Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader, We trust that this may not he the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, With no other object than to fill their own prses. The difference between true Spermatorrheea and the various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary charter, that we have Goarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' Is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

DECAY OF THE OTTOMAN POPULA TION. —A MORAL LESSON.—Some time since an article in the Times, on the decay of the Mussulman popu lation in Asia Minor, attracted much attention, both amongst politicians and physiologists. Referring to the visible and portentous fact, the writer did not hesitate to ascribe it mainly to one peculiar and vitiating influence, which is more destructive of happiness health, and life than any other in dividual cause that could be named. The truth and soundness of the writer's views were ad mitted. It would be moat salutary if we could gather from his reason ings and de monstrations instruction applicable to our own social co n d i tion. Is it n o t a f ac t th a t in innumerable i ns tances, matrimonial dis appointment and misery, unwilling celibacy, physic al and menta l anguish, the existence of which is known only t o the suffe rer himself , have their source in g erm of which is causes the often planted in early life, and tne bitter fruit tasted long afterwards. Dr. LAWERT. m.D., &c., is the only qualified practitioner on the Medical Ilegister, and has been engaged for 20 years in the treatment of these unhappy ease , , which, through the disappointment of jest expectations, seriously compromise family objects and prospects, and prevent the accomplish ment of designs on which important i nterests depend.

The markets, and slaughter-houses, and cov, - -houses have also been duly inspected, and the officers have seized 24,7331 b., or rather more than 21 tons of meat, and 1,611 head of game and poultry, as unfit for human food. It consisted of 218 sheep, 14 calves, 61 pigs, 131 quarters of beef, 175 joints of meat, 16 haunches and quarters of venison, 32 hares, 43 fowls, 48 rabbits, 15 ducks, 159 geese, 2 swans, 2 peahens, 70 head of game, 1,223 wild fowl, and a basket of larks. All the game and poultry were putrid; but of the meat 18,0251 b. were diseased, 1,3781 b. were putrid, and 5,3301 b. were from animals that had died from disease or na• tural causes. It is the practice now to sprinkle the meat with a solution of carbolic acid, or creosote of coal-tar, and then to send it to the boilers. By this means the further decomposition of the meat is ar rested, and the use of it as human food entirely pre vented. Although the quantity of meat seized dur ing this quarter is very large, it is only about half the amount of the corresponding quarter of last year. It is, however, considerably more than that of the preceding quarter; and there are signs of an increase in the proportion of bad meat sent to the City markets." At the above meeting a report was brought up from the General Purposes Committee, stating that they had examined the Thames Embankment Bill now before the select committee of the House of : I, e; d t oCfo its m m p o r n o s vi s for io e n o s n a s i s d r e e r l a a t t i e o n t o ; ie; proposer n reference st to such from Blackfriars to the Mansion House, they had their attention drawn by the surveyor to certain lateral streets connected therewith, as it had been suggested that endeavours should be made to obtain an improvement in each of the said lateral streets in the manner shown in plans which had been laid be fore them ; and they were of opinion that it was de sirable the surveyor should be instructed to attend the select committee in the House of Commons to explain the same. The report also stated that the committee had arranged with the parish authorities of Allhallows Barking to carry out the improvement by widening Barking-alley round the churchyard, and also that they had negotiated, through the soli citor and surveyor, in respect to the proposed im provement in Paternoster-row and London House yard, and expected that they would be enabled to report to the Court that the whole of the arrange n bsct m acoyt e ms, nts completed. s al eec f tFtt o eoa r adrl 0 0l ws e CI v fmi completed,hnerugl. melting ric t nh h e gy e a raw : r o oado u r nnu dlh t dttahh f bd r ea o et mcbte City eey P t nr a seu t o e l ylsr Solicitor, n o i otc s noe t r e e: r- aa uw r ow s satisfac torily ae y yd sub sequently reported that the arrangements had been with. IAY REVIEW-2'HE (From the Wissex Express.) The first troops, it appeal 9, will leave London at half-past five. On their arrival at the Brighton terminus, betwe en seven an d eigilt) they will be formed four deep an d w ill mar ch dawn Trafalgar street into the North Steyne Enclosures/ which, as ' we stated some time ago, have been p l ac ed by the trustees at the service of the volunteers. Here they will "pile arms," and then be allowed to " break off " and disperse in order to obtain re freshments. The gardens of the two North Steyne Enclosures, and those of the Pavilion and the Old S:eyne, are all to be devoted to this purpose; the public, of course, being excluded. About 9 o'clock these troot,s will re-assemble, unpile arms, and march along the whole front of the Marine-pride, past Kemp Town, turning up the road bet ween. Kemp Town and the Gas Works, whicva leads to. White Hawk Down. The hoops which arrive later at the railway terminus will a2ight on the Montpe lier-road side of the railway station, and r2.01t down the Montpelier-road, along Viaduct-terrace, on to the Level, whence they will proceed north ward along the Lewes-road as far as the Bcar Inn, taking the road