ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIHEA; 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 infbrms us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other 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 Spermatorrliwa 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 deaths in London rose to 1,569 in the weac that ended January 25 ; they have since fallen con tinuously, and in the week that ended last Saturday they were 1,345. If the average rate of mortality, as derived from the returns of corresponding weeks in ten years-1852-61—had ruled, the deaths in the present return would have been 1,37 t. The aetuat result, therefore, does not differ materially from that obtained by calculation for the second week of February. Typhus was more fatal last week than any other zymotic disease, for the deaths of 76 persons were referred to it, while those from scarlatina, which was next in order of mortality, did not exceed 50. Those from whooping-cough were 49; from croup, 20 ; from diphtheria, 16 ; from measles, 13 ; from smallpox, 5. Six of the deaths from typhus occurred in the Lambeth workhouse. The total number, 76, returned thus :—Typhus, 32; typhoid fever, 22; low fever, 5 ; infantile fever, 2; continued fever, 2 ; gastric fever, 2 ; brain fever, 1 ; " fever," 10. Twenty occurred under 10 years of age, 19 at ages not less than 10 years and under 40, 23 at 40-60 years, and 11 at 60 years of age and upwards. Bronchitis carried off 162 persons in the week, while the corrected average is 174 ; pneumonia 70, the average being 95 ; phthisis, 151, against 166. Eleven deaths from typhus, one from puerperal fever, and one from pneumonia occurred in the the London fever Hospital, Islington. One of the victims was a nurse in the establishment. A child died at 3, Walberg-place, St. George-in-the-East, and a widow at 7, Anthony-street, in the same dis trict, whose deaths are reported to have been " ac celerated by privations." Last week the births of 1,018 boys and 948 girls, in all 1,966 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852.61 the average number (corrected) was 1,945. At the Royal Observatory,. Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.05 in. The reading at the beginning of the week was 30.50 in., and it fell to 29.88 in. on Wednesday. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on the 7th inst., and continued above it till Wednesday the 12th. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 36.2 deg., which is 2.2 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The lowest temperature was 25.7 deg. on Sunday the 9th ; the highest day temperature occurred on Wednesday, and was 44.5 deg. The range of the thermometer in the week was, there fore, 18.8 deg. The mean daily range was 10.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point tem perature and air temperature was 4.1 deg. The mean degreo of humidity was 87, complete satura tion being represented by 100. On Tuesday the humidity was 96. The wind was generally in the north-west on the first four days, afterwards in the north-east till Saturday afternoon, when it blew from the south-east. The rain measured was only three hundredths of an inch. Sleet fell on the morn ing of Sunday. On Thursday the caange of tem perature during the day and night was very small, which was also the case on Friday. The mean of the - highest temperatures of the Thames was 43.2 deg. ; that of the lowest was 40.8 deg: SHIPWRECKED MARINERS' SOCIETY: The Rev. R. H. Baynes, M.A., incumbent of St. Paul's, Dock-street, Whitechapel, and chaplain of the Sailors' Home, delivered a lecture on Monday evening, in the new Vestry Hall of St. George in the East, on the subject of " Shipping and Ship wrecks," the proceeds being intended to be devoted to the funds of the above truly excellent society. The audience, we regret to add, was only a scanty one, and we fear the funds of the society will not be augmented to any considerable extent by the evening's proceedings. Captain the Hon. Francis Maude, R.N., (vice president of the society) occupied the chair. The rev. lecturer in an exceedingly graphic man ner dwelt upon the part which-shipping and sailors play in contributing to the comfort and happiness of humanity and to the prosperity and greatness of this country ; and he deduced from those facts the strength of the claim they have upon public sym pathy, and to assistance in the sufferings and distresses which are inevitable conditions of their mode of employment. He referred to the sufferings attendant upon shipwreck, in illustration of which he dwelt upon the loss of the Kent, the Birkenhead, the Royal Charter, and upon the calamities attend ant on the more recent storm off Scarborough, when Lord C. Beauclerk lost his life. Referring to the various modes adopted for the preservation of human life when imperilled by the dangers of the deep, Mr. Baynes mentioned the gratifying fact that there are now 141 lifeboats stationed along the coast of the United Kingdom, 70 of which are maintained by that admirable society, the National Lifeboat Institution ; and that by their means 399 lives were saved during the year just passed. Another of the means of safety in regular use was the rocket and mortar apparatus which saved life in 243 separate cases during the same year. But there