By Dr. LA'IITERT, 87, Bedford-square, London. 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 de9,ree 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 lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross 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 on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variow 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 :0 till 8, either personally or by letter.-37, Bedford-square.

At the Sheffield Town-hall on Thursday the ma gistrates were occupied several hours in investigating the circumstances under which a very daring rob bery was committed at Wadsley Parsonage, 3 miles from Sheffield. On Sunday evening, the 2d inst.(as already reported in The Sun), the residence of the Rev. Mr. Morton,. incumbent of Wadsley, was broken open w hil e the family were at church, and jewelry and money to the value of £lBO were stolen. The police apprehended four men on suspicion of committing the robbery, and on Thursday, after they had been several times remanded, the case was finally concluded. The prisoners were W. Glossop and W. Fearnley, cf Sheffield, and W. Hall and Joel Baxter, of Wadsley. The evidence against them was entirely circumstantial, but it was suffi cient to attach strong suspicion to them. When Baxter was apprehended he was not informed of the charge against him, but he told the inspector who arrested him that he supposed he would get off with four years, and that the police could not hang him for it. The prisoner Hall was apprehended at the Hillabro' Inn, near the scene of the robbery, and he declared that he was never out of his house on the Sunday evening. The sexton of Mr. Morton's church, however, and another witness, proved that they saw Hall and Baxter loitering about the church, which is close to the parsonage, about 1 o'clock on Sunday. Another witness, who resides atWadaley, saw the two prisoners near the parsonage just as the evening service was commencing, and at 8 o'clock he met them coming along the road from Wadsley to Sheffield. Hall had at the time a parcel appa rently concealed under his coat. The other prisoners were not seen near the parsonage, but the foot marks which were traced by the police showed that the robbers had divided on leaving the house, and had gone different ways. A very curious circum stance was given as tending to criminate Glossop. About 7 o'clock on the morning after the robbery he was seen in a garden at Neepsend, near Wads ley, crouching down and searching in the hedge bottom. A man who was working in the adjoin ing garden asked him what he was doing, and the prisoner rose and displayed a handful of gold, and said " See, it has been growing here all night." This avowal was heard by another witness, and, coupled with the fact that £4O in gold and silver formed part of the plunder, had a suspicious ap pearance. The same morning another witness, himself unobserved, saw Glossop on the road be tween Wadsley and Sheffield, and watched him counting a quantity of gold and silver, and putting it'into:different pockets. It Ras also proved that the prisoner Hall had said, when asked to bet on a match which was played on the Monday, that he had got some of the parson's sovereigns, and that when he was placed in the cell he de scribed minutely to another inmate the value and description of the property stolen. He also said that the booty was under the sod, wheie nobody would find it. The evidence against Fearnley was not important. Hall appears to have been very communicative, for a witness mimed Riley detailed the following conversation with him :—" I was in custody at Rotherham on Tuesday, the 11th inst., for a breach of the peace. Hall was placed in the same cell. I asked what he was in for. He said for 'touching' at Wadsley. I asked, Have you made a good ' collar' then ?' He says, ' Ay, middling. I asked him what they had taken, and he said, About 200 ' quids' (pounds) worth.' I said, Well, they'll catch you. He replied that they could not hurt them until they found the stuff. I said, ' They will find it.' He replied, 'Nay, lad, they can't find that ; t'money's reight ; it's planted.' I asked him what was taken. He replied, About £56 in gold, £2 10s. in silver, and about £l5O in plate,' adding, It did not matter, he could stand it." In a conversation about Glossop, who was also at Rotherham, Hall said he (Glossop) was a " rum devil ;" he had just come out of " stir" 1 1 (prison). e asked if all had been caught, and he said, " No, some had nipped' (absconded) ; they were fools for nipping; they should have stood , their ground like them." For the defence it was insinuated that the witnesses had come forward to give this evidence of conversations with the prison ers after they had seen announcement of a reward. The bench discharged Fearnley, and committed Hall, Baxter, and Glossop for trial at the York Assizes. The court was crowded during the pro ceedings, which occupied five hours. The Italian Freemasons have just introduced an important innovation into the statutes of the society. There are now sister masons, venerables, and great mistresses. The Correspondence, of Rome,. describe s th e ceremo ny o f installation with much minuteness, every constituent of physique except gross weight, cannot be excelled on an average comparison. As a whole, perhaps, the average of intelligence, which is understood there to mean reading and writing, e may be higher among the U n it e d S tates vo l un t eers than among the