Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature.

We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other aqually.tiagrant 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.

(Cheers:) TIIE DUKE OFNEWCASTLE AND THE PRESS. An interview between the Colonial Sc cretary an 4 a certain deputation has accidentally raised a guts- tion of considerable public interest. Sir George Grey, as is well known, has recently returned feorn the Cape of Good, Hope; the government of which colony he administered with such . suecess as to - create a very general desire that he should -be,re installed in th 4 bfrioe.i This fi,Tling od the part of the public u:SO,raed, at last its ordinary expression, and a deputation cf the mercantile and other classes principally interested in the prosperity of the colony waited by formal appointment on th:, Duke of New castle, for the purpose of explaining their Wishes and urging their views. On Thursday afternoon the meeting took place, and after the usual preli• minaries of introduction the spokesman of the depu tation was commencing his address, when his Grace remarked that certain gentlemen present appeared to be taking notes of what occurred, and proceeded to observe that he thought a report of the interview would be attended with inconvenience. Upon this intimation the representatives of the press, four of whom wore in the room, prepared, of course, to withdraw, and after some explanations had been courteously offered did actually retire, so that the result of the interview cannot be given to the public. This occurrence calls for attentive con sideration. That a Minister of the Crown may receive visitors. necessarily foi' the discussion of in octant questions without making the interview a public one is a of p Newcastleropositionrergena ulirtiii, on the ri, occasionnil when n referred the Duke to that privacy wa s d es i ra bl e i n or d er t h at h e m i g ht" aside reserve, it would have been altogether im possible to resist the inti ma ti o n . If t h e case had . been plainly treated as an °veep,- ional case no m o re could be said, but this does not appear to have been the Duke's view of the matter. He did, it ia true, al:ude to his own offieial character, and to the nature of the question, which related to a prerogative of the Crown, but his succeeding observations were evi dently applied to the general practice of reporting such proceedings. He stated, indeed, with P erf ec t frankness, that he lead no wish to invest that parti cular interview with any extraordinary secrecy, and that his object was simply to indicate the incen venience of a system which imposed upon a Minister a reserve from which he would be glad to escape. If the argument, therefore, is valid at all, it is valid for all such cases, and this opinion, we arc bound to say, we cannot readily entertain. The practice of reporting such proceedings as these originated, like all reporting, in suggestions of practical utility, and it has been confirmed by experience of the self-same character. When a deputation of some 40 or 50 gentlemen Waits upon a Minister, it is for the purpose' of obtaining an expression of official opinion upon some point of public interest. Representations are prepared be forehand, facts collected, and arguments, not always of uniform tendency, duly provided. To these the Minister makes his reply, and the interview is usually prolonged by some amount of interpellation and discussion. All this constitutes a result which it is not very easy fir an unpractised head to carry away, and the words of the Minister or his visitors run no small risk of misrepresentation in the vari ous versions which obtain circulation. By the pre sence of a professional reporter every such chance of error is removed, and not only the public, but perhaps the spokesmen themselves, receive through the medium of the press a more accurate impression of the transaction than they could otherwise have acquired. It was remarkable enough that on this very occasion the Duke of Newcastle himself was fain to stop the reporters as they were quitting the room,• and. request their aid in setting the pubic right on a particular point which he wished to be understood. Something, he observed, " had got wind" about one of his despatches, and therefore he desired that the real truth should be known. This was a very reasonable precaution, but it might have occurred to his Grace that some particulars of the pending interview were likely to get wind also, and that the same kind of corrective might be de sirable for the information of the public. We do not well see how there can be any middle course in these c ises bet Ween privacy and publicity —between communications expressly confidential and discussions formally reported. We can per fectly understand a private interview with a Mi nister, but is an interview likely to possess that character which is conducted on one side by perhaps a hundred persons, not necessarily of one accord, though animated all of them by considerable strength of feeling ? When a meeting is arranged between a Minister and a deputation it is generally after some