ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; ut the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places t within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

S#ulci result in favour of any considerable number, or o n l y one, of these rifles, as is stn.ted to be more than likely,thc council will find themiielyes in cn nu pleasant positior,,si nun the fir r..r?. st Bta of cmiipf.,'tition. for the Queen 's Prize is now concluded; If the report should be unfavourable, loud arc the threals of action at law against the London Armoury Com pany, by whom the majority of the impeached rifles have been sold under warranty. The deer target yesterday ran all day, to the in tense amusement of the spectators, who congregated a b ou t him in large numbers, and the i n t ense dicr [gust of the disappointed marksmen, who paid their 2s. per shot with no other result than to miss the bull's eye, or, worse still, to hit that forbidden spot, the haunch, and so to be fined a shilling_ For those who wish to perfect themselves as marksmen this running deer is the best target on the ground, presenting a moveable bull's eye of eight inches diameter at 120 yards' range, travelling at a mode ' rate speed, and at the same time strikingly life-like. Nevertheless, the number of bull's eyes made is surprisingly small. Daring the hour of its run ning on Thursday evening 49 shots were fired, many of which were by accomplished sportsmen, and yet the bull's eye was not once hit. Then, again, yesterday the firing was continued from. half-past nine to half-past 11 with the same result ; but then, as if by a miracle, two bull's eyes were made successively, and, after one intervening shot, a third, among the cheers of excited onlookers. After a lapse of 20 minutes a fourth was made, and then the running deer was left, another long intee val of immunity from damage by rifle shot for hours. The four fortunate marksmen—for ether competitors said these were mere flukes—were as follows :—A. Munro, Ist Lanark ; Sergeant Sloper, 4th Dorset ;J. Freu, 4th Lanark—all of whom used long Enfields ; and Captain Thresher, sth Dorset, who used a Turner rifle—the honour being equally divided between the counties of Lanark and Dorset, neither of which is particularly renowned for deer stalking. Later in the day the bull's-eye was hit by others, among whom was Captain Ross. Pool at the ordinary targets was very active yesterday, and the shooting good. The number of those who paid their shilling for, pool on Thursday was 2,819 ; those who paid for sighting (sixpence) were 3,070; the number of admissions by payment on that day being 289, the lowest number of the three days. For yesterday the return has not yet been furnished. As an item of some general interest we may state that the quantity of ammunition issued from the Go vernment tent, in charge of Sergeant A. Mullis, R.H.A., and Police-Sergeant Picton, A division, was as follows :—Tuesday, 15,360 rounds ; Wed- • nesday, 18,240 rounds; Thursday, 13,440 rounds. 6 _ 6 - - ,= THE QUEEN'S PRIZE.-FIRST STAGE. The shooting at 600 yards, the concluding range on the first stage of the Queen's prize, was naturally the most interesting event of the day. The fluctua tions of the contest were closely watched; when it was known—at the termination of the firing—that a Yorkshireman had attained the highest score, and so become entitled to the silver medal of the asso ciation, a loud cheer was raised by his brother Yorkshire Volunteers—who mustered pretty strong ly on the ground—which we are compelled to add, was not very heartily responded to by volunteers belonging to other counties. The following is the official return of the principal scores made in this contest :-- • - Total. 41 41 40 40 39 39 39 38 38 38 38 38 IMPERIAL PAR LIAMEN T HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY. Their lordships assembled at four o'clock. EAST GLOUCESTER RAILWAY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said an order had been made for the attendance of William Isaacs, clerk to Mr. Boodle, of Cheltenham, John Preston, town crier, Robert Lingwood, solicitor, and Charles Maisey, his clerk, to attend at the bar, with reference to their con duct with regard to the signature to the petition of Barbara Robinson and others of Cheltenham, presented to the house on the 22d of May last, praying to bo heard by counsel against the bill. It has since been found that, as privileges of the house were concerned, it would be best that the subject should be considered by a select commit tee ; and he moved the appointment of such a committee, before which the parties should be examined. Lord BROUGHAM seconded the motion. He thought Mr. Boodle should also be required to attend. The motion was agreed to. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR resumed his seat at five o'clock. JURISDICTION IN HOMICIDES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and after certain amendments by Earl De Grey had been agreed to, the bill was reported accordingly. COMMUNICATION WITH BRITISH COLUMBIA. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE moved for copies of the correspondence which had taken place between the Secre tary of State for the Colonies, the Governments of Canada and British Columbia, and the Hudson's Bay Com pany, respecting the establishment of a means of communi • cation between Canada and British Columbia. The noble lord entered at some length into the desirability of establishing a safe and efficient communication to that distinct part of the world. He did not ask the noble duke to go to Parliament for a large grant of money for such a purpose, all he asked was that the recommendation of a committee of the House of Commons which had fully con sidered the subject should be carried into execution. The Earl of SELKIRK defended the Hudson's Bay Company against the observations of the noble earl. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that no imputation had been cast on the Hudson's Bay Company, but the discovery of gold had considerably altered the circumstances of the company, by inducing a considerable immigration into British Columbia. He believed that a time would come when communication across the continent would become ab solutely necessary ; and in proof of this he observed that during the recent apprehension of hostilities with the United States he was unable to send despatches to the Governor of British Columbia for six weeks for fear his despatches, if sent via Panama, might fall into unfriendly hands. As to the amount required by the Company for the surrender of all their rights, he believed that they were not inclined to take less than £1,500,000, a sum which he believed the Par liament of this country would never grant. The question was ono of great importance, and a settlement of it abso lutely necessary; but he had never been able to come to any satisfactory understanding with the Hudson's Bay Com pany. The correspondence moved for should be laid on the table, and ho hoped by next session to be able to in form the house that communication had been established between Canada on the one side and New Westminster on the other. Lord TAUN TON made a few remarks, suggesting that the Hudson's Bay Company would do wisely in not insist ing too strongly on their rights, but in trying to meet the wishes of the public. The subject then dropped. The other orders of the day wero then disposed of, and the house adjourned. Mr. Dawson were well worth consideration, and ho would bear them in mind. DUTY ON MALT. Mr. BALL called attention to " the continuous oppres sive duty on malt." He complained that an expectation had always been held out that this interest should have consideration, which it had never had, while the effect of the duty had been to limit consumption. The country had advanced in population and weath, and the consumption of other commodities had greatly increased, whereas that of malt had in 30 years increased only 5 per cent. The cause of this stagnation of consumption was the tax, which, he suggested, should be transferred from malt to beer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that when Mr, Ball said that no considerable increase had taken place in the consumption of malt he should recollect that this country had been consuming less strong liquors than formerly, and his complaigt that barley-growers were ground down by taxation was answered by the fact that the progress of the prices of barley had been much more marked than that of other grain. The alcohol in malt was less heavily taxed than that in spirits, and malt had cer tain advantages. He suggested objections against the pro posal to transfer the tax from malt to beer. The house then went into committee of supply, the CHAIRMAN immediately reporting progress; and thereupon returned into committee upon the THAMES EIVIBANKMENT BILL. Upon the 6th clause, the discussion of the previous night, embracing the whole scheme of the embankment, with all its incidents, was renewed, and continued for a considerable time. The clause was ultimately agreed to. Upon the next clause, Mr. LOCKE moved to omit the words, "subject to the limitations hereinafter contained," which involved the question of the 9th clause, providing that a footway only should be made between Whitehall-stairs and Westminster bridge—a clause which Mr. Locke proposed to omit. SirW. JOLLIFFE opposed this amendment, which was supported by Sir J. PAXTON. Lord PALMERSTON said he had given notice of an amendment of the 9th clause by inserting the words "until Parliament shall have otherwise provided," although his first impression was to move the omission of the 9th clause; but, considering the struggle made before the committee by private interests in favour of it, and the lateness of the session, to avoid the loss of the bill, he had proposed an amendment of the 9th clause that would give Parliament an opportunity hereafter of removing the restriction. He must, therefore, vote against Mr. Locke's amendment. Upon a division, however, that amendment was carried by 149 to 109. Clause 9 was thereupon negatived, Lord Palmerston having withdrawn the amendment of which he had given notice. The other clauses up to the 33d were agreed to. The CHAIRMAN was then ordered to report progress. The other orders were then gone through, and the re maining business having been disposed of, the house ad journed at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock.

