ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA; 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 ifypochrondriasis. 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 Spermatorrheea 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.

THE NEW ATLANTIC TELEGB.4.PH. „,_ At last the long pending question as to the pro bability of telegraphic communication being established between this country and America seems in a fair way of being settled. While the old .Atiantic Telegraph Company has been wasting the moriepof the shareholders and seeking preposterous Conditions from the Government, to guarantee them from the evils of their own scientific mis management, a new- company has been quietly formed - under : the -.best auspices, and, without troubling the Government about subsidies, .or anything else, have carefully matured their plans with such foresight and deliberation as to lead the electrical world to look fox ward confidently to a successful solution of this great. submarine 'enter prise. The British Transatlantic Telegraph 'Com pany propose, within this year if possible, to lay their cable from the Land's-end, in Cornwall, to Blanc Sablon, an island in the Straits of Belle Isle, at one of the entrances of the Gulf of St. Law rence, and a little.to the north of Newfoundland. A short wire, to be laid by a separate company, takes. the cable in from 'Blanc Sablon to the Island of Anticosti, where it meets lines already open com municating with Quebec, Montreal, and, indeed, all parts of Canada. Another short line from Anticosti will be submerged to Cape Breton, where it will join the network of lines which communicate with Hali fax, Nova Stotia, Boston, New York, &c. The advan tages which such a route presents over one starting from the west coast of Ireland are immense, both in point of economy and freedom from the submarine dangers which beset- the track frein Valentia to Newfoundland. In the first place, the average depth of the entire route is supposed'to be less, while by starting from Land's-end the steep range of subma rine mountains on the west coast of Ireland, on which the Atlantic telegraph was so carelessly lost, is entirely avoided. On the Atlantic side, the lines . ' not being hamperedwith such preposterousconditions for messages as those which would check their trans mission over Newfoundland, the tariff for their re transmission would be less than one-half of what would be charged if sent by the American Company ' from St. John's, while the line, being all submerged, is of course less exposed to injury than in crossing the almost unexplored wilds of Newfoundland. On this side of the water the advantages of having the terminus at Land'S-end are almost greater. The increased distance is very little over 150 miles ; but a message arriving at Land's-end is transmitted direct to its destination at a small cost, while the cost from Valentia is much greater, and the message itself has to be re transmitted always four times, and sometimes oftener. If it merely avoided the necessity of mes sages cominc , from America to London being first known at'llverpool, where by the Irish route they must be transmitted, the gain to merchants by a Land's-end terminus would be most important. From the hour that the scheme for spannine. the Atlantic with a telegraph wire was first mooted we have again and again advocated, in the strongest terms, the necessity for using a light cable, and, above all, for doing away with the outer covering of spiral wire. How the old Atlantic Company pro. ceeded all the world n ow knows. They math- a cable which it was publicly known could not answer its purpose, and, as if to take away even the theoretical chances of its success, the two halves, by the neglect of their engineer, were spirally coated with wire, with the twist of each coil running in a different direction. These wires, which were really only additional weight, were supposed to give.strength, mad necessitated the costly and destructive appara.• tus of paying out machines, which were designed by Sir C. Bright, and which, under that engineer's management, eventually proved the ruin of the whole plan. However, we must do the old company the justice to say that, ha"ing now lost all their money, they at last see their error, and that there is as little chance of another wire-covered rope going to sea under their auspices as there is of its submergence being again entrusted to any but regu lar contractors. The British Transatlantic Tele graph Company propose to use a cable of the very tightest description. Its lightness, in fact, is made its strength, and the outer covering of wire is en tirely done away with.' The conductor is to he com posed of seven copper wires having about twice the sectional area of that used by the old Atlantic Company. It will be coated with a combination of gutta percha, with manifold insulators, the