Are. Au erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the iiew Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Sell-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man tbrfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, :hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible, Published by the Author, price Is., or free by post for thir teen stamps, and may be had of Allen, Warwick-lane, Pater noster-row, London ; Westmacott, chemist, Market-street, Manchester; .T, Guest, Bull-street, Birmingham; Baraclough, Fargate, Sheffield ; Rayner, High-street, Southampton : W.

" 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 oqually flazrant 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 resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press..

The Peninsular and Oriental steamer arrived this morning from Gibraltar and Southampton with the outward India mail, and proceeded this afternoon to Alexandria. The Ellora, from Marseilles, with the overland mail, is expected this evening; and the Nepaul and Indus, with the homeward India and China mails, to-morrow morning. Her Majesty's ship Perseverance, bringing a wing of the 2d battalion 23d Fusiliers, arrived to-day; the Urgent, with the head-quarters of the regiment, is expected to-morrow. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Vulture also arrived to-day from Gibraltar to be repaired. The mercantile steamer Elba has gone home to ship the new electric cable to be laid be tween Candia and Alexandria ; she is expected to complete the line by March next. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Caradoc returned from Corfu yesterday. I learn that the new Lord High Commissioner, Sir H. Storks, arrived at Corfu ' on the 16th,and landed amid the customary honours. On the day following the royal warrant was read in the lonian Assembly. The popular members, Dandolo and Padovan, had addressed the Assembly against the proposed reforms. Braila, as Govern meat Fisco, exposed their false patriotism. Lom bardo was left speaking, and damaging any good impressions made by the latter. _ FEBRUARY 24.

She proceeds at once for Marseilles. H.M.'s ships of war in port are the Marlborough, Conqueror, Centurion, Vulture, Ariel, and several gunboats. The Cesarewitch, Russian liner, is still in port, so that there are two Russian liners and two frigates, all screws. BAVARIA. The following declaration on the part of thirty nine members of the Legislative Assembly of Wur• temberg has been addressed to the select committee, in order to be laid before Government : " The whole of Germany is penetrated by one sentiment—that of profound indignation at the attempt that is now made of disturbing the peace of Europe. Nobody, in beholding the enormous armaments now going on in France, is to be de ceived respecting the dangers that threaten us. France, it is true, accompanies these warlike de monstrations by assurances of her peaceful inten tions ; yet the fact of her preparations for war going on increasingly is incompatible with these professions. " On the other hand, nobody is so silly as to believe that these armaments are made in the inte rest of liberty, or for the cause of oppressed nationalities. The constant object of the founder of the Napoleonic dynasty was the destruction of foreign nationalities—the spreading of unutterable woe and misery in those countries submitted to his intolerable despotism—the founding of vassal States, afterwards to be distributed among the members of his own family, regardless of the streams of blood shed in the pursuit of his wicked and• ambitious designs. This state of things only ceased when Europe combined, and by one com mon effort hurled the oppressor for ever from his throne. " To attack alternately the various States of Eu rope, and principally Germany—to burden it with intolerable contributions —to destroy peaceful homes, commerce and industry, to draw from it its very life blood—to set Germans against Germans for his own selfish designs, to wrest from Germany one piece after another to incorporate it into his empire—these were the constant acts of that Na poleon I. whose glorification has now become the order of the day in Paris. We should indeed have forgotten the history of blood, and of unspeakable misery, .were we to shut our eyes to the dangers threatening us now. Austria is the most power ful State in Germany ; it is her greatest, her most urgent interest to be at peace ; she can therefore not have any aggressive policy. She has shown this by thd calm and dignified demeanour evinced on every occasion, in spite of the provoking and insulting conduct of France. At the same time, endeavours are made to separate Prussia from Aus tria, by spreading the rumour that exclusively Italian interests are at stake. " We know perfectly well the intentions of France with regard to the Rhenish provinces. We also know perfectly well tie old game of separating Austria from the rest of Germany, and then, when the former by sacrifices in blood and treasure lies prostrate and exhausted, to attack the other States of Germany, and strike them down one after an other. " Bitter experience, bloody reminiscences have taught Germany to be on her guard, and energeti. cally to oppose the repetition of such scenes. But independently of these considerations, a war be tween France and Austria would likewise threaten the States of the German Confederacy, for it would threaten the territories along the German Alps and the German coasts on the Adriatic. " But in what position do we find Germany under these circumstances ? " Whilst Austria, with a promptitude and energy beyond praise, collects her troops along the whole extent of her frontiers, and meets the provocations of France by the most formidable armaments, the German Diet looks on in silence and apathy. " Is this the way to give effect to the diplomatic negotiations ? " And if, as we fear, the pacific declarations of Napoleon are only made with a view of lulling Europe into sleep, until France finds herself suffi ciently prepared for the struggle, where shall we find our materiel and our armies to meet the dan ger ? No German sincerely attached to his native land can behold this state of things, for which we must seek the only cause in the utter absence of national unity, without the deepest grief. Woe to those who have been instrumental in bringing about such a state ! But let us sink at this critical moment all minor considerations, and only think of meeting manfully the dangers which threaten our common Fatherland. Let us rise like one man to meet the aggressor. We know we are speaking in the name of millions when we express to the committee our earnest hope that the different Ger man governments will take immediate and energetic measures for the protection of Germany." STEAMERS FOR. THE SEAL FISHERY.---Messrs. Bailey and Leetham, of hull, despatched, on Thursday last, the 24th ult., two powerful screw steamers to the Greenland seal fishery, viz. :—The Labuan, Captain John Wilson, of 1,000 tons burthen ; and the Corkscrew, Capt.

