Lway
This work contains an accurate-complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It nn-
fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering trom 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 beyord the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where
alone it can bo procured. Dr. LA'AlliitT has taken the highest
medical honours. as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH. APRIL IC.
The supply of wheat at market this day was small, and the
growers were unwilling to submit to the reduction advised of
in London on Monday. It sold at a slight abatement upon
last week's price. Of barley there were stveral samples very
fine in quality, but the malsters having secured their quantity
for the season this article met a very dragging sale. Malt
neglected.

hlessrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—Arrivals in-
crease—the trade does not improve, and is altogether in a
very unsatisfactory state ; millers are merely buyers from
hand to mouth, although no doubt universally low in stock,
and the supply of English is fully adequate to this kind of
buying without foreign, which is also generally hrld for com-
paratively higher terms. Farmers brought forward a mode-
rate supply of wheat for this day's market, and which met a
free sale at Is below the current rates of last week. Very
little doing in foreign, for the reason assigned above, and no
extent of choice on the market. Only the finest and picked
samples of barley are now taken by our maltsters, and such are
not procurable on lower terms; other descriptions of malting
are next to unsaleable, while grinding goes off pretty freely at
our low quotations, and some few parcels have been taken off
the market by speculators. Beans are somewhat firmer, and
not many remaining on sale except Egyptian, of which a large
cargo is afloat. Very little business passing in either oats or
peas. Buyers have the advantage in linseed, which is dull,
and cakes are easier to buy. We are without a quotation for
rapeseed, and rape cakes suffer a decline. Bones are firmer.

SALE OF ENCUMBERED
ESTATES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sift,—Since tee publication in The Sun of a letter
which I lately addressed to you on the subject of the
Solicitor General's Bill for facilitating the sale of en-
cumbered estates, two letters have appeared in the Irish
papers, in which the writers, Mr. Stelleir, the Member
for the borough of Carlow, and Mr. VincentScully—like -
vvise, I believe, a Member of Parliament—express au
anxious desire to promote the object of what appears
to me, in common with yourself, au ill-advised, because
most partial, adaptaticn of a measure, which might be
rendered extremely useful if but equitably applied. I
should certainly be slow to assume that these gent:e-
men mean to adopt in its entirety the famous maxim of
that notable Jurist, Monsieur Prudhon, "La propr'6.4
cost le vol," and to deal with property accordingly, but
I must say that in the present instance they teem to me
to advocate that very ancent yet somewhat question-
able practice of politics' economists, keine n in the
homely language of our forefathers as " the robbing
Peter to pay Paul." Having pointed out the
very restricted lino of argument to which both
thes3 Learned Gentlemen have so closely con-
fined themselves, whilst pursuing it at groat length—
vie., " that considerable benefit would be conferred on
certain parties by the Bill in question"—the damage
likely to accrue therefrom to others being deemed un-
worthy of consideration, I will not follow it further,
granting that such might be its effect; but shall merely
observe in a general way, that their argument is equally
applicable to the defence of robbery in its most simple
form. A ten-pound note pilfered from my pocket might
doubtlessly prove useful as well as wele 'me to somebody
else; but whether the utility of robbery be thereby de-
monstrated, is a question which need hardly be put even
to those who have so largely employe' a similar method
of reasoning.
But to return, Sir, to the purpose with which I first
wrote to you, I would ask Englishmen to take a more
extended view of the proposed measure than has yet bet n
opened to them by any of its advocatos, to consider
whether its provisions be grossly unjust towards the
unencumbered owners of land in Ireland; and if they
be, whether the measure itself can prove wefil
to the country at large? It has often been asked,
why Ireland has ever thus bitterly
complained of
English rule ? It is because this practice of
legislating for expediency, without regard to equity, has
bred in that country a contempt f the law as a thing
wholly apart from justice. After the experience of era-
turies, is then the system to be persevered in and with
a people whose characteristic trait is still, as it was in
the days of Coke and Davis, that " under the sun the:a
are no greater lovers of justice;" but before English-
men can rightly understand this question as it regards
Ireland, they must be informed how utterly different tire
the circumstances of landed property here from what
they are in England. Why, at the present time it is
next to an impossibility to procure money upon its se-
curity, be that ever to good. This, however, they may
be enabled to comprehend by recalling the somewhat
analogous position of the mercantile interest in England
in the autumn of 1847, when men of great wealth and
undoubted credit were brought to the verge of bankruptcy
by the restriction of money; let them picture the Go-
vernment as coming forward on that occasion with a Bill
enabling the Bank of England to relot its rules in favour
of a particular section of a particular class of merchants,
and that in such a manner as would necessarily increase
the pressure on the remaining portions of the mercantile
interest, what reception would such legislation have met
with in England? Would it have teen tolerated? Yet
similar in character is the mode of legislation which it
is now proposed to apply to Ireland. But I hope that
ere this sufficient cause has been shown by others to
justify the demand that full and mature consideration
be given to Sir John Romilly's Bill, and asking leave
to thank you for the space in your columns which has
already been allowed me for this purpose,
I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,
C. 11. BOWEN.

