ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA; 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."—Loudon Medioal 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 ef 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 ; bat 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 FRENCH GOVERN MEN2' AND TILE .LEGATIONS, Yesterday's Moniteur publishes the following de spatch, addressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Ambassador of France at the Ho!y See:— " Paris, Feb. 12, 1860. " Monsieur le Due,—l have informed you of the impression which the encyclical letter of the Holy Father to the bishops has made upon us, and I have not disguised from you the sincere regret which it has caused us. I feel it to be my duty now to com plete the circular which I addressed to the diplo matic agents of the Emperor, under date of the Bth of this month, by examining with you the recent events which have brought about the present situa tion in the Legations, in order to determine whence comes the evil, and on whom rest the responsibilities. " How, then, did the events of the Romagna break out, and how have things there come to such a pass as we see them at this moment ? Is it solely to the late war that we ought to refer the state of matters in that country ? It would take too long to enlarge on details which are present to the mind of every one who is not altogether a stranger to the affairs of his time ; and although the encyclical letter gives us the right of recalling the past and of judging, as the great powers did in 1831, the political regime applied to the Legations, I shall abstain from taking that ground. I shall confine myself simply to pointing out that from the day the Austrians withdrew the events which have taken place since their departure were certain and inevitable. We are profoundly convinced that the Pontifical Government has no grounds, from any point of view, for reproaching us with having failed In solicitude and forethought in regard to it. "At the commencement of hostilities the neu trality of the Holy See had been proclaimed and recognised by the belligerents. They continued to occupy the positions of which they were the guar dians before the war. They abstained from forti fying them for the purposes of active warfare be tween themselves. They seemed, in one word, penetrated by the thought that, above their tran sient disagreements, was a higher interest equally dear to both—that of the maintenance of order in the States of the Holy Father. The garrisons of Ferrara, Comacchio, Bologna, and Ancona, were able, in all security, to watch over the maintenance of tranquillity in the Legations and the Marches, whilst the French garrison watched over it at Rome. It does not belong to me to weigh the circumstances, most undoubtedly imperative in her eyes, which determined Austria to continue her part no longer ; but I have the right to remind you that France has remained faithful to hers. The Austrian troops withdrawn, the populations have profited by the conjuncture, without being induced thereto by any special exciting cause ; and we may say that they found, rather than made, themselves independent. That is the whole secret of the rising of the Romagna. " That rising, Monsieur le Due, cannot,- then, be imputed to France, or authorise any doubt of the sincerity of the assurances of sympathy and good will which the Emperor gave to Pius IX. at the beginning of the war. And was it not the Empe ror's duty to take into consideration the new events which took place contrary to his wishes ? His Ma jesty, looking, as was his duty, at the difficulties of the situation, and judging, nevertheless, that the peace concluded at Villafranca, might produce all the consequences which he expected from it, if the court of Rome seconded his efforts, addressed him self from Dezenzano to the Pope, on July 14, to make him acquainted with the conditions of it— "ln this new order of things," added the Emperor, " your Holiness can exercise the greatest influence and put an end for the future to every cause of trouble. If you were to consent,'or rather, de motu prop). io, be so good as to accord to the Legations a separate administration with a lay government named by yourself and an elective council, and were that province to pay the Holy See a fixed tribute, your Holiness would have ensured the repose of your States, and would - ,be able to dispense with foreign troops. "I beg your Holiness to listen to the voice of a devoted son of the Church, but one who compre hends the necessities of his epoch, and who knows that force is not sufficient to solve questions and remove difficulties. I see in the decision of your Holiness either the germ of a peaceful and tranquil future, or, perhaps, the continuation of a state of violence and calamity." You know, Monsieur le Due, that these suggestions were not received. Whilst successive events multiplied difficulties, the Court of Rome persisted in shutting herself up in an abstention calculated only to aggravate a state of things which already could not be reconciled with her authority without either sacrifices or compen