outer portion being wound round with a textile fabric in a peculiar manner, so as to perfect and strengthen the rope and its insulation to the utmost. The outer covering of all will be hemp, interwoven longitudi nally, so as to be without either turn or stretch. This outer covering before being used will no doubt be passed through a solution of either indiarubber or gutta percha ; the rope afterwards being com pressed under a steel die will insure a uniform gauge and the solution penetrating to the very utmost. The diameter of the gutta percha insulator will be , about double that used in the rope of the old com pany, and the diameter of the whole cable about two-thirds of an inch. The weight is less than 8 cwt. per mile, the breaking strain about two tons, or equal to supporting nearly six miles of its own weight in air, and no less than 25 miles of its own weight in sea water. The cost of the whole cable will be about half of that which was lately lost by the old company. The cable is to be contracted for under a special arrangement which guarantees the shareholders against any risk of loss. The contract will not be at so much per mile, but for a certain sum under £350,000 the contractors undertake to make tho wire, insrse it, submerge it, and deliver it over to the company in working order. During the time of its manufacture the company are to advance certain sums to the contractors not exceed ing in all 50 per cent. of the entire contract price. For these advances, which bear interest to the com pany at the rate of 5 per cent. till the completion of the contract, security is given by the contractors, who, in case of the failure of the cable, are bound to repay them within a certain time. When the cable is completed and shipped the contractors are further bound to insure it, and deliver the policy to the company as a collateral security. Only when the cable is laid in working order, and pos session formally given to the company, will the contractors become entitled to receive the money for it. It is not often that shareholders meet with. such a favourable arrangement, or one which so completely guarantees them against loss of any kind, and, of course, it is owing to this that a large portion of the capital has already been subscribed for. In order to prevent the overcrowding of messages the tariff of charges will be arranged according to three scales —viz., one for ordinary messages, one for express messages, and one for special messages. The prices of these, it is sup posed, will be £l, £5, and £lO respectively. No ordinary message will be sent while an express message is on the list, and no express message will be despatched while a special message is on the list, a regular printed return of the number (if any) of both being kept at the station for the informa tion of all persons wishing to send messages. By means of such a tariff each message will be trans mitted, according to the scale which the sender thinks its interest or importance to himself re quires. Any chance, also, of the wire being two or three days in arrear of its business will be entirely obviated. Altogether, the whole scheme of the British Transatlantic Company bas apparently been well. and carefully planned, and with the advantages which it possesses and the facilities which it offers we have little doubt that it will surmount in the most satisfactory manner the few difficulties that yet remain in the way of elec trical communication between the New World and I the Old. Last week the births of 834 boys and the same number of girls, in all 1,668 children, were regis tered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58, the average number was 1,533. THE TOBERMORI SEQUESTRATION CASE. On Friday judgment was given by the Second Division of the Court of Session (Scotland), in the case of " Gill v. Joel," on the question of jurisdic tion in the matter of the sequestration of 'William Gill, who, being an Englishman and his creditors all in England, claimed the jurisdiction of .the Scotch courts after 40 days' residence in the island of Mull. The sequestration was duly effected under the Act 19th and 20th Victoria, cap. 79, but me of his creditors, Mr. Joel, subsequently peti lolled the Court of Session to recal the sequestra ion granted in the Sheriff Court, and Lord Ordi- Kinloch last session issued an interlocutor sustaining the petition and recalling the sequestra tion. The case was taken by reclaiming note to the Second Division, and on Friday their lordship's reversed Lord Kinloch's decision, on the grounds" stated by the Lord Justice Cleric in delivering - the: unanimous judgment of the Court, which was limited to the question of jurisdiction. The Lord Justice Clerk said,--The Court hold that the question for them to determine is whether this case falls within the statute, and if such be the case that they are bound to ad minister the law