which leads past the Windmills up , to the Downs. A third route through the town is. marked on the map—viz., by the Queen's- road,, down West-street, on to the King's-road, and thence along the Marine -parad e , in the track of the first corners. But the obvious inconvenience of troops marching along so crowded a thoroughfare will probably lead to this route being dispensed with. So, again, the adoption of the east side of the grand central route, by the Grand-parade, Pavilion-parade, and the east side of the Old Steyn e , will probably be altered to the west side, selected last year, and so leaving all the thoroughfares to the Dow ns , by St. James's-street, Edward-street, &c., open to the pub lic. The Racehill•road is left quite free to the public, and will no doubt be the favourite approach. The different enclosures occupied by the troops from the Level to the Old Steyne, are lettered on the map from Ato F. The northern portion of the enclosure ro znd St. Peter's Church is included among them ; but it is L nen to doubt whether this will be called into use. -vit h :7l the troops are once on the hill, the ground selected to: the evolutions will be nearly the sable as that occupied iiy the Sussex Volunteers in their sham fight with the L Bth Hussars in Sep tember last. It is called W h i te Zawk •Down" in the plan, and is the ridge which rises about mid way between the horse-shoe which the rightont race-course describes. This ridge just hides from the sight of the Grand Stand the rifle-butts of the Ist Sussex Volunteer Corps; bat the whole of the troops stationed on the ridge itself will be in fulii sight of the spectators on both sides of the Race hill—on the Grand Stand side to the west, and on the opposite side to the east. The formation of the troops along the ridge will be in two lines; the infantry in eight brigades, fronting to the Grand Stand, forming the first line, and the artillery and cavalry in the rear, the second line. The extent of the ground occupied will be very considerable, running parallel with the whole west side of the Race-course up to the loop which is made in the new course for the return home. And it is thought that the removal of the railings of the loop will be necessary, in order to make room for the movements of the troops. There are some stacks standing on the above ridge. These stacks will be in the very centre of the position, between the in fantry and the cavalry. Each infantry brigade will consist of four battalions. The cavalry will be com posed of-1. The 18th Hussars. 2. The Surrey Light Horse Volunteers. 3. The Hants Light Horse Volunteers. The artillery will include three batteries of four 18-pounders; gone battery of four 6-pounders. At the termination of the review the troops will march past the Grand Stand homeward. It is not possible to state the exact number of the troops which will take part in the review, but in all probability it will range from 15,000 to 20,000. From the above statement it will be perceived that a full view of the whole affair will be enjoyed by the public whether they occupy the west or the east or the north side of the Race-hill. The field of operations will be completely overlooked by the spectators, and let these be as numerous as they may, one thing is certain there will be room enough and to spare for all. The line which we have marked out as the race course is merely sufficient to show that the review will be on the south-eastern side of the race course, looking towards the sea, confining itself to that broad expanse open on the last occasion to the public, but not extending to the Ovingdean Valley as before. This will be a most eligible spot, as the ground is undulated, and will therefore present many points of greater interest to the spectator. There is certainly room for at leatt 200,000 people to view the spectacle with the greatecit comfort. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1802, THE JAPANESE AMBASADORS. The Japanese Ambassadors were received on Sun day by the Emperor at the Tuileries. At half•past two five Court carriages went to the Hotel du Louvre to convey them to the Palace. The cortege entered the yard of the Tuileries by the Arc de Triomphe, troops being drawn up at each side to pay them military honours. The first carriage contained two noble Japanese officers, entitled to wear two swords, who carried a coffer containing the letter written by the Emperor of Japan to his Majf sty Napoleon 111. In the next carriage, drawn by six horses, were the second and third Am bassadors, attended by Baron Sibuet, secretary for the introduction of foreign representatives ; in the next, also drawn by six horses, was the first Am bassador, with the title of Minister Plenipotentiary, accompanied by Baron Lepic, introducer of ambas sadors ; and in two other carriages, with two horses each, were other officers, and the interpreters of the Embassy. They alighted under the entrance of the Pavillon d'Horloge, and there fixed in their belts the second sword, which in Japan is a mark of high distinction. They were received at the foot of the grand staircase, on which were ranged the Cent Gerdes, by the Duke de Cambaceres, Grand Master of the Ceremonies. After having passed through the Galerie de la Paix, and the magnificent rooms of the Palace, they were introduced into the Salle du Trone. The Emperor, the Empress, and. the Prince Imperial were there seated in state, sur rounded by the whole Court. The gentlemen were in full official costume, and the ladies in Court dresses and trains. The Chief of the Embassy, after having made a profound obeisance to their Majes ties, delivered the following address in Japanese, which was repeated in French by one of the inter preters : " Sire,—According to the orders of his Majesty the