ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA; 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 liypochrondrlasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICK IeCIED. " 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 Gqually tia!)-r.., ant evil which it may be in his power to correct."--Lond o n 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 Spermaterrhcea 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, plams it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotatiox of gold at Parit is about I d, and the short exchange on London is 25.11, per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standar.' gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per Cont. dearer in Path than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mi n t pr i ce i s therefore about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109 t t per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is about at par ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

The screw steamship Adelaide, Commander Car ter, having been chartered by the War Department, and numbered 5 transport, for tho conveyance of military stores, &c., to China, yesterday steamed down to Woolwich from the Victoria-docks to enter upon her engagement. The accommodations of tho Adelaide are on a most superior scale, and her stowage room is immense. She was built for the service of the Australian Royal Mail Company. A great portion of her cabin room has been removed, a new poop and forecastle built, and her engines overhauled to make her complete for the voyage. On her arrival at Hong Kong she will discharge her cargo, and remain at the disposal of the ship- Pink authorities for the conveyance of the troops to various destinations. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamsloop Hecate and the Princess Alice, on completion of repairs at Woolwich, were yesterday hauled out of basin and steamed down the river on an engineer's trial of machinery. The steam storeship Supply yesterday proceeded to Deptford to ship victualling stores, and the Rhadamanthos entered the outer basin to em bark boilers and steam gear for the western yards. The screw steamship Nile, 90, Captain Wilmot, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday night. She left Queenstown on Saturday last, at 9 a.m., with the Haddlewheel steamship Hydra, 6, Commandar amilton, and when off the Land's End the Hydra took the Nile in tow, but cast her off again, and, after a short interval, renewed the duty, and took her into the Sound. After discharging her powder the Nile will go into Hamoaze, where her crew will be turned over to the screw steamship Sanspareil, 70. The Hydra is short of her complement. The screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. Patey, having had her copper repaired and cleaned and valves overhauled, was taken out of No. 3 dock at Keyham, Plymouth, on Monday. The screw steam ship Conqueror, 101, Capt. Wilcox, was in the afternoon placed in the same dock, to have her boilers cleaned, copper repaired, and valves over hauled. The screw steamship Edgar, 91, Capt. James E. katon, flag of Admiral Erskine, was appointed to leave Plymouth yesterday for Portland. On arrival the screw steamship Royal Albert, / 121, Captain Lacon, flag of Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, will probably leave for Plymouth. VOLUNTEER COMPS. DALSTON. Last evening a numerously attended meeting was held at Albion-hall, Albion-square, Dalston, for the purpose of taking steps to promote the formation of a volunteer rifle corps for Dalston and its vicinity. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings said, often as' he had attended meetings in that institu tion, he had never attended a more important one. For some years past we had believed in the naval superiority of England, but at the present time a totally new set of ideas had taken possession of the public mind. He did not mention the subject of rifle corps for the first time, as a few months back he called attention to the state of our foreign rela tions. The Press had done an immense service to the country by the interest it had exhibited in the state of our national defences. While our navy was suffered to go into decay, the French had year by year been increasing theirs ; and it was with pro found astonishment that we learnt that the French navy was superior to ours, and it was only then we commenced to look upon France with doubt. Ho did not believe that by writing to foreign Powers we could ascertain their intentions, as assurances given upon paper might be hollow. He considered that we ought to have a commission to inquire into the state of our defences. It was highly necessary that we should take steps to put ourselves into a proper state of defence, as instances hadbecn known of the French taking advantage of an opportunity and capturing our vessels in the Channel ; but at present it was a great deal easier, for steam had bridged the Channel over; it could be soon done by small steamers sailing every hour or so, and if an invading force once obtained a footing , on our shores, no man could tell what army might be landed, or what force it would take to oppose its landing. Ile did not wish to create alarm, but it was his firm opinion that our standing army was not strong enough to defend our shores. He hoped sincerely that this great movement would not vanish with the excitement of the moment, but would become a permanent institution of the coun try. With respect to the uniforms of rifle corps, he was of opinion that they should be plain and inexpensive. Volunteers