" 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 delayed 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.

Betiveen two and three o'clock in the morning a terrific explosion was heard, the hatchways were blown up, several of the people thrown from their beds, women and children were screaming, men rushing to find their wives, and all was confusion and dismay. Fire instantly broke out, and within a quarter of an hour she was in flames from stem to stern. Thanks to the officers and the excellent discipline of the troops, nearly the whole of the persons on board were landed in safety. One poor boy, Smith, was much injured; he was taken to the hospital, but the next day he died. Upon the evidence taken at the coroner's inquest it appeared that the prisoner had charge of the maga zine and the gunroom, and about eight o'clock on the evening of the 2d of June the prisdner had gone below, and had in the gunroom lighted a lucifer match, and had thrown it smoking on the floor, on which there was a variety of stores, such as ham pers and wine cases. There was a hatchway over the room, having holes in it, and above was the women's cabin. The theory was that something had taken fire, and had smouldered from eight o'clock until two, and had thus caused the explo sion. That was the case that would be laid before them, and it would be for the jury to say whether the prisoner had been guilty of negligence, and whether that negligence had led to the catastrophe. The learned judge said upon these facts he could hardly suppose that the jury would convict the prisoner. There was an interval of six hours be tween the time the prisoner was in the gunroom and the fire breaking out ; no fire had been seen, and no burning had been smelt. He did not like interfering with the province of the jury, but it was a strong thing . to support that this burning was going on for six hours. A jury did not guess at a man's guilt. He did not invite the learned coun sel to withdraw the case, but if he did so he did not think he would be doing wrong. Mr. Collier said he had consulted his learned friend, and after his lordship's observations, which. completely agreed with his own opinion, he should withdraw the case from the jury, particularly as there was another indictment against the prisoner for a misdemeanour. . Mr. KINNAIRD, M.P., after introducing the depu tation, stated that the memorialists viewed with alarm the extreme danger that would result to the peace and well-being of the British empire from granting the further concessions now demanded on behalf of Roman Catholics. The concessions sought to be obtained, as stated in the memorial, were -Ist. The admission of Romish chaplains into gaols and workhouses on the same footing as the Pro testant chaplains, the ministers of toe Established. Church. 2d. The proposal to admit Roman Ca tholic barristers into the office of the Lord Chan cellor of Ireland. 3d. The memorialists had further bring a to lready under ted lordship's to hi t s hemem gran n o o f tie t e he a concession already Rome, whereby, owing to a partial administration of the law, all Romanists are specially exempt from b e s the operation of the act entitled "The Charitable Trusts Act." Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. Colquhoun, Sir C. Burrell, Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Langton, and other gentle men having spoken in support of the memorial, Lord PAL➢IERSTON, in reply, said that he pre sumed the deputation attended as a political body, and he would not, therefore, enter into the religious aspect of the questions He had no hesitation iu saying that Roman Catholic ascendancy was inimi cal to civil and religious liberty, but he did not think it fatal, as appeared from the cases of Bel gium and Piedniont ; still he did not desire to see the experiment tried in this country, and against such a state of things there were several acts of Parliament. But the practical question for them to consider was how, when a population consisted in part of Roman Catholics, they were to do what was equitable and just, so that men of every creed might have an opportunity of enjoying their reli gious convictions. He thought that Roman Catho lic priests should be set apart for Roman Catholics in gaols, and be under the control of the governor. To meet the case of the workhouses an act of Par liament would be necessary. The Lord Chancellor bf Ireland had but two livings at his disposal in Dublin. He hoped, however, the matter would be referred to a select committee and all the details necessary would then be brought out. Mr. KINNAIRD reminded his lordship that he gave his support to the bill. It was Mr. Disraeli who proposed the committee, and it would have given rleasure to the deputation if his lordship had adopted that course. Lord PALMERSTON remarked that, as advised, he gave his support to the bill because it appeared to him that the office was mainly, if not altogether, for the exercise of judicial functions. But if the case turned out as it was represented by the deputation, he shOuld be disposed to reconsider the subject. All such details would be fit matter for inquiry, and lie thanked the deputation far bringing the matter thus to his notice. As to the Charitable Trusts Act, the delay in subjecting the Roman Catholic Charities to the Commissioners' Board was caused by the Government not yet having had time to bring them under its operation. After some further conversation of a very inde finite character, the deputation thanked Lord Pal merston for his courtesy, and the interest he had evinced in the subject of the memorial, and then withdrew. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The same prisoner was then indicted for that he, being a seaman on board a British ship,unlawfully did an act tending to the immediate loss and 'de struction of the ship, by using a lighted uncovered candle in the gun-room. The same counsel were engaged as in the former case. Evidence was given to show that the prisoner on the 10th of May had lighted a match, and that on the night in question the prisoner was observed to go down to the gunroom without a light, and that when there a light was seen. It was shown that the prisoner was extremely active in assisting to get the troops out of the ship, and was almost the last man to leave it. The judge said, he should tell the jury that if they thought the act of the prisoner might have tended to the serious danger of the ship, although any person present might have prevented the danger, that that act came within the statute. It was evidence for the jury. The jury acquitted the prisoner, thinking that although he had been guilty of a breach of duty, still that his act did not tend to the serious damage of the ship. THE LATE RIOT AT CREMORNE GARD ENS. Yesterday, at the Westminster Police-court, Cap tain Baird, of 10, Bury-street, St. James's, Ensign Herbert Osborne, of the 43d, 16, Bury-street, St. James's, and Mr. Hope Johnstone, of Long's Hotel, appeared. to their bail for final examination, all charged with attempting to rescue from the cus tody of the police Mr. George Wilson, of Lowe's Hotel, St. Alban's-place, who was not present (charged with assaulting a waiter and the police, at Cremorne Gardens, on the morning of the Bth instant. Baird was further charged with assaulting a waiter and the police, and using disgusting lan- guage. Mr. Paul attended for Mr. Simpson, and having intimated there was no further evidence, stated that Mr. Simpson entertained no vindictive feeling to wards the defendants, but was merely actuated by one motive, that of preserving peace and good order in the gardens lie had always conducted properly, protecting the general public from insult. These sort of things had been so frequent of late that Mr. Simpson had thought it desirable to appear by counsel, and he now placed the matter unreservedly in the hands of the magistrate, who would of course bear in mind that although the three defendants had been guilty of great indiscretions, still the case against them was much less serious than that against Mr. Wilson. Mr. Lewis, jun., who appeared for the defen dants, would not attempt to justify the conduct of Mr. Wilson, who had been charged with a very Aerious assalt ; and he did not blame Mr. Simpson for taking the course he had done, but Baird denied the assault upon the constables Walsh and Hilier with a stick ; and supposing he had committed them he was only 19, had undergone some slight impri sonment, and much anxiety and expense, and there fore he (Mr. Lewis) hoped he would not be punished to any serious extent. With regard to Johnstone, the used—" e l-ery w Don't ords whichtake him,th the e j o l n l st g ab et le h Hi im her awa sa y i , d h” and tried to do so—showed that Mr. Johnstone, not knowing what Mr. Wilson had done, and see ingsa id that h him dr drunk would nk and t inthe maw custodyayo quietly, f the iety, so he thatpionligcet,ohtad no further disturbance sh ould be committed ; and Mr. Osborne had take n no p art in the m a r ff . ai ß r a a ir t a a 0 1 I n , sbtuattihoan to had m erelysee what 1 g m o t n w e a into h ethe matter.cro vg d going the former examination had waited till four o'clock and went away for a few minutes, and when he came back found the case had been adjourned. • A Mr. Chichester said Baird had no stick on the night in question ;' and Captain Payne that John stone knew nothing of the affair till Wilson was in custo dy. rnold commented a t grea t l eng th upon the Mr. facts andof i\fr. the .Osborne cas e He d . haas i o d m no is t in e t o h nd k an r ed r. Johnstone theinselves as to deserve any very heavy punishment, although they had acted very improperly and imprudently, and he should call upon each of them to find One surety in £2O to keep the peace for six months. With regard to Mr. Baird the case against him was much stronger, and he had heard that instead of waiting on the former examination till four, and coming back as alleged, he had driven off in a cab with Mr. Wilson, and his recognizances in £4O would be entreated, and in default of a levy not being satisfied, he would be sent to prison for three months. The cases of using filthy language to females and assaulting Hillier 'were not fully proved, but he should fine him £2 for assaulting the waiter Irvine, and £5 for assaulting the constable Walsh, and further require him to find one surety in £5O to keep the peace for six months.

