ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRACEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. 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 be 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 purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble 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 chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; ut the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places t within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Their lordships assembled at four o'clock. Mr. BALL called attention to " the continuous oppres sive duty on malt." He complained that an expectation had always been held out that this interest should have consideration, which it had never had, while the effect of the duty had been to limit consumption. The country had advanced in population and weath, and the consumption of other commodities had greatly increased, whereas that of malt had in 30 years increased only 5 per cent. The cause of this stagnation of consumption was the tax, which, he suggested, should be transferred from malt to boor. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that when Mt Ball said that no considerable increase had taken place in he consumption of malt he should recollect that this country had been consuming less strong liquors than formerly, and his complaint that barley-growers wero ground down by taxation was answered by the fact that the progress of the prices of barley had been much more marked than tlat of other grain. The alcohol in malt was less heavily tared than that in spirits, and malt had cer tain advantages. He suggested objections against the pro posal to transfer the tax from malt to beer. The house then went into committee of supply, the CHAIRMAN immediately reporting progress; and thereupon returned into committee upon the THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL. The winner was bought in for 160 guineas. The Grange Park Stskes of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 sous added; for 2-yr-olds; colts, Bst 101 b; fillieF, Bst 61b; winners extra. T.Y.C. 40 subs. EAST GLOUCESTER RAILWAY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said an order had been made for the attendance of William Isaacs, clerk to Mr. Boodle, of Cheltenham, John Preston, town crier, Robert Lingwood, solicitor, and Charles Maisey, his clerk, to attend at the bar, with reference to their con duct with regard to the signature to the petition of Barbara Robinson and others of Cheltenham, presented to the house on the 22d of May last, praying to be heard by counsel against the bill. It has since been found that, as privileges of the house were concerned, it would be best that the subject should be considered by a select commit tee ; and he moved the appointment of such a committee, before which the parties should be examined. Lord BROUGHAM seconded the motion. He thought Mr. Boodle should also be required to attend. Lord Westmoreland's Oak Apple, Bst 101 b (J. Goater) 1 Capt. AlexAnder's Edgeworth Bess, Bst 61d..

Before reaching the enclosure, Edgworth Bess displaced Lady Stafford, and the favourite next the rails joined issue; fine race home, the favourite winning in the last dozen strides by a neck ; four lengths between second and third, and the Plunkett colt was a bad fourth. The motion was agreed to. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR resumed his seat at five o'clock. JURISDICTION IN HOMICIDES BILL. , The house went into committee on this bill, and after certain amendments by Earl De Grey had been agreed to, the bill was reported accordingly. COMMUNICATION WITH BRITISH COLUMBIA. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE moved for copies of the correspondence which had taken place between the Secre tary of State for the Colonies, the Governments of Canada and British Columbia, and the Hudson's Bay Com pany, respecting the establishment of a means of communi - cation between Canada and British Columbia. The noble lord entered at some length into the desirability of establishing a safe and efficient communication to that distinct part of the world. He did not ask the noble duke to go to Parliament for a large grant of money for such a purpose, all he asked was that the recommendation of a committee of the House of Commons which had fully con sidered the subject should be carried into execution. The Earl of SELKIRK defended the Hudson's Bay Company against the observations of the noble earl. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that no imputation had been cast on the Hudson's Bay Company, but the discovery of gold had considerably altered the circumstances of the company, by inducing a considerable immigration into British Columbia. He believed that a time would come when communication across the continent would become ab solutely necessary ; and in proof of this he observed that during the recent apprehension of hostilities with the United States he was unable to send despatches to the Governor of British Columbia for six weeks for fear his despatches, if sent via Panama, might fall into unfriendly hands. As to the amount required by the Company for the surrender of all their rights, he believed that they were not inclined to take less than £1,500,000, a sum which he believed the Par liament of this country would never grant. The question was one of great importance, and a settlement of it abso lutely necessary; but he had never been able to come to any satisfactory understanding with the Hudson's Bay Com pany. The correspondence moved for should be laid on the table, and he hoped by next session to be able to in form the house that communication had been established between Canada on the one side and New Westminster on the other. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas, for 3-yr-olds and up- wards. Two miles. Mr. A. Nichol's Wizard, 5 yrs, 9st 121 b.. (G. Fordham) 1 Lord Portsmouth's Vinegar Hill, 4 yrs, 9st 71b (J. Goater) 2 Mr. Treen's Montebello, 3 yrs, Bst 31b.... (Clement) dis. Betting-- 5 to 2 on the Wizard. --- Upon the 6th clause, the discussion of the previous night, embracing the whole scheme of the embankment, with all its inciderts, was renewed, and continued for a considerable time. Vinegar Hill made the running at a slow pace to the bottom turn on the far side of the course, where Montebello, waited upon by the Wizard, went to the front. At the bottom turn Montebello ran on the wrong side of the post, and was consequently disqualified; Clement, however, came home with his horse, and after a magnificent strug gle all the way from the distance, Montebello and the Wizard, who was called upon a few strides from home, finished a dead heat; Vinegar Hill was beaten a long way. The clause wasultimately agreed to. Upon the nestelause, Mr. LOCKE coved to omit the words, "subject to the limitations heronafter contained," which involved the question of the ith clause, providing that a footway only should be made between Whitehall -stairs and Westminster bridge—a clans which Mr. Locke proposed to omit. Sir W.. JOILIFFE opposed this amendment, which was supported by mr J. rarroN. Lord PALMERSTON said he had given notice of an amendment of tie 9th clause by inserting the words "until Parliament shal have otherwise provided," although his first impression was to move the omission of the 9th clause; but, considering the struggle made before the committee by private interess in favour of it, and the lateness of the session, to avfid the loss of the bill, he had proposed an amendment o . the 9th clause that would give Parliament an opportunity hereafter of removing the restriction. lie must, therefoe, vote against Mr. Locke's amendment. Upon a divsion, however, that amendment was carried by 149 to 109, Clause 9 vils thereupon negatived, Lord Palmerston having withdawn the amendment of which he had given notice. TROUSSEAU AND WEDDING PRESENTS OF THE PRINCESS ALICE. Her Royal Highness Princess Alice's wedding lace con sisted of a deep flounce of Honiton guipure lace, composed of rose, myrtle, and orange blossoms, with a veil to corres pond, and was furnished by Mrs. Clarke, of Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, The design was chosen, by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort.

The following articles of jewels and plate were presented m the occasion : By her Majesty the Queen—A very beautiful tiara of diamonds, composed of a rich bandeau, with foliage spires, &c., from Messrs. Garrard ; and a pearl and diamond brooch, with pearl pendant, from Messrs. Hancocks ; the former designed, and the latter chosen, by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. Lord TAUNTON made a few remarks, suggesting that the Hudson's Bay Company would do wisely in not insist ing too strongly on their rights, but in trying to meet the wishes of the public. The subject then dropped. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. Jointly by her Majesty the Queen and his Royal High ness the Prince Consort—A set of three ornaments for the table, in silver, consisting of a candelabrum, composed of a group of boys supporting branches for nine lights, and two side candelabra for four lights each, the branches being so arranged as to be substituted by baskets for flowers or fruit, HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY.

In addition Princess Alice received various other presents, ornamental and useful, likewise some beautiful china ser vices from the members of the Royal Household and others. Mr. WESTHEAD moved that the bill be read a second time this day three months. This bill was of a most ex ceptional character, and such was the nature of it that after it had passed a select committee of the Upper House their lordships referred it back to the whole house, in order that it might be discussed again clause by clause. The Lord Chancellor described the bill as an opprobrium on the legislation of the country, and be (Mr. Westhead) considered that although the measure purported to originate with the Mersey and Irwell River Navigation society, it in reality emanated from Lord Ellesmere, who was a large proprietor in the neighbourhood, and whose interests would be materially benefitted by the measure if it were passed. He denied that the bill would effect the object which it pre tended to promote, and, regarded in a sanitary point of view, it would impurity the river which it was said it would purify, and he made that statement on the opinion of competent chemical authorities. Mr. MASSEY said that the bill no doubt was one of a very extraordinary character, and it was difficult to dis cover whether it was in reality a public measure in the guise of a private, or whether the matter to which it re ferred was a subject for private legislation. If they as sented to the former their course would be to discharge the order for the second reading of the bill. He considered that, technically, the bill came to the house as a private bill ; and