in disregard of all considerations of alleged equity or expediency. The bankrupt in the present case is not a trader. He is an English man and an English barrister. All his creditors, with one exception, are in England. His sole con nexion with Scotland is a residence for 40 days continuously at Tobermory, in the Island of Mull, previous to the date of presenting his petition ; and. he admits that this residence was assumed for the expreis purpose of qualifying him for sequestration. It may seem, on general principles, very startling and inexpedient that an insolvent person should be entitled to make choice of a country for sequestra tion, and thus alter the rights of his creditors and obtain immunities for himself. The Court must, however, decide the case according to the statute, no matter whether or not such a decision is in opposition to the principles of international juris prudence. A decision if opposed to these principles would not receive effect in foreign countries but must receive effect in England, as it proceeds upon a statute of the Imperial Parliament. The only question is what, in the sense of the Act, renders a person subject to the jurisdiction of the supreme courts. According to the former principles of hatkruptcy law, sequestration was confined to traders. The great peculiarity of the statute pre sently in force is that it extends sequestration to all parties who are debtors, without reference to their being traders. It must, therefore, be construed with regard to this fundamental alteration on the law—its professed object. To satisfy the require ments of the clause of the Act it neems to me to be sufficient if the debtor be at the time of presenting his petition subject to the jurisdiction. The foun dations of general jurisdiction are domicile in refer ence to jurisdictiop in personam, and property in reference to jurisdiction in rem. The bankrupt here having no property, the only question is— Was he subject to the jurisdiction of the 40 is t ct days' cording to the law of all countries founds jurisdiction, it is for each country to fix by its i su l p e rem g e ene e r o a rt p s rin of cipl S e co b tla in n g d t r h a a tz t on r e esi do de ? n n c w e i:li a i c ? - fi r x es e i d den o c n e continuous residence at one place as being sufficient to found jurisdiction ratione dotnicilii.

Every tender must be addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, and bear in the left-hand corner the words " Ten der for Wheat," and must also be delivered at Somerset house. LORD .211,4L3IBSBURY AND AUSTRIA. (From the Times.) We recognise to its fullest extent the force of the verdict which has just been pronounced by the Lower House of the Leoislature. Beyond all doubt, any such decision is sufficient to overturn any Go vernment, to substitute one set of Ministers for another, to banish one political party from power, and to set up another in its place ; but it does not deprive the Queen of her legitimate prerogative. According to the Constitution of England the Queen has as much right to confer titles and dignities of honour upon whom she may choose as the House of Commons has a right to say that this or that poli tical party must be removed from office because they have ceased to enjoy the confidence, or rather have been unable to obtain the confidence, of the representatives of the people. The Sovereign may exercise her prerogative unwisely, but that is quite another question, subject to fair argument, and to the reasonable comments which any public act per formed by the Queen may naturally call forth. Now, it seems that at the present time, just as the Derby Ministry are about to vacate their offices, it has been resolved that the Garter shall be bestcwed upon Lord Derby himself, and that the honour of G.C.B. shalt be conferred upon Lord Maltnesbury and Sir John Pakington. This decision has given rise to a certain amount of discontent among the more intense Liberals, but we really think this discontent unfounded. The courtesies of political life and the exigencies of the public service are quite in accordance upon this point. A public career must have its prizes, or the nation will be the worse served; and these prizes must not be confined to the barren tenure of office for a few years or months, if we would secure the services of our highest nobles and most opulent gentlemen. To such persons the not very generous stipend which we assign to our ministers of State can con stitute no inducement for taking upon themselves the cares and anxieties of the great Parliamentary struggle. We cannot turn them all into Peers at the termination of their tenure of office, for many of them are Veers already, and to others the dis tinction of the Peerage may be too great a reward. Is it not a fortunate thing, then, that it should be in the power of the Sovereign to confer upon them certain honorary distinctions