did not require a gaudy nniform. Time enough for the uniform when war was about to commence. He concluded by observ ing that the working men of England had taken very little notice of the great movement. This was very unsatisfactory. A great deal of mischief was being done to the movement by exclusive corps. Ho should like to see the working men of England join heartily in the movement. He would advise them not to degrade their corps by electing officers who had a little more money than others, but to elect officers of military worth. A letter was then read from Mr. Butler, M.P., stating that he was most anxious for the formation of rifle corps in every parish in the Tower Hamlets. He considered it better to avoid fancy names, such as Albert, Wellington, Combermere, &c. The following resolution was then moved by the Rev. Mr. MvEns, seconded by Mr. AYSIIFORD, and carried unanimously : "That this meeting considers it desirable to form a Dal ston Rifle Corps, and pledges itself to promote the same." A considerable number of names having been en rolled, and subscriptions announced, the proceed ings closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. NORTH LONDON. The five companies appointed by the Lord-Lieu tenant for the Northern District of London have amalgamated under the title of the North London Rifle Volunteers. An influential council is formed, and will shortly be announced. The 4th and sth companies are now in an advanced state of drill at Angle's Riding School, and the 4th has received the proportion of rifles allowed by Government. LONDON IRISH. Yesterday a meeting of the working committee was held for general purposes, the Earl of Arran in the chair. A large number of communications were read by the hon. secretary from various noblemen and gentlemen who had not previously given in their adhesion, all strongly supporting the move ment and intimating their warm co-operation at the same time forwarding handsome subscriptions. One of the latest names thus received was that of the Marquis of Drogheda. The use of Westminster Hall baying been proeured, as already stated, for drill twice a-week—viz., on Tuesday and Thursday evenings—it was resolved to call the first muster next Thursday evening. A telegram was received from Liverpool last evening informing the secretary that the committee engaged in forming an Irish corps there had at a meeting that day (Tuesday) resolved upon co-operating with the London body, and a similar communication has been received from the Manchester corps. BARNARD CASTLE. A very enthusiastic meeting in furtherance of the establishment of a rifle corps at this place was held last week. Mr. W. J. S. Morritt, of Rokeby, was in the chair, being ably seconded by a huge num ber of the gentry and 'clergy of the district. The chairman, after explaining the conditions and other matters for general information; announced that he intended to provide a practice ground and targets, and - to subscribe £2O. Mrs. Morritt would give ; and no doubt many other gentlemen and ladies would follow their example. The Rev. T. Witham, of Lartington, also made a donation of £2O, and othor gentlemen came forward with lesser amounts. A committee was organised, and the name "Bar nard Castle Rifles," was changed to " Teesdale Vo lunteer Rifles." BIRMINGHAM. A meeting of the gunmakers of Birmingham (chiefly those engaged in the military department), was held on Monday afternoon. The meeting had been especially convened with the view to initiate some action on the part of the association in sup port of the rifle corps movement. The contractors to the War-office are at present under contract to deliver 2,000 guns per week. In these circum stances it was urged by Mr. J. 1). Goodman, Mr. W. L. Sargent, and other gentlemen, that it was the duty of the trade to set a good example in this matter, irrespective of any patriotic impulse by which they might be animated. The result was a resolution to the effect that a list be opened, in which each contractor should put his name down for the number of men he was prepared to equip. It is expected that the contractors in the military department will equip 100 men, and that those who are engaged in the birding gun trade will also equip a proportionate number of men. BRAMPTON. A public meeting was held at Brampton, Cum berland, on Monday, to establish a volunteer rifle corps for the town and neighbourhood. The chair was taken by Mr. W. P. Johnson. Subscriptions were announced, and it was stated that 36 had volunteered to find their rifles, uniform, and accou trements, 13 to find uniforms only, and 36 more would join if they were equipped free of expense to thetnselves. CARNARVONSIIIRR A public meeting has been held, at which it was agreed to form a rifle corps in the county. A meeting has been-held at Carnarvon, and a re solution passed that a corps shall be raised in that town to constitute a portion of the county corps. A like resolution was passed at a meeting at Bangor. Col. Pennant, M.P., presided, and put his name down for £lOO. DEVONSHIRE. A numerous and influential meeting of noblemen, deputy-lieutenants, magistrates, and yeomen of the county of Devon, convened by the Lord-Lieutenant (Earl Fortescue), was held on Monday at the Castle of Exciter, to promote the forination of volunteer rifle corps in the rural districts of the county, and to receive tlle reports of what had been already ac complished. Fortescue • presided, and among those present %vete the Earl of Devon, Lord Chur ston, Lord Poltimore, Sir T. D. Acland, Sir E. S. Prideaux (Major-Commandant of the Exeter and South Devon Rifle Corps), Sir