Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he infbrms 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 ; 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.

GLOUCEST.ER ELECTION. GLOUCESTER, TUESDAY. The nomination of candidates for this city, after the suspension of the writ for two years on account of bribery and general corruption, took place to-day amidst considerable hubbub. As already announced, there were three candidates in the field, and each of them mustered his friends so that the County Hall, where the nomination took place, was cram med to the doors. The proceedings commenced at 11 o'clock, but owing to the uproer and the conti nual interruptions offered to the speakcre, did not terminate until nearly three. After the usual formularies had been gone through by the sheriff, the question was put, and the popu lace shouted the names of their favourite candidates, which done, Mr. E. L. KENDALL, merchant, proposed Mr. J. S. Powell, barrister, as a fit and proper person to represent the city in Parliament. Dr. HEARN seoonded the nomination, recom mending Mr. Powell as a man sprung from the people, and especially as a native of Gloucester. Capt. GUISE nominated the Hon. Charles Page Fitzhardinge Berkeley as a candidate. DRAUGHTS round DOORS and WINDOWS EFFECTUALLY PREVENTED BY CHURCH'S INDIA-RUBBER MATERIAL AND ANTI-DRY-ROT CEMENT.

Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &o. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that dcgree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are last, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the grois exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands 311 the Medical Register (the only t ru e test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sivelyengaged for a series o f years i n th e t re atment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment. At home for consultation daily from 10 till 2, and from r,6 till 8, e ither peroonally or by letter.-37, Bedbad-square. Major Richard Harte Keatinge, Bombay Artillery (now of the Staff Corps)—For having rendered most efficient aid at the assault of Chundairee, in voluntarily leading the column through the breach, which was protected by a heavy cross fire. He was one of the foremost to enter, and was severely wounded in the breach. The column was saved from a serious toss that would probably have resulted, but for Major B.eatinge's knowledge of the small path leading across the ditch, which had been examined during the night by himself and a servant, who declined, when re quired, to lead the column, without his master. Hav ing cleared the breach, he led into the fort, where he was struck down by another dangerous wound. The Cora mander-inChief in India states that the success at Chun • dairee was mainly owing to this officer, whose gallantry, really brilliant, he considers was equalled by his ability and devotion. Major Keatinge was at the time a political officer with the 2d Brigade of the Central India Field Force. Capt. James Blair, 2d Bombay Light Cavalry—For hav ing on two occasions distinguished himself by his gallant and daring conduct. 1. On the night of the 12th of August, 1857, at Neemuch, in volunteering to apprehend seven or eight armed mutineers who had shut themselves up for defence in a house, the door of which he burst open. He then rushed in among them, and forced them to escape through the roof; in this encounter he was severely wounded. In spite of his wounds he pursued the fugi tives, but was unable to come up with them, in con sequence of the darkness of the night. 2. On the 23d of October, 1857, at Jeerum, in fighting his way most gallantly through a body of rebels who had literally surrounded him. After breaking the end of his sword on one of their heads, and receiving a severe sword cut on his right arm, he re joined his troop. In this wounded condition, and with no other weapon than the hilt of his broken sword, he put himself at the head of his men, charged the rebels most effectually, and dispersed them. Lieutenant Charles George Baker, Bengal Police Bat talion—For gallant conduct on the occasion of an attack on the rebels at Suhejnee, near Peroo, on the 27th Sept., 1858, which is thus described in this officer's own words :—" The enemy (at the time supposed to have mustered from 900 to 1,000 strong in infantry, with 50 cavalry) advanced. With out exchanging a shot, I at once retired slowly, followed up steadily by the rebel line for 100 yards clear of village or jungle, when, suddenly wheeling about my division into line, with a hearty cheer, we charged into and through the centre of the enemy's line, Lieutenant Broughton, with his detachment, immediately following up the movement, with excellent effect, from his position upon the enemy's left. The rebel right wing, of