public excitement, of which, in fact, the deputation is the first practical expression. The members of the deputation naturally owe some ac count of their proceedings to those who deputed them, and the Minister knows beforehand that his reply will be weighed, and that from his words will be derived either satisfaction or disappointment. In short, proceedings of this kind now enter into the machinery of our constitution like those oratorical displays which bring together Ministers and their constituents during a Pat liamentary recess. When a tax becomes obnoxious, or an improvement desir able, " a deputation to the Minister" is one of the earliest stages in the procedure of reform, and the " report" of the transaction is looked for with as much eagerness as any other Ministerial statement or explanation. la the case before us the question had been notoriously agitated both in the colony and at home. The retiring Governor had been un commonly successful in appeasing the animosities of the frontier tribes, he had established something , like actual tranquillity, and so sensible was every body of the advantage secured that the very Hot tentots petitioned the Crown for his reinstatement. The deputation on Thursday afternoon followed as a matter of course, and, equally 'as a matter of course, the public looked for the reply. At this point, however, things took a novel turn, and we are unable to communicate the expected intelli- Bence. The Duke of Newcastle remarked that reports of these proceedings were not unfrequently attended by comments, and that the anticipation of this kind of criticism imposed upon the Minister a species of restraint. The force of this argument we co not exactly comprehend. No doubt the statement of a Minister on a point of public interest, whether made at a provincial banquet or an interview with a deputation, or on any other occasion, would at tract the remarks of the press, but these remarks would gain in justice and utility exactly in propor tion to the accuracy with which the subject was proposed.* If his grace meant to say that a Minister could adopt a more unreserved manner when his words were not taken down, the observation may be correct, but the point could be hardly worth contending for at the expense of a more important result. We can easily suppose that his grace may entertain ideas on this or on other subjects which he might not care to make absolutely public, but these, we imagine, would not be expressed to a "numerous and influential" deputation of strangers, even if there were no reporters iu the room. We think, in short, that when a quest ion has arri' ed at the stage of deputation, the publicity of the transaction is practically establisled. There is a time for all things, and uncloubludly there is a time for Ministerial reserve. But when, after much pre vious discussion, a large body of gentlemen 'pre viously unknown to a Minister wait upon him by :.ppointment to convey the sentiments of a still larger body of their countrymen, and to e wry back to their constituents the views of the Go:einment, we think it would be better at once to rce)gnise the publicity of the preeeedings.—Tinies.

GENERAL PEEL ON THE NATIONAL DEFENCES AND THE ARMY. £12,000,000 voted in the estimates, was a depart ment altogether separate from and independent of Parliament, and he was further pleased to add— (cries of "question.") I have no intention of mak ing an attack upon Mr. Bright, but I wish to show that that money is not spent without the control of Parliament. The control of Parliament over the money voted for the army is our great safeguard against a standing army, and it is, I believe, a great constitutional privilege, which I for one should be sorry to see dispensed with. I wish to show, therefore, that Mr. Bright is mistaken if he sup poses that the Horse Guards has the power of spending a single shilling of that money. So far from Parliamenthaving no control over the money voted, there ai e no estimates laid before Parliament in such detail as the army estimates, down even to tho expense of the clothing of each individual regi ment. They are divided into twenty-five or twenty six votes, every one of which is open to question and discussion ; and all I can say is, that if Parlia ment does not exercise scrutiny and control, it. is the fault of Parliament itself, and not of the Horse Guards. (Cheers ) DINNER TO LORD LYV.EDEN. one of them would ever return ? Why they would all be cut to pieces and destroyed before they had time to say their prayers, if they ever do say them. But if they did return, does any man of com mon sense suppose that they would derive honour or glory from any such attempt ? (Hear, hear.) I cannot believe such a thing as that. I have now come to the last topic upon which I mean to address You. We are, I am told, to have a fresh reform bill. I am not in state secrets, and I can speak freely Upon such subjects, but all I can.) say is, that if a reform bill is to be produced next session I heartily hope that it will be a full and efficient one, that wo shall have no sham reform, but that we shall so settle the question that