on which they set a great value, but which can have no influence upon the course f subsequent political events, and which cost the nation not one shilling ? If there are any persons who believe that to the country it would be a matter orindifference that the richest and most influential persons in private life should keep aloof from a public career because it could hold forth no glittering inducements in aid of their patriotism, from that opinion we would very respectfully dis sent. The history of pre-revolutionary France and the actual history of the United States may furnish us with illustrations of the dangers which arise from keeping in political obscurity those men who in the absence of Heaven-born statesmen are the natural leaders of a country. England must break with all her traditions before we can arrive at such a conclusion as this. Why, then, should not the Sovereign confer the honour of the Garter upon Vie Earl of Derby ? Certainly, it is no business of ours to compose the eulogy, or rather to write the honorary epitaph, of a Minister whose public acts we have felt it our duty so earnestly to oppose upon many occa sions. It is not, however, to be denied that Lord Derby is the leader of one of the great political parties of the country. More than once, and during very momentous times, he has been the chief director of our public affairs. Even now and for some sixteen months he has been—we speak of subjects—the principal person in the State. With reference to the point of which we are speaking we do not care to criticise his acts. It is sufficient to state that he enjoyed the confidence of his Sovereign, that he commanded a majority in the House of Lords, and that if he has at last been ousted from power by a majority of the House of Commons, that _majority has been a narrow one. Surely sueh a man, according to the honorary distinct "on it may please his cnstorns of England, is which entitled to any mere b said .that at he has Lord Derby it must . e high . Sovereign to confer upon him. In justice to His lineage and his not been grasping.him, indeed, .have removed him, indeed, eies o . f vulgar ambition ; but it p fr r n i n n i ce t ly he f a o p rt p u e n te e n detract somewhat from his . _ u themselves for should be remembered that, i d f is t i h n e te s r e e c s o te n d s n id e e s r s a , considerations also constitute express claims i Accordi n e, to custom, this lion Royal such a n h onorar y distinction honour i t a he eon G f a e r ri t . e e r ei upon the' members of our own Family, upon t p oiiiieland. foreign No n Sovereigns,latter what the upon the o h i. l„( a rh w n a o r b ri l o e r s of high unless r a h n e k h i a n d or the counsels of a statesman may have been, anybody venture Ptoeesraay"teh,Will invest him with the symbols of this dignity. the e lherited or had .won his way to a is not found such an union of high position and a it t i h n asno Lordt been Der b u y s u t a h l e to great ability displayed in the public service as entitles him to be enrolled among the Knights of the Garter? Had he been a greater and more pru dent statesman he might have remained Premier of ' England ; but surely he has done enough to earn this distinction if he desires to possess it. The fact that Lord Derby is now a Knight of the Garter can have no effect upPn the public servi He has received his reward—the very reward which he had selected for himself. No man can know better • than Lord Derby the value of the services which he has rendered to the State. He vas a great ornament to the House of Commons he is a great ornament to the House of Lords. The reward which he has coveted and which he has obtained is—an ornament. Can anything more be said? As to the distinctions about to be conferred upon Lord Malmesbury and Sir John Pakington the case is not quite so clear. Thus much, however, is certain—that the honour about to be bestowed upon them has lost much of its claim upon public respect since the abuse of it at the conelusion of the Crimean war. Lord Malmesbury may have been the dupe of French Diplomacy; Sir John Pakington may never have soared above the regions of com monplace ; but surely they are as meritorious public servants as the Chelsea warriors Who were honoured with the distinction of the Bath ! It will surprise many that Sir John Pakington, occupying as he does the respectable - position of an English country gentleman, should have desired so unsuitable a mark of his Sovereign's favour. But, after all, he knows best. If he is willing to confront the little ridicule of the matter, why should we be wiser for him than he is for himself? The transactions at Dover are so fresh in the public recollection that Sir John Pakington must make up his mind to wear his blushing riband with corresponding 'embarrass ment in his ingenuous countenance. After a time the riband will remain and Dover be