he thought the proper course would be to refer it to a select committee up stairs, who would be competent to deal with the whole subject. Mr. J. EWA RT considered legislation on this subject necessary, and supported the second reading of the bill. Mr. LAIRD opposed the bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the bill should be referred to a select committee, and, on legal grounds, ebjected to the measure. Viscount NEWPORT said that if the motion for the second reading went to a division he should feel bound to vote against it. Mr. JACKSON considered that private interests ought not to be permitted to interfere in a matter of such import ance as the present, for the commerce of the country must necessarily be affected by the state of the river Mersey. He would support the second reading of the bill; but if it were referred to a select committee he would not object to some alterations being introduced. After some further discussion the house divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading 97 Against Majority The bill was accordingly read a second time MERCHANDISE MARKS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The bill passed through committee, and at 4 o'clock the sitting was suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed TURKISH LOAN. _ _ Mr. GRIFFITH asked what progress had been made by Lord Hobart and the Turkisk Loan Commission in extin guishing the paper money at Constantinople, by the appli cation of the capital of the loan to the purpose of paying it off ; and moved for copy of any correspondence that had taken place on the subject of the events occurring in Ser via, upon which he made comments. Mr. LAY ARD said it must be obvious that the Govern ment could not state from day to day the progress made in such a matter as the extinguishing of paper money in Turkey; and, as regarded the events in Servia, it was impossible to produce the correspondence while the trans actions were going on. The amendment was negatived. NAVAL COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. ANOTHER DREADFUL COLLIERY ACCI DENT IN SOUTH WALES. Sir J. HAY asked if it was the intention of the Admi ralty to make any increase in the pay and allowances to the Naval Commander-in-Chief in India, in consequence of the stoppage of the allowances hitherto paid as batta to the Naval Commander-in-Chief by the India Government; and if any inconvenience had arisen in the selection of an officer for that command, in consequence of the reduction of pay. After some remarks by Sir M. SEYMOUR, Lord C. PAGET gave an explanatory reply to the first question ; and, as to the last, he observed that the command was not a very desirable one, and one or two officers had declined it on the score of health. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. SIX MEN KILLED. Llanelly and its neighbourhood have been thrown into a state of grief and mourning in consequence of an accident at the Old Castle Colliery, by which six unfortunate men were hurried into eternity, and nearly 50 more had a very narrow escape of their lives. The Old Castle pit, which is worked by Messrs. Williams, Nevill, and Co., employs about 300 men and boys, but, fortunately, at the time when the fatal accident occurred there were only about 50 of them actually engaged in the mine. Of re these, six, the poor fellows who lost their lives, Of these, working in the bottom vein, and whilst engag a cutting coal, they unfortunately struekt working, in which water had accum ulated, ja r ".". great mediately the aqueous element portablepoured within violence, carrying away everything y miners be its reach, and immersing, the unhappy in..,tonani :old_ ~ me n who were employed, yond hope of escape. a higher part of the to the number of over 4 U , workings, heard the r ush k, t i f the water and the a nd haapnpeiwly w w o e r r k e enabled giving way of vioodwor • very atnod t besides h e pro the to make their ing, thus illustrating connection with mines a second shaft. l ying ever since, of having inac3ceaePne thro ugh hichmust accrue will have to remain for a long hn h w ea a v t Y e h rni e h° 3 ll o e o Y in l e o n ss ; prietors t time out a work.

Mr. LAYARD said, as far as the Foreign-office was concerned, there was a disposition to carry out the recom mendations of the Committee. But it was entirely a matter of expense ; the Foreign-office did not hold the purse, and, in the present state of things, it was not thought advisable to ask the house to vote money for carrying out the whole of the recommendations. He stated those which the Go vernment were prepared to carry out ; and if, he said, it should be the wish of the house to increase the salaries in the diplomatic service, he should be very glad, but this was a question for the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Rouse of Commons. A- conversation ensued, in which Mr. W. Williams, Mr. took. S. Fitzeerald Sir M. Farquhar, a n d M r. 3. Whit - e part, and the subject then dropped. CAB AND OMNIBUS FARES. Mr * 33 /VW SON called the attention of the Secretary o f State for th e fares Home Department to the system of extor tionatedemanded by the drivers and conductors o f public conveyances in the metropolis, and to the absence of any proper limitation of fares, in the present regulation of omnibus traffic, which, he thought, should be subject to r evision by proper authorities. six G.GREY 60 : 1 4 some of the euggeotione Made by --, _ ----- , -- - - - C_ ..__ e--C _ e%.- 1.

