" We regard the work before us, "' The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing mast clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a losst o know.
Wernust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in Its pages."
Age and Argus.
"The' Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The persnicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
.those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
Pali to recommend It to a careful perusal."—Era.

THE WEATHER.

TIM ACCIDENTS ON THE ICE, &c.

The slight fall of snow which took place during Sun-
day night did not lave any material effect in diminish-
ing the severity of the frost which had preciously existed.
At seven o'clock on Monday morning the mercury in the
thermometer at the Receiving-house, Hyde-park, stood
as low as 24 ; at noon it had reached 27 degrees, and
varied throughout the afternoon from that point to 29}
up to six o'clock, when it rose to 32, the freezing point.
The wind throughout the day continued blowing, though
not severely, from the N.N.E.
The Parks were, from an early hour, again thronged
by respectably-dressed people. The ice on the Serpen-
tine and the round pond of Kensington-gardens had, in
consequence of the continued frost during the night of
Sunday, considerably improved in condition, but still in
many parts it was exceedingly dangerous, and in no few
instances were the services of the icemen called into re-
quisition. With the exception of several immersions,
no accident of anything like a serious character occurred.
It is computed that from 3,000 to 10,000 persons must
have been on the Serpentine during the day.
In the Regent's Park, although the snow which fell
during the previous night rendered the surface of the
ice on the ornamental waters, through its adhesion to it
during the earlier part of the day, exceedingly dangerous,
still the ice itself was found in excellent condition, and
upwards of two inches and a half in thickness. Through-
out the day this place was visited by several thousand
persons. The only casualty which occurred was to a
young gentleman, named Bingham, a medical student,
residing in Maids. Vale, Edgware-road, who, coming in
violent collision with a gentleman who was skating in an
opposite direction. was thrown down and received a
severe fracture of the right thigh. Being in company
with several friends, a cab was procured, and he was at
once conveyed to his residence. Although the members
of the Skating Club have not yet pitched their tent in
this Park, a number of its members were observed,
during the day, enjoying this healthful recreation. The
spot selected by them was not, as usual, facing Sussex-
terrace, but in the more secluded part of the ornamental
water, near the Marquis of Hertford's villa.
The number of persona on the lake of St. James's
Park was limited, in consequence of the extreme in-
security of the ice ir. many places, owing to breakages
made therein for the aquatic birds, and also on account
of the accitlent which had taken place on Sunday. It
is now feart d that several persons were on that occa-
sion drowned. During the day the Humane Society's
men have been employed in dragging, and what con
firms this belief is, that three or four hats have been
found, and the reporter was informed that one of them
had been identified by a female as belonging to her son,
who bad not been home since he went out on Sunday
afternoon. Up to seven o'clock on Monday evening, how-
, ever, no bodias had bean found.