In our obituary yesterday we announced the death of General Earl Cathcart, who died on Satur day last at his residence at St. Leonard's-on-Sea'. The gallant nobleman was,brother of General Cath cart who was killed at Inkerman, and, like his father and many of his ancestors, was brought up to the military profession. He entered the army in 1799, and for the first 16 years of his career in the army he saw much active service, having served in the Helder expedition in 1799 ; in Naples and Sicily on the staff of General Sir James Craig during the campaigns of 1805-6 ; at the Walcheren expedition in 1809, taking part in the sioge of Flushing ; and subsequently, in 1812, having joined the army iu the Peninsula, and taken part in the battles of Barossa, Salamanca, and Vittoria, during which he served as assistant-quartermaster general; and during the campaigns of 1815 in the Netherlands and France. He was present at Wa terloo, as one of the Royal Staff Corps, acting as one of- the assistant-quartermaster generals at tached to the British forces. The gallant general was appointed, in 1837, Commander of the Forces in Scotland and Governor of Edinburgh Castle; and in 1846 he was made Governor and Comman der-in-Chief of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Bruns wick, &c. On his return home from North Ame rica he was appointed to the command of the Northem: and Midland District, where he served the custornhiry period, and was succeeded by Lieutenant_G e - n cyal Sir Harry G. Smith, who naw holds the commai;d. For his services in the Peninsula he received . the g old _ medil and two clasps, and in recognith2n of his service s at Waterloo was made a 'Knight of the Order of St. Wilhelm of Holhind, and of St. Vladimir of Russia. In 1838 he was nominated a Knight Com mander of the Order of the Bath, And was made a . Grand Cross of that order only a fevj weeks since. By his death the colonelcy ef the Ist (ti!e King's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards, to wloci; he was appointed in January, 18:51, becomes vacant. His commissions in the army bore date as follows Ensign, May, 1799 ; lieutenant, August 10, 1799; captain, February 3 , 180 3 ; major , M a y 14, 1807 ; li e utenant-colonel, August 30, 18 10 ; colonel , Aug. 12, 1819 ; major - general, July 2 2 , 1830 ; lieutenant general, November 23, 1841 ; and general, June 20, 1854. The deceased, Charles Murray , Earl and Viscount Cathcart, and Baron Greenock in the peerage of the United Kingdom, also Baron Cath cart in Scotland, was eldest son of William, first Earl, by Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Andrew Elliott, uncle of the first Earl of Minto. H e was born December 21, ndrew 1783, and was consequently in his 76th year. On the death of his father, General Earl Cathcart, in 1843, he succeeded to the famil y honours.

