ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRENEA; 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 Ilypochrondriasis. 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 ; 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.

" The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement, which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels himself regenerated and new made, it is on ' coming out:of _a Turkish Bath."—Era, Oct 13, 1861 .

Some Wilke most deadly and terrible of the influences last referred to originate at that period when parents fondly hope that the objects of their love are being prepared to fight honourably the great battle of life—namely, the scholastic and collegiate period. Habits are then contracted, in unsuspecting ignorance of their effects, which, if not ar rested, tend to sink the VICTIMS OF ERROR to the deepest depths of degradation and woe. The evil is aggravated by the apathy too generally evinced by the medial profession, not only as to the nature but the very existence of the diseases arising from the cause indicated, and to which the general and inadequate designation of "Nervous Disorders and Debility" has been given. One of the consequences of this neglect is, that the treatment of the most delicate classes of disease which afflict society has been taken up by unqualified and uneducated persons.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OLD BROAD-STREET. A report was brought up from the improvement committee stating that negotiations had been entered into with the owner of the house, No. 10, Old Broad-street, who had agreed to set back the front of that house, as required by the Court, for the sum of £795, and this amount they recommended should be paid as soon as the house should have been re built and the ground laid into the street. The com mittee laid before the Court a deed for execution, by which Capt. Reid agreed to set back the adjoin ing houses, Nos. 8 and 9, to the same line without any cost to the public. _ _ The report having been agreed to, the deed was at once executed. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. A report was brought up from the same com mittee, stating that the Remembrancer had reported to them that the bill of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway contained provisions which would affect the city of London. They therefore requested the Court to empower them to examine the bill, and report thereon to the Court. Agreed to. A report was brought up from the General Pur poses Committee, :recommending that the applica tion made by Mr. George Walter, to have Little New-street and New-street-square watered during the ensuing season, should be complied with.