Tycoon, we have the honour of presenting our selves this day at the audience of your Majesty. " Since the conclusion of the treaty between France and Japan relations tend to develope them selves more and more between those two countries; our Sovereign has consequently charged us to deliver a personal letter to your Majesty, and to express to you, at the same time, the sincerity of his devotedness and his desire to see the treaty maintained. " Our Sovereign has ordered us to respectfully make known to your Majesty that he attaches great value to the fact that, by your Imperial kindness, the Embassy sent to Europe is to be con veyed back to Japan on board a French vessel of war. "We conclude by expressing the best wishes for the welfare of your Majesty and of your august family, as well as for the happiness and prosperity of the French nation." The Emperor replied in the following terms : " I am happy to see for the first time in France the representatives of the Emperor of Japan. " The treaty which we have entered into together will, I hope, lead to favourable results for the two countries. "I doubt not that your residence in France will give you a just idea of the grandeur of our nation ; the reception which you will here meet with, and the freedom which you will enjoy, will convince y ou that hospitality is one of the first virtues of a civi lised nation. " I will willingly have you conveyed back to your country by a vessel of war, and you will carry with the remembrance of your voyage to Europe the assurance of my desire to keep up the most friendly relations with Japan." The Embassy then retired, and was conveyed .back with the same ceremonial to the Hotel du Louvre. The members of the Embassy wore cos tumes of the richest kind, and their arms were mag- nifieent. The valuable presents for their Majesties, which had been sent via Suez, have not yet arrived. THE INTERNATIONAL EXIIIBMON. It seems difficult to take an impartial view of the great question whether the Exhibition will or will not be ready and in order on the day fixed for the opening. Of course, as to the opening there is no matter of doubt. Ready or not ready the public will be admitted by the Ist of May. What is trembling in the balance is the complete ness or otherwise of the display which will then be presented to their view. If a chance visitor to the Eastern or Western Annexes, or the most complete section of the building—the English half—were asked to give his opinion, we expect he would un hesitatingly declare that it was next to impossible to make a show even by June. But those who see day by day the progress which is made in a few hours would be likely to take a much more sanguine view of the case, though even to the most sanguine it seems difficult to believe that a great deal—a very great deal—of work will not have to be done after the opening. The foreign side, in spite of the exertions of Mr. Owen, the superintendent of this division, have quite lost the long start they had of our countrymen, and are now confessedly behindhand in their work, and in several important courts in this class not a dozen cases are in the building. This backwardness is especially evident in the picture galleries. All the English pictures, owing to the care and diligence of Mr. Redgrave, have long since been placed on the walls; but the galleries on the foreign side are still almost bare. Stringent notices have been posted as to the removal of packingcases and completion of trophies in the nave before the 26th of this month ; but even notices from the Commissioners cannot compass im possibilities, and such it seems to be to expect that the foreign side can be ready in time. In respect of the arrangement of this half of the nave, how ever, we cannot help thinking that the foreigners' plans will contrast very favourably with ours. The English end of the building is, as a rule, filled with the finest trophies which the arts or manufactures of this country can produce, but, with rare excep tions, they are so crowded together as quite to spoil their effect, and in some cases—as in that of Mr. Wilkins's mast of a light ship—a really coarse and unsightly obstruction is placed vis-a-vis to some of the most elaborate and artistic designs in the build ing. On the foreign side all this is avoided. Ample passage-ways are kept, the trophies are few but rich and well chosen, and are placed in such a manner as to harmonise admirably. Yesterday the model of the Warrior by the Thames Iron Works, with a large section model, showing the manner of build ing, was placed in the nave. Such trophies as these and others exhibited by distinct trades deserve the best places that can be given, but the feeling is strong and unanimous, even among the executive staff of the building, against permitting the mast of p t b h eo e er nta light nset,n at snhwdi without hn t ofi o un remain mt ao w tri h eo e nb r e (s ianu i t ttoi i f s ut . hl e t r (l o s i p u d i h e t i e e c s a o s h u have n i s e . a t r o p o ' sm much c e h a u shut h i f u u t l in d i a n n k d i n s g o m f e o u statuesntain s are hereafter to be pl ace d i n o M i t t h r i rEs, said, the nave, will scarcely be visible at all. In philosophical and scientific instruments of all kinds the English portion of the Exhibition will be unusually rich. These are included in Classes 13 and 25, which are placed under the super tendence of Mr.C. R.Weld. Class 13 (philosophical instruments and the processes depending upon their use) comprises almost every description of the newest and most improved kinds of philosophical, optical, and t e l egra phic apparatus, mod e l s o f en gines, &c. A mong th e e xhibitors are all th e great makers of i nstruments i n England, with a l arge number sho wn b y sc i ent ifi c g entlemen.