are times when neither of these means of succour is available—when the lifeboat cannot get off the coast to succour those in peril ; and when the distressed seamen (as often happens in the case of coasting vessels) cannot avail them selves of the rope thrown by the rocket or mortar. To meet these cases, the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society offered a prize of £5O to the inventor of the best, simplest, and least expensive mode of efiecting a communication with a lee shore from a ship in danger. The desideratum was supplied by Lieut. Nare's Life Kite, which was at once simple in use, quite inexpensive, and simply stowed away. Lieut. Nare, to his honour, declined to accept the reward, and freely offered his invention for the benefit of seamen generally. The uses of the in vention were described by Mr. F. Lean, the secre tary of the society, who strongly recommended it to the notice of all shipowners and masters. The rev. lecturer then concluded his address by again. dwelling upon the claims of the society on whose behalf they had met that evening, and on the great advantages which the small half-yearly sub., scriptions of three shillings secured to the wives and families of seamen, of which advantages he stated that 50,000 seamen had already availed themselves. A vote of thanks was passed to the rev. gentle man for his admirable lecture, and a similar com pliment haiing been paid to the chairman, the pro ceedings closed with the Doxology. The Shipwrecked Mariners' Society is supporte d entirely by voluntary contributions, and relieves all shipwrecked persons of all nations cast upon any part of the United Kingdom, and also the widows and orphans of shipwrecked fishermen and mari ners. During the year 1861, the number of ship. Iwrecked persons relieved was 7,647, and of widows orphans, and aged parents of the shipwrecked 3,774 ; or a total in one year of 11,421. Since the formation of the society in 1839, no less than 109,955 per sons have been relieved. These figures speak trumpet•tongued of the claims of the society on the aid of the benevolent, and though the lecture may not be immediately productive of benefit to the funds of the society, we trust that the result of thus introducing it to the notice of the east end of Lon don will be a great accession of subscribers from a locality which more than any other in the metro polis is connected with shipping and directly bene fitted by seafaring persons. SINGAPORE AND RANGOON ELECTRIC CABLE.• A project for connecting Singapore with Rangoon and b e en entrusted to Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and the Indian lines, and eventually extending to Australia and China, is now being promoted, and the desirability of granting a Government subsidy of £30,000 per annum will be discussed in Parliament in a few days. When the Dutch Government agreed to lay a cable from Singapore to Batavia, it was on the u nderstanding, in fact, a promise, made by the Derby Government, that Singapore should be connected with the Indian lines.

It has also granted re wards amounting to £515 10s. for saving 373 shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak ing a total of 871 persons saved from a watery grave during the last two years. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is upwards of 12,200; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 704 Silver Medals, and £15,250 in cash have been aranted as rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £57,200 on Life-boat Establishments. The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts now being made by the Society to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions Ihe Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

A great meeting of the inhabitants of Southamp ton was held at the Carlton-hall, on Tuesday even ing, the 4th inst., at which Mr. Digby Seymour, after having addressed the audience at great length upon topics of public interest, proceeded as fol lows : " Gentlemen,—l have dwelt upon public political topics—l have dwelt upon important local questions —I am, by the cruel artifice of a dastard assailants invited to dwell upon personal topics. Gentlemen, I thought that when a man had honestly performed his public duties—l thoughtwhen a man in his public relation to a borough like this had shown honesty of purpose and consistency of principle—l thought that such a firm and faithful discharge of public duty would, among a constituency like this, shield him from the poisoned weapons of the anony mous libeller. (Loud applause.) Gentlemen, when I came down from London to-night, it was not my intention to enter upon matters of personal concern, and I'll tell you simply why. I was quite aware you all knew that after my enemies in Southamp ton had, by secret opposition and by venemous character, slander, d n eff dune effort their rthad worst t o o damage my political e made elsewhere—l don't know whence the stimulus was received—but that a deadly attempt had been made to stab my professional reputation, and to vilify my personal honour. But, gentlemen, I thought if I went down to Southampton and stood before my constituents— I thought if I said to them, ' I still am here before you the member of an honourable profession—l still hold upon my shoulders the rob of rank which Lord Chancellor Campbell gave me'—l thought that that fact was in itself sufficient to cope with ten thou sand slanders, and to save me from the dastardly efforts of masked calumniators. (Loud applause.) Now, gentlemen, I hold in my hand a bill which has been posted throughout the town, and freely circulated in this hall. It is addressed to the electors and non-electors of Southampton,' and is signed ' A Disappointed Elector.' (Loud laughter.) Well, I am sure he is what he describes himself. (Hear, hear, and renewed laughter.) I am sure of that from the tone and object of this bill, and the spiteful paltry animosity it indicates. (Hear, hear.) I am sure he is ' disappointed' that the man who has worked hard for the laurels he has earned has not been struck down by the blows that have been levelled against him. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Gentlemen, —I should like to see the " Disap pointed Elector.' (Tremendous cheering and cries of Bravo !) If the ' Disappointed Elector' is here, I challenge him to confront me—(renewed cheering) —if the 'Disappointed Elector' is not here, I brand him as a villain and a slanderer. (Renewed and protracted applause ) But you are here, gentlemen, and you have all read the questions put to me by this Disappointed Elector.' I have been asked whether certain charges were not made against me affecting my honour as a gentleman and as a professional man—whether those charges were not such as had they been proved would have insured my being disbarred—whether the result was com municated to me in writing—and whether as affect ing the honour of a gentleman representing the town and county of Southampton, I am prepared to give a copy of the decision to the constituency, or to publish it in some manner calculated to allow everyone connected with the town to see it. Now, I answer to the questions of my anonymous inter rogator, that the printed evidence of everything which took place during an eight months' investi gation with closed doors is open for his inspection, or for the gratification of his curiosity—at any hour or place he chooses to appoint. (Loud and pro tracted applause.) But I will also say this, that if he expects me on this platform to-night to endeavour in the compass of a few minutes to go over that which occupied so long a time—to parade before you, who could not without a full hearing, and without due consideration, judge of their merits, the details of this protracted inquiry—and to ask you to sit as a court of appeal uponithe judges who were appointed to conduct it, then I say I have not come to Southampton to submit to such conditions. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now been nearly 16 years at the bar. I never won a laurel and never obtained a promotion without a severe and arduous struggle. I came among the members of the Northern Circuit with that misfortune which my countryman Grattan has described—l came with the curse of Swift upon me'—l was an Irish man. I was made from my earliest time the mark of a cruel and jealous opposition, and a determined effort to keep me down if it were possible. But, gentlemen, their efforts failed. Step by step I van quished one difficulty and another, and won by degrees the honours which I have received, and the dignities which I hold. (Loud cheers.) I obtained a lead at my sessions ; I obtained the best recorder ship but one on the Northern Circuit—l obtained my rank a short time ago from two judges, them selves formerly members of the Northern Circuit, of Palatine precedence at Liverpool ; and, finally, notwithstanding all my traducers—aye, and at the very time when detraction was doing its worst, I received the rank of her Majesty's counsel from the hands of the Lord Chancellor Campbell. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I am asked what charges were brought against me. I will tell you in substance what they were; but I do this, not to please the ' Disappointed Elector,' but in compliment and re spect to you. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will tell you the high crimes and misdemeanours which formed the principal points of the recent inquiry. It was my misfortune—or, if my interrogator likes, it was my fault and error in julgment, to accept many years ago the chair of a company, and connect my self more or less with commercial speculations in London. Gentlemen, the charges, as they are called, which were brought against me, arose out of matters the youngest of which is seven years old, and others dated back actually to ten years ago. (Loud cries of shame and hear, hear.) The men who instigated these charges never showed their faces—my real ac cusers never appeared—but, beginning with the efforts of a few individuals on my circuit, scandals were whispered about, which at last, by some means or other which! have not been able as yet to detect or expose, led to the investigation by the bombers of my Inn. Those charges arose out of these by-gone and past transactions, and they who alone, if the charges were true, had a right or title to complain were no parties to the institution of the inquiry. (Ap plause.) Gentlemen, without going into detail, I tell foot by foot, and inch by inch, Il disputed youthis—that the grou nd with my assailants. (Hear, hear.) I was upon 15 different occasions before the benchers of my Inn, and I