Bd. SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETIIEBY, the medical officer of health, re ported on the state of 307 houses that had been in spected during the last two weeks, and he submitted a list of 104 places for sanatory improvement. He likewise submitted certificates of the using of Nos. 21 and 22, Union-court, Holborn ; Nos. 27, 28, and 29, Castle-street ; and No. 1, Norwich-court, as common nightly lodging-houses—all of which re quired registration. The following are extracts from his report re specting the sale of diseased meat in the City markets : " In the course of the last fortnight the officers have seized 4,763 lbs. of meat, and 111 head of poultry and wild fowl, as unfit for human food. It consisted of 59 sheep, 3 calves, 14 pigs, 27 quarters of beef, and 45 joints of meat ; 3,269 lbs. of meat were diseased, 182 lbs. putrid, and 1,312 lbs. were from animals that had died from natural causes. Some of this meat was little better than carrion, and having been condemned by the justice he submitted that the City solicitor should be instructed to take further proceedings. The practice of sending diseased meat to the City markets is again on the increase, and it was to be regretted that in a few cases the salesmen do not give that assistance to the officers which they ought. On Saturday last one of the inspectors seized the carcase of a sheep which had been slaughtered while in a state of acute disease, and had been sold as hu man food by Messrs. Bonser and Sons, of Newgate market. Those gentlemen complained in a public 1 manner of the act of the inspector, and had stated that although the animal was diseased, and the meat was not of first quality, it was, nevertheless, fit for human food. The terms and directions of the act of Parliament are so precise, and the responsibili ties of the inspector's duties so serious, that he has no alternative but to seize such meat. By the 26th clause of the City of London Sewers Act, 1851, it is declared that if, after the seizure of such meat by an inspec tor, and upon further examination by him (the medical officer) it is found and declared to be diseased, or unsound, or unwholesome, or not fit for the food of man, the same shall be immediately burned or destroyed, or otherwise disposed of in such way as to prevent the same from being ex posed for sale, or being used for the food of man. In the present case, the meat was not only diseased, but the animal had been killed while in a state of high fever from acute inflammation of the lungs and pleura, and was manifestly unfit for human food. This conclusion was derived, not merely from the fact that there were pleuralic adhesions be tween the lungs and chest, for these alone are of small importance, and are never regarded as serious signs when they are of old standing. It is rare, indeed, to fiud an animal entirely free from them, although its flesh may be in the soundest condition. They are, in fact, the signs of disease which have passed:away. In the present case, however, the whole of the walls of the chest were covered with recently effused lymph,whichwas hanging upon them in pulpy threads. The pleura was in a state of active in flammation, and the animal, at the time of its death, was suffering from acute pleura.pueumonia. The whole system, therefore, must have participated in the disease, and have been affected with the con comitant fever. The meat of such an animal, how ever good it may appear, cannot be good for human food, and the inspector would be wanting in his duty if he were to fail to seize it. It may be that the dis ease had lasted but for a short time, and that the act of the butcher had anticipated the wasting effects of the malady and the final processof nature ; but none of these circumstances render the flesh wholesome, or make it other than the act of Parliament de signates—" diseased and unsound." Unfortunately, it is a common practice with farmers and cowkeepers at the present time to slaughter animals afflicted with a hopeless disease, in order that their carcasses may be saved for the shambles. There is hardly a cowhouse in the metropolis which is not contin ually furnishing diseased animals to the butcher. Very recently these houses have been inspected by Mr. Gamgee, the principal of the Veterinary Col lege, in Edinburgh, and he has stated publicly, . the last number of the Edinburgh Peter:nary Re view, and elsewhere, that the diseased cows of the London cowhouses are invariably sent to the City slaughter-houses to be killed for food. One cow keeper of the City told him that, in July last, out of an average stock of 30 cows, he sent upwards of a score to the butcher. Considering how prevalent disease has been for the last two or three years among the eows of London, it is very probable that thousands of animals have in this way been dis posed of. The practice is not without danger, for although it may generally pass unnoticed, it now and then shows itself in an unmistakable manner. In the month of November, 1860, the effects were wit nessed by the medical officer on rather a large scale. A quantity of cow beef was brought into Newgate market by a sausage-maker at Kingaland, and made up into sausages in the usual way. The meat was not of first quality, for the i sausage maker observed, such meat never is, but s always quite second-rate. It was part of a cow that had been sent to the butcher from a London cow house. Epizootic diseases ;;rePiWalent at that time in the cow houses of London, and it is very probable that the animal was affected with one of them. It was a lean cow, and had ceased to give milk. This was all the dealer would eonfess, but the flesh of the animal told a terrible story. Of 66 persons who partook of the sausages made from it, 64 were attacked with the symptoms of poisoning, and the severity of the symptoms w ere in direct proportions to the quantity eaten. In several cases where mem bers of a family had not partaken of them, they alone escaped, and people far away from Kingsland, who had bought the sausages of a second dealer, suffered likewise. The effects were those of an ani mal poison, they were sickness, purging, giddiness, great prostration of the vital powers, intense irrita tion of the bowels, and in one case death. The matter was referred to the medical officer by the coroner for investigation, and it was fatly inquired into by Dr. Tripe, the medical officer of health for the district where the accident occurred. Both were of opinion that the effects were clearly due to the sausages ; and as the most careful chemical and microscopical examinations did not discover a trace of mineral or vegetable poison, the conclusion was that the meat of the sausages was unsound. With such a fact, and many others of a like description, before him , he should be wanting in his duty if he the sale of diseased meat, He added that it was not an uncommon practice for butchers to permitted drag for the ➢iEDICAL REVELATIONS.

SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Aberdeen on Friday, Mr. J. Stirling in the chair. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on what he had no doubt they would consider the satisfactory posi tion of the company. Six years ago, when the Aberdeen and Midland Railways were amalgamated, it was with great difficulty that the Aberdeen Company were able to devote £B,OOO in the half-year to payment of the preference share• holders, while on the Midland section they were only able to pay a 3 3 / 4 per cent. dividend. In making up the accounts everything that ought to be charged against the revenue of the half-year had been fully and fairly charged. The line was in admirable order, as also th 3 working stock, no ex pense having been spared to keep them in an efficient con dition. e p d er cent. on th e Ab er d een ord i nary The The rdeipviodretnwdassofadlospst. stock, and £2 12s. 6d. per cent. on the Scottish Midland stock were declared, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

The extension railway from Longford to Sligo would be ready for opening in the course of the present year. The works on the Liffey branch and the Clara junction were in a for ward state. The total capital expended appeared from the balance-sheet to be £3,129,903, including £112,911 invested in shares of other companies. SOUTH EASTERN. The gross traffic receipts on this company's line for the four weeks and one day ending the Ist of March amounted to £66,901, from which was deducted £2,302 for collecting and delivering goods, &c., leaving £64,599. To this sum was added £1,893 for rents and sundries, and £2,756 for the steampacket service, making the total receipts £69,248. From this was deducted the expenditure of £41,590, includ ing rates, taxes, tolls, Government duty, and expenses of steampacket service, leaving a net balance of £27,658, MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY. The traffic receipts on this company's line (five miles in length) amounted for the week ending the 26th of De cember last to £1,820 against £1,715; for the week ending the 2d January to £2,146 against £2,192 ; for the week ending the 9th January to £1,863 against £1,662; and for the week ending the 16th of January to £1,849 against £1,281.