There was some difficulty in getting the horses in a line, and after a short delay they got off on pretty even terms. The Cruiser filly, however, running wide on the near side of her horses, became unmanageable, and was out of the race when the lot came in sight at the top of the hill, the Miss Woolgar filly leading, when Spicebox, next the rails, waited upon by Dunoon, Misfire, and Spencer, got clear of the rest, and Captain Christie's horse went to the front, and maintained the lead until reaching the stand enclosure, where Misfire rushed to the front, and after a good race home the judge's fiat was in favour of Misfire by a neck ; a length separated the second and third ; Spencer finished a good fourth, Strike fifth, Don't Come Late, Peahen, and Rosabella next.

When the flag fell none of the competitors appeared anxious to go to the fron t. Caledon ultimately went to the fore, Montebello going on second, Vilette third, and East End last. Ascending the hill, the latter was lead ing-, but the favourite, on the summit being gained, went to the front, Caledon on the near side, and Vilette nearest the rails, being his companion to the finish.

At the bottom turn Montebello ran on the wrong side of the post, and was consequently disqualified ; Clement, however, came home with his horse, and after a magnificent strug gle all the way from the distance, Montebello and the Wizard, who was called upon a few strides from home, finished a dead heat; Vinegar Hill was beaten a long way.

ANOTHER DREADFUL COLLIERY ACCI- HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. THE MERSEY, IRWELL, &c., PROTECTION BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, which came from the House of Lords, Mr. WESTHEAD moved that the bill be read a second time this day three months. This bill was of a most ex ceptional character, and such was the nature of it that after it had passed a select committee of the Upper House their lordships referred it back to the whole house, in order that it might be discussed again clause by clause. The Lord Chancellor described the bill as an opprobrium on the legislation of the country, and be (Mr. Westhead) considered that although the measure purported to originate with the Mersey and Irwell River Navigation society, it in reality emanated from Lord Ellesmere, who was a large proprietor in the neighbourhood, and whose interests would be materially benefitted by the measure if it were passed. He denied that the bill would effect the object which it pre tended to promote, and, regarded in a sanitary point of view, it would impurify the river which it was said it would purify, and he made that statement on the opinion of competent chemical authorities. Mr. MASSEY said that the bill no doubt was one of a very extraordinary character, and it was difficult to dis cover whether it was in reality a public measure in the guise of a private, or whether the matter to which it re ferred was a subject for private legislation. If they as sented to the former their course would be to discharge the order for the second reading of the bill. He considered that, technically, the bill came to the house as a private bill ; and he thought the proper course would be to refer it to a select committee up stairs, who would be competent to deal with the whole subject. Mr. J. EWA ET considered legislation on this subject necessary, and supported the second reading of the bill. Mr. LAIRD opposed the bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the bill should be referred to a select committee, and, on legal grounds, objected to the measure. Viscount NEWPORT said that if the motion for the second reading went to a division he should feel bound to vote against it. Mr. JACKSON considered that private interests ought not to be permitted to interfere in a matter of such import ance as the present, for the commerce of the country must necessarily be affected by the state of the river Mersey. He would support the second reading of the bill; but if it were referred to a select committee ho would not object to some alterations being introduced. After some further discussion the house divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading 97 Against Majority The bill was accordingly read a second time MERCHANDISE MARKS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The bill passed through committee, and at 4 o'clock the sitting was suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed TURKISH LOAN. _ _ Mr. GRIFFITH asked what progress had been made by Lord Hobart and the Turkisk Loan Commission in extin guishing the paper money at Constantinople, by the appli cation of the capital of the loan to the purpose of paying it off ; and moved for copy of any correspondence that had taken place on the subject of the events occurring in Ser via, upon which he made comments. Mr. LAY ARD said it must be obvious that the Govern ment could not state from day to day the progress made in such a matter as the extinguishing of paper money in Turkey; and, as regarded the events in Servia, it was impossible to produce the correspondence while the trans actions were going on. The amendment was negatived. NAVAL COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. Sir J. HAY asked if it was the intention of the Admi ralty to make any increase in the pay and allowances to the Naval Commander-in-Chief in India, in consequence of the stoppage of the allowances hitherto paid as batta to the Naval Commander-in-Chief by the India Government ; and it any inconvenience had arisen in the selection of an officer for that command, in consequence of the reduction of pay. After some remarks by Sir M. SEYMOUR, _ - . Lord C. PAGET gave an explanatory reply to the first question ; and, as to the last, he observed that the command was not a very desirable one, and one or two officers had declined it on the score of health. THE DIPLOMATIC SER VICE. Mr. COCHRANE called attention to the report of the select committee on the Diplomatic Service, and asked the Government whether it was intended to carry out the re commendations of that committee, which he recapitulated, with observations, especially upon the inadequacy of the salaries and allowances of our Ambassadors and Ministers abroad. Mr. LAYA.RD said, as far as the Foreign-office was concerned, there was a disposition to carry out the recom mendations of the Committee. But it was entirely a matter of expense ; the Foreign-office did not hold the purse, and, in the present state of things, it was not thought advisable to ask the house to vote money for carrying out the whole of the recommendations. I le stated tho se which the Go vernment were prepared to car r y out ; and if, he said, it sho u ld be the wish of the house to increase the salaries in the diplomatic service, he should be very glad, but this was a question for the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the 11° c -so of Commons. conversation ensued, in which Mr. W. Williams, Mr. DO A- Air. S. Fitzgerald, Sir M. Farquhar, and Mr. J. white took part, and the subject then dropped. CAB AND OMNIBUS FARES. Mr. DA'W SON called the attention of the Secretary o f State for the R ome Department to the system of extol.- donate fares de manded by the drivers and conductors of public conveyanc es in the metropolis, and to the absence of any proper limitation of fares, in the present regulation of omn ibus traffic, which, he thought, should b e subject to revision by proper authorities. Sir G. WILY said some of the suggestion made la SIX MEN KILLED. Llanelly and its neighbourhood have been thrown into a state of grief and mourning in consequence of an accident at the Old Castle Colliery, by which six unfortunate men were hurried into eternity, and nearly 50 more had a very narrow escape of their lives. The Old Castle pit, which is worked by Messrs. Williams, Nevill, and Co., employs about 300 men and boys, but, fortunately, at the time when the fatal accident occurred there were only about 50 of them actually engaged in the minewe re these, six, the poor fellows who lost their lives, ed in working in the bottom vein, and Whilst and im cutting coal, they unfortunately struck i e n n t g o a a g n old working, in which water had accumulated, . portable within violence, carrying away everything mediately the aqueous element poured in with great The men who were employed, its reach, and immersing the unhappy miners be yond hope of escape. to the number of o ver 40, in a higher part of th e workings, heard t he rush of t he water and the g i v i ng wa y of woodwork, an d happily were enabl e d to make their es ca p e throug h a new work a dj o i n _ strongly the importanc e o ft; cP h , a t v h i u n s g l n u c s o t r n a n t e in c g tio v n er Nith mines a secon d shaft. y v The water has been rising ever since, and besides the heavy money loss which must accrue to the pro prietors the 300 men will have to remai n for a long time out of work.