Labuan had about 800 tons and the screw steamer Cork screw about 400 tons stores, provisions, &c., with a com plement between them of 100 men. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—My attention has been called to a para graph in the letter of your Naples correspondent, and which appeared recently in the Times, relative to the late accident to this company's Malta cable. It ran as follows : "The line from Malta to Cagliari has been re paired, the cable lying in shoal water ; bat, from representations which have been made to me, it rests in some parts on a bad bottom, that accidents from time to time are not at all improbable." Your correspondent has, however, been misin formed. So far from the accident having occurred in shoal water, it was in the great depth of 165 fathoms, or 230 yards ; and, although the bottom in some places was rocky, there did not appear to be any great inequalities which would endanger the safety of a cable ; it would, therefore, lie there in perfect security. The accident did not arise from abrasion on the bottom, as was abundantly clear from the fact that no previous weakness or deterio ration of signals took place, and the batter power used at Cagliari up to the time when the accident occurred was extremely small. Moreover, any motion of the sea at this great depth is out of the question. The cable does not lie anywhere in shoal water; the shallowest soundings obtained were about 40 fathoms,—a much greater depth than is met with between Dover and Calais and Ostend. The Adventure bank commences at about 120 nautical miles from Valetta, and extends for a dis tance of 55 miles in the direction of Cagliari (Sar dinia). Upwards of 20 nautical miles of cable were picked up from the bank without the least diffi culty, which would not have been the case had the bottom been rocky, and the whole of it was in the best possible condition. It had been represented to us on good authority that the bank consisted chiefly of masses of coral, and that grappling would consequently be impos sible. So far was this from being the cas a that in all the soundings and dredFings that took place . the bottom was found to be uniformly soft and to con sist of sand, gravel, and shells. A dredge of four miles in length was frequently made without meet ing anything in the shape of a rock, or, indeed, any obstruction whatever. Had the accident occurred in summer time, it might have been easily repaired in two or three days.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS ANDREWS, Engineer and General Superintendent Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company, Valetta, Malta, Feb. 23. SIR W. G. ARMSTRONG AND HIS WORKMEN. On Monday afternoon, on the first occasion of the visit of Sir W. G. Armstrong to his works at Els wick, Newcastle-on-Tyne, after receiving the honour of knighthood by her Majesty, he was presented with the following address by his workmen :—To Sir William George Armstrong. " Dear Sir Wil liam,—We, the officials and workmen in the Elswick engine -works, do ourselves the honour to congratu late you upon the great distinction that has been con ferred upon you by her Majesty on account of the security you have given to her Throne and the bene fit you have conferred upon the nation bythe construc tion of your improved cannon, the powers of which have not only excited the surprise and wonder of the British people and the British army and navy, but of the Governments of all the Powers of Europe and all other civilised nations on the globe, where ever the knowledge of its astonishing powers has been spread. We feel proud and highly honoured in being connected with an establishment one of the proprietors of which is a gentleman whose name will be handed down to posterity as one of the great men of the age, raised up by an over-ruling Provi dence to meet the exigencies of the times ; and the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne will from this time and throughout all succeeding generations boast of having been the honoured place of your nativity, We who have occasionally been permitted to wit ness your indomitable perseverance in pursuing your experiments under the most perplex ing circumstances, with the most extraordinary zeal and energy, and have observed how frequently your disappointments and failures have been made the key to the successful attainment of !your pur poses, have become involuntarily interested in your most triumphant success, and do most sincerely rejoice that to some extent the value of your inven tion and service is recognised by the Government of our country. It is our earnest prayer that you may be blessed with health to carry out your im portant schemes, and that Lady Armstrong and yourself may be long spared to enjoy those honour able distinctions which you have so justly merited." Sir Wm. Armstrong made a suitable reply At a meeting of the Whittle Dean Water Company, of which Sir Wm. Armstrong is chairman, held the same afternoon, he was congratulated on the honour conferred upon him. He replied that " Perhaps the chief ground of congratulation was to be found, not so much in the fact of any personal aggrandise ment of himself, as in the additional employment which would be given to the skilled artisans of the district." From these observations it may be in ferred that the manufacture of the rifle-cannon will be extensively earned out at the Elswick works. THE FIRE AND LOSS OF SIX LIVES IN MARYLEBONE. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wakley, the coroner for West Middlesex, held an inquiry at the Buffalo's Head Tavern, Marylebone-road, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances attend ing the fire and loss of life which took place in Great James-street, Lisson-grove, on the morning of Saturday last. The mines of the deceased were :—John Rufus Reeves, 31 ; Jane Reeves, 4 years ; Frederick Reeves, 2 years ; Emily Reeves, 6 months (his children) ; and Plicebe Goddard, 70. Another child, Christina Reeves, lies dead in St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington. The jury viewed the bodies, which lie at the dead house of St. Marylebone Workhouse, but which were beyond identity, being literally burnt to cinders. The Coroner remarked that he believed there was no impression on the mind of any one that there had been anything wrong with regard to this occurrence, or the origin of the fire. The insurance offices, he understood, were quite satisfied, and the insurance effected was small— namely, £250 on furniture and stock, and £2OO on the building. There was no suspicion that it was other than accident. A number of witnesses were examined, but no additional facts were elicited than those which we have already given. Some discrepancy appedred in the evidence as to the time of the arrival of the escape and engines, one of the witnesses stating that a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes elapsed before the arrival of the former, and half an hour the latter. Mr. James Braidwood, the superintendent of the London Fire Brigade, was examined upon this point, and said, when at a fire, if life was in danger, it was the duty of the police, in the first instance, to send for the fire escape, and then the engine. He could only attribute, as in the late Bloomsbury case, the loss of time in sending for the engine, to the excessive anxiety of the police to save life, that they all ran first for the escape. The Coroner said the object of these inquiries was to prevent a recurrence of such frightful calamities in future, and it appeared to him that, in this in stance, there had been a frightful misapprehension of duty on the part of the police.. Mr:lnspector Braddick said every policeman had a card of his duty in cases of fire, and it was read to the men on parade once a month. It was the duty of the first man who discovered a fire to re main at the premises; of the second, when inha bited, to run for the escape ; and the third, to run for the nearest engine. In reference to the burning of the fire escape, Mr. Sampson Low, the secretary to the Escape Society, said, in answer to the coroner, that the canvas of the escape was saturated in a solution of alum and zinc, and cased with a lattice of copper wire, but yet they would burn. The Coroner having summed up, The jury returned a verdict, to the effect that the deceased persons lost their lives by the fire, but how it originated there was no evidence to show. The foreman expressed the opinion of the jury that the fire escape reached the fire with all possible promptitude ; and they concurred with the coroner in suggesting that an efficient organisation of the police should be effected as to the course they should adopt in cases of fire. DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning the coroner for Southwark received information of the death of Mr. James Burr, aged 40 years, who resided in Doctors' Commons, St. Paul's Churchyard. His wife, on going into his bedroom, found her husband lying in a pool of blood, which was issuing from a frightful gash in his throat. Medical assistance was sent for, and promptly arrived, but the unfortunate man shortly expired. No cause is assigned for the act. MEETING OF TILE CONSEICVA77VE PARTY. (From the Times.) The meeting of the Conservative party called by Lord Derby yesterday was attended by upwards of 200 members, and it was resolved that the bill presented by Mr.i Disraeli on Monday night should receive their support. This gathering is certainly larger than could have been obtained by any other statesman, or probably by the two Whig leaders combined, and it gives reason to suppose that the measure of the Cabinet will be at least read a second time. Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley were both absent, but the demeanour of their party must have been somewhat of a disappointment to both gentlemen. No disruption of Lord Derby's follow ing has taken place ; no regret has been uttered that the two retiring statesmen were not propi tiated by a change in the Ministerial measure. The Conservatives have stood by their chosen leaders, and the only result of Mr. - Walpole's and Mr. Henley's scruples is that they are out, and Mr. Estcourt and Lord Donoughmore are in. The ex planation given in the Hduse of Commons last night adds little to what was known before. It only in forms us that not till the 25th of January was the great principle of the bill decided upon. The mea sure is obviously one for the extension of the suf frage, and nothing else—a liberal measure certainly, but simple enough, and