On Monday, in the case of the Weymouth and Portland Railway Company, for a new line from Weymouth to the Isle of Portland, the preamble was passed by the com mittee. Lord Palmerston was examined on the merits of the Launceston and South Devon Railway Bill, the preamble of which was also passed. The bill of the Norwich and Spalding [Railways, for an extension of their line to IV isbeach, was rejected. The other bills forwarded a stage were those in the An dover and Redbridge Committee; in the Barnsley Coal, and the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway Com mittees. Yesterday the bill of the Spalding and Bourn Railway, for connecting the Norwich and Spalding, and Bourn and Essendine, and the Great Northern Railways, was passed in committee. The bill of the Kington and Eardisley, for a line between those places and for vesting in the company the Kington Railway, was approved and passed. The bill of the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, for deviations, was thrown out, and that of the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax, for a line in substitution of their Batley branch, was passed. Further evidence was adduced in the committees on the Crystal Palace and South Junction Railway, and on the Great Western and Andover and Redbridge Railways. The evidence in favour of the Barnsley Coal Railway Ex tension was continued, and the clauses of the Weymouth and Portland Railway Bill were considered and settled. HEALTH 01? LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The returns for London for the week that ended last Sa turday exhibit a decrease on the high mortality of the pre vious week. The deaths last week were 1,423. The average number corrected for corresponding weeks in 10 years 1852- 61 is 1,408. The actual mortality differed little from the amount as obtained by calculation from the returns of for mer years for the second week in March. The deaths from typhus are still very numerous, though the number is not quite so high as that of the previous week. They rose in that week to 123 ; they were last week 108, Twelve of these occurred in the London Fever Hos pital.

STAMPED rinrket the bodies of animals that have not been slaughtered, but have died from accident or di sease. This practice, ho said, is equally reprehensible. About a month ago the matter was contested with Messrs. Ilonser and Sons, of Newgate-market, who had sold the carcass of a dead s h ee p, :A s it is termed, for food. As in the present case, T hey in sisted that the meat was sound and wholesome, although for aught he knew the sheep might have 11,7 en accidentally poisoned with arsenical sheep- wash. " The rules which he had laid down for the guid ance of the inspectors in the matter are , that they aro to seize the meat of all animals which have not been slaughtered by the butcher, but have died from accident or disease. That they are to seize the meat of all animals killed while in a state of acute disease, or which have wasted from lingering illness; and lastly, that they are to seize it when unsound from putrefaction or disease. " They were the wholesome rules that have been acted on from very early times, and arc most reli giously observed in the present day by the Hebrews, who have brought them down from the remotest antiquity, They are the rules of almost every con tinental State, and were strictly followed by the fedi] es of ancient Rome. Finally, they arc indi cated as well as sanctioned by the laws of this city, and have been more or less observed in every town in England in all times. It can hardly therefore be said that the exercise of the authority of the Com missioners of Sewers in this manner is an innova tion, or that the rights and privileges of the butchers' trade arc unnecessarily interfered-W(lth ; and even if they were, it is proper to remember that the preser vation of public health is above all such conside r itions. The report was agreed to, and the solicitor was ,nstructed to act as he thought necessary. ASSIZE INTEL GIG E.Ar C.E. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDsTONE, TUESDAY.

Mr. Beattie said he had gone out, and had locked up his chambers. A clerk was coming down stairs and saw the prisoner, who had on an Inverness Cape, at the door. As the chambers had been entered about six months before, the clerk's suspi cions were aroused, and ho watched the prisoner.