The British and Irish Company exhibit an i n . genious and novel system of controlling turret and other clocks, patentedby Mr. L. Jones, of Chester, unlike any previouslyin use; the clocks being con trolled only, and not /Loved either in whole or part, by electricity. The tiree clocks shown are in all respects, excepting tI pendulum, of ordinary con struction, and will go without the electric current, keeping their own lima The pendulum is a hollow electro-magnet, oscillate gover or around permanent magnets. When a currant is sent, second by second from a controlling cloec, the temporary attraction between the electro-n agne t an d : th e permanen t magnet compels the astrolled pendulum to copy the vibrations of the eel ller, even thaugh there may be a discrepancy (f several minutes in their daily independent rates The above company also send the acoustic telegraph, a clever and extensively used instrument, invented by Sir Charles and Mr. E. Bright. By its means a telegraph clerk, in taking off a message, writes it himself without being obliged to raise his eyes from tlb paper, the signals being pair of bells of different il a er side of his writing-desk. tones,produce oned b placedy on jt The other telegraph instruments shown and in use by the company consist of Highton'e needle tele graph telegraph. There transmitting re l a y, pa t en t e d b y t h e is also and a Messrs. Bright for tus, in connection with a needle telegraph, by mesas of which the taking off of a message at an internediate station is rendered unnecessary, extra batters power being used instead. We also notice a rareflecr-aii lightning protector, patented by these gentlemen, and specimens of in sulators used by the company on their extensive lines of road telegraph throughout the kingdom. Professor Wheatstone's most ingenious, but most simple, telegraph for domestic use is to be shown in working order. Mr. Walker, the telegraph engineer of the South-Eastern Railway, will show the appa ratus in use throughout the lines of the company for train signalling. The most important f ea t ure in this valuable apparatus is its extreme simplicity, being almost destitute of mechanism in order to lessen the chance of its getting out of repair. Mr. Walker also exhibits a graphite battery in work, remarkable for its simplicity of action, and the con stancy of the power evoked ; an audible system of train-signals; an index for counting, and an appa ratus for recording them. None of these most valuable contrivances are patented. Messrs. Elliot a number of electrometers of the most deli ca t e ki nd; large electrifying machines, with ebonite di scs ; im proved air-pumps on a large scale ; drawin g instru ments in aluminium, and shell m t iniunil ;bronze, &c. ; mi crometer gauges for h improved quadrants for levelling rifled cannon; and a large and very beau tiful sectional model of a steam engine, with all the latest improvements. Messrs. Murray and Heath t will show an improvement upon the elect r i c l amp , by which the electrodes are kept at any clockwork o r dis tancesmotio. nwitAhnoutimtphreov eimproved intervention inst r um e nfor observingo f k the circular polarisation of liquids, and an entirely new reflecting stereoscopic microscope, as might be expected, form a most prominent feature in this class. All the principal makers of these important instruments, which have, since their great improve ment, developed microscopic study into a distinct science, show their most valuable and simple apparatus, from the costly binocular instrument which defines the globules of the blood or the circulation of vegetables, down to the cheap but serviceable instrument for the young student or schoolboy. The collection of improved binocular microscopes will be one of the finest of the kind ever seen. In this class also will be shown some exquisitely-adjusted balances and weights bal ances which the 100th part of a grain would turn at once. Mr. Warren De la Rue exhibits a most interesting series of photographs, showing the pro gress of the late total eclipse of the sun, as seen in Spain. Among the chief exhibitors in this class also are the great makers, Messrs. Negretti and Zambra. Their show of scientific and philosophical instruments will be one of the most complete and extensive of all. Some of their instruments are entirely new, and most of the important ones, upon the instant action of which scientific observation depends, are self-registering. Among these will be shown a thermometer so exquisitely sensitive as to rise at once upon the approach of the hand within two or three inches. This was made specially to test the temperature of the body and coils of the python during her attempted incubation at the Zoological Gardens. This class of philosophical in struments also contributes trophies to the nave, among them the large telescopes by Messrs. Grubb, Dalmeyer, and Cooke. Lighthouse lanterns, with all the rt cent improvements, are also shown, includ ing, among others, the execrable red post and ball we have already referred to. The now Observatory, under the management of a committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, send a beautiful series of instruments for the automatic registration of the variations of magnetometers. These present some convenient, though