we shall not be perpetually quarrelling about it; and whether it is introduced by Lord John Russell, or whether it settles the representation of the country upon the basis of a £6 franchise in towns and £lO in counties, or whether it results in a large extension of the franchise, all I have to say is that I hope it will be an effectual, one. • Some people still aver that it is not wanted, and go far as to say that if Lord. Derby had had the manliness to say that he would put it off for some time there would have been no great cry raised against him. If, however, it is not wanted, how came it that on the occasion of the last dissolution there was not a single person who appeared before their constituencies who did not say that it was re quired ? (Hear.) Young ladies very often say they do not want to be married, but they seldom refuse the chance—(laughter)—and members of the House of Commons sometimes say they do not want to be made peers, but they, like young ladies, generally accept the offer. (Laughter.) So it was with re spect to reform—that reform was urgently required was shown in the recent cases of bribery which had been brought so prominently before 'the country. The question is full of difficulties, and the bribery difficulty is not the least. The indirect bribery of custom cannot be got over, but as a proof that the other bribery, of which we have seen such dis graceful instances proved daily in the Wakefield commission, can be done away with, I will only mention that whereas my first election for North ampton cost me £l,OOO, the last one only cost £3OO. (Cheers). In conclusion, the noble lord observed that he:had the consolation of knowing that while in office neither kith nor kin benefited by his patronage, and that, although he was quite con scious that as a member of Parliament he had not " gone the pace" quite sufficiently fast, yet he had always endeavoured to adopt that course which he conceived most beneficial to the interests of the country. The noble lord resumed his seat amidst the cheers of the meeting. Lord HENLEY then proposed " Her Majesty's Ministers," which was acknowledged by Mr. Gilpin, M.P., and several other toasts haven g been prop )sed, the meeting broke up at a late hour. LORD BATHERTON ON THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. In his capacity of Lord-Lieutenant of Stafford shire, Lord Hatherton at tended an inaugural dinner of the Hansworth Volunteer Riflemen on Tuesday evening last. Daring hls speech, in reply to the toast of his health, Lord HATHERTON said—Gentlemen, this is not an improper occasion to observe that there has been undoubtedly for a long course of years, and espe cially for the last two years, a deep-seated feeling of uneasiness and distrust because of the de fenceless situation of this country. This feel ing pervades not merely men of the class I am addressing ; it exists equally in the highest and the very lowest classes of society, proving how sound in substance that society is. I believe it is a feeling that supersedes every political feeling whatever; and I believe it will be found, in the next session of Parliament, that the main question will be, not " What do you think of this or that franchise ?" but " What are your opinions about the defences of the country ?" That will be the question of the next few years. I am sure I need not say anything in detail as to the actual condition of our army and navy; but I may cursorily observe with respect to the army that such is its condition in organization • and substance, and such is its insufficiency of men, that if a sudden quarrel were to take place with our neighbours across the Channel to-morrow we should not have a single man in the field if our garrisons were supplied in the way they should be. We should require 15,000 men for Plymouth, 10,000 for Portsmouth, and 10,000 for the Isle of Wight ; besides these we should have to man our lines at Chatham, and put smaller military forces into other garrisons, so that when all this was done we should not have a single man to place on the field. It is absolutely necessary that the truth should be spoken. Across the Channel a Govern ment exists of which I say nothing, but of which we all know that secrecy is one of its elements, and that its power is immense. It can man a force, either on land or sea, at the shortest possible notice. We can do nothing of the sort. We can do nothing except by the operation of a Parliamentary vote ; the votes once passed cannot be exceeded; and six or nine months may elapse before additions can be made. It is absolutely necessary, therefore, that the people should understand their position, and. forego all minor or party considerations for the pur pose of giving their representatives authority to do whatever may be necessary in their estimation for the defence of the country. (Cheers.) We all feel, however, soldiers though we are, that our first hopes must rest on the efficiency of our navy, (Hear.) That has ever been the arm of this country, for on no other can we rely for its safety., What is its condition ? I believe we have at this moment a better navy than We