stood practically before 15 different tribunals, because upon no two occa sions were my judges the same. The examinations were conducted within closed doors. I would to God they had been conducted in the broad light of day and before the face of my constituents and the u (hear, hear)—they were conducted by country— (hear, try— sitting down after dinner, varying in num bers and attendance, and sometimes postponing the in quiry - upon the most trivial grounds. But, g men , whatever feelings were entertained tow ards m e originally, there were _ many among those entl benchers who, I believe, were men of the highest honour, imbued with the spirit of justice, and ac tuated by feelings of generosity—and to them mainly, and to their indignation at the monstrous wrongs which I was enduring, I believe I owe at last the verdict which even my interrogator will not deny has been in my favour. (Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, I do sincerely hope that that public which claimed for a supposed lunatic the other day a public examination as to his mental capacity—l hope that public will declare, sooner or later, that a man holding my rank should not be tried in the dark, by a tribunal constituted like that before which I have appeared, upon any charges affecting his professional conduct or his private character. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now only, in conclusion, to tell my disappointed' querist that I have no objection on earth, if it pleases those who were my judges, to the publication to the world of everything which took place before them. (Loud cheers.) I refer my ' Disappointed Elector' to those benchers whom he has had the impertinence to name, and I believe, if he makes inquiry with the idea that he will gain any material to damage my cha racter, he will come away a doubly disappointed elector. (Loud applause.) No, gentlemen, if the truth must be told, mine is a hard lot. When men had ceased to strike at my political character—when men had ceased to disown my professional claims, they have dared to assail my private honour; but, as I conquered.the former, so I have succeeded in dis comfiting the latter ; and I tell this disappointed' one in particular that if he will dare to show his front and utter in plain language those slanders which he has dared to insinuate, I shall make him responsible before 12 men in a jury-box. (Loud and protracted cheering.) Now, gentlemen, I have done. I have gone over the various points which, fairly or unfairly, have been pressed upon your attention, and upon which I have come down, though late, to Southampton, in the honest hope that I might receive from you a verdict such as would tell at once to the public that whatever cruelty I have encoun tered elsewhere—however the dirty fingers of cer tain members of my own profession have been em ployed in raking up the scandals of the past for the purpose of dragging up something to damage my repute, yet that you sympathised with your repre sentative—that you accepted the result—that you saw me still the member of an honourable profession in spite of malice, and jealousy, and of political hate —still holding the rank which by such hard struggles I attained, and that you would by your determina tion and by your pronounced opinion to-night trample for ever upon this cruel attempt to call public attention to a matter which hitherto, at least, has been confined to a more limited circle, and has never yet been brought forth and laid before the glare of public day. (Loud cheers.) But the ' Dis appointed Elector' has done it, and I hope he is now satisfied. Let him go home to-night to his bed, and if he knows the Lord's prayer let him say, if he can with an honest heart, ' Forgive me my trespasses as I forgive them that trespass against me.' (Hear.) Let him go home and ask at the throne of grace, or teach his children to ask, ' Givens this day our daily bread ;' but let his conscience remind him that he has done his best, as others have for some time been doing theirs, to deprive me and my children of their daily bread, by traducing my name and slan dering my personal character. (Much cheering.) Let him go home, gentlemen, and if he be not a miserable hypocrite the words that I have uttered will at least dispose him for a moment to a feeling of contrition, and I hope, before he has done his prayers he will utter an expression of repentance. (Loud applause.) Gentlemen, I have no more to say._ I trust I have not said too much. (No, no ; go on.) I did not mean to 'weary you. I came here to dis charge a duty. I came here to tell you and lay bare before you my conduct during the past session. Gentlemen,hitherto, at all events, every effort of the enemy has failed. (Hear, hear.) What was the first slander against me ? Why, that I sold myself for a mess of pottage to Lord Derby, and afterwards that I sold myself to Lord Palmerston. What has been your opinion of these slanders ? Why, you found, when I challenged and defied those who dared to make such charges, that they slunk like this ' Disappointed Elector' in the back ground, and covered themselves either behind the sheet of an anonymous poster, or sneaked into the dark alley where the coward and the calumniator hatch their wicked plots unseen. (Great cheering.) [Some confusion here took place in the body of the hall, and a young man connected with the _Hamp shire Advertiser was forced through the crowd to the front of the platform.] Silence having been restored, Mr. Seymour proceeded to say,—Gentle men, don't, I pray you, visit upon our young friend here the sins of those who are his principals ; don't panish the subordinate for that which, personally, he is no more responsible for than any man here whom I have the honour of addressing. If I could read that young man's heart I believe it beats with indignant sympathy for the outrage which has been done me. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, let these things pass. When I was last in Southampton I met a man, whom I will not name, but you may all easily identify him, for he has been long personally con nected with these attacks upon my reputation. When I met him in Southampton he ventured to make a bold prophecy in my hearing. He said, Mr. Seymour may speak very confidently about coming to Southampton, but I tell you I have strong reason to know that he will never appear here again.' (Laughter.) Well, gentlemen, whatever that indi vidual may be, it is quite clear that he is a false prophet. (Hear.) That is quite clear, for believe me this is no shadow you see before you—(laughter and hear, hear)—this is not the ghost but the reality of W. Digby Seymour. (Renewed laughter.) Yes, gentlemen, I am here, and with God's help I'll be here again—l'll be here always to maintain the principles I have always avowed—l'll be here to assist you to the utmost of my power in develop ing and increasing your local prosperity—l'll be here to cheer my friends, as far as I can, by my per sonal opinion and my presence—l'll be here, the fearless expositor of the views and principles which I have never shrunk to utter, and when the next election comes, whatever charming sounds I may hear from other constituencies, I tell you that, so long as 50 men in Southampton will honestly stand by me, I would rather court an honourable defeat t a h a w ia it s h tic yo ad u n th p a r n ol w nn in ged a victory elsewhere. lsewrhllerbee here, n nud .

As an honest man I appeal to an honest and independent constituency, and I hope another election will prove that when that gentleman signed himself A Dis appointed Elector' he was prophesying for me the arrival of another victory, and foreshadowing for himself a more signal disappointment." The hon. gentleman resumed his seat after speak ing one hour and three-quarters, amid a most en thusiastic burst of applause, which continued for several minutes, and culminated in three hearty cheers, with one cheer more, for the . wor thy mem ber, whose eloquence had from beginning to end completely rivetted the attention of the largest political meeting ever seen in Southampton. Mr. T. P.

His appeal, however, was ineffectual. Mr. PAYNE persisted in his attempt to speak, hat, ultimately contented himself by proposing a vote of confidence in Mr. Digby Seymour. (Load applause ) Mr. JAMES COCKS came forward and said-1 beg to second Mr. Payne's proposition —a vote of con fidence in our worthy and esteemed member. (Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting. He said—it has been proposed and se conded that a vote of confidence be given to our worthy member, Mr. Seymour. All who are in favour of that proposition will signify it by hold ing up their hands. Upon this request an immense forest of upturned palms was presented, and upon the negative being put only one solitary hand in the vast assembly obeyed the will of its proprietor. The CHAIRMAN then declared the resolution to be almost unanimously carried, and an enthusiastic round of cheering followed for the hon. member. INDIAN GOLD-DIGGINGS. A letter from Bombay, dated Jan. 27, says : The telegraph must, long before this, have made known to you the discovery of large deposits of gold in the southern districts of the Bombay Presidency. For years the puzzling question where all the gold comes from that the natives are in the habit of con verting into ornaments for their women and their gods, has engaged the attention of speculative men, and the general belief has been that the Indian goldfields, once so prolific, could not yet be ex hausted, but that they must still be worked secretly, as the diamond mines have been ever since the political troubles in the Deccan, and the grasping nature of Mu ssulman and Mahratta rule taught the people to fear their princes, and to conceal sources of wealth which, if known, would only have exposed them to ceaseless exactions and cruel tortures. The Malabar coast, in particular, it was thought must be rich in gold, for the geological formation of the coun try is very similar to that which led Sir Roderick Murchison to foretell the existence of gold in Australia. Moreover, tradition indicated the mine ral wealth of this part of India; and some enthu siasts set forth the opinion—an opinion, by the way, which is strongly advocated by Mr. Max Muller in his recent lectures on the science of lan guage—that Malabar is the Ophir of Scripture. The first positive evidence of the existence of gold on this coast was given, I believe, by Major Wingate, some 15 years ago, when that officer was employed in preparing the new revenue survey of Bombay. But all the revenue officers of Dharwar and the neighbouring districts