MADAME PULSzaT'S "MEMOIRS OF A HUNGARIAN
LADY."—The Edinburgh Rettiew, just published, contains a
very itifeititilig notice of this tethathable work. "The
nationality of the people, their martial prowess, and present
unhappy fate (say s the Review) have invested Hungary with
the interest of a second Poland, 'and Western Europe must
be naturally desirotts to learn something of their civil and
social life. These 'Mantes Are the joint production of M. and
Madame Pulszky. While the latter tettitis het impressions
and recollections of Hungarian life, we have to thank M.
Pulsaky fot a very able summary. of the history of Hungary,
from the days of Arpad to the reign of Ferdinand the First,
and the reform illoitenient—nt history which abounds in in-
teresting incidents and useful lessons for the statesman and
the philosophic historian. Madame Prilszk,y's narrative of
her wanderings and dangers is agreeably diversified with
sketches and anecdotes front Magyar life, as well as with
ancient legends from Hungarian history and modern pas-
Sagea in the late war of independence. It cannot fail to ex-
cite an interest in all classes of readers—in those who open
a book only for amusement, as well as in those who look
to literature for something more enduring."
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—About ten o'clock yester-
day morning John Jane, one of the men employed to unload
the ice from the barges at the Wenham Lake Ice Company's
stores, near the Waterloo-bridge, met with so serious an ac-
cident that his life is despaired of. The blocks of ice are this
year unusually large, some of them exceeding 50111 b. in
weight, and a horse is employed, by means of ropes and
tackle, to raise them from the barge to a platform, from
which they are carted for storage to the ice-houses. The un-
fortunate man was employed to detach the blocks from the
ice-tongs on its reaching the platform. By some means one
of the blocks in its ascent caught the beam which crosses
the barge, and the horse, not being stopped in time, pulled
down the poles to which the tackle was fixed and the plat-
form, from which the poor fellow was precipitated head fore-
Most, and fractured his skull. He was immediately con-
veyed in a cab to the Westminster Hospital, and, from the
extent of his wounds, not the slightest hopes are entertained
of his surviving more than a few hours.
DISCOYERT of HUMAN REMAINS.—On Friday, as
the workmen on the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway
were sinking for ballast gravel on a part of the estate of Mr.
T. G. Parry, at Higham, near this city, they disinterred
twelve skeletons, all apparently the remains of full grown
men. Some of the skeletons were lying somewhat con-
fusedly, as if the bodies to which they once belonged had
been rather carelessly consigned to their common grim; but
others, and one in particular, had evidently been respectfully
interred, and the coffins formed of blocks of Painawick
stone, had been built round them. It is conjectured that
-they-were the bodieS of some of the officers and soldiers who
fell at the siege of Gloucester during the civil wars between
Charles I. and Ws Parliament,_ cultenhani thrurnal.

OVERLAND MAIL
INDIA AND CHINA.