The question for this long-suffering and iadus trious people is, how long these burdens are to be borne ? The despotic Government which exists in France'threatens to exhaust not only that country but every other in the neighbourhood by costly and unnecessary armaments. No sooner is one war at an end than the expectation, of another begins. No sooner does the cloud break up in the South than another is seen to be forming in the North east. The peace which has just been concluded has left Europe in the worst possible situation. The military ascendancy of France on the Conti nent is established, and yet those political changes which might have removed the danger of a future collision have not been realised. Magenta and Solferino have proved that Frenchmen can beat Austrians in the field, but those great victories have done nothing else. Furthermore, the French Emperor returns to Paris to some extent a baffled and irritated man. He has acquired the conscious ness of his power, he knows that he is equal to any German martinet in the condUct of an army, and that he has troops which will carry him through every difficulty. And yet he leaves Italy still under Austrian influence, the Pope, perhaps, unconciliated by the honours thrust upon him, the other Sovereigns as Austrian as ever ; while at home the parties hostile to the Empire are as ac tive as at any period of last year. He cannot but feel that future . and more complete triumphs are necessary to crown the edifice of his fame, and it is not difficult to conjecture the quarter on which the storm will break. Prussia must look to her self, and it certainly becomes the duty of this coun try to watch every movement of so dangerous a neighbour. Nay, we conceive that a time may coins wht7lp the extension of the French navy will give us a right to ask for explanations regarding armaments wickare necessarily intended for offen sive warfare. Thi s : .rnational courtesy is by all -means to be observed, sO i;lit a people is not bound to quiet and see preparati to have no Napoleonist party destructiol. Fortunately, we art; likely henceforth s made for , its own in this country. The crotchety Liberals, who have been f. nr the last . ' 10 years. consorting with refugees until ti;..eY had lost almost all regard for their own country, Pn d in the name of liberty made themselves the trum peters of the most military despotism in Europe, have received a severe lesson. We may now trust that the whole nation will approve any attempt to bring about such a reduction of the armaments of Europe as will give some hope of a future allevia tion of our burdens.

S. Castle, late commander of the Sarah Sands transport ship, for his intrepid conduct on the occasion of the burning of that ves sel. Captain Engledue, the superintendent at Southampton of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany, briefly addressed the assembly, stating that an application had been made to the Board of Trade for some official recognition of Captain Castle's ser vices, which was declined on'the score of want of precedent, although the reply paid a high tribute to the heroism and courage displayed by that offi cer. Since then no move had been made on the part of the Government, and it was thought, that the time had now arrived for a deputation from the different ports to wait upon the Government, again to press the matter upon their attention. Mean time, a subscription was commenced among the mercantile marine service, which had already en abled them to have the gratifying task that day of presenting Captain Castle with a purse of £l5O and a handsome gold chronometer. He was happy to say that money was still coming in, so that that might`be looked on as only an instalment. He had great pleasure in handing to Captain Castle, on the part of the subscribers, the chronometer and purse, accompanied with the following address : " To J. S. CASTLE, ESQ., LATE COMMANDER OP THE STEAM TRANSPORT SHIP SARAH SANDS. "Dear Sir,—The accompanying gold watch and purse containing £l5O are presented for your acceptance. The amount has been raised by the admirers of your conduct on the occasion of the burning of the Sarah'Sands, steam tran sport ship, at sea. The subscribers feel that ,it wag under Divine Providence, due to your cool and seamanlike con duct, aided by the courage and discipline of the troops en board, that the ship and the 450 souls in , her at the time of the disaster were saved. It will be satisfactory to you to know that among the subscribers there:ha,s been. only one feeling expressed—namely, admiration of your conduct, and regret. that such a public service as yours has not yet 'Met with a suitable reward from the Government of the coun try. With hearty and sincere wishes for your future pros perity, we are, dear sir, on behalf of the subscribers, yours most faithfully." Captain Castle said he could scarcely find words to express his gratitude. Coming from the members of the merchant service, and the greater