have had for years, but it had fallen into a most discreditably low condition. lam old enough to have served upon a committee in the House of Commons in 1817 and 1818, the object of which was to ventilate the different departments of Government, and see what could be done in the re duction of expenditure. I remember that when we came to the navy estimates Lord Castlereagh pre sented himself, and said he came at the request of Lord Liverpool to inform us what the views of the Cabinet were with respect to the strength of the navy at that period. He laid - it clown that at no period could this country ever be safe unless it were able to put to sea at the shortest notice a fleet at least equal to that of any other two Powers. For a very short time a fleet of that description was main tained; but we know how it has dwindled away until at length the country has been excited by alarms, and we are now spending millions in re storing it to its proper position as a steam navy. Now, the navies of the two countries may be equal, but there is one point, I regret to state, in which we are inferior. I believe that France could now put into the Channel a larger fleet, in a shorter period of time, than it is. in the power of England to do. Consideting the vast resources of this country, the immense foreign possessions it has to defend, our Vast wealth at home, and our great population, I say that if any disaster were permitt ed to befall iis country by means of its navy, it would be the greatest disgrace that ever fell on any country in the history of the world. (Mar.) I believe there is no effort that England is not prepared to make —there is no pecuniary sacrifice we would not submit 'to—for the purpose of avoiding such a dis grace. (Cheers.) Consider what would happen if wo had an equally balanced action in the Chan nel. We might be invaded at every point, and a large army might take the field while we have such inadequate resources to meet it. (Hear.) Or even if our navy sustained disaster and defeat it would not be necessary for France to invade Eng land. We should be already conquered. She could blockade our poets; she could prevent the en trance of-food or raw material. If she were mis tress of the Channel fur a few months she would be mistress of half the world. Therefore it is that the influence of the represented should be brought to bear upon the representative, in order that the House of Commons may sec it is your desire that the honour of the country should be protected. (Cheers.) DO not let it be supposed that lat all undervalue the volunteer movement. I understand, on the authority of the very best officers—those who have had the largest experience — that, carried t with ai render avatsht t e i c e ua most boe fr Government faato i sudden tb ie Governmentda rger a lis he dispense \N volunteer artillery will o in n ip a o s r i t t an is t nos services est o cannot en of troops in our garrisons that must otherwise have been detained ; and I believe that, • even with the restricted discipline which can only be maintai • • ned by solitary companies, yet that, connected wlth re gular troops they might be made available in a short time for most important services. Thie is the opinion of Sir John Burgoyne,—a parson of the highest authority. But I hope that a good deal more than this may be done. We must have a consider able increase of the army, or the militia must be made more effective. There is no sufficient reason why the old constitutional resource of the ballot, with a modification suiting it to the altered circum stances of the country, may not still be resorted to. Nine-tenths of the surface . of these islands are of rural character, and in those parishes there is no more reason now than there was 50 years, ago why the ballot should not be had recourse to. I would suggest that an Act of Parliament The first annual meeting of the Huntingdonshire Agricultural Association, which, after having been in abeyance upwards of ten years, has recently been revived, took place yesterday at Huntingdon. The exhibition of -- stock, the skill displayed in ploughing and other agricultural operations, and the specimens of draining submitted, were reported by the judges to be highly satisfactory. At four o'clock the members, to the number of nearly 200, dined together at the Town-ball, under the presi dency of the Hon. 0. Buncombe, M.P., supported by General Peel, M.P., Mr. T. Baring, M.P., Mr. G. Fellowes, M.P., Lord It. Montague, M.P., and many of the principal agriculturists of the county. Tile usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN, in giving " The Army and Navy," observed that the preparations which were being made by the Government led to the conclusion either thit this country was about to attack some other nation, or that we ourselves were likely to be at tacked. No one would for a moment imagine that the former was likely to be the case ; and when it was remembered that the destinies of a great neigh bouring country were in the hands of a single indi vidual, people might be excused if some misgivingNORTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.