about 300 men, broke at once, but the centre and left, ob serving the great labour of the horses in crossing the heavy ground, stood, and receiving the charge with repeated volleys, were cut down, or broke only a few yards ahead of the cavalry. From this moment the pursuit was limited to the strongest and best horses of the force, num bering some sixty of all ranks, who, dashing into and swimming a deep and wide nullah, followed the flying enemy through thevillage of Russowlee and its sugar-cane khets, over two miles of swamp, and 500 yards into the thick jungles near Peroo, when, both men and horses being completely exhausted, I sounded the halt and assembly, and, collecting my wounded, returned to the camp at Munjhaen about 6 p.m." The charge ended in the utter defeat of the enemy, and is referred to by Lord Clyde, "as deserving of the higheet encomium, on account both of conception and execution." It is also described as having been as gallant as any during the war. Lieutenant William Francis Frederick Waller, 25th Bombay Light Infantry—For great gallantry at the capture by storm of the fortress of Gwalior, on the 20th June, 1858. He and Lieutenant Rose, who was killed, were the only Europeans present, and, with a mere handful of men, they attacked the fortress, climbed on the roof of a house, shot the gunners opposed to them, carried all before them, and took the fort, killing every man in it. Lieut. John Chas. Campbell Daunt, 11th (late 70th) Bengal Native Infantry—Lieut. Daunt and Sergeant Dynan are recommended for conspicuous gallantry in action, on the 22d Oct., 1857, with the mutineers of the Rarngurlt Batta lion at Chota Behar, in capturing two guns, particularly the last, when they rushed at and captured it by pistoling the gunners, who were mowing the detachment down with grape, one-third of which was hors-de-combat at the time. Sergeant Denis Dynon, 53d Regiment—Lieutenant Daunt is also recommended fo r chasi ng, on the 2d of 14 0. vember following, the mutineers of the 32d Bengal Native Infantry across a plain into a rich cultivation, into which he followed them with a few of Rattray's Sikhs. He was dangerously wounded in the attempt to drive out a large body of these mutineers from an en c l osure, the pre servation of many of his party, on this occasion, being attributed to his gallantry. C on d uc tor James Miller, Ordnance Depart men t , B enga l —For rhiaskv' iof goneg' on Bengal Native Infantry. H e to the assistance of, an d carried of action,'a wounded:officer , Lieutena nt Glubb, of the l a t e 38th Regiment the 28th of October, 1857, at great out per sonal was himself subsequently wounded and sent to Agra, C on d uc t or Miller was at the time employ e d w i t h heavy h ow itzers and Ordnance stores attached to a d e t ac h men t n of troops, commanded by the late Colonel Cotton, C.B , in the attack on the abov e-mentioned date on the rebel s 'who had taken up the ir p osition in th e Serai at Futtehpore Siltra, near Agra.

The show of hands was declared in favour of Messrs. Powell and Potter, and a poll being de manded for Mr. Berkeley, was fixed for this day (Wednesday). MR. DIGBY SBi 111 OUR, _211.P., AND TILE MIDDLE TEMPLE. Mr. Digby Seymour, on receiving the judgment of the Benchers of the Middle Temple, addressed to them a long protest. Without the evidence, however, the chief part of this protest is unintelli gible. The remark does not apply to the following extract : " You have held 15 meetings, and in no single instance has your Parliament been composed a second time of the same members as any previous Parliament. In point of fact, therefore, I have been tried before 15 different tribunals. Your num bers have been equally irregular, varying' from a maximum of 18 to a minimum of 7. One of your number first attended at the fifth meeting, one first at the sixth, two at the ninth, two at the 10th, and one at the 13th. The following is an analysis of the attendance of all the bench :—Two attended 15 meetings, two attended 14, one attended 12, two attended 11, one attended 10, two attended 9, two attended 8, two attended 7, three attended 6, two attended 5, one attended 4, two attended 3, two at tended 2, and two attended 1. Here is certainly a remarkable disregard both of the spirit and letter of the wise rule of the society which requires the at tendance of the same members on every adjourned hearing of an inquiry into an accusation against a barrister. I have no right to penetrate the secrets of your chamber, butl confess I should like to know how many of those who heard the evidence of Mr. Parker and his witnesses took part, and if so, what part, in framing or supporting the observations made with reference to that case. I appeal to those members of the bench who were present at the third meeting whether the mode in which the evi dence of Mr. Parker especially was given did not strongly impress their minds with the impossibility of seriously regarding it. 