Translated from the German of Dr. PfCKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemole 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 th 4 reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

From the number of subscribers that were present to day, the different events that were introduced, and the many horses that were inquired after, to all appearance a good stroke of business was likely to be done. Such, how ever, was not the case. Anatis, Jealousy, and Bridegroom had staunch friends for the Liverpool Steeplechase at their quotations. For the Derby, 1,000 to 15 was taken a time or two about Blue Ruin, and Sir William was in de mand at 40 to 1. For the Chester Cup, Timandra would have been backed to money at 50 to 1; Longnmge and Bir mingham are almost friendless.

On Tuesday last Superintendent Everist, the active and intelligent superintendent of the K.C.C. for the Chatham district, received information that a prize fight between Travers, the Black, and another man named- Mace was to come off that day within his district, and he at once took measures to prevent it. The men, he understood,.were to ar rive at Southend, in Essex, by the railway, and at that place the City of Rochester steamer, belong ing to Messrs. Boucher and Giles, was to meet them and convey them to the field of combat, which was appointed to take place in Kent. The vigilant superintendent, with an inspector, one sergeant, and five constables, proceeded in a fast sailing boat, engaged by the superintendent, against wind and tide, until they got round Upton, where the wind was favourable for them, and they sailed on to the White Horse at the Isle of Grain, off which place there were no fewer than forty vessels—eight or ten of them of them of a large class—evidently laden with spectators of all classes to view the ap proaching combat. With the coolness of an expe rienced tactician, superintendent Everist lay on and off with his clipper till he saw the City of Rochester approaching from Southend across the river Med way towards the Kentish shore. She then steamed up the river towards Sandgate Creek, having on board the pugilists and about 50 others of equal respectability, although some of them were of a higher rank than the others. The police superintendent kept his boat hovering about the landing-place, thinking it advisable to allow suffi cient time to elapse as would prevent the combatants removing to any other spot in the county to carry on their pastime. When he saw the ring had been formed, he landed under a wall near the spot, and was not observed till he was close to the ring. The stakes and ropes were immediately pulled up, and the ruffians kept running away in every direction, making for the steamers and boats. The tide at that time was ebbing fast, the superintendent re turned to his boat and made chase, the others having considerably the start of him. All sail was, however, crowded, and he beat every boat except the steamers. On coning to Folly Point they saw the men had landed from the city of Rochester, and at about half a mile distance the stakes were pitched, the ring formed, and the ruffians beginning to fight —on which the superin tendent and his men landed and proceeded to the ring, into whick Everist jumped over the ropes, when the pugilists and their seconds sprang out of the ring and made their escape, whilst the spec tators ran towards their boats, in attempting to reach which one of them was nearly drowned. They again started for a more favourable spot, but Everist, with his clipper, was in such hot pursuit that they were compel ed to proceed to Strood,where they landed, and proceeded to London by the South Eastern Railwal. They were so much astonished at the rapidity ind success of his movements, that several ringleaders assured him, "upon their honour," that they would not come into his district any more.—/Codsh Gazette. 2HE NAVY. The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. John W. Tarle ton, C. 8., at Spithead, yesterday morning ex changed the customary salutes with the Victory, flagship of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral W. Bowles, C.B. The Sprightly, paddle-steamer, had left the harbour for Spithead at daylight to be in attendance on the ship in the event of her services being required by Prince Alfred, and the Elfin, Royal paddle yacht, steamed out soon after 8 a m. for the purpose of bringing his Royal highness on shore. It had been blowing a heavy gale all night from north-west to west, and at the time the Elfin went out was still blowing very heavily from the latter point, with occasional rain squalls, but with much less sea on than at the time when the Eurya lus brought up on the previous evening. On the Elfin's luffing through the Swashway, the little craft was at times completely hidden from view by the clouds of foam and spray which flew over her. Shortly after 10 a.m. his Royal Highness, accom panied by Captain Tartleton and his private suite, embarked on board the Elfin, which steamed into harbout, when the Pri nce landed at the dockyard, and left-for London by the 11 a.m. South-Western train. The construction of another gun-vessel is being proceeded with at Pembroke dockyard. • She is to be called the Nimble, and is to be built in the same shed and from the same lines as the Espoir, recently launched from No. 6 slip. The Nimble will be the third of these fast despatch vessels built at Pem broke, and the,following will be her chief dimen sions:—Len gth betweeß. perpendiculars,. 