the main points of it could be jotted down in ten minutes at a Cabinet meeting. Yet the only matter in it lint* to dis cussion was not approached until a month ago. The whole of the past year seems to have been taken up by. Ministers in resolving to avoid alto :;ether the question of disfranchisement ; for the little appendage about the fifteensetits . is evidently analogous to the legacy of one shilline , by which the testator rebuts the presumption of having forgotten his undutiful heir. It would seem, then, that the Cabinet laboured hard in the production of the measure on which public attention is now occupied, and completed their task at last by-a somewhat spasmodic effort, Unlike the Whigs, -who are committed to certain traditional beliefs concerning representation, Lord Derby and his friends approached the subject with all the impar tiality of dislike. Any change they -Were opposed to; the onlyquestion was which would least offend their own party, while satisfying the Opposition to whom they looked for support. This result was to be expected from a Government existing by the dissensions of a hostile majority. A Ministry with out any convictions favourable to reform naturally fell into the notion of conciliating every claimant. The people were supposed to be anxious for the suffrage, but not very clamorous about electoral districts, while tho members of Parliament do not care about an addition to their constituencies, but object mortally to a destruction of the seats they pleasantly occupy. The tacticians of the Treasury Bench accord ingly, after a year's reflection, determined to please the people by giving the suffrage, and to please the members of Parliament by preserving their seats for them. The consequence is half of a very liberal measure. The suffrage scheme is liberal, and may be made more liberal in committee; it moreover contains in the equalisation of the county and borough suffrage a principle pregnant with im portant consequences. On the other hand, in the Reform Bill proper, the disfranchisement and en franchisement of districts is laid aside for the pre sent. The Ministry will not undergo the baiting of Wiltshire and Devonshire borough members, furious at the thought of having to contest at the next election some newly created Hoxton or Mile end, but they have no objection to a transfer of political power by an increase of the constituency, or to the sanction of theories which they formerly declared to be mischievous and revolutionary. In short, it is plain that the Government have in their scheme been guided principally by their desire to find a measure which was likely to pass. It is, no doubt, a good common-sense principle ; feasibility is a prime consideration in politics, but the result in the present case is the production of a bill with a very strange and truncated appearance. However, we go with the Government entirely in their plan for extending the suffrage, and we can see no force in the objections and no ground for the terrors of Mr. Walpole. In his letter to Lord Derby he observes that "the reduction of the County occupation franchise to a level with that which exists in boroughs is utterly contrary to every principle which the Conservative party has always maintained." Now, this argument, though it may have its weight among Conserva tives, who are presumed to be bound by a certain party creed, is no argument at all to the commu nity at large. It is no concern of ours whether the doctrine of an equalised franchise was held by certain men ; we only wish to inquire whether it is just and reasonable. So we pass on to the gene ral reasoning of the Home Secretary, as far as we can understand it. "It is to my mind," he says, " a most dangerous innovation, by giving to tem porary and fluctuating occupations a preponderat ing influence over property and intelligence, while it throws large masses into the constituencies who are almost exempt from direct taxation, and there fore interested in forcing their representatives to fix that taxation on others." This piece of political wisdom almost baffles criticism. We hardly know how to approach a sentence which does contain a single clear statement or an intelligible deduc tion. In what way residence in houses rated be tween £lO and £5O is a temporary and fluctuating occupation more than residence in houses rated above £so—how any occupation can be considered legally more temporary and fluctuating than that of a tenant at will, are matters which Mr. Walpole would find it difficult to explain, and it wouldbe desirable that he should give the grounds of his belief that large constituencies are likely to force their representa tives to fix direct taxation on others. The equaliza tion of the franchise only allows the same man to vote in a county as votes in a borough. Why should there be any distinction ? What social inferiority belongs to the man who lives outside the limits of a town ? If it is argued that in agricultural districts rent is often paid on house and land, and not on house alone, so that a £lO voter might live in a house worth only £3 or £4 a-year, the land being, in fact, the materials of his business ; still, on the other hand, house rent proper is lower in the coun try than in towns, so that a rent of £lO for a resi dence in the