British r egu l ars ; not muc h, how ever. Sanitary t a r thoroughly Commission m of A f ric N an ew bo Y dy " , k did a very patriotic not attempt to claim more th an th ree -fif t h s o f t h e United States armies as of A mer i can bi rt h . T he The Sana immediate descendants of Irish and German parents are thus included among native-born Americans, though they are in all respects except birth Irish and Germans still. Very probably they have not par taken to the full or to any great extent of the advan tages of public education. But, taking the statement of the Commissioners—which, by the by, is a very serious reflection on the patriotism of the Northern populations—it may be doubted whether in reading, writing, and arithmetic thercis any great supe riority on the part of the United States troops over the British. I admit that in some regiments of th e New England States there is a higher average of such knowledge as may enable a man to argue on the orders of his officers, and of such intelligence as may induce him to believe he is competent to criticise the conduct of a campaign. There is an immense amount of newspaper reading and letter writing, but of the former there is more than of the latter, for our own mailbags are ample enough to satisfy any one that the same preponderance which is maintained by London over New York in corre spondence is to be found in the English army over the American. Many Irish and Germans here have no inducements to write letters. Few ar e una bl e to read their newspapers. What is it, then, which would satisfy the grumbler who finds fault with the expenditure of standing ar mies that he has got value for his money when he contrasts the British troops here with the battalions on the Potomac ? It is the efficiency produced by obedience, which is the very life of discipline; the latter is obedience incor porated, and, in motion or at rest, acting by fixed rules, with something approaching to certainty in its results. This small army could be massed toge ther with its artillery and transports in a v ery s h ort time, and directed with precision to any one point, though it is now a series of detachments on garri son duty rather than a corps d armee, and it has neither cavalry nor baggage animals. With all the liberal if not occasional extravagant outlay, and the cost of transporting it, the force in a few weeks will be far less expensive than an American corps of the same strength, and it is no disparagement.to the latter to say they would be less efficient than the British. I do not speak of actual fighting, for our battle-fields in Canada alone tell how desperate may be the encounters between the armies. O ur force is under the orders of experienced officers. The staff consists of men who have seen service i n th e Rus sian War, in Asia, in India, and in China, and who have witnessed the operations of great Europesn armies. The United States is now laboriously seek ing to acquire experience at a cost which may be ruinous to its national finances, and a delay which may be fatal to its cause, but it cannot galvanize the inert mass with the fire of military efficiency, though it burns, we are told, with hidden volcanic energies, and is pregnant with patriotic life. The use of an army in war is to fight, to be able to move to and after its enemy, to beat and pursue him. It is not to be wondered at if the work which Great Britain has only partially accomplished, notwith standing the greatness of its progress, should be only begun in the United States. The aptitude of a large mass of the inhabitants for arms, whether they be foreign or native-born, is marred by many things. There is the principle of equality intruding itself in military duty, confounding civil rights with the•relations between superior and inferior, between officer and rank and file. There is the difficulty of getting men to follow officers who have no special fitness for their post. A soldier may be made in a year, a company officer cannot be made in three years, There are many officers in the American army of great theoretical and some practical know ledge ; there are many in the British army lazy and indifferent ; but no one would think for a moment of comparing the acquirements, in a military sense, of the officers of the two nations. In the Crimean War, when our army was enlarged at a time that severe losses had much diminished the number of officers, we saw that our standard was considerably lowered by the precipitate infusion of new men . No wonder, then, that the United States had and has great difficulty in procuring officers of the least value for a levy of more than half a million of volunteers. But the system itself is a most formidable barrier to success. Under no circumstances can it reach a mo derate degree of efficiency, unless the test of subse quent examination be rigidly enfored. There is no superiority of rank, of military knowledge, of per sonal character, of social position, to create an emu lation in the mind of the private to be the obedient but daring equal of the bfficer in the time of danger. To such general remarks there are many and brilliant exceptions. In the course of time, the personal qualities and the reputation for bravery and skill of officers would stand in the Republican armies in lieu of those influences which move the British soldier. No one is foolish enough to think or say that the private follows his officer because the latter has paid so much money for his commis sion or has