S. H. Northcote, M.P., Sir J. L. Duntze, Sir J. T. B. Duckworth, Sir M. Lopes, M.P., Sir J. Kennaway, Sir W. H; Tonkin, tie Hon. C. R. Trefusis, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. J. Fortescue, Mr. S. T. Kekewich, M.P., Mr. J. W. Buller, M.P., Mr. B. S. Gard, M.P., Mr Mills, M.P., Mr. T. D. Acland, ke. !urge. Earl FORTESCUE, in opening the proceedings of themeoting, said that the plan for the extension of rifle volunteers into the rural districts of the county had received the approbation of the authorities at the War-office. (Cheers.) He had 'received a let ter from the Under-Secretary for War, who said : "I understand that you have called a public meeting in Deionshire on the subject of the formation of corps of mounted rifle voiunteers, anti I am induced, by the interest which Iffeel in the amiceAs of the movement, tots euble you with this note for the purpose of assuring you that this plan meets with Mr. Herbert's approbation. A corps of this kind, if organised on a good system, will be very useful, ang I have little doubt that if the attempt now making in your county proves successful, the example will be exten sively followed elsewhere. I trust that your mounted rifle men (and to this the noble earl called the particular atten tion of the meeting) will bear in mind that they are infantry on horseback, and not cavalry occasionally on foot. Infan try drill should be the basis of their instruction ; the rifle, and not the sword, their principal. weapon." (Cheers.) The noble earl then remarked upon the state and circumstances of affairs both a.t home and abroad which had given rise to the rifle movement, and which had happily, he said, extended through out the length and breadth of the land. (Cheers.) He had always earnestly desired to see the rela tions of alliance and amity firmly established be tween England and France. He must say also that he never for one moment had entertained any apprehensions of invasion. He believed that the great ruler of France knew too well the true in terests of the country which he ruled over to desire to see any interruption of reciprocal good feeling and friendship between that country and this. (Hear, hear.) Further, he believed that the Em peror had the energy and power to carry out his desires. But they must not forget the important words of the Duke of Wellington—that steam navi gation had bridged over the sea. He felt, there fore, that this country must not owe to the forbear ance and will of any other country its exemption from insult or protection from attack. They had up to a recent period considered themselves a nation of sailors, and their enemy had once called them a " nation of shopkeepers ;" but a new era had now dawned, and they must henceforth resolve to make England permanently a nation of soldiers. (Cheers.) The Earl of DEVON moved the first resolution, to the effect that the meeting cordially recognized the importance of permanent volunteer organization for the defence of the country. He believed that a permanent volunteer organization was that which would enable England to speak with that weight in the councils of the world which she had hitherto done. (Hear.) Mr. lluLnEn, M.P., seconded the resolution, in doing which he said, that when they saw France and Russia engaged in forming large naval forces, it was necessary to preserve, as far as in them lay, their naval supremacy, and to keep up a permanent volunteer force at home. (Cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously. Lord CIIIJRSTON moved the next resolution, in which the desirability of extending the rifle corps of towns to the rural districts was expressed. His lordship congratulated the country on the patriotism of the ladies, and stated that Lady Rolle had sig nified her intention of equipping from 25 to 50 men at her own cost—an example which he hoped would be extensively followed. (Cheers.) Sir T. D. ACLAND seconded the resolution, and stated that Lord Poltimore and himself had just succeeded in forming a rifle company of (30 men in their neighbourhood. (Cheers.) The motion was carried by acclamation. Several magistrates present reported that rifle companies had been formed in various parts of the county of Devon. Lord POLTIMORE then moved, and Sir M. LOPES seconded the appointment of a committee, which was carried. . Mr. W. PORTER stated that he had succeeded in forming a corps of 60 men in three small parishes • with which he was connected, and that, although • at first it was understood that Government would only supply one-half the number of rifles required,_ e he was now happy to state to the meetin g that h t al t themeetGteervefrroemetwas prepared Secret r aryf e o d r l a r hd a r , j announcingust received that . to supply the whole of the rifles. (Cheers.) A unanimous vote of thethanyksteetino y rifle county eLord i Lieutenant for his zeal in rein corps concluded the proceedings of the meeting. DEATH OF LORD HOLLAND.