not very im portant modifications of Mr. Brook's ingenious in struments as employed at the Observatories of Greenwich and Paris. Class 25 is also under the care of Mr. Weld, and includes skins, furs, feathers, and hair. There will really be a splendid show of articles in this section. One very fine trophy will be formed entirely of ostrich feathers, and another, almost equally beautiful, of hair and hair or naments. Messrs. Nicholay, the Court furriers, also exhibit a splendid trophy in this class in the nave. It will contain specimens of the rarest and most valuable kinds of skins from the tropics to the Arctic circle. The great feature of this trophy will be a Royal Bengal tiger endeavouring to free itself from the attack and coils of a huge boa-constrictor. The boa which is here represented as making this attack was alive and coiling about less than four months ago. In other parts of the trophy will be placed the rarest and most costly descriptions of fur-lined coats, cloaks, and mantles ; army regulation outfits as supplied to the Crimean and Canadian troops—Russian and North American sable and ermine circular cloaks, stuffed specimens of the rarest of all the rare skins, those of the silver and white Arctic fox, stuffed groups of ermines, leopards, &c. In the centre of the trophy will be exhibited a large full carpet of splendid design and tepvhin and Sons are workmanship, with rugs, representi ng l eopar d s almost lifelike in their bold relief. I n l ea th er ( c l ass display indeed, in undressed, and c 2 l 6 a ) di there ag a all will ikind sllbe of a hidesvery goodof dressed, essed, showing consisting of an assortment of morocco, roan, and ski ver l ea th ers, gloving leathers from Cape sheep, calf, l am b, an d kid skins. This trophy is surmount e d b y a f a ll ow deer, with a group of beads of the. an i ma l s w h ose eB gt on hides are chiefly used in the leather trade. America at the last moment has applied for and obtained space for exhibition, but the appli cat i on has been so long delayed that when it came i t was not i n the power of the Royal Commissioners to give them any division in the foreign countries, all the space in which having been allotted and occupied. For tunately, however, space was found in the south east corner of the building between the entrance of the British side and the carriage department. The show of goods from tho States which are to occupy this portion of the building is, as might be expected, neither large nor important, when compared with what would have been sent but for the outbreak of the civil, war. N o tenders have yet been received for tne right of taking photographs in the building during the time of the Exhibition. Some of the first firms in the kingdom are 'willing, we be lieve, to give the Commissioners very large sums for this privilege, but all are at present withheld from making an offer by the most absurd condition with which they are a clogge--namely, that the Commissioners will n ot provide any space or room for photographers, or for their processes of develop ing or preparing their plates or otherwise, all of which processes must be carried on beyond the limits of the Exhibition buildings. If this rule is adhered to, not a single shilling will be offered for the privilege, for, as any practical photographer can tell the Commissioners, the so called privilege of taking views will be utterly worthless unless they have some place in the building in which to prepare and develop their plates. In the form of tender issued there is no date put as to the time before which the offer is to be sent in, and, above all, the photographers most justly complain that they are required, when stating the sum which they are willing to pay for the right, to state also how many copies of every photograph " which may be taken in the building they are willing to place at the disposal of the Commissioners for distribu tion, but not for sale." If in the tenders for refresh ments the contractor was called upon to specify how many free dinner tickets each day would be placed at the disposal of the Commissioners for distribution but not for sale, the public, we think, would express their opinion very freely upon the nature of such an agreement, and we confess we are at a loss to see the difference in principle between such an arrangement and that which the Commis sioners expect to make with the photographers, THE SANITARY CONDITION OF TILE CITY OF LONDON. At the weekly meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers, held yesterday—Mr. De Jersey in the chair —Dr. Letheby, the medical officer, presented his quarterly report on the sanitary condition of the City, which was as follows: "In the winter quarter, which has just expired, there were 805 births, and 769 deaths in the City. Both of these numbers are below the average for the corresponding quarters of the last ten years. The births, indeed, have declined from 919 to 805, and the deaths from 840 to 769. As usual, the largest amount of this reduction has been found in the central division of the City. 0 The 805 births in the quarter were thus distri buted :-326 were in the Eastern Union, 196 in the Western, and 283 in the Central. These are in the annual proportion of 31.8 for 1,000 of the inhabi tants of the first-named district, 