145 ft.; treffoiTOntiiiie;4o ft ; 1-v44ad-tit-for tonnage, 25ft. lin.; breadth, moulded, 24ft. Gin.; and depth of hold, 13ft. She will be fitted with engines of 80-horse nominal power, and carry four broadside guns and one pivot gun. The naval transport Duck, Mr. Weal master, has ' commenced shipping war stores at Chatham dock yard. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty ;—Frederick W. Rea, master, to the Cumberland; John Wotton, paymaster, additional, to the Victory ; A. H. Du Borlaz, mid- , shipman, to the Centurion ; William Price, inspec tor of machinery afloat, to the Victoria and Albert ; John Bruco and Thomas Truscott, chief engineers, to the Victoria and Albert ; William Brown and ' John Prowett, Ist class assistant engineers, to the Victoria and Albert ; Joseph Mears and William J. Brown, Ist class assistant engineers, to the Victoria and Albert, as supernumeraries fur service in the Elfin ; George Tidcombe, 2d class assistant engineer, to the Wellington, for charge of the machinery of the Penguin ; A. B. M'Luckie, acting 3d class assistant - engineer, to the Victoria and Albert ; Thos. Marsh, acting 3d class assistant-engineer, to the Diadem ; Robert Anderson (B), acting 3d class assistant engineer, to the Wellington, for temporary charge of the Procris ; Samuel Windley, John King, and William Ross, 3d class assistant-engineers, to the Fisgard, for appointment to gunboats coming for ward. THE ARMY. General Sir George Brown, G.C.B„ is appointed to the command of the forces in Ireland, in succes sion to General Lord Seaton, G.C.8., whose period of service (five years) expires on the 12th proximo. Sir George Brown, who is at present in Paris, in which capital he has been passing the winter, is expected to return home early in the ensuing week. The Inspector-General of Fortifications' Depart ment and the Barrack Department, so long resi dent at Harrington-house, Whitehall-gardens, have this week removed to the War-office in Pall-Mall. Tile Secretary of State for War, with the con currence of the General Commanding-in-Chief, has decided that the army shall be equipped exclusively with those rifled muskets, pattern 1853, the parts of which are universal, or respectively interchange able; and that the arms which are non-inter changeable shall be kept for the militie, volunteers, and other forces. The boring operations on the shoals of the eastern approaches to Spithead, for the purpose of selectin ,, the sites for the intended forts recom mended°by the Defence Commission for the protec tion of Portsmouth Dockyard, &c., a:e still being carried on. An excellent foundation has been found on the " No Man's" shoal, but on the " Horse" shoal nothing firmer than shingle has been found at a depth of 47 feet. The boring has been now com menced on the southern portion of the " Spit" shoal, but has been interrupted by the present stormy weather. As soon as it moderates the work will be rssumed.

The following is an additional article to the Treaty of Commerce, concluded at Paris on the 23d of January, 1860, between her Majesty and the Emperor of the French, signed at Paris on • the 25th of February,lB6o, and ratifications exchanged at Paris on the 28th of February, 1860,: " By Article VIII. of the Treaty of Commerce be tween her Majesty the Queen of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland and his Majesty the Emperor of the French, signed at Paris on, the 23d of January last, her Britannic . Majesty under took to recommend to Parliament the admission into the United Kingdom of brandies and- spirits imported from France at a duty exactly equal to the Excise duty levied upon home-made spirits, with the addition of a surtax of 2d. a-gallon, which would make the actual duty payable on French brandies Bs. 2d. a-gallon. Since the ratification of the said treaty the Government of her Britannic Majesty have ascertained that the surtax of 2d. a-gallon is not sufficient to countervail the charges with which in consequence of the operation of the laws of Cus toms and.ExCise, home-made British spirits have now to contend ; and that a surtax limited to the rate of 2d. a gallon would still leave home made British spiriti subject to a differefitial- duty in favour of foreign brandies and spirits. Consequently, the Government of her Britannic Majesty having represented these circumstances to the Government of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, and his Imperial Majesty having consented that the amount of the said surtax shall be increased the two high contracting parties to the said treaty of commerce do, by the present additional article, "a - gret - that-the amount of . such .surtax shall b0:5444 a-gallon, and her Britannic Majesty engages to recommend to Parliament the admission into the United Kingdom of brandies and spirits imported from France at a duty exactly equal to the Excise duty levied upon homemade spirits, with the addi tion of a surtax of sd. a gallon. "The present additional article shall have the same force and validity as if it had been inserted in the Treaty of Commerce of the 23d of January last. " It shall be ratified, and the ratifications thereof shall be exchanged at Paris within five days from the date of its signature. " In witness whereof the respective Plenipoten tiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms. "Done at Paris this 25th day of February, in the year of our Lord 1860.