former denotes a higher class of man than it does in a borough. The two things compen sate one another, and justify the adoption of an identical franchise. As for the assertion that the counties are intended to return one class of mem bers and the towns another, it is an assertion, and nothing more. We deny it, and say that the distinction between boroughs and counties was in times past, and still is, founded on the principle of giving an individuality and a corporate life to the electoral district. A borough received a writ because it was a unity: the bur gesses knew one another, transacted public business among themselves, and knew who was the best man in their community to send to Parliament. The county, similarly, had its own organisation, and was deputed to return members elected by classes analo gous, as far as the state of society allowed, to those which voted in boroughs. That the boroughs should be commercial, and the counties agricultural, lay in the nature of things ; but it certainly is not of the essence of the British or any other constitution that it should be determined a priori what element in the representation should be furnished by par ticular districts." The distinction between borough and county franchise is plainly 'unreasonable. The man who is fit to vote in one place is fit in another, an d the arguments against " large masses," and fluctuating occupations," ought either to be dropped or carried to their legitimate conclusion by a plan for restricting the borough franchise. It is the misfortune of Mr Walpole and Mr. Henley that they have resigned office through disapproval of the very principle which will commend the bill most strongly to the country. IMPRISONMtNT FOR DEBT IN FItANCE.—It was stated some time back that the Civil Tribunal had ordered a 11r. Lorck, an Englishman imprisoned for a debt due to the Company of the Hotel de Louvre, to be set at liberty on the ground that as the judgment sending him to prison did not say for what length of time he was to be detained, he could not, though a foreigner, be imprisoned for a longer period than six months, the minimum fixed by law—which six months' confinement he had undergone. The Hotel Com pany appealed against this decision to the Imperial Court, and the Court lately heard lengthened arguments on the appeal ; but the judges, being equally divided in opinion on the subject, could not come to a decision. Three other judges accordingly had to be adjoined to them to con sider the case. On Saturday the Court decided that the judgment of the Civil Tribunal should be confirmed. [ADvEnTiamuENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills, a Cure for Abscesses, Piles, Fistulas, and Sores —The very satisfactory results arising from the use of this invaluable ointment, in cases where patients have been suffering from abscesses, ulcers, piles, or fistulas, have induced the medical profession to introduce it into the hospitals and their private practice; and, in many instances. where the sufferer was considered incurable, Holloway's Ointment, in conjunction with his pills, healed the most desperate wounds. They are also unequalled for the cure of scrofula, scurvy, and other diseases of the skin. In the latter months of the year the fog and cold winds generally roughen the skin, and cause it to feel harsh and uncomfortable, which this ointment at once cures. ck`7o ) . 'e • 3.14 X . Capt.

(From he Registrar-General's Report.) The total deaths registered in the metropolitan districts, which in the previous week were 1,156, rose to 1,226 in the week that ended last Saturday. In the 10 years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week NVIS 1,223 ; but as the deaths in the present return occurred in a population which has increased, they can only be compared with the average raised in proportion to that increase, a correction which will make it 1,345. The public health is therefore, at present, so far in a satisfactory state, that deaths were less by 119 than the number which the ave rage rate of mortality for the end of February would have produced. The mortality from scarlatina (including diph theria) exhibits a considerable decrease on the re turns of previous weeks. At the end of January the deaths under this head, in a week, were 113 ; at the end of February they were 68. But those from diphtheria appear to be no less numerous, for out of the 68 deaths 21 were from this disease, which occurred in the following sub-districts :-1 in Brompton, 2 in Belgrave, 1 in St. Margaret, West minster. 1 in Regent's-park, 1 in Islington West, 1 in St. George, Bloomsbury, 1 in St. Giles' South, 1 in St. Mary-le•Strand, 1 in St. Clement Danes, 1 in Gosvvell-street, 1 in West London North, 1 in London City, North-east, 1 in Hackney-road, 1 in Ratcliff, 1 in Bow, 1 in St. Peter, Walworth, 1 in Peckham, lin Greenwich East, and 2in Lea. There were 11 deaths from smallpox, 6 of which occurred in the East districts. Sixty-four children died from whooping-cough. Diarrhoea was fatal in only 6 cases, all of which occurred to children. Seven children and 2 adults died of syphilitic disease ; 2 persons from intemperance, besides 3 from delirium tremens. The deaths of 5 nonagenarians are re corded, the oldest of whom was a man who died at the age of 95.