Special tickets of admission to view the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich having been accorded to the members of the Mechanical Engineers' Institution by the War Department, a large number, amount - . ing to 180 scientific gentlemen, subscribers to the institution, foreigners as well as English, yesterday took advantage of the privilege, a large proportion arriving at Woolwich early in the morning. Their principal object appeared to be to inspect the royal gun factories. Having visited the shell foundry and some other branches of the establishment, they proceeded to the museum and designing room be longing to the royal gun factories, where the entire party partook of refreshments at 1 o'clock, at the invitation of Mr. Anderson, the resident superin dent. Three hearty cheers and one more having been given for their considerate entertainer, they proceeded to the proof butt, and witnessed the proving of 10 110-pounder Armstrong guns, five 40-pounders, and one 12-pounder—the latter on a new principle, and ordered to be proved to destruc tion, according to the technical phrase—viz., to be fired until it should burst. This gun, mounted on a gun carriage, and:loaded with 31b. of powder, and a cylinder weighing 1201 b., extending about 10 inches beyond the muzzle, was fired in one of the cells built for that express purpose. The gun was fired by electricity and some of the fusees failed to ignite. To break the recoil the platform rises to an acute elevation, at the summit of which, however, the gun was discovered, twisted off the traversing frame, and lodged in the sand of the butt. The cell was hurriedly crowded by as many visitors as could gain admittance, who expected to find the fragments of the gun strewed about the spot. They could with difficulty persuade themselves that the gun was still whole. Every scratch was minutely inspected, and magnifying glasses were brought into requisition, each part was carefully and scientifically examined, and the gun pronounced intact. They then returned to the gun factories, and examined the forge and steam hammers, ranging from 15 to 35 cwt. each, the whole of which were in active use. Having witnessed the entire manufacture of the gun, they left Woolwich by the 4 15 train, to dine at the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. THE GRAND NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST. Nothing more favourable than the weather yes terday, could bo desired. The visitors were more numerous than on the first three days of the contest; gay and many coloured streamers for the first time floated from the summits of a hundred flag staffs, the red, white and blue—emblem of military and naval glory—showing itself in all directions, while the band of the London Scottish marched on to the ground at midday, filling the plains of Wimbledon with the echoes of that martial music which had before been wanting, and without the accompani ment of which no mimicry of war or military pa geant can be-considered perfect. To-day the com missionaires' band will attend, and probably there will be a second band on the ground. And indepen dently of this, the competition to-day will be of a more exciting character than anything which has preceded it. The firing was resumed yesterday at half-past nine for the Queen's Prize, at 600 yards, the Association Cup, the All Comers, and the extra prizes, and was carried on with unabated vigour throughout the day. Some good scores were made, and among these was that of Major Moir, 12th Stirling, who in the contest for the Association Cup beat the score made by Captain Heaton, of the 3d Manchester, of whom we yesterday made such honourable mention. At the ranges of 200, 50? 600 yards, Captain Heaton made up a total scoirbelef, 54 points and hits, no more than 60 being and odds were freely offered that this yesterday not be exceeded. Major Moir, however , _ta scorPelvsould Capin Heaton attained a score of 55, thus beating.o by one point. Whether he win wa s made up of himself be beaten remains to be seen. three bull's eyes and Si scoreentres at 200 yards; 600 yards ; and three four bull's eyes and a ceetnnwtrtareeasct at 600 yards ; thus two 15 hits. Captain Heaton's bull's eyes and making 40 points a u p 10; three bull's eyes and two score was made ards; two bull's 200 9 eyes, two centres t 500 one outer a.,_ yards and five bull's 39 points centres, and 0 600 yards; thus makin g eyes t at hits' Both of these gentl emen use d a and hienrf r ifle. So far this is the best shooting of ° t h e contest, and doubtless Major Moir congratu lated himself upon his chance of carrying off the cup value ; but a little later in the day he in turn was put out of the field by a Mr. Smith, about whose particular corps there is some doubt, who made up a score of 56. The grievance of the rejected rifles was again discussed upon the ground yesterday, and, if pos sible, with additional acrimony upon the part of those who are disqualified by the decision of the council, and who consider themselves in the light of 63 many injured individuals. Merely premising, for the information of readers who may have over looked our remarks yesterday, that some 40 compe titors for Queen's and other prizes were on Thurs day pronounced to be disqualified for further com petition, upon the ground that their rifles were too small in bore to take the plug applied to Govern. ment Enfields, we may say that General Hay, In spector-General at Elythe, was early on the ground, and as the umpire with whom the final decision re mained, decided peremptorily that rifles which did not receive the plug—whether issued by the Goy vernment or by private maker thus upholdi n g , and even s—should be re j ected; exceeding the decision of the council. Naturally fate; this decision failed t o re concile the disqualified eompetitors to thew an d one ventured to altic General Ha y whether it SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWT(N SUMMER MEETING.--FRIDAV.