It must be coteadeclatat - proposi tions made by the British confi ded men 'have not been accepted by Russia, as that Power new pro poses the formation of a separate kingdom in Cen;• tral Italy. The Russian project has been forwarded, to Prussia, France, England, and Austria, and there are persons in this city who pretend to know that it has be_. 7*-7 -- - ;> ,,,V the. Berlin cabinet. The diplomaticaildTtppears to attach some importapeO to the proposition of Russia, but it is ley no means likely that it will find favour with all the Powers. This Government svill continue to insist on the claims of the house of llapeburg•Lorraine to Tns-t cany and Modena, and to declare that it will not consent to the establishment of a Central Italian Kingdom, unless a member of the Imperial family' is placed at its head. The British and French_ Cabinets will naturally object to such an arrange- , merit, and alter sonic weeks have been spent in ne gotiating it will become evident that the affairs of Central Italy cannot be settled in the way proposed by Russia. Until very recently I was inclined to' think that the war would Lot be reviewed in Italy e but the armaments of Sardinia are on such an ex-' tensive scale that it is almost imporaibie to doubt that mischief is meant. On the 22d inst. the Lent' florsefeir beg an at Muni c h, an d t h e pr i nc i pa l pur- : ihasers were Swiss and South Tyrolese dealers, who' were supposed to be acting as agents for the Sar-' dinian Government. It is wed known that the' French army in Lombardy has been minim eed, and' that Marshal Valliant has concluded fresal contracts' for supplies, but still the military authorities deny: that the Austrian forces in Venetia and thrthe Tyrof have been augmented. It is possible that t hey speak the truth, but hardly probable ; as almost every - General officer whom one meets firmly believes that hostilities will be resumed in the spring. The re ports from Venice are extremely sad. During the - Carnival. there have been neither public-for private amusements of any kind, and the city, which was formerly " the pleasant piece, of all festivity, the revel of the earth, the masque of Italy," is now very empty ; and dull. There- are put leW, eiklngers at . Venice, and many of the natives of the Pelee are absent. some of them haVe crossed the It-Outlet' `sire in 'the coiliftry; and very many have been seized, and cast into Austrian pri sons. The n•ieste Zeituny learns from Venice that not more than 140 persons have been sent to the fortresses of Peterwardein and Ohnutz, but it is believed here that some hundreds of persons have recently iteen arrested in Padua, Verona, Mantua, &e. Not long since a deputation of the Municipal Council of Verona waited on Count Dagenfeld, and informed him that the numerous arrests by night produced a very unfavourable impression on the in habitants of the city. The Commander-in-Chief of the Second Army received the deputation civilly enough, but declared that the arrests which gave - such umbrage to the cit izens of Verona were merely . " measures of precaution " In an imperial rescript which has been published in Venice it is said that all those persons who have quitted the country in order to avoid serving in the army shall be par doned if they return to their homes before the end of May. It is, however, added that they will have to enter the army if they are ablebodied men. When the Chevalier You Toegenburg took the direction of the Stadtholderate at Venice he summoned his sub ,- ordinates to his presence, and told them that it was . their duty to serve the State and its chief in their plicate as well as their public capacity. In the , course of his speech the Stadtholder stated that any foreign emissaries who might fall into the hands of the authorities would be brought before the drum head court and punished according to their deserts. 