'Abe perusal, more or less careful, of printed evidence (even if it were of the most accurate character), can never supply the place of opinions derived from the hearing of witnesses themselves ; and I cannot help feeling that I have been hardly dealt with if members of the bench who have only formed their conclusion upon the printed reports, intermixed and confused as the various cases are, have joined in reflections which I firmly believe would not have been made, or would have been greatly modified, had they attended the in quiry with greater regularity. It may of course be said that my attention was called to this rule, and that I ought on subsequent occasions to have made objections on the ground of its non-observ ance; but my attention was not called to this rule till so late as the ninth meeting, though it ought to have been mentioned on the second, and it is ob vious that it would, at that time, have placed me in a most invidious attitude to have appealed to tbis rule with reference to any bencher I might have objected to. I could not, moreover, for a moment have anticipated that members of the bench who had not heard the evidence as to any particular case would have suggested observations, or even joined in a judgment, with reference to that case, of the fairness of which they were not, from this very circumstance, in a proper position to de cide. On this ground, as well as those I have before specified, I beg to enter my solemn protest against that part of your judgment which contains the observations of which I complain, and which, I re joice to know, have not received the unanimous approval of the bench ; and I request that this letter may be recorded along with the judgment.--tI have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " WM. DIGBY SEYMOUR. " P.S.—The foregoing letter was IA ritten before I went down to address my constituents at South ampton on Tuesday evening last. The meeting was fixed for 8 o'clock. I arrived at the terminus at 20 minutes to 8. I was then, for the first time, informed that the walls of the town were posted, and the people, as they went to the meeting, were being liberally supplied with a handbill of which I beg to enclose a copy. I ask the bench whether the pecu liar wording of these four questions, and that so as to convey the post unfavourable construction, does The Coroner (Mr. Overton), in addressing thejury, stated that after viewing the bodies he intended adjourning further proceedings in the inquiry to Tuesday, March 4. Some parties`might be disposed to think an adjournment over s o long a period un necessary ; but, looking to the importance of the inquiry, he Was of opinion that the ends of the in quest would be best promoted by the course he suggested, as it would enable the proper parties to clear away the workings in which the calamity had occurred, and to put it into a proper state for the Government Inspector to examine it more minutely than he had hitherto had an opportunity of doing. The excitement in the public mind naturally con sequent on so terrible a catastrophe as this would by that time be, at least to some extent, allayed, and that would have advantages of a very obvious character in an investigation of this kind. The friends of the unfortunate men also would be better able by this delay to take measures for watching the proceedings than if they were to be called upon under the prostration caused by t his terrible blow to do so. All, therefore, he p ro p osed to them to d o now was to view the bodie s, and the y w o uld then adjourn to the time he had named. The jury, after being for some hours occupied in this duty, owing to the number and distance from each other of the residences of the deceased work men, adjourned. A similar inquiry was initiated under the same coroner at the village of Penrhi w, about three miles from Merthyr, where some of the sufferers resided., In this case the coroner adjourned the inquest till the inquiry at Merthyr shall have terminated. As to the cause of this melancholy accident, not an event has turned up to clear away the mystery that hung over it on the very day of its occurrence, and little hope is entertained that this uncertainty will be overcome, at least untilthe inquest. In the meantime, the Government Inspector, Mr. Evans, is engaged in a scrutinising investigation of the state of the works in which the explosion occurred, and much towards explaining the cause of the acci dent is expected from his labours as soon as the re moval of the ruins will enable him to prosecute his inquiries. Of mere opinions we may mention, as specimens of the many that are offered as to the cause, a " blower of coal," or an evolution of gas gas, which, on