so much a year. The gradual rise from one rank to another is a guarantee of some military knowledge, at all events, of acquaintance with drill. Social position counts for much. Men who are equal before the law P.ZO very unequal in the drill book. It is to me lamentable to see so much faith in a cause, such devotion, zeal, boundless expenditure, and splendid material comparatively lost—to behold the petted Republic wasting away under this influ ence and the vis inertia of the force it has called into being. It is a lesson for the nations ; but it has not yet come to its end. If standing armies there must be, let them be as complete in organisa tion as can be. If an empire must rely on volunteers as its main defence, let care be taken that they are organised and efficient so as to be effective, and re gulated on such principles of economy that they may not overwhelm with debt the cou n t ry they are engaged in protecting by their arms. The whole of the North has had its heart set on the Burnside ex pedition. It is already a failure. The blow has not yet fallen. The arm is paralysed by b a d manage ment and ignorance before it can strike a blow. General Burnside has no Staff officer able to assist him. The naval officer in command has been about as useful to him as our Admiral was to Lord Raglan in the descent on the Crimea; in fact, he has done as little as he possibly could do. Th e expedition was originally, as I anticipated, intended for Aquia Creek, on the Potomac and James River. General M'Clellan, as I have reason to thi n k, d i verted it to Pamlico. The boats suited for the former were quits unfit for the latter. The President precipitated its departure. Some vessels were l ost, others are fast aground, many ar a q uite unfit for the shallow waters, others are unfit for anything. Although the sounding ought to have been well known or carefully studied, vessels were sent to places where they could not cross, or were run hard and fast on the bottom. At one time thousands of men were suffering from want of water, and it was by Provi dence, rather than good guidance, they were saved from dying of thirst. No prop er b oats were pro s vided for river operations. And so the expedition stands fast in sight of the alarmed but fast accumulat ing and preparing enemy while agents are purchas ing vessels, and stores, and boats at New York and elsewhere for the force, which is but 14,000 men in all. With that, other combinations must go or stand over for the present. If Burnside should succeed in doing nothing more than fixing the Federal tooth in a bit of marshy coast and stirring up the alli gators in the swamps, he will have effected as little as Sherman, Phelps, or Butler up to the present writing. With all this time before them, the Con federates, if they have guns and materiel, ought to be able to give his present force a severe rebuff. It is quite true that the Confederates suffer from the same disadvantages as those which affect the Fede rals, but in a far less degree. Mr. Davis, early in the war, got hold of the army and subjected it to dis cipline. It was not so difficult to do so in the South as in the North, owing to the difference in the people. The officers were appointed by him. The men were animated, as they are now, by an intense hatred of their enemy. Their armies were in a de fensive attitude ; a large number, comprising some of the best of the United States officers, sided with them. They are operating on the inner circle. But, after all, if the possession of the seaboard, the use of navies, the vast preponderance of population, the ability to get artillery and arms, and the occupation of the heads of the great river commu nications be not utterly thrown away, the North must overrun the South, if only the Northerners can fight as well as the Southerners, and if the North can raise money to maintain the struggle. Let us leave out of view the Slave element for once. The Abolitionists assert the most formidable weapon in the United States' armoury is the use of the emancipated slave, but it is rather difficult to see how the slaves could assist the North as long as they remain obedient and quiet in the South, or how the North can get at them by a mere verbal declaration till it has pierced the Slave States. Above all, it is not clear that it would benefit the penniless Exchequer of the North to have 4,000,000 black paupers suddenly thrown on it for support. Slavery is to me detestable. The more I saw of it the less I liked it. It is painful to one who has seen the system at work and its results to read in English journals philosophical—pseudo-philoso fical treatises on the subject, and dissertations on the " ethics and (esthetics" of the curse from which we shook ourselves free years ago with the appro bation of our consciences and of the world. If the North was not fighting to put slavery under the aegis of the Constitution, its cry of distress would move heart and hand in places where its appeals and promises now fall cold and dead. It has de cided on its own course, and its military operations cannot at present be much, if at all, influenced by the questions connected with slavery. Having arrived at the conclusion that the North must, under provisoes, succeed in obtaining possession of the most important points in the South, it does not follow that the latter is forced into the Union as a natural result. If the Slave States be true to their provisions they will no more belong to the Union then than