'I he commission appointed to examine into the manipulation of the Commissariat Department at Verona is said to have made some strange disco veries, but it is not in my power to give any details on the subject, as such matters are always kept ex tremely seerct in Austria. It is, however, related that more than one of the parties concerned has gone for the benefit of his health to Sardinia. Tho Austrian and Sardinian pickets are continually bickering, and a few days ago three Piedmonteso ear bineers crossed the frontier near Valeggio, and laid violent hands on certain goods and chattels be longing to a member of the Austrian finance guard. As it is seriously the question of launching the thunders of the Church against the King of Sar dinia if he should proclaim the incorporation of the Romagna, it may not be out of place to give the Bishop of Segur s definition of the difference between the minor and major excommunication. In the one case the name of the person excommuni cated is not publicly mentioned ; in the other it is made known to the world. A person who is under the ban major is forbidden to enter a church, and if he does so the sacred edifice is desecrated, and can not be used for sacred purposes until the ceremony of re-consecration has been performed by the bishop. A monarch who dies while under the anathema of the Church cannot be buried in coast ated ground, and his name cannot be inserted in the Liturgy. The minor interdict can be removed by a common priest, but the heavier ban can only he taken off by the Pope or his legate. It strikes me that more than one person of high rank in this empire would be well pleased if the King of Sardinia should be publicly excommunicated, but the Pope cannot ven ture to have recourse to such an extreme measure, a.; King Victor Emmanuel is not the man to bow his neck before the Papal Government. On Sunday, the 19th inst., ten cardinals were busily employed in drawing up a reply to M. de Thouvenel's last despatch. Ravenna is to be declared a " national" port. A collection is being made among the jour neymen and apprentices of Vienna for his Holiness, but the sum raised will hardly be very large. Re cruits are still raised in Austria for the Pope and the King of Naples, but the papers are not allowed to make any mention of the circumstance. The Ultramontane Tro/kVreund was confiscated yesterday. As no game is too small for the autho rities whose duty it is to look after the press, they a few days ago confiscated the Musical and :thea trical licriete for remarking that it might be well to raise the prices in the Burg Theatre, and to dimi- I nish the number of free tickets. The news that the British Government had a majority of 116 last night has led to a rise oft per cent. in the foreign exchanges. People here had flattered themselves that the Whigs would soon b. obliged to retire from office. HEALTH OF LONDON LURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The sickness which is now so generally diffused throughout, the metropolitan population,eontinues to develop itself i n a hi g h rate of mortality. deaths registered i n L on d on, which rose in The the pre viousl week to 1,454, i ncrease d i n th e weekt hat enced last Saturday (Feb. 25), whet: the deaths of 1,500 persons were registered. In the ten years 1850.59 the averaga number of deaths in the cor responding week was 1,227 ; bat as the deaths re turned. last week occurred in an increased popula tion, the average to admit of comparison should bo raised proportionally to the increase, namely, to 1,349. It appears, therefore, that the deaths oflast week exceeded by 151 the number which the aver age rate of mortality would have produced. The births registered exceeded the deaths by 464. Of the 1,500 deaths, 724 occurred under 20 years of' age, 188 in the period 20 to 40 years, 228 at 40 to 60, 291 at GO to 80, and 63 at the age of 80 and upwards. Of these. six were deaths of nortogena rians ; and the widow of a hatter, residing in Friar street, Southwark, had attained, it is said, the age of 101 years. Of 1,500 deaths, 256 are referred in the returns to the zymotic class of diseases, 271 to the constitu tional, 728 to the local, 171 to the developmental class, and 42 to violence. Of the 42 under the last head, 38 were accidental, two were by homicide, and .2 by suicide. The deaths from bronchitis, which in the previous week were 250, were almost precisely the same last week, the number being 231. From pneumonia (inflammetion of the lungs) 131 persons died, and from phthi-is, or consumption,. 171. In the zymotic class small-pox proved fatal in 39 cases, while scarlatina carried off 33 persons, diphtheria 15, typhus and common fever 22, a n d whooping-cough as many as 63 children, the 13 UM. her dying in the preceding week from this disease being 40. A commercial traveller is reported, to have died from a shock to g t e l m ie e r: , e t r o v f ou u s le sy hd it ,9a e ow girls, occa sioned by witnessing a railway accident ; he h 37 ever, suffered from enlar rt.