bein g arising from greater sup erin cumbent pressure of the rock, which somet imes takes place in the progress o f working onward ; a fall in the air-ways, and the consequent g ive rise to an explosion ; insufficient air supply in proportion to the extension of the workings ; or the "gobbet'," or accum ulation of small co a l, on the brought i n t oaccumulation communication with a light, wo u ld f floor of the level. Till the evidence that will be given at the inquest gives some c orrob oration of some one of these views they must all be treated as mere conjectures. It is right, however, to add that by practical colliers the accident is regarded as being, to use the words of one of them, "very u naccountable," the pit being looked upon as a " safe " one, the only explosion that occurred in it being about 10 years since, and that unattended with loss of life, while the workings are communi cated with by no less that three pits—a pumping and two winding pits, besides an air flue. It is even said that complaints have been made by the workmen that an excess of air has rendered the workings too cold for them to pursue their daily labours with comfort. Of the 47 men who have perished on this occa sion, 21 have died from burns, and 26 from suffo. cation by choke-damp. They leave 21 widows and 57 children, of whom six only are able to work. Three widows are near their confinement, while six widowed mothers are deprived of the support of sons on whom they depended. There are inci dents in this picture which give a deeper colouring to the dark catalogue of deaths which we recor d , such as that of a case in which the sufferers are a father an d son, and in another in which the wi dowed mother sees the two sons by whom she was supported brought home dead together. The descent to the works to recover the bodies, we are informed, revealed objects more terrible, at l east in narrative, in the placid sleep induced by the choke-damp than those of acute but necessaril y brief suffering from the explosion. In most cases those who died from suffocation appeared to have passed away unconsciously. One unfortunate man was found in a stiffened state, overcome by death in the act of conveying a piece of bread to his mouth ; another with his hand on the small box containing victuals which the collier carries sus pended on his side, as though he were about to add to the portion of cheese found in his mouth a piece of bread. The bodies of some of those who were burnt were found blackened and otherwise dis figured, while the carrying away of doors, the destruction of waggons, and the breaking up of portions of the road and roofs of the level attested the destructive force which marked the progress of the explosion. The burial of the victims by this terrible c.atasi: trophe took place by arrangement almost simul taneously uso taneously on Saturday afternoon. No spectacle The mournful was witnessed by the oldest partlam 0 c orations at of Merthyr as this.

Twelve coffins, each accompanied by several hundreds of mourners, amounting in the aggregate to some thousands, formed one vast mournful procession to the Cefn Cemetery • wlile several groups, two or th ree i n succession, defiled to other burial places in the town or neighbourhood. Among the Welsh the practice of sing in g in the funeral procession is common, and tbe effect this occasion of Several hundred voices • singing the mournful strains of the funeral hymn as they approached from the distance was solemn and striking. THE VICTORIA CROSS. (From the Gazette of last evening.) WAR•OFFICF, FEB. 25. The Queen has been graciouly pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officers and non - commissioned officer, whose claims to the same have been submitted to her Majesty's approval, on account of acts of bravery performed by them in India, as recorded against their several names, viz.:— Mr. Lucy, merchant, seconded the nomination Mr. BOUGHTON, Mayor of Gloucester, put in no mination Mr. Richard Potter, of Standish House. Mr. N. T. SMITH seconded it, and while alluding to Mr. Potter's declaration that he would support Lord Palmerston,said Lord Palmerston was as good a Conservative as any in Gloucester. (A voice— " What do you want to turn him out for then?") The three candidates then addressed the electors amidst great uproar. Mr. POWELL regretted they could not have their old members, Messrs. Price and Monk, to represent them again ; but if they could not have what they would, they must be content with the best they could get, and he was afraid that, as far he was concerned, they might say that bad was the best. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The great principle of liberalism was just now in a critical state. It was true the political sea was just now as untroubled as as an island lake, but there could be doubt that the enemies of liberal principles had been long marshal ling their forces, and they saw day by day that in election after election they had been recruiting their strength ; they were only waiting for an opportu nity to make an effort to transfer the Government of the country from the hands of Lord Palmerston to those of Lord Derby. Therefore, liberals must be up and doing. He did not appeal to them on behalf of liberalism ad misericordiam, but he called on them to support liberal principles on account of their in trinsic worth, and to give them not a hesitating but a hearty support, as he should do were he returned to Parliament. (Cheers.) He considered Lord Pal- merston and his coadjutor, Earl Russell, the fittest persons to be at the head of the Government at this time. He would support any well considered plan of reform that they might think proper to introduce in some future session of Parliament, and would support the abolition of church rates. Mr. BERKELEY spoke very briefly, owing to the interruptions. Mr. POTTER was also much interrupted, and only a sentence here and there of his speech could be heard. In reference to a charge made against him, that he had been guilty of bribery at the Gloucester election of 1857, he denied it. He reminded them that Mr. Powell had expressed himself on that very platform in terms of admiration of Mr. Bright, and as to his political antagonists, said, " How happy could I be with either, Were t'other dear charmer away." He concluded by calling upon them topoll plumpers for Potter. (Loud cheers and uproar.) The Simoom, screw troopship, arrived at Spit head yesterday morning from China with the 2d battalion 60th Rifles on board, Lieut.-Col. Muter in command, with the following officers and men on board :—Capts. Farquharson, Archer, Gore, and Black ; Lieuts.

The Simoom steamed into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead at high water, and will disembark her freight at the dockyard to-morrow, the 60th marching at 2 p.m. into quarters in the Cambridge barracks, which will be vacated this morning by the 2d (Queen's) Regiment, which leaves Portsmouth at en early hour by the South-Western Railway for Aldershott Camp. The Simoom left the anchorage off the Pciho on the 6th of October, 1861, with the present troops on board. She experienced very heavy wea ther in the Formosa Channel, on the evening of the 16th of October. About 100 miles from Hongkong she picked up two boats with the crew of the W. 11. Chandler, bark, which vessel had foundered at 3 p.m. on that day. She sailed from Hongkong on the 2d of November, 1861, arrived at Singapore on the 12th, and left on the 16th of November for Mauritius, where she arrived on December 13, sailed again on the 16th, arriving in Simon's Bay January 2,1862, at which time the Narcissus, Brisk, Cossack, Orestes, and Penguin were there. The Simoom left Simon's Bay on the 9th of January, and arrived at St. Helena on the 19th, sailing again the next day, calling in at Ascension and St. Vincent's, at the latter -place on. - February. 6, where-her • Majesty's 4,144,:a„ . .:* --- 1 ship Stromboli and gunboat Spidei were at anchor: The Simoom sailed from St. Vincent's for Spithead on the Bth.

John Soccombe, _ in Plymouth Sound, she left in the afternoon for Gibraltar and Malta, after which she will proceed to Alexandria to embark the Japanese Ambassadors for conveyance to England. A pensioner named Brooks, formerly a colour sergeant in the Royal Marines, having been con victed by the magistrates for illegally having in his possession articles of marine clothing, the Lords of the Admiralty have directed that his name be struck off the roll of pensioners, the ex-sergeant thus for feiting £36 per annum. lIE/ILT.H OF LONDON _DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) Ttie,deaths in London, which had fallen since the end of January, again exhibited an increase in the week that ended last Saturday, when they were 1,415. The mean temperature of the air was 45.4 deg. last week, but in the week that preceded it the mean had fallen as low as 36 2 deg. The average number of deaths for the correspond ing weeks in 10 years, 185261, corrected for in crease of population, is 1,426.

The mean temperature of the air in the week was 45.4 deg., which is 7 deg. above the average of the crane week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). Tho mean daily temperature was above the average on every day after Sunday,. and on the last five days this excess was from 9 deg. to 11 deg. The lowest night temperature occurred on Sunday, and was 32.3 deg. The highest day tem perature was 56.3 deg. on Thursday. The range of the thermometer in the week was therefore 24 deg. The mean daily range was 13.8 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was only 3.8 deg.