sations. It is thus that all the circumstances op portune for re attaching the Legations to the Holy See have been allowed to escape ; it is thus that we have found ourselves in the presence of an eventu ality which the Emperor has in vain attempted to remove, and that his Majesty was led to address to the Holy Father his letter of Dec. 31. "And now, lask, things having passed as I have just called to mind, were then the counsels that have been rejected so singular ? Assuredly, the sincerity of the sentiments with which they were given is at least clearly demonstrated. The respect, rather let us say, the devotedness shown by the Imperial Government on every occasion to the head of the Church is one of the dominant features in the history of the ten yearsjust elapsed. The French clergy knows with what benevolence and breadth of view the Imperial Government has always en forced the laws that regulate their relations with the Court of Rome. They know that they also have found in the empire a renovating power, and that, sustained by this tutelary support, they have re sumed in French society the influence and authority denied them under other forms of government. These facts alone would suffice to attest with what feelings the Imperial Government was animated towards the Papacy, even though it may not have given it direct and incessant proofs of them. We do not dispute that the occupation of Rome, at the period when it was undertaken, was dictated by political as well as religious considerations; but who can deny that the Emperor's Government was chiefly induced to continue, year after year, the sacrifices this measure imposes on France by au af fectionate and persevering anxiety respecting the interests of the Holy See P Who does not recog nise the contrivances by means of which we have diminished, or even prevented, the inconveniences that the occupation of Rome was calculated to en tail substantially as well as actually on the sove reignty of the Holy Father ! Who can refuse to see in this aggregate of facts an evidence of the most cordial intentions and of the most formal will, not merely to protect the personal position of the Holy Father, but to extend, were it possible, his moral influence ? It is to this order of ideas in particular that is to be attributed the assistance lent by French diplomacy to the Holy Father in every country where there are religious interests to be defended, and with which are connected, to a great extent, the expeditions completed or commenced in the seas of China and Japan. And lastly, Monsieur le Due, what better proof can be given of this soli citude than the stipulation at Villafranca, by which the Emperor, in assigning t o th e H o l y F a th er th e honorary presidentship of the confederation, wished to place him at the head of regenerated Italy ? " We may deduce from this explanatory state ment how happy the Imperial Government would have been, and still would be, in the present con junctures, to effe c t a com bi na ti o n capable o f diminishing th e em b arrassments o f th e H o l y S ee. But here the goodwill of France runs a risk of failure in face of insurmountable difficulties. " In fact, it is not alone the question of restoring the Legations to the Pope, it is also requisite to find the means of maintaining them in. his hands, with out giving rise to a fresh interverktion followed by P: ICE 4P. STAMPED, SD. a fresh occupation. Events have sufficiently proved how powerless this measure would be to remedy the evil. The opinion of Europe is formed on this point, and occupation, condemned by lessons of the past in the Legations themselves, is an expedient to which no one would any longer think of resort ing, unless . he misunderstood the necessities that are binding on the wisdom and foresight of every Government. Such a policy is inadmissible at the present day. Neither the monarchical authority nor the majesty of the church would have any thing to gain by it ; religion and reason combine to reject it with equal energy. "Thus, then, Monsieur le Due, the moment had fairly arrived for taking different combinations into consideration, when the Emperor intimated their necessity to the Pope. The most evident interests, the most pressing considerations invite the Holy See to do so. A resolution absolutely taken to re fuse to recognise the true nature of the present state of things would only aggravate it more and more, and end by creating impossibilities equally in surmountable. On the contraey, should the Holy See at length decide on quitting the religious ground, on which the question does not really rest, in order to return to the ground of temporal interests, the only one involved in the debate, perhaps it would bring about, late as it may be, a ohange favourable to its cause. In every case it would enable the Emperor's Government to lend its support to i con ciliatory and reasonable policy. " You are authorised to read this despatch to Cardinal Antonelli, and to leave with him a copy of it, in case he should express a wish for one. " Accept, Monsieur le Due, the assurances of my high consideration. " THOUTENEL.” UNIVERSITY .130A7' RACE.