portion of it from the company which he now had the honour to serve, this handsome testimonial possessed an addi tional claim on his gratitude. He could not but feel that he had been ill-used by the Government, and that there must be something wrong when they could not reward men for their services. They were ready enough to punish. If an unfortunate captain lost his ship, an inquiry' was held, sometimes pre sided over by men who did not understand nautical matters, and his certificate withheld and often suspended. The same power that punished ought to reward. He must not omit to render tribute to the officers of his ship, and those in command of the troops. The discipline maintained on the occasion no doubt saved innumerable lives. He should always look upon this testimonial with pride, and he thanked them from the bottom of his heart for the kindness that day shown him. Mr. J. Jackson, Secretary of the Mercantile Marine Association of London, said he attended as the representative of that body, who coincided most heartily with what had been said, and was pleased to see so deserved a testimonial presented by a gentleman who so thoroughly understood the mercantile marine ques tion as Captain Englcdue. We are requested to mention that subscriptions for the testimonial con tinue to be received by Captain Engledue, - at South ampton, and Jones,Loyd. and Co. of London. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the _Registrar-General's Report.) Fourteen hundred deaths were registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday. The numbers returned successively in the last four weeks exhibit the rapid increase of mortality under an increasing and unusually high temperature of the air ; there were 970, 1,024, 1,226, and 1,400. The mean temperature in each of the same periods was GO deg., 63.5 deg., 67.4 deg., and 71 deg. The mean temperature of the first two weeks of July exceeded by 7 deg. that of the last two weeks in June. In the ten years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding, with the last week was 1,000 ; but as the deaths of last week oc-• purred in an increased population, they should be con :nared with the average raised in proportion to t h e f n ,:rease, namely, with 1,100. The comparison g i ves an t zufavourable. result, for it shows that the deaths in the preen return were higher by 300 than the number whit'' the average rate of mor tality for the second wet.'k of July would have produced. bk returns for last The most striking feature in week is the-increase in the mortality- from diarrho3a. Taking again the last four weeks, it, appears that this disease was fatal in 34, 58,132, and, 264 c ;sea t The mortality of last week from this diseJse was, therefore, exactly double that of the preceding week, and more then four times as great as that of the last week of Sane. In the corresponding weeks of 1857-58, the deaths from diarrhoea werelso and 126 ; in 1857 the deaths reached 302, but not till the end of July. Of the 264 cases now returned, 245 occurred to infants before they were two years old. It may also be observed that more cases occurred in the north and east districts than in those on the south side of the river, although the population of either of the former 'groups is much less than that of the latter. Twenty occurred in Marylebone, 28 in Pancras, where diarrhoea a pps rs to have been more fatal than in districts less r el,,.ote from the Thames. Besides the deaths from diar:hcea, 25 were rrierrecl to cholera, or " choleraic dit:rrhcea," all among children, except two. A woman, ag ed 60 years, died at 16, Wey square, on 'the 13th inst., mou th-street, Cave.riclish of " cholera (11 days,\.. consecutive fever (10 days.)" A girl, aged 6 years , died on July 10, at 2 , Cir cus-road, Gospel Oak_kef,is, from " exposure to the sun, effusion ;" a captain f the Royal Artillery . (half -pay), aged 58 years , diet; on July 15, in Ken tish-town, from " sunstroke, lammatton of the in brain (40 hours) ;" a stoker in a teamboat, aged 22 years, died on July 11 , at 12, Gloi;se lane. Wool wich, from " apoplexy from exp osure tk: excessive heat (3 hours) ; and a widow, aged 68 yea: s, died on July 14, at 5, Duke-street, Bloomsbury, from " enterodynia (16 hours), and exhaustion from ex treme heat." Last week the births of 981 boys and 876 girls, in all 1,767 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849- 58 the average number was 1,834. METROPOLITAN WATERS IN JUNE. The waters employed for domestic purposes in the metropolis, and supplied by different companies, have been analysed in the month of June, by Dr Robert Dundas Thomson, F.R.S., of St. Thomas's Hospital. The influence of the dry weather con tinues to diminish the amount of impurity dissolved in these waters. For the sake of comparison, the composition of the new supply to Glasgow is added, with that of one of the shallow wells of London, the use of which the best authorities consider to be detrimental to health.

