbe rule
of the road and tura off to his right to make way for the
complainant's carriage, the evidence did not afford
such a reasonable certainty of wilful misconduct as to
justify a magistrate in inflicting a penalty. The
summons was therefore ordered to be dismissed for
want of jurisdiction in the magistrate, the complain-
ant's remedy being in a civil court. The driver of
the omnibus, Hedges, was then discharged.
Ann Maria To.lfrey was charged with having ob-
tained money from William Richardson, under the
fraudulent pretence of procuring for him a Govern-
ment situation.
William Richardson, of N 0.19, Sun-street, became
acquainted with the prisoner through her sister, last
July twelvemonth's. lie received a letter from her
sister, which induced him to call on the prisoner in
Coventry-street. The prisoner said she could get
him a situation in the Home-office, if he would ad-
vance JO/. The prisoner said she was acquainted
with Lord Alfred Paget, and she would write to his
Lordship on the subject.. The prisoner asked for an
advance of money, but complainant did not give any
at the time. Iu a few days afterwards he sent the
prisoner 151., and he continued to make advances,
from time to time, until he bad given her
451. On one occasion he received a letter from the
prisoner, inviting him to call upon her. He did so,
and she showed him a letter with Lord Alfred Paget's
name at the bottom, announcing that a situation in
the Home-office had been provided for witness.
After making an advance of 101., he received another
letter requesting him to meet his Lordship at pri-
soner's house, as his Lordship was to be his surety,
and complainant was to go to the situation on the fol-
lowing Monday. Complainant received another let-
ter putting him off, and from that time had neither
obtained a Government situation, nor had any of his
money returned,

Police-constable Jones said he apprehended the
prisoner at No. 17, Park-side, Knightsbridge. The
prisoner said she had given a bill of exchange for the
money advanced by complainant. Witness found a
number of letters from, other' perions, who were ap-
parently in the same situatidn 1%3 the cotnplainant.
The prisoner said she bad attempted to procure 'be
complainant a situation in a Government office, but
had failed. On one occasion she had written to Mr.
Laboucbere, and bad received a reply that the vacancy
at the office of the Board- of Trade bad been filled
up. The money advanced bad always been treated
as a debt.

Remanded till next Friday.

SKITTLE ROBBRRIES.—CAUTION TO PUBLIC-HOUSE
Awn BaEIt•HOUSE Kaarsar.—Yesterday Mr. Charles
Morton, landlord of the Canterbury Arms public-
house, in the' Upper Marsh, Lambeth, appeared be-
fore Mr. Norton, in obedience to a summons charg-
ing him with knowingly suffering gambling to take
place on his premises. Mr. Renton Simpson, of
York-road, solicitor to the Lambeth and South' Lon-
don Trade Protection: Society, attended on behalf of
the defendant. _ ' -

In support of the summons, which bad been taken
out by tbe police, Robert Catt,on, a draper's assistant,
residing in Sutton-street, 'Soho-square, was called,
and deposed that on the 10th day of last month be
was induced to go to the house of the defendant with
some sharpers who bad picked him out, and also to
accompany them into the skittle-ground. While
there one of his new acquaintances offered to bet him
fifty pounds that he could not get the nine pins down
in nine throws, and he accepted the bet; but not
having the money about him- he said he should go to
his landlord, borrow the money,andret
him o
return to play
the match. One of the party accompanied
his lodgings, and having got the money be returned
to the defendant's house. On arriving there he found
the party he had left in the skittle-ground in front of
the bar, and they all returned to the parlour, where
they had some dinner and two bottles of wine, and
they proceeded into the subscription skittle-ground.
Mr. NORTON—Are there two skittle-grounds at the
house? Witness—Yes, sir. One public ground, in
which I had been on the first time ; and the other a
subscription greund, into which I had been taken the
second time. I put down 451. out of the 501. for the
playU:
was
wagered f r the
match of my knocking down the nine pins in nine
throws, when one of the party offered first to play me
for a bottle of wine. I accepted the challenge; and
having put down the other Si
th se
et 50
bottle of wine. This I lost, and the stakeholder in-
stantly gave up the money to the person who was
playing against me, saying
on the result of that game. The person who received
that
the money disappeared, and all the others also got
away.
Mr. NORTON—Had any drink been supplied in the
skittle-grounds ? Witness—Yes ; one bottle of wine,
and that I suspect was drugged.
Mr. NORTON—Why do you think so? Witness
—Because neither of the parties drank a drop of it ;
and though I had only two glasses of it, it had a
powerful effect on me—an effect that two glasses of
pure wine was not likely to have on me. Besides,
one of the men, when I was about to take a third
glass, said, " recommend you not to take any more
of that wine, else you'll be drunk.
Mr. NORTON—Do you recollect seeing the defend-
ant during any part of the game in either of the
skittle-grounds ? Witness—No, sir ;I do not recol-
lect seeing Mr. Morton at all before I lost my
money.
Mr. NORTON—Who was it that brought the wine ?
Witness—l cannot say, sir.
Mr. NORTON—Was the defendant's pot-boy there
during the game ? Witness—Yes, sir, he stuck up
the pins.
In his cross-examination by Mr. Simpson the wit-
ness said that he did not see the defendant at the
house before losing his money, nor could he swear
that the pot-boy was aware that they were playing
for money. He was present, however, when the pot-
boy had sworn that he bad seen the stakes deposited
and handed over to the person who had played with
him (witness).
Mr. NORTON—Have you any doubt whatever that
the pot-boy was aware of the fact that the money had
been deposited for the purpose of being played for ?
Witness—None whatever.