—We have to an nounce the death of Lord Holland at Naples, intelligence of which has been received by telegraph. The mournful occurrence took place on Sunday, after a short but severe illness, which baffled the most eminent medical skill. The deceased, Henry Edward Fox, Ba ron H o ll an d o f H o ll an d , county Lincoln, and Baron Holland of Foxley, county Wilts, in the peerage of Great Britain, was only son of Henry, 3d Baron, by his marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Richard Vassall. The deceased peer was born on the 7th of March, 1802, and married on the 9th of May, 1833, Lady Mary Augusta Coventry, only daughter of the late Earl of Coventry. The late Lord entered the diplo matic service in July, 1831, and was for some time attachil to the Embassy at St. Peterburg, whence he was removed in 1832 to Turin, as Secretary of Legation. In July, .1835, he proceeded to Vienna in a similar capacity, and continued there till April, 1838, when he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Germanic Confederation. Having held that post up to December the same year ho•was re moved to Florence, where he was Resident Minister up to June, 1846, when on vacating that post at the Court of Tuscany, he retired altogether from diplomatic duties, mainly, we believe, from the indifferent state of his health. On the death of his father in October, 1840, he succeeded to the title and family estates. his Lordship not leaving any issue the barony becomes extinct. t. A t.or 1 L 61,1) J. RUSSELL'S 17'41 t 44 *** 0 ' fik'Ay At a meeting of citizens of Glas :w 4-A-4 4.7-1 , stiP• pious Institution-rooms, on Friday, e . December, Bailie 111‘Adam in the chair, 16: R. t S M'Tear, secretary, the following address to Lord John Russell was unanimously adopted:— " We, the undersignedcitizens of Glasgow beg to ex press to your-lordship our high satisfaction that, in the present critical . aspect of Italian affairs, the direction of the foreign polity of this empire is in the hands of one who has proved his attachment to liberty by noble and successful labours on behalf of the civil and religious rights of his own country men. "We Ip.iled with the heartiest sympathy your lordship's loud and solemn protest' at Aberdeen (on occasion of your acceptance of the freedom of that city, September 28, 1859), against any inter - ference by foreign force' to prevent the Italians from ' having their own Government,' arid conducting neje affairs as they- like,' and becoming the free citizens of a free country.' Your lordship irre ported to have said that if there should be a Con gress of the Powers of Europe,' we might assist only upon one condition—viz , that with respect to the using of foreign force,in order to compel those conditions of peace, whatever they may be, to be enforced, so as to interfere with the right of the people of these countries to manage their own con cerns—that if such is the object, or may be thdre suit of such a Congress, England must stand apart and take no concern in it ;' and we therefore hope fully conclude that the fact of her Majesty's Go vernment consenting totako part in the Congress is a sign that the just rights of a great people are not to be outraged or dettiVed. "We now venture to address your lordship to give you the clearest .asssurance that in the main tenance orthe principles enunciated _at Aberdeen you, will be supported by this great community, and also, as we firmly believe, by the nation at large. We accept gladly as the guiding l aw o f the foreign policy of our country your lordship's declaration that the different States of Europe should be in dependent, that (in your lordship's own words) they should manage their own concerns, and that no one State should have a preponderance in Europe, no matter what should be the constitutions or the internal Government of the rest. We assure your lordship that the practical maintenance'of this principle, in its application to the affairs of Italy, will add the gratitude of an Italian nation to the gratitude felt by your coun trymen for your services unto them, and will join to the gratitude of Britain and Italy the admiring respect of every lover of freedom in the world at „ ” In times of anxious difficulty like the present, it cannot but strengthen the hands of a British Statesman if the world knows that he possesses the confidence of the people, the maintenance of whose honour he holds in charge. Such confidence we now express. You yourself declared 'the indtipen deuce of the several States of Europe an object which Great Britain ought to feel a sympathy for and an interest in.' Feeling such sympathy and interest, we trust your lordship will stretch to the utmost the influence of Britain at the coming Con gress to procure the withdrawal of all foreign troops whatsoever from Italian soil. Seldom in history has people so suddenly proved itself adequate to the task of sell-government as have The Italians in recent times—seldom in history has so clear a way been opened for the spread of religious liberty over a land long held in spiritual bondage; and foreign ' intervention has no excuse to plead, for it has no wrong to redress and no blessing to bestow. "We believe, moreover, the issue of the Congress •a matter not merely of Italian but European mo ment. What safety can any State possess if its internal affairs arc subject to the decision of a Con gress ? If the States of Central Italy are to be en forced to act against their own recorded convic tions, why may not any other States be compelled to exist under like subordination to a few para mount Powers ? It is the great question of Euro pean liberty itself which is now at stake. " Finally, we would express our hope that your lordship's influence will be exerted to prevent un due delay in the proceedings of the Congress as tending to complicate still _more dangerously the difficulties of a land in whose past history-civilised Europe has a garteful interest—a land bounteously blessed by Providence, but too long unhappy through the misrule of men not native to its soil, and not rejoicing in its freedom or its glory. " With high respect we remain your Lordship's faithful obedient servants." The memorial is being very respectably and numerously signed. UNIVERSITY INTELLIG EXCE. CAMBRIDGE, DEC. 19.