SOUTHWARK.—Captain William nuncios, o f 48, Tennison-street, Waterloo.road, was summoned before Mr. Combo for assaulting Parvero Ferrara, an Italian 'organ player, by striking him over the head and back with a whip. Mr. Rice, solicitor, of Pall-mall, appeared for the defendant. The complainant, through an interpreter, said that on Monday or Tuesday last, in the afternoon, he was with his organ and a monkey in Tennison street, Waterloo -road. He was playing his organ when the defendant opened a door close by and made motions for him to go away. He waved his hand, and witness left off playing and crossed the road. He then recommenced playing opposite another house, when the defendant again came out with a whip in his hand, and his slippers on. Ha struck at the monkey and missed him, and he then struck the witness over the head and back with his whip. The witness went away, and the next day came to this court for a summons. In cross-examination the witness said he could not recollect whether the day on which the assault took place was Monday or Tuesday. Augustus Robertson, a traveller, residing at 5, Tennison-street, said he saw the complainant play ing his organ with a monkey on it. The defendant came out of his house with a whip in his hand, an't aimed a blow at the monkey, but he could not say whether he struck it. He thought the defendant was in a great passion, as he would not give the organ-player time to get away. He could not tell what then took place. He believed it was in the middle of the day. He did not know whether it was before or after dinner. Mr. Rice said he had a complete answer to the case, and should be able to show that no assault whatever had been committed. He had two ladies in court to contradict the witnesses. Mr. Combe said that neither the complainant nor his witnesses could tell when the assault took place. Under these circumstances he could place no re liance on their evidence and should dismiss the case. THE BRITISH MINISTER Al WAS. - a- ING TON. • If diplomacy now-a-days is a very different affair from the system of espionage which the Vene tian Republic organised for itself at every Court of Europe, the contrast is not less striking in the fate that befalls modern diplomatic corre spondence. Instead of being sepultured in secret archives, like the collection of Simancas, 'whose mine of gossip, slander, and intrigue European historians are only now beginning to work, our de mocratic publicity demands that Ambassadors an nually make a clean breast of it; and all the mys steries of diplomatic note paper are yearly unveiled and laid before Congress or Parliament in the vul gar form of a blue-book. The current session of the British Legislature has brought with it its customary batch of such official papers, and among these are no less than six voluminous collections of documents relating to the United States, of which we have received copies. We have already drawn largely on this body of diplomacy, and to-day we make new and copious selections from that collection of the papers which contains Lord Lyons' despatches to his Go vernment. Collection No. J. of the Parliamentary papers is entitled " Correspondence relating to the Civil War in the United States of North America," _ _ and consists mainly of despatches from the English Ambassador at Washington to Earl Russell, her Britannic Majesty's Foreign Secretary. It contains 156 official papers, the first bearing date of Novem ber 12, 1860, and the last coming down to February of the present year. The series thus covers the whole period—so opulent in events—from the election of Mr. Lincoln and the inception of secession, till now that its mad career is almost run, and a half-ruined people begin to realise the amazing folly into which they allowed themselves to be precipitated. Our selection from this correspondence, which we com mence with the period of the attack on Fort Sumte r , inter preted b sincey the that representativetime neiegdnhi tbncyaeoweli of the dheavrteti international aai e i is made with the design to bring out in. what man ner the series of events that have developed them d what ioo e r n nn t se ai himself w W h a i s c h h i i n hn g et t hh o ean has been o t k ndi n e ns a ahe s l nr o a t r ho i a i m ev n n e p t s hre a o na t. - r s' i tent a part. The great historical interest and value that attach to this interior view of the most impor tant branch of our foreign diplomacy oan hardly be over- estimated, but we may say it has more than a historical—it has a vital interest. It is well known that one of the most important of the ambassadorial present, public p as or t t h a e nt i f s un to cti t o r n a s n , s e m sp it ec s i t a a l t l e y m i e n n s tro h f a a e l r l is i i m s events to the home Government, which depends, mainly on the impressions thus received for guid ance in its official dealings. I t is ob v i ous , therefore, that we have a direct interest both in the intellec tual and the moral qualities of the ambassad or i a l reporter.