The mean degree of humidity of the air was 82, complete saturation being represented by 100. The mean temperature ef the water of the Thames was 36.8 deg. The direction cf the wind was variable. Rain fell in small quantity in the early part of the week. THE GALE IN THE METROPOLIS. The gale of yesterday was one of the most de structive that has passed over the metropolis for some years. It commenced at nine o'clock, when the wind chopped round suddenly to W. by S , in creasing in violence as the flood tide made. At 11 o'clock the storm raged furiously, with tremendous gusts at intervals. About this time the roof of the house, No. 11, South-crescent, Tottenham-court road, was lifted up, and falling, broke through the attic floor with a tremendous crash, and fur some time it was feared that one of the female servants had been buried in the ruins ; this was happily not the case. A similar occurrence took place at No. 9, Alfred-place in the same locality. A large sheet of lead, six feet by two feet, was torn from the roof of a house in Woburn-place, Russell-square, and hurled into the street. The large and massive stone cross on the top of the Roman Catholic chapel, in Farm- 1 street-mews, was blown down, and smashed into a thousand pieces ; and the roof of a house in Revel's row, Southwark, was entirely stripped. The streets were strewed with broken tiles, slates, and chimney pots, and some serious accidents occurred. In the Pool a tier of vessels broke away, and drifted athwart another tier, causing considerable damage to spars, bulwarks, and rigging, and several collisions took place, by which a vast amount of damage was occasioned ; and the young trees and shrubs in the various parks sustained great injury. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. A severe gale commenced to blow here on Sunday evening, which continued all day yesterday. This morning it had quieted down considerably, but as the forenoon advanced it again became violent, and nar row escapes from collision on the Mersey were fre quent. The ships Georgiana, Nan set, Granite State, Jane Henderson, and Gulf Stream, in the Mersey, all dragged their anchors, and but for the ready aid of steam-tugs, would inevitably have done consi derable damage to each other, for the river was in a most turbulent state; so much so indeed that most of the ferry boats were compelled to cease running for two or three hours. The gale softened doWn considerably in the afternoon. The Eliz - abeth Kimball, hence for Melbourne, has put back leaky. The Thornton, hence for New York, has also put back. _ _ The Arequipa, for Itio Janeiro, which put back yesterday, has pumps choked, and six feet of water in her hold. To-day a large iron ship, supposed from this port for Australia, put into Belfast Lough in tow of a steamer. The Robert Mills, from Liverpool for Galveston, is on shore on the east side of the Bay of Holyhead, with fore and mainmasts gone. The Hastings, Forbes, from Kooria Mooria, for Liverpool, foundered off ♦lgoa Bay, on the 28th of December. _ A telegram from Lisbon states that the captain and crew of the Isle of Skye, from Liverpool for Buenos Ayres, with coals, have arrived at Madeira, the ship having foundered about 250 miles off. THE GALE AT DERBY. On Monday last Derby was visited with one of the most violent gales that has been known for years past, and the destruction ofproperty . has been very great. The hurricane was at its height from two until four o'clock in the afternoon. About three o'clock the fine tower of the parish church cf St. Alkmund's was seen to wave to and fro, and pre cautions were immediately taken to block up all the streets which had a thoroughfare past the church. About four o'clock the top of the spire, about four yards in length, fell with a tremendous crash, which resembled the discharge of cannon. It penetrated the high pitched roof of the nave, and fell into the body of the church. The dama ge done is estimated at £4OO. At the same time one of the fine pinnacles on the top of St. Marie's Roman Catholic Church (opposite to St. Alkmund's) fell into the yard below, but although it caught the corner of the priest's house no serious injury was sustained. About half-past four o'clock the large chimney at Messr.i. West's colour works, ' William-street, was blown down on to the workshops -beneath, and did immense da mage, numbers of carboys of vitriol being de stroyed, and causing a complete suspension of the works. In every direction trees were torn up by the roots, and although we have heard of many narrow escapes by men, women, and children, still, we are happy to say, that no lives were sacrificed. The gale abated about eleven o'clock on Monday night, but yesterday (Tuesday) it came on as vio lent as ever. THE WEATHER AND THE TELEGRAPH.—The gale NY hich commenced blowing on Monday, and which still continued up to yesterday, bas played sad havoc with the various pole lines of telegraph. Not alone in this country, but throughout the Con tinent, from Berlin to Paris, the lines have been interrupted, partly by posts being blown down, partly by trees falling on the wires, and hurling poles and wires together upon the ground. Beyoed the interruption of communication, which will speedily be remedied, little material injury has been sustained, the damage being for the most part local in its character, and easily repaired. THE GALE ON THE RivEß.—Considerable damage was caused on the River yesterday by the heavy gales which prevailed. In the Lower Hope a schooner was driven completely on shore, and off Woolwich a large number of barges were sunk, two of which were heavily laden with. The damage to house property in the town of Woolwich was also considerable. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about i per milled, and the short exchange on London is 25.12 f per £1 starling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about 1-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hambm'g the price of gold is 422 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13 .3 1 per £ 1 sterlin g . Standar d gold the English Mint price is therefore about 1-10th p er cent. dearer in Ham bur g than in Londo n. The course ofex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1081 1 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint proportions between the two countries, shows that the ex change is slightly against England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. i. ~1 ~_-aC CENTRAL I