We have received:accounts• in anticipation of the
Overland Mail, will dates from Bombay to the
16th of March ; Madras, 13th of March ; Calcutta,
7th of March ; and Hong-Kocg, 27th of February.
Sir Charles Napier issued a general order on the
subject of the mutiny of the • 66th Bengal Native
Infantry, by which that regiment is disbanded, its
colours being delivered over to the Nussaree battalion,
which is henceforth to be denominated " the 66th or
Goorka Regiment." The result of the expedition
sent from Peshawur against the hill tribes near Kohat
has not proved so satisfactory as was at first antici-
pated. The object of the expedition was to reinforce
the post of Kohat, which had been cut off and
endangered by the insurrection of these tribes, to
chastise them for their uprovoked massacre
of our Sappers and Miners, and . to clear
the passes and restore the communication between
Pesbawur and Kohat. The first object has been at-
tained by the re-inforcement of .Kohat, but in
traversing what Sir Charles styles " a dangerous
defile 145 miles in length, exposed to a constant fire
of matchlockmen," Sir C. Campbell has lost 107 of
all ranks, killed and wounded, which is supposed
greatly to exceed the loss of the enemy. The passes
still remain closed; the enemy are said to be highly.
exasperated at what has occurred ; and a second
pedition on a larger-scale, is talked of. Sir Cht4lell
Napier was breendldaliore. Colonel Yoitinia
her Majesty's 10th Foot, died at Vizierabad orCalaF
20th of February. The ex-Maharajah DlitiJeep
Singh had arrived at his place of exile, Futtyghur, on
the 12th of February. Some disturbance has been
crested in Assam by the hill tribes of its frontier:
The accounts of the destruction of the town of
Mulkapore, in the Nizsm's dominions, is con-
firmed. The anarchy and bankruptcy of that state
appear worse than ever. Trade at Bombay is im-
proving slightly.
Sir Charles praises the conduct of Colonel Brad-
ford, Ist Light Cavalry, on the occurrence of the
mutiny, as "decided and judicious." He expresses
his approbation of " the prompt, decided, and reso-
lute conduct of Captain INl'Domald, the fort adjutant,
which conduct the Commander-in-Chief believes pre-
vented the Fort of Govindghur from falling into the
hands of the mutineers." Major Troup's conduct on
the occurrence of the mutiny is lauded as "cool, re-
solute, and deserving of the highest praise ; but he is
severely reprimanded far disobedience of orders in not
having previously at Lucknow read and explained to
the Sepoys of his regiment the Governor-General's
order of October 2.5, 1844, which was intended to
prepare the Sepoy regiments about to enter the Pun-
jaub for the withdrawal of Sinde allowances. For
the future, Govindghur will not he trusted to Native
troops alone, a wing of one of the European corps at
Lahore being detached to form part of the garrison.
Sir Charles Napier has issued a general order
econ-
cerning the expedition against the Affueedies, highly
complimentary to all engaged, and d tailed accounts
of the operations of this four days' campaign, have
appeared in the Indian newspapers. Sir Charles
Napier states the objects of the expedition to have
been "to chastise the Affoeedies, and to reinforce the
force of Kohat which, by their insurrection, had been
cut off and placed-in danger." Tne chastisement ap-
pears to have been insufficient, for the passes are still
closed, and another Affoeedie expedition is talked of,
but the fort of Kohat has been successfully rein-
forced by Cooke's Punjaub Infantry and Daly's Pun-
jaub Cavalry.
The Commander-in-Chief thus shortly describes
the nature of the operations :—" The fighting and
labour fell upon those wbo had to scale the preci•
pices, to secure the camp, and, when marching, to
protect the front, flanks, and rear of the column,
while passing twice through a. dangerous defile of
thirteen miles in length, under a constant fire from
matchlockmen." _ - _

The ex-Maharajah Dhuleep Singh arrived at his
place of exile (Futteghur) on the 12th of February.
A garden has been made, and the grounds cf the house
in which he resides have been laid out very tastefully
for him.

The Commission appointed to inquire into the
chirges of forgery in interpolating a treaty, brought
against Ali Morad Khan, of Khyrpoor, consists (J.'
Mr. Pringle, Commissioner in Sinde, who is Presi-
dent ; Major Lang, Political Agent in Katte,.var ;
and Major Jacob, commanding Linde Irregular
Horse. _ _ _ _

JA.,I•
The Calcutta Englishman reports some distnrb-
ances on the frontier of Assam, occasioned by a bill
tribe, called Nagas, having succeeded in driving a
large detachment of Sepoys out of their hills, by
burning their provisions.
One of the drying-houses at the Madras powder-
mills blow up on the 14th of March, killing fiur men
and wounding others. The cause of the accident is
unknown.

The accounts of the districts of Mulkapoor were
confirmed, the Rsjoop faction,
assisted by about 200
Seikhs, were victorious over the Mussulmans and
their allies, but a body of the victors were inter-
cepted and deprived of their plunder by the troops
sent from Aurungabad to quell the riot. The
Nizsm's financial and Ministerial difficulties remained
unabated, and a crisis in both cases appeared im-
minent.