forgotten, and then it will be well with the new G.C.B. Lord Malmesbury can scarcely 131; said to have obtained any social advancement—political,._ady,ancenaeni of course, out of the question—by his acceptance of this somewhat questionable distinction. Yet why should we grudge it him ? If he has done nothin g great, he has obtained nothing great. Some of the . arguments which applied in Lord Derby's case will apply also in the case of Lord Malmesbury, although, of course, in a far lesser degree. If the Queen is pleased to bestow such a mark of distinc tion upon a nobleman who has served the State somehow or other for sixteen months, why make a fuss about such a trifle ? LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP HERON. We have been favoured by the Secretary of the Admiralty with the following report of this unfor tunate occurrence : . " REPORT OF MR. R. MINDRY, GUNNER. "COPY.) " H.M.S. Victory, Portsmouth, June 10. " Sir,—Being the only surviving officer from the wreck of her Majesty's brig Heron, I have the himour to report, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, my proceedings immediately before the wreck, and until my arrival. on board this ship. " On Sunday, the Bth May, I had the first watch (from - 8 to 12 p.m.) At' nine o'clock ;the captain left his order-book. with me ; it ran as folloWs ' Course' N.E. by 'N.' Shorten sail on 'any ap pearance, of a squall, and oall me.' At midnight I was relieved by Lieut. Porter, of the Trident, who was taking passage and doing duty. The ship at the time was under topgallant sails, single-reefed topsail's; courses, boom mainsail and jibs ; going 1.8 ; a fine starlight night. • "At five. the following morning, of the 9th, I was thrown Out of my bed against the main ladder. I rushed on deck, caught a rope, which had fallen to Leeward, and succeeded in getting on the ship's bottom, where I found a number of men. I imme diately called for a knife, when Samuel Handsford, captain forecastle, cut away the foremast fall of the weather whale, boat. The ship then sunk, leaving the boat afloat, the after-fall having been cut or separated, but not known by whom. Twenty.three men and myself got into the whale boat. After being in the boat about four minutes I saw a White speck on the water making towards us. I then gatelarders to keep every one off the boat, as she was already overcrowded. When the white speck was within a few feet of the boat I found by the voice that it was the captain, and instantly took him in ; the weather at this time was very dark, and raining heavily. " The captain was so much exhausted that I kept charge of the boat for about 40 minutes, when he, being partially recovered, and his wounds bound up, took charge. " When daylight appeared we found the boat's crutches, and commenced pulling, keeping head to sea. After about an hour John Waldren, ordinary, said he saw a sail ahead, which was not visible to any one else, but we all saw her about a quarter of an hour afterwards, and reached her at 2 p m. We were then taken on board the Irlam, a bark of Liver pool, from Calabar to Sierra Leone, where we arrived at noon on the 16th. Capt. Truscott went on hoard her Majesty's ship' Trident and reported himself ; the Trident's cutter then took us out of the barque. " On the 19th May we went on board the Ethiope, African mail steamer, for passage to Liverpool. " On the 29th May James Kettle, private. Royal Marines, died; on the 30th Mr. George Haydon, boatswain, died ; and on the 3d of June Capt. Trus cott died—all of whom were buried at sea. "We arrived at Liverpool at 6 p.m., yesterday, the 9th, when Commander Goldfinch forwarded us on by rail to this ship.

" Admiral WM. BOWLES, C. 8., Bze., " Commander-in-Chief." THE TWO NEW NARSIIALS. (Fro;n Galignani's Messenger.) The following are some particulars of the military career of the two new Marshals of France : " Count de M'Mahon (Marie Patrice Maurice) was born about 1807, at the chateau of Sully, in the arrondissemont of Autun. He is descended from an Irish family, which, after living with distinction for many centuries in Ireland, risked all for the last of the Stuart Kings. The M'Mahons, carrying their national traditions and historic name to France, mingled their blood by marriage with the old nobility of their adopted country, and obtained with the hand of an heiress the magnificent castle and extensive estates of Sully. The present Gene ral's father, the Count de M`Mahon, who was an officer of high rank, a peer of France, a Grand Cross of the Order of St. Louis, and a personal friend of Charles X., espoused a lady of . the ducal house of Caraman, and left four sons and four daughters. Of that numerous family the youngest is the hero of Malakoff and Magenta. He was educated partly at his father's, and partly at the seminary for young men destined for the priesthood in that city. He afterwards entered