have long, it seems, been aware of the fact that native gold-washers are in the habit of going out after the monsoon and washing the heavy deposits of crushed quartz (de tritus) which the rains bring down from the Kup putgood Hills. What is more curious than all else, however, is the fact that Dr. Clarke, of Australia, wrote to the Bombay Government informing them that, having studied a geological map of India, he could point out to them with certainty where gold must exist. This letter was answered by Mr. Lumsden, the Secretary to Government at the time, but by one of those mistakes, common enough in India, the reply was wrongly addressed, and nothing further was ever heard from Dr. Clarke. The Government, however, appointed Captain Ay toun, of the Bombay Artillery, to survey the Kup putgood Hills, and report whether they contained gold or iron. Captain Aytoun went out in 1852, and found gold in the sand forming the beds of nullahs, or streams which are mountain torrents in the rainy season and almost dry during the rest of the year. The particles of gold were almost infinitesimal, and, on a specimen of them being sent to the Master of the Mint here to have a chemical test applied, the opinion given was that there was no gold at all. Captain Aytoun main tained that a chemical test ought not to have been applied, and showed that by simply washing the sand in a saucer the gold could be discerned ; he also took him some specimens of quartz, and was assured by an eminent analyst of Glasgow that the proportion of gold, though small, was undoubted, and the quality excellent. Strange to say, nothing farther was done in the matter, and for seven years the gold was as much neglected as if itliad been so much dirt. A few months ago an Australian gentleman, Mr. Le Souef, who had come to India on other business, heard at the artillery mess table some mention of Captain Aytoun's discovery. Having been a gold digger himself, he was not inclined to laugh at what he heard as the dream of a visionary, and he straightway went vigorously to work and ascer tained all that was known on the subject. He then offered to go on an expedition to discover if the gold could be worked at a profit, the only point still in doubt. A company of adventurers or promoters was soon formed, and Mr. Le Souef, being guaran teed all expenses, and assured that he would not be thwarted by Government, left Bombay for Dhawar about two months ago. The result of his expedition I will give in the words of his own report, which, I should add, was purposely drawn up so as not to excite too sanguine hopes. He says : " I have found gold in payable quantities in the bed of a small river, close to the village of Soortoor, and bearing about west from it. This river extends for many miles, and at every place—say every 600 yards, for about eight miles in the bed of t he cree k , I a d i in h te bed rock, and from a han dful of dirt taken fr om i one e . d t w w h o er s e ha l ft w s, as t h o ed atkhmee sure drift, t l ha fo t u g n o d ld go e ld xis of these holes I obtained gold. The other pit filled with water so rapidly that I was unable to descend tothe and profit it will be necessary to have it dan ot ed b .l to n m. one 'l o 'o f m w y or l k et t t h e e rs b f e r d om of D th h i o s n r e i e ve l r st w at it e h advantage stated that ri I had found a promising quartz reef, and that in a few days I should be able to report upon its gold-bearing qualities, but upon reflection I thought it better to abandon the idea of opening up a reef until I had made sure of the existence of fluvial or alluvial gold. Now that I have ascertained this fact, I would advise that one reef be opened at Dhonee and the other at Huttee Kuttee. It is my firm opinion that the part of this territory I have surveyed for gold had not been ocean-submerged, and consequently, that these quartz reefs will give a more constant return of gold than those of Aus tralia. I may mention that the majority of the reefs in the Kupputgood Hills run nearly north and south ; all gold-bearing reefs i n Australia and Ca lifornia run in this direction." for pumps and other necessary tools for going on e l t i o e . v b e e s , the best b d e i s e t . with the works alluded to in his report. It will be know certainly another month before we shall whether he is right in thinking th .at the deposits in sha.

Everywhere gold coloniser, and while other and more favoured fields • will cause English emigrants to hesitate prise which are still open for agricultural and industrial enter before coming to settle in India, the attraction of strong to draw to this country thousands of vigorous Anglo-Saxons. The new port of Sedasheghur may, before many years have passed, become a second Melbourne, unless Mr. Le Souef has dreamed dreams. I may warn you that the Bombay Govern ment contemplates with alarm the possibility of that universal magnet, gold, w ill such a revolution. I believe it would rather have given Mr. Le Souef £lOO,OOO to leave the country and keep his secret, than it will give him £lO,OOO for discovering a new source of wealth for the State. Our civilians have not horror of interlopers ; and, in truth, one cannot wonder that the rulers of the country dread to witness the irruption into India of a host of strong-limbed Englishmen, who have no belief in