Special tickets of admission to view the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich having been accorded to.the members of the Mechanical Engineers' Institution by the War Department, a large number, amount ing to 180 scientific gentlemen, subscribers to the institution, foreigners as well as English, yesterday took advantage of the privilege, a large proportion arriving at Woolwich early in the morning. Their principal object appeared to be to inspect the royal gun factories. Having visited the shell foundry and some other branches of the establishment, they proceeded to the museum and designing room be longing to the royal gun factories, where the entire party partook of refreshments at 1 o'clock, at the invitation of Mr. Anderson, the resident superin dent. Three hearty cheers and one more having been given for their considerate entertainer, they proceeded to the proof butt, and witnessed the proving of 10 110-pounder Armstrong guns, five 40-pounders, and one 12-pounder—the latter on a new principle, and ordered to be proved to destruc tion, according to the technical phrase—viz., to be fired until it should burst. This gun, mounted on a gun carriage, and loaded with 31b. of powder, and a cylinder weighing 1201 b., extending about 10 inches beyond the muzzle, was fired in one of the cells built for that express purpose. The gun was fired by electricity and some of the fusees failed to ignite. To break the recoil the platform rises to an acute elevation, at the summit of which, however, the gun was discovered, twisted off the traversing frame, and lodged in the sand of the butt. The call was hurriedly crowded by as mazy visitors as could gain admittance, who expected to find the fragments of the gun strewed about the spot. They could with difficulty persuade themselves that the gun was still whole. Every scratch was minutely inspected, and magnifying glasses were brought into requisition, each part was carefully and scientifically examined, and the gun pronounced intact. They then returned to the gun factories, and examined the forge and steam hammers, ranging from 15 to 35 cwt. each, the whole of which were in active use. Having witnessed the entire manufacture of the gun, they left Woolwich by the 4 15 train, to dine at the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. THE GRAND NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST. Nothing more favourable than the weather yes terday could be desired. The visitors were more numerous than on the first three days of the contest; gay and many coloured streamers for the first time floated from the summits of a hundred flag staffs, the red, white and blue—emblem of military and naval glory—showing itself in all directions, while the band of the London Scottish marched on to the ground at midday, filling the plains of Wimbledon with the echoes of that martial music which had before been wanting, and without the accompani ment of which no mimicry of war or military pa geant can be considered perfect. To-day the com missionaires' band will attend, and probably there will be a second band on the ground. And indepen dently of this, the competition to-day will be of a more exciting character than anything which has preceded it. The firing was resumed yesterday at half-past nine for the Queen's Prize, at 600 yards, the Association Cup, the All Corners, and the extra prizes, and was carried on with unabated vigour throughout the day. Some good scores were made, and among these was that of Major Moir, 12th Stirling, who in the contest for the Association Cup beat the score made by Captain Heaton, of the h 3d Manchester, of whom we yesterday ma de S uch honourable mention. At the ranges o f 200, 50 0, c 600 yards, Captain Heaton made up a total score of 54 points and hits, no more than 60 e r i s e g o r w o possible, uld and odds were freely offered that thevi?se:y esterday not be exceeded. Major Moir , hgwCaptain Heaton attained a score of 55, thus beaitizin himself be beaten by one point. Whether he w r e was made up of f o e BO remains to be seen. two centres at 200 yards; and i re at 500 yards ; and three three bull's eyes thus four bull's eyes and a on two centres at 600 yards eaton's bull's eyes and dl5 hits. Captain points an f three bull's eyes and two making 40 score was made ' I P ° 20 0 yards; two bull' s centres a teyes, two centres, and one outer at yards and fi ve b u ll' s eyes a t 600 yards ; thus makin g 39 po i n t s and 15 hits. Both of these gentlemen used a n eor y's rifle. So far this is the best shooting of the contest, and doubtless Major Moir congratu lated himself upon his chance of carrying off the cup value ; but a little later in the day he in turn was put out of the field by a Mr. Smith, about whose particular corps there is some doubt, who made up a score of 56. The grievance of the rejected rifles was again discussed upon the ground yesterday, and, if pos sible, with additional acrimony upon the part of those who are disqualified by the decision of the council, and who consider themselves in the light of so many injured individuals. Merely premising, for the information of readers who may have over looked our remarks yesterday, that some 40 compe titors for Queen's and other prizes were on Thurs day pronounced to be disqualified for further com petition, upon the ground that their rifles were too small in bore to take the plug applied to Govern ment Enfields, we may say that General Hay, In spector-General at Ilythe, and as the umpire with whom the final decision re mained, decided peremptorily that rifles which did not receive the plug—whether issued by the Ge' vernment or by private makers—should be rejected ; thus upholding , an d even exceeding the decision of the council. Naturally this decision failed to re concile the disqualified competitors to their fate ; and one ventured, to ask General Hay whether it 200 yds. 500 Walton, • 17th West York Dongan, 2Gth Lanca shire Pixley, Ist Middlesex 9 5 Wyatt, Ist City of London 9 5 Williams, 19th Mid- dlesex 9 5 Smith Ist Middlesex Engineers 9 5 Anderson, 22nd Mid- dlesex 9 5 Edwards, 6th Stafford 10 6 Porter, 22d Middle sex French, Ist Warwick 9 5 Dines, 28th Middlesex 8 5 Sprott, sth Lancashire 11 5 A.