29.3 of the second, and only 24.4 of the third, making together a general average of 28.1 for the whole City. In all England, at this season of the year, the annual proportion of births is about 36 per 1,000 of the population. The birth-rate, therefore, in the City is much below the average. It is right, however, to mention that the number of births in the last quarter is greater than than that of the two pre ceding years. " The distribution of the deaths was as follows : —283 were in the Eastern Union, 199 in the Western, and 287 in the Central. These numbers are at the annual rate of 27.4 per 1,000 of the first named district, 29.8 of the second, and 24.7 of the third, making together 26.8 for the whole city. The average death-rate in England in the winter quarter is 24.8 per 1,000 of the population ; in the chief towns it is 26.5 per 1,000, and in the country districts only 22.5. The death-rate of the City has not, therefore, been above the proportion which is common to the large towns of England. It has, however, been somewhat high in the Western sub division of the City, and especially in those parts which are densely overcrowded; but even there, there is a marked improvement, for the number of deaths is less than in anfwinter quarter for the last nine years. ,‘ 284 or about 37 per cent. of all the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 196 or rather more than 24 per cent, among persons of 60 and upwards. These are nearly in the pro portion of former years ; and, as usual, the largest mortality of children has been in the Eastern Union; there it has amounted to 45 per cent. of all the deaths ; whereas in the Western Union, with a po pulation almost as dense, it has been only 33 per cent. " The chief causes of death are classified in Ta ble 111. of the appendix; and it will be seen that the largest proportion is set down to inflammatory affections of the lungs, as pneumonia and bronchitis, which have occasioned about 22 per cent., or nearly one-fourth of all the deaths ; and the mortality has been chiefly among infants, showing how, with a little care, the high mortality of children might be prevented. Next to this in the order of severity is phthisis, a disease which causes about 11 per cent. of all the deaths ; and this, with hydrocepha lus, scrofula, and mesenteric disease, the other ma ladies of the tubercular class, make about 17 per cent. of all the deaths. The septic or zymotic dis eases have caused 152 deaths, which is nearly one fifth of the whole mortality. Of this number 44 were from continued fever, 25 from scarlet fever, 7 from diarrhoea, 7 from measles, 3 from erysipelas, and 66 from whooping-cough, croup, and diptheria. Some of these are below the average for the season, but others are greatly above it. Measles, for ex ample, have declined from 23 to 7, and diarrheas from 10 to 7; but continued fever has risen from 25 to 44; scarlet fever from 18 to 25 ; and whoop ing-cough, &c., from 44 to 66, Of all these the in crease in continued fever has been the most serious. As stated in the last quarterly report, it has bedn gradually progressing in severity since the summer of last year ; at that time the quarterly return was only 18 ; and in the winter quarter of 1861 it was but 19. This indeed has been the proportion of deaths from it in all the winter quarters of the last four years, but now it has advanced to 44, which is the highest mortality since the winter of 1855. The largest increase in the number of deaths has been in the central division of the City, which is not occupied by the poorer classes of the commu nity. The houses in this district are well built, are not over-crowded, and are supposed to have all the appliances which are necessary for maintaining their sanitary condition; and yet it is here that the disease has been most fatal. I alluded to this in my last quarterly report, and the experience of the quarter which has just expired confirms the obser vations which I then made, namely, that it is not the poor, but the better classes, which are at pre sent the subjects of continued fever. The question indeed is forced upon us whether the latter are not worse provided for, in respect - of many sanitary measures, than the former ; and I submit it for con sideration. It deserves to be noticed also that a large increase in the proportion of deaths from fever his generally preceded a more fatal epidemic. " As to the sickness returns for the quarter, they also have been somewhat larger than the average for there were 3,223 cases of illness attended among the poor of the City by the union medical officers. Of this number 129 were cases of fever and 57 of andthe diarrhoea. The fever ca ses are mo re than five time s as numerous as they w er e last winter, although they are below the average for the corresponding these housescases have period beenof the last subjects of f spec i alour years . inquiry, of in All in which they occurred were at once carefully in spected. " The meteorology of the quarter is seen in table IV. It is from observations at Guildhall, under the superintendence of Mr. Haywood. The mean tem perature (42.2 Fahr.) is rather more than 1 deg. above the average winter temperature in the City, and it is 4 degrees above the mean temperature at Greenwich. The highest temperature