the military school at St. Cyr, on leaving which, in 1825, he entered the French military service, and in 1830 joined the army of Algeria, where he soon distinguished himself alike by his gallantry and intelligence. After the com• bat of the Col de Terchia, in which he was the aide-de-camp to General Archard, the latter said to him, Can you carry to Col. Rullieres, at Bfidah, the order to change his march ? As the mission is dangerous, I will give you a squadron of light dragoons as an escort.' The young officer refused the escort, declaring that it was either too little or too much, and preferred going alone. On arriving at about half a mile from Blidah he saw groups of the enemy's horsemen on each side, as well as behind him ; but he went firmly on, knowing that a deep precipice, called the ravine of Blidah, was a little way in front of him. He there drove his horse, a high-blooded animal, at the tremendous chasm, and the animal, without hesitation, sprang into mid air. The rider held his seat immovably and escaped unhurt, but was obliged to abandon his charger, which had its forelegs broken. Not one of the Arabs ventured to take the desperate leap, and the young officer reached Blidah in safety. He rose rapidly through the different grades, and attained that of General of Brigade in 1848. For a time he occupied the position of Governor of the province of Oran, and afterwards of Constantina, and in 1852 became General of Div ision. In 1855, when General Canrobert left the Crimea, General M'Mahon was selected by the Emperor to succeed him in the command of a division, and when the chiefs of the allied armies resolved on assaulting Sebastopol lie had assigned to him the honourable and perilous post -of carrying the works of the Malakoff. The manner in which he performed that duty is too fresh in the memory of our readers to need mention, and his able conduct at the battle of Magenta has now raised him to the highest rank in the army. The Marshal married in 1954 Made moiselle Elizabeth de Castries, daughter of the Marquis de Castries, and has by her a son born in 1855." The following details relate to his companion in arms : " Count Regnault de Saint Jean d'Angely, com manding in chief the Imperial Guard, is the son of a distinguished officer of the First Empire. H e commenced his military career under that Empire as sub-lieutenant of the Bth Regiment of Hussars. In that regiment he made the campaign of Russia, and was at the battle of Leipzig. Both in the re treat from Russia and in the battle his regiment suffered severely, and it was by a sort of miracle that he escaped. In 1814 he was attached to the Imperial staff, and was made a captain by the Em peror, for having distinguished himself in presence of his Majesty before Rheims. On the return of Napoleon from the Isle of Elba he was nominated one of his Majesty's orderly officers, and he dis played such marked bravery at the battle of Waterloo that he was made a Chef cliEscadron on the field. After the downfall of Napoleon he was struck out of the army list, but he joined Colonel Fabvier in his expedition to Greece. In 1830 he was restored to his grade of Chef d'Esca dron, and was in 1832 appointed colonel of the Ist Regiment of Lancers. In 1840 he was made major general, and in 1848 general of division. In the revolution of 1848 he commanded a brigade of cavalry, and Marshal Bugeaud declared of him that he stood by the King to the last. In 1849 he com manded the troops forming the expedition to Rome. Having been elected deputy of the Cha rente-Inferieure, he joined the party of the Emperor. In 1851 he was for a short time Minister of War. THE NAVY. Letters received at Plymouth, written from the screw steamship Orion, 91; Capt.

General Gerard Gosselin died on Saturday last at his seat in Kent, at the advanced age of 90 years, having survived the death of his venerable brother, Admiral Thomas Le Marchant Gosselin, about two years, the gallant admiral having died at a great age. The late general was one of the senior generals on the army list. He entered the army so far back as November, 1780.

On board the Forth, from July 31, 1813, to September 29, 1815, he was most actively employed, and was on the staff of the Anglo-Russian force forming the siege of Bathz.

LEEDS, June 14.—The woollen cloth market to-day has been of a rather quiet character, as is usual at the Whitsuntide holidays, wh en pleasure rather than business is the order of the day. The tone of the market was tolerably firm, but only a small amount of business was done. Wools are hardening rather, though no positive advance in quotations can be given. The new clip of English wool is realizing good prices. At Doncaster, on Saturday, when the first wool market for the season was held, 300 sheets were exhibited, and the whole were sold. All hog wool fetched 20s. per 1411 b., and other sorts 17s. 6d. to 18s.