they do now. They will be subjugated, that is all. The North is rapidly arriving at the conviction that they are dealing with enemies ; there is a cry going out to admit them to be so, and to ask the authorities to consider their captives as prisoners of war. "Free Corcoran" is suggested at Boston as a watchword for a public movement. " Hang Corcoran" is Mr. Davis's threat if a bridge burner is executed by General Halleck. Let us not seek to complicate matters by ill-timed interference, which would be unjustifiable also. The United States, whatever its internal composition was, must be admitted by foreign nations to be an entity—the agent of a Confederation of whose part we had no political cognisance. The revolt of the South was a surprise as com plete as the Indian mutiny. It was in May last year the United States collected the semblance of an army—in July they moved and were defeated. Then came the work of re-collection, re-organisa tion, and the formation of six armies along various parts of the frontier of their new enemy. It was not till the end of October the Federals could be said to have their levies in hand. Some movements in November we disastrous. Diversions and changes in the plans of the various campaigns were necessi tated by affairs in Kentucky and Missouri. The expeditions from which so much was expected did no more than claw on the parts of coast and occupy some points, where they remain, not by any means however, as the New York Times says, dispensing thereby with the necessity of maintaining a block ade of the adjacent ports, or opening ports in lieu of them. And at last winter came, and the state of the country now prohibits any combined move ments on a grand scale. In March the season will will be more favourable, and if a year elapses with out seeing the Northern armies well established in the South there may well be some fears that Euro pean Powers will claim a right to be heard in the interests of peace. It is now •admitted that such must be the case by the Americans themselves. In tervention is now talked of by people who would have scorned the idea of submitting to " the world in arms " a month ago. The notion of it is becoming familiarised as that of a possible evil. Men say, in deed, that it will unite all parties in the North as one man, and make them Abolitionists. Un doubtedly it is a menace which will set the armies of the North in motion as soon as •they can be moved. The evil of bankruptcy, of an unpaid army, does not alarm them ; and the piteous appeal of Mr. Chase to Congress do net move them. Congress spending its time over Mr. Bright does not vex them. The ball at the White House,—where " a large helmet in sugar at the top of the table signifying war, and a very large fort made of cake filled with quails candied, on a side table," were graceful re minders to the giddy throng that they were mortal Republicans in a state of civil tumult,—no more excites them than the pleasing squabble between the New York editors as to the priority of their invitations, but they are naturally moved by the thought of England giving a word of counsel to them, and shudder at the phantom of French intervention. The Ides of March are com ing; so are the evil days which were vaticinated for the hero of the hour. There are again more voices raised against General M'Clellan. The cry of " On !" to some place or other is being heard. Each dull delay is rebuked in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, and approval comes from the West echoing the sentiments of the people there, ;who boldly declare in one of the Chicago papers, that they will not pay the taxation caused by a New England war. On that point the follow ing is a significant extract, and it justifies the state ment I made when I was in the West last June, that the States there would not contribute their proportion of the tax : "New England has furnished fewer soldiers, according to population, than any other district of the country, and she is the only district which is making money out of the war. So much is she making that it is her interest that the war should continue. She is making much more out of the war than she would make but for the Morill tariff. She will pay less taxes, according to population and wealth, for the support of the war, than any other district of the country, and at the same time will be taxed heavily to enable New England to make money out of the war. This latter taxa tion comes of the Moriill tariff. At the same time, the war, which has been brought on mainly by New England fanaticism, has destroyed the best markets the West had for its products, so that wheat, corn, oats, barley, beef, pork, and lumber scarcely pay the cost of raising. There is no disghising the fact that the West is tiling of this sort of thing, and it will demand that the measures of taxation which Congress shall prepare shall be fairly adjusted with reference to the relative situation of New England, the Middle States, and the West. If taxes should be accord ing to representation, Illinois alone would have to pay half as much as all Now England, whereas the wealth of New England is 20 times greater than that of Illinois. New England will insist upon this mode of taxation, because, she says, the Constitution directs that direct taxes shall bo according to representation. She is all at once great l y enamoured of the Constitution. Had she been equally enamoured of it hithe r to in all thi ngs , th e countrY.wa " not know this war, There