We do not think eur readers will peruse the ext • ensive correspondence of Lord Lyons, which we publish elsewhere, without reaching the gratifying conclusion that the repre sentative of the British Government at Washington has acted throughout an upright, an honourable, and a liberal part towards the Government and the country to which he is accredited. Where he re ports facts it is done temperately, judiciously, and fairly ; and, though he is frequently off the mark, and sometimes wholly wrong, the error is obviously not the dictate of ill intent. In his purely official, dealings, in the numerous transaecatiroendstion clash, the, rights of the two conntlecshapasp is b t his as ' °lle strong British ground h u duty, h e interferes w with his modif y i ng always takes, never suasion of ' - Justice his views under the per .• Early in the correspondence we get into hot water ; M r; su spected (unjustly suspected) Seward 'scoquetting with Canada evidently caused some zealous, not to -ealous pangs, and we have glimps of - say i es diplo matic passadoes between his lordship and the Secre tary of State that must have been of a very high style of art. Other causes of difference appear in abundance—the arrest of British subjects, the threatened seizure of vessels rumoured to have been purchased by the rebels in Canada, the anticipated abrogation of ports of entry, and what not—but it must be remembered & that in its very nature, chiefly _. diplomatic interchange is confined to points on which there is a disagreement, matters on which there is agreement requiring no attention. Never theless, there are throughout this correspondence frequent instances of a cordial, conciliatory spirit, and proofs of a "distinguished considera tion" deeper that is far than verbal. It is pro per that this fact should be adequately emphasized • for there was a time at the beginning of the re bellion, when some natural sensibilities of the pub lic mind, excited by the course taken towards the., rebels by foreign Governments, caused their repro. sontatives to be looked on with a suspicion f':om which the British Minister was not wholly ex(.;mpt. The public will be gratified to learn hey/ little ground there was for this suspicion. As Lowl Lyons 1 reveals himself in the present correspondence, he 1 gives the impression of a discreet. and sensible, 1 hough not always of an acu te or clairvoyant mind. There are glimpses of transactions in which hi s qualities appear as a poor m atch for the am az i n g flexibility of Mr. Seward's nature. But he i s throughout—and his mission has not been without its trials—a high-toned gentleman and diplomatist.

P 4. , cio York, y i• ay RA (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) Felix Finn, 43, was indicted for stealing seven sheep, the property of James Pearson. Mr. F. Russell and Mr. Colquhoun conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ribton. It appeared that the prosecutor was a farmer at Cranbrook, and the prisoner was a sort of jobbing butcher and dealer in cattle, residing at Marden. The sheep in question were all safe in one of the prosecutor's fields on the 18th of December, and on the following morning they were missed. The evidence against the prisoner was that on the night following the robbery he was seen to be driving seven sheep along the road leading from Cranbrook to Marden, and he afterwards employed a man to kill six of them, and, by the prisoner's directions, the carcases were sent up to London. From information received by the prosecutor, he wont to the prisoner's premises, and in a shed he found one of the missing sheep alive, and he after wards was shown the skins of the six sheep that had been stolen, and he identified them by the marks that were upon them as his property. The prisoner, it appeared, when he was questioned upon the subject, declared that he had bought the seven sheep in Ashford market, and it was stated that he had always borne a good character, and was always looked upon as a respectable man in his position of life. Mr. Ribton made a powerful appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and he contended that there was nothing to show that he did not really purchase the sheep at market as he had stated. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom mended him to mercy. Mr. Justice Wightman said it was a very serious offence, and he sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for three years, NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—yo RK . (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) Richard Buckle, 35, was charged with feloniously administering one ounce of laudanum to Jane Buckle, his wife, with intent to murder her, at Middlesborough, on the 26th of June last. Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Serle prosecuted ; Mr. Millie defended the prisoner. On the 26th June last the prisoner was a police officer in the Middlesborough force. His wife had been subject to pains, and on the above day he gave her a dark brown liquid, which he said she was to take just before getting into bed,and to say nothing to her sister, who was in the house, about it. This latter precaution excited Mrs. Buckle's suspicions, and she therefore confided what had transpired to her sister. Upon going to bed Mrs. Buckle took half of the liquid, instead of the whole as she had been instructed, and at an early hour on the following morning she became dangerously ill, vomited seven or eight times, and had to keep her bed the whole of the day. The matter, however, passed over until a fortnight after, when the prisoner brought home a powder which he said he had got for her from a person named Hopper. This, whilst her husband slept, she took from his coat pocket, and substitut ing in its place a similar looking powder, composed of sugar and flour, she took the former to Mr. Dickenson for analysation, when it was discovered to be strychnine. His wife then, in fear of her life, took her child away from the house, and gave infor mation to the police.

MANSION-HOUSE.--Charles Samuel Toone, a young man of 22, who refused his address, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with a robbery. About eight o'clock on Monday evening Police• constable Robinson, who was in plain clothes, was inßishopsgate-street-without, and saw the prisoner loitering about the shop of Mr. Teed, a grocer, in a manner which excited his suspicions. He watched the prisoner for a few minutes, and saw him go into the shop twice, then come out again, and look up and down the street. He entered a third time, and, taking up a chest of tea which lay within the door way, walked off with it on his shoulder. The con stable followed and overtook him.