Mr. NORTON —The fact, however, we will have from
the potmen himself ; let him get into the witness-box.
The police said that they had not summoned him,
and

Mr. Simpson observed that his client, suspecting
that his pot-boy knew all about it, had discharged him
immediately after he bad given his evidence at this
court. He (Mr. Simpson) further begged leave to
state that no person more deeply regretted the occur-
rence, and that the young man Catton should have
lost his money at his house in the way described,
than Mr. Morton, his client, did, and ha was ready to
declare on his oath, if necessary, that the parties by
whom the fraud had been perpetrated were perfect
strangers to his house, and that he at the time had
not the slightest cognisance of what was going for-
ward, else he should have prevented anything wrong.
Mr. Morton had only been in the house for three
months, but had been in the public line for some
years, and he (Mr". W. Simpson) had in attendance
a number of the most respectable inhabitants of the
neighbourhood, as well as the officers of police, to
speak to the respectability of his house, and others to
vouch for his high character for many years.
Mr. Gray, a respectable tradesman in the Water-
leo-road, and several others, spoke in high terms of
ducting his house ; and the police corroborated the
the defendant's
latter. character,. and the mode of con-
Mr. NORTON remarked that from all he had heard
he felt satisfied that no culpability attached to the de-
fendant. The inquiry, however, he thought a very
proper one, and justice would be met by the defendant
paying the expenses.
Mr. Simpson begged that instead of doing this, and
having the matter recorded and sent before the coun-
try magistrate as an offence, his client might be al-
lowed to put half-a-crown in the poor-box and this
was assented to.

- Cueslum, MAT 24.—The Otter steam-paeket,
from Holyhead, arrived here last Saturday afternoon ;
she has struck her pennant, and the crew have been
sent to their homes. On Monday morning one of
the crew named Pritcher was missing from the vessel,
and as he did not make his appearance in the course
of the forenoon fears were' entertained that he had
gone overboard ; a search with the drags was there-
fore made, and on Tuesday the body, was found'
near the Tartar frigate.. An inquest has since been
held, when a verdict "Found drowned " was re-
turned. It is supposed by his Shipmates that he,
walked-overboard in his sleep. It is remarkable that
the deceased had a brother serving in the same vessel,'
and who about fourteen weeks ago disappeared from;
the vessel at Holyhead, when after two or three days
search he was found drowned; he also was supposed;
to have walked overboard in his sleep.
The Magicienne steam-slopp is fast progressing,;
the ship's bottom is, being coppered, and the riggers;
are proceeding rigging the fore and wizen masts,
The Nankin, 50 guns, fa proceeding very fast With!
'her fittings, and the shipwrights have commenced!
coppering her bottom.
On, Thursday a very lengthened inquiry took place;
before the captain-superintendent, Captain Peterf
Richards, C. 8., and William Webb Hayward, Ad-1
miralty solicitor, concerning a quantity of copper,r
consisting of sheet copper, bolts, nails, &c., all bearin
the Queen's mark. It appears that two fficers went
sent down to Chatham' on Tuesday, the .14th inst.;
in consequence of some information, and they eta-;
tioned themselves near the dockyard gates when thn
men went to dinner and left the yard in the evening;
On Wednesday evening, at half-past six o'clock;
as the workmen came out of the yard, they followed
a caulker, of the name of Thomas Dracon, intd
Chatham, when he entered the shop of Harrison;
a general dealer, and took from his breast 4
piece of sheet copper, which was carefully wrapped
up in whiteybrown paper. After the copper had been
purchased the officers entered the shop and seized
took' both Dracon and Harrison into custody, and
immediately brought them to the Superintendent'
office, where they were ordered to be detained. The
officers then searched Harrison's premises and there
found 1551b5. of copper and, metal belonging to the.
Crown ; these facts were detailed in evidence, and
Harrison was ordered to . pay a fine of 101. Witb
respect to Dracon, who bad up to this time borne
very excellent character, and has been in the yard
ever since he was a boy, the decision of the ILdmiralti
must be obtained before any steps are taken with rer
gard to his punishment. Of the copper thus found
some of the pieces are in the form of a shoe, others in
that of breastplates, with holes at the top for the
string to go round the neck. There can be no doubt
that this system of robbery has been carried on to
some extent. A general search was made by the
Dockyard police yesterday in every man's box, chesti
and storerooms. The circumstance has eddied muci:
uneasiness throughout the yard.