is no negro in this conflict be- N En er g t l h a , nd ae s d ho eh al o d el a d t htahvee saidvery first have to the never will recognize you," it may be observed that the tone of the press of the United States, the com mercial policy of its Congress, the threats held over us, and their past conduct in our times of diffi culty had alienated as far as could be the feelings of the mother country, and little disposed her to reverse the policy on which she has acted for so many years. If mediation wes spoken of with scorn, an offer of help would have been received with insult, could it have been possible to make it. England, indeed, has not said she would never recognize the Southern States, but neither has she acted as she undoubtedly would in the case of a similar insur rection elsewhere, and given the assurance that when the seal had been set to their long testa ment of toil and blood she would admit them among the nations. But for slavery, can one doubt the Confederate States of America would have been recognized before this year was out ? When we are taunted with our indifference to a contest in which the United States is fighting against a rebellion of slaveholders, we can reply that the Government distinctly repudiates the idea of doing anything but conquering the slave holders and enabling them to enjoy the protection of the Constitution, and that we, on the contrary, have shown the purity of our principles and the depth of our aversion to slavery by the endurance of much suffering in our material interests, and by the departure from fixed modes of action and well defined precedent, owing to our dislike to slavery and our detestation of those who make it the basis of their rule and the glory of their social system. The Northern papers know well enough that the way to avert danger of recognition is for the people to act energetically, to contribute out of their means to the war, to furnish troops and money, and. to be successful. If they . win victories and conquer their enemy, European nations will not dream of interfer ing, though England may regret to see the United States added to the number of despotic Powers and trampling on foot her own principles. But Mr. Chase has not got a penny. There are 50,000,000 dols. not yet taken of the 7 3-10 loan. There is suddenly, after much vaunting and boasting, found to be a lack of sailors. When the soldiers come to receive the Treasury notes in lieu of the gold to which they are entitled 'by law there may not be so much facility in procuring men. Again, one can only say that, if the North suffers as much as the South, and endures it all, it must win. But it has declared hitherto that the war has not caused it any great inconvenience or suffering, and there is haste to approach taxation on the part of Congress. The people of Canada are learning a useful piece of knowledge or two from what is passing so close to them. Tho annexation party is heard no more, peopleconnection, f p Canada, repa r e l loyal at to to h on thetheir eir Crown room defend their homes and altars against invasion. asntdand to s the e e So far as I have gone, in no place in the Queen's do minions is there greater attachment to her person and authority. The Canadians see with Borrow the calamities which afflict their neighbours, notwith standing all the ill-advised menaces of the Northern press ; but they felt naturally indignant at being spoken of as if they were a mere chattel, which could be taken away by the United States from Great Britain in order to spite her. With such turbulent and dangerous elements at work close to them they will, no doubt, eagerly assist the autho rities in their efforts to secure their borders and their country by putting the Militia on a proper footing. The patriotism of the Legislature can be relied en to do this. England will do the rest, and give her best in blood, if needs be, to aid the magni ficent dependency of the same Crown as that to which she is herself subject in maintaining her indepen dence. At some future day I shall continue my notes of the hasty little tour I am making here i n th e d ept h of winter in relation to military and other matters ; but I cannot refrain from reverting to the commence ment of my letter, and congratulating the country on the orderly, efficient, and well-regulated regiments it has sent out here—a handful, to be sure, but refreshingly efficient. It is most agreeable to hear praise instead of grumbling, and to know that amid no ordinary difficulties the troops have been landed and conveyed across the snows of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the month of January without any casualty or mishap worth mentioning, and twehohemye mn have ew ht an a vedesa eth conductedt ei o e tn h .eeth eerfm akesul arrangementsnue us feel themselves s ,so were soldierly proudetworthyrhley m o look,fo oursofevery commendation. e xcaleremma clean liness, ess l l i a n rym , aanndnerd,epthoortumghenetxpofostehaetmo egnr,eaantdtleemarpntatthioant by the hospitality of the New Brurswickers and the cheapness of intoxicating liquors.

The hotel in which I live—a very attentive host s doing his best to complete the re semblance by extensive dilapidations—is as like a barracks es can be. The " St. Lawrence Hall" is in a military occupation. The obstacles in way of tobacco expec nt " alterations" are bestridden b y Guardsmen, Rifle. men, and Engineers, on th eir way to breakfast and dinner, as if they were g etting through breaches.