On Thursday morning a detachment of Indian engineers, from the depot at Warley, joined the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment at Chatham, for the purpose of going through a course of instruction in sapping and mining, and other engineering operations, previously to em barking for India. Some extensive fortifications are in progress at Hartlepool under the superintendence of Lieut - Colonel Heugh, lt.E. Three batteries are being erected, one at Fairy Cove, another in front of the Friaragefleld Town Moor, and the third at the western base of the commissioners' lighthouse. The batteries will altogether mount nine guns, and will be provided with Sir William Armstrong's long range 6 s-pounders. The new buildings in course of construction in Woolwich Arsenal, which are intended to afford more ample scope for the operations of Sir 'William Armstrong's rifled ordnance department in its various branches, although erected on a site (in the proximity of the chief factory) which no longer than eighteen months ago was an unprofitable swamp, producing nothing but rank grass and weeds, are already covered in. The principal portion of the machinery has arrived, as well as a number of huge steam hammers from the manufacturers, Messrs. Condrie, of Glasgow, Morrison, of Newcastle, and Napier, of Leeds. Some of the forges are nearly complete, and the anvils belonging to the steam hammers firmly fixed on a solid stratum of concrete, and supported by enormous blocks of Portland rock. These are intended for the manufacture of the outer covering, termed the " chemise," to render the cast-iron guns made at Lowmoor and other contract works serviceable after the process of rifling, which will be commenced in the early part of next month, at which time it is proposed to com mence the manufacture of the 100-pound cannon on Sir William's ordinary principle. Upwards of 200 guns of smaller calibre have been tur ned out and proved in the short space of time wh ich has elepsed since the formation of the factory i at Wool wich, and about an equal number is n various stages approaching completion. An order hes been received from the Secretary of State for War directing the final inspection and proof of the guns to be carried out in future by the department under the control of Mr. Anderson, the resident superin tendent. The usual pro of carried out on T ues d ays and Thursday s w as this week deferred, in conse quence of the difficulty of providing, under the present limited resources of the establishment, the necessary relay of boring instruments, which will constitute one of the branches of the establishment by no meals inconsiderable. The General Co mmanding-in -Chief is shortly expected at Colchester for the purpose of inspecting 71 the old parade ground, on mint. t it is a t Government propose to erect caviar"' barracks. • The officers attached to the Staff College, Capt.

The officers are also to report on the capa bilities of the district for the erection of small earth batteries and other works of defence, and will visit various other localities, .when similar reports will be made. The Deputy-Adjutant of the Royal Artillery, Col, Charles Bingham, and the members of his de partment, have removed from Whttehall-yard to the Horse Guards, where in future all the ba.iness at head quarters will be conducted. The Council of Military Education will, by the change, receive increased facilities for the transaction of matters belonging to that branch of the service. STATE OF I'EA DE. LEICESTER.—As a necessary result of the uncer tain state of public affairs, more particularly in a financial point of view, the 'temporary slackening of business which we reported last week still con tinues. As far as we can gather the opinions of our manufacturers, without any authoritative enun ciation of them, they would regard the commer cial treaty with France with considerable favour if they had more confidence in the stability of affairs in that country. Several of our staple pro ducts, such as elastic webs and cotton goods, might, it, is thought, be able to compete in the French market, notwithstanding the duty of 30 per cent. t :at this prospective and uncertain advantage N• ill s early purchased by the heavy income tax with which we are threatened. Worsted spinners eon tinue well employed, and the nhoe trade, in which several new establishments have been lately, or are about to be opened, is very active. Yarns are a trifle easier to purchase, and wools remain without alteration.—Leicester Journal of yesterday. NOTTINGHAIi.-IVe have no change to note in the lace trade, business being in all branches pretty nearly the same as last week, which means, in fact, that trade continues in the lowest pos,,ible state. In the hosiery manufacture, which still continues to exibit a marked contrast to the lace trade, the orders for goods, both for home and foreign con sumption, continue abundant, and in some branches an advance in the wages of the operatives has taken place. Yarns remain firm in price, with no appear ance of reduction.—Nottingham Journal-of yester day. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.