The Cruiser filly, Pwever, running wide on the near side of her horses, becine unmanageable, and was out of the race when the let:tame in sight at the top of the hill, the Miss Woolgar fill3leading, when Spicebox, next the rails, waited upon by "moon, Misfire, and Spencer, got clear of the rest, and Captan Christie's horse went to the front, and maintained the lezl until reaching the stand enclosure, where Misfire rusted to the front, and after a good race home the judge's fia was in favour of Misfire by a neck ; a length separated to second and third; Spencer finished a good fourth, Strilafifth, Don't Come Late, Peahen, and Rosabella next.

When the flag fell none of the competitors appeared anxious to go to the f r ont. Caledon ultimately went to the fore, Montebello go i n g on second, Viletto third, and East End last. Ascending the hill, the latter was lead ing, but the favourite, on the summit being gained, went to tho front, Caledon on t he near side, and Vilette nearest the rails, being h i s com panion to the finish. Caledon made a semblance of a race, but Montebello, pulling double, won by a head ; half-a-dozen lengths between second and third. Drew's stirrup leather broke when he had proceeded half- a .mile.

You can't do more than you can do--ane if you try to do more, you'll do nothing." After which nothing remained for the volunteer but to quietly subside into himself— which he did. Captain Ross, a member of the council, and father of Mr. Edward Ross, one of the rejected competi tors, proposed that the rejected rifles should be sent for examination to the Government factory at Enfield, and that meanwhile their owners should he allowed to take part in the later stages of the com petition for the Queen's prize, under protest, The second part of this proposal was decisively rejected by the council, but Colonel Dickerson, inspector at Enfield, agreed to receive the rifles for exatnina tion at Enfield to-day or Mond a y . Should this result in favour of any conside rable number,, only one, of these rifles, as is stated to be m ore than likely,the council will find themselves in an un pleasant position since the first stage of competition. for the Queen's Peiee is now concluded ; while, if the report should be unfavourable, loud are the threats of action at law against the London Armoury Com pany, by whom the m rifles have been sold under warranty. of rrantyt impeached .he The deer target yesterday ran all day, to the in tense amusement of the spectators, who congregated a bout him in large numbers, and the intense dis gust of the disappointed m a r ksmen , who paid their 2s. per shot with no other result than to miss the bull's eye, or, worse still, to hit that forbidden spot, the haunch, and so to be fined a shilling. For those who wish to perfect themselves as marksmen this running deer is the best target on the ground, presenting a moveable bull's eye of eight inches diameter at 120 yards' range, travelling at a mode rate speed, and at the same time strikingly life-like. Nevertheless, the number of bull's eyes made is surprisingly small. Daring the hour of its run ning on Thursday evening 49 shots were fired, many of which were by accomplished sportsmen, and yet the bull's eye was not once hit. Then, again, yesterday the firing was continued from half-past nine to half-past 11 with the same result ; but then, as if by a miracle, two bull's eyes were made successively, and, after one intervening shot, a third, among the cheers of excited onlookers. After a lapse of 20 minutes a fourth was made, and then the running deer was left, another long inter val of immunity from damage by rifle shot for hours. The four fortunate marksmen—for other competitors said these were mere flukes—were LIS follows :—A. Munro, let Lanark ; Sergeant Sloper, 4th Dorset ;J. Freu, 4th Lanark—all of whom used long Enfields ; and Captain Thresher, sth Dorset, who used a Turner rifle—the honour being equally divided between the counties of Lanark and Dorset, neither of which is particularly renowned for deer stalking. Later in the day the bull's-eye was hit by others, among whom was Ca p tain Ross. Pool at the ordinary targets was v er y active yesterday, and the shooting good. The number of those who paid their shilling for pool on Thursday was 2,819 ; those who paid for sighting (sixpence) were 3,070; the number of admissions by payment on that day being 289, the lowest number of the three days. For yesterday the return has not yet been furnished. As an item of some general interest we may state that the quantity of ammunition issued from the Go vernment tent, in charge of Sergeant A. Mullis, R,H.A., and Police-Sergeant Picton, A division, was as follows :—Tuesday , 15,360 rounds ; Wed nesday, 18,240 rounds; Thursday, 13,440 rounds. THE QUEEN'S PRIZE. FIRST STAGE. The shooting at 600 yards, the concluding range on the first stage of the Queen's prize, was naturally the most interesting event of the day. The fluctu tions of the contest were c l osel y watched ; when a it was known—at the termination of the firing—that a Yorkshireman had attained the highest score, and so become entitled to the silver medal of the asso ciation, a, loud cheer was raised by his brother Yorkshire Volunteers—who mustered pretty strong ly on the ground—which we are compelled to add, was not very heartily responded to by volunteers belonging to other counties.