in the quarter has been 58.7 : it occurred in the middle of Feb. ; and the lowest 21.5, in the first week of Jan. The greatest daily range has been 22.3 deg, and the average 11 8. The fluctuations of the barometer have not been very great, but the humidity of the atmosphere has been excessively high ; for instead of an average of 83 deg, of saturation it has often exceeded 90, and the mean has been 89 deg. This has been occasioned by the unusal rain-fall during the quarter. Altogether there have been 45 wet days, and the amount of rain has been about 51 in. The average number of wet days in the winter quarter is only 35, and the rain-fall a little less than 4 in. " The sanitary work of the quarter is as follows HEALTH OF LONDON _DURING THE WEBS. (From the Regzstrar-General's Weekly Return.). The weekly return of births and deaths in Lon don, issued by authority of the Registrar-General, states that the deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,252 ; the number exhi bits a slight decrease on that of the previous week. The average number of deaths derived from the returns of corresponding weeks in ten previous years 1852-61 (corrected) is 1,306, compared with which the actual number is less by 54. The births last week exceeded the deaths in the same period by 642. . The deaths from typhus, which were 92 and 95 respectively in the two previous weeks, declined last week to 82. Of the last number 28 occurred under 20 years of age, 15 between 20 and 40 years, 24 in the period 40 60 years, 15 at 60 and upwards. There were none at 80 years, or any more advanced age. Nine deaths from typhus were returned in the week from the London Fever Hospital. Five oc curred in the sub-district of Mile-end New-town, of which four were in the workhouse. The Registrar of St. Mary, St. George in-the-East, states that " the fever which broke out in the sub-district is now on the decline; one of the medical officers of the parish died from it at its commencement,another now lies seriously ill." The registrar of the Borough road sub-district returns four deaths from typhus, and the registrar of Greenwich West also four. Three occurred in the week in Plumstead. Twenty deaths from scarlatina were reported as having occurred in the previous week in Lambeth Church sub-district, second part; the number re gistered last week is 11. On the 7th inst. two women, aged 73 and 78 years, died in the workhouse, Westminster, of de stitution. A man died from injury to his tongue caused by the breaking of a clay tobacco pipe in his mouth. A man aged 74 years died from erythema. A communication has been received from the medical officer of health for Marylebone, explaining the state of the drains at 18, Edgware-road, where a death occurred on the 27th March from diph theria. Last week the births of 964 boys and 930 girls, in all 1,894 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1852- 61 the average number (corrected) was 1,947. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29,964 in. The readings of the instrument fell to 29.79 in. on Thursday, and rose to 30.14 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 43.8 deg., which is 1 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was on Sunday the 6th, when the thermometer rose to 66.5 deg. The lowest night temperature occurred on Saturday, and was 30.4 deg., which is 1.6 deg. below the freezing point of water. The entire range in the week was 26.1 deg. The mean daily range was 9.3 deg. On Tuesday the range was 4.1 deg. On Saturday it was 15.6 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 3.1 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 90, complete saturation being represented by 100. On four days the humidity was 95 or more. The wind was in the west-south-west till Monday after noon, when it began to blow from the north-east, and continued in that point till the end of the week. There was much rain, which fell on every day except Saturday. The amount measured was 1.83 in., of which one inch and a tenth fell on Wed nesday. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 51.9 deg. ; the mean of the lowest was 49.7 deg. Saturday was fine and dry, but very cold. On that day the thermo meter on the grass fell to 27.2 deg. PROGRESS OF TIIE DRAMATIC COLLLGE.—The range of building for the Dramatic College, near 'Woking, is rapidly progressing towards completion. Two blocks of houses, five double homes in each, are nearly ready for habi tation, and, probably by Shakspeare's birthday, some will contain comforted occupants. Each home includes a sitting room, adaptedl', room, a bedroom, and a kitchen. Externally the building have have the Elizabethan character, with bay windotwwso, and an open arcade with ornamental columns. have yet to be converted into a whole by The the erection has been be tween them of a hall, for which a wido open space p l t e io ft n ,.and which is to form an important part ,8 ne s o w f the Illustratedi institu tion. sti tu - BENSON'S WATCHES AND Go C uI I , watches, IP o e l r fO ec g i u lo in n e a t , ) s t ; mechanism"— Morning Post. silver watches, 2 to 50 ga i n e s as descriptive l3e p s wp e a n atre o ti : every COnstruc Pamphlet, tree for two stamp s + of the - world to t s i e o l i e i c o t t w l v t a h t e l l i i i , , e f n —J.