Daily thousands of excursionists flock to this most unfinished portion of the creation—the Island of Holyhead —en route to the Big Ship. The weather, up to within the last few days. has been extreme:y fine ; in fact, there have occasionally been days on which the heat of the sun was too great to be pleasant, and thus far sightseers have had a far more favourable opportunity of inspecting the vessel than they could have reason ably expected at this time of the year. Since yes terdey, however, a change has come over the face ofthe elements, and snow, wind, and-hail have be come the order of the day. The whole of Yesterday morning the barometer fell considerably, and the freshening breeze bee ime suspiciously chilly, and towards the afternoon the darkening sky seemed to forbode an " ugly night." About five o'clock some heavy squalle of wind and rain, accompanied by a succession of no less heavy seas, commenced SlNeeping directly into the harbour from the Irish Channel. As many of our readers are aware, the harbour of Holyhead is not the safe st place for a ship to lie in, for it is full of rocks, and with the wind - blowing as it did yesterday from the N.N.W., it becomes an exposed roadstead instead of a harbour. It was confessedly an injudicious place to bring the ship to at all, for even in the calmest weather there is only just room for her to swing clear of the dock, and the holding ground being of the very worst possible-description, with a heavy syind and sea from the N.N.W., not even Trotrnan's ,ssilschers would prevent her stern from getting on the shortly after Thci's'Captain Harrison (who is fully alive e insecurity of the ship's present posit-ion), five o'clock ordered the visitors to he dismissed, the decks to be cleared, and the steam to - be got up in the two serviceable boilers belonging to the, paddle engine, and, in fact everything to be got ready fOr shipping the cable and going to - sea.. But before this could be done, the heavy sea which set into the harbour, caused the landing bulks • alone side the vessel to show uatnistakeable symptoms of breaking away. It was therefore deemed more im portant to cast them adrift, and have them towed to a place of security up the harbour. At about half past six, the steam being ready in the padnle engines, the fore trysail was set for the purpose of " canting" the ship's head. more towards the break water, which having been accomplished, the paddle engines were started, and she steamed slowly ahead, something more than her own length, and then let ao anether anchor, with 80 fathoms of cable. After this the ship rode pretty secure, and there was every reason to suppose would continue to do so through out the night, if the weather ger, no worse. But nevertheless the steam was kept up in the paddle, and the fires lighted in the screw engine boilers, and in fact everything kept in readiness to slip the cable and stand out to sea at a moment's notice. This contingency at one time did not sce;n at all an impossible one, for the weather looked so very sus picious that Capt. Harrison never left the bridge all night. Towards 2 o'clock, as is usually the case, the I wind inci6aSed considerably, but it got more round to the north, !Seim which point the harbour is more sheltered: But before the moraine . the warm but bracing breeze whieh hail prevailed for some days was changed into a keen and cutting wind, which drove before it alternately clouds of hail and half thawed snow, which it was almost impossible to face. Throughout this mornie%); there have been some very heavy falls of snow, which, though thawing as it comes down in the valleys, has covered the mountains se:th a thick white crust, which has turned the flue scenery of the Snowdon district into a most barren and wintry one. Notwithstanding the bitter cold, no less than seven or eight special trains,. three or four special boats, have brought their living freights of Great Ship visitors to Holyhead from all parts of the manufacturing districts, but their in spection of the ship is, as may be supposed, any thing but an agreeable pas idle. As the public have already been informed, the directors of the Great Ship_Comnany have come to the wise decision of not sending their magnificent ship to encounter the perils of a winter voyage in the North Atlantic in her present unfinished con dition. That this determination is a judicious one in the interest of the shareholders, no one who has visited the ship can for a moment doubt. Within the last few days the ship, by the desire of the di rectors, has been most carefully surveyed by Mr. Joidan, of Liverpool, Mr. Benley, of London, and Mr. Patterson, of Bristol, the builder of the Great Britain. This gentleman, after having carefully visited every portion of the Great