With respect to the proposed Income Tax, the 1 Times' City article remarks :—" The Budget, although it has dispelled any expectations that. may have been entertained of a loan, has not exercised material influence on the. Stock-mar ket. The general feeling regarding it cannot be said to be completely satisfactory. Objectors com plain that after the long suspense scarcely a single improvement has been suggested, or any idea ached upon but the old one of breakin„7, all promises c n cerninr* the income tax, and that eventhis is ace n- . 1 paniedby the needless inconvenience of t he a g mated impost being thrown sudde nl y on one per , od of the year, as well as by a recurrence to the demo ralising precedent of exempting certain classes iby a departure from the pro rata principle. It is also regretted that there was not even an allusion to such points as the expediency or otherwise of ;an export duty on coal, the equalisation of th e su g ar duties; the better adjustment of the probate duty, &c., which have been for months past the subject of active discussion. The necessity that the increase in the income-tax should be all✓ levied in a single half-year is wholly disputed, since any requisite tem porary advance on the security of its future collec tion could be obtained from the Bank of England. There is a feeling, moreover, that nothing could be more calculated to prejudice. the existing ardour for national defence than a large and inequitable income-tax ; and it is noticed in confirmation of this that on the conclusion of his statement, tr. Gladstone was favoured on the part of two or three economical members with the doubtful commenda tion that his proposals wiil be especially likely to ' awaken the attention of the 'nation to the extra vagance of our expenditure.' Those who would be termed alarmists are disposed to consider that, at a moment like the present, preparation shbuld be made no less as regards money than men ; that a good reserve should be held in hand, and that for that purpose a moderate loan should have been raised while Consols are at 95, leaving the income tax as an ulterior resource. That we shall now have no reserve, notwithstanding the new pressure put upon the people, was admitted last night; and it was pleaded that 67 articles in the Customs' tariff which impede trade and yield only £7,000 must be continued because reform cannot be at tempted until there shall be ' dome margin between revenue and expenditure to operate upon.' " TIIE FAMILY OF HENRI - CORT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE - TIMES. Sir, ---On various occasions I have read with plea sure your notices of the inventions of Henry Cort, but regret to find that your able advocacy Of his children's claims has not been properly appre ciated either by the Government or the public. It is well known that the discovery of the arts of puddling, piling, welding, fagotting, and rolling iron belongs to Henry Cort ; and it is also known that these processes have been carried on , with great success and with great benefit to the country for the last 70 years. It is, however, perhaps, not so generally known that Cort expended a fbrtune of upwards of £20,000 in perfecting his inventions, that he was robbed of the fruits of his discoveries by the villany of an official in a high department of Government, and that , che ated and persecuted, he was ultimately allowed to starve by the apathy and selfishness of an ungrateful country. When these facts are borne in mind, and it has been ascertained,that his inventions have conferred yment to mpl eo upon the country an am ount oiven f wealth equivalent to £600,000,00 0 sterling , and g 600,000 of the working population of our land during the last three generations, we are surely justified in referring with pride to results of such vast importance while we insist upon the duty which devolves upon the nation to rescue from a ll penury and distre ss the descendants of such a bene factor. An appeal was recently made through the pages theco lu f m ac n t s tohfatthoeu tof Times, af I m desire il v of the Encyclop edia Beitanniea, but, like aofi to t h g e iv r e e pre vious appea ls, it was barren of result. Once more, t p l u i r b o li u e g i h t they to are still living one son and two , daughters of Henry Cort, whose united age s now exceed 200 years, and who are destitute of the most Meagre com forts of life. Assuredly such a state of things should not be • in a count • ly where charity is no b o ast such claims should need no other advocacy than publicity. I offer through you, sir, a donation of £lOO to wards a n at-; onal subscription for the relief of these aged persons. The leading ironmasters of the country will, I doubt not, fill up the lists with much larger sums. The case is one for prompt and generous relief. The Government should do some thing, but, as in many former and noteworthy cases and thin gs, will only I fear the ' e tendered cases assistance from that quarter when it is too late. In this appeal for the benefit of a distre ssed family I have not noticed what is due to its founder's memory ; but, looking at the servi ces he has rendered to the iron trade and our iron con structions, I venture to affirm that the name of