The affected part should be fomented with warm water before friction with the Ointment, which thus more readily enters through the cutaneous pores, and acts more directly on the blood, lymphatics and glands both on and beneath the skin, and roots out the malady without irritating or annoying the tenderest skin. Holloway's Pills should be taken while this treatment is pursued ; they are remedies, which acting through the medium of the constitution, exercise a most beneficial influence over the local disease. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, April 15.—There has been much less business in both cloth and yarn to-day. %V have had a very firm market for yarns, but not so much business was done as had been anticipated', chiefly in consequence of spinners having advanced their prices with a view of covering the increased cost of cotton. It will have been seen by the reports of the Liverpool market for some days past that the prices of the raw material have been tending up wards ; but buyers of yarns are indisposed to follow the advance, and hence we have had a dull market. At last week's prices a very considerable business would have been done. Spinners are asking an advance of id. per lb. for some descriptions of yarn. For cloth prices remain much the same as last week ; but buyers have been much less disposed to pur chase. There is still a f ee li ng among manu f ac t ur ers that prices must go higher, in consequence of mills closing, or further restricting the hours of labour, and through the scarcity of cotton ; but buyers are extremely cautious, and the extent of stocks, not withstanding the late heavy purchases, tends to strengthen this feeling. These remarks apply to cloths for India, and to almost all classes of goods. The difficulty of obtaining any advance on cloths, notwithstanding the increased cost of production, is very discouraging. A manufacturer of coloured goods offering cloths to-day that had been in stock six or eight months, during which time the price of cotton and indigo have advanced 20 per cent., was unable to get the slightest increase on the rates current at that time. A shipper in the India trade has been mentioned for several days as being unable to meet his engagements, and a meeting of creditors has been called for Thursday, but it is expected that there will not be much loss from all that is known of the position of the estate at pre sent. The exhibition of cloths made from India cotton at Newall's buildings has drawn together a numerous and influential class of visitors to-day, who expressed themselves in many insta nces sur prised and gratifi e d with the samples produced. Some additional patterns to those we mentioned on Friday have been shown, having been printed by Messrs. Thomas Clarkson and Co., the Queen's fur niture printers in London, including floral designs from the same plates us have been used in some of the bedrooms of the Roya l p alaces. Mes srs.

A little is doing in the American trade, even for the Confe r derate States. he export 'trade to Australia is dull, nor is there much doing for China. As to prices, they keep steady, those of wool as well as those of cloth. ROCHDALE, MlL—There has been a quiet. inpr ket for b o th woo l s an d flannels to-day, purchases being made in small quantities, and chiefly for the home trade. The principal demand is for fincies, but it having been made known that the Admiralty wanted 50,000 blankets, 700,000 yards of flannel, and other woollen goods, the heavy trade has ex pericnced inure animation to-day. Holders of weel maintain late prices, but purchases are wade very sparingly. The stocks in hand are in a moderate compass, and arc not likely to be increased till the new clip come in. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BILLIARD MATOTTES —These matches, so highly interesting to the lovers of bil liards, took place on the 11th, 12th, and 14th inst,, at Savilo House, Leicester-square, when the Oxonians were victo rious in each, Messrs. Stokes (Queen's) and Wrigley (Oriel) beating Messrs.