Eastern, pre sented a report to the directors e to the effect that the chip was in far too unfinished a state to proceed on her voyage across the Atlantic. In the hot weather there is no provision for ven tilation, and there is no protection whatever from the severe cold, which the vessel is sure to en counter. The decks are reported to be disgrace fully bad, both with respect to material and workmanship, and, moreover, to be so leaky as to • let the water into the cabins and saloons. That these defects exist is no fault of the company, for they certainly took every preeauti in to obtain a good contract, and in as far as they could, to see it properly carried out. However, within the next few days the vessel will proceed to Southampton, where, in all probability, she will be thoroughly completed by the company, under the direction of the engineers, Mr. Brereton and Mr. Jocomb, the inresentatives of and the succes sors to the late Mr. Brunel. It is to be hoped that during the run round to Southampton the directors will allow Captain Harrison to put his ship through several of the, trials which the non-compliance of the engineering contractors put a stop to during the voyage round to Holyhead. EDINBURGE AND GLASGOW BANK. A summons has just been issued against Sir Wm. Johnston and others, as trustees and executors of the manager, John Thomson, now deceased, of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank, Edinburgh, con taining certain charges, the details of which extend • to an immense number of pages, but the drift of which may be gleaned from the following remarks of the Nora British Daily Mail : In the ease of " Cullen against Sir William John ston and others." there is what appears to be a most respectable banking company, the " Edinburgh and Glasgow,"carrying on business, as it was supposed, in the ordinary manner, under the usual conditions, with necessary officers, proper regulations, and all that could he looked upon as desirable for the pur pose of securing success in business and publicity in its accounts, so „far as it was thought desirable to make them known for the information of the shareholders; and yet almost from the first .the real state of the affairs of the bank was studiously concealed. Th 3 regular books did not contain the real accounts. Private books, concealed from all but the initiated few, held the secrets which, if revealed, would have brought the whole concern to the ground in 1850. It was provided by the rules of the coinpaoy that when the roserve fun:l and one-fout ill of the capital stock was lost the com pany should dissolve without the necessity of any further procedure ; and yet, for above eight years after this, the company was kept up by false re ports, although it was going from bag. to worse, until in 1855 it fell to pieces, after having lost the whole of its capital. It was stipulated for in the laws that no shareholder should get credit to a greater extent than half the amount of his stock without security, and that all otlurs doing business should find real or personal security; and yet, in defiance of this, credit was given in the most reck less manner to people in the most doubtful circum stances, and some of the advances made to these figured as good debts, even after the patties had undergone sequestration, and the dividends on their estates lrad been taken credit for. Bills were re-dis counted in London, loans to a large amount Were eon tract ed, and shares bought in for the purpose of keep ing up the market price, whilst troublesome share holders, who had threatened exposure, had their shares bought at par, when their real value was only equal to half the original price. During the whole of this time flattering reports were issued !or the purpose of gulling the shareholders and the public, and. false abstracts of the accounts were laid before the annual meeting. In fart, it would be impassible to imagine anything more t horoughly disgraceful, or meanly dishonca, as during the whole of this time the private ledgers and other ac count books showed the real state of the affair, so that it is not possible for any one of the parties im plicated to p.ead ignorance of the real condition of the bank, so far as we are enabled to judge from a perusal of the summons, and an examination of the allegations contained in it. It is evident that Mr. Cullen believed the false reports issued, and became a vie; irn in consequence of his belief in them. He bought, year after year, stuck to a considcrabit tunount, and at the end, when, according to t statement of the directors, the concern o ught have to e been in an excellent . position , he found thew le thing rotten, and every p enn y' o f his large invest uwsl;iicbhut\Niet have been commenting makes kn ment _gone.