Here is a Staff which has been Picked as a brand from the burning—at b • ng—at all events, it has been well tried himself, urbane, courteous, shrewd, firm, has no Mouravieff to fear —nor worse, no hunger to dread from any beleaguering foe on this side of the marriage brought by the plaintiff's next friend. The defendant pleaded about a dozen pleas. He first denied the promise —then that a reasonable time for his performing his promise had not yet elapsed—that the plaintiff was not ready and will ing to marry him—then, that she had, after con nection had taken place bete: een them, been un chaste to other men, whose names were set forth in the pleas—that the plaintiff had exonerated him from his promise—lastly, that a written agreement under seal existed between them, whereby ithe de fendant undertook to marry the plaintiff at his mother's death, which set aside the other promise, and that his mother was not yet dead, and that the defendant had paid a sum of money to the plain tiff, which she had accepted in satisfaction of her claim upon him. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Dowdeswell were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Hawkins, Q,C., and Mr. Prentice for the defendant. The learned counsel, in stating the plaintiff's case, characterised the defendant's conduct as the most profligate and heartless that had come before a jury. The plaintiff was the daughter of a farmer residing at Beacon-house, Great Totham, Essex. The defendant, who was the son of a clergyman, was also a farmer in the immediate neighbourhood, and farming about 170 acres of land. The plaintiff and defendant became acquainted in 1857, which re sulted in courtship and a promise to marry in June, 1858. He was introduced to the plaintiff's parents, and received as her accepted suitor. About this time he wrote her as follows : " My dear little Love, my dear little Duck—(laughter)— I hope you are alive and kicking—(roars of laughter) — and looking as well, as fresh, and as pretty as you always do. I shall be delighted to hear from you, but much more to see your lovely countenance. (Laughter.) I hope you will not desert your Charlie." The letter concluded with sending her lots of kisses. In the autumn of 1858, after his introduc tion to the family, he seduced the plaintiff, and in the May of 1859 he communicated it to Mr. Cope land, the plaintiff's brother-in-law, and promised that he would immediately make her his wife. The day was named for their marriage, and everything was provided, but he did not keep his promise, alleging that he was too nervous. (Laughter.) She was s s a n f o t w erw liv ar in d g s . con i fi l n e ed pa T i L ies o n a d p o p n e o a f r a ed ch to ild k , e w ep hi o ch rt intimate terms, and in December, 1860, he said he could not marry her till after his mother's death, but afterwards wished it to take place immediately, and arrangements were made for the marriage taking place in London, because he did not like to be married in his own neighbourhood. The license was procured, and he came to London, and saw her the night before the day appointed at her sister's. He left, and promised to be early to breakfast the following morning, and then be married. The morning came, but not the bridegroom, who again excused himself on the ground of nervousness. She afterwards received from the defendant the follow ing letter, which, it is almost needless to say, created roars of laughter : " Dec. 21. Green Dragon Hotel, Bishopsgate street Within, London. " My dearest, dearest Loo,—Heap, if you like, 10,000 curses on my head. I had a fearful night, and never closed my eyes. My life is to me truly and really a hell upon earth. I am again in this fearful, nervous, excitable state. I thought I should have cut my throat last night. no pity me, Lon, and pray for me. I do, indeed, love you and your heavenly babe, though not lawfully bogot. Ido indeed truly love it. Kies it for its father's sake. Now do, pray, my dear girl, wait till my mother's death. The poor old lady won't, in all probability, live very long. You have my word and honour and every surety of my marrying you then. I swear to act by the agreement which you have. I dare not see your dear face, the dear little chicky, or your poor old mother. lam like a hunted devil this morning. I imagined my poor old mother last night saying to me next Christmas-day, " Charles are you married Y" I could not have said, " No," if we had been, and then all must have come out. Thank God, I gave you the £S, so that it will cost you nothing. £4 4s. will do for your next Christmas quarter, and with the rest pay your fares, have a fly from Witham, and buy dear chicky, and get self a hat. Now, pray dear Loo, do not write blowing me up. 1 thought I would try (so help my God it's true, if I had the moral courage, to marry you, in the face of what I have last promised my dear mother, you, and Mrs. Copland. I can't do it, dear Loo. Cheer up, my old girl ; you have plenty of good sense and nerve. Nothing on earth prevents my having you now but my mother and tho losing of £3,000 or £4,000. Take care of my carpet bag, and the things in it, great coat, and blue rug for me, and I will either send for them at Beacon House or call for them when better. Now, do not form a wrong opinion of me. One day I will have you ; God, I believe, has ordained it, but not yet.

After this it appears that the parties occasionally met, and it was again arranged that they should be married in 1861. Again everything was pre pared and ready, but again to be disappointed.

In cross-examination she said—My daughter is in her 21st year. Ido not know that she is a high spirited girl. She wes at one time au apprentice at Maldon, and came home once a week. About Au gust, 1859, she left the Haunch of Venison, Temple bar, where she had been barmaid about six weeks.

She seid, " No." He asked, " Not on any conditions ?" She said, " What conditions ?" He replied, " Why, I'll marry you." (Loud laughter.) She said, " I don't want any more of your promises.

" Dr. Pickford 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 squally 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.
